Attempting to flesh out the life of this peculiar prophet in a work of imaginative historical fiction is Milton Steinberg, formerly the rabbi of the Park Avenue Synagogue in New York City and a prolific author on Jewish thought. Much like its subject matter, the book is unusual. Though it was released to much fanfare this March, Steinberg died in 1950. “The Prophet’s Wife” is an unfinished manuscript, long preserved in boxes of papers and correspondence, and only now edited and presented to the public. The book has no ending, though...
...Start-up Nation Twenty miles south of Austin, in a nondescript industrial park, sits a bland, corrugated-metal building with a roll-up door. Inside the building sits the future of the U.S. economy...
Time travel is hardly a stylistic innovation in theater these days. One pretty good new off-Broadway play, Clybourne Park, dramatizes the racial changes in an inner-city Chicago neighborhood by twinning two scenes 50 years apart: the arrival of the neighborhood's first black family in 1959 and the invasion of the first gentrifying white couple in the now all-black neighborhood in 2009.

Rather, as in the works of Faulkner...
...first appearance of Fernando Alonso, a Spaniard and former world champion, as a driver for Ferrari's Formula One racing team. Whenever he briefly poked his head out, crowds hooted wildly and waved red Ferrari hats and Spanish flags. Further down the paddock, where the F1 teams park their massive rolling pavilions, journalists were shoving microphones and cameras at another small man, this one all in silver. Michael Schumacher, the seven-time F1 world champion, was coming out of retirement in the livery of his new Mercedes team. The questions were not tough. "How does the car feel, Michael...
...this year's F1 schedule. Yas Island in Abu Dhabi is. The gulf state has spent $1 billion on the new track and $39 billion on the outlandish infrastructure surrounding it, including hotels, golf courses and Ferrari World, billed as the world's largest indoor theme park. Here you can experience the g-forces of an F1 racer firsthand on a roller coaster that reaches speeds of 124m.p.h. (200 km/h). The roller coaster may be more thrilling than the race itself. New tracks like Yas Island are a soccer mom's dream of safety, and no one has died...
