...Homesick Blues”-era Dylan, not least in the rambunctious and rock-steady band Dylan has assembled around him, including a guitarist who almost outdoes Robbie Robertson’s blistering licks from the good old days of the Hawks. Dylan has produced the album himself under the pseudonym Jack Frost, which gives the album a much more straight-up feel, in contrast to the wizardry of Daniel Lanois (U2, Peter Gabriel). On Time, Lanois placed Dylan’s voice, sounding the oldest and possibly frailest it ever has, right at the front of the mix, creating...
...Written with poet Mason Hoffenberg, Southern's best-remembered comic novel, "Candy" (1964) had a curious history: first published in 1958 under the pseudonym "Maxwell Kenton" by the Paris-based Olympia Press (a firm that printed trite erotica and debuted groundbreaking works like "Lolita" and "Naked Lunch"), the book fell into a strange copyright limbo on these shores. In interviews, Southern quoted the book's sales at 7 million - it was a "New York Times" bestseller in its official U.S. edition, but thousands of copies were sold through bootleg printings of the book by no-name publishing houses, marketed...

They may be like "Beth," a pseudonym, a middle school student in Boston whose hemophobia, or fear of blood, was so severe that even a figure of speech like "cut it out" could make her faint. Or they may be like "Jean," 38, an executive assistant in New Jersey who is so terrified of balloons that just walking into a birthday party can make...
...story of a gay man and the policeman who arrests him. The editing of Postman was halted by the censors; the film had to be smuggled out of China, and was completed with a grant from the Rotterdam Film Festival. In 1996, Wang Xiaoshuai made Frozen under the pseudonym Wu Ming (literally No Name), for fear of government retribution; another of his films, So Close to Paradise, a noirish study of gangsters in Shanghai, was reshot, recut and withheld for five years. Jia Zhangke shot Xiao Wu (Pickpocket, 1997) despite the censors' rejection of his script; he was banned from...
