...whatever's ripe for picking. He'll serve a langoustine flanked by barely cooked tiny yellow carrots and a minute fronded radish. Morels arrive with an ethereal foam of potato puree and the sweetest miniature broad beans, scattered with chive flowers and effervescent with just-picked flavor. Rare San Remo red prawns, barely yet precisely grilled to retain their lucidity and sweetness, are a signature dish, served with wild strawberries and a showering of subtly flavorful petals including borage, fennel, hyssop and yarrow. The surprises of taste and texture might continue with something like savory-sweet fresh-pea soup...

The narrative perspective alternates fluidly between its three protagonists: Gaspar Heredia, a Mexican night watchman at a camp ground in the Spanish coastal town of Z; Remo Morán, a Chilean novelist running several businesses in the town; and Enric Rosquelles, a deputy to the mayor of Z.

She claims that most of the bags are simply very good quality fakes, but admits that a couple may have...
...through March 15 at the Loeb Drama Center—produce a near-perfect experience of Beckett’s absurdist drama about nothing and everything. Will LeBow is Hamm, the blind leader of his twisted little family, which includes his servant Clov (Thomas Derrah) and immobile parents, Nagg (Remo Airaldi) and Nell (Karen MacDonald), who live in ashbins. Unable to move from his wheelchair, Hamm is at once in command of this bizarre family unit and yet powerless to fully control his own self. What ensues is the daily, almost ritualistic routine of these characters, who move towards...
