Hornby is not unacquainted with misfortune. His parents split when he was 11, and he's divorced himself. Like Maureen, he has a disabled child; his son Danny is autistic. And although at 48 he's on a serious roll-the movie Fever Pitch is based on a memoir of his, and Johnny Depp just bought the rights to A Long Way Down-like JJ, Hornby knows the pain of a stalled career. "A lot of that is about remembering how frustrated and hopeless I felt when I was 30 and didn't think I'd ever be able...

He trudges through the woods, swats imagined flies, collapses against doors. One exasperated woman asks him, "Do you say, 'I'm sorry that I'm a rock-and-roll cliche'?" Van Sant and Pitt aren't sorry. They embrace the standard version of the pop star as lost boy, doomed poet; Blake is a rock Rimbaud. At the end he dies (as he is obliged to do) and ascends the wall of his room into rock-and-roll heaven - which...
...week to raise money to promote her campaign to combat heart disease. She will travel to Jordan later this month to deliver a speech on democracy at the World Economic Forum. And in a gambit previewed by Barbara Bush more than 15 years ago, the President's team will roll out Laura when nothing else is working. When the re-election campaign was in trouble last year, Laura showed up in her husband's TV ads, first as a quick, cutaway picture on his desk and then with speaking roles, as aides realized how her power registered with focus groups...
