There probably weren't really that many murderous hippies running around in the 1960s, but you wouldn't know it from the novels of the past decade. Ever since Merry Levov blew up a post office in Philip Roth's American Pastoral, it has been like one long, literary Altamont: Russell Banks, T.C. Boyle, Susan Choi, Christopher Sorrentino and Dana Spiotta have all written books about nut-job flower children. And here come two more: Peter Carey's His Illegal Self (Knopf; 272 pages) and Hari Kunzru's My Revolutions (Dutton; 288 pages). Didn't anybody just leave...
...between our two countries is that nine out of 10 French know who Marceau was, while only one in 10 Americans has heard of Mailer. And others, more mischievous still, would assert that Mailer was better known in Europe than in the U.S. Indeed, Woody Allen, William Klein, Philip Roth, Paul Auster and so many other American creative spirits are bigger draws in this country, with its supposedly moribund culture, than they are in the U.S. No doubt, you will say, this is because our French artists are not up to scratch, and our public turns to talents from elsewhere...
...Actually, we don't call it being online famous; we call it 'famo,'" says Wilkinson, who conceived the "Internet Famous" course along with friends and semi-famo digital artists James Powderly and Evan Roth.

...novella by Romanian author Mircea Eliade. Like Coppola, the film’s main character is given an opportunity to reestablish himself. Unfortunately, neither of them succeed in their pursuits. The film begins in 1938 and follows a once-great, but now-aging professor of linguistics named Dominic (Tim Roth). Intent on ending his life, he takes a stroll through Bucharest armed with an envelope of enough strychnine to do the deed, but a bolt of lightening surges through the sky, hitting his body. After he is taken to the hospital, doctors do not expect him to recover. When...
...Roth and Powderly must be content with loaning and donating L.A.S.E.R. Tag equipment, and they are finding a particularly enthusiastic reception in Asia. "Technology has a very different meaning in China, in Korea," says Marc Schiller of popular street-art website Wooster Collective. Schiller sees L.A.S.E.R. Tag as standing in the tradition of such pioneering new-media artists as the late Korean-born Nam June Paik. "[In Asia] it's not thought of as incompatible or separate from art," he says...
