...German novelist Benno von Archimboldi. Shallow globetrotters with a surplus of luxury time, they combine and couple in various permutations of the three male critics and their single female colleague, endure bizarre and horrifying dreams, and plunge stoically into the breach between art and madness. Their search for a trace of the living author leads them to Santa Teresa, where a brush with the Spanish professor Oscar Amalfitano gives way to that character’s own section. Of all the protagonists throughout “2666,” Amalfitano is perhaps the most typical for Bola?...
...nominal idea of the concerts was to trace rock's journey by pairing up Hall inductees of different vintages and styles for performances that highlight influence. Or just generate a highlight.

In the end, however, holiday cheer prevailed, prompting a reluctant revaluation: Surely there must be some recent, unanticipated events that merit...
...financial records that Indian authorities say prove that the attacks were planned by a jihadi network based in Pakistan. U.S. investigators and U.S. citizens who witnessed the attacks gave testimony in Mumbai; Mumbai police also got help from American intelligence officials when they went to New Jersey to trace calls routed through a U.S.-based internet phone service. The Indian government has presented several dossiers of evidence to Pakistani authorities to prosecute defendants there. On Wednesday, an anti-terrorism court in Pakistan indicted seven people for planning the attacks, including Zaki ur Rehman Lakhvi, a leader of Lashkar-e-Taiba...
