Fall Fournew

Four fall fiction choices outside the usual: Baltimore, or the Steadfast Tin Soldier; Lois Lenz, Lesbian Secretary; The Faith Healer of Olive Avenue; and 2236. These novels are genre-benders that provide new ways of looking at the world -- as well as good reads.

Tales of Disintegrationnew

David Peace, selected in 1993 as one of Britain's best young novelists by Granta magazine, sets his new novel in the rubble of post-WWII Tokyo. A detective story with a difference, it shows a city that doesn't need crime to destroy it. War is enough.

Ralph Brave, 1953-2007new

To say that Ralph wrote crucial stories, shook the halls of power and touched the lives of many over the course of his long years as a journalist and at SN&R is an understatement.

The Pot Issuenew

The local baddies when it comes to cannabis are the feds, the schools, the governor, bad musicians and the voters who overwhelmingly passed our medical-marijuana law but have not demanded teeth be put into it.

Maybe Some Regrets ...new

The problem with La Vie en Rose isn't that it takes liberties with the facts of Edith Piaf's life. So did she. But the reverence for allegory leads to a film that feels as long as Piaf's life.
