The Big Show

The aesthetic at Girasole speaks to the food fashion of our age, according to Chronicle writer Rachel Feit. It is studied, indeed, almost market-researched in its appropriateness.

All Creatures Great and Small

With the current state of the environment, long belabored by activists and scientists who point to any number of warning signs of planetary collapse, it makes sense, Chronicle contributor Dan Oko writes, that writers with deep green inclinations would juggle literary aesthetics and scientific data in their efforts to jar us from the stupefying impact of too much information and too much bad news.

"...a stumbling block when it comes to finding true happiness, which we learn about primarily through e-mails to her..."

Virgin Fiction

First-time publication is like a cotillion for writers, Martin Wilson writes as he reviews five new first novels. And debut novelists are the gussied-up belles at the ball, with butterflies in their stomachs, dreaming of the glorious future that awaits them.

Putting Himself 'Out Here'

Theatre Arts and English teacher Rick Garcia has put himself "out here," on Austin's fringes, n the off-the-map, lost-worldness of Johnston High School, to reach out to some of the poorest kids in one of Austin's most neglected neighborhoods and make a difference through that rare and vital cocktail: art and education.

A Name for a Ghost to Mutter

In her new script A Name for a Ghost to Mutter, playwright Cyndi Williams uses the fuel for great drama: colorful writing, focus on relationships, big climax, tidy resolution. But while all the hard parts are accounted for, all the right moves taken, the play stops just short of smoking.

"...Toner. Lala appears to B. as a promise of happiness. They meet in a 1940s martini bar on her..."

We spoke with him about the film's grueling shoot, the refinement it makes to the martial arts genre, and more.
