Letters at 3AM

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein offered a metaphor for the modern age, one in which the monster is the unacknowledged dark side of the inventor or creator.

But Burana, who will be at BookPeople on Monday, October 1, at 7pm, is also armed with a good deal of feminist theory, research, and unflinching opinions about the sex-worker trade.

Theatre -- ALL CAPS, All the Time

There's nothing lower-case or lethargic about theatre director, actor, and producer Sharon Sparlin. She's bold, animated, even electric, and channeling all that high-voltage energy into creating equally energetic theatre all the time.

Further Reading

Calle Ancha isn't found on any Austin map, but this "wide street" that once ran from the Colorado River to 12th Street, where I-35 is now, was once a vital avenue for Austin's Latinos, a place where people could shop, families could meet, kids could play, and neighbors and friends in from outlying areas could shoot the breeze.
