California State

Genre: Literary & General Fiction / Short Story Collections. A gritty collection that casts its net over the downtrodden, addled, and alcohol-infused world of masculinity. “Caroline says my tattoos disgust her. It’s possible she used the word loathsome,’ but that may have been a different conversation about my smoking habit. Caroline regularly describes my appearance and behavior as grotesque, hideous, thuggish, unrefined, brutish, and typically American.”

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

The Darkness Behind the Beloved Kennedys

Each month in our FYI Digital Magazine, I write a column focusing on local authors and recent releases. Here is a look at some books with a local flavour coming your way. Leonard Cohen: The Man Who Saw the Angels Fall, by author Christophe Lebold from ECW Press, follows the singer’s cosmopolitan life from Montreal and New York to the Greek island of Hydra and examines his perpetual dialogues with himself, God, and avalanches. We see how six decades of radiant pessimism and a few thousand nights in hotel rooms transformed a young Jewish poet who longed to be a saint into an existentialist troubadour in love with women and a gravelly voiced crooner who taught a thousand ways of dissolving into love. After more than two decades of research and travels, Lebold, who befriended the poet and spent time with him in Los Angeles, is said to be delivering a stimulating analysis of Cohen’s life and art. Gracefully blending biography and essay, he interrogates the mission Cohen set out for himself: to show us that darkness is just the flip side of light. It will be out on Sept. 3.

The Resurrection: Decoding Dante's Lost Canto by D. Allen Henry. As anyone who has read the Divine Comedy will attest, there were people Italian poet Dante Alighieri liked and those he didn’t like. The former populate his Purgatorio and Paradisio, while the latter — well, let’s just say they are punished, often spectacularly, in his Inferno. His strong views didn’t end there. In fact, Dante’s religiopolitical ties got him kicked out of Florence permanently.
