Set us as preferred One thing is obvious upon reading Sylvester Stallone’s memoir “The Steps”: He’s no nepo baby. No one ever gave him a leg up, or pulled favors on his behalf. This breezy and insightful book, which takes the movie icon from the slums of New York to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, triumphant on Oscar night, is a sobering reminder of just how far Sta

And if so, how do we begin to tease out meaning from that story? Valeria Luiselli posits these questions in her new book, “Beginning Middle End,” but mercifully she doesn’t weigh down her fiction with pedantry.

The animal kingdom has followed suit.
