More Sunshine with Joey Arias and Basil Twist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Recently, at the HERE Arts Center, near SoHo, the puppeteer Basil Twist, the performance artist Joey Arias, and six unseen puppeteers (“They’re wearing black velvet, hood on, like ninjas,” Twist said) were rehearsing the grand finale of “Arias with a Twist,” their cabaret fantasia from 2008. To the zingy “You Gotta Pull Strings,” from “The Great Ziegfeld,” puppet chorus girls in feathers and fish-nets exited the stage, a Mylar curtain opened, and Arias—Bettie Page bangs, sheer top, Adidas pants—
Ke Huy Quan Keeps Smiling (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before becoming a child movie star, in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and “The Goonies,” the Oscar-winning actor Ke Huy Quan, born in Vietnam to ethnic-Chinese parents, lived with them and his eight siblings over his father’s plastic-bag factory, in Saigon. He emigrated with his father at age seven, starting with a harrowing boat trip to Hong Kong.

As adapted from George R. R. Martinâs âFire & Bloodâ by Martin and the seriesâ showrunner, Ryan Condal, what
The Sunlit Joylessness of Netflixâs âLittle House on the Prairieâ (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One of Laura Ingalls Wilderâs great gifts as a writer was her ability to reconnect, at age sixty-three and beyond, with her childhood sense of wonder and discovery. For readers of her autobiographical âLittle Houseâ books, it is pleasurable, if head-spinning, to share in the joy she finds in hard work and family camaraderie amid every hardscrabble pioneer situation. She details the âgreat funâ of watching Pa butcher a hog, render its lard, and make a balloon toy out of its bladder. In
