    More Sunshine with Joey Arias and Basil Twist (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    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)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    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.

    Read excerpt

    Since its début, in 2022, “House of the Dragon,” the first and more epic of two current “Game of Thrones” spinoffs, has brought viewers back to Westeros with many of the familiar features of its beloved forebear: Ramin Djawadi’s jolly-sombre cello theme, schemers named Targaryen, the chopping off of body parts, incestuous power couples, dragons incinerating the hapless. As adapted from George R. R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood” by Martin and the series’ showrunner, Ryan Condal, what

    The Sunlit Joylessness of Netflix’s “Little House on the Prairie” (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    One of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s great gifts as a writer was her ability to reconnect, at age sixty-three and beyond, with her childhood sense of wonder and discovery.
