  |  Culture ShockAmyYep, it's true. I'm leaving the Alibi. (Actually, by the time you read this I'll already be gone.) I did all my major blubbering in last week's issue, and I'm not going to go there again. But you should know that while they're searching for a replacement for the arts and books part of my job, Amy Dalness will be filling in. Luckily, she's already the calendars editor, so arts releases are (hopefully) already going to her. If you need to contact her about editorial coverage in this section, call 346-0660 ext. 255, or e-mail her at amy@alibi.com.
 Book ReviewSabe Wabi Sabi?Sumita Lim’s Japanese StyleJapanese StyleIt’s no accident that many of the photographs of homes and gardens in Japanese Style were taken in Santa Fe. Not only is the City Different where journalist and author Sunamita Lim makes her home, its adobe architecture offers the perfect backdrop for the beauty in simplicity the book advocates.
 Author InterviewWar Has Bad MannersAlice Walker's latest work opens children's eyes to the realities of warWhen Alice Walker pitched her idea for a politically charged children's book to Random House, the publisher turned her down.
 Author InterviewA Fairly Stupid TaleJon Scieszka speaks 6-year-old better than youKids are the perfect audience to Jon Scieszka. They are ripe to explore the world, go along with a story (no matter how unlikely) and demolish the status quo by laughing wildly at end pages placed in the middle of the book. Any adult smart enough to get Jon's jokes is welcome to join the revelry, just don't expect a life lesson on every page. Scieszka, with some help from illustrator Lane Smith, is the author of the life-changing children's book The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales as well as other award-winning yarns based somewhere between absurd and genius. Scieszka is touring in support of the duo's latest release, Cowboy and Octopus, a tale of two unlikely friends doing what friends do best. Before heading out West, he took some time out of his stinky day to talk with the Alibi.
