 Chad Johannesen Performance ReviewI Want My MTVBelladonna at Theatre XThe Tricklock Company deserves its stellar reputation. In show after show, they’ve gone way beyond the call of duty.

 Book ReviewDirty BlondeThe Diaries of Courtney LoveDirty Blonde: The Diaries of Courtney LoveShe's the lady who took the template of the blond bombshell and knocked her teeth out, put a smoke in her hand and smeared ash on her face—the fearlessly sexual, bombed-out woman in little girl's clothes. Sure, Courtney Love's anti-autobiography is interesting. But is it revealing? As exposed, say, as her uncovered, sweaty breast on a stage before thousands?

 Book ReviewHer Own LifeThe Journals of Joyce Carol Oates, 1973-1982The Journals of Joyce Carol Oates, 1973-1982She has been a famous American starlet, a murderer and a senator. She has also been a lawyer, a religious zealot and a 16-year-old girl. In fact, with more than 1,000 stories and 100 books to her name, Joyce Carol Oates must have created at least 10,000 characters by now—enough to fill a small town. Enter any bookstore and you can spy this place in the distance, twinkling darkly, her other America.
