From The New York Times: Bochco in the wilderness: the man who was the David E. Kelley of his day (mind you, even David E. Kelley isn't the David E. Kelley of his day anymore, is he?) sees his two new TV ideas come a-cropper. Good thing he wrote that novel. (Note: Free registration required.)

 

From The Times Literary Supplement: A review of four new books about Samuel Beckett, including most notably, How It Was , by his close friend Anne Atik: "Throughout this fascinating memoir, Beckett is profoundly human, capable of weeping at the Lord’s Prayer and slipping into closed silence when his feelings ran too deep to express; his learning worn lightly, yet an intrinsic part of the man."
