    In 1873, Mark Twain and his friend, Charles Dudley Warner, were complaining about the sorry state of contemporary literature. So their wives challenged them: If books today are so bad, then write a better one.

  3. Ryan McIlvain's novel 'Elders' goes inside the Mormon faith

    During the 2012 presidential election, Republican candidate Mitt Romney's openness about his Mormon faith brought to the surface many of the generalizations Americans maintain about what it means to be a Mormon. Ryan McIlvain's debut novel "<a href="http://www.randomhouse.com/book/216619/elders-by-ryan-mcilvain">Elders</a>" might serve as a fascinating and lively fictional corrective&nbsp;&mdash; a portrait of what it can mean to be a Mormon missionary &mdash; complete with all the doubts, hesitations and temptations that come with the territory.

  4. SXSW 2013: Selena Gomez says 'Spring Breakers' was 'liberating'

    AUSTIN, Texas -- Among the most anticipated moments of the South by Southwest film festival was the U.S. premiere of &ldquo;Spring Breakers.&rdquo; Directed by provocateur Harmony Korine, the movie is a sun-soaked, head-spinning look at four college girls who fund their spring-break trip with a crime spree. The film has a good-girls-go-bad angle with young actresses Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson, along with the director&rsquo;s wife, Rachel Korine, playing the girls -- as well as&nbsp;a wild performance by James Franco as a rapper/gangster named Alien.

  5. The Mark Twain House Celebrates the Gilded Age of Hartford

    Before the devastating effects of the Great Depression, the country lounged in the perceived luxury of the Gilded Age. Economic growth after the Civil War attracted millions of immigrants to the country, where industries like railroads and manufacturing hit levels of success never before attained. This success, however, only masked societal issues which were pervasive in the burgeoning nation. Hartford's Mark Twain House in Hartford will open a new exhibit, <em>The Gilded Age of Hartford</em> (Twain came up with the phrase "Gilded Age" to describe this interesting era of American history), which looks back at the life and experiences of people and things existing in the Capitol City during the era.

  11. Property of the Week: 4 Mohawk Drive

    <strong></strong>Built in 1931, the exterior of this stately Georgian home in West Hartford recalls the dignity and formality of a past era. The home was featured on the Mark Twain Holiday House Tour last December. Inside, an extensive renovation has turned the three-story, 13-room residence into an elegant but comfortable space meant for children, family gatherings and entertaining.
