		<description><![CDATA[Two-thirds of the way into his memoir, Daniel Lanois describes his approach in recording Bob Dylan’s album Time Out of Mind: “I wanted the shadows to hold hidden secrets, for the details to pique the curiosity of a viewer … I wanted the sunlight in the portrait to outlive us all, and be blazing with premonition, hope and redemption.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Midtown Manhattan is almost afloat, battered by a near-monsoon. Sheets of rain drench anyone foolhardy enough to cross 8th Avenue, but when Salman Rushdie saunters into the Wylie Agency, umbrella in hand, there’s nary a droplet to be seen on his pinstriped suit.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Two-thirds of the way through his sprawling autobiography, Keith Richards pauses for a rare moment of introspection. “Image is like a long shadow,” he offers. “It’s impossible not to end up being a parody of what you thought you were.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The title of Tom McCarthy's new novel, <i>C</i>, stands for seemingly countless things: the surname of protagonist Serge Carrefax; the caul that he is born with in 1898; the copper wire that transmits the wireless signals he sends; the cocaine he ingests in the Royal Air Force in the First World War; the crypt near Cairo where he finds himself towards the end of the novel in 1922; as well as communication, circuits, carbon, curves …

		<description><![CDATA[Most authors’ tours involve repetitive rounds of readings, interviews and book signings, but when William Gibson goes on the road — as he’s currently doing for his new novel, Zero History — his experience is somewhat different. Obsessive fans present gadgets to be autographed (motherboards, the backs of laptops, BlackBerrys, etc.), and just about everyone asks him to predict the future.

		<description><![CDATA[Ken Finkleman walks warily into the French café that he’s chosen for our interview about his debut novel, <em>Noah’s Turn</em>. Offered a handshake, he responds with a cagey fist-bump. The photographer asks to take him across the street for a portrait, where he can get good lighting. Finkleman shakes his head. “That’s not going to work. I know the shot I want.” After a terse exchange, he gets his way.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Driven to Distraction In order to write his satirical new novel, Super Sad True Love Story, Gary Shteyngart needed to learn about social networks. His research was, perhaps, too successful. &#34;This book destroyed my life,&#34; says the Manhattan-based author by phone from his home. &#34;It&#8217;s like somebody [who] says, &#8216;I&#8217;m going to write a book [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In a remote corner of the Royal Ontario Museum stands a three-foot wooden carving of an unnamed Shinto goddess from the 11th or 12th century. Her arms are folded in her elegant gown, her eyes hooded, her half-smile enigmatic. The idols beside her are larger, more extravagantly carved. Nonetheless, she draws you in.]]></description>
