Playwright Jon Robin Baitz has crafted an engaging an entertaining dramatic work with his play, OTHER DESERT CITIES. This isn't your typical 'coming home for the holidays' type of story, and the emotional toll that it takes on its characters resonates. The fact is, the details of the plot would probably ring true for any number of families who have had their life revealed in print by one or more of their offspring. It's the kind of tale that requires an excellent ensemble to truly bring it to life, and happily, the Repertory Theatre of St. Louis has assembled a superb one.

Adding to the excitement was the abundance of authors, numbering more than 100. Many of them were on hand Thursday evening to sign books, something I'd grown blasé about--until I walked into the hotel ballroom. I gasped, grabbed the nearest arm and exclaimed, 'Look! It's Cynthia Bond!' I sidled over to her table as casually as I could, but then started to gush like a tween at a One Direction concert. Her novel Ruby (to be published by Hogarth in April), the 'unforgettable story of a man determined to protect the woman he loves from the town desperate to destroy her,' is one of the most stunning books I've read this year--order it now in advance from your indie bookstore.
