L column celebrating swag — those freebies that every magazine receives AST MONTH I WROTE A

from companies across the country. I promised that my inability to accept swag (due to journalism ethics) would be your gain — and now I am staying true to my word. With Christmas shopping season in full swing, I’ve decided it’s time to give away $135 worth of toys that have been sitting under my desk collecting dust since I got from a hopeful public relations rep. There are four toys in total: Dragons Universe — Ultimate Dragon Destroyer (ages 6+, $50 value), Pull Along Musical Pirate Ship (ages 1+, $30 value), Thomas & Friends Adventures on Misty Island (ages 3+, $50 value) and Color Blanks, a kind of teddy bear figurine that you can draw faces

on (ages 6+, $5 value). I’ve debated the fairest way to distribute these goodies and decided to once again ask readers to e-mail this week and tell me why they should be the one to get them. While it’s true that a drawing would make the process totally random (so no one could accuse me of bias), it’s so much more fun to hear from people directly. I’ll choose someone on Wednesday, Dec. 15, so please get in touch before then if you’d like to be considered. On another note, I want to stress to all Cache Valley writers that I am always looking for submissions to post in the Bulletin Board section of this magazine. Resident poet Bill Humphrey is great about supplying me with material, but lately I haven’t heard from many other people. If you have something you’d like to see in print, feel free to e-mail it to me. Have a good week, everyone!

Explore astronomy at stargazer meeting THE CACHE VALLEY

Stargazers will meet at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 10, in Utah State University’s Science-Engineering-Research (SER) Building Room 244. Free parking is available in the lot adjacent to SER, behind the Performance Hall. The meeting will feature equipment and a gadget showcase by members of the Cache Valley Stargazers Astronomy is a hobby that is often filled with gadgets and observing aids, all geared toward making the few precious hours we spend under

the night sky more enjoyable. The marketplace is full of a dizzying array of books,

gadgets and equipment. Many amateur astronomers are also industrious and build their own

astrogadgets in their garages and kitchens or repurpose an ordinary household item for use in astronomy. This month, join the members of the Cache Valley Stargazers as they share and showcase astronomy equipment they have bought, built or inherited. Learn about the tricks and methods that we have discovered to make astronomy easier and fun. How can you make your own red flashlight? How do we stay warm in November? What’s the best pair of binoculars to use to see Jupiter? Join

us to see what kinds of gadgets are out there that might help you make your own time under the night sky be a more enjoyable experience! The Cache Valley Stargazers are happy to welcome anyone with an interest in astronomy to join us for our regular monthly meetings. Get that dusty telescope out of the closet or the binoculars out from under the carseat and join the fun!

(Friday, Dec. 10)

sing four octaves of English handbells and three octaves of chimes, the 22 members of the Westminster Bell Choirs will fill the Tabernacle with the sounds of familiar Christmas hymns and carols. The two choirs will use a variety of techniques to enliven such sacred and secular favorites as “How Great Our Joy,” “Silent Night,” and “Over the River and Through the Woods.” The concert will also include bell quartets and talented friends of the bell choirs. Both choirs are interfaith groups sponsored by Logan’s First Presbyterian Church.

Handel’s Christmas Messiah (Saturday, Dec. 11)

onductor and Utah State University audiology professor John Ribera brings the timeless masterpiece to the Tabernacle for the final time. Ribera has been conducting since grade school years and says it brings him great satisfaction to work with an ensemble and present a concert of inspirational music. “Certainly George F. Handel’s ‘Messiah’ falls into the category of a timehonored uplifting choral masterpiece,” he said. For several years, Ribera has led a performance of the Messiah during the spring known as the Multicultural Messiah. One of the choruses was sung in Spanish and the concert includes theatrical interpreters for the deaf. “We (my wife, Ann, and sons, Jonathan, James and Joseph) have been doing these productions for over 8 years and

have truly been blessed to rub shoulders with some of the area’s finest citizens,” he continued. “The past couple of years we have changed venue to the Tabernacle and time of year to the end of year holiday season. This year we will have a choir of volunteers from throughout the community (Cache Valley and beyond), and a very talented orchestra.”

Also on the schedule: the annual community food pantry benefit concert, Dec. 12

Film Still playing “Love and Other Drugs” Rated R ★★ “Love & Other Drugs” — Despite its dramatic pretenses and far racier sex scenes than the typical studio romance, Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway’s latest is as predictable and sappy as any other run-of-the-mill Hollywood love story. Gyllenhaal and Hathaway, who co-starred as an unhappily married couple in “Brokeback Mountain,” this time play the bumpy romance between a hotshot pharmaceutical salesman and a woman with early onset Parkinson’s disease. Co-written by director Edward Zwick, the screenplay shoves the two together awkwardly

— and keeps them coming back together even more awkwardly — undermining the genuine sense of affection and passion the stars manage. But awkwardness seems to have been there from the start in adapting Jamie Reidy’s book “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman,” which was not a romance at all. While Gyllenhaal’s character is inspired by Reidy, Hathaway’s is a complete fabrication — a love interest dreamed up so the filmmakers could have a love interest. R for strong sexual content, nudity, pervasive language and some drug content. 112 minutes. “Faster” Rated R ★ “Faster” — Recent films of revved-up adrenaline

are like movies on steroids, and cause some of the same side effects: nausea, stunted growth and probably some liver damage. George Tillman Jr.’s film begins with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s character literally sprinting out of jail, released in a seething rage from a 10-year prison sentence. The movie is in such a hurry that it doesn’t bother to slow down for proper names, instead referring to its main characters as archetypes: Johnson is “Driver,” Billy Bob Thornton is “Cop” and newcomer Oliver Jackson-Cohen is “Killer.” Driver has a list of people to kill in revenge of an ambush that put him in jail and ended the life of his brother. After dabbling

in comedy and kids films, Johnson has returned to macho action, like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s prodigal son. Johnson has the muscle for muscle-head movies but — a gifted mugger — he’s better dressed up as the Tooth Fairy or hosting “Saturday Night Live.” His inner goofball should win out. R for violence, some drug use and language. 98 minutes. “The Next Three Days” Rated PG-13 ★★ “The Next Three Days” — The main dynamic you have to accept — the one that the entire story, all the drama, all the risk hinge upon — is that Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks actually belong

together. Always strong individually, they make no sense as a couple. Chalk it up to miscasting, a lack of chemistry, whatever: It’s simply too hard to buy them as husband and wife. And that’s a problem, since it undermines our ability to become immersed in the danger in which they find themselves. As a result, Paul Haggis’ thriller, based on the 2008 French film “Anything for Her,” ends up feeling even more implausible than it might have. A couple of exciting chase sequences and intense moments, as well as one great scene involving Liam Neeson, unfortunately can’t salvage the endeavor. The latest movie from the Oscar-winning “Crash”

director finds Banks’ Lara Brennan being charged and convicted of killing her boss in a Pittsburgh parking garage. Once all of Lara’s appeals have run out and she’s on the verge of being transferred to a state penitentiary, her husband, John, hatches a scheme to break her out of the joint. John, mind you, is a mild-mannered community college English professor who already has his hands full caring for the couple’s 6-yearold son, Luke (Ty Simpkins), alone. PG-13 for violence, drug material, language, some sexuality and thematic elements. 122 minutes. — All reviews by The Associated Press

HERE ARE spy thrillers that are packed with action â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bourneâ&#x20AC;? movies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and then there are spy thrillers that always have the threat of action, but never reach the precipice of what couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been â&#x20AC;&#x201C; think â&#x20AC;&#x153;The American.â&#x20AC;? Each of these types of spy movies have their advantages. The action-packed ones get us through the movie with flashy explosions while our brains are in the off position. Spy movies light on action rely on their cloak and dagger tricks and character development to get by. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Touristâ&#x20AC;? is a strange mix of both these kinds of espionage thrillers, which doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really work at all. Elise (Angelina Jolie) is a spy. Well, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we think she is anyway. She walks casually down crowded European streets knowing sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being followed by government agents. She sits coolly at an outside cafĂŠ table, receives a mysterious note from a courier. Men in vans watch her through cameras and computer screens. What is the note? What does it say? The note is read aloud to us from a narrator in a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice, which I guess is supposed to throw us off (youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see what I mean). The note instructs her to burn it, which she does. The agents rush in, but not in time to save the note. Elise follows instructions from the note and boards a certain train headed into the heart of Europe. Most of the beginning is spent

watching Jolie saunter around in her high heels as her hips wag from side to side. Good, I suspect if they were putting on a runway show, not so good if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to build suspense for a mysterious cloak and dagger thriller. She sits next to Frank (Johnny Depp) on the train and strikes up an aloof conversation with him. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never direct, but maybe sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flirting with him. Who knows? Frank is a math teacher from Wisconsin, he reads spy novels. Now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s met a mystifying, beautiful woman on a train in the middle of Europe. Things like this just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t happen to a guy like Frank. It seems, though, that being around Elise has caused Frank to be mistaken for a man who is wanted in 14 countries. Who is she? Scotland Yard, Interpol, and a gang of Russian gangsters are after Frank now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Touristâ&#x20AC;? is con-

fused. It isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t smart enough to play the artsy card, and it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t dumb enough to play the popcorn-movie card. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stuck somewhere in espionage movie limbo as an odd hybrid of a rom-com spy thriller. An earlier film from this summer, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Knight and Day,â&#x20AC;? did it a whole lot better. It was zany, fun, and Tom Cruise was exciting. Jolie is as sexy as ever, but her character is dumbed down, and the dialogue sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s given

is supposed to be subtle and sexual, but just comes across as lazy. Depp has never looked more bored in a role. Like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just standing there, waiting for something to happen and then we realize weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just like him. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re waiting for something to happen. Anything. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re wait-

ing for the plot to reveal something that made all of it worth it. When the reveal comes, you might find yourself in my position. Yup, I called that â&#x20AC;&#x153;twistâ&#x20AC;? a mile away, and so will most everyone else. Film critic Aaron Peck has a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree

‘This is my passion’ Artist Chris Garr captures beauty in glass

Glass pieces by stained glass artist Chris Garr.

o say Chris Garr is a woman of many talents would be an understatement. From painting to kiln work to stained glass, Garr can do it all. “I was painting and my husband (Jay) actually carves eggs,” Garr said. “When he gets finished with an egg carving, I make a stained glass stand for it and we make it into a light so that the light shows through the stand and the egg, as well. So, we both have just been kind of interested in everything like that.” The thing Garr enjoys most, however, is stained glass. “This is my passion,” Garr said. A passion that began 20 years ago or so. “My husband started doing glass engraving and we discovered the engravings looked better on colored glass,” said Garr, when asked what piqued her interest about working with stained glass. “I really liked working with the colored glass, so I started working in glass mosaic and then that just evolved. It was all an evolution of starting with one thing and ending up doing another. “I started learning to cut it more precisely and decided I needed to learn how to solder, so then I started doing the soldering and stuff, as well.” Now, Garr’s home in Logan is a reflection of her artwork, as well as her husband’s. Garr has been teaching others how

to make stained glass for the past 11 years. “I started teaching over in Brigham in their adult education, and then I taught at Logan High School in their adult education program in the evenings, but I had to take all my equipment and bring it back — go back and forth,” Garr said. “I was a hair dresser for 30 years and this used to be a beauty salon back here. When I decided that I wanted to quit doing hair and do glass more full time, then I built my stations and stuff for six students. At the high school, I had to do 12 or more and not everybody gets enough attention that way.” Garr enjoys the convenience of teaching out of her home. “My stuff is right here,” she said. “A lot of my students have been with me; I’ve got several students that have been with me since I taught at the high school, and still come to my classes. So, it’s been over 10 years that some of them have been working with me. “And, they get more one-on-one attention. They really help me to push the envelope because they’ll come up with some things and I’ll go, ‘I guess that’s possible. Let’s try it and see if it will work’ — things that I probably would’ve never done because it’s an interest that they have.” Garr teaches two nights a week, usually on Mondays and Tuesdays. The course she teaches lasts six weeks and it’s three hours each session. Garr, who is the show director for

the Cache Valley Cruise-In, does sell her work. “I do some commission pieces,” she said. “I do one or so art shows every couple of years. I don’t do them consistently because you have to have a lot of product and moving glass around isn’t as easy as moving oil paintings or something like that around. “I have a small inventory of glass that I sell for my students, but there’s probably 10,000 colors and pieces and types of glass. So, if they want to do something more intricate, they have to go to Ogden or Salt Lake to pick up glass. But, we do basic stuff here.” Does Garr have a favorite piece of stained glass she’s worked on? “The most favorite piece I think I’ve ever done was for a gal in Las Vegas and it was two side lights on either side of her door,” Garr said. “She wanted the beach, she wanted palm trees, she wanted dolphins, so that’s what I did with a beach scene for both sides of her door.” The satisfaction Garr gains once she finishes a piece of work is priceless. “Glass has such a wonderful reflective value to it with the different colors and stuff like that, and the different times of the day whether the light is shining through it or whatever, it just changes throughout the day,” Garr said. “At the end, you’ve accomplished this really pretty piece of art.”

What’s Nice? Slightly T Off Center HANKS TO THE INTERNET, we all have easy access to all the HD naughty that bandwidth can stuff down the Internet chimney; what counts as nice is a little harder to define even if you do check your list twice. It’s a little perverted that he knows when you’re sleeping and when you’re awake but obviously not much gets by Santa’s judgment. Santa’s claws are definitely coming to town, so be good for goodness’ sake. No, be good because it’s the right thing to do. But really? Trying to make it through a week much less a Christmas season takes so much effort. Giving money, food and volunteer time are quantifiable but just being nicer than naughty on a daily basis is harder to measure. Here are a few exercises to help you increase your quantity of nice.

1. Think twice, speak or write once. If there is anything worthwhile to be learned from the WikiLeaks fiasco it is that the electronic written word stays around forever and can’t be hidden. Whether it is some hackers on the other side of the world or an exfriend who decides to hit the forward button on their e-mail, what you write will follow you forever. So learn a lesson and try to be nice to begin with and save your snarky remarks for faceto-face conversations. 2. Tell your inner voice to shut up. Realize that what you call intuition is generally a petulant, needy little brat who still wants a pony and the last piece of cake. Speaking your mind and deciding on an impulse rarely ends well. Stop, pause, do research, consider… that’s how we got to the moon and back. 3. Take 30 minutes a week to wallow in shame and regret, then move on. The self-esteem movement and power of positive thinking have given us a false impression of ourselves. You don’t really need to share your shame and regret with the world or even your spouse but you do need to get in touch with your inner guilt and failure if you want to be a nicer person. I personally have whole decades that rival the Dark Ages for un-accomplishment.

“Who Is This Man?” by Doug Blaser A man....who is on our minds, especially during this time of year, A man....whose reputation is known world-wide as a kind and giving person, A man....with long hair that hangs over his collar, A man....who is constantly recruiting helpers to assist him with his good works, A man....whose charity is unparalleled, whose love is boundless, whose name just mentioned gives eternal hope to all who hear it, 4. Be kind to those in sales. This is the hardest one for me. Waiting in traffic, checkout lines and circling parking lots is all the price we pay for an economy solely measured by sales figures. Until some distant imagined future changes this, we might as well be civil to the lowliest on the economic food chain. 5. Say “thank you” (sincerely) 10 times a day. Thank you goes a long, long way. It is so simple that we often forget it. We all do mind-numbing repetitive stuff and in many cases even get paid for it, but that doesn’t mean we don’t like to hear an occasional thanks. Pick some hard ones to thank such as cops, city hall and anyone who works for the tax commission. If you get to the end of the day and haven’t made your quota, thank your preferred deity that you are alive. Then thank the utility company that you have water, heat and electricity. Be especially thankful for outward-bound plumbing. Can you imagine the chaos it would cause if everyone wrote “thanks” on their utility bill checks? If you are really stumped at the end of the day just thank the universe that I never had children. Dennis Hinkamp would like to wish you a Merry ChisHannaHoliMas. Give feedback at dhinkamp@msn. com.

A man....whose spirit we are encouraged to carry within us throughout the year, A man....whose ultimate gift is priceless, timeless and yet promised gladly to all who are believers, A man....who when you get close to him....his arms will encircle you in love, as he ever so patiently listens to the desires of your heart, A man....who encourages us all, even adults, to become as little children.

“Don’t Tell Me” by William Humphrey Don’t tell me you don’t want to see me no more, you’re leaving the house, you’re locking the door. I’ll miss you, my darling, if you go away, tell me the problem, you can have things your way. I’ll love you forever, whatever you do, give me one chance, let me come back to you. Don’t tell me you don’t want to see me no more, you’re leaving my whole world so insecure. I love you, my darling, I always will, just give me a chance, is my last appeal. Don’t tell me you don’t want to see me no more, I’m crying as I lie here on the floor. Just thinking of you is breaking my heart, give me a chance darling, we’ll never part. I’ll love you forever, whatever you do, if only you promise that you’ll love me, too.

Pair of beloved Christmas plays in Box Elder Co.

‘A Christmas Carol’

he Old Barn Community Theatre presents “A Christmas Carol” playing through Dec. 18, at 7:30 p.m. every Monday, Friday and Saturday. Matinees at 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 11 and Dec. 18. Tickets are $8 for adults and $7 for children and seniors. Family ticket packages are now available for performances on Dec. 3, 4 and 6. Family packages are $25 for up to 6 family members. The Old Barn Community Theatre is located at 3605 Bigler Road, Collinston, in Box Elder County. For more information, go to www.oldbarn.org.

The classic story by Charles Dickens features miserly Ebenezer Scrooge and the poor, crippled but happy Tiny Tim whose sentiment “God bless us every one” rings out as the final message of the story. Other characters include Fred, Scrooge’s happy-go-lucky nephew; Marley’s ghost and the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, who show Scrooge where his life choices are taking him. Set in 19th century England, “A Christmas Carol” has been a favorite since Dickens wrote it in 1843. The tale provides a taste of Christmases of yore.

Stokes hosts talk on religion, environment

HE STOKES NATURE Center invites adults to “Religion and the Environment: Finding Common Ground in Utah,” at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 10, at Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread, 300 S. 300 West. George Handley, professor of humanities at Brigham Young University, hosts a conversation about environmental stewardship and its relationship with a variety of religious beliefs, especially Mormonism. It will focus specifically on how religious teachings can help Utahns find a shared cooperative model for solv-

ing our contemporary environmental problems. This program is free. Registration is required. Call 755-3239 or e-mail nature@logannature.org. This is a Utah Public Square Program of the Utah Humanities Council, organized by Stokes Nature Center and Crumb Brothers Artisan Bread. About the speaker: George Handley has taught humanities and comparative literature at BYU for the last nine years. Over that time, he has focused his research and teaching on the relationship between culture

(most specifically religion, literature, art, and philosophy) and its relationship to the natural world. He has written extensively about poetry and nature and has written several essays and is the co-editor of a book, “Stewardship and the Creation: LDS Perspectives on the Environment,” that seek to establish a dialogue between Mormonism and the growing interest among world religions in environmental stewardship. An advocate of nature appreciation and conservation, he lives in Provo.

Best picks for Rieslings

HE HOLIDAY SEASON continues and will not be finished until the New Year begins. Following my own recommendations we had the 2005 Argyle Brut Sparkling wine at $24.99 from Oregon on Thanksgiving with roast turkey and all of the trimmings. I was impressed with the full creamy flavor of this sparkling wine. We also had the NV Perrier Jouet Brut Champagne. I found the Perrier Jouet to have more subtle flavors. Both of these wines are highly rated, but only the Argyle is available in Logan, and it is the only vintage sparkling wine in the store. The 2006 and 2007 vintages of the Argyle are excellent, too. On the new list of 100 top wines for 2010 from the Wine Spectator is the NV Mumm Napa Brut Prestige at $17.99. All three of these wines are a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, and made by the Champagne method. Briefly, this method consists of a double fermentation. The first fermentation is done in large vats and then the wine is bottled with more sugar and yeast. The wine is aged for up to 18 months after the second fermentation with careful rotation to settle out the yeast and residue. The neck of the bottle is frozen and the plug is discharged. A small amount of sugar or brandy is added to replace the plug and the bottle is capped and finished. Only sparkling wines made in the Champagne region of France can be called Champagne. More important is the method. I should not forget the beautifully colored NV Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noir Sparkling wine at $17.99. This wine is made from Pinot Noir grapes and has more berry flavor than the other three wines above. For bargain hunters, many of the Korbel sparkling wines are reduced in price to $10.49. Although I have not tasted these wines for several years, the Wine Spectator rates the NV Korbel California Brut Sparkling wine at 88. There is a better selection of high quality sparkling wines in the Logan store than for any other type of wine. There is no better way to begin a dinner party than with a round of sparkling wine. I have been recommending the

Cache Wines By William Moore

2007 Trimbach Riesling at $17.48 from Alsace off and on for several months. Saturday, we had a bottle with roast chicken and a delicious potato salad. Now, the 2008 Trimbach Riesling still at $17.48 is one of the top 100 wines for 2010. This is a bold dry Riesling and a perfect partner for a roast turkey or chicken dinner. I am still enamored with the Australian Riesling and recently had the 2009 Pewsey Vale Eden Valley Riesling at $13.99 with crab cakes. Along with the 2009 Jacobs Creek Riesling at $12.99, these Rieslings are great with fish or seafood. Their flavors are more subtle than the Alsatian Rieslings, but just as dry. For different styles there are several Rieslings from Germany, New York and California. Some of these are low in alcohol and often sweeter than what I like in a wine. I have recommended the dry Rieslings with about 12 percent alcohol content. There a few more wines from the top 100 list that we have in the Logan store. One that I have recommended successive vintages for several years is the 2008 d’Arenberg Stump Jump Red at $9.99. This is a blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre grapes that is smooth and easy to drink. I first discovered this wine on a mountain bike trip to Southern Utah in 1988, and drank a glass almost every evening.

Recommended F 2005 Argyle Brut at

$24.99 F NV Mumm Napa Brut Prestige at $17.99 F NV Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noir at $17.99 F NV Korbel California Brut at $10.49 F 2008 Trimbach Riesling at $17.48 F 2009 Pewsey Vale Eden Valley Riesling at $13.99 F 2009 Jacobs Creek Riesling at $12.99 F 2008 d’Arenberg Stump Jump Red at $9.99 F 2008 A to Z Pinot Noir at $18.99 F 2007 Columbia Crest H3 Merlot at $14.99

Another wine from Oregon that made the list is the 2008 A to Z Pinot Noir at $18.99. While making a wine that rates 90 or above takes some skill from the winemaker, producing such a wine in quantity is in another class. Most of the top wines are produced in quantities of 400 to 4000 cases. The A to Z production was 60,000 cases. I call that an amazing feat. Finally a wine I have not tasted is the 2007 Columbia Crest H3 Merlot at $14.99. There is also a Columbia Crest Grand Estates Merlot. This wine is on the DABC list so you should be able to get it. Here is another winemaker that can produce a wine rated 91 and make 30,000 cases at a reasonable price. Remembering to limit your consumption of alcoholic beverages can be difficult during the holidays. I keep a mental tab on my beverage consumption. If necessary make a mark on your hand for every drink consumed. Be safe and have a great joyous holiday season.

The game is afoot in ‘The Sherlockian’ By The Associated Press

N 1893, ARTHUR Conan Doyle writes what he thinks will be his last Sherlock Holmes story, killing off the iconic character at Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland. Several years later, Conan Doyle receives a crude and anonymously sent letter bomb, which impels him to investigate a real mystery, with help from his friend Bram Stoker and his own literary creation to guide him. The details of his investigation are dutifully recorded in his journal, which later disappears. In 2010, Harold White has

just been inducted into the Baker Street Irregulars, an elite literary club devoted to Holmesian pursuits, when the world’s leading Conan Doyle scholar claims to have found the missing journal. But then the scholar is found dead, and there is no trace of the diary. Harold begins searching for clues to lead him to both the murderer and the journal. The game is newly afoot: What Would Sherlock Holmes Do? The tales of Conan Doyle and White, told in alternating chapters, make up “The Sherlockian,” Graham Moore’s entertaining debut novel. Both mysteries are well crafted, with

gratifying and amusing nods toward the conflation of Conan Doyle and his literary creation. Just as Conan Doyle chafes at being unable to escape from under Holmes’ shadow, Harold’s Irregular colleagues scoff at his practical application of Holmes’ powers of deduction (even as they devise Holmesian plots of their own). The parallel story format will not suit everyone, as the abrupt shifts between time periods and stories can be extremely jarring, even as they complement each other quite well. The Conan Doyle-centric chapters start off a bit stilted, the 19thcentury prose reads as though

it’s a little forced, though they even out considerably as that mystery deepens. However, these slight annoyances are rendered nearly insignificant by Moore’s exemplary weaving of historical fact and fiction. Though the novel is packed with references to the Holmes canon, from the universally recognized “Elementary!” to more obscure academic tidbits, it is not at all necessary to have an encyclopedic knowledge of those stories. This is a novel clearly written with great affection, not just for Conan Doyle, but his 21st-century fans as well.

‘Old New York’ a fascinating look at high society By The Associated Press

CHRONICLER OF of New York’s high society in more than 60 novels, short story collections and nonfiction works, Louis Auchincloss concluded his career with a slim memoir. “A Voice From Old New York” addresses his own youth among the city’s richest and most connected residents with the same detached amusement and keen observations of his previous work. His voice remains both charmingly and disarmingly familiar — but elegant and easy to read. The quick disdain that one expects from a writer steeped in and fascinated by wealth and privilege is certainly here, as when Auchincloss dismisses

modern collegians with a wave minded women often faced in avoid or even deny, including long-lived Brooke Astor, a longacross his keyboard: “It was a the mid-twentieth century, when depression (his father’s), alcohol- time friend, give her more appeal pity that none of my students in Auchincloss was in his prime. ism (among family friends) and and warmth than almost any the three years I taught at NYU He is equally forthright about boorishness (everywhere).
