Do you remember the exact moment your childhood ended, when you moved from innocence to adult sensibilities? Canadian playwright Morris Panych does, and his play "Girl in the Goldfish Bowl" marks this wistful occasion with eccentric humor and unguarded honesty. As demonstrated in Studio Theatre's dotty staging of "Vigil" a few seasons back, Mr. Panych combines a dastardly sense of humor with bighearted insights into life's most troubling passages. "Vigil" centered on aging relatives and the inconstancy of memory, while "Girl in the Goldfish Bowl" deals with an unhappy marriage as glimpsed through the eyes of the 10-year-old daughter who already has seen too much.

It's a kinder, gentler, more politically correct animal world out there. Rabbits are no longer relegated to outdoor hutches. Dogs aren't chained to doghouses. And goldfish don't belong in fishbowls.
He also published, through Bantam Books, four volumes of "Editors' Choice," selections of short fiction chosen by America's top magazine editors. He did the same thing for poets in "The Poets' Choice," which "sold like crazy," he said. Through his own imprint, Wampeter Press, he published "Matters of Life and Death," a collection of American short stories edited by Tobias Wolff. "It was a hot book," recalled George, and soon circulated as a textbook. Esquire magazine called Wampeter one of the best small presses in the country. George is still writing: His Spaulding Gray-like monologue "Electra" was a feature of the first Key West Theatre Festival and last year (with co-author Reva Spawn) he completed a screenplay, "White Gold." He continues to be a practicing poet. His first collection...

Wong Kar Wai's adventures in Cinemascope, now a largety abandoned format, began with 2004's 2046; by then he had already proven himself capable of reaching baked-Alaska heights of visual force with a body of films (and actors) known for their bleary urban lacquer and radiant force fields of loneliness. Elizabeth's ex-boyfriend has recently been spotted in the diner with a new love, and she is beside herself with grief; in the first of a series of heavy signifiers, she hands Jeremy a set of her ex's apartment keys, which he plops into a goldfish bowl full of similar cast-offs, Jeremy offers solace in the form of brisk advice and a slice of the blueberry pie no one ever orders.

September passes in a surround-sound of sweet singing day in and day out. Crickets give voice to lusty urges now, reminding us all that life is sweet, so sweet, and short. They will only last until heavy frosts hit a few weeks from now, so they sing for mates and lay eggs as if their very species depended upon it -- for it does. In ancient China and Japan, crickets were kept in beautiful little cages of gold so their songs could brighten a home. Many folks thought their night-time serenades brought blessings and luck as well as joy. For people who couldn't afford golden cages, wooden ones were made from trees or bamboo. I can't afford gold and haven't the time to whittle a clever bamboo cage, so I've brought my little insect canaries indoors in an old goldfish bowl with a loose top. It ...
