...newest film, director Marc Forster makes a drastic break from his previous work, Monster’s Ball. Johnny Depp plays James “J.M.” Barrie, in the process of writing his masterwork Peter Pan.

In a zippy new monograph on the artist to be published next week (Thames & Hudson; 112 pages), Justin Paton likens Swallow to a hobby-shop Proust. "There's a sense in which Ricky's career looks less and less like a linear progression from one object to the next," says the curator of contemporary art at New Zealand's Dunedin Public Art Gallery.
