...character this company brought to the stage from Schulz’s strip, manages to do so without having lines or songs of her own. And in the midst of all this grown-up humor, the cast genuinely looks and sounds like a gaggle of ten-year-olds. Technically, the production is as colorful and understated as the actors’ performances. Lighting plays an ingenious dramatic role and is crucial to the play’s finale. The aesthetic choices, from Lucy’s blackboard to Snoopy’s doghouse, form colorful geometric patterns, which are only...

Ten years ago novels were expanding rapidly, like little overheated primordial galaxies. Chunky, world-devouring tomes like Wallace's Infinite Jest and Franzen's The Corrections were supposed to be the wave of the future, as if the ominously burgeoning complexity and interconnectedness of contemporary reality demanded correspondingly fatter books to embrace them. Now, writers are more likely to immerse themselves in a single time and place, and at more portable lengths. The cosm...
