In four genre-bending works of fiction published in the past decade, the 57-year-old Sebald has established himself as one of Europe’s most distinctive authors, and certainly its most idiosyncratic. Two of his “novels” are collections of interrelated stories. All of them are narrated in a memoir style by a writer who at least superficially resembles Sebald, who, born and raised in Germany, has spent his adult life as a literature professor in England (he continues to write in German)....

Many games have learned from the likes of BioShock, and expanded or delivered their stories using their environments....

In a recent video uploaded to YouTube, creator Flurdeh has used a form of camera trickery to give the world of BioShock an almost adorable look. Using a technique known as tilt-shifting, which essentially changes the orientation or perspective of the lens, the camera shows the city of Rapture and its inhabitants as though they are tiny miniatures. The citizens can be seen milling about the place, and there’s even a sequence showing a Big Daddy stomping about, but the tilt-shift trick suddenly makes them look less menacing....

So Pakistan’s latest coup isn’t anything to worry about, right? Wrong. If Nawaz were a democrat, Pakistan at least would have a leader to rally behind and an ideal to aim for. Now cynicism prevails. The country of 148 million has the proven ability to build a nuclear bomb, but it can’t master the more subtle science of effectively managing its own affairs. It’s got a violent history with India, and it’s also on a grim list of post-cold-war countries listing dangerously toward lawlessness....

Memphis Democratic State Rep. John J. DeBerry Jr. criticized ongoing racial protests in Portland, Kenosha, and across the U.S., asking fellow members of the Tennessee General Assembly, “what kind of people have we become?” DeBerry said he witnessed the 1960s Civil Rights movement firsthand and blasted comparisons between those demonstrators of “class and character” and the protesters of today he described as emulating “the worst of stereotypes.” “I’m appalled when folks want to call this stuff that’s happening now and compare it to the Civil Rights movement when there is absolutely no comparison,” DeBerry told Fox News Friday....
