Another girl, another planet Thirty years after Douglas Adams embarked on his journey into outer space, Jenny Turner asks if his greatest work is stranded in the late 1970s'I remember the early 1980s, a Betamax recording of the BBC series that my grandparents had taped,' writes CMK, a blogger, born in 1979. 'I would watch it almost every day.' 'I sat in the car in the driveway, getting cold, listening to Vogon poetry' - thus Neil Gaiman (b 1960), who before American Gods, before The Sandman, wrote a gushy fan-book called Don't Panic: The Official Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Companion (1988). 'I was happy; perfectly, unutterably happy.' Among psychologists, no one is sure whether 'flashbulb memories' - in which you see everything as it was, but heightened, as if your mind had lit up and snapped it - really happen or if people just think they do. It's agreed, though, that the phenomenon has to do with shock - a death, a disaster, something that leaves everything catastrophically changed. How curious, then, GuardianSamuel Johnson by David Nokes A new biography of Johnson brings a fresh perspective to the story. By Kathryn HughesSamuel Johnson by David Nokes 448pp, Faber, £25Sooner or later, any modern-day biographer of Samuel Johnson has to decide whether he is going to side with Johnson himself or with the great man's nemesis, James Boswell. If he opts for Boswell then we will get the familiar Johnson, an odd assemblage of convulsive tics, roaring voice and bar-room philosophising. If, instead, the biographer sees Boswell as a sneaky parasite, staging scenes in order to manufacture good copy for his monumental Life, then the Johnson who is likely to emerge will be altogether more subtle, less shouty, a soul in distress and a man in the round.David Nokes goes for the second choice while not, of course, falling into the adjacent trap of seeing Boswell as a mere buffoon (this story has been told so many times that there are several well-worn grooves along which it could run like clockwork). Most importantly, he goes back to bot GuardianLittle Bird Presents MIX TAPE: Taking Flight!!!

VarietyGovernor`s race turns to industry dollar Film News: Candidates set the stage for high-profile donors -- Less than a day after California attorney general Jerry Brown declared that he's forming an exploratory committee to run for governor, he set Nov. 18 for a high-profile Hollywood-centric fund-raiser. Meanwhile, his chief rival, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, already has enlisted Ben Silverman, Ari Emanuel, Eric Paquette and Rob Reiner as co-hosts of fundraising events, as well as an eclectic group of industry donors ranging from Neal Baer to Lars Ulrich to Harvey Weinstein. And on Oct. 5, former President Bill Clinton will campaign with Newsom and attend a reception for the candidate at the Biltmore Hotel, with general tickets at $500-per-person, and $5,000 per person for a co-chair's reception. All this would appear to set the stage for a high-profile fight for industry donors reminiscent of the bitter battle between the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama campaigns. Maybe, but don't bet on it. The race has yet to genera VarietyAdam Foulds on The Quickening Maze Adam Foulds is the dark horse on this year's Booker shortlist, a writer who seems to have leapt fully formed into the literary spotlight.He explains why he decided to devote his second novel to a little-known episode in the history of poetry, when the disintegrating 'peasant poet' John Clare was incarcerated in an Epping Forest asylum along with the brother of the up-and-coming Alfred Tennyson.In a year when some have criticised the Booker judges for shortlisting so many historical novels, he considers how historical fiction can illuminate the issues of our own era. He also discusses the structural challenges of writing about madness, and explains why writing poetry has made him a better novelist.Claire ArmitsteadScott Cawley GuardianDetroit man gets 2 yrs for swiping car on 1st date A Detroit man has been sentenced to at least two years in prison for stealing a woman's car after skipping out on the check during their first date.
