IN “SMARTPHONE SOCIETY,” BIG QUESTIONS ABOUT SMALL DEVICES

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted March 4, 2020 Filed Under: A+E, Books

THIS IS REALLY A LOVE STORY

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted February 12, 2019 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader

Every line I enter into my computer about the Hub is also part of a love story, because like a parent in the 1950s (or today, I guess) attempting to rationalize smacking their kids, I truly love the objects of my animosity. Oftentimes, it hurts me more than it hurts Boston to level such relentless criticism.

HOSTAGE: AN INTERVIEW WITH GUY DELISLE

Written by CLAY FERNALD Posted May 10, 2017 Filed Under: A+E, Comics

"It was a very tense moment. I knew you can do a book with this but from the very beginning I knew the comic would be a very good medium to convey a story like that. Slow paced but with a little tension."

INTERVIEW: DEMETRI MARTIN COMES TO THE WILBUR

Written by DAN MCCARTHY Posted March 2, 2015 Filed Under: A+E, Comedy

I’m not old, but something weird happens on the road [that makes you] know the spots you like, but in a bad way. You’re like “I’ve been here before, I remember that." If I have time I try to go to the museums to feel like I’m doing something, and not just eating.
