This Week at the Union Theatre Ingmar Bergman in retrospect If you have time - or money - to do one thing with your spare time this week it must be to watch one of the Ingmar Bergman in Retro­ spect films. The screenings, which take place at the Union Theatre (second floor of the Union Building), feature a number of free showings, new 35mm prints and a list of the best films in the history of cinema. Highlights include the brilliantly gut-wrenching "Autumn Sonata" and the unforgettably chilling "Cries and Whispers."

"I just finished rereading it. Like every other book by this author, I've read this one several times. Like her other novels, the setting alternates between New Orleans and the ficti­ tious Missing Mile, N.C.. The only surviving son of an underground comic book legend who murdered the rest of his family in the 1970s, Trevor Black is a kid with issues. He returns to North Carolina to confront his past, only to alter his future unimaginably. The novel's backdrop consists of second-gen­ eration hippies, alternative sub-cul­ ture and an unforgettable cast of characters."
