HBO premieres The Sunset Limited in the Caribbean Miami, March 1, 2011 – HBO Latin America announced that the HBO Film, THE SUNSET LIMITED will premiere in the Caribbean this Saturday, March 5th. Starring Academy Award® winner Tommy Lee Jones (“No Country for Old Men,” “The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada”) and Academy Award® nominee Samuel L. Jackson (the “Iron Man” series, “Pulp Fiction”), the film explores and debates the value of existence. THE SUNSET LIMITED is a searing two-character drama that mixes humor and pathos while examining the relationship between strangers who are brought together by desperate circumstances. Locked in a philosophical debate, both passionately defend their personal credos and try to convert the other. Set in a New York tenement apartment, the story focuses on two very different men – a deeply religious black ex-con (Samuel L. Jackson) who thwarts the suicide attempt of an asocial white college professor (Tommy Lee Jones) who tried to throw himself in front of the Sunset Limited, a Harlem subway train. While one attempts to connect on a rational, spiritual and emotional level, the other remains steadfast in his hard-earned despair. Shot in 12 days at the Garson Studios in Santa Fe, New Mexico, THE SUNSET LIMITED is based on the play of the same name by eminent Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, Cormac McCarthy. The film was directed and executive produced by Tommy Lee Jones, written by McCarthy, produced by Barbara A. Hall, and is an HBO Films presentation of a Javelina Film Company production.

Cormac Mccarthy's Suttree
Missing in Portuguese: Prolegomenon to a Translation of Cormac McCarthy‟s Suttree Michael Scott Doyle (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) Missing in Portuguese is a translation of Cormac McCarthy‟s fourth novel, Suttree.1 Why should this be of concern? Because Portuguese is a major world language,2 Cormac McCarthy is one of the most acclaimed contemporary American novelists, and Suttree, published in 1979, is one of his most lauded novels. McCarthy—winner of a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship (1981), also known as the “genius grant,” the National Book Award (1992) and National Book Critics Circle Award (1992) for his novel All the Pretty Horses, the James Tait Black Memorial Prize (2007), and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction (2007) for The Road—is a high priest among American writers. While eight of his ten novels have been translated into Portuguese—O Guarda do Pomar in 1996 [The Orchard Keeper, 1965], Filho de Deus, 1994 [Child of God, 1974], Meridiano de Sangue, 2006 [Blood Meridian, 1985], Todos os Belos Cavalos, 1993 [All the Pretty Horses, 1992], A Travessia, 1999 [The Crossing, 1994], Cidades da Planície, 2001 [Cities of the Plain, 1998], Onde os Velhos Não Têm Vez, 2007 [No Country for Old Men, 2005] and A Estrada, 2007 [The Road, 2006]—Suttree awaits its rightful rendition into this major literary language as well.3 The translation-to-be will require the talents of a master wordsmith in order to felicitously bring the novel‟s many complexities into Portuguese, and doing so will enrich the library of world literature available in the Portuguese language.

How does theatre serve our community?” Each of our selections for our eighth season will give a different answer to these questions. Based on the belief that mankind created theatre to serve a spiritual need in our community, our riskiest and most challenging season yet will ask us to face mankind’s deepest mysteries. We open the season with one of the most powerful writers of our time, Cormac McCarthy (All the Pretty Horses, The Road, No Country for Old Men). The play, billed as “a novel in play form” brings us into a startling encounter on a New York subway platform which leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where they engage in a brilliant verbal duel on a subject no less compelling than the meaning of life. TV and film star Carl Lumbly (Jesus Hopped the ‘A’ Train, Alias, Cagney & Lacey) returns to the SF Playhouse to reunite with local favorite Charles Dean (White Christmas, Awake and Sing!) after having performed together in Berkeley Rep’s 1997 production of Macbeth.

I've Travelled a Lot on Amtrak Over the Years. At
I’ve travelled a lot on Amtrak over the years. At one time or another I’d taken most of the major trains that head west: the California Zephyr, the Southwest Chief, and the Empire Builder. There was one branch of the Amtrak map, though, that I’d never taken. That was the Sunset Limited, the once grand old train that runs across the bottom of the country on the old Southern Pacific tracks. I’ve always wanted to take that train, and the wish would finally be granted on this trip. My main vacation in 2016 would take me to Los Angeles. I haven’t been to that city in a decade, yet when I stepped off the train platform at Union Station it seemed like I’d just been there yesterday. Everything was wonderfully familiar. L.A. is not a city I know really well (like Chicago), but it’s still a place that feels like home. It was good to get back there—to return to some old favorite places and to check out some things I hadn’t seen before. While our trip wouldn’t officially begin until tomorrow, I’m starting my re-cap today. My sister Margaret, who would accompany me on this vacation, came over to my place around 1:30pm. The bulk of the day was spent working with her laptop computer. She wanted to install Windows 10 on the machine before the free upgrade offer expired. When I upgraded my two computers a year ago, all the necessary programs downloaded in the background for days or weeks prior to the changeover.
