ARTS & LEISURE (“e” code)

OPERA-CHARACTERS-FATE (Undated) — There is a lively realm of fan fiction focused on movie and television characters, in which viewers share ideas on how some breakup or betrayal might turn out. Opera fans, by contrast, are fixated on characters who have been around for generations, even centuries. Yet we, too, like to speculate on what happens after the final curtain falls. By Anthony Tommasini.

FILM-DERN (Undated) — Actor Bruce Dern sees “Nebraska,” opening Nov. 15 in the United States, as his golden ticket, the reason for an unlikely career peak at the age of 77. In the film, directed by Alexander Payne, Dern plays Woody, a wobbly, hard-of-hearing retired grouch who, edging toward senility, becomes convinced that he is a sweepstakes millionaire. By Logan Hill.

MAINSTREAM-UNDERGROUND (Undated) — These days, grotty basement shows, scavenged-art installations and far-flung site-specific performances are zoomed in on and shared, mapped and located, turning what were niche events into potential spectacles. The boundary around the mainstream is more porous, changing the very definition of being underground. By Melena Ryzik.

COMEDY-SLATE (Undated) — Comedian Jenny Slate specializes in terrifying, from the lunatic girlfriend of Aziz Ansari’s Tom Haverford on “Parks and Recreation” to the catty, hypercompetitive frenemy on the new HBO comedy “Hello Ladies.” A recent transplant to Los Angeles, she returns to her first love, stand-up, and former home, Brooklyn, on Nov. 17. By Stacey Anderson (Q&A).

Theatre-DUFF (Undated) — An English actress of Irish extraction, Anne-Marie Duff will make her New York debut in “Macbeth,” playing Shakespeare’s “fiendlike queen,” a role she had thought she would never attempt. What extraordinary female characters there are, chances are Duff has played them. By Alexis Soloski.

DANCE-ALLEGRO (Undated) — Mark Morris’ 25-year-old masterwork “Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato,” to be performed Nov. 21 to 23 at New York’s Lincoln Center, still fascinates audiences with its dialogue between action and contemplation. By Alastair Macaulay.

FILM-HIDDLESTON (London) — Tom Hiddleston, 32, is a classically trained British actor of the most classic kind, and the latest in a long line of British performers to move with remarkable dexterity between Serious Theater and mass-market cinematic fame. Hiddleston plays the role of the nefarious (or is he?) god of mischief, Loki, in “Thor: The Dark World.” By Roslyn Sulcas.

FILM-MOON (Undated) — It’s not unusual, especially these days, for a film to have a lengthy gestation period. But “Reaching for the Moon,” a new drama about the tempestuous love affair between the American poet Elizabeth Bishop and the Brazilian landscape architect Carlota de Macedo Soares, has, by any standard, been an exceptionally long time in the making. By Larry Rohter.

FILM-LIFE (Roxbury, Vt.) — “One Cut, One Life” is ostensibly about how two filmmakers, Ed Pincus and Lucia Small, cope with death, in its sudden and protracted forms, but it is something else as well: a meta-exploration of their collaboration itself, and how they both use personal filmmaking to deal with the difficulties of life. By Tom Roston.

HOME-VIDEO-RELEASES (Undated) — TCM and Columbia’s five-film box set “John Ford: The Columbia Films Collection” covers Ford films in genres not usually associated with him. By Dave Kehr.

TV-FALL-SEASON (Undated) — Watching the latest fall television season unfold since September, I’ve been struck by two things, neither of them happy. One is that this season, more than ever, the most basic effect of Sept. 11 on popular entertainment is clear: The casual depiction of torture and mass murder is an easy way to spice up a drama. The other is that no new network show has emerged as an obvious keeper the way “The Good Wife” did in 2009 and “Nashville” did last year. By Mike Hale.

TV-TANDEMS (Undated) — This fall’s season has brought an assortment of shows that put a lot of weight on the shoulders of two actors. Some are getting it right, some aren’t. By Neil Genzlinger.

AMAZON-ALPHA (Undated) — “Alpha House,” the first original series from Amazon, may be about four fictional scandal-clad senators living in a group house in Washington, but verisimilitude is a foundational element. Garry Trudeau, the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist of “Doonesbury,” conceived and wrote the series, and it stars John Goodman, who played big and fun on the sitcom “Roseanne.” By David Carr.

MUSIC-GAGA (Undated) — Lady Gaga the relentless is back in full force on “Artpop,” her third full-length studio album of new songs. “Artpop” positions her in a more rarefied zone: with the kind of performance and gallery artists more likely to be seen at the Brooklyn Academy of Music than at an arena concert. By Jon Pareles.

Bestseller Lists (have moved)

BESTSELLERS-HARD (Undated) — Bestselling hardbacks.

BESTSELLERS-PAPER (Undated) — Bestselling paperbacks.

NOTEWORTHY-PAPERBACKS (Undated) — Short summaries of other paperbacks.

BESTSELLERS-COMBINED (Undated) — Combined print and e-book bestsellers.

BESTSELLERS-CHILDREN (Undated) — Bestselling children’s books.

BESTSELLERS-ADVICE (Undated) — Bestselling advice books.

TRAVEL (“t” code)

REGULAR FEATURES

CARIBBEAN-POSTCARDS (Undated) — How do you define the Caribbean? Writers intimately acquainted with the islands answer with postcards from their ancestral homes. By Bernice L. McFadden, Raquel Cepeda, Edwidge Danticat, Colin Channer and Elizabeth Nunez.

With map and photos XNYT143-153.

TOKYO-EATING (Undated) — As much as David Kinch, the chef and owner of the restaurant Manresa in Los Gatos, Calif., uses wild, local ingredients and features them in his new cookbook, “Manresa: An Edible Reflection,” it would be misleading to say that the Bay Area is his only muse. He believes Tokyo is the “greatest eating city in the world.” By Emily Brennan (Q&A).

FLA-CRAFT-BEER (Undated) — Craft beer is usually not what comes to mind when thinking about Orlando. Walt Disney World, Universal Studios or another splashy theme park, yes, but not beer. Today, however, this landlocked central Florida city is getting a reputation for its growing craft beer scene. By Shivani Vora.

PA-HOTEL-REVIEW (Undated) — A brief review of the Hotel Monaco, a big instant classic in Philadelphia’s Old City. By Freda Moon.

With photos XNYT89, 90.

HOTELS-MUSIC (Undated) — From guitars in rooms to full-on concerts in the lobbies, hotels are making music a major amenity. By Elaine Glusac.

NATIONAL-PARKS-WINTER (Undated) — Good news for travellers to national parks this winter: Although the federal government shutdown forced the National Park Service to close 401 parks and lose $450,000 a day in revenue, it did little to slow preparations for winter activities like cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. By Emily Brennan.

NC-SPANISH-RESTAURANT (Undated) — On paper, the recipe for Cúrate, a traditional Spanish tapas restaurant that opened in 2011 in downtown Asheville, N.C., seems to lack some requisite ingredients. But successful business recipes, like culinary ones, are often based on passion and instincts, not textbook conformity. By Alex Crevar.
