Some have created indelible interpretations that will last for generations. Many of our finest actors have donned the mustache to take on the role on screen. Even 102 years after he first appeared in the novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles, we still return to the Poirot well, as Kenneth Branagh's delightful adaptation of Death on the Nile hit the big screen.

It’s taken me a while to get back to my blog after months of nonstop busyness (holidays, sick season, etc.), but part of the holdup was that I’ve been wanting to write a post to tell you about this book, which needs more than a few minutes to describe. I was living in an apartment with my cousin and his best friend, whose name was Eric Haley (ph), who had gone to NYU film school. This goes all the way back to the summer after my freshman year of college, which would have been, I think, '97. SIMON: You heard these words in your own life, didn't you? WILSON: Oh, thank you so much for having me. Kevin Wilson, author of "Nothing to See Here" and other novels, joins us now from Swansea, Tenn., where he teaches at the University of the South. But its history stays buried and obscured until Frankie Budge, all grown up now and a writer, gets a call from a journalist. SIMON: What ever those words may mean, two teens, Frankie and Zeke growing up in Coalfield, Tenn., in the '90s turned them into an art project - a much-reproduced poster that becomes a national phenomenon. We are fugitives, and the law is skinny with hunger for us. KEVIN WILSON: (Reading) The edge is a shantytown filled with gold seekers. I'm going to ask Kevin Wilson to read a line that sets off so much in his new novel, "Now Is Not the Time to Panic.

It would seem that the description applies not just to the ancient Chinese sages but to Mitchell himself, a man with an eye for the genuine, a deep love and respect for words, and an awareness that, paradoxically, connecting with the essence of things always requires going beyond words. "There was only a passion for the genuine, a fascination with words, and a constant awareness that the ancient Masters are alive and well in the mind that doesn't know a thing." "There was nothing to live up to," he says. Mitchell describes their philosophy as a kind of non-philosophy. In The Second Book of the Tao, just published by the Penguin Press, he anthologizes some of the great teachings of Chuang-tzu - Lao-tzu's brilliant and playful disciple - and Tzu-Ssu, the grandson of Confucius. He has also co-authored two bestselling books with his wife Byron Katie. Renowned translator and scholar Stephen Mitchell has brought to life a wide range of literary classics for readers of English, including the Tao Te Ching, the epic of Gilgamesh, the Bhagavad Gita and the poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke.
