The lineup for 2009's Arts & Letters Live season at the Dallas Museum of Art was unveiled today, and as usual, it's a feast for the literal-minded. Highlights would include Ian McEwan, Elizabeth Gilbert, Wally Lamb, David Sedaris and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. But that's just a sampling. You should be able to order tickets today via this link. Of interest to you, the Web-savvy reader: Some of the events will be recorded and, eventually, posted online at www.DallasMuseumofArt.tv. Arts & Letters Live director Carolyn Bess tells me that some past programs are already available; there will be a delay of approximately 6 to 9 months after the end of the 2009 season before the new programs are posted. A complete schedule has been compiled below. See any favorites on this list? Programs are held in the Horchow Auditorium at the Dallas Museum

A really distinguished list.
Let me especially recommend Alex Ross, who writes beautifully and whose "The Rest Is Noise" demystifies modern music for folks who don't know much about classical music but who know what they like.
