GQ (India) on film director Cary Fukunaga:
The irony, to Fukunaga’s mind, was that he’d actually worked hard to apprentice himself. In 2009, he signed on to direct an adaptation of Jane Eyre. At the time, he was 32 and coming off his first film, Sin Nombre, which had won a directing prize at Sundance. Fukunaga is a romantic, and Jane Eyre appealed to that part of him; it was also a relatively conventional studio film, with movie stars and well-known source material. “There was nothing experimental about it,” he says. “But for me, it was an exercise.”
The exercise worked. Fukunaga’s Jane Eyre was taut, glossy, a bit haunted – a success, and a calling card – and almost immediately, people called. (Zach Baron)
Dawn (Pakistan) reviews the novel The Women's Courtyard by Khadija Mastur:
Opening with an apt quote from Charlotte Brontë, the afterword makes the oft-repeated comparison of Mastoor and Masroor with the Brontë sisters — in this case, too, there was a third sister who wrote some short stories — but it also highlights important differences between them as artists.

El Observador (Uruguay) talks about pseudonyms:
"La historia occidental es principalmente de autoridad masculina, por lo que las mujeres empezaron a usar nombres ambiguos o directamente masculinos". [says Sue Lanser, profesora de Inglés, Literatura Comparada y Estudios sobre Mujeres, Género y Sexualidad de la Universidad Brandeis, EE.UU.]
Eso hicieron las hermanas británicas Charlotte, Emily y Anne Brontë (Emily es la autora de Cumbres  borrascosas y Charlotte, de Jane Eyre, quienes publicaron sus libros con los nombres de Currer, Ellis y Acton Bell, respectivamente. (BBC News) (Translation)
The Shropshire Star publishes pictures of the Steampunk Weekend in Haworth. A fragment of Rolf Boysen's German Wuthering Heights audiobook is discussed on HR2.
