More than a year ago John Bryan began his underground paper Open City in the front room of a small two story house that he rented. Then the paper moved to an apartment in front, then to a place in the business district of Melrose Ave. Yet a shadow hangs. A helluva big gloomy one. The circulation rises but the advertising is not coming in like it should. Across in the better part of town stands the Press which has become established. And runs the ads. Bryan created his own enemy by first working for the Press and bringing their circulation from 16000 to more than three times that. It`s like building up the National Army and then joining the Revolutionaries. Of course, the battle isn`t simply Open City vs. Free Press. If you`ve read Open...

I don`t believe in God, but I miss Him. Julian Barnes` new book is, among many things, a family memoir, an exchange with his philosopher brother, a meditation on mortality and the fear of death, a celebration of art, an argument with and about God, and a homage to the French writer Jules Renard. Though he warns us that "this is not my autobiography", the result is a tour of the mind of one of our most brilliant writers.

Until her murder in October 2006, Anna Politkovskaya wrote for the Russian newspaper Novaya gazeta. She won international fame for her reporting on the Chechen wars and, more generally, on Russian state corruption. Nothing but the Truth is a collection of Anna Politkovskaya`s best writing for Novaya gazeta, published between 1999 and 2006.
