She admits to a big regret in life: the time she told her son Jamie that she hated him. That’s on page one. The business of being Paula Deen, “the strange-talking, middle-aged, feisty, butter-wielding, mayo-spreading woman,” does not begin and end at the kitchen stove, of course. In addition to her two Food Network Shows—“Paula’s Home Cooking” and “Paula’s Party”—there is the magazine Cooking with Paula Deen, five cookbooks, a restaurant she co-owns with her younger brother, Bubba—and, of course, the place that started it all for the once agoraphobic, divorced mother of two, The Lady and Sons in Savannah, Ga....
I threw open the car door but didn’t get out. Part of my lethargy was exhaustion from being up for the past twenty-four hours. I didn’t have a regular job, but I worked like a dog. Martel Johnson had hired me to find his runaway sixteen-year-old daughter, Chevette. He’d gone to the police and they had taken down her information, but two weeks had gone by and they hadn’t turned up a thing....
In terms of sheer drama, it’s an irresistible tale, and David Hoffman’s new book, “The Oligarchs: Wealth and Power in the New Russia” (564 pages. PublicAffairs), milks it for all it’s worth. He’s right to do so. You just can’t tell the story of how Russia staggered from the centrally planned command economy to the imperfectly market-driven business world of today without dwelling on the exemplary fate of characters like Alexander Smolensky....
Andrews has always loved the musty atmosphere of old theaters—“the smells,” she writes, “of paint and makeup, and grease and sweat, and most of all, of warm dust from the great drapes and the painted drops and the grubby, pockmarked stage.” Her mother and stepfather toured Britain in the dying days of vaudeville, and not long after the freakishly gifted Julie began voice lessons at the age of 9, she joined her parents in their act....
What did you think of Colin Powell’s U.N. presentation? It was a very good start for the endgame. For too long, the administration just hasn’t sold this to the American people. But in some ways the international community is the most important audience. We really want to have them all on board, mainly for the day after. Then it will be the international community rebuilding and not the U.S. colonizing....
Scenes like these have turned Houellebecq, 43, into the most talked-about literary sensation France has seen in 30 years. By turns furiously cynical, bitterly hopeless and, at times, surprisingly idealistic, Houellebecq’s provocateur style has seized millions of readers. After the publication of his second novel, “The Elementary Particles,” in 1998, Houellebecq was labeled a fascist and a misogynist–or simply a bad writer–by some French critics, a visionary by others. A tale of sexual misery, cloning and family tragedy, “Particles” was a searing condemnation of Western consumer society....
