...started in 1996 as a hip lifestyle magazine aimed predominantly at young men. Its first hard-hitting cover - a stark black-and-white image of former beauty queen Euvgenia Kalkandjieva, showing the scars she received in a near-fatal 1996 gang attack in downtown Sofia - sparked widespread outrage and acclaim. Egoist's reputation for uncompromising journalism took off. Today the magazine has a circulation of 12,000, huge for the Bulgarian market, but it reaches as many as 75,000, with copies changing hands as many as 15 times. According to editor Alexander Zhekov, 31, the readership consists mainly...

...When she forms a band with Mikhael, we realize that she has finally learned to "sing" with someone else. And unlike her spiritual journey, Sharon's route to love with Mikhael is truly moving.

She received a great deal of critical acclaim for her first novel, Kaaterskill Falls, as well as for her two previously published collections of short stories, Total Immersion and The Family Markowitz. Goodman is clearly a talented writer. Her style allows her to move easily from colloquial dialogue to poetic descriptions. The characters in Paradise Park are wonderfully...
...musicians, who saw the newcomers as rip-offs. But in January, Coldplay won three nominations for Brit Awards (the British Grammys), including Best British Group and Best British Album. Radiohead, whose members are in their early 30s and whose most recent album, Kid A, has met with massive critical acclaim and popular success, is up for those two awards as well. If Coldplay can steal just one Brit from Radiohead at the awards ceremony on Feb. 26, it will confirm its claim as the cute Radiohead alternative, instead of just Radiohead Lite...
