...novel War Trash - an exhaustively researched work about the Korean War and winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award - was his first to be set outside China. A Free Life is the first to be set in his adopted home, and he deftly conjures an American landscape of rolling, wide-open spaces spangled by brawny, glimmering rivers ("This sight beats the Yangtze," Pingping gushes, while she gazes at the "mighty and vast" Hudson, just outside New York City). There are also decent depictions of bland, sleepy McSuburbs like Lilburn, Ga. - a typical bedroom community of electricians, engineers, stucco churches and donut shops...

And the New York critics rebuffed Ratatouille - and The Simpsons Movie and Bee Movie and Beowulfand other ani-movies people have actually seen - with a first-ballot vote for Persepolis. An art-house film beat out movies that have already grossed nearly $1.5 billion dollars (or about 47 euros) worldwide...
...Medal of Freedom in November. His son was at the White House to accept it on his behalf. Dr. Biscet unfortunately couldn’t be there; he spent another day as a Cuban prisoner of conscience, locked in a wretched cell. Before accepting his father’s award, Yan Valdes Morejon emphasized in a Boston Globe editorial that his father’s suffering has not diminished. Biscet has lost nearly 40 pounds and most of his teeth. Castro refuses to release Biscet, despite appeals from the United Nations and international human rights organizations...
