...alas, a work of fiction. Nobel laureate Doris Lessing’s name is megalomaniacally scrawled in regal yellow in the center of the cover, leaving little room for the actual title of the book. Over-compensating for something, Doris? The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, by Junot Díaz Nothing says “good, interesting read” like the red silhouette of a man’s head with a bird’s wing emerging from the back, red ink dripping eerily from its base. If Wao’s life really...
Along with stories by well known authors like Wolff, Stone and Cynthia Ozick, are the works of emerging talents like newly minted literary wunderkind Junot Diaz. "Fiesta, 1980"--which is also included in Diaz's critically lauded 1996 debut "Drown"--details a Dominican American boy's encounters with his father's Puerto Rican mistress and his experience at a lively family party.

...Maker Roberto Rosseilini. No sooner said than scotched. "If ever she decides to marry, the announcement will come from the palace," chilled the Grimaldi press representative.

The doubles team started playing, according to Paris-Match, after a tennis tournament in Reno, and were spotted on a flight together from Los Angeles. Since her divorce from Philippe Junot, 42, in 1980, Caroline has reportedly dallied with Robertino Rossellini, son of Ingrid Bergman and the late Italian film maker Roberto Rossellini, and Robert Shriver III, offspring of Sargent and Eunice...
...paparazzo will tell you it is a dog-eat-dog business, but those on the Caroline off Monaco beat know it better than most. Since her divorce from Philippe Junot, the jet-setting playboy, Caroline, 24, rarely makes the scene. Yes, there is the occasional rendezvous with Close Friend Roberto Rossellini, 31, Ingrid Bergman's son. But generally the princess restricts her company to another tall, dark male. He is an Alsatian named Oenix and clearly the jealous type...
