...novel tells the story of a precocious 16-year-old named Mifti, who, following the death of her mother, attempts to escape the meaninglessness of her life by losing herself in the sex, drugs and violence of the Berlin club scene.

On Wednesday morning, Vonn's teammate Julia Mancuso turned in the downhill ride of her life at Whistler Creekside, setting herself up for an upset gold. But Vonn responded, achy shin and all, finishing the 1.8-mile course in 1 min. 44.19 sec., beating eventual silver medalist Mancuso by 0.66 sec. Vonn's run was even more amazing considering that several top skiers crashed...
