Fury is a hugely personal work: a tribute to Rushdie’s newfound love, and to his love for his children, an excoriation of the excesses and breakneck speed of 21st century America, and a story of redemption and ultimate healing. Expatriates in America will find much to sympathize with; Americans may find themselves on the defensive. Not everyone will identify with the fury that Rushdie ascribes to his characters and portrays in their world, and the cynics may have difficulty believing in the redemptive power of love.

...Confederation Cup to world champion France. Those successes point to the growing prowess of the country's players. But that might not be the only reason European clubs are eyeing the J-League for recruits. A more cynical view among football commentators is that the Premier League's newfound appetite for Japanese footballers has as much to do with balance sheets as it does ball skills. Having a Japanese player on the squad could yield a club rich revenues in broadcast deals and merchandise sales in Japan. When West Ham United, an English side, unsuccessfully attempted to sign Gamba Osaka...
