...cures their emotional ills using a mirror and advice so good it seems like magic. For the fictional Aburiria, think Africa. In Wizard of the Crow, Kenyan author Ngugi draws a folkloric tale out of the continent crippled by inequality, corruption and aids. But he sees the funny side, too. Wizard of the Crow is an epic farce, poking fun at Aburiria's idiotocracy as misunderstandings and mistaken identities throw its characters into one ridiculous adventure after another. All written in the lyrical style of a master storyteller, perfect for reading - and laughing - aloud. - By Jumana Farouky 4. Seamus Heaney...

Closing the door between Japan and America would be a big step back from the increased internationalization of recent years, which culminated in the celebrated March 2006 World Baseball Classic...
...wait. It's all right. It's good news. Two blue dolphins were choking on plastic they ate off the side of their aquarium pool, and no medical instrument could access the blockage. So, for a change, something sensible was done. The world's tallest man, all seven-foot-nine of him, was summoned - from the flock (of what, yaks?) he was herding in Inner Mongolia.
