...made a Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. One day he was shocked to see Paris police randomly stopping nonwhites. Then, while searching for an obscure cinema ("I'm a big movie buff, five or six a week"), he discovered the 10th arrondissement's rich stew of African and Asian ethnicity. His novel tries "to look at Paris in a different way," he says, "through the eyes of immigrants who live there but seldom come in contact with white French natives...
Wrenching decisions are what Pixarians have to make, just as the exigencies of the market are what they try to ignore. The title, for one thing: it's pronounced rat-a-tooey and refers to a Mediterranean vegetable stew, which not everyone will know or, knowing, will care about. And then ... well ... rats.

In general, the investigators found that more than half of all attackers had documented cases of extreme depression...
...Valle was brought aboard by Pingvinen's owners to resurrect some of the techniques learned from her childhood on a local farm. With its exposed brick walls and vintage furnishings, Pingvinen is an appropriately domestic setting for Valle's homemade classics. Think hearty, comforting dishes like salted-lamb stew, or salted dried lamb ribs, washed down with glasses of Hansa, the local brew. On Thursdays, crowds pack the place for Valle's raspeball-potato-and-flour balls served with turnip mash-but weekends are the busiest, when both locals and tourists turn up for the true flavor of Norway...
