Yet Hounslow is about to become famous for another, similarly noisy local feature: a violent, hip-hop-infused, South Asian youth culture that is the subject of perhaps the year's most loudly hyped first novel. The talk of last fall's Frankfurt Book Fair, the manuscript was sold after fierce bidding to the British publisher Fourth Estate for a reported $675,000 as part...

...extreme-right's new, more photogenic face, he was wrong. Swept back to center stage and his traditional role as the national Cassandra, Le Pen has found supporters flocking to him anew in the wake of the suburban Muslim riots of November, and two months of violent youth protests over labor reform this year. Able to claim he'd long denounced the mass immigration and bleeding heart permissiveness he has blamed the rioting and demonstrations on, Le Pen has been effective in mocking de Villiers as a calculating opportunist - or, as his daughter and potential successor called de Villiers...
