		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;My father once, in New York, exasperated by my relentless demands to be sent back to finish high school in Bombay, shouted at me, &#8216;When you were there, you wanted to come here. Now that you&#8217;re here, you want to go back.&#8217; It was when I first realised I had a new nationality: I was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday, the day of the UK launch, I purchased an iPad. It should be noted that this was done in a semi-coherent haze amid severe jet lag.
I wandered by the Regent Street Apple store first, but the atmosphere was pure madness. A line four abreast wrapped around the block; Stephen Fry was outside covering [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m beyond pleased to see that Alexander McCall Smith has another instalment in the lovely &#8220;44 Scotland Street&#8221; series coming out.  McCall Smith had previously implied that he would be shelving &#8220;44&#8243; to work on other things, most notably a new series set in Pimlico that kicked off with &#8220;Corduroy Mansions.&#8221; If you aren&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apollon Apollonovich was in a certain sense like Zeus: from his head there emerged gods, goddesses and genii. We have already seen: one such genius (the stranger with the little black moustache), arising as an image, continued as a being there and then in the yellowish expanses of the Neva, claiming it was from them [...]]]></description>

Not me. Having just returned from a whirlwind trip to Hong Kong and Singapore, my internal clock is still eight hours ahead. Sadly, I was [...]]]></description>

Pulls on his gloves and in a blinding snowstorm starts
Upon his deadly journey: again some writer
Runs howling to his art.

		<description><![CDATA[I read Lorrie Moore’s latest novel, “A Gate at the Stairs,” a couple of months ago and came away less than impressed. This was not expected. I’ve enjoyed Moore’s past work immensely. And by “Moore’s past work”, I mean “Birds of America.” So, take what follows with that considerable grain of salt.
Don’t misunderstand me. A [...]]]></description>

Here&#8217;s where I gather we are so far: The right wing is avoiding issues and instead working to frame the debate as fascism vs. independence. They appear to have fooled people into thinking [...]]]></description>
