THE photograph slipped casually from a pile of Persian letters. Just another photograph, Jasmin Darznik thought, as she helped her mother, Lili, clear her San Francisco house after the death of Darznik's father. But it wasn't. As she picked it up, she realised it was of a young Iranian girl, no more than 14 years old, her eyes lined with kohl and her mouth stained with a lipstick almost black as olives. The girl looked on the verge of tears. That the photograph was of her mother was indisputable. And yet ... her eyes skimmed over the photograph more closely ... a satin dress pulled tightly over her torso ... a veil over her head and skimming her body ... Lili was a bride in this picture. Darznik gazed incredulously at the image. For the man next to Lili, the groom in the tuxedo and the ...

Ais for Arkady Novikov This summer Russia's answer to Richard Caring is venturing outside the motherland for the first time with the Novikov Restaurant and Bar on Berkeley Street, Mayfair. Arkady Novikov (below) opened his first restaurant, Sirena, in Moscow in 1992 after being turned down for a job at McDonald's. Today his group has a multimillion-dollar turnover at over 50 sites serving 18 different cuisines; he's catered at the Kremlin and counts Vladimir Putin as a pal. Why has he chosen to come here now? 'Because London's place in the global food market has stormed to the top of the table,' he says. Expect two super-chic restaurants - one Asian, one Italian - and start saving; his incredibly glamorous Russian openings rarely come cheap. Stefano Stecca, who has worked at his own Ost...

Bristol vs Nottingham "Louise Selby, 27, about to return to Bristol from Nottingham, said: "In many ways Bristol is miles ahead of other cities, especially on the cultural side, with much more to do.

AROUND 15 years ago, the founder of America's MIT Media Lab wrote a book that predicted the future. Nicholas Negroponte's Being Digital focused on the transition from "unwieldy atoms" of information, such as books, into bits of information. He foresaw personalised daily news such as web feeds, as well as the rise of touch-screen technology and digital books. Society is more digital than it's ever been. But what does it mean for us, and what's the point of it all? In his epilogue, Negroponte said: "Bits are not edible; in that sense they cannot stop hunger. Computers are not moral; they cannot resolve complex issues like the rights to life and to death. But being digital, nevertheless, does give much cause for optimism.

Doug Johnstone, author My favourite books this year all come from America. The best thing I've read is a novel only just published over here, but originally written in 1996. Matthew F Jones's A Single Shot (Mulholland Press, pound(s)9.99) is an utterly compelling piece of American country backwater noir, a believable and heartbreaking tragedy about a man who accidentally shoots a teenage girl while out poaching deer. He subsequently makes some catastrophic decisions and descends into a world of psychological torture and a kind of madness. The prose is sparse and precise yet somehow also elegant. The second thing that blew me away this year was another American novel originally written a while ago, but only now getting published over here. Drive (No Exit Press, pound(s)7.99) by James Sal...
