	Elena Lappin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elena Lappin is a British author and journalist, born in Moscow in 1954, who grew up in Prague and Hamburg, and has lived in Israel, Canada and the United States.
		In 2004, Elena Lappin became known as one of the journalists deported from the United States due to a lesser known requirement for journalists to apply for a peculiar kind of visa.

	firstamendmentcenter.org: news
		Lappin, 49, a naturalized British citizen originally from Russia, said she came to Los Angeles as a freelance writer for The Guardian, a British daily newspaper.
		Lappin said she didn't know journalists needed a special visa to work in the United States and had previously traveled in the country without one.
		Lappin said she was taken to a processing center in downtown Los Angeles and placed in a small cell until being deported to London the next day.

	The Neil Rogers Show - News - Return of the McCarthy Era
		Lappin, a British citizen, arrived at Los Angeles airport and in short order was searched and interrogated, jailed in a small barren cell, allowed minimum food and drink -- and 26 hours later deported.
		The experience might have gone unremarked, but Lappin, as it happens, is a journalist and wrote about her rude and inexcusable treatment at length in the July 4th New York Times Book Review and at even greater length and damning detail in the July 5th issue of the prestigious British paper The Guardian (www.guardian.co.uk).
		Lappin had come here on a freelance assignment for The Guardian with no visa, as journalists from the 27 visa waiver countries have long done, expecting to be automatically allowed in for 90 days.

	Guardian Unlimited Books \| By genre \| Observer review: The Nose by Elena Lappin
		Elena Lappin has written the ghost of a novel about a serene mother and grandmother with a dreadful past, unsuspected by her family.
		The only bit of research Lappin seems to have done is into the British Transport Police, her chosen employers for the heroine's husband, Tim, even if the end result is only an Avengers-style scheme by neo-Nazis to destroy the Tube.
		Lappin favours a melting approach to point of view, so that one character's perspective runs into another, a difficult technique to bring off, but only absolutely a mistake when, as here, your plot is all about secrets.

	Metroactive Books \| Elena Lappin
		For most of Lappin's women, the transition to "life-long sadness" comes all too quickly, as a promising-seeming marriage burns out or a loved one's death alters an already unfamiliar landscape.
		LAPPIN, WHO WAS BORN in Moscow and has lived in places as far afield as Israel, London, Hamburg and Canada, is alive to the humorous aspects of cross-cultural unions.
		Lappin has come up with that rare thing: a concept-driven collection that also works on a story-by-story level.

		Lappin has taken us to; her art is gradually to erode the oddness and leave us moved.

	"Guardian reporter detained, deported from U.S.," wrote John McCrory
		Elena Lappin, a fiction and nonfiction writer on a freelance assignment for The Guardian, tells of how she was detained and deported from the United States last week for no other reason but that she's a member of the press.
		If Lappin had been coming here for vacation, to visit her in-laws (she's married to a U.S. citizen) or for business other than reporting, there would be no problem.
		The same day Lappin was denied entry to the U.S., The American Society of Newspaper Editors used the occasion of World Press Freedom Day to call for the amendment of Section 221 (G) of the Immigration and Nationality Act to allow journalists short-term entry into the United States without visas.

	MetroActive Books \| Elena Lappin
		In her debut collection of short stories, Foreign Brides (Farrar, Straus and Giroux; $22), author Elena Lappin takes the fantasy and runs with it.
		One of the problems, for Lappin, is the hidden cost of exile: "All émigrés have the same basic story to tell," says a character in one story.
		Lappin, who was born in Moscow and has lived in places as far afield as Israel, England, Germany, and Canada, is alive to the humorous aspects of cross-cultural unions.

	ASNE - British journalist expelled for not having special visa
		Elena Lappin, who lives in London, arrived in California on Monday, May 3 -- ironically, World Press Freedom Day -- to write a story for the British daily newspaper The Guardian.
		Lappin, 50, was put on a flight back to London yesterday afternoon.
		Lappin edited the Jewish Quarterly from 1994 to 1997, and has written for such British publications as The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph and The Times of London.

	The Rebel Angels
		In ''Framed,'' meanwhile, a German woman chooses to flee to Israel with the shy scholar who is helping her convert to Judaism rather than marry the woefully egocentric writer for whom she is becoming a Jew.
		Most often, Lappin, who was born in Moscow, raised in Prague and Hamburg and now lives in London, casts her characters into a sort of romantic no man's land, where happiness and despair make equal claims on the heart's disputed turf.
		What makes Lappin's stories so effective is not just her resolute honesty and sense of emotional adventure but also her exquisitely dark humor.

		But Lappin is a funny and formidable talent, and her next project--a novel with the intriguing, Gogolian title of The Nose--should be worth sniffing out as soon as it hits the shelves.
		The jerky rhythms and brute candor of the 12 stories in Lappin's first collection arise from the imperfect, second-language English spoken by the author's brazen heroines.
		Noa, of "Noa and Noah" (who is an Israeli, like many of Lappin's characters), thinks "**** that" to keeping kosher for the sake of her British husband, NoahAa supercilious, newly moneyed debt collector who picked her up in a Tel Aviv disco and moved her into his chrome-and-glass London flat.

	Deportations upset media groups \| The San Diego Union-Tribune
		LOS ANGELES – When freelance journalist Elena Lappin boarded United Airlines Flight 935 from London to Los Angeles International Airport, she envisioned exploring the City of Angels and succumbing to its laid-back charm.
		Instead, the most Lappin saw of the city on her truncated trip in May were glimpses of nighttime urban Los Angeles through the metal bars of a security van.
		Detained upon arrival by immigration officials, then clapped in handcuffs, the British national was told she would have to be deported.

	The Rebel Angels - New York Times
		The women who populate Elena Lappin's fine debut short story collection approach relationships with the reckless spirit of tourists traveling without visas -- they would rather rely on improvisation and luck to get where they're going than follow a set of binding conventions.
		Time and again, Lappin shows us that temerity is often the only path to happiness.
		In fact, if the book has a significant flaw, it is that Lappin occasionally leans on the irony button a bit too hard, especially in her finales, which have a tendency to be so tightly twisted that the life is squeezed out of them.

		Here’s a slate piece Elena Lappin wrote about Iraqi poet Fawzi Karim.
		I realize that Lappin’s treatment at LAX was inexusable, but even she has to realize that it furthered her writing reputation more than anything else she had written.
