Book Synopsis The Handmaid's Tale by : Margaret Atwood
Download or read book The Handmaid's Tale written by Margaret Atwood and published by McClelland & Stewart. This book was released on 2011-09-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant classic and eerily prescient cultural phenomenon, from “the patron saint of feminist dystopian fiction” (New York Times). Now an award-winning Hulu series starring Elizabeth Moss. In this multi-award-winning, bestselling novel, Margaret Atwood has created a stunning Orwellian vision of the near future. This is the story of Offred, one of the unfortunate “Handmaids” under the new social order who have only one purpose: to breed. In Gilead, where women are prohibited from holding jobs, reading, and forming friendships, Offred’s persistent memories of life in the “time before” and her will to survive are acts of rebellion. Provocative, startling, prophetic, and with Margaret Atwood’s devastating irony, wit, and acute perceptive powers in full force, The Handmaid’s Tale is at once a mordant satire and a dire warning.

Download or read book Honeymooners written by Chuck Kinder and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two outlaws of love (and literature) at large in their own Wild West. Ralph Crawford may be a talented short-story writer -- one of the best in the Bay Area, in America, in the 1970s; hell, in the whole English-speaking, late-middle-twentieth century -- but off the page he's only human. In fact, as his wife, Alice Ann, can attest, he's a mess: a jealous but faithless husband, an inveterate bouncer of checks, a plunderer of private misadventures for the sake of his fiction, and an often hapless drunk. When his (similarly human) buddy, Jim Stark -- a novelist burning with ambition, promise, and humiliation over his own failed marriage -- promises to deliver a cargo of incriminating letters to Ralph's latest paramour, a dark lady in Missoula named Lindsay Wolfe, the lives of all four are changed in ways none of them could predict.Careening across the western states during the twilight of the San Francisco underground, Chuck Kinder's already semi-legary masterpiece, twenty-five years in the making, is a rueful, comi-tragic juggernaut of good and bad intentions gone awry, high seriousness and hard living, and the gradual, painful coming of age of two couples who have spent the best years of their lives raising bad judgment to an art. With affection and self-savaging wit, Kinder captures the siren song of the writerly vocation in all its squalor, destructiveness, and glory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four riotous plays in one volume from a winner of an Outer Critics Circle Award: “A comic playwright of the first rank.”—New York Daily News Renowned for his wicked camp humor and biting social satire, playwright and drag legend Charles Busch has delighted audiences both on and off Broadway. This book contains four of his works, among them Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, one of the longest-running plays in Off-Broadway history, of which the New York Times said “the female roles [Busch] creates are hilarious vamps, but also high comic characters...the audience laughs at the first line and goes right on laughing at every line to the end.” Also included is the Tony-nominated Broadway hit The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife—a comedy about a self-absorbed Upper West Side woman whose life is devoted to mornings at the Whitney, afternoons at the Museum of Modern Art, and evenings at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, until her world is transformed by a visit from a childhood friend; The Lady in Question, a tribute to 1940s Hollywood that is both funny and suspenseful; and Psycho Beach Party, a cross between Gidget and Spellbound.

Download or read book Pressed written by Molly Henderson and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-19 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A former Lancaster County Commissioner, Dr. Henderson's book tells the story of the development, building, and financing of the Lancaster County Convention Center and Marriott Hotel in downtown Lancaster.The highly controversial "convention center project," as it was known to those in Lancaster County (pop. 510,000), was originally proposed in 1999 as a $75 million "public-private" partnership. The project would include a publicly-owned convention center ($30 million) and a privately-owned hotel ($45 million).By the time the convention center and hotel opened in 2009, the project's cost had ballooned to more than $170 million, with more than 90% of the total cost of both the convention center and hotel borne by Pennsylvania taxpayers.At the time of publication of Pressed, the private sponsors of the project -- the county's biggest industrialist and monopoly newspaper -- proposed, and had approved, another $25 million in additional public funds for the project. This makes it the most expensive capital project in Lancaster County history.The private owners of the hotel, because of close relationships with local and state lawmakers and officials, were also able to avoid paying property taxes on their Marriott Hotel, located on the site of a former national historic landmark building.That building, the Watt & Shand department store building (1895), was demolished to build the 300-room Marriott hotel. Several historical buildings, including the former home and business of Thaddeus Stevens, the great Civil War-era Congressman, were destroyed or partially torn-down in the development of the hotel-convention center project. The Watt & Shand was removed from the National Register of Historic Places as a result the developers' demolition of everything except part of the façade.Pressed tells the story of how the convention center and hotel went from $75 million to nearly $200 million, and how the cost of building the project shifted from a private-public split, to the public paying for almost the entire thing. The story is told from the vantage of someone, Commissioner Molly Henderson, who was there, as a sitting commissioner, who tried to stop the ill-conceived, risk-heavy, taxpayer-funded project before it was built.Henderson paid a price for her opposition. The local newspaper -- part of the small private investment group for the project -- harshly criticized Henderson. More than a thousand articles misrepresenting her opposition to the project were published. This was at a time when people still read newspapers, just before the age of the smartphone.The book is a "cautionary tale," as it serves as warning to other communities. These over-hyped projects -- convention centers; ballparks; arenas -- are ubiquitous across the nation, and often cost taxpayers tens and hundreds of millions of dollars. Those millions usually end up in the pockets of a very few, well-connected developers, lawyers, and investors. That is what happened in Lancaster.Pressed is a thorough, compelling read, complete with illustrations, charts, and a 'map' of the connections between the private partners and the public entities that funneled money to them. The book is exhaustively sourced, with more than 1,000 footnotes.
