Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rheinhardt, a disk jockey and failed musician, rolls into New Orleans looking for work and another chance in life. What he finds is a woman physically and psychically damaged by the men in her past and a job that entangles him in a right-wing political movement. Peopled with civil rights activists, fanatical Christians, corrupt politicians, and demented Hollywood stars, A Hall of Mirrors vividly depicts the dark side of America that erupted in the sixties. To quote Wallace Stegner, "Stone writes like a bird, like an angel, like a circus barker, like a con man, like someone so high on pot that he is scraping his shoes on the stars."

Download or read book The Hall of Mirrors written by Jim Storr and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-09 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military scholar and author of The Human Face of War analyses the nature of 20th-century war and warfare in this wide-ranging study. The 20th Century was possibly the most violent and turbulent century in history. The wars waged in those ten decades reshaped the globe and wreaked an incalculable toll on human life. In The Hall of Mirrors, military analyst and historian Jim Storr explores what can we learn from war, and warfare, in the 20th century. Rather than presenting a narrative history, The Hall of Mirrors takes a deep look at the nature of 20th Century war and warfare. Storr looks at the strategy, operational art, and tactics employed. He analyzes how technology developed, and how those technologies affected military events. He also considers the effect of individual human beings and organizations. By 1919 the First World War was already over. Millions had died, empires had crumbled, new nations had been born. And yet the so-called Great War was merely setting the stage for another eighty years of crisis, conflict, and change; of alliances forged and broken; of apparent chaos that can appear futile, and yet has enormous consequence.

Book Synopsis The Metanarrative Hall of Mirrors by : Garrett Stewart
Download or read book The Metanarrative Hall of Mirrors written by Garrett Stewart and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-03-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its laser-focus on the verbal and visual infrastructure of narrative, The Metanarrative Hall of Mirrors is the first sustained comparative study of how image patterns are tracked in prose and cinema. In film examples ranging from Citizen Kane through Apocalypse Now to Blade Runner 2049, then on to Christopher Nolan's 2020 Tenet, Garrett Stewart follows the shift from celluloid to digital cinema through various narrative manifestations of the image, from freeze-frames to computer-generated special effects. By bringing cinema alongside literature, Stewart discovers a common tendency in contemporary storytelling, in both prose and visual narrative, from the ongoing trend of “mind-game” films to the often puzzling narrative eccentricities of such different writers as Nicholson Baker and Richard Powers-including the latter's eerie mirroring of reader empathy in his 2021 Bewilderment.
Book Synopsis The Hall of Mirrors by : Peter Stoicheff
Download or read book The Hall of Mirrors written by Peter Stoicheff and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Hall of Mirrors Peter Stoicheff examines the complicated composition and publication history of Drafts & Fragments to demonstrate how the volume has become a site where conflicting responses to Pound's public and poetic lives are interpreted and reconstructed. Finally he delivers not only a well-rounded study of one of Pound's most important texts but an exploration of the modern long poem, whose very length works against the possibility of its satisfactory closure.
Book Synopsis Eckhart Tolle's Hall of Mirrors by : Steven Heymans
Download or read book Eckhart Tolle's Hall of Mirrors written by Steven Heymans and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tolle’s project is one of empowering humans to detach from the many externalities that people typically identify themselves by—histories, bodies, desires, beliefs, work, emotions, roles—which are thought to be the sources of personal affliction. To detach from them allows one to enjoy a more truthful and untroubled life. The “true self” that Tolle promotes is a self that is stripped of the externalities people identify with so that they might enter a spiritual realm that is transcendent and anxiety-free. One of the criticisms of Tolle in this book is that the spiritual wisdom he promotes makes people less human and more spiritual, angelic, and godly. But that world—the world of spirits, angels, and gods—is not where people belong, says classics scholar Martha Nussbaum. Humans are mortals, and their mortality brings with it limitations and constraints within which they must operate. But operating within such limitations—which include time (temporality) and death—does not mean people are without resources in the human project to live and flourish. Humanness has allowed people to develop an array of skills that have become their birthright—rationality, resourcefulness, emotional intelligence, cooperation, and storytelling, among others. This book argues that Tolle’s project of transcending leads to an impoverishment of humanity; in contrast it calls for an understanding and embrace of humanness that allows people to flourish within the limits imposed upon them within their material and bodily conditions.

Book Synopsis Hall of Mirrors (Short Story) by : Kurt Vonnegut
Download or read book Hall of Mirrors (Short Story) written by Kurt Vonnegut and published by Delacorte Press. This book was released on 2009-10-20 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Look at the Birdie is a collection of fourteen previously unpublished short stories from one of the most original writers in all of American fiction. In this series of perfectly rendered vignettes, written just as he was starting to find his comic voice, Kurt Vonnegut paints a warm, wise, and often funny portrait of life in post–World War II America—a world where squabbling couples, high school geniuses, misfit office workers, and small-town lotharios struggle to adapt to changing technology, moral ambiguity, and unprecedented affluence. In this disquieting tale, the investigation into a string of mysterious disappearances turns surreal for two detectives, when they pay a visit to the home of a celebrated hypnotist. But who will turn the tables on whom when the final spell is cast? Hall of Mirrors and the thirteen other never-before-published pieces that comprise Look at the Birdie serve as an unexpected gift for devoted readers who thought that Kurt Vonnegut's unique voice had been stilled forever—and provide a terrific introduction to his short fiction for anyone who has yet to experience his genius.
Book Synopsis Bryant & May: Hall of Mirrors by : Christopher Fowler
Download or read book Bryant & May: Hall of Mirrors written by Christopher Fowler and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2018-12-04 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: London, 1969. With the Swinging Sixties under way, Detectives Arthur Bryant and John May find themselves caught in the middle of a good, old-fashioned manor house murder mystery. Hard to believe, but even positively ancient sleuths like Bryant and May of the Peculiar Crimes Unit were young once . . . or at least younger. Flashback to London 1969: mods and dolly birds, sunburst minidresses—but how long would the party last? After accidentally sinking a barge painted like the Yellow Submarine, Bryant and May are relegated to babysitting one Monty Hatton-Jones, the star prosecution witness in the trial of a disreputable developer whose prefabs are prone to collapse. The job for the demoted detectives? Keep the whistle-blower safe for one weekend. The task proves unexpectedly challenging when their unruly charge insists on attending a party at the vast estate Tavistock Hall. With falling stone gryphons, secret passageways, rumors of a mythical beast, and an all-too-real dismembered corpse, the bedeviled policemen soon find themselves with “a proper country house murder” on their hands. Trapped for the weekend, Bryant and May must sort the victims from the suspects, including a hippie heir, a blond nightclub singer, and Monty himself—and nobody is quite who he or she seems to be. Praise for Bryant & May: Hall of Mirrors “Arthur Bryant has written his memoirs—and a jolly good yarn they make, too. . . . As always in this series, this one’s a lark.”—The New York Times Book Review “[Hall of Mirrors is] a largely comic escapade whose tone evokes both the biting wit of Evelyn Waugh and the slapsticker shenanigans of P.G. Woodhouse.”—The Wall Street Journal “More fully fleshed-out suspects, clues, red herrings, twists, and honest mystery and detection than in the last three whodunits you read.”—Kirkus Reviews “The narrative [veers] between laugh-out-loud funny to macabre. . . . Eccentric and consistently entertaining.”—Booklist “Fowler evokes the period as neatly as he crafts the plot.”—Publishers Weekly “Wonderful.”—Deadly Pleasures “So Agatha Christie (intentionally). And as in a Christie, nothing is quite what it seems as one murder follows another. Love the butler.”—Poisoned Pen Newsletter
Book Synopsis Hall of Mirrors by : John Copenhaver
Download or read book Hall of Mirrors written by John Copenhaver and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a popular mystery novelist dies suspiciously, his writing partner must untangle the author’s connection to a serial killer in award-winning John Copenhaver’s new novel set in 1950s McCarthy-era Washington, DC. In May 1954, Lionel Kane witnesses his apartment engulfed in flames with his lover and writing partner, Roger Raymond, inside. Police declare it a suicide due to gas ignition, but Lionel refuses to believe Roger was suicidal. A month earlier, Judy Nightingale and Philippa Watson—the tenacious and troubled heroines from The Savage Kind—attend a lecture by Roger and, being eager fans, befriend him. He has just been fired from his day job at the State Department, another victim of the Lavender Scare, an anti-gay crusade led by figures like Senator Joseph McCarthy and J. Edgar Hoover, claiming homosexuals are security risks. Little do Judy and Philippa know, but their obsessive manhunt of the past several years has fueled the flames of his dismissal. They have been tracking their old enemy Adrian Bogdan, a spy and vicious serial killer protected by powerful forces in the government. He’s on the rampage again, and the police are ignoring his crimes. Frustrated, they send their research to the media and their favorite mystery writer anonymously, hoping to inspire someone, somehow, to publish on the crimes—anything to draw Bogdan out. But has their persistence brought deadly forces to the writing team behind their most beloved books? In the wake of Roger’s death, Lionel searches for clues, but Judy and Philippa threaten his quest, concealing dark secrets of their own. As the crimes of the past and present converge, danger mounts, and the characters race to uncover the truth, even if it means bending their moral boundaries to stop a killer.

Book Synopsis Hall of Mirrors by : Michael J. Carr
Download or read book Hall of Mirrors written by Michael J. Carr and published by Gadfly Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-11 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This full color edition of the Hall of Mirrors is the most thoroughly researched work on the Ruby McCollum story published since the work of William B. Huie. Written by the author who first published the annotated transcript of the murder trial, this work explores recent attempts to revise Ruby McCollum's story to suit the motives of various authors, academics and film producers. Hall of Mirrors avoids the confirmation and presentist biases found in other works and presents this captivating story in its proper historical context. It is a "must read" for anyone seriously interested in the facts of the case, but is guaranteed to offend those who steadfastly deny Ruby McCollum’s innocence in the face of overwhelming facts.
