"Alicia" is a lonely girl in a mountain village who yearns for escape and is given the opportunity from a most unwelcome source. "The Errant Knight" portrays a chess match involving a player who is haunted by missed opportunities.

"Roger Hecht has given us an insightful, accurate and compelling look into the demanding, exhilarating and life-changing entry portal into a symphony orchestra: 'Audition.' Hecht's story has the sound and feel of the real thing, and readers will never again attend a concert without bringing to mind his cast of characters and their musical, emotional, and interpersonal journey that led them to a coveted position on stage-or not." -Douglas Yeo, Professor of Trombone, Arizona State University; Bass Trombonist, Boston Symphony Orchestra (retired)
Book Synopsis Audition & Subtraction by : Amy Fellner Dominy
Download or read book Audition & Subtraction written by Amy Fellner Dominy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-09-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best friends Tatum and Lori are used to doing everything together-including a clarinet/flute duet for District Honor Band auditions. But all that changes when Michael transfers to their middle school, and into their band. Suddenly, not only is he competition for Tatum's spot on stage, but he's stealing Lori, too. Tatum doesn't like change no matter its form: not with her good friend Aaron, who seems to believe her fib that they're secretly boyfriend and girlfriend. And not with her mom either, who, to cope with a separation from her dad, is performing in community theater, of all things! Amy Fellner Dominy composes an equally heartwarming and hilarious story of how holding tight to the status quo can mean missing out on the future-and how often times the best way to move forward is by going solo.

This process is often a dreaded, nerve-wracking trial by fire, but it is also a source of many a great story. What Have You Done? is a treasure trove of such stories." "With hundreds of anecdotes from and about the illustrious and the anonymous, Louis Zorich brings us up on stage, into the producer's office, onto the casting couch - and, frequently, through the exit door - to share how a brief few moments can seem like an eternity, and how individual triumphs and failures reveal the enduring spirit of the performer. Included are stories about Robert De Niro, Madonna, Oprah Winfrey, Renee Zellweger, Barbra Streisand, James Dean, Will Ferrell, Nathan Lane, and many more." --Book Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Editors' Choice pick One of Literary Hub's Most Anticipated Books of 2021 Stories that capture our times by “a young author who has already established himself as a unique American voice” (Elle). Said Sayrafiezadeh has been hailed by Philip Gourevitch as "a masterful storyteller working from deep in the American grain." His new collection of stories—some of which have appeared in The New Yorker, the Paris Review, and the Best American Short Stories—is set in a contemporary America full of the kind of emotionally bruised characters familiar to readers of Denis Johnson and George Saunders. These are people contending with internal struggles—a son’s fractured relationship with his father, the death of a mother, the loss of a job, drug addiction—even as they are battered by larger, often invisible, economic, political, and racial forces of American society. Searing, intimate, often slyly funny, and always marked by a deep imaginative sympathy, American Estrangement is a testament to our addled times. It will cement Sayrafiezadeh’s reputation as one of the essential twenty-first-century American writers.

Twelve-year-old Harper has been dancing practically since she could walk. She loves her dance studio and team, and just won her first ever top junior solo in a regional competition. But right before the school year starts, Harper’s parents drop a bombshell—the family has to relocate from their cozy town in Connecticut to sunny Florida for their jobs. That means goodbye to her friends, dance team, trips to see shows in NYC—and did she mention dance team? When she arrives at her new dance school and new team, it feels like everyone has better feet, quicker turns and faster taps than Harper. And it doesn’t help that a group of girls, who nicknamed themselves The Bunheads, wonder how the heck she made the team if she can’t even do a simple turn sequence in front of the class. Thankfully, Harper befriends Lily, a fellow newbie in the studio who is just as eager to make her mark and find a friendly face. With a big competition coming up for the dance team, Harper is determined to show everyone—especially those Bunheads—what she’s made of. And when a very badly timed injury threatens all of the work they have done, The Bunheads, Lily, and Harper must learn to truly work together to give them their best shot at the top spot!
