Book excerpt: This is a love story of a young Irish fighter's climb out of a blue collar neighborhood of Brooklyn into the double-dealing, high stakes world of Las Vegas during the 1960's. The road is full of potholes and death defying, hair-pin curves. At every fork, Johnny ("The Kid") takes the wrong turn that sends him into another whirlwind of suspenseful action. A conservative may label Johnny a stone-cold killer but the average reader will fall in love with him because of his deep sense of loyalty and code of honor. Johnny has an "old soul," an attitude from the Wild West but lives in the 1960's-a true recipe for trouble!

Book excerpt: Winner of the Man Booker Prize Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Fiction Winner of the John Dos Passos Prize for Literature New York Times Bestseller Los Angeles Times Bestseller Named One of the 10 Best Books of the Year by The New York Times Book Review Named a Best Book of the Year by Newsweek, The Denver Post, BuzzFeed, Kirkus Reviews, and Publishers Weekly Named a "Must-Read" by Flavorwire and New York Magazine's "Vulture" Blog A biting satire about a young man's isolated upbringing and the race trial that sends him to the Supreme Court, Paul Beatty's The Sellout showcases a comic genius at the top of his game. It challenges the sacred tenets of the United States Constitution, urban life, the civil rights movement, the father-son relationship, and the holy grail of racial equality—the black Chinese restaurant. Born in the "agrarian ghetto" of Dickens—on the southern outskirts of Los Angeles—the narrator of The Sellout resigns himself to the fate of lower-middle-class Californians: "I'd die in the same bedroom I'd grown up in, looking up at the cracks in the stucco ceiling that've been there since '68 quake." Raised by a single father, a controversial sociologist, he spent his childhood as the subject in racially charged psychological studies. He is led to believe that his father's pioneering work will result in a memoir that will solve his family's financial woes. But when his father is killed in a police shoot-out, he realizes there never was a memoir. All that's left is the bill for a drive-thru funeral. Fueled by this deceit and the general disrepair of his hometown, the narrator sets out to right another wrong: Dickens has literally been removed from the map to save California from further embarrassment. Enlisting the help of the town's most famous resident—the last surviving Little Rascal, Hominy Jenkins—he initiates the most outrageous action conceivable: reinstating slavery and segregating the local high school, which lands him in the Supreme Court.

Book excerpt: The “extraordinary” novel of a teenage gang in the 1960s Bronx, by the New York Times–bestselling author of Clockers and The Whites (Newsweek). The basis for the feature film, The Wanderers tells the story of teenagers on the streets of New York City, coming of age and drifting apart. Tormented by cold-hearted girls and cold-blooded ten-year-olds, maniacal rivals and murderous parents, they are caught between juveniles and adults in a gritty novel filled with “switchblade prose” and “dialogue [that] has the immediacy of overheard subway conversation”—from an award-winning author renowned for his writing on HBO’s The Wire and The Night Of, as well as such modern-day classics as Lush Life and Bloodbrothers (Newsweek). “A kind of teenage Godfather with its own tight structure of morality, loyalty, survival, and reprisal.” —Los Angeles Free Press “The flip side of American Graffiti . . . an amalgam of sex, violence, and humor, glued together with superb dialogue and unsentimental sensitivity.” —Rolling Stone “A superbly written book . . . insights that allow us—at times force us—to feel closer to other human beings whether we like and approve of them or not.” —The New York Times Book Review

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Indian society, women are traditionally discriminated against and excluded from political and family related decisions. Despite the large amount of work women must do on a daily basis to support their families, their opinions are rarely acknowledged and their rights are limited. From the time they are born, young Indian girls are the victims of discrimination. Instead of going to school, girls often find themselves forced to work in order to help their families, often from a very young age. Even more worrisome, 25% of women marry before the age of 15 and very often, they marry against their will. This has profound consequences, notably on women's health and their precarious situation often prevents them from receiving proper health care. For many Indian women, poor treatment, violence and exploitation take place on daily basis. However, in the last decades, the situation of women in India has greatly improved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reassessing the meanings of "black humor" and "dark satire," Laughing Fit to Kill illustrates how black comedians, writers, and artists have deftly deployed various modes of comedic "conjuring"--the absurd, the grotesque, and the strategic expression of racial stereotypes--to redress not only the past injustices of slavery and racism in America but also their legacy in the present. Focusing on representations of slavery in the post-civil rights era, Carpio explores stereotypes in Richard Pryor's groundbreaking stand-up act and the outrageous comedy of Chappelle's Show to demonstrate how deeply indebted they are to the sly social criticism embedded in the profoundly ironic nineteenth-century fiction of William Wells Brown and Charles W. Chesnutt. Similarly, she reveals how the iconoclastic literary works of Ishmael Reed and Suzan-Lori Parks use satire, hyperbole, and burlesque humor to represent a violent history and to take on issues of racial injustice. With an abundance of illustrations, Carpio also extends her discussion of radical black comedy to the visual arts as she reveals how the use of subversive appropriation by Kara Walker and Robert Colescott cleverly lampoons the iconography of slavery. Ultimately, Laughing Fit to Kill offers a unique look at the bold, complex, and just plain funny ways that African American artists have used laughter to critique slavery's dark legacy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Biography of a Mental Muscle is true story of the pathway and experiences of a man who grew up in the streets of Washington, DC, although he was surrounded by a positive family. This book depicts a young man who somehow became wayward in his conduct and behavior and landed in some form of serious detention more than one time during his youth. Before turning his life around, Cornell Evans Jr. was a boxer, hustler, a father, a husband, a military man, an inmate, and a barber. Evans took all of those things and filled the book to showcase loyalty, honor, integrity, respect, betrayal, pain, deceit, and triumph. The Biography of a Mental Muscle is truly about how important using your brain is in making decisions that not only affect you but those around you, as Cornell learned through his stint in jail, in which he left behind his wife and kids. While there, he sought a higher power and found one that turned his life around. Throughout the book, you can feel his ups and downs and read what made him continue on and to continue to grow as a man today. The biggest down was his wife’s illness while he was in jail. His biggest high was writing this book. His story is not unlike many hard-knock stories, but the significance of Evans’s life is about being strong enough to use your mental muscle to fight to make the right decisions in your life so that you can get back up when knocked down—like he did.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like so many others, Florence, along with her two daughters Eboni and Ivory, felt trapped in the small, gated projects of Shady Oaks located in the worst part of D.C. It was a place where the grass didnt grow above the surface and most wouldnt rise above poverty. A place where teens gave birth and senseless murders occured so much that people grew up actually thinking it was the thing to do. As a result, they turned out to be just as shady and willing to try any drug if it promised to leave them higher than a tree. And the new drug on the streets for young people was called Money. Although there was nothing new about powder cocaine except for the name it now went by, the kids in the neighborhood made it seem like it was something no one else had ever done. In fact, they made it seem as if it was so new that the consequences of using it would turn out completely different. However, it wouldnt be to the person they would least expect to succumb to its harsh reality, causing their perspective to change. She was encouraged to try Money for the first time by her closest friend. However, she didnt know it would also be her last time. When she felt her eyes uncontrollably roll in the back of her head and her spirit start to rise above the level of ecstasy, it is then that she knew she had made a fatal mistake.
