Book excerpt: Richard Grayson has been keeping a daily diary compulsively since the summer of 1969, when he was an 18-year-old agoraphobic about to venture out into the world - or at least the world around him in Brooklyn. His diary, approximately 600 words a day without missing a day since August 1, 1969, now totals over 9 million words, rivaling the longest diaries ever written. But Grayson is not merely an eccentric with graphomania. His nonfiction has appeared in PEOPLE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE ORLANDO SENTINEL, THE SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC, THE NEW YORK POST and numerous other periodicals. Excerpts from his diaries have appeared online at McSWEENEY'S and THOUGHT CATALOG. ROLLING STONE called Grayson's first short story collection, WITH HITLER IN NEW YORK, published in 1979, "where avant-garde fiction goes when it becomes stand-up comedy," and NEWSDAY said, "The reader is dazzled by the swift, witty goings-on." In BOY FINDS BROOKLYN, Grayson is 19, a college junior trying to find himself.
Book Synopsis A Boy in Brooklyn by : Adolf Hansena
Download or read book A Boy in Brooklyn written by Adolf Hansena and published by Adolf Hansen. This book was released on 2022-02 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A COLONY OF SOCIAL TRUST In the middle of the last century, 62,000 Norwegian immigrants and their families dominated a section of Bay Ridge, a neighborhood in the borough of Brooklyn. Their primary distinction was expressed through social trust, a characteristic that is often uncommon today throughout this country and around the world. Adolf Hansen was born into this colony and lived there until he graduated from high school. His experience of trust began during his preschool years with trust in his mother and father; continued with trust in others in the colony throughout his time in grade school; developed trust more fully within himself in junior high, as others trusted him; and then evolved in his trust in God, and God's trust in him in high school. This development of social trust was not unique to this predominantly Protestant colony. It was replicated in the lives of his peers and their families, as well as thousands of others in the colony. Similar experiences were also present in the lives of Italian Catholics and Eastern European Jews with whom he connected in the neighborhood. Experiences of social trust are at the core of this book!
Book Synopsis The Boy from Brooklyn by : Adrien Martin
Download or read book The Boy from Brooklyn written by Adrien Martin and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book came into this world October 18, 2014. It was a difficult story to tell because of the shifting moods of the characters and situations. To go from “And there was my grandmother, the very definition of misery”. The apartment she lived in was given to her by my uncle, her son, but she took us in when we had no place to live. She had her own story: To go to; “Because we were so poor there was no money for toys. My uncle Jess bought me a red fire truck, the kind you sit in and peddle. I was not allowed to take it into the street so I drove it on the roof of that garage next door, our private playground going round and round. I loved that truck as it was the only toy I had. Boy, poverty sucks but has its advantages: you learn to live without things and it makes you strive for more, willing to do anything to get out of poverty”. Everything this book is, is to relay the total experience of the piece, the happiness, the sadness, and most of all the fear. With situations like; “When they got to me they wrapped me up in a quilt and hung me out of the window with only the pressure of the window holding me up. Eric’s family lived on the eighth floor of their building so if I fell I would most assuredly be dead from the fall. I could see down as my head was partially hanging out of the quilt, a crowd started to gather below”. It is also meant to be a tribute to the Brave men and women in the Armed Forces and Law Enforcement. I try to bombard your senses with strong feelings of what life was like for these people with involvements such as; “I thought to myself this is a murder assignment and I was right! We were there for one reason and one reason only: to eliminate the enemy, to win this war by attrition”. The book is for the reader to get completely involved with each situations gravity.
