Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Person and Other Stories is the fourth collection of short stories by Ali Smith. The First Person and Other Stories effortlessly appeals to our hearts, heads and funny bones. Always intellectually playful, but also very moving and funny, Smith explores the ways and whys of storytelling. In one, a middle-aged woman conducts a poignant conversation with her gauche fourteen-year-old self. In another, an innocent supermarket shopper finds in her trolley a foul-mouthed, insulting and beautiful child. Challenging the boundaries between fiction and reality, a third presents its narrator, 'Ali', as she drinks tea, phones a friend and muses on the relationship between the short story and - a nymph. Innovative, sophisticated and intelligent, the stories in The First Person and Other Stories are packed full of ideas, jokes, nuance and compassion. Ali Smith and the short story are made for each other. 'Smith's is a profoundly optimistic vision. These stories are frightening yet funny, and the sheer exuberance and playfulness of her language endows dark matters with a lightness of touch' New Statesman 'She's a genius, genuinely modern in the heroic, glorious sense' Alain de Botton 'Terrific . . . hurrah for Ali Smith . . . The best short-story writers make it look as easy as making a cup of tea. Ali Smith is one of these . . . A bold and brilliant collection of stories by a writer unafraid to give it to us as it is' Times 'A glorious collection that celebrates and subverts the short story form' Independent

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2nd volume in his San Francisco Quartet by the foremost South Asian American and San Francisco writer! It gave me enormous satisfaction though, to know that Aneela understood the nature of my love for her. Perhaps that's what kept me in the pursuit. I'd never believed that true love could be possessed. But it could be touched. Even kissed. Or else it turned into bitterness, a cactus growing inside one's body, and that's the last thing I wanted to carry with me into my old age. It didn't bother me a bit that she was with Mobeen, sleeping with him at will. I'd be fine if one day she woke up and left, I repeatedly told myself. It was obvious that I'd remember her no matter what, keep the memory of falling in love with her alive for as long as I could. I had to appreciate her awareness not of my feelings for her alone but the agony she caused my heart. Sadly, she was an expert at offering soothing words to keep the embers from dying. "I've not read anything quite like "Unsolaced Faces," with its scent of unrequited love, its flavor of deceit. In dense poetic language, Moazzam Sheikh explores possession and madness inherent in the pursuit of love, when ardor turns to anger, and devotion leads to desertion. This odyssey exploring sticky love and intellectual fulfillment in bohemian San Francisco will both seduce and confound you."--William Torphy, author of Motel Stories Fiction.

Book Synopsis There Was a Woman by : Domino Renee Perez
Download or read book There Was a Woman written by Domino Renee Perez and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How is it that there are so many lloronas?" A haunting figure of Mexican oral and literary traditions, La Llorona permeates the consciousness of her folk community. From a ghost who haunts the riverbank to a murderous mother condemned to wander the earth after killing her own children in an act of revenge or grief, the Weeping Woman has evolved within Chican@ imaginations across centuries, yet no truly comprehensive examination of her impact existed until now. Tracing La Llorona from ancient oral tradition to her appearance in contemporary material culture, There Was a Woman delves into the intriguing transformations of this provocative icon. From La Llorona's roots in legend to the revisions of her story and her exaltation as a symbol of resistance, Domino Renee Perez illuminates her many permutations as seductress, hag, demon, or pitiful woman. Perez draws on more than two hundred artifacts to provide vivid representations of the ways in which these perceived identities are woven from abstract notions—such as morality or nationalism—and from concrete, often misunderstood concepts from advertising to television and literature. The result is a rich and intricate survey of a powerful figure who continues to be reconfigured.
Book Synopsis In Search of the Magic Theater by : Karla Huebner
Download or read book In Search of the Magic Theater written by Karla Huebner and published by Regal House Publishing. This book was released on 2022-06 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why, the rather staid young cellist Sarah wonders, should her aunt rent their spare room to the perhaps unstable Kari Zilke? Like the nephew in Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf, Sarah finds herself taking an unexpected interest in the lodger, but she is unable to stop at providing a mere introduction to Kari's narrative of mid-life crisis and self-discovery, and develops her own more troubled tale of personal angst and growth, entwined with the account Kari herself purportedly left behind. Generational tensions, artistic collaborations, and even a romance steeped in Greek myth follow as Kari and Sarah pursue their very different creative paths in theater and music. And while Kari seems to blossom post-divorce, Sarah must grapple with the question of what the role of mothers, fathers, aunts, mentors, and male collaborators should be in her life as a young musician.
Book Synopsis A Footbridge to Hell Called Love by : Moazzam Sheikh
Download or read book A Footbridge to Hell Called Love written by Moazzam Sheikh and published by . This book was released on 2023-01-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First novella from Moazzam Sheikh's San Francisco Quartet, a slow motion walkthrough in pre-pandemic San Francisco. He couldn't tell her, not yet, but thought about it, wished he could, that when he made love to her, he resisted thinking about Manto's famous short story Thanda Gosht, fought off the image of the dead woman being fucked. That in turn made him revisit a rather mediocre French noirish film Icy Breasts, although the connections between the blue meat metaphor of the story and Alain Delon's cold stare thriller were a stretch of the imagination. He couldn't help it. He could never muster the courage to ask her whether she closed her eyes because she couldn't stand looking at his face or preferred conjuring up the image of someone in her past, lost in the crowd, someone dead. He allowed himself to marvel at the possibility that deposits of coldness could hide and survive even beneath the warm flesh. His sight ravished the ethereally lucid beauty of her face, his nose inhaling the micro smells of her freckled skin as his tongue and lips devoured the salt mines of her bruised terrain. He didn't know, couldn't know, behind the closed windows of her eyes, if she was soulful or icy. Mostly he believed that it was her, or most women's, way of focusing, not on the person but pleasure. To him pleasure was secondary to pleasing, but both were subservient to the person. His mind did wander, for all sorts of reasons but only fleetingly, for man is but an idea made of distractions and forgetfulness. Was he in love with her? Yes, he was, he could say. Was she in love with him? He couldn't be sure. No, he was certain, or was he? she wasn't, couldn't be in love with him. Did she love someone else? That's where things got complicated. They often talked about it, his love, her love, his love for her, her love for him and that's where things got twisted and hurtful and awkward. "Witty and wise, Sheik's novel follows the amorous adventures of Aslam Rana, adrift between women and literary rivalries in San Francisco--a comic yet probing tale of contemporary mores and the ultimate quest for connection."--Elizabeth McKenzie, author of The Portable Veblen Fiction. Asian & Asian American Studies. Middle Eastern Studies. Women's Studies.
