Download or read book New Devilry written by D.A. Watson and published by Next Chapter. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly divorced and old before his time, a bored accountant seeks to rekindle the passions of his youth in the wilderness of Alaska. Running Wild Tours promises nine days of kayaking, camping, whale watching, and only the slight possibility of being eaten by bears. The apocalypse is definitely not listed in the itinerary. The annual Halloween office party at Lamplight Electrical Supplies always throws up an alcohol related scandal or two, and the Witches' Brew punch bowl and magic show provided by the new guy in the admin team has the night off to a flyer. Then the murders start. And the cannibalism. In a remote glen in the Scottish Highlands, close to a lonely loch known and feared by the locals, a policeman finds an abandoned car containing three shotguns, a rucksack stuffed with cash, and a mobile phone. On the mobile is a video confession describing a bank heist gone horribly wrong, and the terrifying consequences for the robbers. Featuring green-eyed monsters, flesh eating luchadores, malevolent squirrels and evil Christmas decorations, New Devilry is D.A. Watson’s second mixed bag of fiction in all its guises, a compendium of comedy and carnage where chills and chuckles collide.

It is based on firsthand interviews with those who knew Henderson both personally and professionally, as well as detailed research of published and unpublished sources.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in 1928 in a tent on the shore of Loch Fyne, Argyll, Duncan Williamson (d. 2007) eventually came to be recognized as one of the foremost storytellers in Scotland and the world. Webspinner: Songs, Stories, and Reflections of Duncan Williamson, Scottish Traveller is based on more than a hundred hours of tape-recorded interviews undertaken with him in the 1980s. Williamson tells of his birth and upbringing in the west of Scotland, his family background as one of Scotland’s seminomadic travelling people, his varied work experiences after setting out from home at about age fifteen, and the challenges he later faced while raising a family of his own, living on the road for half the year. The recordings on which the book is based were made by John D. Niles, who was then an associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley. Niles has transcribed selections from his field tapes with scrupulous accuracy, arranging them alongside commentary, photos, and other scholarly aids, making this priceless self-portrait of a brilliant storyteller available to the public. The result is a delight to read. It is also a mine of information concerning a vanished way of life and the place of singing and storytelling in Traveller culture. In chapters that feature many colorful anecdotes and that mirror the spontaneity of oral delivery, readers learn much about how Williamson and other members of his persecuted minority had the resourcefulness to make a living on the outskirts of society, owning very little in the way of material goods but sustained by a rich oral heritage.

Download or read book Fringe and Fortune written by Wesley Monroe Shrum Jr. and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does the distinction between high and popular art persist in spite of postmodernist predictions that it should vanish? Departing from the conventional view that such distinctions are class-related, Wesley Shrum concentrates instead on the way individuals form opinions about culture through the mediation of critics. He shows that it is the extent to which critics shape the reception of an art form that determines its place in the cultural hierarchy. Those who patronize "lowbrow" art--stand-up comedy, cabaret, movies, and popular music--do not heed critical opinions nearly as much as do those who patronize "highbrow" art--theater, opera, and classical music. Thus the role of critics is crucial to understanding the nature of cultural hierarchy and its persistence. Shrum supports his argument through an inquiry into the performing arts, focusing on the Edinburgh Fringe, the world's largest and most diverse art festival. Beginning with eighteenth-century London playhouses and print media, where performance art criticism flourished, Shrum examines the triangle of mediation involving critics, spectators, and performers. The Fringe is shown to parallel modern art worlds, where choices proliferate along with the demand for guidance. Using interviews with critics and performers, analysis of audiences, and published reviews as well as dramatic vignettes, Shrum reveals the impact of critics on high art forms and explores the "status bargain" in which consumers are influenced by experts in return for prestige.
