Book Synopsis Collected Short-Stories and Four Novellas by : Elizabeth Greenwood
Download or read book Collected Short-Stories and Four Novellas written by Elizabeth Greenwood and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elizabeth Greenwood studied Sculpture at St. Martin's School of Art, and in Florence and Rome. She had a classical education, preferring Greek to Latin for the richness of its vocabulary and her sculpture with its references to Greek mythology reflects this predilection. She also writes Poetry. Apart from poetry, she enjoys producing emblematic fiction based on Mary Poppins' philosophical song "a spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down", thus fulfilling the writer's task as an entertainer cum moralist. Both the poetical and the modelling activities date from early childhood. Although these were largely ignored, she was fortunate in having been born into a family where close relatives had universal minds, uniting a passion for literature with a keen interest in Science (of Space especially), Politics and the Cinema. In latter years, to counteract the tendency to create works of the imagination, she has applied herself to the discipline of academic works in the field of Religion, i.e. the Bible, with particular regard to the Dead Sea discoveries, no well-documented. A successful breeder and trainer of horses, she has campaigned ceaselessly for higher education in Equine Studies, on the lines devised in America where Hippology has been elevated to university status, thus producing educated riders and saving the horse a lot of unnecessary suffering, She considers horses to be regulators and keepers of conscience, teaching stoical wisdom in the exercise of man's power over life and death.

Book Synopsis The Last Worthless Evening by : Andre Dubus
Download or read book The Last Worthless Evening written by Andre Dubus and published by David R. Godine Publisher. This book was released on 1997 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dubus's stories (now included in his Collected Short Stories & Novellas) tell of a suburban girl coming beautifully of age as her mother doesn't; a woman who refuses defeat at the hands of her brutal and pathetic husband; an eleven-year-old kid who meets up with a broken, angry, and decidedly dangerous Vietnam vet who takes him into a local bar for a treat. As novelist Richard Ford has said, "Dubus is a patient, resourceful and profound writer who never gives in to convention--although his situations are our situations, and imminently recognizable. The great, addictive pleasure of reading him arises from our anticipation that he is always going to say something interesting."
Book Synopsis The Practical Heart by : Allan Gurganus
Download or read book The Practical Heart written by Allan Gurganus and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A luminous quartet, five years in the writing, reveals even more fully the breathtaking range of "a storyteller in the grand tradition" (New York Times). Allan Gurganus's voice--by turn bawdy and serene, folkloric and profane--deepens as it soars into this quiet masterwork. Four new fables--rich in event, comedy, experience--surge with the force of history's headlines versus sidestreet human fortitude. Improbable heroes and heroines spiral outward from Gurganus's familiar Carolina terrain. Each fires into a wild and differing direction, all in quest of some fantasy that's practically impossible: --An impoverished immigrant has her portrait painted (or not) by John Singer Sargent. --A young man's devotion to saving eighteenth-century homes—and their odd lingering ghosts—helps him find unlikely ways to renovate his own mortality. --A pillar of the community becomes, over the course of one cartoon matinee, its pariah. --A beloved, transfixingly homely father shows his village and his only son a decency stronger than race, humiliation, or even death itself. These characters' quixotic missions prove mysterious, often even to themselves. Their legacies are not easily deciphered. And yet, their most impractical wishes soon become the heartiest facts about each. They manage to wrest battle-courage from everyday indecision. Out of superstition and convention, they lift certainty. They each find a wealth of consoling truths banked--immortal--in the all-too-human heart. Allan Gurganus's great powers--announced more than a decade ago by Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All--here achieve a yearning exuberance worthy of a new Whitman. These leaps of sexual longing, empathy, and faith become a major new gift from this essential fablemaker.

Download or read book The Liar's Wife written by Mary Gordon and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the short novels that make up this beautiful collection, Mary Gordon presents a quartet of finely rendered, emotionally resonant stories. Here we meet the ferocious Simone Weil during her last days as a transplant in New York City; a vulnerable American graduate student who escapes to Italy after her first, compromising love affair; the charming Irish liar of the title, who gets more out of life than most; and Thomas Mann, opening the heart of a high schooler in the Midwest. At every turn, Gordon revels in the interactions and crucial flashes of understanding that change lives forever. Entrancing reading, The Liar’s Wife is a wonderful demonstration of Gordon’s literary mastery and human sympathy.

Book excerpt: LOVE STORIES is about love at all ages, from the obsession of a young man in his early twenties for an older woman, to the sentimental journey of an old man, whose wife has recently died, to find the love he left behind him in war-torn England after World War II to return to the States. In DIANNE, the narrator finds himself obsessing over a beautiful woman he has seen on a train. It intensifies when she accidentally bumps into him on the steps of the New York Public Library a few weeks later. Frightened, not sure he isn't getting into something that is more than he can handle, he accepts her invitation to accompany her to a penthouse party on New Years eve. The ensuing relationship, filled as it is with beauty and tenderness, leaves him scarred and shaken when Dianne's own obsession, the mysterious world-traveler Charlie, returns to claim her.

Download or read book Four Comic Novellas written by Bob Jones and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The four novellas in this book were written in 2018, a pre-covid age which today seems almost innocently trouble-free compared to the current virus-induced social, political and economic upheavals the world is grappling with. On the plus side, the lockdown allowed opportunity and time for me to re-read these stories and tidy them up for publication. Regardless of the contemporary turmoil, one thing remains constant and that is the importance of laughter. So Heaven sent laughs about religion's absurdity, Modern society about the art world's gullibility and pretentiousness, and most important of all, The last judgement about the modern scourge of contrived offence-taking and the clamour by attention-seekers to regiment everyone's thinking. Finally, there's Risk and reward, a short crime story with a catch"--Introduction.
Download or read book Collected Stories written by John Barth and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 1015 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When John Barth’s Lost in the Funhouse appeared in 1968, American fiction was turned on its head. Barth’s writing was not a response to the realistic fiction that characterized American literature at the time; it beckoned back to the founders of the novel: Cervantes, Rabelais, and Sterne, echoing their playfulness and reflecting the freedom inherent in the writing of fiction. This collection of Barth’s short fiction is a landmark event, bringing all of his previous collections together in one volume for the first time. Its occasion helps readers assess a remarkable lifetime’s work and represents an important chapter in the history of American literature. Dalkey Archive will reissue a number of Barth’s novels over the next few years, preserving his work for generations to come.
