Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the title – “Conversations with Likka Sto’ Rufus”. Rufus is a complex African-American character. It would not be accurate to call him “Liquor Store Rufus”, because the cultural nuances would be muted. “Likka Sto’ Rufus”, at seventy something, is beautifully mellow and snarky, combined with all of the rip-roaring spices that go to make a fully developed life. Willie West, the writer, takes us deeply into a character profile that is unusual, filled with delightful twists and turns. How often do we read about the life of someone who was a “tunnel rat” in Vietnam? It’s here in “Conversations with Likka Sto’ Rufus” along with some additional surprises to whet your imagination and spark an interest in traveling outside of your comfort zone.

Book Synopsis Palm Wine Junction by : Odie Hawkins
Download or read book Palm Wine Junction written by Odie Hawkins and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-04-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palm Wine Junction has several stories reflecting the Pan-African Occult genre. I invite the perceptive reader to determine which stories come from that genre. I would also suggest that the prospective reader should not be led into thinking that the children, beautifully detailed by artist Suchin Lin, on the cover of Palm Wine Junction represent the unusual stories in Palm Wine Junction. The children were chosen, symbolically, to represent ideal readers those who are unbiased, innocent, their imagination still intact, willing to have an experience with unusual stories

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First off I have to say this loud and make it very clear from the very beginning; I am a descendant of one of the royal houses of African-American pimping. Let me add, I am a proud descendant. I know what Im about to tell you is going to rustle some feathers, make no mistake about that, but thats the way its been with me all my pimping life. When I say Im a descendant of one of the royal houses, I mean it. I can back it up with bona fide DNA/geneo-logical evidence. Now then, having said that, I want to make it clear that my economic/sexual activities stem directly from my introduction to The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli and The Kama Sutra, that love treatise for the ages. And, my life long dream to explore an area of human endeavor that has seldom been explained in any reasonable way. Id like to make that the linchpin word for this book, reasonable.

Book Synopsis Matador Negro, Azucar II by : Odie Hawkins
Download or read book Matador Negro, Azucar II written by Odie Hawkins and published by . This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I lit my fire, I greased my skillet with virgin pressed olive oil, and I cooked." That's one of the statements Chester L. Simmons, Jr. made about his career as a Novillero/Matador in the art of bullfighting. It's really weird that it should be called bullfighting. No reasonable person would ever think of fighting a bull who has been bred to fight. Would any reasonable person think of fighting a pit bull who was bred to fight? But I have to ask, are bullfighters reasonable people?
