Book excerpt: A Picador Paperback Original On a radiant day in Sydney, four adults converge on Circular Quay, site of the iconic Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge. Crowds of tourists mix with the locals, enjoying the glorious surroundings and the play of light on water. But just as Circular Quay resonates with Australia's past, each of the four carries a complicated history from elsewhere. Each person is haunted by past secrets and guilt. Ellie is preoccupied by her sexual experiences as a girl, James by a tragedy for which he feels responsible, Catherine by the loss of her beloved brother in Dublin, and Pei Xing by her imprisonment during China's Cultural Revolution. Told over the course of a single Saturday, Five Bells describes four lives that come to share not only a place and a time but also mysterious patterns and ambiguous symbols, including a barely glimpsed fifth figure, a young child. By nightfall, when Sydney is drenched in a summer rainstorm, each life will have been transformed by the events of this day.

These patterns serve both to cause strong empathetic connections with characters and to impel viewers to form relationships with the show, explaining their extreme devotion.

Book Synopsis Slay the Four Plagues by : John H. Cox
Download or read book Slay the Four Plagues written by John H. Cox and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a business leader with a track record of success, Cox stood against the political establishment to run for Governor of California. What he learned is that the system—consisting of both parties, as well as the media/big business axis that props up cronies of the political establishment—is fully rigged to prevent independent-minded candidates from gaining traction. Hear the People is the organization he’s launched to promote real electoral reform, that will empower regular people to have unprecedented influence on, and access to, the electoral process—all while working within the existing framework of the U.S. Constitution. There is general agreement among voters that our electoral system suffers from the Four Plagues: special interest influence; big media control; negative campaigning; and extreme partisan voices. The huge media driven campaigns required by today’s increasingly large population districts are the primary reason for the Four Plagues. Cox proposes a bold, far reaching, effective reform that would make all campaigns for the U.S. House of Representatives personal, not driven by media or money. This reform can be legally implemented and will empower the people, making the House of Representatives truly the People’s House as our Founders intended. As we celebrate the 250th birthday of America, a rebirth of our democracy is just what we need. This book is Cox’s manifesto for reform. Equal parts passion and remarkably practical, Hear the People will usher in a new phase of America’s political life, giving voice to the millions of citizens crying out for meaningful change.
Download or read book Bern Book written by Vincent O. Carter and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-17 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bern Book is a travelogue, a memoir, a “diary of an isolated soul” (Darryl Pinckney), and a meditation on the myth and reality of race in midcentury Europe and America. In 1953, having left the US and settled in Bern, Switzerland, Vincent O. Carter, a struggling writer, set about composing a “record of a voyage of the mind.” The voyage begins with Carter’s furiously good-humored description of how, every time he leaves the house, he must face the possibility of being asked “the hated question” (namely, Why did you, a black man born in America, come to Bern?). It continues with stories of travel, war, financial struggle, the pleasure of walking, the pain of self-loathing, and, through it all, various experiments in what Carter calls “lacerating subjective sociology.” Now this long-neglected volume is back in print for the first time since 1973.

Book Synopsis Life of a Bishop's Assistant by : Viktor Shklovsky
Download or read book Life of a Bishop's Assistant written by Viktor Shklovsky and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-21 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life of a Bishop's Assistant is a "rewritten" biography of the 18th century historical figure, Gavriil Dobrinin. The son of a priest, he became an assistant to a bishop before being fortunate to rise all the way to gubernia procurator. Despite the obscurity of Dobrinin, it is Shklovsky's narration of his story that takes center stage. Like Zoo, or Letters Not About Love, Life of a Bishop's Assistant is a notable example of experimentation with narrative form in the early twentieth century by one of its leading theorists.
Book Synopsis Teethmarks on My Tongue by : Eileen Battersby
Download or read book Teethmarks on My Tongue written by Eileen Battersby and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-09 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The gunning down of her mother in a Richmond street sets young Helen Stockton Defoe on a journey of self-discovery. A physical feature she had first noticed when she was nine years old has made her feel apart and she has quietly capitalized on the privilege, never mind the aura, which surrounds her. She lives in her head and fills her thoughts – and days – with science, horses and art. The more intently she begins to observe her remote, detached father, the more she learns about her place within the rarefied world she inhabits. Just when it appears she is at last becoming closer to him, it all falls apart as he coldly undermines her abiding passions, which causes her to question the identity she has created. Her rebellion leads her to Europe on a disturbing path dominated by chance and an evolving self-realization. As a result of these experiences she gains an ability to feel deeply, something from which she had always felt somehow excluded. This most unusual coming-of-age novel with its impressive characterization, humor and vivid sense of place takes its clever, if barely street-wise and increasingly obsessive, teenaged narrator on a physical as well as psychological journey towards an astute, hard fought, and deserved, maturity.
Book Synopsis The Disappearance of Jim Sullivan by : Tanguy Viel
Download or read book The Disappearance of Jim Sullivan written by Tanguy Viel and published by Deep Vellum Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tanguy Viel's parody/pastiche of the American novel is subtle and experimental; it tells a story at the same time as it implicitly poses questions about the narrative structure it is deploying." —The French Review In The Disappearance of Jim Sullivan, disappearance is both a theme and a stylistic device. Indeed, this publication narrates the disappearance of Dwayne Koster, who, fascinated by the story of Jim Sullivan, commits suicide in the New Mexico desert which was the setting of the rocker’s disappearance in 1975. But this novel is for the most part set in the metanarrative tale of its own genesis, and, as a result, is partially eclipsed: its -fictitious- author doesn’t relate it in its entirety and keeps adding bits and pieces of first drafts and preliminary sketches to his text, thus blurring its boundaries. Tanguy Viel’s work can therefore be perceived as a double response, existential and aesthetic, to the question of the end.
