Book Synopsis You Are a Complete Disappointment by : Mike Edison
Download or read book You Are a Complete Disappointment written by Mike Edison and published by Union Square + ORM. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A fine storyteller, quick and witty” explores his relationship with his verbally abusive father in a memoir at once hilarious and heartbreaking (Booklist). “You are a complete disappointment.” On his deathbed, Mike Edison’s father gasped those words to his son—and that was just the beginning of his devastating salvo. For anyone who has ever suffered from parental bullying, this often-hilarious yet intensely heartbreaking memoir from the former High Times publisher will provide both solace and laughter. It begins with a child’s hunger for love and acceptance and continues through years of withering criticism, perverse expectations, and unfounded competition from a narcissistic father who couldn’t tolerate his son’s happiness and libertine spirit. In the end, the author unravels a relationship that could never be fixed—but perhaps didn’t need to be. In the spirit of Augusten Burroughs by way of Jeannette Walls, Edison’s memoir is a candid, devastating, and deeply funny read. “[The author] gives the heavy stuff appropriate weight without letting it pull down the lighter moments, like his father’s memorable outburst over a meatball pizza. Edison’s soul-searching creates a moving tribute to being oneself.” —Booklist “His candor and honesty will no doubt connect with many readers who also feel doomed to fail their fathers. Edison’s own demonstration of the long, difficult, but sometimes humorous road toward compassion will pave the way for others to follow in his footsteps.” —Rain Taxi
Book Synopsis The Great Disappointment by : Salman Anees Soz
Download or read book The Great Disappointment written by Salman Anees Soz and published by Ebury Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government completes its current term ahead of the General Elections 2019, it is time to evaluate its performance, specifically in terms of its management of the economy. This book is a critical assessment of five years of the brand of economics Prime Minister Narendra Modi has championed, often referred to as 'Modinomics'. Brought into power with the biggest political mandate in almost three decades, did the NDA government succeed in gainfully transforming India's economic trajectory or did it squander a once-in-a-generation opportunity? The book conjectures it is the latter, and analyses why the Modi government's stewardship of the economy is a 'great disappointment'.
Book Synopsis A Short Film About Disappointment by : Joshua Mattson
Download or read book A Short Film About Disappointment written by Joshua Mattson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An ingenious novel about art and revenge, insisting on your dreams and hitting on your doctor, told in the form of 80 movie reviews In near-future America, film critic Noah Body uploads his reviews to an underread content aggregator. His job is dreary routine: watch, seethe, pan. He dreams of making his own film, free of the hackery of commercial cinema. Faced with writing on lousy movies for a website that no one reads, Noah smuggles into his reviews depictions of his troubled life on the margins. Amid his movie reviews, we learn that his apartment in the vintage slum of Miniature Aleppo has been stripped of furniture after his wife ran off with his best friend--who Noah believes has possessed his body. He's in the middle of an escalating grudge match against a vending machine tycoon with a penchant for violence. And he's infatuated with a doctor who has diagnosed him with a "disease of thought." Exhausted by days spent watching flicks featuring monks with a passion for rock and roll and slashers featuring rampaging hairdressers, Noah is determined to create his own masterpiece: a filmed meditation on art-with-a-capital-A, written by, directed by, and starring himself. Set in a wildly imaginative and uncannily familiar world of nanny states and extreme rationing, Safe Zones and New Koreas, A Short Film About Disappointment is an uproarious story of trying to keep it together in turbulent times. Joshua Mattson is a debut novelist with a rotten wit and the creative vision of a hyperactive child.

Book Synopsis Forms of Disappointment by : Lanie Millar
Download or read book Forms of Disappointment written by Lanie Millar and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes parallel developments in post–Cold War literature and film from Cuba and Angola to trace a shared history of revolutionary enthusiasm, disappointment, and solidarity. In Forms of Disappointment, Lanie Millar traces the legacies of anti-imperial solidarity in Cuban and Angolan novels and films after 1989. Cuba’s intervention in Angola’s post-independence civil war from 1976 to 1991 was its longest and most engaged internationalist project and left a profound mark on the culture of both nations. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Millar argues, Cuban and Angolan writers and filmmakers responded to this collective history and adapted to new postsocialist realities in analogous ways, developing what she characterizes as works of disappointment. Revamping and riffing on earlier texts and forms of revolutionary enthusiasm, works of disappointment lay bare the aesthetic and political fragmentation of the public sphere while continuing to register the promise of leftist political projects. Pushing past the binaries that tend to dominate histories of the Cold War and its aftermath, Millar gives priority to the perspectives of artists in the Global South, illuminating networks of anticolonial and racial solidarity and showing how their works not only reflect shared feelings of disappointment but also call for ethical gestures of empathy and reconciliation. Lanie Millar is Assistant Professor of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Oregon.

Book Synopsis Disappointment River by : Brian Castner
Download or read book Disappointment River written by Brian Castner and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1789, Alexander Mackenzie traveled 1200 miles on the immense river in Canada that now bears his name, in search of the fabled Northwest Passage that had eluded mariners for hundreds of years. In 2016, the acclaimed memoirist Brian Castner retraced Mackenzie's route by canoe in a grueling journey -- and discovered the Passage he could not find. Disappointment River is a dual historical narrative and travel memoir that at once transports readers back to the heroic age of North American exploration and places them in a still rugged but increasingly fragile Arctic wilderness in the process of profound alteration by the dual forces of globalization and climate change. Fourteen years before Lewis and Clark, Mackenzie set off to cross the continent of North America with a team of voyageurs and Chipewyan guides, to find a trade route to the riches of the East. What he found was a river that he named "Disappointment." Mackenzie died thinking he had failed. He was wrong. In this book, Brian Castner not only retells the story of Mackenzie's epic voyages in vivid prose, he personally retraces his travels, battling exhaustion, exposure, mosquitoes, white water rapids and the threat of bears. He transports readers to a world rarely glimpsed in the media, of tar sands, thawing permafrost, remote indigenous villages and, at the end, a wide open Arctic Ocean that could become a far-northern Mississippi of barges and pipelines and oil money.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “No human relationship is without betrayal, irritation and annoyance, but Kushner makes clear that it’s what we do about such obstacles that matter” (Los Angeles Times Book Review) in this best-selling guide to being your best self, even when things don’t turn out as you’d hoped. The beloved author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People, Rabbi Harold S. Kushner here turns to the experience of Moses to find the requisite lessons of strength and faith—the lessons that teach us how to overcome the disappointments that life inherently brings. We can learn how to meet all disappointments with faith in ourselves and the future, and how to respond to heartbreak—how to weather the disillusionment of dreams unfulfilled, the pain of a lost job, divorce or abandonment, illness, and more—with understanding rather than bitterness and despair. With Kushner’s signature warmth, Overcoming Life’s Disappointments is a book of spiritual wisdom—as practical as it is inspiring.

Download or read book Expectation written by Interns and published by The Little Booktique Hub. This book was released on with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.” -Sylvia Plath Expectations are the strong belief that something will happen or be the case. More than anything else, our expectations determine our reality and impact those around us. In a self-fulfilling prophecy, people may rise or fall depending on their expectations and beliefs. This anthology will discuss the disillusionment brought by our expectations. Recognizing the paradox of expectations, the invaluable lesson of learning about sufferings from disenchantments, and coming to a deeper understanding at the crux of the illusion of life, has encouraged the writers to share their stories. Through their work, they have portrayed that when we start to experience and understand the freedom in letting go of unrealistic expectations and embracing gratitude and the present. It doesn’t suddenly make the gap between what we have and what we want disappear, but it does allow us to regain our happiness. It also creates space in our head. Space that’s no longer absorbed by negative emotions and hostile thoughts. Learning to accept what is rather than what should be is powerful. Thus, enforcing the idea that the antidote to expectations may be cultivating gratitude. When we learn to let go of our unrealistic expectations, an open road unfolds right in front of us. One full of new possibilities, ready and waiting for us to create your own path.

Book Synopsis Altered Dreams... by : Ma Katherine Asbery
Download or read book Altered Dreams... written by Ma Katherine Asbery and published by . This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hearing "It's a BOY!" should have brought me great joy, but instead, it brought me months of anger and denial as well as a lot of sadness and shame at times. I wanted to experience raising a daughter as well as my sons. What did I do so wrong that I was not allowed to parent both genders? Why was I denied this life experience? How did I suddenly become the brunt of many jokes and strange looks just because I had the privilege to be raising only sons? Altered Dreams is an inspirational writing for parents who may be experiencing disappointment in the gender of their unborn child. Through my years both as a mother and a psychologist, this issue of gender disappointment has come up over and over. Yet, no one wants to write or talk about it where we can all come together on even ground. Gender disappointment has psychological impact on all facets of one's life. As I share my journey, and those of others, from despair to acceptance after the birth of my third son, you will realize that you are not alone in this way of thinking or feeling. What you feel is real, and there are ways to handle your disappointment effectively. Most importantly, you will realize you no longer have to suffer alone.
