Book excerpt: Gloria and Treeless Street by Annie Hamilton Donnell is about sheltered Gloria Abercrombie and her quaint life as she navigates Treeless Street and the poverty that abounds. Excerpt: "Gloria sat in her favorite chair on the broad veranda. The shadow of the vines made a delicate tracery over her white dress. Gloria was lazily content. She had been comfortable and content for seventeen years. "There's that queer little thing again, going off with her queer little bag!" Gloria's gaze dwelt on the house across the wide street. Down its steps, a small, neat figure was tripping. Gloria recognized it as an old sight acquaintance."

Book Synopsis The Way It Looks from Here by : Stephen Brunt
Download or read book The Way It Looks from Here written by Stephen Brunt and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-06-11 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first ever anthology of its kind, Canada’s premier sportswriter — Globe and Mail columnist and author of the internationally acclaimed bestseller Facing Ali — brings together the best writing on sport in this country, with a strong contemporary flavour. It’s all here: classic reports on Canada’s great sporting triumphs, from Joe Carter’s World Series–winning home run for the Toronto Blue Jays in 1993 to the excitement of the back-to-back men’s and women’s hockey gold medals in Salt Lake City. Stephen Brunt gives an entire section to writers who, unlike those covering other beats, must work tightly by the clock, submitting their stories just as soon as the action for the day is over. But he has also chosen our best writers’ more thoughtful pieces on our national obsessions — such as Ed Willes on the WHA’s seven tumultuous years and Wayne Johnston on the Original Six — and a good sampling of the great sportswriters such as Trent Frayne, Peter Gzowski and Milt Dunnell. The net effect is an examination of the deep role sport plays in our lives and imaginations, in our sense of self and nationhood. Stephen Brunt has cast his net widely. He includes superb stories of lower profile Canadian sports such as wrestling and horse racing, even Monster Truck battles, and allows space for his own unequalled and unforgettable profiles of Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson, as well as his post-mortem on Ben Johnson’s fall from grace. Full of triumph and heartbreak, great writing and great passions — and a few wonderful surprises — this book will be essential reading for every serious sports fan. Including: • Ian Brown on the stud-horse business • Christie Blatchford on the 2003 Women’s Olympic Hockey Gold • Rosie DiManno on the Men’s • James Christie on Ben Johnson’s 1988 Olympic triumph in Seoul • Michael Faber on Pat Burns • Red Fisher on Lemieux and Gretzky at the 1987 Canada Cup • Trent Frayne on Canadian Open golf champ Ken Green deciding to play Sun City during apartheid • Bruce Grierson on Canada’s best squash player • Peter Gzowski on the Oilers with Gretzky • Tom Hawthorn on John Brophy’s last brawl • Brian Hutchinson on Owen Hart’s widow’s revenge • Wayne Johnston on the Montreal Canadiens • Guy Lawson on curling • Allan Maki on the 1989 Hamilton–Saskatchewan Grey Cup • Dave Perkins on the biggest home run in World Series history • Mordecai Richler on snooker’s Cliff Thorburn • Steve Simmons on Donovan Bailey • Mike Ulmer on Cujo’s charm and more…

Download or read book Abandon written by Blake Crouch and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2023-01-03 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century-old mystery—and a desperate battle to survive—unfold in this standalone thriller from the New York Times bestselling author of Dark Matter and Recursion. On Christmas Day in 1893, every man, woman, and child in a remote mining town disappeared, belongings forsaken, meals left to freeze in vacant cabins, and not a single bone found. Now, journalist Abigail Foster and her historian father have set out to explore the long-abandoned town and learn what happened. With them are two backcountry guides—along with a psychic and a paranormal photographer who are there to investigate rumors that the town is haunted. But Abigail and her companions are about to learn that the town’s ghosts are the least of their worries. Twenty miles from civilization, with a blizzard bearing down, they realize they are not alone. The ordeal that follows will test this small team past the breaking point as they battle the elements and human foes alike—and discover that the town’s secrets still have the power to kill. Part journey into old-West history, part nail-biting survival thriller, Abandon is a bloody, darkly surprising tale as only Blake Crouch could deliver.
Book Synopsis Their Magician and Other Stories by : Gloria Kurian Broder
Download or read book Their Magician and Other Stories written by Gloria Kurian Broder and published by Other Press (NY). This book was released on 2005 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Their Magician is the long-awaited collection of stories by a writer admired by writers from coast to coast. In these fourteen stories, Broder introduces characters and situations that readers will find hard to put out of their minds. In 'The Insult,' Arnold Isaiah Hepplemeyer, an orthodontist, undergoes a crisis when he sees 'Hepplemeyer is an ass' scrawled on a kiosk. In 'Hospitality,' four young women sharing an apartment in Cambridge compete with one another to see who can bring home the most interesting guest, a competition that Penelope assumes she has won when she invites a notorious murderer to dinner. In 'Elena, Unfaithful,' Alexei Sazevitch, a womanizer for decades, causes his wife's death by announcing his retirement, and then must deal with his children's outrage when he informs them that she has not died, but run off with a lover. And in 'The Roofers,' two workers repairing a roof rush to save a man they observe trying to asphyxiate himself in his car. With a combination of comic lightness and gravitas that may remind the reader of Chagall as much as of Chekhov and Cheever, Gloria Kurian Broder shows us what it is like to live in America's cities and suburbs, creating characters who, in the face of loss, loneliness, self-doubt, and others' skepticism and hostility, strive to keep alive the spirit within them.

Book Synopsis The Perfect Fence by : Lyn Ellen Bennett
Download or read book The Perfect Fence written by Lyn Ellen Bennett and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2017-11-15 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Barbed wire is made of two strands of galvanized steel wire twisted together for strength and to hold sharp barbs in place. As creative advertisers sought ways to make an inherently dangerous product attractive to customers concerned about the welfare of their livestock, and as barbed wire became commonplace on battlefields and in concentration camps, the fence accrued a fascinating and troubling range of meanings beyond the material facts of its construction. In The Perfect Fence, Lyn Ellen Bennett and Scott Abbott explore the multiple uses and meanings of barbed wire, a technological innovation that contributes to America’s shift from a pastoral ideal to an industrial one. They survey the vigorous public debate over the benign or “infernal” fence, investigate legislative attempts to ban or regulate wire fences as a result of public outcry, and demonstrate how the industry responded to ameliorate the image of its barbed product. Because of the rich metaphorical possibilities suggested by a fence that controls through pain, barbed wire developed into an important motif in works of literature from the late nineteenth century to the present day. Early advertisements proclaimed that barbed wire was “the perfect fence,” keeping “the ins from being outs, and the outs from being ins.” Bennett and Abbott conclude that while barbed wire is not the perfect fence touted by manufacturers, it is indeed a meaningful thing that continues to influence American identities.
Download or read book The Coast Way written by and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1988 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What attracted Louise Abbott to the windswept landscape of the Lower North Shore of Quebec, where remote, isolated, fishing villages cling to the barren rock of small harbours? Perhaps it was her initial contact as a researcher for the CBC, or childhood memories of Montreal radio reports predicting miserable weather for that inhospitable coast. Fascinated by the place, Abbott spent four years documenting life in fishing villages such as Blanc Sablon, St. Augustine, and Kegaska.
Download or read book Kabul in Winter written by Ann Jones and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2007-03-06 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Soon after the bombing of Kabul ceased, award-winning journalist and women's rights activist Ann Jones set out for the shattered city, determined to bring help where her country had brought destruction. Here is her trenchant report from inside a city struggling to rise from the ruins. Working among the multitude of impoverished war widows, retraining Kabul's long-silenced English teachers, and investigating the city's prison for women, Jones enters a large community of female outcasts: runaway child brides, pariah prostitutes, cast-off wives, victims of rape. In the streets and markets, she hears the Afghan view of the supposed benefits brought by the fall of the Taliban, and learns that regarding women as less than human is the norm, not the aberration of one conspicuously repressive regime. Jones confronts the ways in which Afghan education, culture, and politics have repeatedly been hijacked?by Communists, Islamic fundamentalists, and the Western free marketeers?always with disastrous results. And she reveals, through small events, the big disjunctions: between U.S promises and performance, between the new "democracy' and the still-entrenched warlords, between what's boasted of and what is. At once angry, profound, and starkly beautiful, Kabul in Winter brings alive the people and day-to-day life of a place whose future depends so much upon our own"--
