Book Synopsis At Home in the World by : Joyce Maynard
Download or read book At Home in the World written by Joyce Maynard and published by Picador. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author of Labor Day With a New Preface When it was first published in 1998, At Home in the World set off a furor in the literary world and beyond. Joyce Maynard's memoir broke a silence concerning her relationship—at age eighteen—with J.D. Salinger, the famously reclusive author of The Catcher in the Rye, then age fifty-three, who had read a story she wrote for The New York Times in her freshman year of college and sent her a letter that changed her life. Reviewers called her book "shameless" and "powerful" and its author was simultaneously reviled and cheered. With what some have viewed as shocking honesty, Maynard explores her coming of age in an alcoholic family, her mother's dream to mold her into a writer, her self-imposed exile from the world of her peers when she left Yale to live with Salinger, and her struggle to reclaim her sense of self in the crushing aftermath of his dismissal of her not long after her nineteenth birthday. A quarter of a century later—having become a writer, survived the end of her marriage and the deaths of her parents, and with an eighteen-year-old daughter of her own—Maynard pays a visit to the man who broke her heart. The story she tells—of the girl she was and the woman she became—is at once devastating, inspiring, and triumphant.

Book Synopsis The Great Gatsby: A Graphic Novel Adaptation by : F. Scott Fitzgerald
Download or read book The Great Gatsby: A Graphic Novel Adaptation written by F. Scott Fitzgerald and published by Candlewick Press. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sumptuously illustrated adaptation casts the powerful imagery of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s great American novel in a vivid new format. From the green light across the bay to the billboard with spectacled eyes, F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 American masterpiece roars to life in K. Woodman-Maynard’s exquisite graphic novel—among the first adaptations of the book in this genre. Painted in lush watercolors, the inventive interpretation emphasizes both the extravagance and mystery of the characters, as well as the fluidity of Nick Carraway’s unreliable narration. Excerpts from the original text wend through the illustrations, and imagery and metaphors are taken to literal, and often whimsical, extremes, such as when a beautiful partygoer blooms into an orchid and Daisy Buchanan pushes Gatsby across the sky on a cloud. This faithful yet modern adaptation will appeal to fans with deep knowledge of the classic, while the graphic novel format makes it an ideal teaching tool to engage students. With its timeless critique of class, power, and obsession, The Great Gatsby Graphic Novel captures the energy of an era and the enduring resonance of one of the world’s most beloved books.

The book also features a foreword by Alex Grey, an American visionary artist and longtime friend of Keenan. Accompanying the text are photos of Keenan from childhood to the present. Maynard's story is a metaphor for the reader's own evolution and an encouragement to follow one's dreams, hold fast to individual integrity, and work ceaselessly to fulfill our creative potential.
Download or read book Monk’s Music written by Gabriel Solis and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Gabriel Solis's study of Thelonious Monk's legacy energizes an important development in jazz studies. Respectful of Monk and his musical heirs, Solis nevertheless offers insights on Monk myth-building by opposing jazz camps in which both moldy figs and avant-gardists claim him as their own. Moving beyond exploding these turf battles, Solis comes to deep realizations about jazz as a practice. This will become an often-cited work, even a transformative one."—Steven F. Pond, author of Head Hunters: The Making of Jazz's First Platinum Album (winner of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music's Woody Guthrie Prize)

Book Synopsis Sight Readings by : Alan John Ainsworth
Download or read book Sight Readings written by Alan John Ainsworth and published by Intellect (UK). This book was released on 2022-01-17 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A revelatory look at the photography that shaped the American jazz age. In this book, Alan John Ainsworth considers the work of a range of American jazz photographers from the turn of the twentieth century through the Jazz Age and into the 1960s. Drawing on extensive archival research, Ainsworth examines jazz as a visual subject, explores its attraction to different types of photographers, and analyzes why and how they approached the subject in the ways they did. While some of the photographers are widely recognized today, the volume also explores lesser-known figures of the period--including African American photojournalists, studio photographers, early twentieth-century emigres, and Jewish exiles of the 1930s--whose contributions are often overlooked. Informed by ideas from contemporary photographic theory and with a foreword by Darius Brubeck, Sight Readings is a wide-ranging, eye-opening new look at twentieth-century jazz photography and the people behind it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: **Contains Mature Content** Amelia considered herself sophisticated and savvy; she'd raised three sons on her own while working in new product development, internationally. A sudden illness sidelines her and she returns, unexpectedly, to her home town, Attaway, in south Louisiana. The allure of a strong, sexy man who takes her hunting and fishing and introduces her to a new way of life seems intoxicating. In reality, it is toxic. She is not aware that she is a mark for a nest of borderlines who need another meal ticket, fast. Her fiance's father is dying. She aids him and shares her own experience of seeing Heaven. In the meantime, evil and its attendant, bad, surround her. Her purity and grace protect her, like an amulet, and she escapes repeated close brushes with destruction. Amelia, along with her friend, Huelo (undercover FBI task force, unbeknownst to Amelia, ) uncover a web of evil deeds by locals who abuse their power and prestige. The University, court house, and a youth detention center harbor VIP's for a global pedophile and child sex trafficking ring. The Sheriff, D.A. and a senator tell her to keep her mouth shut, and burn the evidence, unless she wants to be found floating face up in The Little Indian River. "They will kill you," she is warned, repeatedly. Instead of following this advice, Amelia retreats to the white isle of Ibiza. She unravels the facade protecting the real culprits, and returns to Attaway in the nick of time, to stop the evil acts, and to save her friend on the night of the Red Mass. A crop duster as deus ex machina and others she has convinced that the evil is real align to ensure that justice prevails, with a twist. To experience the world Amelia inhabits is terrifying, but her great heart and strong spirit keep her going through one hardship after another, making this a marvelous, mystical and empowering journey we take with her, growing along the way.
