Book Synopsis Little Reef and Other Stories by : Michael Carroll
Download or read book Little Reef and Other Stories written by Michael Carroll and published by University of Wisconsin Pres. This book was released on 2014-06-16 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little Reef and Other Stories announces the arrival of an original voice in literature. From Key West to Maine, Michael Carroll’s debut collection of stories depicts the lives of characters who are no longer provincial but are not yet cosmopolitan. These women and their gay male friends are “B-listers” of a new, ironic, media-soaked culture. They live in a rich but increasingly divided America, a weirdly paradoxical country increasingly accepting of gay marriage but still marked by prejudice, religious strictures, and swaths of poverty and hopelessness. Carroll shows us people stunned by the shock of the now, who have forgotten their pasts and can’t envision a future.

Book Synopsis Edmund White’s A Boy’s Own Story: The Graphic Novel by : Edmund White
Download or read book Edmund White’s A Boy’s Own Story: The Graphic Novel written by Edmund White and published by Top Shelf Productions. This book was released on 2023-03-29 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark American novel, hailed by the New York Times as J.D. Salinger crossed with Oscar Wilde, is masterfully reimagined as a timeless graphic novel. A Boy’s Own Story is a now-classic coming-of-age story, but with a twist: the young protagonist is growing up gay during one of the most oppressive periods in American history. Set in the time and place of author Edmund White’s adolescence, the Midwest of the 1950s, the novel became an immediate bestseller and, for many readers, was not merely about gay identity but the pain of being a child in a fractured family while looking for love in an anything-but-stable world. And yet the book quickly contributed to the literature of empowerment that grew out of the Stonewall riots and subsequent gay rights era. Readers are still swept up in the main character’s thoughts and dry humor, and many today remain shocked by the sexually confessional, and bold, nature of his revelations, his humorous observations, the comic situations and scenes the strangely erudite youthful narrator describes, the tenderness of his loneliness, and the vivid aching of his imagination. A Boy’s Own Story is lyrical, witty, unabashed, and authentic. Now, to bring this landmark novel to new life for today’s readers, White is joined by co-writers Brian Alessandro and Michael Carroll and artist Igor Karash for a stunning graphic novel interpretation. The poetic nuances of White’s language float across sumptuously painted panels that evoke 1950s Cincinnati, 1980s Paris, and every dreamlike moment in between. The result is a creative adaptation, in collaboration with Closure Creative, of the original 1982 A Boy’s Own Story with additional personal and historical elements from the authors’ lives.

Download or read book Parade written by Michael Graves and published by STORGY Books. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Parade is a pop lit gem. With neon prose, Graves weaves a tale of two heroes, Reggie and Elmer, who are trying to sort out the mess that is America. Government, religion, civic responsibility, general kindness. The lessons in Parade might just be the answer.” – James Frey – Author of A Million Little Pieces, Bright Shiny Morning and The Last Testament Reggie Lauderdale suffers from a crisis of faith. His cousin, Elmer Mott, dreams of becoming their hometown mayor. Both boys are stuck in suburbia trying to be adults ... but they aren’t sure how to be themselves yet. When a twist of fate sends them fleeing in a stolen limousine, the cousins escape to Florida where they meet a retired televangelist, who inspires them on a path of glitzy sermons and late-night parties. But are the celebrations sincere or deceptive? And who is keeping tabs? Who is watching? Parade is a tour-de-force, comic tale of faith and friendship. “Michael Graves is one of those super rare storytellers who is magically able to write with wisdom, poignancy, and dark wit. Paradeis a joy to read – it plums the troubles, foibles, and disconnects of our world in an incredibly timely and wonderfully timeless way that’s hilarious, steely-eyed, and hopeful.” – John Jodzio – Author of Knockout and If You Lived Here You’d Already Be Home “Michael Graves’ Parade is a tipsy Southern gothic with a Northern accent, featuring a classic array of characters. Graves has a knack for captivating dialogue, and his ease with comedy and drama, sometimes in the same scene, earns this literary road-movie-in-a-limo-spectacle a well-deserved confetti and ticker tape shower.” – Gregg Shapiro – Author of How to Whistle: Stories – Expanded Edition “Parade is a madcap blasphemous Bildungsroman that is equal parts zany and profane. And ultimately, profound. Say your prayers before climbing into this stolen limo because everything is about to change.” – Josh Denslow – Author of Not Everyone is Special “Michael Graves has written a comic yarn that will both make you laugh and move you to tears. Reggie and Elmer are the queer Thelma and Louise I never knew I needed, complete with sexy Jesus-dreams, grand theft auto, and a retired televangelist. Y’all don’t want to miss this wild yarn – a true triumph!” – Nick White – Author of How to Survive a Summer and Sweet and Low Michael Graves is the author of Parade and Dirty One, a collection of short stories which was a Lambda Literary Award Finalist and an American Literary Association Honouree. Michael’s fiction has been published in numerous literary publications. He can be found online at www.michaelgravesauthor.com @MGravesauthor

Book Synopsis Miss Grief and Other Stories by : Constance Fenimore Woolson
Download or read book Miss Grief and Other Stories written by Constance Fenimore Woolson and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To celebrate her forthcoming biography of Constance Fenimore Woolson, Anne Boyd Rioux has selected the best of this classic writer’s stories. Constance Fenimore Woolson (1840–1894) was one of the few nineteenth-century women writers considered the equal of her male peers. Harper & Brothers was so enamored of her work that the firm agreed to publish whatever she could write. In this gathering, Rioux has chosen fiction over the course of Woolson’s life, including “In Sloane Street,” never published since it first appeared in Harper’s Bazaar. Woolson’s stories travel from the rural Midwest to the deep South and then across the Atlantic to Italy and England. Her strong characters and indelible settings provide continuity throughout this collection as do her concerns with passion, creativity, imagination, and the demands of society. Whether portraying the keeper of a Union soldiers’ cemetery in the defeated South, a woman writer whose genius goes unrecognized, or the ex-pat denizens of Florence, Woolson’s deft characterization and subtlety create a broad landscape of Americans and their ways no matter where they lived.

Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
