Download or read book Odd Jobs written by John Updike and published by Random House. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 1025 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To complement his work as a fiction writer, John Updike accepted any number of odd jobs—book reviews and introductions, speeches and tributes, a “few paragraphs” on baseball or beauty or Borges—and saw each as “an opportunity to learn something, or to extract from within some unsuspected wisdom.” In this, his largest collection of assorted prose, he brings generosity and insight to the works and lives of William Dean Howells, George Bernard Shaw, Philip Roth, Muriel Spark, and dozens more. Novels from outposts of postmodernism like Turkey, Albania, Israel, and Nigeria are reviewed, as are biographies of Cleopatra and Dorothy Parker. The more than a hundred considerations of books are flanked, on one side, by short stories, a playlet, and personal essays, and, on the other, by essays on his own oeuvre. Updike’s odd jobs would be any other writer’s chief work.

Download or read book First Jobs written by Merritt Watts and published by Picador. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A future mayor shining shoes, an atheist shilling Bibles, a housewife heading to work during World War II, a now-famous designer getting fired-we all got our start somewhere. A first job may not have the romance of the first kiss or the excitement of a first car, but more than anything else, it offers a taste of true independence and a preview of what the world has in store for us. In The First Jobs, reporter Merritt Watts collects real stories of these early forays into the workforce from a range of eras and industries, and a diversity of backgrounds. For some, a first job is a warm welcome to the working world. For others, it's a rude awakening, but as these stories show, it's an influential, entertaining experience that should not be underestimated. This book transforms what we might think of as a single, unassuming line at the bottom of a résumé into a collection of absorbing tales and hard-earned wisdom to which we can all, for better or worse, relate.

Book excerpt: It's the end of the world as we know it, but someone still needs to do the paperwork. Incomprehensible horrors from beyond are going to devour our world but that's no excuse to get all emotional about it. Morag Murray works for the secret government organisation responsible for making sure the apocalypse goes as smoothly and as quietly as possible. In her first week on the job, Morag has to hunt down a man-eating starfish, solve a supernatural murder and, if she's got time, prevent her own inevitable death. The first book in a new comedy series by the creators of 'Clovenhoof', Oddjobs is a sideswipe at the world of work and a fantastical adventure featuring amphibian wannabe gangstas, mad old cat ladies, ancient gods, apocalyptic scrabble, fish porn, telepathic curry and, possibly, the end of the world before the weekend.
Download or read book Odd Jobs written by Jonathan Krieger and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-21 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jonathan Krieger was a few years out of college, making his living playing online poker, when the US Department of Justice shut the industry down. Unemployed and in debt, he did what any twenty-something in 2011 would do: He started a blog. Specifically, a blog about his new life trying to earn money any way he could. He tested landmine detection technology, delivered singing telegrams, sold his blood, posed as one half of a conjoined twin, auditioned for a gameshow, and, perhaps most harrowing of all, became a substitute teacher. Odd Jobs weaves together tales from the blog with the story of Krieger's life as he struggled to crawl out of the financial abyss and find the one job he might actually want to keep.

Download or read book Odd-Jobs written by Timothy A. Boling and published by T.A.B.. This book was released on 2009-08-19 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meet Nick Stone. The highlight of Nick's day had always been smoking Jane, drinking beer, and causing trouble. Usually all at the same time. But that all changed when Dad woke up with a dead stripper in his bed. This story promises to offend you, insult you and entertain you, all at the same time. In Odd-Jobs, the author holds blatant contempt for literary merit, and the result comes off a little like Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. WARNING: This short novel is not recommended for those who can't take a joke. In this novel, you will find references to guns, drugs, felony crimes and a dead stripper named Sally. You will also find stereotypes toward minorities, and urban youth in-general. You will also find the works of an author who doesn't give a rat's ass about "Literary Value" and who uses Odd-Jobs, his very first novel, to mock the literary community. So in short, if Odd-Jobs doesn't offend you in the first ten pages, then you're probably just as morbid and twisted as the author.
