Download or read book Oddjobs written by Heide Goody and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 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 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.

He escapes that first meeting with just a traffic ticket as well as a major crush on the woman who is six inches taller whom he nicknames "Officer Beautiful." After just a month of knowing her, Marty asks Chick to marry him, and against all hope, she giggles and agrees. But Chick quickly grows frustrated with his laziness and oddities. Then, one night, coming home from his latest job as a projectionist at a movie theater, Marty crashes his Flxible Flxette Buick limousine. In the shower of sparks, glass and twisted metal, he has an epiphany: he will film his own movie and prove to Chick that he's a man worth having. It isn't long, however, before Marty finds himself pursued by a group of angry investors and other unintended victims of his latest scheme. He'll have a lot of explaining to do if he wants to get out of his latest pinch and keep the woman of his dreams in "Odd Jobs."

Download or read book Odd Jobs written by Tony Duvert and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This series of 23 satirically scabrous short texts introduces the reader to an imaginary French suburb via the strange, grotesque small-town occupations that defined a once reliable, now presumably vanished way of life. A catalog of job descriptions that range from the disgusting functions of "The Snot-Remover" and "The Wiper" to the shockingly cruel dramas enacted by "The Skinner" and "The Snowman," Odd Jobs evinces an outrageous, uncomfortable and savage sense of humor. Through these narratives somewhere between parody and prose poem, Duvert assaults parenthood, priesthood and neighborhood in this mock handbook to suburban living: Leave It to Beaver as written by William Burroughs. Tony Duvert (1945-2008) earned a reputation as the "enfant terrible" of the generation of French authors known for defining the postwar Nouveau Roman. Expelled from school at the age of 12 for homosexuality (and then put through a psychoanalytic "cure" for his condition), Duvert declared war on family life and societal norms through a controversial series of novels and essays (whose frequent controversial depictions of child sexuality and pedophilia often led his publisher to sell his works by subscription only). He won the Prix Medicis in 1973 for his novel Strange Landscape. His reputation faded in the 1980s, however, and he withdrew from society. He died in 2008.
