Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From an acclaimed and award-winning young writer comes an intensely moving debut collection set in the eye of life’s storms. In Corpus Christi, Texas—a town often hit by hurricanes— parents, children, and lovers come together and fall apart, bonded and battered by memories of loss that they feel as acutely as physical pain. A car accident joins strangers linked by an intimate knowledge of madness. A teenage boy remembers his father’s act of sudden and self-righteous violence. A “hurricane party” reunites a couple whom tragedy parted. And, in an unforgettable three-story cycle, an illness sets in profound relief a man’s relationship with his mother and the odd, shifting fidelity of truth to love. Told in fresh, lyrical voices and taut, inventive styles, these narratives explore the complex volatility of love and intimacy, sorrow and renewal—and expose how often these experiences feel like the opposite of themselves. From the woman whose young son’s uncanny rapport with snakes illuminates her own missed opportunities to the man confronting his wife and her lover in a house full of illegal exotic birds, all the characters here face moments of profound decision and recognition in which no choice is clearly or completely right. Writing with tough humor, deep humanity, and a keen eye for the natural environment, Bret Anthony Johnston creates a world where where cataclysmic events cut people loose from their “regular lives, floating and spiraling away from where we had been the day before.” Corpus Christi is a extraordinarily ambitious debut. It marks the arrival of an important, exquisitely talented voice to American fiction.

Excerpt: ...a few months, then the beautiful horses were loaded on trains and shipped out, and with them went their gentlemen owners with their families, their drivers, jockeys, cleaners and all the riff.raff which follow and disgrace this noble sport. ' Early in the 8o's a couple of herdic coaches were put into commission on the streets, a stable built, and the first pavilion ever erected in Corpus Christi was opened on the beach near the bayou. A skating rink was opened and semiweekly dances were held there. The coaches, or herdies, as we called them, ran daily north and south on Chaparral Street, and on dance or skating nights did a big business. The company owning them, of which our popular townsman, Major H. C. White, was president and manager, spent considerable money in the venture, but after a few months of honest effort abandoned the scheme of establishing cheap transportation. Many years were to pass, much money to be spent, a street railroad to be built and abandoned, the old century to die and the new to be a lusty youngster, aged ten, before a five.cent fare was pay on our streets. But the young people of that day cherish many happy recol 'lections of those times. The first city hack was brought on a few years after the War by the veteran stable owner, John Fogg, and immediately found favor. An election was approaching and one of the candidates scored a point by engaging the only hack in sight to carry his friends to the polls. Things were going fine with him, all his way, until he persuaded a gruff old gentleman to ride to the voting place. Arriving, the old fellow refused to quit without a longer ride. This was re peated over and over. Becoming angry, the candidate attempted force, only to be met by a rather ugly gun. The news...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A favorite destination of visitors to the Texas coast, Corpus Christi is a midsize city that manages to be both cosmopolitan and provincial, networked and local. It is an indispensable provider of urban services to South Texas, as well as a port of international significance. Its industries and military bases and, increasingly, its coastal research institutes give it a range of connections throughout North America. Despite these advantages, however, Corpus Christi has never made it into the first rank of Texas cities, and a keen self-consciousness about the city’s subordinate position has driven debates over Corpus’s identity and prospects for decades. In this masterful urban history—a study that will reshape the way that Texans look at all their cities—Alan Lessoff analyzes Corpus Christi’s place within Texas, the American Southwest, the western Gulf of Mexico, and the U.S.-Mexican borderlands from the city’s founding in 1839 to the present. He portrays Corpus as a place where westward Anglo expansion overwhelmed the Hispanic settlement process from the south, leaving a legacy of conflicting historical narratives that colors the city’s character even now. Lessoff also explores how competing visions of the city’s identity and possibilities have played out in arenas ranging from artwork in public places to schemes to embellish, redevelop, or preserve the downtown waterfront and North Padre Island. With a deep understanding of the geographic, historical, economic, and political factors that have formed the city, Lessoff demonstrates that Corpus Christi exemplifies the tensions between regional and cosmopolitan influences that have shaped cities across the Southwest.

Download or read book The Feast of Corpus Christi written by Barbara R. Walters and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The feast of Corpus Christi, one of the most solemn feasts of the Latin Church, can be traced to the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215 and its resolution of disputes over the nature of the Eucharist. The feast was first celebrated in Liège in 1246, thanks largely to the efforts of a religious woman, Juliana of Mont Cornillon, who not only popularized the feast, but also wrote key elements of an original office. This volume presents for the first time a complete set of source materials germane to the study of the feast of Corpus Christi. In addition to the multiple versions of the original Latin liturgy, a set of poems in Old French, and their English translations, the book includes complete transcriptions of the music associated with the feast. An introductory essay lays out the historical context for understanding the initiation and reception of the feast.
