Book excerpt: **Winner - Sweetspot Cycling Book of the Year** For 11 years I was a professional cyclist, competing in the hardest and greatest races on Earth. I was in demand from the world’s best teams, a well-paid elite athlete. But I never won a race. I was the hired help. When my mum dropped me off in a small French town aged 17, I was full of determination to be a professional cyclist, but I was completely green. I went from mowing the team manager’s lawn to winning every amateur race I entered. Then I turned pro and realised I hated the responsibility and pressure of chasing victory. And that’s when I became a domestique. I learned to take that hurt and give it everything I had to give, all for someone else’s win. When the order came in to ride I pushed out with the hardest rhythm I could, dragging the group faster and faster, until my whole body screamed with pain. There were times I rode myself to a standstill, clutching the barrier metres from the line, as the lead group shot past. But that’s what made me a so good at my job. As my career took off, I started looking at the fans lining the route, cheering us like heroes. The passion for cycling oozed off them, but they couldn’t know what it was really like. They didn’t see the terrible hotels, the crazy egos or all the shit that goes with great expectations. Well, this is how it is...

Book Synopsis Suitcase Charlie by : John Z. Guzlowski
Download or read book Suitcase Charlie written by John Z. Guzlowski and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-17 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chicago, May 30, 1956: On a quiet corner in a working-class immigrant neighborhood, a heavy suitcase is discovered on the sidewalk late at night. Inside is the body of a young boy, naked and hacked into pieces. Two hard-drinking Chicago detectives are assigned to the case: Hank Purcell, who still has flashbacks ten years after the Battle of the Bulge, and his partner Marvin Bondarowicz, a wise-cracking Jewish cop who loves trouble as much as he loves booze. Their investigation takes them through the dark streets of Chicago in search of an even darker secret--as more and more suitcases turn up. Praise for Suitcase Charlie Every detective has a case that haunts him. For the Chicago cops Hank Purcell and Marvin Bondarowicz, that would be the "dead kid in the suitcase" whose broken body epitomizes "some kind of evil that was one-of-a-kind, fresh and original down to its buttons." In writing Suitcase Charlie, John Guzlowski was inspired by a true crime that horrified his city in 1955 and retains the power to shock us today. Even the hard-bitten police lieutenant in charge of the fictionalized case is shaken by the singular brutality of the unknown killer... The sheer cruelty of the case's multiple murders demands coarse language, at which Guzlowski excels. But in describing the saintly Sisters of St. Joseph nuns who live near the murder scene as "tough broads, eyes like razors," he lets us know that, back in the day, the city of Chicago was an all-around rough town. Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Suitcase Charlie, a tough-as-rusty-nails police procedural by John Guzlowski, is set in Chicago in the spring of 1956 - when the radio is playing hits by Frank Sinatra and Chuck Berry, many citizens are smoking Chesterfields and Lucky Strikes, and "Dragnet" and "General Electric Theater" are TV favorites. In Mr. Guzlowski's book, the "second city" is being terrorized by a series of child killings in which the small victims are drained of blood, dismembered and stuffed into luggage left in public spaces. Detective Hank Purcell... with his heavy-drinking partner Marvin Bondarowicz, scours the city in search of clues. The duo visit the musty apartment of a reclusive language tutor, the elegant suite of a physicist in the employ of the U.S. government, and the shadowy ghetto lair of a brutal young hoodlum. Each environment seems spookier than the last in a narrative driven by lyrical anxiety. Little by little, Purcell - treading the blurred line between burnout and breakdown - perceives these sickening new crimes as the fruit of diseased notions and lingering hatreds from earlier decades and even centuries. "I thought all of that bad s__ would just disappear when the war ended," Purcell tells his wife. "And it didn't. It's still here." Tom Nolan, The Wall Street Journal John Guzlowski beautifully conjures up the seamy side of the allegedly innocent 1950s with a thrilling serial murder mystery featuring two boozehound detectives. Hank Purcell...and his Jewish partner, Marvin Bondarowicz, have been known to break the rules. Both men are survivors of the mean streets, appealing in their humorous repartee and in their willingness to seek justice, even if insubordination is part of their means to that end. ...The plot moves sure-footedly to a powerful and plausible conclusion. While the mystery and its resolution are powerful, the novel's greatest attractions are the characterizations of the partners and the stunning evocation of time and place in a great American city. In important ways, Chicago is the main character, and Guzlowski gives it muscle, pulse and breath. Philip K. Jason, Jewish Book Council Chicago in 1956 is a tough town, but a boy's dismembered body found stuffed in a suitcase shocks even the toughest detectives in Guzlowski's novel. Hank Purcell and Marvin Bondarowicz are the detectives who catch the case... The detectives question witnesses and possible suspects, but when more bodies are found, their bosses and even Purcell wonder if they'll ever catch the killer. The author grew up in Chicago during the time of the novel, and it shows in his details of places, people, and the prejudices of the era. The author's strongest asset is his dialogue; whether it's the cops talking with each other or neighbors and crooks casually chatting, the talk always rings true... This vivid re-creation of a time and place may not be enough to make Chicago your kind of town. Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book True Sex written by Emily Skidmore and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2021-02-09 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2018 U.S. History PROSE Award The incredible stories of how trans men assimilated into mainstream communities in the late 1800s In 1883, Frank Dubois gained national attention for his life in Waupun, Wisconsin. There he was known as a hard-working man, married to a young woman named Gertrude Fuller. What drew national attention to his seemingly unremarkable life was that he was revealed to be anatomically female. Dubois fit so well within the small community that the townspeople only discovered his “true sex” when his former husband and their two children arrived in the town searching in desperation for their departed wife and mother. At the turn of the twentieth century, trans men were not necessarily urban rebels seeking to overturn stifling gender roles. In fact, they often sought to pass as conventional men, choosing to live in small towns where they led ordinary lives, aligning themselves with the expectations of their communities. They were, in a word, unexceptional. In True Sex, Emily Skidmore uncovers the stories of eighteen trans men who lived in the United States between 1876 and 1936. Despite their “unexceptional” quality, their lives are surprising and moving, challenging much of what we think we know about queer history. By tracing the narratives surrounding the moments of “discovery” in these communities – from reports in local newspapers to medical journals and beyond – this book challenges the assumption that the full story of modern American sexuality is told by cosmopolitan radicals. Rather, True Sex reveals complex narratives concerning rural geography and community, persecution and tolerance, and how these factors intersect with the history of race, identity and sexuality in America.
