Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adel, a Christian Lebanese-American, devastated by the religious war in Lebanon and tormented by his Jehovah witness wife, Nadia, in California, got drunk and lost in the dark streets of South Central Los Angeles. He met Lisa, a Jewish blonde American, in a miraculous way. She stormed him up with love and converted his miserable life into a rainbow of happiness. His wife caused him to go to jail. He told his life story in jail to an inmate, John Webb; how his life was a valley of tears and Lisa took him to the new world which he depicted in his dreams. Many strange events occurred during their relationship concerning his wife, daughter Jane, and her son Brian. For Adel, life and death make the first chapter of the book of life and there is no happiness without a true love. Lisa was for him a sphere and all life in rhythmic fragments moved within her. She sang with the days and dreamed with the nights. She walked on the shores of life and the wind of the ocean cannot erase her foot-prints, they will remain forever. She was a sweet thought in the mind of God before he sent her into the world through a womb of a chosen woman.
Book Synopsis In Search of Paradise by : Susan Gabori
Download or read book In Search of Paradise written by Susan Gabori and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 1993-09-09 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Susan Gabori has woven the narrative of each character in the Pace family from interviews she conducted with Italian immigrants and their families to present an illuminating picture of people who, faced with a seemingly insensitive environment, must find a way to survive without sacrificing their dignity and pride. Each person finds a different way to hold on to some of the old while adapting to the new. With In Search of Paradise Gabori promotes a deeper understanding of and respect for the immigrant experience. The characters given a voice are Vincenzo, the father, Teresa, his wife, and their children, Franco, Roberto, Angelina, and Michele. Separated by Vincenzo's search for work in Libya and later by World War II, when the children are sent to a fascist school in Northern Italy and Vincenzo is sent to fight the British in Africa, they attempt to retain the bonds of family and culture. Reunited after the war, the economic climate in Italy forces Vincenzo and Franco to leave for Canada in 1950 in search of a better future. They are eventually joined by the rest of the family in Toronto.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moon in Your Sky: An Immigrant’s Journey Home brings to life the remarkable story of Annah Emuge. Growing up in Uganda under the rule of Idi Amin, Annah and her peers faced hardships few of us can imagine, living with the constant threat of soldiers breaking into their homes, raiding and pillaging as they pleased. Annah found strength in her relationship with her mother, Esther, and in her relationship with God. Esther encouraged Annah to educate herself and “go out into the world.” Annah’s faith led her to James, an evangelical preacher who became her husband. The two left Uganda for the United States when James received a scholarship to study at Ohio University, only to be stranded there with two small children when the Ugandan government collapsed. The loss of his dreams, along with the realities of American life for African immigrants, proved to be more than James could withstand, and he succumbed to alcoholism. How Annah overcame the trials she endured in the land she had thought would hold only promise for her and her family is a riveting story of perseverance that will inspire any reader. Annah’s sorrows give depth to the great joys she experiences as she not only survives but triumphs, working to make both of her countries better places.

Book excerpt: Meet Kindra Dean, the Library Director in the small town of Orangedale, Massachusetts. While it’s not a very prestigious job, it quite frankly is all she has. Unless of course you add in her dingy apartment. Kindra has no life to really speak of; just the same old repetition, day after day. Anti-social and depressed, Kindra is wracked with guilt over the death of her younger sister many years ago; a guilt which has kept her enslaved for way too many years, far too long. But then something happens that changes her life forever... Tiana moves in downstairs. Known as “T” to her friends, she is the boisterous, outspoken, masculine lesbian who is just what Kindra needs to pull herself out of her melancholy spirit of discontent. To free her from herself… Let us also meet Tommy Shannon, a pissed-at-the-world wheelchair-bound fellow who wants nothing but to be left alone in his own miserable world of self-pity and pornography. Tommy’s Irish mother will have none of that, and arranges a meeting for Tommy and Kindra. This rendezvous turns out to be both disastrous and hilarious, but it ultimately changes their lives, forever. Kindra and Tommy have both experienced their own personal winters, but now spring has come...and they are finally in bloom.

Book Synopsis Highbrow, Lowbrow, Brilliant, Despicable by : The Editors of New York Magazine
Download or read book Highbrow, Lowbrow, Brilliant, Despicable written by The Editors of New York Magazine and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-11-07 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York, the city. New York, the magazine. A celebration. The great story of New York City in the past half-century has been its near collapse and miraculous rebirth. A battered town left for dead, one that almost a million people abandoned and where those who remained had to live behind triple deadbolt locks, was reinvigorated by the twinned energies of starving artists and financial white knights. Over the next generation, the city was utterly transformed. It again became the capital of wealth and innovation, an engine of cultural vibrancy, a magnet for immigrants, and a city of endless possibility. It was the place to be—if you could afford it. Since its founding in 1968, New York Magazine has told the story of that city’s constant morphing, week after week. Covering culture high and low, the drama and scandal of politics and finance, through jubilant moments and immense tragedies, the magazine has hit readers where they live, with a sensibility as fast and funny and urbane as New York itself. From its early days publishing writers like Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Breslin, and Gloria Steinem to its modern incarnation as a laboratory of inventive magazine-making, New York has had an extraordinary knack for catching the Zeitgeist and getting it on the page. It was among the originators of the New Journalism, publishing legendary stories whose authors infiltrated a Black Panther party in Leonard Bernstein’s apartment, introduced us to the mother-daughter hermits living in the dilapidated estate known as Grey Gardens, launched Ms. Magazine, branded a group of up-and-coming teen stars “the Brat Pack,” and effectively ended the career of Roger Ailes. Again and again, it introduced new words into the conversation—from “foodie” to “normcore”—and spotted fresh talent before just about anyone. Along the way, those writers and their colleagues revealed what was most interesting at the forward edge of American culture—from the old Brooklyn of Saturday Night Fever to the new Brooklyn of artisanal food trucks, from the Wall Street crashes to the hedge-fund spoils, from The Godfather to Girls—in ways that were knowing, witty, sometimes weird, occasionally vulgar, and often unforgettable. On “The Approval Matrix,” the magazine’s beloved back-page feature, New York itself would fall at the crossroads of highbrow and lowbrow, and more brilliant than despicable. (Most of the time.) Marking the magazine’s fiftieth birthday, Highbrow, Lowbrow, Brilliant, Despicable: 50 Years of New York draws from all that coverage to present an enormous, sweeping, idiosyncratic picture of a half-century at the center of the world. Through stories and images of power and money, movies and food, crises and family life, it constitutes an unparalleled history of that city’s transformation, and of a New York City institution as well. It is packed with behind-the-scenes stories from New York’s writers, editors, designers, and journalistic subjects—and frequently overflows its own pages onto spectacular foldouts. It’s a big book for a big town.
Download or read book The Mirror Dance written by Susan Krieger and published by Susan Krieger. This book was released on 1983 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A day draws to a close. Helen worries about when her children will get home; Gloria considers her day at work and, again, thoughts cross her mind about telling them at church that she is a lesbian; Gayle prepares for a meeting at the Women's Shelter...; Ellen gets ready for a class. Chip and Jessica plan another party at their house; Diana paces her kitchen, troubled that Meg still intends to see Bronwyn...." These are some of the people who come to life in this unique book about a lesbian community. It is an experiment, both in women's language and in social science method, and is composed of an interplay of voices that echo, again and again, themes of self and community, sameness and difference, merger and separation, loss and change. Although the method of presentation is unusual, the book is based on solid research. The author lived for a year with the community and then spent two intensive months interviewing 78 women who were either members of the community or importantly associated with it. The author began by addressing several basic questions about privacy that quickly led her to explore dilemmas of identity. In time an even more compelling problem emerged: the loss of sense of self, how it occurs and how it may be dealt with in a social setting. The nature of the community itself raised this issue because it was a community of likeness, intimacy, and ideology. It was also a stigmatized or deviant community--and of women, individuals with life experiences that tended to encourage the giving up of the self to others. The book is organized around particular kinds of situations and relationships in the community where conflicts concerning control over identity are especially prominent. It concludes with an essay on the author's method, "Fiction and Social Science." Author note: Susan Krieger is Visiting Scholar, Department of Sociology, Stanford University.
