Book Synopsis Strings and Rindabytes by : Niall Herriott
Download or read book Strings and Rindabytes written by Niall Herriott and published by Paragon Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an offbeat and darkly comic take on life, love and lunacy. These twenty-four quite diverse short stories will keep you turning the pages. There is the eccentric Italian whose mission is to spread the laughing virus. There is the unfortunate young Cork-man and his gender-bending experiences of other dimensions. There is a parody of the style of a famous novelist, set in the Spanish Civil War. There is a mind-boggling take on the events of 9/11 and a teenager's family rite of passage as he explores the unanswered questions about those world-changing events. And there are other quirky stories with some memorable characters and unexpected twists. There are also fourteen selected poems and pieces of verse scattered through the book, with some seething satire, the odd touch of lyricism and occasional food for thought
Download or read book C Day-Lewis written by Peter Stanford and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2007-07-27 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poet, translator of classical texts , novelist, detective writer (under the pen-name Nicholas Blake), performer and, at that time , Professor of Poetry at Oxford, C Day-Lewis had many careers all at once. This first authorized biography tells the private story behind the many headlines that this handsome Anglo-Irish Poet Laureate generated in his lifetime. Day-Lewis made his name as one of the 'poets of the 1930s', launching a communist-influenced poetic revolution alongside W. H. Auden and Stephen Spender that aspired to spark wholesale political change to face down fascism. In the 1940s, 'Red Cecil', as he had become known, broke with communism, and with Auden. He went on to produce some of his most popular and enduring verse, reflecting both on the course of the Second World War and on the breakdown of his first marriage. Day-Lewis was always pulled between a fulfilling domestic life and a restless desire to explore. His travels, his infidelities and his reflections on his Irish roots are all part of the rich and many-faceted life that Peter Stanford describes. It is, however, as a poet that he is best remembered, and the poetry itself, often autobiographical, forms an integral part of this biography.
Download or read book Snakepit written by Moses Isegawa and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praised on both sides of the Atlantic as well as in the author’s native Uganda, Moses Isegawa’s first novel Abyssinian Chronicles was a “big, transcendently ambitious book” (Boston Globe) that “blasts open the tidy borders of the conventional novel and redraws the literary map to reveal a whole new world” (Elle). In Snakepit, Isegawa returns to the surreal, brutalizing landscapes of his homeland during the time of dictator Idi Amin, when interlocking webs of emotional cruelty kept tyrants gratified and servants cooperative, a land where no one–not husbands or wives, parents or lovers–is ever safe from the implacable desires of men in power. Men like General Bazooka, who rues the day he hired Cambridge-educated Bat Katanga as his “Bureaucrat Two”–a man too good at his job–and places in his midst (and his bed) a seductive operative named Victoria, whose mission and motives are anything but simple. Ambitious and acquisitive, more than a little arrogant, Katanga finds himself steadily boxed in by events spiraling madly out of control, where deception, extortion, and murder are just so many cards to be played.

Book Synopsis Under the Avalanche by : Anne McCabe
Download or read book Under the Avalanche written by Anne McCabe and published by PubliBook Ireland. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A story of secrets buried deep in the hills of County Wicklow An avalanche buries a family in an isolated cottage, condemning the ghost of a new-born child to wander alone in the haunted hills of Wicklow. Three generations of women, each hostage to the repercussions of a smouldering secret none of them dares reveal. Two families from either side of the social divide, brought together by hatred, unrequited love and mortal sin. They should have nothing in common, but fate intervenes in their lives with shocking consequences. A ruined hut at the foot of the mountain – an unlikely place of innocence, lust, betrayal, and birth that finally releases the secret ghost of the past. Anne McCabe has written a heartfelt story of Ireland from the 1940’s to the 80’s, and the secret shame that has befallen so many women whose only sin was to dare to fall in love. «…a superb sustained début of elegant artistry.» Ken Bruen, award-winning author of international best-sellers.

Book Synopsis Show Me the Prisoner by : Patricia Farren
Download or read book Show Me the Prisoner written by Patricia Farren and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2002-11-20 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Show Me the Prisoner is written from the perspective of a prison teacher who later served on the prison monitoring body. It covers a 15-year period of involvement in two of Northern Ireland’s prisons during the troubles, when terrorists hogged the limelight. They met in prison where she taught classes. Now estranged from his family, the young man had spent most of his life either in care or in one or other of Northern Ireland’s prisons. She set out to help him. He knuckled down and achieved a university place. Time done, he could move on. But was it all too good to be true? ‘Hah,’ predicted a prison officer, ‘If yous teachers think yous are going to change any of them boys, let me tell you...’ Headlines appeared in newspapers and on radio branding him ‘Ulster’s most feared prisoner’, predicting that one day Charlie Conlon would kill somebody. ‘Hannibal’, they dubbed him. Convinced he was the victim of institutional racism and sectarianism, Charlie believed he was guilty only of the rage of the powerless and the downtrodden. Witnessing how the system treated him, did he have a point? A meeting with his mother and brother and an internet search for relatives in the USA threw interesting new light on his father’s tour in Vietnam. It was then that his mother became evasive. On her deathbed mother and son were reconciled, and for the first time Charlie learned his true identity. But was it all too late?Show Me the Prisoner is a criminal justice memoir of Irish interest that will appeal to readers who enjoy social history. Patricia is inspired by Sister Helen Prejean’s Dead Man Walking, a story she would love to have written.

Book Synopsis Negligent Behaviour by : Josepha Madigan

Book excerpt: Sassy solicitor Helene has spent the last few years getting what she wants and who she wants. Rising through the ranks of a high profile Dublin law firm, she has professional as well as sexual recognition. Her story is set against the last groans of the celtic tiger. She works among, has relationships with, and represents the movers and shakers who created it. Privy to the machinations of the top legal firm, Helene goes on a voyage of self discovery of both her own motivations and those of her profession. We learn how she rationalises the two, and whether they can ever be reconciled. As truths gradually emerge in her private life, an unstoppable chain of events are set in motion in her professional life. Do the legal structures so long the buttresses of all she believed protect her? Can she defend a profession that has nurtured her, or will she bite the hand that feed her? Josepha Madigan segues with ease between the legal and emotional worlds of her heroine, Helene. Set amongst recent Irish recognisable legal scandals, Helene's tragic story of love and loss is a fictionalised expose of the moral dilemmas we frequently address. This is a no holds barred insider and explosive view of the Dublin legal scene. On this voyage of discovery with Helene, we learn not only a bit more about choices we all make, but also how a life can compound or confront these mistakes.
