Having been thrown out of the last possible school, which made that high school number ten. That was just the "high" schools she had been expelled from. We weren't even factoring in her former youth. Her rebellious tendency's get her into more trouble than the trouble is even worth. Being caught, again at school with something she shouldn't have done.

Plastic Ozone Daydream should stimulate your imagination as you cruise through the nostalgic Fifties, blast through the exciting Sixties with a burst of acceleration, and bring the anguish of the Nineties to the surface when your sports car cost more than your first house.

Plastic Ozone Daydream is intended to be both fun to read and challenging to the intellect, taking the reader on a journey he never knew existed— through the crossroads of his own mind.

Download or read book Bang: A Novel written by Daniel Peña and published by Arte Público Press. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uli’s first flight, a late-night joy ride with his brother, changes their lives forever when the engine stops and the boys crash land, with “Texas to the right and Mexico to the left.” Before the accident, Uli juggled his status as both an undocumented immigrant and a high school track star in Harlingen, Texas, desperately hoping to avoid being deported like his father. His mother Araceli spent her time waiting for her husband. His older brother Cuauhtémoc, a former high-school track star turned drop-out, learned to fly a crop duster, spraying pesticide over their home in the citrus grove. After the crash, Cuauhtémoc wakes up bound and gagged, wondering where he is. Uli comes to in a hospital, praying that it’s on the American side of the border. And their mother finds herself waiting for her sons as well as her missing husband. Araceli knows that she has to go back to the country she left behind in order to find her family. In Mexico, each is forced to navigate the complexities of their past and an unknown world of deprivation and violence. Ruthless drug cartels force Cuauhtémoc to fly drugs. “If a brick goes missing, Cuauhtémoc dies. If a plane goes missing, Cuauhtémoc dies. If Cuauhtémoc goes missing, they find Cuauhtémoc (wherever he’s at) and Cuauhtémoc dies.” If they can’t find him, they will kill his mother. They have photos of her in Matamoros to prove they can enforce the threat. Meanwhile, Uli returns to his family’s home in San Miguel and finds a city virtually abandoned, devastated by battles between soldiers, cartels and militias that vie for control. Vividly portraying the impact of international drug smuggling on the innocent, Peña’s debut novel also probes the loss of talented individuals and the black market machines fed with the people removed and shut out of America. Ultimately, Bang is a riveting tale about ordinary people forced to do dangerous, unimaginable things.
Book Synopsis Conversations with Texas Writers by : Frances Leonard
Download or read book Conversations with Texas Writers written by Frances Leonard and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Larry McMurtry declares, "Texas itself doesn't have anything to do with why I write. It never did." Horton Foote, on the other hand, says, "I've just never had a desire to write about any place else." In between those figurative bookends are hundreds of other writers—some internationally recognized, others just becoming known—who draw inspiration and often subject matter from the unique places and people that are Texas. To give everyone who is interested in Texas writing a representative sampling of the breadth and vitality of the state's current literary production, this volume features conversations with fifty of Texas's most notable established writers and emerging talents. The writers included here work in a wide variety of genres—novels, short stories, poetry, plays, screenplays, essays, nonfiction, and magazine journalism. In their conversations with interviewers from the Writers' League of Texas and other authors' organizations, the writers speak of their apprenticeships, literary influences, working habits, connections with their readers, and the domestic and public events that have shaped their writing. Accompanying the interviews are excerpts from the writers' work, as well as their photographs, biographies, and bibliographies. Joe Holley's introductory essay—an overview of Texas writing from Cabeza de Vaca's 1542 Relación to the work of today's generation of writers, who are equally at home in Hollywood as in Texas—provides the necessary context to appreciate such a diverse collection of literary voices. A sampling from the book: "This land has been my subject matter. One thing that distinguishes me from the true naturalist is that I've never been able to look at land without thinking of the people who've been on it. It's fundamental to me." —John Graves "Writing is a way to keep ourselves more in touch with everything we experience. It seems the best gifts and thoughts are given to us when we pause, take a deep breath, look around, see what's there, and return to where we were, revived." —Naomi Shihab Nye "I've said this many times in print: the novel is the middle-age genre. Very few people have written really good novels when they are young, and few people have written really good novels when they are old. You just tail off, and lose a certain level of concentration. Your imaginative energy begins to lag. I feel like I'm repeating myself, and most writers do repeat themselves." —Larry McMurtry "I was a pretty poor cowhand. I grew up on the Macaraw Ranch, east of Crane, Texas. My father tried very hard to make a cowboy out of me, but in my case it never seemed to work too well. I had more of a literary bent. I loved to read, and very early on I began to write small stories, short stories, out of the things I liked to read." —Elmer Kelton
Book Synopsis 30 Day Mental Challenge by : Mitch Horowitz
Download or read book 30 Day Mental Challenge written by Mitch Horowitz and published by Gildan Media LLC aka G&D Media. This book was released on 2023-02-07 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Would You Give to Lead a Bold, Satisfying, and Successful Life? Author Mitch Horowitz (“solid gold”—David Lynch) asks you to give one thing: your mental focus for just 30 days. In The 30-Day Mental Challenge, Mitch guides you through one simple exercise—so simple, in fact, that you may not believe it can change anything. But, like thousands who have tried, you will be surprised. You are to direct your thoughts for 30 days toward what is productive, forwarding, and promising—and to believe that every reasonable ambition is within your reach. That’s it. Simple as it sounds, however, this exercise places you in front of tremendous and unforeseen challenges. Hence, Mitch guides you—with realism, bluntness, and authentic ideals—through each day to help you stay on track, contend with pitfalls (which are many), and witness concrete results. Effort is all it takes. Will you try? Many have said yes only to drop off. Many others have stayed on. Their testimonies appear in the book, including: “I always dismissed the ‘positive thought’ movement as something somehow beneath me, preferring complicated and arduous meditation and nuanced esoteric rituals for my own self-improvement journey…These meditations have been a lifesaver during a very challenging time. No lie.” “This has been transformative beyond expectation.” “The 30-day challenge has helped me overcome so many obstacles and I feel so grateful. Magick is real and man, it is such a beautiful, positive thing!” Your time is now. Join The 30-Day Mental Challenge.
Download or read book Mall Maker written by M. Jeffrey Hardwick and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2015-08-18 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shopping mall is both the most visible and the most contentious symbol of American prosperity. Despite their convenience, malls are routinely criticized for representing much that is wrong in America—sprawl, conspicuous consumption, the loss of regional character, and the decline of Mom and Pop stores. So ubiquitous are malls that most people would be suprised to learn that they are the brainchild of a single person, architect Victor Gruen. An immigrant from Austria who fled the Nazis in 1938, Gruen based his idea for the mall on an idealized America: the dream of concentrated shops that would benefit the businessperson as well as the consumer and that would foster a sense of shared community. Modernist Philip Johnson applauded Gruen for creating a true civic art and architecture that enriched Americans' daily lives, and for decades he received praise from luminaries such as Lewis Mumford, Winthrop Rockefeller, and Lady Bird Johnson. Yet, in the end, Gruen returned to Europe, thoroughly disillusioned with his American dream. In Mall Maker, the first biography of this visionary spirit, M. Jeffrey Hardwick relates Gruen's successes and failures—his work at the 1939 World's Fair, his makeover of New York's Fifth Avenue boutiques, his rejected plans for reworking entire communities, such as Fort Worth, Texas, and his crowning achievement, the enclosed shopping mall. Throughout Hardwick illuminates the dramatic shifts in American culture during the mid-twentieth century, notably the rise of suburbia and automobiles, the death of downtown, and the effect these changes had on American life. Gruen championed the redesign of suburbs and cities through giant shopping malls, earnestly believing that he was promoting an American ideal, the ability to build a community. Yet, as malls began covering the landscape and downtowns became more depressed, Gruen became painfully aware that his dream of overcoming social problems through architecture and commerce was slipping away. By the tumultuous year of 1968, it had disappeared. Victor Gruen made America depend upon its shopping malls. While they did not provide an invigorated sense of community as he had hoped, they are enduring monuments to the lure of consumer culture.
