Book Synopsis Dinosaurs on Other Planets by : Danielle McLaughlin
Download or read book Dinosaurs on Other Planets written by Danielle McLaughlin and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For fans of Alice Munro, Anne Enright, and William Trevor comes a stunning debut collection from a deeply original writer and observer of love, betrayal, and turning points in ordinary peoples’ lives. In a raw seacoast cabin, a young woman watches her boyfriend go out with his brother, late one night, on a mysterious job she realizes she isn’t supposed to know about. A man gets a call at work from his sister-in-law, saying that his wife and his daughter never made it to nursery school that day. A mother learns that her teenage daughter has told a teacher about problems in her parents’ marriage that were meant to be private—problems the mother herself tries to ignore. McLaughlin conveys these characters so vividly that readers will feel they are experiencing real life. Often the stories turn on a single, fantastic moment of clarity—after which nothing can be the same. Danielle McLaughlin is a writer of unparalleled precision and uncommon imagination. In her deft hands, ordinary people are transformed and surprising truths are suddenly understood. Praise for Dinosaurs on Other Planets “Dinosaurs [on Other Planets] marks the stateside debut (in book form, at least—a number of these already have appeared in The New Yorker) of Danielle McLaughlin, a writer of exceptionally deep empathy in the naturalistic tradition of John McGahern and Claire Keegan but with a knack for keen, and often disturbing, observation all her own.”—LitHub “McLaughlin’s immersive first collection casts a stern eye on individuals, couples, and families caught in nets of their own making, where even the mildest passion can lead to death, and journeys home with new lovers can reveal grim secret lives. . . . The title story, which opens up into an ambiguous ending rather than tying its strands up neatly, show[s] the ample bag of tricks McLaughlin has at her disposal.”—Publishers Weekly “Danielle McLaughlin’s short story collection Dinosaurs on Other Planets is a near perfect, enormously promising debut. . . . McLaughlin’s subject matter and themes are serious, undercut brilliantly by a sly strain of pitch-black humor. . . . A brilliant, quietly disturbing debut story collection [that] portrays Irish characters in the uncertain wake of the recent financial crisis.”—Shelf Awareness “In her collection, [McLaughlin] focuses on fraught relationships and those sudden, illuminating moments that can light up ordinary lives.”—Library Journal “This is not a debut in the usual sense, a promise of greater things to come. There is no need to ask what Danielle McLaughlin will do next—she has done it already. This book has arrived. I think it will stay with us for a long time.”—Anne Enright, Man Booker Prize–winning author of The Green Road “Danielle McLaughlin’s stories seethe, beneath elegant prose, with unfamiliar insights and entirely original observations. Only an author who loves what human beings are can so compassionately reveal them in all their flawed, gorgeous contradictions and communicate unmistakable joy while doing so. How glad I am to read this impressive new writer! Her fiction is a gift we need.”—Robin Black, author of Life Drawing

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The McLaughlins are prominent members of a settlement of Scottish immigrants who emigrated to the still-wild prairies of Iowa. As the story begins, their eldest son, Wully, returns to the family farm after serving in the Union Army during the Civil War. But much has changed in his absence: the girl who once returned his love, Chirstie, now appears cold, fearful, and traumatized, and won’t meet his eye. Wully seeks to discover what happened to her during his absence, and what he can do to set things right, without having Chirstie lose her standing in their tight-knit and very religious Presbyterian community. Margaret Wilson grew up on a farm in the small town of Traer, and her understanding of the land and its people infuses this, her first novel. The Able McLaughlins won the Harper Novel Prize on publication and then the Pulitzer Prize in 1924. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.

Pervus dies and Selina is forced to take over working on the farm to give Dirk a future.

Download or read book Margaret Wilson - The Able McLaughlins written by Margaret Wilhelmina and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Margaret Wilhelmina Wilson was born on the 16th January 1882 in Traer, Iowa. Her early years were spent on the family farm before she enrolled at the University of Chicago and obtained degrees in 1903 & 1904. On graduating she became a missionary for the United Presbyterian Church of North America and was sent to the Punjab in India to work at a girl's school and then a hospital. Illness meant a return home in 1910. She would spend the next few years at the divinity school of The University of Chicago and to teach at West Pullman High School. She also took care of her invalided father and wrote a number of short stories which were published in various magazines including the Atlantic Monthly. Many of these explored the role of religion and the secondary status of women in society. In 1923 she won a $2000 writing prize offered by Harper & Brothers. That same year she married George Douglas Turner, who she had met in India 19 years before. Turner was a tutor at Brasenose College, Oxford and later the warden of Dartmoor Prison. She was now to live in England. In 1924 she was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for her novel 'The Able McLaughlins' She continued to write, using in various novels, her experiences of all those years before in India and to continue to explore women's role in society although, at times, her critics were apt to label her work as melodramatic. Her interest in penal reform provoked a non-fiction study 'The Crime of Punishment' (1931) and also influenced two of her eight adult novels, 'The Dark Duty' (1931) and 'The Valiant Wife' (1933). Her final work was a children's book 'The Devon Treasure Mystery' (1939). Margaret Wilhelmina Wilson died on the 6th October 6, 1973.
Book Synopsis Sex, Power and the Folly of Marriage in Womenäó»s Novels of the 1920s by : Judy Cornes
Download or read book Sex, Power and the Folly of Marriage in Womenäó»s Novels of the 1920s written by Judy Cornes and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2015-10-30 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Americans experienced great social change in the decade following World War I. They were restless, often discontented, searching for the good life—the one promised to the generation who, cheered on by patriotic slogans and propaganda, enlisted to fight on European battlefields. While young writers such as Hemingway and Fitzgerald romanticized the lives of Americans in postwar Europe and the U.S., a number of women authors in the 1920s looked through a darker lens. The novels of Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, Margaret Wilson, Edna Ferber, Ellen Glasgow, Dorothy Scarborough and Dawn Powell—set mainly in the 19th century—searched the past for the origins of postwar upheaval, especially with respect to the status of women. Today, a few iconic male novelists of the 1920s are synonymous with the spirit and culture of the Jazz Age. This book focuses on their female contemporaries—largely neglected by both critics and readers—who remain relevant for their exploration of timeless social and psychological themes, the battle of the sexes and its tragic consequences.

Book excerpt: Written by Rebecca McLaughlin, Author of Confronting Christianity In a world of increasing ideological diversity, kids are being challenged to think through their own beliefs at an early age. Questions like How can you believe the Bible is true?; Why can't we just agree that love is love?; and Isn't Christianity against diversity? can seem like roadblocks for kids who are following Jesus, as well as for those who might otherwise consider faith in Christ. In this helpful book—written both for Christian kids and for those who think Jesus is just a fairy tale character—Rebecca McLaughlin invites readers ages 12–15 to dig deep into hard questions for themselves and perhaps discover that the things that once looked like roadblocks to faith might actually be signposts.
