Book excerpt: Finally, the story that no one would write has been written. The 9th Street Chronicles, by writer William Self, was five years in the making. This remarkable book 'drops salt', i.e. knowledge to the point of understanding, because it is a story about all of us, black, brown and white, male and female, rich and poor, shameless and honorable, making it and faking it. The 9th Street Chronicles draws attention to the many unspoken truths about this infamous 'block', the lives that depended on it, the politics and the cabal that controlled it, and the power that brought it down. Violence, courage, sex for sale, gambling, and murder are intertwined in this story of greed, fear, money and power, laid bare in the riveting accounts by the shakers, makers and players themselves. 9th Street Chronicles draws attention to The Block and the effects it has had on the town, its citizens, the economy, and the United States Army.We see the best and the worst of ourselves then and now. It is rare when the underbelly of a town or city is revealed in such a forthright manner.
Book Synopsis The Chili Cone Chronicles by : Michael Winslow
Download or read book The Chili Cone Chronicles written by Michael Winslow and published by . This book was released on 2010-12 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: InThe Chili Cone Chronicles,Michael Winslow shares his remarkable story of growing up and coming-of-age in a small midwestern town during the tempestuous, whirlwind time of the 1960s. Funny and poignant by turns, Winslow offers a memorable journey through the mayhem as he relies on the comfort of his family, oddball friends, and small-town charm to make everything right in his own little corner of the world. Against a backdrop of calamitous world and national events, Winslow recalls the cocoon of his youth on a sane island at the twilight of corner grocery stores, passenger trains, drive-in movies, and greasy spoons. While it may be true that you can never truly go home again, Winslow's stories awaken the child within, providing glimpses into a fading way of life filled with such delights as eating an ice cream cone filled with hot chili, surfing Suicide Hill in flattened cardboard boxes, and feeling the exhilaration and pulse-quickening excitement that accompanied boxcar running in the dark of night. Thoughtful, warm, and full of hometown vignettes,The Chili Cone Chronicleswill compel the willing to recall their own budding youth—and the events, places and people that were a part of it.
Book Synopsis What's the Matter with Kansas? by : Thomas Frank
Download or read book What's the Matter with Kansas? written by Thomas Frank and published by Picador. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of "our most insightful social observers"* cracks the great political mystery of our time: how conservatism, once a marker of class privilege, became the creed of millions of ordinary Americans With his acclaimed wit and acuity, Thomas Frank turns his eye on what he calls the "thirty-year backlash"—the populist revolt against a supposedly liberal establishment. The high point of that backlash is the Republican Party's success in building the most unnatural of alliances: between blue-collar Midwesterners and Wall Street business interests, workers and bosses, populists and right-wingers. In asking "what 's the matter with Kansas?"—how a place famous for its radicalism became one of the most conservative states in the union—Frank, a native Kansan and onetime Republican, seeks to answer some broader American riddles: Why do so many of us vote against our economic interests? Where's the outrage at corporate manipulators? And whatever happened to middle-American progressivism? The questions are urgent as well as provocative. Frank answers them by examining pop conservatism—the bestsellers, the radio talk shows, the vicious political combat—and showing how our long culture wars have left us with an electorate far more concerned with their leaders' "values" and down-home qualities than with their stands on hard questions of policy. A brilliant analysis—and funny to boot—What's the Matter with Kansas? presents a critical assessment of who we are, while telling a remarkable story of how a group of frat boys, lawyers, and CEOs came to convince a nation that they spoke on behalf of the People. *Los Angeles Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dean Paul Pearson was born in 1964 and is a native of Wichita, Kansas. Born number ten of twelve children, eight boys and four girls, he developed a passion for reading and the great outdoors as means of escape from a crowded farmhouse. Also, being raised on a forty-acre farm on the outskirts of the city allowed Dean, his siblings, cousins, and friends to enjoy acres upon acres of land in which to explore and share in many adventures together. While co-teaching a high school reading class, he began telling his students about his childhood adventures before reading exams. The students enjoyed the stories, which seemed to relieve some of their test anxiety. Naturally, the students began to request a story before each exam. The enjoyment the students received from the stories inspired Dean to write them down...and thus we have volume one of The Farmhouse Chronicles.

Only days before Britain declares war on Germany, Harry Clifton, hoping to escape the consequences of long-buried family secrets, and forced to accept that his desire to marry Emma Barrington will never be fulfilled, has joined the Merchant Navy. But his ship is sunk in the Atlantic by a German U-boat, drowning almost the entire crew. An American cruise liner, the SS Kansas Star, rescues a handful of sailors, among them Harry and the third officer, an American named Tom Bradshaw. When Bradshaw dies in the night, Harry seizes on the chance to escape his tangled past and assumes his identity. But on landing in America, he quickly learns the mistake he has made, when he discovers what is awaiting Bradshaw in New York. Without any way of proving his true identity, Harry Clifton is now chained to a past that could be far worse than the one he had hoped to escape.
