Heralded for writing “deeply memorable . . . women” (Jennifer Senior, New York Times), Nicole Dennis-Benn introduces readers to an unforgettable heroine for our times: the eponymous Patsy, who leaves her young daughter behind in Jamaica to follow Cicely, her oldest friend, to New York. Beating with the pulse of a long-withheld confession and peppered with lilting patois, Patsy gives voice to a woman who looks to America for the opportunity to love whomever she chooses, bravely putting herself first. But to survive as an undocumented immigrant, Patsy is forced to work as a nanny, while back in Jamaica her daughter, Tru, ironically struggles to understand why she was left behind. Greeted with international critical acclaim from readers who, at last, saw themselves represented in Patsy, this astonishing novel “fills a literary void with compassion, complexity and tenderness” (Joshunda Sanders, Time), offering up a vital portrait of the chasms between selfhood and motherhood, the American dream and reality.

Book Synopsis The Fictional Christopher Nolan by : Todd McGowan
Download or read book The Fictional Christopher Nolan written by Todd McGowan and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Memento and Insomnia to the Batman films, The Prestige, and Inception, lies play a central role in every Christopher Nolan film. Characters in the films constantly find themselves deceived by others and are often caught up in a vast web of deceit that transcends any individual lies. The formal structure of a typical Nolan film deceives spectators about the events that occur and the motivations of the characters. While Nolan's films do not abandon the idea of truth altogether, they show us how truth must emerge out of the lie if it is not to lead us entirely astray. The Fictional Christopher Nolan discovers in Nolan's films an exploration of the role that fiction plays in leading to truth. Through close readings of all the films through Inception, Todd McGowan demonstrates that the fiction or the lie comes before the truth, and this priority forces us to reassess our ways of thinking about the nature of truth. Indeed, McGowan argues that Nolan's films reveal the ethical and political importance of creating fictions and even of lying. While other filmmakers have tried to discover truth through the cinema, Nolan is the first filmmaker to devote himself entirely to the fictionality of the medium, and McGowan discloses how Nolan uses its tendency to deceive as the basis for a new kind of philosophical filmmaking. He shows how Nolan's insistence on the priority of the fiction aligns his films with Hegel's philosophy and understands Nolan as a thoroughly Hegelian filmmaker.

Book excerpt: Master burglar Francis Hoyt is on the run. After walking away from his arraignment in a Connecticut courtroom, he’s now a fugitive who has to figure out what he’s going to do with the rest of his life. And so, he heads west, to Los Angeles, where he meets Dakota, a young true crime podcaster who happens to be doing a series on Hoyt. At the same time, he’s approached by a mysterious attorney who makes Hoyt an offer he can’t refuse: break into a “mob bank,” and liberate the contents. Praise for MAN ON THE RUN: “One part heist movie, one part psychological thriller, three parts great character and blend. Salzberg’s superb Man on the Run will keep your head spinning from the first page to the last.” —Reed Farrel Coleman “Smart, sly and compelling, with a fascinating main character—the very definition of intelligent suspense.” —Lee Child “Man on the Run grips you from the opening page and doesn’t let go. The plot will leave you breathless with anticipation as a master burglar and a crime podcaster try to outwit and outmaneuver each other before an outrageous heist. There’s nothing better than smart characters, with smart dialogue, going head-to-head. You won’t want to miss a twist or turn.” —Michael Wiley, Shamus Award-winning author of the Sam Kelson mysteries “Francis Hoyt, Charles Salzberg’s brilliant burglar anti-hero from Second Story Man, is back on the prowl in Man on the Run. Old-school crime meets the podcast age as Hoyt tangles with a true-crime reporter as well as fellow felons and the law. Like his hero, Salzberg is a total pro who always brings it home.” —Wallace Stroby, author of Heaven’s a Lie “Charles Salzberg is a genius at not only crafting a helluva page-turner of a heist novel, but he also manages to make the reader care about Francis Hoyt, master burglar and pathological narcissist. Hoyt is the man on the run, and the story of how he eludes the law, the mob, and a retired cop who has become his personal nemesis packs a solid punch and leaves you rooting for the guy who’d steal your family jewels without breaking a sweat.” —James R. Benn, author of the Billy Boyle World War II mystery series “When it comes to Charles Salzberg’s work, you can expect a hard-edged story, crisp dialogue, and memorable characters. This is certainly true—and then some!—in his latest, Man on the Run. Featuring master burglar Francis Hoyt, a tough and intelligent criminal who can’t seem to turn down tempting criminal scores, despite the inherent danger, Man on the Run features a true-crime podcast host, a criminal fence, and an investigator hot on the trail of Francis Hoyt as his most challenging and dangerous burglary comes into play. Very much recommended.” —Brendan DuBois, award-winning and New York Times bestselling author “It’s a battle of wits and nerves as a cop, a robber, and a journalist dance around one another, weaving a tapestry of deceit and suspense. Salzberg’s dialogue flows like water until it finds truth in this most entertaining read.” —Matt Goldman, New York Times bestselling author

Book Synopsis Lbj the Dallas Incident by : Dr. John Chandler Griffin
Download or read book Lbj the Dallas Incident written by Dr. John Chandler Griffin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kennedy Incident November 22, 2013 will mark the 50th anniversary of the greatest crime ever committed in this great nation, the assassination of John F. Kennedy, the president of the United States. Then, two days later the man accused of having committed that crime, Lee Harvey Oswald, was also murdered, shot down in the Dallas Police Headquarters by mob thug Jack Ruby. The nation was aghast. How could such things happen in 20th century America? Ah, but not to worry. President Lyndon Baines Johnson immediately announced the appointment of a blue-ribbon committee, chaired by none other than the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Earl Warren, to discover just how such murders could have happened in Dallas, Texas in I963. Known as the Warren Commission, it was a committee whose judgment could not be questioned. But then a year later the WC issued its report (known as the Warren Commission Report) and almost immediately citizens from one end of the country to the other were yelling questions-chard questions that insulted both the WC's judgment and its objectivity. As though that were not bad enough, A few months later a New York attorney, Mark Lane, hired by Oswald's mother to vindicate her son, published his myth-shattering book, Rush To Judgment. The Warren Commission was blown out of the water. But still no satisfactory answers were forthcoming. Lyndon Baines Johnson and his political sycophants were very happy to blame Oswald for the entire tragedy. Anyone but themselves. Then in New Orleans rose a new challenge. District Attorney Jim Garrison began his investigation into the murders. But again the Federal Government reared its ugly head. State governors across the nation were advised to ignore subpoenas to testify in Garrison's trial. And in almost every instance those governors obeyed their orders. Other essential witnesses simply "committed suicide." Garrison himself was pilloried and held up to ridicule by the national news media. Still he persisted. In the end, with no witnesses [0 testify, Garrison's trial ended in not guilty verdicts. Still. after 50 years he remains the only person ever to bring anyone to trial for the murders that occurred in Dallas some fifty years ago. In this book, based on the evidence and testimony associated with the murders of Kennedy and Oswald, I have tried to present events as they actually occurred and show who was truly behind them. And I do so with no apologies to anyone. I will say that my heart goes out to Marina Oswald and her two daughters June Lee and Rachel. May God be with them.
