Download or read book The Snow Ball written by Brigid Brophy and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Anna is kissed by a mysterious stranger at a NYE masquerade ball , a dance of seduction begins. 'So original and refreshing.' Hilary Mantel 'Brilliantly seductive ... A witty, sexy, sophisticated treat.' Sarah Waters 'Superb ... Sheer artistic insolence.' Iris Murdoch 'A great novel ... A swirling, sumptuous, sensual feast.' Guardian London, New Year's Eve. Snow falls on a Georgian mansion, vibrating with the festivities of a masquerade ball within. Middle-aged divorcee Anna stands alone - until the clock chimes midnight and a mysterious figure kisses her on the mouth. Thus begins a dance of seduction charged by clandestine romances swirling around them, whipping the ball into an frenzy of operatic proportions - until the night climaxes, revealing unease beneath the glitter ... A scandalous sensation in 1964, Brigid Brophy's The Snow Ball is ripe to seduce a new generation of readers. 'I read it in one sitting ... Wonderful!' Claire-Louise Bennett 'A feminist remodelling of libertine fervour and passion. ' Eley Williams 'One of the wittiest British writers of the past half century ... A comet in her day.' Terry Castle What Readers Are Saying: An ornate masterpiece. Sensual, wicked, clever; its dark heart glittering. So pleasurable and original and weird. Takes the heady, lusty, excitement that comes with new love and mingles it with the exuberance, decadence, and hedonism of NYE ... A short swirling treat. A perfect little masterpiece, an opera in paperback ... I was seduced and I hoped and I flinched and I laughed and I admired. The lovechild of Angela Carter and Virginia Woolf: trippy and fluid, existential and erotic, funny and witty: a hedonistic comedy of manners. I think I love this crazy little book .. Super sexy ... Made me hoot out loud with glee for the language and audacity. Oh man, this was a lot of fun. Such a strong sense of intelligence and wit behind every sentence.

Download or read book The Experimentalists written by Joseph Darlington and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-18 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Experimentalists is a collective biography, capturing the life and times of the British experimental writers of the swinging 1960s. A decade of research, including as-yet unopened archives and interviews with the writers' colleagues, is brought together to produce a comprehensive history of this ill-starred group of renegade writers. Whether the bolshie B.S. Johnson, the globetrotting Ann Quin, the cerebral Christine Brooke-Rose, or the omnipresent Anthony Burgess, these writers each brought their own unique contributions to literature at a time uniquely open to their iconoclastic message. The journey connects historical moments from Bletchley Park, to Paris May '68, to terrorist groups of the 1970s. A tale of love, loss, friendship and a shared vision, this book is a fascinating insight into a bold, provocative and influential group of writers whose collective story has gone untold, until now.

Book excerpt: A quaint, rendition of a classic, children’s tale about a mother sow, her three, little piglets and, of course, one big, bad wolf. Think, maybe, you’ve read this story before? Well, think again! Set in the warm climate of the desert southwest, this remarkable journey unfolds when the three piglets, after growing to become legitimate, young adults, decide they must leave home and begin productive lives of their own. Choosing separate paths, each pig faces the unremorseful challenges and the demanding conditions of civilized, everyday living. Depending on individual choices, sometimes the difficulties of life, can be remedied, resolved, or simply avoided altogether. But, sometimes life can become just a little too difficult to manage; especially when there’s a big, bad wolf involved! Follow the three, little pigs through this amazing rollercoaster of a ride, filled with horror, drama and suspense, with a twist and a turn on just about every corner.

Download or read book In Transit written by Brigid Brophy and published by Dalkey Archive Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Set in an airport ("one of the rare places where twentieth-century design is happy with its own style"), In Transit is a textual labyrinth centering on a contemporary traveller. Waiting for a flight, Evelyn Hillary O'Rooley suffers from uncertainty about his/her gender, provoking him/her to perform a series of unsuccessful, yet hilarious, philosophical and anatomical tests. Brigid Brophy surrounds the kernel of this plot with an unrelenting stream of puns, word games, metafictional moments and surreal situations (like a lesbian revolution in the baggage claim area) that challenge the reader's preconceptions about life and fiction and that remain endlessly entertaining.

Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Prize 2008 The Snowball is the first and will be the only biography of the world's richest man, Warren Buffett, written with his full cooperation and collaboration. Combining a unique blend of "The Sage of Omaha's" business savvy, life story and philosophy, The Snowball is essential reading for anyone wishing to discover and replicate the secrets of his business and life success. Warren Buffett is arguably the world's greatest investor. Even as a child he was fascinated by the concept of risk and probability, setting up his first business at the age of six. In 1964 he bought struggling Massachusetts textile firm Berkshire Hathaway and grew it to be the 12th largest corporation in the US purely through the exercise of sound investing principles - a feat never equalled in the annals of business. Despite an estimated net worth of around US$62 billion, Buffett leads an intriguingly frugal life taking home a salary of only £50,000 a year. His only indulgence is a private jet, an extravagance he wryly acknowledges by calling it "The Indefensible". In 2006, he made the largest charitable donation on record, with most of it going to the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The Snowball provides a comprehensive, richly detailed insight one of the world's most extraordinary and much loved public figures.

Download or read book Big Bosses written by Althea McDowell Altemus and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Dishy, witty and a ton of fun . . . [a] document of everyday life and work in 20th century America from a perspective that is all too rarely seen” (Chicago Tribune). In her memoir, Big Bosses, Althea Altemus vividly recounts her life as a secretary for prominent—but thinly disguised—employers in Chicago, Miami, and New York during the late teens and 1920s. Alongside her, we rub elbows with movie stars, artists, and high-profile businessmen, and experience lavish estate parties that routinely defied the laws of Prohibition. Beginning with her employment as a private secretary to James Deering of International Harvester, whom she describes as “probably the world’s oldest and wealthiest bachelor playboy,” Altemus tells us much about high society during the time, taking us inside Deering’s glamorous Miami estate, Vizcaya, an Italianate mansion worthy of Gatsby himself. Later, we meet her other notable employers, including Samuel Insull, president of Chicago Edison; New York banker S. W. Straus; and real estate developer Fred F. French. Altemus was also a struggling single mother, a fact she had to keep secret from her employers, and she reveals the difficulties of being a working woman at the time through glimpses into women’s apartments, their friendships, and the dangers—sexual and otherwise—that she and others faced. Throughout, Altemus entertains with a tart and self-aware voice that combines the knowledge of an insider with the wit and clarity of someone on the fringe. “Big Bosses stands as a real contribution to our understanding of the history of working women in Jazz Age America.” —The Wall Street Journal “Remarkable . . . Altemus recounts the wildest indiscretions of her employers between 1918 and 1925.” —Booklist
