Book Synopsis The Tattooed Heart & My Name is Rose by : Theodora Keogh
Download or read book The Tattooed Heart & My Name is Rose written by Theodora Keogh and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tattooed Heart finds June Grey dreaming a summer alone with her grandmother in a large isolated house at Grey's Neck on the Long Island shore. Wooded hills surround the house and gives way to beach and sea. It is there she meets Ronny, a young man still firmly anchored in the fantasies of childhood. The young couple becomes cruelly caught in the complicated motives and desires of their elders as their erotic summer draws to a close. My Name Is Rose is an equal mix of journal entry and conventional narrative. Keogh's novel is an unwavering "examination of conscience" by a young wife whose marriage is breaking up after seven years. Original in perception, story, and a highly personal idiom, My Name is Rose is an enthralling work alive with the mystery and pulsating quality of life.

Book Synopsis Still Life with Insects by : Brian Kiteley
Download or read book Still Life with Insects written by Brian Kiteley and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1989 by Ticknor & Fields, Brian Kiteley's Still Life with Insects is the intensely focused chronicle of Elwyn Farmer, an amateur entomologist, who uses the field notes of his insect sightings to examine and reweave the tattered fragments of his life. In a series of visually powerful and emotionally breathtaking vignettes Kiteley distills the transient beauty of the natural world and lays bare the suffering and joy of one man's life from his maturity in the post–war years to very old age in the 19809's. His striking narrative technique aptly captures the experience we all have as we struggle to make sense of what it means to be human in the face of the inevitable passage of time.
Download or read book The Unsettling written by Peter Rock and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Populated by strangers, ghosts, and other shadowy figures, the thirteen stories in The Unsettling attend to those startling moments when what we have understood as familiar is suddenly revealed as mysterious and foreign. A lonely man saving library books from an outbreak of mold listens to a coworker's tale about a blind woman and imbues it with his own sense of romance; a woman drives a Gold Firebird through the desert with a television playing "Rockford Files" reruns on the passenger seat; and a girl returns to her childhood home to spy on its new inhabitants, not realizing they are aware of her surveillance; a Poe–obsessed medical examiner constructs ornate scenes in an attempt to provoke hope in the forgotten lives of a dark and desperate city. Told through Rock's imaginative and wholly original voice, these are haunted tales about fascination, transformation, and the relationship between the two.
Book Synopsis Memoirs of a Not Altogether Shy Pornographer by : Bernard Wolfe
Download or read book Memoirs of a Not Altogether Shy Pornographer written by Bernard Wolfe and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2016-03-01 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this funny and telling portrait of the artist as a young pornographer, Bernard Wolfe chronicles his own unlikely entrance into the world of letters. The year was 1936, and Depression laden America had no great need for a Yale Phi Bete whose primary talent was for words. After working variously as a secretary–bodyguard for Leon Trotsky in Mexico, a cataloger of the Irving Fisher papers, and a hopelessly inept drill–grinder, Wolfe landed his first professional writing job: turning out piecework porn at $2.00 a page for an Oklahoma millionaire. He credited his pornographic efforts with teaching him to write to specified lengths while facing deadlines: "I acquired the work discipline of a professional writer, capable of a solid daily output."

O'Rourke effectively evokes the sights, sounds and smells of the cowboy way presenting an unvarnished glimpse into this vanished way of life.
Book Synopsis The Old Man at the Railroad Crossing and Other Tales by : William Maxwell
Download or read book The Old Man at the Railroad Crossing and Other Tales written by William Maxwell and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these tales, with one foot firmly planted in the present, Maxwell brings a certain sophisticated urbanity to the oral traditions of the fable and fairy tale. "The total effect is of something midway between the Brothers Grimm and Kafka, with perhaps a touch of Zen." (NYRB April 1966) While modern enough in locale and context, they are as old as humanity itself in what concerns them. And always that voice, the age old voice of the storyteller, the eternal magic of the speaking human voice. Such simplicity takes true artistry and Maxwell has that in spades.
Download or read book Doctor Glas written by Hjalmar Soderberg and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stark, brooding, and enormously controversial when first published in 1905, this astonishing novel juxtaposes impressions of fin–de–siècle Stockholm against the psychological landscape of a man besieged by obsession. Lonely and introspective, Doctor Glas has long felt an instinctive hostility toward the odious local minister. So when the minister's beautiful wife complains of her husband's oppressive sexual attentions, Doctor Glas finds himself contemplating murder. A masterpiece of enduring power, Doctor Glas confronts a chilling moral quandary with gripping intensity.
Book Synopsis Having Everything Right by : Kim Stafford
Download or read book Having Everything Right written by Kim Stafford and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essays first published in 1986, Having Everything Right revolves around the history, folklore, and physical beauty of the Pacific Northwest. In terms of genre the book comes closest to books like Wallace Stegner's Wolf Willow or the essay collections of Edward Abbey and Wendell Berry, books that blend personal vision and regional evocation. Stafford's essays in this tradition range from the direct exploration of "A Walk in Early May" to the abstract meditation of "Out of This World with Chaucer and the Astronauts," to the familial and social reflections of "The Great Depression as Heroic Age." Animating them all is the sense that there is joy in knowing the world–and the belief that true knowing brings, as Stafford says, "a change of heart." Stafford writes poetic and evocative prose as he reflects on such subjects as Indian place names, bears, and local eccentrics.
Book Synopsis Wintergreen by : Robert Michael Pyle
Download or read book Wintergreen written by Robert Michael Pyle and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Willapa Hills of southwest Washington, both the human community and the forest community are threatened with extinction. Virtually every acre of the hills has been logged, often repeatedly, in the past hundred years, endangering both the land and the people, leaving dying towns as well as a devastated ecosystem. Weaving vivid portraits of the place and its inhabitants—animal, plant, and human—with the story of his own love affair with the hills, Robert Michael Pyle has written a book so even–handed in its passion that it has been celebrated by those who make their living with a chain saw as well as by environmentalists. As he writes, 'My sympathies lie with the people and the woods, but not with the companies that have used them both with equal disregard. In his vivid portrayal of the land, plants, people and animals of the Willapa Hills of Washington State, Bob Pyle makes the modest patch of land he writes about a metaphor for the world.

Book Synopsis A Failure to Thrive by : Leslie Sharp
Download or read book A Failure to Thrive written by Leslie Sharp and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-01-21 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Failure to Thrive offers a unique viewpoint on the story of the tainted blood scandal in Canada and how it affected one family and their sick son. It also paints the portrait of an Erin Brockovich–type heroine in Leslie, who fights for justice for those too sick to fight for themselves. The book is a memoir that reads like a nonfiction thriller as we follow Leslie from the day she’s notified that her chronically ill son Jarad contracted hepatitis C from a tainted blood transfusion. From there, she set out to find answers. In her search, Leslie learned of a massive cover-up. Due in part to her tireless research, the court ultimately found that the Canadian Red Cross and government officials, in a move to save money, did not use proven surrogate screening of the blood supply until 1990, nine years after the US instituted their testing. And then they covered it up, even shredding official documents. In the middle of the political and legal drama, there is Leslie and her family. The story cuts back and forth between lawyered-up opponents and Jarad’s slow and horrific decline—at his worst, weighing a mere forty-six pounds at age twelve and only weeks from death. This book is about a Canadian national health tragedy, but it is also a story that crosses borders to anywhere bureaucrats decide how taxpayer dollars will be spent at the expense of public safety. It’s an inside look at backroom government failures and cover-ups; it is also the story of how these failures affected one very sick boy and his family. Leslie Sharp invites readers into her home and shares, with raw honesty, the struggles and triumphs of a family in the face of crisis. We watch Leslie and Peter’s marriage dissolve. We cheer for Leslie when, after their divorce, she reclaims her health, losing over a hundred pounds, and moves to Honolulu, Hawaii, to start over as a small business owner. The story ends on a high note, reporting that a healthy Jarad Gibbenhuck spent his early twenties living in Whistler Village, British Columbia, where he worked for a snowboard outfitter and competed in snowboarding competitions. This year, Jarad turned thirty and moved to Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where he works at a surf and skate shop.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accident tore us apart, but I can't live without Michael. I'll find a way to love him, even if it's the death of me... Ivy and Michael, her tattoo artist boyfriend, share a timeless, passionate love. Both work from home, so their breaks are spent together, making love and going for erotically-charged motorcycle rides through the countryside. They plan to make their bond official with name tattoos over each other's hearts, but fate and a reckless driver bring their world to a crashing halt. At first, Ivy is devastated by grief, but she finds that she can make contact with Michael once more. She can touch him in his phantom form and feel his ghostly caresses. Across the veil of death, their lovemaking is different, but every bit as heated. Their after-death journey is mysterious, romantic, and undeniably erotic. Ivy and Michael learn that sexual pleasure remains after life ends, and that death doesn't stand in the way of true love.

Book Synopsis The Tenets in the Tattoos by : Becky James
Download or read book The Tenets in the Tattoos written by Becky James and published by Clarkenhome Press. This book was released on with total page 537 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking the tenets of Special Forces means one thing. Death. Thorrn has his life mapped out – be the best swordsman in the king’s army and become Captain one day. What doesn’t fit in with his plans is some short, unimpressive waif claiming to be his soul companion, the platonic other half of his spirit. But when the king demands that he hand Evyn over, Thorrn is confronted with a choice: protect Evyn and keep her secret from the magical community who would drain her for the power resonating inside her, or turn her over to save his career, family name, and reputation. When a powerful mage moves against the kingdom, Thorrn and Evyn will have to summon all their courage and find allies from unexpected corners – including different worlds and times. For alongside the realms of Oberrot and Earth are the multiverses, and one of them should surely be able to help… A swordsman, an apothecarist, a shy librarian (“I’m beginning to think being underestimated is kind of my superpower”), and a powerful mage. Only they can save the kingdom. A page-turning new adventure awaits, from a fresh voice in fantasy. Contains twinned souls with a twist, enemies to inseparable friends, coming of age, learning to accept yourself and others, some epic swordfights, and a smattering of romance. “The plot is gripping, but it's a solid combination between a solid plot and a downright fabulous character development, as well as an absolutely beautiful narrative, that turns this debut into an addictive, practically unputdownable read.” - The Magic Book Corner “An action-packed adventure...The storyline is ambitious in its scope and really is one for fans of fantasy and science fiction, with multiple tropes all utilised to great effect as Thorrn and Evyn’s path unfolds.” - LoveBooks.co.uk “I found myself laughing and, at times, having tears in my eyes.” - Reedsy Discovery Reviewer “James has created a unique, new twist on soulmates that was refreshing and genius! James’ world building is exceptional as it sucks you right in and is executed perfectly.” - J.A. Culican, USA Today Bestselling Author
