Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond the Sound Barrier examines twentieth-century fictional representations of popular music-particularly jazz-in the fiction of James Weldon Johnson, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Langston Hughes, and Toni Morrison. Kristin K. Henson argues that an analysis of musical tropes in the work of these four authors suggests that cultural "mixing" constitutes one of the central preoccupations of modernist literature. Valuable for any reader interested in the intersections between American literature and the history of American popular music, Henson situates the literary use of popular music as a culturally amalgamated, boundary-crossing form of expression that reflects and defines modern American identities.

Book excerpt: This gripping, darkly funny debut thriller from acclaimed screenwriter Scott Frank is "an L.A. story with a little bit of [Elmore] Leonard, a little bit of Day of the Locust, and a whole lot of earthquakes” (Interview). "[R]eally good . . . hit me like a bolt of lightning. If you like Don Winslow or Lou Berney, READ THIS BOOK!"--Stephen King via Twitter Roy Cooper, a stoic, unassuming “errand runner” for New York criminals, is finishing up a job in Los Angeles a week after a powerful earthquake has wreaked havoc on the city. Wandering the streets of North Hollywood while looking for his car, Roy runs into four teenage gangbangers and finds himself in the last place he wants to be: the middle of another killing. A mugging goes awry, and a passing jogger—who turns out to be a prominent mayoral candidate—dies. Roy himself is shot twice and hospitalized in critical condition. A local resident catches the whole thing on camera in a video that goes viral. And Roy, by some twist of fate, comes out looking like the hero, losing the hit man’s greatest weapon: anonymity. Roy’s newfound fame draws unlikely characters into his orbit: Kelly Maguire, a disgraced LAPD detective with an anger management problem; Science, a young gang leader who needs Roy to keep quiet about what he’s seen; Mayor Miguel Santiago, who faces accusations that he’s just had his opponent whacked; and, most chillingly, Albert Budin, a dangerous man from Roy’s past who’s just learned that his old acquaintance is still alive.

Book excerpt: The Beloved #1 International Bestseller Tenth Anniversary Edition “We’re just going to look.” Helen Brown had no intention of adopting a pet when she brought her young sons to visit a friend’s new kittens. But the runt of the litter was irresistible, with her overlarge ears and dainty chin. When Cleo was delivered weeks later, she had no way of knowing that her new family had just been hit by an unthinkable tragedy. Helen was sure she couldn’t keep her—until she saw something she thought had vanished from earth forever: her son’s smile. The reckless, rambunctious kitten stayed. Through happiness and heartbreak, changes and new beginnings, Cleo was the glue that affectionately held Helen’s family together. Rich in wisdom, wit, heart, and healing, here is the story of a cat with an extraordinary gift for knowing just where she was needed most.

Book excerpt: Growing up in the beauty of the mythical Evald, Tanya and her sisters enjoy a life of secrets and magical friends. The Mist keeps strangers at bay, as the childlike innocence of Tanya's refuge is often lost on the modern world. When her father and brother die, Tanya's mother and sisters give up their fabled existence, keeping with them secrets of the woods and characteristics they must hide in order to protect themselves in Lockwood, New York. When Tanya transitions into the real world and falls for Aaron Sands, she finds that life outside of Evald offers more tears than retribution. Tanya's fauth, M****, and familiars visit Tanya often, but as she ages, it becomes harder for the young fairy to travel through The Mist and back to Evald, because fairies must find a soul mate in order to survive in this hidden realm.A trip abroad to see her beloved aunt offers hope. Dreams from her past show Tanya a handsome red-haired man. When Tanya discovers Roy is a leprechaun, she is sure that he is the one to cross over with, but her dreams then point her to another young love in Ithaca. What could Chris have to do with her future? An untimely death and the revelation of her mother's sins leave Tanya in a whirlwind as she struggles to accept her identity and find a soul mate that will make the transition between two very different worlds. Only one thing can help her, and it may be as simple as A Silver Thread.

Download or read book A Line of Cutting Women written by Beverly McFarland and published by CALYX Books. This book was released on 1998 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction and essay anthology. Women's Studies. In this anthology culled from twenty-two years of award-winningCALYX: A Journal of Art and Literature By Women, a long line of writers share their visions of the worlds women create. "What an extraordinary collection of worthwhile writing, brave in many cases, beautiful in almost all. A book to sit down with. I was able to remember my first reading of some of these stories -- many of them first publications -- and relive the excitement!" -- Grace Paley. "Anyone who still doubts the existence of a multicultural 'women's culture' will be forever changed by this book -- and will have enjoyed a fine read in the bargain" -- Robin Morgan. "Thirty-seven stories, drawn from two decades worth of issues ofCALYX: A Journal of Art and Literature By Women, demonstrate both how important a role the journal has played in providing a venue for both unknown and well-established writers, and how sharp its editorial eyes have been. There are superb tales here by such familiar figures as Julia Alvarez (the affecting ``Now World'), Linda Hogan (``Crow'), and Alicia Ostriker (``Esther, or The World Turned Upside Down'), as well as stunning work by less well-known writers, including M. Evelina Galang's Her Wild American Self and Hollis Seamon's Gypsies in the Place of Pain. The volume takes its title from a fierce, sad tale by Rita Marie Nibasa, about the ways in which love and violence often mingle. Because the stories are by women from a number of cultures, and because the tales embrace so many kinds of narrative views (from the grimly documentary to magic realism), the collection provides a useful overview of the large, diverse, often angry and usually vital work being produced by a new, and markedly varied, generation of women writers. First-rate short fiction."-Kirkus

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When viewers think of film noir, they often picture actors like Humphrey Bogart playing characters like Sam Spade in The Maltese Falcon, the film based on the book by Dashiell Hammett. Yet film noir is a genre much richer. The authors first examine the debate surrounding the parameters of the genre and the many different ways it is defined. They discuss the Noir City, its setting and backdrop, and also the cultural (WWII) and institutional (the House UnAmerican Activities Committee, and the Production Code Administration) influences on the subgenres. An analysis of the low budget and series film noirs provides information on those cult classics. With over 200 entries on films, directors, and actors, the Encyclopedia of Film Noir is the most complete resource for film fans, students, and scholars.

This book was released on 2015-04-13 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up until his eighty sixth birthday, Roy Crumpton could have been described as the most ordinary of people. A man quite content with easy chairs and comfortable trousers. But eighty-six years of loneliness is a long time. An epiphany in his greenhouse sets into motion a chain of extraordinary and unlikely events, wherein we see that when one loses their heart, they often lose their head at the same time. Roy comes to realise that throwing yourself into the wind of fate is the best way to be blown in the right direction. In a journey that sees him tackle the postal service, reluctant companionship, the high seas and the most remote island in the world, despite the odds, he is finally blessed with the good fortune denied him for so many years. It seeks to remind us that it is never to late to set out on an adventure, especially when love is perhaps the greatest adventure of them all.

Book excerpt: No light. No air. No escape. Hundreds of feet beneath the ocean's surface, a graveyard waits... Years ago, the SS Arcadia vanished without a trace during a routine voyage. Though a strange, garbled emergency message was broadcast, neither the ship nor any of its crew could be found. Sixty years later, its wreck has finally been discovered more than three hundred miles from its intended course...a silent graveyard deep beneath the ocean's surface, eagerly waiting for the first sign of life. Cove and her dive team have been granted permission to explore the Arcadia's rusting hull. Their purpose is straightforward: examine the wreck, film everything, and, if possible, uncover how and why the supposedly unsinkable ship vanished. But the Arcadia has not yet had its fill of death, and something dark and hungry watches from below. With limited oxygen and the ship slowly closing in around them, Cove and her team will have to fight their way free of the unspeakable horror now desperate to claim them.

Download or read book Global Perspectives on Nationalism written by Debajyoti Biswas and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-16 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Perspectives on Nationalism takes an interdisciplinary approach informed by recent theorisations of nationalism to examine perennial questions on the topic. The idea of nationalism centres on questions of ethnicity, culture, religion, language, and access to resources. What determines consciousness of nationalism? How is nationalism manifested, shaped, or countered through literary and cultural productions? The contributors highlight topical areas in studies of nationalism including ecology, natural resources, sustainability, globalisation, the Anthropocene, postcolonialism, indigeneity, folklore, popular culture, and queer theory. They develop innovative perspectives on nationalism through in-depth analyses of the theoretical, political, literary, linguistic, cultural, and ecological dimensions of nationalism in Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Lebanon, Nepal, Nigeria, Poland, Scotland, Turkey, the United States, and elsewhere. This volume underscores the importance of generative dialogue between disciplines in assessing the implications of nationalism for everyday life through five thematic sections: (I) Ethnicity, Ideology, and Narration; (II) Religion, Identity, and Heritage; (III) Linguistics, Tradition, and Modernism; (IV) Music, Lyricism, and Poetics; and (V) Ecology, Environment, and Non-Human Lives. This book will be of particular value to students and researchers in philosophy, literary studies, and political theory with interests spanning ecology, ethnicity, folklore, gender, heritage, identity, linguistics, nationalism, nationhood, religion, and sexuality.
