Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Less, a debut collection of ten short stories featuring characters haunted by their decisions and memories. With a classic storyteller’s gift for nuance and understanding, and a poet’s grace for language, Andrew Sean Greer makes a remarkable debut with How It Was for Me. Focusing on the lives of eleven people—those who have discovered and been uncovered by the truths of life, those who have sacrificed, those who have fallen—Greer fashions a unified, stunning portrait of America, one with the ultimate force and candor of testimonial. Praise for How It Was for Me An LA Weekly Top Ten Book of the Year “Crystal-like clarity . . . outstanding . . . nuanced language . . . Greer is a writer worth watching.” —Martin Wilson, The Austin Chronicle “Impressive . . . Greer’s descriptive talents are immense. . . . While these stories are thick with melancholy, their frankness is refreshing.” —The New York Times Book Review “Greer reveals sensitive, unpredictable characters in direct but subtle prose, saving his most powerful stories for the end. . . . Many of these stories project that same kind of effortlessness—suggesting that more strong writing from Greer will follow.” —Publishers Weekly

Book excerpt: How It Was and Is For Me chronicles the life of author Judy Walters. At the books beginning, she is 6 weeks old and living in a travel trailer in Arkansas about to move on to another town in another state where her alcoholic mother and father can find work. This is just one of the patterns that keeps repeating itself over and over again. Throughout the book, Judy details the struggles she endures growing up in an alcoholic family. She also shares about the tragic loss of one of her own sons to the disease of alcoholism as well as the poignant memories of she and her brother, Casey and half sister, Ruthann, building sand forts in Arizona. Judys life is a testament to the fact that patterns keep reemerging, but can also be broken as after years of chaos, abandonment and basic survival as a child, to marriage, divorce and loss in adulthood, Judy sets out on a path to break free of the chains of the past and find the beauty, joy and love life holds in the form of children, grandchildren, spouse, family and of course, dogs.

Book Synopsis Tell Me How It Ends by : Valeria Luiselli
Download or read book Tell Me How It Ends written by Valeria Luiselli and published by Coffee House Press. This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Part treatise, part memoir, part call to action, Tell Me How It Ends inspires not through a stiff stance of authority, but with the curiosity and humility Luiselli has long since established." —Annalia Luna, Brazos Bookstore "Valeria Luiselli's extended essay on her volunteer work translating for child immigrants confronts with compassion and honesty the problem of the North American refugee crisis. It's a rare thing: a book everyone should read." —Stephen Sparks, Point Reyes Books "Tell Me How It Ends evokes empathy as it educates. It is a vital contribution to the body of post-Trump work being published in early 2017." —Katharine Solheim, Unabridged Books "While this essay is brilliant for exactly what it depicts, it helps open larger questions, which we're ever more on the precipice of now, of where all of this will go, how all of this might end. Is this a story, or is this beyond a story? Valeria Luiselli is one of those brave and eloquent enough to help us see." —Rick Simonson, Elliott Bay Book Company "Appealing to the language of the United States' fraught immigration policy, Luiselli exposes the cracks in this foundation. Herself an immigrant, she highlights the human cost of its brokenness, as well as the hope that it (rather than walls) might be rebuilt." —Brad Johnson, Diesel Bookstore "The bureaucratic labyrinth of immigration, the dangers of searching for a better life, all of this and more is contained in this brief and profound work. Tell Me How It Ends is not just relevant, it's essential." —Mark Haber, Brazos Bookstore "Humane yet often horrifying, Tell Me How It Ends offers a compelling, intimate look at a continuing crisis—and its ongoing cost in an age of increasing urgency." —Jeremy Garber, Powell's Books

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Disobedient Generation collects newly written autobiographies by an international cross-section of well-known sociologists, all of them "children of the '60s". It illuminates the human experience of living through that decade as apprentice scholars and activists, encountering the issues of class, race, the Establishment, the decline of traditional religion, feminism, war, and the sexual revolution. In each case the interlinked crises of young adulthood, rapid change, and nascent professional careers shaped this generation's private and public selves.
