Reeyonna believes that auditioning for pregnant teenage porn will help fulfill her dream of befriending Kanye West…. Jackie, a photographer once celebrated for arty nudes of her young daughter, is working at a Sears Family Portrait boutique…. And Oscar-winning Michael Douglas searches for meaning while his wife, Catherine, guest-stars on Glee.

Determined to live the life he dreams of without sacrificing his ethics and morals, his exceptional talent, or the love of his life, The Architect takes you on a fast-paced look at the world of architecture and urban development, through the complex lens of self-realization, tragedy and humanity.

Book Synopsis Chasing Portraits by : Elizabeth Rynecki
Download or read book Chasing Portraits written by Elizabeth Rynecki and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The memoir of one woman’s emotional quest to find the art of her Polish-Jewish great-grandfather, lost during World War II. Moshe Rynecki’s body of work reached close to eight hundred paintings and sculptures before his life came to a tragic end. It was his great-granddaughter Elizabeth who sought to rediscover his legacy, setting upon a journey to seek out what had been lost but never forgotten… The everyday lives of the Polish-Jewish community depicted in Moshe Rynecki’s paintings simply blended into the background of Elizabeth Rynecki’s life when she was growing up. But the art transformed from familiar to extraordinary in her eyes after her grandfather, Moshe’s son George, left behind journals detailing the loss her ancestors had endured during World War II, including Moshe’s art. Knowing that her family had only found a small portion of Moshe’s art, and that many more pieces remained to be found, Elizabeth set out to find them. Before Moshe was deported to the ghetto, he entrusted his work to friends who would keep it safe. After he was killed in the Majdanek concentration camp, the art was dispersed all over the world. With the help of historians, curators, and admirers of Moshe’s work, Elizabeth began the incredible and difficult task of rebuilding his collection. Spanning three decades of Elizabeth’s life and three generations of her family, this touching memoir is a compelling narrative of the richness of one man’s art, the devastation of war, and one woman’s unexpected path to healing.
Download or read book Oral Pleasure written by Jerzy Kosinski and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2012-12-04 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[This] new collection of Jerzy Kosinski’s interviews and speeches reveals an Everyman who worked on his own terms . . . A most welcome body of texts that elucidates a rather mysterious persona.” —Tablet Oral Pleasure: Kosinski as Storyteller is a collection of interviews, lectures, and transcriptions of media appearances from the legendary literary figure, Jerzy Kosinski. Compiled by his late widow, Kiki, most of the pieces here are published for the first time. These texts bring sharper focus to the themes in his works, making this strikingly erratic individual more accessible. They provide an uncensored portrait of the writer plagued by scandal, whose authenticity was challenged by fierce accusations of plagiarism regarding his seminal novel, The Painted Bird—suspicion that shadowed his career. Oral Pleasure reveals Kosinski as a truly genuine, gifted man of letters. The material covers different aspects of Kosinski’s eventful life, from his thoughts on Poland and the Holocaust to his experiences with acting and television. He expounds on the difficulties of writing under a totalitarian government and the importance of freedom of speech. He discusses the fine line between fiction and autobiography, the prominent role sex played in his writing and life, the philosophical importance of violence in his novels, and his controversial statements on Jewish identity. This collection offers new insight into Kosinski’s renowned work, portraying a brilliant storyteller behind the public figure. “Containing more than 60 documents from Kosinski’s career, the book flows like a conversation . . . thanks to the strength of Kosinski’s voice, [it is] coherent and recognizably whole. . . . Even without prior knowledge of his work, Kosinski rewards those willing to engage with his stories.” —Publishers Weekly

Download or read book The Devil Tree written by Jerzy Kosinski and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kosinski’s classic, acclaimed as “an impressive novel . . . should confirm [his] position as one of our most significant writers” (Newsweek). A searing novel from a writer of international stature, The Devil Tree is a tale that combines the existential emptiness of Camus’s The Stranger with the universe of international playboys, violence, and murder of Patricia Highsmith’s The Talented Mr. Ripley. Jonathan Whalen’s life has been determined from the start by the immense fortune of his father, a steel tycoon. Whalen’s childlike delight in power and status mask a greater need, a desire to feel life intensely, through drugs, violence, sex, and attempts at meaningful connection with other people—whether lovers or the memory of his dead parents. But the physical is all that feels real to him, and as he embarks on a journey to Africa with his godparents, Whalen’s embrace of amoral thrill accelerates toward ultimate fulfillment. “Savage . . . [Whalen is] a foolproof, timeless American character.” —Cosmopolitan

Book excerpt: Bestseller Wambaugh's entertaining third Hollywood Station novel (after Hollywood Crows) provides lots of laughs and gasps from all of your favorite characters. There's a saying at Hollywood station that the full moon brings out the beast -- rather than the best -- in the precinct's citizens. One moonlit night, LAPD veteran Dana Vaughn and "Hollywood" Nate Weiss, a struggling-actor-turned cop, get a call about a young man who's been attacking women. Meanwhile, two surfer cops known as Flotsam and Jetsam keep bumping into an odd, suspicious duo -- a smooth-talking player in dreads and a crazy-eyed, tattooed biker. No one suspects that all three dubious characters might be involved in something bigger, more high-tech, and much more illegal. After a dizzying series of twists, turns, and chases, the cops will find they've stumbled upon a complex web of crime where even the criminals can't be sure who's conning whom. Wambaugh once again masterfully gets inside the hearts and minds of the cops whose jobs have them constantly on the brink of danger. By turns heart-wrenching, exhilarating, and laugh-out-loud funny, Hollywood Moon is his most thrilling and deeply affecting ride yet through the singular streets of LA.
Download or read book Being There written by Jerzy Kosinski and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quirky, brilliant novel starring Chauncey Gardiner, an enigmatic man who rises from nowhere to become a media phenomenon—“a fabulous creature of our age” (Newsweek). One of the most beloved novels by the New York Times–bestselling and National Book Award–winning author of The Painted Bird and Pinball, Being There is the story of a mysterious man who finds himself at the center of Wall Street and Washington power—including his role as a policy adviser to the president—despite the fact that no one is quite sure where he comes from, or what he is actually talking about. Nevertheless, Chauncey “Chance” Gardiner is celebrated by the media, and hailed as a visionary, in this satirical masterpiece that became an award-winning film starring Peter Sellers. As wise and timely as ever, Being There is “a tantalizing knuckleball of a book delivered with perfectly timed satirical hops and metaphysical flutters” (Time).

Book Synopsis Keeping Literary Company by : Jerome Klinkowitz
Download or read book Keeping Literary Company written by Jerome Klinkowitz and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1999-06-10 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in the 1960s, a group of radically new fiction writers began having success at reinventing the novel and short story for postmodern times. Chief among them were Kurt Vonnegut, Jerzy Kosinski, Donald Barthelme, Ronald Sukenick, Raymond Federman, Clarence Major, and Gilbert Sorrentino. Although their work proved puzzling to reviewers and did not fit the conventions familiar to academic critics, these writers found an ally in a young reader named Jerome Klinkowitz. Hired to teach Hawthorne and other nineteenth-century figures, Klinkowitz found his deepest sympathies (and most lifelike affinities) to be with Vonnegut and company instead. Beginning in 1969 he published the first scholarly essays on Vonnegut, Kosinski, Barthelme, and the others in turn. By 1975 he was ready to write Literary Disruptions, a literary history of what he called this "post-contemporary" period. Since then he has written more than thirty books on contemporary fiction and its allied developments in cultural history, art, music, politics, and philosophy. Keeping Literary Company details Klinkowitz's work with these writers—not just researching their fiction and other publications, but introducing them to one another and taking part in the business-world activities that spread news of their innovations. He shows how what they wrote was so much a part of those turbulent times that a new literary generation found itself defined in such works as Slaughterhouse-Five, Being There, and Snow White. Here is a fascinating, first-person account of what these important figures wrote, how they wrote it, and what it means in the development of American fiction.

A pair of young doctors, Leo and Rachel, with a 4 year old son Adam, tries desperately to escape the deportation and death. They are initially successful but eventually they are caught by the death machine and taken to the Umschlagplatz for the trip to Treblinka. They escape from the Umschlagplatz, and later from the ghetto , just before the ghetto uprising, to hide on the Aryan side .Adam is sent to a catholic family and Leo organizes the hospital at the edge of a huge forest near Warsaw, mostly for the partisans fi ghting against the Nazis. They all survive the WWII but Rachel succumbs later to the ovarian cancer . The second part of the book starts at the end of 1952, under a communist regime, when Leo is already a Professor of Cardiology and treats prominent Polish politicians. At that time in the Soviet Union 14 members of The Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee were executed and many prominent Jewish Doctors were arrested in the trumped up case of The Murderers in the White Coats, accused of trying to kill Soviet politicians, including Joseph Stalin. Leo is called to Moscow to treat visiting Polish Prime Minister, because all Russian doctors, terrifi ed by the arrest of their colleagues, are afraid to treat him. When in Moscow Leo is entrusted with the secret mission to notify the West that Stalin and the KGB are planning to deport all the Jews to Beribidzhan in the Eastern Siberia. He meets Tanya a young doctor, a daughter of the most prominent Russian lady scientist, who is now exiled to Kazakhstan for her membership in The Jewish Anti- Fascist Committee.

He is received with more appreciation in the Israeli Embassy and is fl own to Tel- Aviv to report to the Prime Minister Ben Gurion on the plight of the Russian Jews. As a result of his mission major US and Israeli newspapers report on the Stalins and the KGBs plans to deport Russian Jews. Later Leo goes to Moscow, together with his son Adam, to rescue Tanya from the serious threat of arrest and the deportation. They get married and using false papers and big bribes they manage to return to Poland in a nail biting escape. Stalin is seriously ill but he jailed his personal physician. He becomes more paranoid and threatening to one of his closest hangman, who decides to eliminate this danger. Stalins death ends all plans of Jewish deportation to Siberia.
