Book Synopsis Dancing at the Pity Party by : Tyler Feder
Download or read book Dancing at the Pity Party written by Tyler Feder and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-04-14 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part poignant cancer memoir and part humorous reflection on a motherless life, this debut graphic novel is extraordinarily comforting and engaging. From before her mother's first oncology appointment through the stages of her cancer to the funeral, sitting shiva, and afterward, when she must try to make sense of her life as a motherless daughter, Tyler Feder tells her story in this graphic novel that is full of piercing--but also often funny--details. She shares the important post-death firsts, such as celebrating holidays without her mom, the utter despair of cleaning out her mom's closet, ending old traditions and starting new ones, and the sting of having the "I've got to tell Mom about this" instinct and not being able to act on it. This memoir, bracingly candid and sweetly humorous, is for anyone struggling with loss who just wants someone to get it.

Book Synopsis The Fountainheads by : Donald Leslie Johnson
Download or read book The Fountainheads written by Donald Leslie Johnson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speculation abounds about the relationship between Frank Lloyd Wright and Ayn Rand. Was Wright the inspiration for Howard Roark, the architect hero of Rand's The Fountainhead? What can be made of their collaboration on the book's failed 1944 movie adaptation, and what can be gleaned from the 1949 Hollywood production of The Fountainhead? Where does the FBI--Wright was dubbed a communist sympathizer, and Rand was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee--fit into the story? Art, architecture, philosophy, film and politics come together in this exploration, which relies on the writings of Wright and Rand, FBI files, visual evidence and more to cement their connection. Chapters are devoted to Wright and Rand, the two together, their parts in both the failed production of The Fountainhead and the successful one, and the effect FBI harassment had on the movie and on their lives. Subsequent chapters discuss Wright's place as a Hollywood architect, and offer telling set designs and architectural images from the 1949 production of The Fountainhead. Several appendices supplement the illustrated text, and there is a filmography of movies mentioned in the book. A bibliography and index are also included.

Book Synopsis Les Misérables, for Musical and Movie Lovers Who Have Not Read Victor Hugo's Novel by : Steve Antinoff
Download or read book Les Misérables, for Musical and Movie Lovers Who Have Not Read Victor Hugo's Novel written by Steve Antinoff and published by UniversityMedia. This book was released on 2012-09-09 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is written for those inspired by the musical and movie versions of Les Misérables who have not yet tackled Victor Hugo's 1200-page masterpiece. The novel is pervaded by two central conflicts. The first is the conflict between love and justice. Love is championed by the bishop and, later, by Valjean. Justice is the supreme god of the fanatical Police Inspector Javert. The second is the conflict between love and egotism. Found within the heart of Jean Valjean himself, it is barely discernable in the Jean Valjean of the musical; but without it, the central character of Hugo's novel and its adaptations in the performing arts cannot be fully understood. All human beings, in experiencing the world, unavoidably find themselves as the center of their world. Self-centeredness therefore is tenacious. Yet what is commonly termed the "me generation" fell in love with a musical about a selfless man. Why is that? Is it not because there is in each of us an intimation that the highest form of self is to be selfless? Going to the heart of Victor Hugo's magnificent novel, Steve Antinoff's book reveals the depth and beauty of its conception and throws new light on its central characters that inspired the authors of musical and film versions as well as a growing, world-wide public.

Book Synopsis Picturing Disability by : Robert Bogdan
Download or read book Picturing Disability written by Robert Bogdan and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Midget, feeble-minded, crippled, lame, and insane: these terms and the historical photographs that accompany them may seem shocking to present-day audiences. A young woman with no arms wears a sequined tutu and smiles for the camera as she smokes a cigarette with her toes; a man holds up two prosthetic legs while his own legs are bared to the knees to show his missing feet. The photos were used as promotional material for circus sideshows, charity drives, and art galleries. They were found on begging cards and in family albums. In Picturing Disability, Bogdan and his collaborators gather over 200 historical photographs showing how people with disabilities have been presented and exploring the contexts in which they were photographed. Rather than focus on the subjects, Bogdan turns his gaze on the people behind the camera. He examines the historic and cultural environment of the photographs to decipher the relationship between the images and the perspectives of the picture makers. In analyzing the visual rhetoric of these photographs, Bogdan identifies the wide variety of genres, from sideshow souvenirs to clinical photographs. Ranging from the 1860s, when photographs first became readily available, to the 1970s, when the disability rights movement became a force for significant change, Bogdan chronicles the evolution of disability image creation. Picturing Disability takes the reader beyond judging images as positive or slanderous to reveal how particular contexts generate specific emotions and lasting depictions.

Download or read book Beauty and Power written by Mark Johnson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-25 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling study of gender and sexual diversity in the Southern Philippines addresses general questions about the relationship between the making of gender and sexualities, the politics of national and ethnic identities and processes of cultural transformation in a world of contract labourers and transnational consumers. The book focuses, in particular, on the meaning and experience of local 'gays' -- transvestite/transgender-homosexual men -- who are at once celebrated as purveyors of beauty (defined in terms of a global American otherness) and valorized as impotent men and defiled women. In short, America functions both as a sign of their abjected status and as a space for imagining and reformulating various gendered identities. This innovative work -- one of the first ethnographic studies to be published in the aftermath of the region's civil unrest -- will be of interest to anyone working on gender, the body and sexuality. Not only does it extend the boundaries of cross-cultural studies of non-mainstream genders and sexualities by directly engaging the entanglement of local sensibilities with global images and discourse, but it also demonstrates that there is nothing ambiguous about ambiguity -- gendered, sexual or otherwise. Rather, this ambiguity is the specific product of different historical relations of power through which various cultural subjects are created and re-create themselves.

Book excerpt: Ten years of imprisonment in exchange for the betrayal of a lover. On the day Xu Muyun saw the light of day again, he saw that the person he had longed for all these years was actually already married and had children. And his wife turned out to be the younger sister of the murder victim. She would never forget her best friend. It was this woman who had sent her to jail and caused her to suffer for ten years. Ten years had passed, and the outside world had already undergone earth-shaking changes. She was no longer young, and with her frail body without anywhere to hide, she could only choose to live under someone else. It was his appearance that changed her tasteless life. Her frozen heart gradually melted, but in the end, she discovered that this sweet love was just an even more terrifying lie. In this lifetime, he doted on her and gave her everything she wanted. As long as it was something she wanted, he would do his best to give it to her. But he still couldn't keep her safe for the rest of her life, and his life of deceit was exhausting. In this life, she only wanted to peacefully live her own life. She didn't want to pursue the matters that had happened in the past. However, why did he force her into a corner? The hands behind the scenes were grabbing her neck, making her unable to breathe. Love, why so close, yet so far away, once tightly embraced, how can I once again have it!
