Book excerpt: A sweeping historical saga that traces five generations of fiercely powerful mothers and daughters -- witches whose magical inheritance is both a dangerous threat and an extraordinary gift. Brittany, 1821. After Grand-Mere Ursule gives her life to save her family, their magic seems to die with her. Even so, the Orchires fight to keep the old ways alive, practicing half-remembered spells and arcane rites in hopes of a revival. And when their youngest daughter comes of age, magic flows anew. The lineage continues, though new generations struggle not only to master their power, but also to keep it hidden. But when World War II looms on the horizon, magic is needed more urgently than ever -- not for simple potions or visions, but to change the entire course of history. Praise for A Secret History of Witches: "I loved it. A beautiful generational tale, reminiscent of Practical Magic. . .. Grounded and real, painful and hopeful at the same time." —Laure Eve, author of The Graces "Historical fiction at its absolute finest....Deliciously absorbing." —Boston Globe "At once sprawling and intimate, A Secret History of Witches deftly captures the greatest magic of all: the love between mothers and daughters." —Jordanna Max Brodsky, author of The Wolf in the Whale For more from Louisa Morgan, check out: The Witch's Kind The Age of Witches
Download or read book Sunny's Nights written by Tim Sultan and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine that Alice had walked into a bar instead of falling down the rabbit hole. In the tradition of J. R. Moehringer’s The Tender Bar and the classic reportage of Joseph Mitchell, here is an indelible portrait of what is quite possibly the greatest bar in the world—and the mercurial, magnificent man behind it. The first time he saw Sunny’s Bar, in 1995, Tim Sultan was lost, thirsty for a drink, and intrigued by the single bar sign among the forlorn warehouses lining the Brooklyn waterfront. Inside, he found a dimly lit room crammed with maritime artifacts, a dozen well-seasoned drinkers, and, strangely, a projector playing a classic Martha Graham dance performance. Sultan knew he had stumbled upon someplace special. What he didn’t know was that he had just found his new home. Soon enough, Sultan has quit his office job to bartend full-time for Sunny Balzano, the bar’s owner. A wild-haired Tony Bennett lookalike with a fondness for quoting Shakespeare and Samuel Beckett, Sunny is truly one of a kind. Born next to the saloon that has been in his family for one hundred years, Sunny has over the years partied with Andy Warhol, spent time in India at the feet of a guru, and painted abstract expressionist originals. But his masterpiece is the bar itself, a place where a sublime mix of artists, mobsters, honky-tonk musicians, neighborhood drunks, nuns, longshoremen, and assorted eccentrics rub elbows. Set against the backdrop of a rapidly transforming city, Sunny’s Nights is a loving and singular portrait of the dream experience we’re all searching for every time we walk into a bar, and an enchanting memoir of an unlikely and abiding friendship. Praise for Sunny’s Nights “Fantastic . . . [Sultan takes] material that might seem familiar and [mixes] a perfect, insightful cocktail: full-bodied, multitextured and delicious. . . . Simply beautiful.”—The New York Times Book Review “Sultan’s love of Red Hook shines through, and it’s hard not to be swept along on the ebb and flow of his emotions. . . . Sultan’s book is, among other things, a meditation on the fragility of the moment and the passage of time. . . . Wistful, funny and biting, Sunny’s Nights rewards you with its evocation of a certain place in time and, as Sultan calls him, ‘the most original man I have ever met.’”—Newsday “An affectionate portrait of the idiosyncratic Sunny’s Bar.”—USA Today “Sultan finds Sunny . . . a real character, a poet, a cinephile, a philosopher, bluegrass maestro and (Rheingold) beer server.”—New York Post (“Required Reading”) “Captivating . . . a classic story about a local bar.”—The Buffalo News “An enchanting memoir, a profound meditation on place and a beautiful story of an unlikely and abiding friendship.”—Brooklyn Daily Eagle “[A] polished, affecting look at remarkable barkeep Sunny Balzano . . . In elegant prose, Sultan deploys laconic humor, an instinct for telling details, a taste for eccentricity, and above all, clear-eyed compassion for our all-too-human failings.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Beautifully wrought . . . an indelible portrait of an unusual man and a nearly forgotten part of NYC.”—Booklist “More than an elegy for a bar and a neighborhood—it’s also a vivid and loving portrait of the larger-than-life eccentric who gave the bar its name and its spirit.”—Tom Perrotta, author of The Leftovers

Book Synopsis Red Hook Stories by : Maureen McNeil
Download or read book Red Hook Stories written by Maureen McNeil and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-02 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Red Hook Stories is a collection of 20 short stories and 20 photographs that grasp the desperate beauty of human loss and resiliency in the empty dockyard neighborhood of Red Hook, Brooklyn between the years of 1981 and 1992. Woven throughout the collection are a mix of voices rarely heard, echoes from the edges of poor urban American communities everywhere. Artists, carpenters, squatters, welfare recipients, retired dockyard workers and their families band together at weddings, funerals, civic meetings and demonstrations in a struggle to survive political neglect. Frequently asked questions of Maureen McNeil and Janet Neuhauser, writer and photographer of RED HOOK STORIES You're both from the Seattle area. How did you arrive in NYC? MAUREEN: I fell in love with New York at age seventeen, on my way to Europe after graduating early from high school. I met my dad's cousin Martha, a dancer who lived in a loft at Westbeth, one of the first subsidized artist living spaces in Greenwich Village and watching her company rehearse and the icebergs that floated down the Hudson day after day, I'd never been so cold or so inspired. I didn't get back to NYC though until after college, in 79. I took a leave of absence from an MFA writing program at San Francisco State and moved here with my boyfriend who was starting graduate school. JANET: I had artist friends I grew up with living in Brooklyn at the time but I moved to New York study photography. What about becoming artists when did you start taking pictures? JANET: I came roundabout to photography. As a small child I watched my dad, an army photographer, develop film at home and at age seven I got my first camera. Later I was blown away looking at my grandmother's photos of farm life in South Dakota where she and my grandfather had homesteaded in the early 1900s. I didn't settle on the profession of photography until after graduating with a second B.A. in classics. I took a class from Steven Soltar at the Factory of Visual Arts and never looked back. MAUREEN: I was about twelve when I decided to be a writer. It was during a discussion with my older brother, Rob, who was renovating a 26 foot schooner so he could sail away and become stateless to avoid the Vietnam draft. He finally got it through my young brain that humans wrote the biblical stories. Suddenly, the pillar of Catholicism fell away and my life goals changed. If I died a saint, okay, but I was going to be a poet. How did you meet? And open a restaurant? Whose idea was that? MAUREEN: The restaurant was Jan's idea. She knew how to cook, not me. We wanted to create something and the restaurant really drew us into a community of conservative government workers and "hippie" college students. The Evergreen State College had only opened the year before and there was quite a clash. Olympians, including my grandfather, felt like they'd been invaded. JANET: It was luck that we met. It was 1972, standing in line to get our college ID photos taken. I gave Mo a bowl of home-made soup and she told me stories of hitch hiking through North Africa. I told her about traveling through Greece and Turkey and soon after she moved into my $55 a month apartment in downtown Olympia. The next year we opened a vegetarian restaurant on West 4th Street, cooking between classes with the help of our five male partners. Art, literature and jazz dominated our daily discussions. Laughing, dreaming out loud and moving to New York City were all we needed to be happy. New York City and love. How did you end up in Red Hook in the 1980s? JANET: I bought a building there in 1982. Mo and Paul bought a small house in 81. We heard about Red Hook from Paul's college counselor, Richard Dutton. They ran into him at a jam session at the Eagle Tavern on 14th Street. He introduced us to Jerry Lombardo, a retired longshoreman, the self-appointed realtor of Re

Book excerpt: The shocking crime-drenched saga of the New York mobs in Red Hook, Brooklyn—where the streets ran red with blood—by a Mafia survivor who grew up there . . . For more than a hundred years, the Red Hook section of Brooklyn was Ground Zero for organized crime. Whoever controlled the piers controlled everything. From the infamous Irish gang known as The White Hand at the turn of the century, to the notorious Italian Gallo brothers who ran President Street—and everything else—generations later, the blood-soaked history of Red Hook is the story of American crime at its most powerful, corrupt, and coldly efficient. It's all here: the brutal mob hits, bullet storms, and backstabbings of the most colorful cutthroats to ever terrorize the streets. A rogue’s gallery of killers with nicknames like “The Mad Hatter,” “The Executioner,” “Wild Bill,” and “Peg Leg.” The Brooklyn bar fight that gave Al “Scarface” Capone his legendary scars. The godfather of America’s first Sicilian crime family whose gruesomely mangled hand could scare men half to death. And, to bring it all home, the author’s own eyewitness account of multiple shootings growing up as the son of a Mafia bodyguard. Packed with jaw-dropping stories of public violence and personal vengeance, vivid insights into the Mafia’s way of life, and shocking portraits of America’s most wanted crime families, Red Hook is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the history of organized crime in America.

In the 1920s, a lush, decadent gothic tale unfolds as a young woman slips into a glamorous world filled with illicit magic, tantalizing romance, and murder. On Crow Island, people whisper that real magic lurks just below the surface. But magic doesn’t interest Annie Mason. Not after it stole her future.

Book excerpt: Wonderland explores the hidden realities of life before and after the fall of the USSR. The story of Communism is the story of the 20th century. For many, the Soviet Union existed, like their childhood, as a fairy tale where many of the realities of life were hidden from plain view. When the Berlin Wall finally fell, so too did the illusion of that utopia. Wonderland is a photographic exploration that portrays both the reality beneath the veneer of a utopian USSR and the affirmation that hope that should never be abandoned.
