Book excerpt: Stella descends, over and over, in the course of this haunting novel. She falls from the womb, since her mother gives birth standing up; she falls for Martin, who delivers her new green sofa and refuses to leave; she falls ill and eventually recovers; but her biggest fall, the descent that suffuses her story, is a plunge to her death off a nine-story building. Memories and observations related by Stella’s adolescent daughter, her curmudgeonly octogenarian friend, three old ladies who witness her final moments, and finally Stella herself combine in cryptic and beguiling ways to unravel the mystery: Playing a lover’s game on that rooftop, did she fall out of her husband’s arms, or was she pushed?

Book excerpt: Glamour Puss Was Buried Under a Pool in Hollywood…. Mac McGowan knew exactly where Aubrey St. George was buried, because he'd put the famous film star—known to all of Hollywood as Glamour Puss—there himself. It had all been a terrible accident, but Mac was sleeping with Aubrey's wife, Stella, and both he and Stella had panicked. So they'd covered up their deed, buried Aubrey under the pool Mac was building for the star and come up with a story the police would buy. But He Was About to Walk Right Back Into Mac McGowan's Life. Twenty years later, Mac is a different man—but a man haunted by the one act that shaped his life. Now divorced from Stella, he is nonetheless tied to the failed actress by the secret they share and the crime they got away with. His life is not his own. Then the carefully constructed veneer of the past starts to crack. Someone else knows his and Stella's secret, and they are intent on blackmailing Mac to keep the truth hidden. When it's clear that Mac's life—and that of the sexy female P.I. he's hired to help him—is in danger, Mac begins to wonder if they only way to survive is to expose the past he's tried so hard to keep hidden.

Book Synopsis Alex North's A Streetcar Named Desire by : Annette Davison
Download or read book Alex North's A Streetcar Named Desire written by Annette Davison and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2009-02-17 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alex North's A Streetcar Named Desire: A Film Score Guide examines the acclaimed score for Elia Kazan's much-celebrated adaptation of Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire (1951). Situating the score within the context of Alex North's life and career, the book begins with an overview of North's musical training and his works up to his first scores for Hollywood in 1950, demonstrating how his experience in writing music for stage, concert hall, dance, and documentaries each contributed to the skills necessary for film composition. Annette Davison uses examples from North's film career to identify and describe his scoring techniques. Using manuscript and archival research, Davison explores both the play's debut stage production and the film's production process, with a particular emphasis on the genesis and development of the music heard in the film. Considering the influence and changes imposed by the film's studio (Warner Bros.), the Production Code Administration, and the Catholic Legion of Decency on the film, Davison explores the impact of these changes on the interpretation of this finely balanced drama, comparing the different versions of the film and its scores. The book concludes with a full and detailed analysis of the jazz-inflected score, taking a holistic approach and using both musicology and film studies to investigate the ways it gives a dynamic shape to the film as a whole.

Poppy wants to bring sex back into her marriage by letting her old friend Stella remind her husband how it's done. Suzanne loves her fiancé, but fancies his father more. Florence can't resist her hunky stepson and his skills in the kitchen. Two girls seeking the perfect man on a singles holiday find each other instead.

But they're so subtle, sophisticated and sexy that the boys, men and girls, barely know what's hit them.
Book Synopsis The Myth of Sisyphus by : Elliott M. Simon
Download or read book The Myth of Sisyphus written by Elliott M. Simon and published by Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The myth of Sisyphus symbolizes the archetypal process of becoming without the consolation of absolute achievement. It is both a poignant reflection of the human condition and a prominent framing text for classical, medieval, and renaissance theories of human perfectibility. In this unique reading of the myth through classical philosophies, pagan and Christian religious doctrines, and medieval and renaissance literature, we see Sisyphus, "the most cunning of human beings," attempting to transcend his imperfections empowered by his imagination to renew his faith in the infinite potentialities of human excellence."--BOOK JACKET

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fight for dominance begins. The period of mourning for the great alphas, Vasile and Alina, is over. But some refuse to move on. The high fae, Perizada, vows never to experience the loss of her friends--her family--again. She knows the only way to do this is to take on the Order of the Burning Claw herself. But her mate would never allow it. So, she does the only thing she can, severing all ties with her allies. Peri’s decision could destroy her enemies, the Order, but it could also destroy everything she holds dear. The end of mourning also marks the beginning of challenges to the new alpha of alphas, Fane Lupei. Rogue wolves who desire to rule in his stead attempt to stake their claims. Though Fane abides by pack law when facing his opponents, others aren’t so honorable. Fane soon realizes the threats he faces aren’t just against him, but against his entire pack. Skender and the fae, Tenia, fight against the mate bond drawing them closer. They both know they cannot be together, but the bond is more powerful than either expected. Meanwhile, Skender has promised to keep Tenia’s son, Torion, safe--a promise he’s willing to die to keep. Skender soon finds out that there’s more to the boy than meets the eye, and Skender’s ability to keep the boy safe could be the key to saving them all.

Book excerpt: One of the New York Times Book Review's 100 Notable Books of 2014! Ullmann’s characters are complex and paradoxical: neither fully guilty nor fully innocent Siri Brodal, a chef and restaurant owner, is married to Jon Dreyer, a famous novelist plagued by writer’s block. Siri and Jon have two daughters, and together they spend their summers on the coast of Norway, in a mansion belonging to Jenny Brodal, Siri’s stylish and unforgiving mother. Siri and Jon’s marriage is loving but difficult, and troubled by painful secrets. They have a strained relationship with their elder daughter, Alma, who struggles to find her place in the family constellation. When Milla is hired as a nanny to allow Siri to work her long hours at the restaurant and Jon to supposedly meet the deadline on his book, life in the idyllic summer community takes a dire turn. One rainy July night, Milla disappears without a trace. After her remains are discovered and a suspect is identified, everyone who had any connection with her feels implicated in her tragedy and haunted by what they could have done to prevent it. The Cold Song is a story about telling stories and about how life is continually invented and reinvented.
