Book Synopsis The News Where You Are by : Catherine O'Flynn
Download or read book The News Where You Are written by Catherine O'Flynn and published by Bond Street Books. This book was released on 2010-07-06 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A heartbreaking, yet hilarious, novel from the author of the best-selling, prize-winning What Was Lost. The News Where You Are tells the funny, touching story of Frank, a local TV news presenter in England. Beneath his awkwardly corny screen persona, Frank is haunted by disappearances: the mysterious hit-and-run that killed his predecessor Phil Smethway; the demolition of his father's post-war brutalist architecture; and the unmarked passing of those who die alone in the city. Frank struggles to make sense of these absences whilst having to report endless local news stories and trying to cope with his resolutely miserable mother. The result is that rare thing: a page-turning novel that asks the big questions in an accessible way, and is laugh-out-loud funny, genuinely moving and ultimately uplifting.
Book Synopsis Do You Talk Funny? by : David Nihill
Download or read book Do You Talk Funny? written by David Nihill and published by BenBella Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public speaking can be terrifying. For David Nihill, the idea of standing in front of an audience was scarier than cliff jumping into a thorny pit of spiders and mothers-in-law. Without a parachute or advanced weaponry. Something had to change. In what doesn't sound like the best plan ever, David decided to overcome his fears by pretending to be an accomplished comedian called "Irish Dave" for one full year, crashing as many comedy clubs, festivals, and shows as possible. One part of the plan was at least logical: he was already Irish and already called Dave. In one year, David went from being deathly afraid of public speaking to hosting a business conference, regularly performing stand-up comedy and winning storytelling competitions in front of packed houses. And he did it by learning from some of the best public speakers in the world: stand-up comedians. Do You Talk Funny?: 7 Comedy Habits to Become a Better (and Funnier) Public Speaker shows how the key principles of stand-up comedy can be applied to your speaking engagements and presentations to make you funnier, more interesting, and better looking. (Or at least two of the three.) Whether you are preparing for a business presentation, giving a wedding toast, defending your thesis, raising money from investors, or simply want to take on something you're afraid of, this book will take you from sweaty to stage-ready. You'll learn how to: - Craft a story and content that your audience will want to listen to - Find the funniest parts of your material and how to get to them faster - Deal with stage fright - Master the two most important parts of your performance: timing and delivery Ten percent of the author's proceeds from this book will go to Arash Bayatmakou via Help Hope Live until he is fully back on his feet and thereafter to one of the many facing the same challenges after suffering a severe spinal cord injury.

Book Synopsis Contemporary Irish Theatre and Social Change by : Emer O'Toole
Download or read book Contemporary Irish Theatre and Social Change written by Emer O'Toole and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the social transformation that has taken place in Ireland from the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1993 to the repeal of the 8th amendment in 2018 as backdrop to examine relationships between activism and contemporary Irish theatre and performance. It studies art explicitly intended to create social and political change for marginalised constituencies. It asks what happens to theatre aesthetics when artists’ aims are political and argues that activist commitments can create new modes of beauty, meaning, and affect. Categories of race, class, sexuality, and gender frame chapters, provide social context, and identify activist artists’ social targets. This book provides in depth analysis of: Arambe – Ireland’s first African theatre company; THEATREclub – an experimental collective with issues of class at its heart; The International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival; and feminist artists working to Repeal the 8th amendment. It highlights the aesthetic strategies that emerge when artists set their sights on justice. Aesthetic debates, both historical and contemporary, are laid out from first principles, inviting readers to situate themselves – whether as artists, activists, or scholars – in the delicious tension between art and life. This book will be a vital guide to students and scholars interested in theatre and performance studies, gender studies, Irish history, and activism.

Book Synopsis The Irish and the Origins of American Popular Culture by : Christopher Dowd
Download or read book The Irish and the Origins of American Popular Culture written by Christopher Dowd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the intersection between the assimilation of the Irish into American life and the emergence of an American popular culture, which took place at the same historical moment in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During this period, the Irish in America underwent a period of radical change. Initially existing as a marginalized, urban-dwelling, immigrant community largely comprised of survivors of the Great Famine and those escaping its aftermath, Irish Americans became an increasingly assimilated group with new social, political, economic, and cultural opportunities open to them. Within just a few generations, Irish-American life transformed so significantly that grandchildren hardly recognized the world in which their grandparents had lived. This pivotal period of transformation for Irish Americans was heavily shaped and influenced by emerging popular culture, and in turn, the Irish-American experience helped shape the foundations of American popular culture in such a way that the effects are still noticeable today. Dowd investigates the primary segments of early American popular culture—circuses, stage shows, professional sports, pulp fiction, celebrity culture, and comic strips—and uncovers the entanglements these segments had with the development of Irish-American identity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood may be thicker than water, but if Anya doesn't stop the Bodach all of Elphame will pay the price. Anya was thrilled to be reunited with her father, legendary giant the Bodach. The rest of the world, not so much. With Chris by her side and her powers at their peak, Anya, the Queen of Winter, did the unthinkable and freed her father and brothers from their stone prisons. After all, now that all of Elphame knew of the Seelie King’s treachery it seemed like the right thing to do. But Elphame was no longer a land where giants roamed, and most were wary of Bod and the boys. Adding to the unease was the lack of information about the Seelie Queen. Nicnevin remained missing, and no one knew if she was alive or dead. Her absence coupled with the Seelie King’s exile meant there was a power vacuum in Elphame, one the Bodach was all too eager to fill. Spurned by his wife, the Bodach allied with an ancient evil who was lying in wait for a chance to take Elphame for himself. The only person powerful enough to stand in their way is Anya.

Book excerpt: Constantly in today's world, the Church has had to deal with a growing threat to its stability, that of rebellion against the very word of God in such a strong force that saying anything about the Bible in public forums brings a mass of abuse from the public. Chesterton recognized that this was happening back in his day and tried to address going concerns. The issues he raised nearly a century ago still ring true today and are as applicable now as they were back when this work was originally published.
