Download or read book Gone to New York written by Ian Frazier and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2006-08-22 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to Ian Frazier's New York, a city more downtown than up, where every block is an event, and where the denizens are larger than life. Meet landlord extraordinaire Zvi Hugo Segal, and the man who climbed the World Trade Center, and an eighty-three-year-old typewriter repairman whose shop on Fulton Street has drawers full of umlauts. Learn the location of Manhattan's antipodes, and meander the length of Route 3 to New Jersey. Like his literary forbears Joseph Mitchell and A.J. Liebling, Frazier, in his bewitching, inimitable voice, makes us fall in love with America's greatest city all over again, the way he did, arriving as a young man from Hudson, Ohio. In classic evocations of the F train, Canal Street, and Prospect Park, Brooklyn, and in his iconic "Bags in Trees" essay, Frazier gives us New York again, in all its vital and human multiplicity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual guide will take the tourist or the armchair traveler to literary landmarks throughout the South and Southwest. The great tradition of Southern literature comes alive in the homes of writers like Sidney Lanier, Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Kate Chopin, and William Faulkner. Included are many early American authors like Captain John Smith and William Byrd of Virginia, Davy Crockett of Tennessee, and Edgar Allen Poe, as well as the major figures of twentieth-century writing, like Flannery O'Connor, Thomas Wolfe, and Ernest Hemingway. The rich and colorful writing of the Southwest is also fully covered--from Zane Grey's hunting lodge in Arizona and the locales of the works of J. Frank Dobie to the mystical landscape of New Mexico that inspired Willa Cather and D.H. Lawrence. Unexpected and offbeat places are also described: St. Simons Island, Georgia, where Fanny Kemble wrote a fascinating journal; the Rugby Restoration in Tennessee; Fort Gibson, Oklahoma, from where Washington Irving set off on a trip across the prairie; the settings of writings about the Indians of the Southwest.

Download or read book A Literary Field Guide to Southern Appalachia written by Rose McLarney and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting acquainted with local flora and fauna is the perfect way to begin to understand the wonder of nature. The natural environment of Southern Appalachia, with habitats that span the Blue Ridge to the Cumberland Plateau, is one of the most biodiverse on earth. A Literary Field Guide to Southern Appalachia—a hybrid literary and natural history anthology—showcases sixty of the many species indigenous to the region. Ecologically, culturally, and artistically, Southern Appalachia is rich in paradox and stereotype-defying complexity. Its species range from the iconic and inveterate—such as the speckled trout, pileated woodpecker, copperhead, and black bear—to the elusive and endangered—such as the American chestnut, Carolina gorge moss, chucky madtom, and lampshade spider. The anthology brings together art and science to help the reader experience this immense ecological wealth. Stunning images by seven Southern Appalachian artists and conversationally written natural history information complement contemporary poems from writers such as Ellen Bryant Voigt, Wendell Berry, Janisse Ray, Sean Hill, Rebecca Gayle Howell, Deborah A. Miranda, Ron Rash, and Mary Oliver. Their insights illuminate the wonders of the mountain South, fostering intimate connections. The guide is an invitation to get to know Appalachia in the broadest, most poetic sense.
