Book excerpt: After so many years, Ye Yining saw Gu Xizhou again. He was just like the aloof and proud youth from many years ago. He had passed through the time when people went to live, and it seemed that he came only for her. Only, there was no longer any reflection that belonged to her in his eyes. He was clearly the lover he loved the most, but now, he was standing not too far away from her, yet his words were like a heavy hammer that struck her heart one word at a time.
Download or read book The Creative Critic written by Katja Hilevaara and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As practitioner-researchers, how do we discuss and analyse our work without losing the creative drive that inspired us in the first place? Built around a diverse selection of writings from leading researcher-practitioners and emerging artists in a variety of fields, The Creative Critic: Writing as/about Practice celebrates the extraordinary range of possibilities available when writing about one’s own work and the work one is inspired by. It re-thinks the conventions of the scholarly output to propose that critical writing be understood as an integral part of the artistic process, and even as artwork in its own right. Finding ways to make the intangible nature of much of our work ‘count’ under assessment has become increasingly important in the Academy and beyond. The Creative Critic offers an inspiring and useful sourcebook for students and practitioner-researchers navigating this area. Please see the companion site to the book, http://www.creativecritic.co.uk, where some of the chapters have become unfixed from the page.

Book excerpt: A book about life, loss, and the secrets families keep, reminiscent of Sharon Creech's Walk Two Moons, by National Book Award nominee Lisa Graff. CJ's Aunt Nic is a psychic medium who tours the country speaking to spirits from Far Away, passing on messages from the dearly departed. And CJ knows firsthand how comforting those messages can be -- Aunt Nic's Gift is the only way CJ can talk to her mom, who died just hours after she was born. So when CJ learns that she won't be able to speak to her mother anymore, even with Aunt Nic's help, she's determined to find a work-around. She sets off on road trip with her new friend Jax to locate the one object that she believes will tether her mother's spirit back to Earth . . . but what she finds along the way challenges every truth she's ever known. Ultimately, CJ has to sort out the reality from the lies. National Book Award nominee Lisa Graff has written a poignant, heartfelt novel that explores the lengths we go to protect those we love -- and the power secrets have to change our worlds. Praise for Far Away: * "Graff nimbly crafts a credible novel from the unlikely, shaping layered characters and unforeseen plot twists while exploring issues of truth and illusion--and the emotion-infused miasma that separates the two. A genuinely moving and memorable story." --Publishers Weekly, *STARRED REVIEW* "The story is a genre blend of mystery and realistic family drama . . . Graff never shies away from difficult topics, and this is as brave as expected." --Booklist

Download or read book Glass Souls written by Maurizio de Giovanni and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighth Commissario Ricciardi historical mystery from the author of The Bottom of Your Heart “will surprise readers at every turn” (La Reppublica). In the abyss of a profound personal crisis, Commissario Ricciardi feels unable to open himself up to life. He has refused the love of both Enrica and Livia and the friendship of his partner, Maione. Contentment for Ricciardi proves as elusive as clues to the latest crime he has been asked to investigate. The beautiful, haughty Bianca, countess of Roccaspina, pleads with Ricciardi to investigate a homicide that was officially closed months ago. In the tense, charged atmosphere of 1930s Italy, where Benito Mussolini and his fascist thugs monitor the police closely, an unauthorized investigation is grounds for immediate dismissal and possible criminal charges. But Ricciardi’s thirst for justice cannot be sated. A tightly plotted historical noir novel, this eighth installment in the Commissario Ricciardi series is a gripping meditation on revenge and justice in which each character’s soul reveals itself to be made of glass. “The construction of Glass Souls is remarkable. It’s like a very sophisticated mosaic in which each protagonist occupies precisely the right amount of space.” —La Reppublica “Love, longing, and loss suffuse de Giovanni’s elegiac, autumnal eighth Commissario Ricciardi mystery set in 1930s Naples . . . Though Ricciardi risks infuriating his bosses—and unknowingly even greater danger from the Fascist forces who have him under surveillance—he can’t resist the conundrum. Nor in all likelihood will readers.” —Publishers Weekly “A must read for those interested in exploring International Noir.” —Mystery Tribune
Download or read book Corruption on the Astral Plane written by Jimi Roma and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-12-12 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four people have been leaving bits of writing up a tree. On the ground, defences are being built. Meanwhile, the government is minding its own business trying to build a road, and assembling a conscript army of private detectives and security guards to protect it. You may not believe in global warming. You may not be worrying about it. You may have air conditioning in your SUV. But some people have had a dream. That people can live off the planet and let the planet live on. That we can get over our obsession with progress. That we don't need growth and greed to make us fat and lazy. Others have been taking that dream away. Or perhaps they put it there in the first place. This is a story of ordinary people taking political action for the environment. I suppose you could call it science fiction.

Download or read book Dyed Souls written by Gary Santorella and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dyed Souls takes on the human cost of destructive behaviour, in both a Darwinian and Philosophical context. It symbolises the growing ethical ambiguity of current American culture and examines the notion of identity in a civilisation lacking in substantive culture. Set in the 1980’s, Dyed Souls follows the life of 13-year-old Charlie; an intelligent, troubled teen, taken from his grandparents by his drug addicted mother, only to end up at Hawthorne Residential Treatment Village. There he ponders Darwin, Socrates, and Plato, and unexpectedly falls in love with a girl named Margo. When she breaks his heart, Charlie runs away, beginning a new journey that will leave him shattered before he finally makes it to Virginia. Back with his grandparents, the return of his mother forces him to learn a bitter truth that changes his life forever. Dyed Souls is more a work of philosophy than psychology, examining an America where the notion of living an ethical life has become increasingly vague, superficial, and distorted, and its implications for a species capable of both great cruelty and great compassion. It is a thought-provoking, gritty novel, highlighting how blatant self-interest and prurient self-gratification has replaced the pursuit of wisdom and reason. It will appeal to fans of literary fiction and philosophical literature. A coming-of-age novel, it is suitable for both young adult and adult readers.
Download or read book Like Soldiers Everywhere written by Fred Skolnik and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2020-03-08 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young woman and an American-Israeli soldier meet at a café in Jerusalem, enjoy each others' company, and fall in love. Upon her return to America, they begin writing letters back and forth. Eventually they meet again. Their story is sweet, simple, and breathtakingly beautiful, but in the background, the unrest in Israel foreshadows and finally demands the ultimate sacrifice. This is a tragic love story set just before the Six-Day War involving two young Americans -- and representing, in effect, the tragic end of the Zionist dream itself, perhaps too fragile in its purity and innocence to endure.

Download or read book Ten Years After the Future written by Bill Stamos and published by Rogue Phoenix Press. This book was released on with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Begin a captivating journey into an era that was both a time of overly indulgent forays into hedonism, as well as a unique period in our nation’s history, when young Americans, politicized by the draft and the horrors of the Vietnam War, awakened to their sense of self and took responsibility for building a finer world. By the author of Border Crossings, this is an incisive portrayal into the essence of the American Myth as it played out on campuses and communes, in financial districts, and killing fields. It is a bright light on a time of revolutionary change, granting access to the thoughts, feelings and experiences of vividly drawn characters along side some of the cultural and political icons of the era. Sisters, Donna and Sally are bookends of the times trying to carve out their own ideals of peace and romance.
