Gord Stewart, 40 years old, single, moved back into his suburban childhood home to care for his widowed father. But his father no longer needs care and Gord is stuck in limbo.

Download or read book The Breaks written by Julietta Singh and published by Coach House Books. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profound meditation on race, inheritance, and queer mothering at the end of the world. In a letter to her six-year-old daughter, Julietta Singh ventures toward a tender vision of the future, lifting up children’s radical embrace of possibility as a model for how we might live. If we wish to survive looming political and ecological disasters, Singh urges, we must break from the conventions we have inherited and orient ourselves toward revolutionary paths that might yet set us free. "The Breaks is amazing—I read the whole thing through in one sitting. It’s got the heft and staying power of Baldwin’s 'A Letter to My Nephew.'" —Lauren Berlant, author of Cruel Optimism “If a book can be a hole cut in the side of an existence in order to escape it, or to find a way through what is otherwise impassable, then this is that kind of book … How will we live in the new space that we keep making, through refusal but also adjustment, the necessary accommodations to the ‘nowhere and nothing’ that this space also is? The Breaks leads us through such moments, questions, and scenes, with tenderness. And deep care.” —Bhanu Kapil, author of How to Wash a Heart “This is a lens-shifting book, an immeasurable gift. With poignant, aching, beautiful, and deeply loving prose, Singh brings Brown girls into the sun, and makes you want to change the ways of the world for our young people and for us all.” —Imani Perry, author of Breathe: A Letter to My Sons “Julietta Singh is exactly the kind of company I want for the ride, to bear witness to the pains and pleasures of our being here, in these bodies, in these times.” —Maggie Nelson, author of The Argonauts, on No Archive Will Restore You
Download or read book House of Iron written by Rojana Krait and published by . This book was released on 2024-02-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An action-packed sapphic vampire tale that spirals through spaces both physical and conceptual, disrupting the boundaries between masculinity and femininity, friend and lover, savior and oppressor. House of Iron features a genderqueer heroine running from their past, a found family experiencing growing pains, and a macabre dance of the dead that will leave you breathless and afraid to ask for more. I’ve always existed in the most liminal spaces: masculine or feminine, monster or hero, living or dead. I never really wanted to stay anywhere or be anyone for very long until my sisters found me, and for the briefest of moments, I had a real home. In the afterlife I became a new person; the kind of person that I never dreamt that I could be when I lived, and I committed myself to making sure that no other child had to endure the pain that created me. I believe in our work, so when my sisters break their vow never to take mates I want to be happy for them, but the truth is that I’m spiraling. I’m so alone again and that’s when she walks into my afterlife, my Vivienne, the only woman I’ve ever met who understands that sometimes, the only way to live with yourself is to keep becoming someone else. Now I want to be the person that she needs me to be, but what if that means resurrecting all the selves that I’ve worked so hard to bury?

Download or read book Pipe Bible and Peyote among the Oglala Lakota written by Paul B. Steinmetz, S.J. and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Paul B. Steinmetz worked among the Oglala Lakota in South Dakota, he prayed with the Sacred Pipe, conversed with medicine men, and participated in their religious ceremonies. Steinmetz describes the history, belief systems, and contemporary ceremonies of three religious groups among the Oglala Lakota: traditional Lakota religion, the Native American Church, and the Body of Christ Independent Church, a small Pentecostal group. On the basis of these descriptions, Steinmetz discusses the interdynamics of Pipe, Bible, and Peyote, and offers a model for understanding Oglala religious identity. Steinmetz maintains that a sense of sacramentalism is essential in understanding Native American religions and that the mutual influence between Lakota religion and Christianity has been far more extensive than most scholars have suggested.
