Download or read book Blaming Japhy Rider the Email Chronicles written by Philip A. Bralich and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2012-06-19 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emails in this volume chronicle and document some of the story presented in the memoir. There are perhaps one hundred or so more, which may be added in later editions or a separate volume. The earlier emails demonstrate a far weaker, far less studied experienced relationship to the topics discussed in the book. Those in this volume are a good example of the later emails. There is also a second project by the author with a similar set of email chronicles. This is TaxTheRichDotName email series and reflects the authors involvement in recent political efforts to redress the current distribution of wealth in the country. For more on either of the Email Chronicles and on both projects, the reader is referred to http://www.blamingjaphyrider.com and http://www.taxtherich.name.

Download or read book Common Cents written by Philip A. Bralich and published by BalboaPress. This book was released on 2012-06-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The TaxTheRichDotName e-mails evolved as an effort to draw attention and popularize the authors view of a quick and easy solution to the problem of income disparity and the distribution of wealth in the United States today. Specifically, that solution is to obviate the need for all of Marxist (both sides, communist and capitalist) idealism and all of aristocratic excess via movement to tax the rich thoroughly, profoundly, repeatedly, and punitively via the vote until the wealthy sit up straight, fold their hands on the table, admit they were wrong, apologize, and put the money bank. Votes, not money, move the US system, and voters, not the wealthy, are the true authority. There is no need to kill the aristocrats and no need to oppress the poor. All that is required is to tax the rich.

Book excerpt: Inspired by and responding to Jack Kerouacs Dharma Bums, this memoir details the psychological and spiritual triumph over severe psychological difficulties caused by a series of traumas endured in the Peace Corps in West Africa in 1978. Surveying the spiritual landscape of America through the seventies to the present in Zen, Tibetan Buddhist, New Age and Christian movements, this memoir describes the journey of author Philip A. Bralichs life, beginning as a twenty-something, leftist, married, seventies idealist in the Peace Corps in West Africa, through an accident in the bush that cost his wife her life and himself much of the use of he left leg, and through the growing and debilitating psychological difficulties that were finally resolved through wide reading and personal experience of many of the spiritual and psychological movements of those four decades. The book commences in West Africa in 1978 but also goes back to as early as 1973, just four years after Jack Kerouac died.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kerouac. Ginsberg. Burroughs. These are the most famous names of the Beat Generation, but in fact they were only the front line of a much more wide-ranging literary and cultural movement. This critical history takes readers through key works by these authors, but also radiates out to discuss dozens more writers and their works, showing how they all contributed to one of the most far-reaching literary movements of the post-World War II era.

Download or read book Post Black written by Ytasha L. Womack and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a young journalist covering black life at large, author Ytasha L. Womack was caught unaware when she found herself straddling black culture's rarely acknowledged generation gaps and cultural divides. Traditional images show blacks unified culturally, politically, and socially, united by race at venues such as churches and community meetings. But in the “post black” era, even though individuals define themselves first as black, they do not necessarily define themselves by tradition as much as by personal interests, points of view, and lifestyle. In Post Black: How a New Generation Is Redefining African American Identity, Womack takes a fresh look at dynamics shaping the lives of contemporary African Americans. Although grateful to generations that have paved the way, many cannot relate to the rhetoric of pundits who speak as ambassadors of black life any more than they see themselves in exaggerated hip-hop images. Combining interviews, opinions of experts, and extensive research, Post Black will open the eyes of some, validate the lives of others, and provide a realistic picture of the expanding community.

Book excerpt: In this outlandish re-working of Euripides' "Medea," Gator Hedgepeth, a former Mississippi football star, plans to abandon his wife My Deah ¿ an ex-beauty queen from Louisiana ¿ and marry Simplicity Bullard, the daughter of the corrupt Mississippi governor. My Deah's bridge-playing buddies show up to play their weekly card game. Instead they get the domestic scoop from the touchy housekeeper Lillie V., and the physical education tutor of My Deah's sons, closeted homosexual Coach McCallister. My Deah confronts her card-dealing friends as well as the Governor, and she lays her bloody plans. Her vengefulness leads to the murders of trashy Simplicity and her father, and ultimately to the deaths of her own senseless sons, Skipper and Scooter. Deus ex machina, faux-Greekstyle, enables My Deah to attempt getaway to anonymity in wild, inebriated, immediately pre- Hurricane Katrina New Orleans. She hits the road, leaving Gator behind to live with the tragedy wrought by MY DEAH.
Download or read book Day Out of Days written by Sam Shepard and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2010-01-12 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most admired writers: a collection of stories set mainly in the fertile imaginative landscape of the American West, written with the terse lyricism, cinematic detail, and wry humor that have become Sam Shepard’s trademarks. A man traveling down Highway 90 West gets trapped alone overnight inside a Cracker Barrel restaurant, where he is tormented by an endless loop of Shania Twain songs on the overhead sound system. A wandering actor returns to his hometown against his better instincts and runs into an old friend, who recounts their teenage days of stealing cars, scoring Benzedrine, and sleeping with whores in Tijuana. A Minnesota family travels south for a winter vacation but, caught up in the ordinary tyrannies of family life, remains oblivious to the beauty of the Yucatán Peninsula. A solitary horse rancher muses on Sitting Bull and Beckett amid the jumble of stuff in his big country kitchen—from rusted spurs and Lakota dream-catchers to yellowing pictures of hawks and galloping horses to “snapshots of different sons in different shirts doing different things like fishing, riding mules and tractors; leaning up against their different mothers at radical angles.” Made up of short narratives, lyrics, and dialogues, Day out of Days sets conversation against tale, song against memory, in a cubistic counterpoint that finally links each piece together. The result is a stunning work of vision and clarity imbued with the vivid reverberations of myth—Shepard at his flinty-eyed, unwavering best.
