Download or read book Townie A Memoir written by Andre Dubus III and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2011-02-23 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dubus relives, absent self-pity or blame, a life shaped by bouts of violence and flurries of tenderness." —Vanity Fair After their parents divorced in the 1970s, Andre Dubus III and his three siblings grew up with their overworked mother in a depressed Massachusetts mill town saturated with drugs and everyday violence. Nearby, his father, an eminent author, taught on a college campus and took the kids out on Sundays. The clash between town and gown, between the hard drinking, drugging, and fighting of "townies" and the ambitions of students debating books and ideas, couldn’t have been more stark. In this unforgettable memoir, acclaimed novelist Dubus shows us how he escaped the cycle of violence and found empathy in channeling the stories of others—bridging, in the process, the rift between his father and himself.
Download or read book Where the Devil Don t Stay written by Stephen Deusner and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1996, Patterson Hood recruited friends and fellow musicians in Athens, Georgia, to form his dream band: a group with no set lineup that specialized in rowdy rock and roll. The Drive-By Truckers, as they named themselves, grew into one of the best and most consequential rock bands of the twenty-first century, a great live act whose songs deliver the truth and nuance rarely bestowed on Southerners, so often reduced to stereotypes. Where the Devil Don’t Stay tells the band’s unlikely story not chronologically but geographically. Seeing the Truckers’ albums as roadmaps through a landscape that is half-real, half-imagined, their fellow Southerner Stephen Deusner travels to the places the band’s members have lived in and written about. Tracking the band from Muscle Shoals, Alabama, to Richmond, Virginia, to the author’s hometown in McNairy County, Tennessee, Deusner explores the Truckers’ complex relationship to the South and the issues of class, race, history, and religion that run through their music. Drawing on new interviews with past and present band members, including Jason Isbell, Where the Devil Don’t Stay is more than the story of a great American band; it’s a reflection on the power of music and how it can frame and shape a larger culture.

It is the story of a period of time that although recent, seems distant in our memory. In many ways, it is as relevant now as it was then. Leonard Stephens is a young man born into the caste system of the agrarian South who volunteers for the United States Army almost as soon as Pearl Harbor is bombed. His bravery and exemplary service results in quick promotion through the army's ranks and he becomes heavily decorated for his actions. For a brief time he is recognized nationally for his heroic actions. He returns home to rural West Tennessee and nothing has changed, despite what he has done for his country. His attempt at supporting his family through honest means fail and he is forced to support them another way. Law enforcement officials throughout the country commonly look the other way when local men like Leonard are in control of criminal activity. They believe it will keep kingpins that are more dangerous away from their neighborhoods. However, the legendary Sheriff Buford Pusser refuses to look away and wants to take Leonard down, but winds up on the receiving end. Leonard finds redemption under the most unlikely circumstances. This is a story of a person's powerful transformation. Although primarily a book of crime fiction, the reader will go on a journey exploring timeless topics such as the problem of evil and the events surrounding World War II. The reader will also explore timely topics such as the effects of war on soldiers along with their family.

Download or read book Shell Shocked written by Howard Kaylan and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Book). If Howard Kaylan had sung only one song, the Turtles' 1967 No. 1 smash hit "Happy Together," his place in rock-and-roll history would still be secure. But that recording, named in 1999 by BMI as one of the top 50 songs of the 20th century, with over five million radio plays, is only the tip of a rather eye-opening iceberg. For nearly five decades, Howard Kaylan has been a player in the rock-and-roll revolution. In addition to his years with the Turtles, Kaylan was a core member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention and the dynamic duo Flo and Eddie, and part of glam rock history with Marc Bolan and T. Rex. He's also given street cred and harmonies to everyone from John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen and Alice Cooper to the Ramones and Duran Duran, to name just a few. Howard Kaylan's life has been a dangerous ride that he is only too happy to report on, naming names and shedding shocking tales of sex, drugs, and creative excess. Shell Shocked will stand alone as not only one of the best-told music-biz memoirs, but one with a truly candid and unmatchable story of rock-and-roll insanity and success from a man who glories in it all.
