Download or read book Conversations with Jim Harrison Revised and Updated written by Robert DeMott and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conversations with Jim Harrison, Revised and Updated offers a judicious selection of interviews spanning the writing career of Jim Harrison (1937–2016) from its beginnings in the 1960s to the last interview he gave weeks before his death in March 2016. Harrison labeled himself and lived as a “quadra-schizoid” writer. He worked in fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and screenwriting, and he published more than forty books that attracted an international following. These interviews supply a lively narrative of his progress as a major contemporary American author. This collection showcases Harrison's pet peeves, his candor and humility, his sense of humor, and his patience. He does not shy from his authorial obsessions, especially his efforts to hone the novella, for which he is considered a contemporary master, or the frequency with which he defied polite narrative conventions and created memorable, resolute female characters. Each conversation attests to the depth and range of Harrison’s considerable intellectual and political preoccupations, his fierce social and ecological conscience, his aesthetic beliefs, and his stylistic orientations in poetry and prose.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chilling tome that launched an entire genre of books about the often gruesome but always tragic ways people have died in our national parks, this updated edition of the classic includes calamities in Yellowstone from the past sixteen years, including the infamous grizzly bear attacks in the summer of 2011 as well as a fatal hot springs accident in 2000.

Download or read book A Conversation about The Eternal Life of Stuff written by Becky Civjan and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2024-05-20 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine sitting in a cafe, sharing a running conversation with a good friend about all the wonderful things life has brought to your table. You’re probably also sharing a piece of freshly baked apple pie as you discuss this book that both of you have just finished reading. All the stuff in your life that you’ve been holding onto becomes part of the conversation. Collections of comic books, closets filled with long-forgotten but still-loved stuff, and even the rock collection in the back of your sock drawer comes alive through the stories that “The Eternal Life of Stuff” hands to you. Where has all your stuff gone? Did you give it to charity or sell it at a yard sale? Maybe you simply lost it. All this is what this book is about. Even more, it illuminates something of greater value than the things you’ve collected. This book shines the bright light of conversation into the sometimes-dim corners of memory. “The Eternal Life of Stuff” – sometimes sad, but mostly uplifting and full of humor – is about experiencing the energy of memory. During a lull in this cafe conversation, your friend asks, “Please pass the sugar?” You happily comply, and as you do, your hands briefly touch. Yet, it is enough, and your conversation continues. This book is that sweet. You both get up to leave, and the conversation lingers in your memories, adding a beautiful layer of depth and meaning to your friendship. This is the really good stuff that binds you together. It is the stuff that reminds you what is important and what is not; the stuff that lives, not just in the hearts of these two imagined friends, but in all hearts – eternally.

Download or read book Rediscovering Wonderland written by M. Mark Miller and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the nineteenth century people could gain fame and fortune by “discovering” and documenting things that were already known to exist like the source of the Nile and the North Pole. For decades trappers and prospectors had told about the wonders of the area that became Yellowstone Park, but no credible person had written about the falls, canyons, and geysers there. An ambitious politician, Nathaniel P. Langford, decided to make his name by promoting an expedition and publicizing its activities in 1870. An army lieutenant named Gustavus Doane maneuvered to lead the expedition’s army escort for the same reason. Their written accounts of the big “discovery” of Wonderland were the basis for the park’s founding in 1872. Rediscovering Wonderland brings together the words of these men, along with images of the expedition, to provide historical context for the exploration and founding of America’s first national park.
