Book excerpt: Lady Bag, released at last from prison, is greeted by her friends and reunited with her best-loved companion greyhound, Electra. She has been sober for months, and her friends want to keep her on the straight and narrow. What could possibly go wrong? About Lady Bag Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up for a whole novel. Lady Bag is perfectly realized (Sara Paretsky). A great read. Lady Bag is a wonderful addition to your line-up of unforgettable women characters. I was deeply involved in her life and situation from page 1. Great dialogue as ever and some gorgeous imagery. It all added up to a book Im sorry to close (Peter Lovesey). Its the sharp writing as much as the unusual setting that makes this book such a joy. Codys dialogue is always funny and full of purpose, and here shes found her perfect protagonista creative mangler of platitudes and uncontrollable shredder of pomp and hypocrisy (Mat Coward, The Morning Star).

Download or read book Inside the Crocodile written by Trish Nicholson and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wilds of the most diverse nation on earth, while she copes with crocodiles under the blackboard and sorcery in the office, Trish Nicholson survives near-fatal malaria and mollifies irascible politicians and an ever-changing roster of bosses – realities of life for a development worker. With a background in anthropology and a successful management career in Europe, five years on a development project in the remote West Sepik province of Papua New Guinea more than fulfils Trish Nicholson’s desire for a challenge. In extreme tropical conditions, with few only sometimes-passable roads, travel is by a balus – an alarmingly tiny plane, landing on airstrips cut with grass knives and squeezed between mountains. Students build their own schools, babies’ weights are recorded in rice bags and women walk for days, carrying their produce to market. Physically tested by dense jungle and swaying vine bridges, Trish’s patience is stretched by nothing ever being what it seems and with ‘yes’ usually meaning ‘no’. Assignments in isolated outstations provide surreal moments, like the 80-year-old missionary in long friar’s robes revealing natty turquoise shorts as he tears away on an ancient motorbike. Adventures on nearby Pacific islands relieve the intensity of life in a close-knit community of nationals and a cosmopolitan mix of expat ‘characters’. Local women offer friendship, but their stories are often heart-breaking. More chaos arrives with Frisbee, the dog she inherits when the project manager leaves, along with other project expats. Tensions increase between local factions supporting the project and those who feel threatened by it – and stuck in the middle is Trish. Her emotionally engaging memoir Inside the Crocodile is full of humour, adventure, iron determination and... Frisbee the dog. It is beautifully illustrated with colour photos of Trish’s time there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in hardback in 2003, Are You There Crocodile? is now available in paperback. Michael Pennington’s work on his solo show about Anton Chekhov has taken London’s ‘Russian Actor’ from the Trans-Siberian Railway to Soviet and post-Soviet Moscow, into the repertoires of the National Theatre and the Old Vic and across Europe. Are You There, Crocodile? also includes accounts of his work on Dostoevsky’s Crime and Punishment, Tolstoy’s Strider and other Russian projects, as well as searching essays on how Chekhov’s four masterpieces actually work in the theatre. This book is a study of the great writer, a partial autobiography, and, centrally, an actor’s search for identification with the elusive Anton Chekhov himself "the story, humorously told, of an unlikely but tangible companionship."

Download or read book Crocodile Undone written by Marcus Baynes-Rock and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2020-03-24 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world, animals are being domesticated at an unprecedented rate and scale. But what exactly is domestication, and what does it tell us about ourselves? In this book, Marcus Baynes-Rock seeks the common thread linking stories about the domestication of Australia's native animals, arguing that domestication is part of a process by which late modernity threatens to undo the world. In a deeply personal account, the author tells of his encounters with crocodiles and emus behind fences, dingoes and kangaroos crossing boundaries, and native bees producing honey in his suburban backyard. Drawing on comparisons between Aboriginal and colonial Australians, Baynes-Rock reveals how the domestication of Australia’s fauna is a process of “unmaking.” As an extension of late modernity, the connections that tie humans and other animals to wider ecologies are being severed, threatening to isolate us and our domesticates from the rest of the world. It is here that Baynes-Rock reveals a key difference between Aboriginal and colonial Australian modes of landscape management: while one is focused on a systemic approach and sees humans as integral to ecological integrity, the other seeks to sever domesticates from ecological processes. The question that emerges is: How might we reconfigure and maintain these connections without undoing humanity? Written in the author’s characteristically frank, passionate, and humorous style, Crocodile Undone takes the reader on a journey across both physical and philosophical landscapes. This fascinating narrative will appeal to anyone interested in the vital connections between humans and animals.
Download or read book Notes of a Crocodile written by Qiu Miaojin and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2017-05-02 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2018 LUCIEN STRYK ASIAN TRANSLATION PRIZE The English-language premiere of Qiu Miaojin's coming-of-age novel about queer teenagers in Taiwan, a cult classic in China and winner of the 1995 China Times Literature Award. An NYRB Classics Original Set in the post-martial-law era of late-1980s Taipei, Notes of a Crocodile is a coming-of-age story of queer misfits discovering love, friendship, and artistic affinity while hardly studying at Taiwan’s most prestigious university. Told through the eyes of an anonymous lesbian narrator nicknamed Lazi, this cult classic is a postmodern pastiche of diaries, vignettes, mash notes, aphorisms, exegesis, and satire by an incisive prose stylist and major countercultural figure. Afflicted by her fatalistic attraction to Shui Ling, an older woman, Lazi turns for support to a circle of friends that includes a rich kid turned criminal and his troubled, self-destructive gay lover, as well as a bored, mischievous overachiever and her alluring slacker artist girlfriend. Illustrating a process of liberation from the strictures of gender through radical self-inquiry, Notes of a Crocodile is a poignant masterpiece of social defiance by a singular voice in contemporary Chinese literature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cold-hearted criminal and a woman on the run. A bushfire, racing across the Australian bush, eating up everything in its path… None of this is quite what Georgie B. Goode, 8th generation gypsy, expected in her first month in Australia! After telling Georgie that one day he will take her to visit all the places he has told her about in Australia, Scott Mowbray has persuaded her to spend a year exploring the country with him. Of course, Georgie couldn't leave her crystal ball behind, and just because she's way 'Down Under' in the southern hemisphere, that doesn't mean that she will stop attracting trouble! People who need Georgie and her unique skills always seem to find her, wherever she is. Georgie and Scott start their road trip on the Gold Coast Hinterland in Queensland, Australia. There, on their family property, Scott's parents have established a private campground for RVers. As an act of kindness, they let a woman called Shirley stay on as their caretaker. But Shirley has a secret. She's running from something in her past, and that past is about to catch up with her. Georgie can't just walk away—but with an out-of-control bushfire roaring towards the property, the danger is terrifying.

As she entered the early years of adulthood, however, questions crept in and her faith was shaken, and she eventually realized that she and the members of her church were “worlds apart.” Alligator Pants is a collection of musings, reflections, and experiences told in a series of transparent essays.

An insightful read not only for those in the “deconversion” process but their family and friends as well, Alligator Pants is like a conversation with an old friend—relaxed, refreshing, and real.
