Download or read book Key West Rogue Diaries written by Will Soto and published by R. R. Bowker. This book was released on 2020-07-25 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Key West fire that burns in my soul didn't start as a conflagration. It started as a nice warm sun on my face-and it started at Mallory Square. Imagine stumbling upon a beach party on a small tropical island, with barely clad natives, their bodies glistening with sweat, dancing to primal drum beats, smoking ritual herbs, and drinking rum from coconuts as the sun sank slowly into the ocean. It sounds like a steamy novel, but I swear it's all true. It's said that Paradise is where your realities are more exciting than your Fantasies. This book chronicles my journey through those Key West realities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you remember who marries the narrator of A Dance to the Music of Time? Or what happens at the end of Nineteen Eighty-Four? Of which English classic did the author remark: 'How unexpected, how odd that people can read that difficult, grinding stuff'? Which American classic, left unfinished at its author's death, was put together by editors? Which novel did Evelyn Waugh (inaccurately) describe as 'an obscene book about domestic servants'? How many times has the Booker Prize been awarded to non-British writers? Who won the National Book Award in 1960: John Updike? Flannery O'Connor? John Barth? Harper Lee? What novels were people reading when the TLS was first published? When Madame Butterfly was first performed? When Matisse painted The Dance? When Wall Street crashed? When the Titanic sank? When Einstein formulated his General Theory of Relativity? When bobbed hair was all the rage? And which year was that? The answer to all these questions, and many more, will be found in The Reader's Companion to the Twentieth Century Novel. An informative and invaluable guide to modern fiction, it contains detailed accounts of some 750 novels from Britain, Ireland, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Africa, India and the Caribbean. All the century's major novelists are represented, alongside less celebrated writers whose work has been unjustly neglected or fallen victim to the vagaries of literary fashion.
