Download or read book America Gone Wild written by Ted Rall and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2010-02-23 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Insightful and venomously cynical political cartoons . . . Rall straddles stereotypes, avoids party lines like live wires. . . . A true freethinker." --Las Vegas Mercury There simply isn't a more polarizing, more controversial, or more widely read political and social cartoonist than Ted Rall. Matt Groening: "Ted Rall makes me laugh out loud." Rush Limbaugh: "What is sad is that such an ignoramus ends up as a prominent cartoonist in major newspapers." Janet Clayton, L.A. Times editorial page editor: "He's wonderfully incisive. He has a way of looking at the world that is rarely articulated in editorial cartoons." Bernard Goldberg, author of 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America: "There is loathsome and there is beneath loathsome. And then there's Ted Rall." Love him or hate him, Rall has a unique drawing style and makes caustic social commentary that sets him apart from the pack. America Gone Wild features Rall's most controversial cartoons assembled for the first time in a single collection. Rall views his strips as a vehicle for driving social change. He applies his outrageous sense of humor to volatile topics from 9/11 and the Iraq war to social issues such as unemployment, the environment, and religion. This collection comprises his edgiest material and features lengthy behind-the-scenes commentary from Rall.

In over eighty selections, Portland is revealed through histories, memoirs, autobiographies, short stories, novels, and news reports. This single volume gives voice to women and men; the colonizers and the colonized; white, Hispanic, African American, Asian American, and Indian storytellers; and lower, middle, and upper classes. In his introduction, John Trombold considers the history of writing about a place that has nourished a provocative and errant literary tradition for over 150 years. In the preface, Peter Donahue considers the influence of region--particularly Portland's urbanity and its hybrid population--on literature. Included here are the voices of Carl Abbott, Kathryn Hall Bogle, Beverly Cleary, Robin Cody, Lawson Fusao Inada, Rudyard Kipling, Ursula K. Le Guin, Joaquin Miller, Sandy Polishuk, Gary Snyder, Kim Stafford, Elizabeth Woody, and many more.

Download or read book Alma Winklegrin s Lower Denture Is Missing written by R. Roper and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alma Winklegrin's Lower Denture Is Missing is an eclectic collection of short stories and prose works covering a wide variety of humorous and serious subjects as illustrated by titles such as: § Adversity University § A Ride With Grandma § Return Of The Warrior § Apology To A Dead Enemy § Spillane Revisited An excerpt from the short story "A Moment In The Sun" portrays the author's poetic style--"He had come to think, to be alone, and let his mind wander, to heal a recent hurt, to feel the bleak disconsolation of a momentary despair..." R. R. Roper experiments with unusual variations of fiction ranging from stories that are all dialog to stories that are all narration, a short play, reminiscences, and stories which could be categorized more as tales than short stories. The characters portrayed are truly defined by their very personal idiosyncrasies.

Book excerpt: There are not many people who learn to cross the membrane between the visible, tangible world into the invisible, non-tangible world, yet the author has accomplished this brilliantly. His journey stories will take you from physical and non-physical aborigines in the bush, to lines and balls of light, and on to the distant stars, yet all have one thing in common: authenticity. It is only when you have made similar journeys that you know the authenticity of another persons account. This is an excellent book. MICHAEL J.

Download or read book Dougal s Diary written by David Greagg and published by Clan Destine Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After some traumatic early life experiences, Dougal the black-and-white kitten falls on his paws into a loving home with two kind humans. Dougal decides to repay his humans' kindness by trying to be a Good Cat at all times. But when you have a little sister like Shadow, being good isn't as easy as it should be; because Shadow is an alley-cat who eats his food and loves rummaging in bins and stealing from neighbours' barbecues. And, although they don't know it, the kind humans are not in charge in this house. That role goes to the imperious old cat Belladonna, who does not take kindly to newcomers in her space. Dougal and Shadow's new home also has a large resident family of wattle-birds, and a supporting cast of neighbouring cats with agendas of their own; so the kittens must learn their place in the pecking order. Dougal's diplomatic skills will be tested to their limit as he tries to make sense of human and feline psychology. You can also catch up with Dougal, join his fanclub and get some pressies at his very own website http://www.dougalsdiary.com.au
