Download or read book Driving the Road of Life with a Flat Tire written by Gary Yordon and published by Inkshares. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the world of Gary Yordon—former politician, part-time television host, and accidental newspaper columnist. When Yordon's world began giving him stories too good not to immortalize, he sent one to a friend at a newspaper. Two years and seventy-five columns later, he had a rabidly loyal readership. Their persistent requests led to this collection. There is nothing above Yordon's satire, including his lack of home repair skills, addiction to Steven Seagal movies, and kidney stone intolerance. (Okay, maybe Yordon is normal in that regard.) He admits to actively resisting the temptation to write excessively about his mother, who is "a living, breathing, Neil Simon play." "My ninety-year-old mother is a fierce shopper. Put a parachute on sale and Mom's all over it because it's not about need, it's about price. She'd buy a show pony to get a free harness. She passed the shopping gene to me. If I hear the phrase 'as seen on TV,' I know I'm in trouble. At 3 a.m., the Leopard Print Cat Tunnel for $19.95 is too good to pass up. Now all I need is a cat." Tender moments are tucked away in this book too, especially those related to Yordon's relationship with his profoundly challenged son, Zachary. Learn more about Gary Yordon at ZPRgroup.com.

Download or read book What If An Anthology of 13 Short Stories written by Kerry ONeal and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-04-21 with total page 648 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book asks the simple question of what if. The answer is expressed in thirteen short stories where ONeal pushes the limits of imaginationfrom a man who wakes up knowing the future date of his death, to a little girls love for her cat that uses each of its nine lives in order to protect her from danger, to an evil ghost of a six-year-old girl trying to return to life by stealing the soul and the body of another six-year-old girl. With the combination of fantasy, the paranormal, ghosts, sci-fi horror, and the unexplained, ONeals characteristic dark humor and savory taste for the macabre and the unknown extends the bounds of the predictable and brings the reader to the brink of sanity and insanity, loneliness and friendship, and into the horrors of human and inhuman existence. Fans of Dean Koonce, Stephen King, Amazing Tales, and The Twilight Zone will thoroughly enjoy this anthology of unique stories that will be sure to leave you breathless. What If commemorates the mysteries of the world and the unexplained that encompasses each of us and articulates how fast time flies. Never forget that time is the most valuable thing we can spend, ONeal says, so spend it wisely and dont throw it away.

Download or read book Gumbo Life Tales from the Roux Bayou written by Ken Wells and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2019-02-26 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sprightly, deeply personal narrative about how gumbo—for 250 years a Cajun and Creole secret—has become one of the world’s most beloved dishes. Ask any self-respecting Louisianan who makes the best gumbo and the answer is universal: “Momma.” The product of a melting pot of culinary influences, gumbo, in fact, reflects the diversity of the people who cooked it up: French aristocrats, West Africans in bondage, Cajun refugees, German settlers, Native Americans—all had a hand in the pot. What is it about gumbo that continues to delight and nourish so many? And what explains its spread around the world? A seasoned journalist, Ken Wells sleuths out the answers. His obsession goes back to his childhood in the Cajun bastion of Bayou Black, where his French-speaking mother’s gumbo often began with a chicken chased down in the yard. Back then, gumbo was a humble soup little known beyond the boundaries of Louisiana. So when a homesick young Ken, at college in Missouri, realized there wasn’t a restaurant that could satisfy his gumbo cravings, he called his momma for the recipe. That phone-taught gumbo was a disaster. The second, cooked at his mother’s side, fueled a lifelong quest to explore gumbo’s roots and mysteries. In Gumbo Life: Tales from the Roux Bayou, Wells does just that. He spends time with octogenarian chefs who turn the lowly coot into gourmet gumbo; joins a team at a highly competitive gumbo contest; visits a factory that churns out gumbo by the ton; observes the gumbo-making rituals of an iconic New Orleans restaurant where high-end Creole cooking and Cajun cuisine first merged. Gumbo Life, rendered in Wells’ affable prose, makes clear that gumbo is more than simply a delicious dish: it’s an attitude, a way of seeing the world. For all who read its pages, this is a tasty culinary memoir—to be enjoyed and shared like a simmering pot of gumbo.

Download or read book Vasyl Stus Life in Creativity written by Dmytro Stus and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to explain the mystery of fame? Many once well-known people who spent much of their lives at the core of historic events have fallen into oblivion since. The brilliant East Ukrainian poet and Soviet-era dissident Vasyl Stus (1938-85) became renowned only after his reburial in late Soviet Ukraine in 1989. What are the reasons for the widespread admiration for him in post-Soviet Ukrainian society? The exceptional beauty of his poetry? His stunning courage and selflessness as a Soviet dissident? The irreconcilability of his position as a human being? Or/and Vasyl Stus’ ability to feel the pain of others as his own? Trying to answer these and other questions, the poet’s son and literary scholar Dmytro Stus masterfully combines a cultural and biographical study with private recollections and observations of his father. The book offers a sometimes-paradoxical merger of genres mixing academic analysis with novelistic narration. It shows Vasyl Stus through the eyes of his son and researcher against the background of twentieth-century Ukrainian “belated” emergence as a nation-state. In 2007, the Ukrainian edition of this book won Ukraine’s prestigious Shevchenko National Prize.
Download or read book Life in Mani Today written by Mickey Demos and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some insight into Life in Mani Today - The Road to freedom... Not since the advent of British writer Patrick Leigh Fermor's book, Mani - Travels in the Southern Peloponnesus, more than fifty years ago, has there been an historic update, written in English, concerning this land and its people, from a new and very different perspective. Miami-born, Greek-American urologist, Dr. Mickey Demos, exposes the Mani from a unique angle in his book Life in Mani Today - The Road to Freedom. This has been a project that the contributing editor, Panayiotis Kokkinias, has spent nearly two years preparing for publication. Kokkinias spent much of this past year in Mani working with Dr. Demos, who wanted to create an up-to-date version to the changes in history, which he discovered when he moved to Mani. His reasoning was based on the fact that his entire family origin began here centuries ago and, until he turned 69 years of age, he had never even visited Greece. Now, at 80, he was on a quest that encompassed an eleven year odyssey. Realizing the passion Kokkinias had for writing, based upon a number of book and periodicals that he had authored and which Demos had read, he asked Kokkinias to help him organize and complete his 600 pages of thoughts into a concise book format and get it published. "Demos was a natural," Kokkinias said in an interview, relating to the Doctor's ability to capture the stories he relates in Life in Mani Today. "So many people of Greek descent have had their roots in Mani, and the stories abound reflecting the traits and characteristics of these wild mountain people who all claim to have a direct connection to a man named Petros Mavromichalis, one of the greatest freedom fighters in Hellenic history. So many myths, superstitions, battles, wild stories, songs, poems, hearsay, as well as vampires, bats, vendettas, and the power of the evil eye are just the beginning along with the warning to those who so much as mention the word, 'Mani', to anyone outside of this region. Everybody in Greece knew about Mani and had something to say about the place. 'You had better watch yourself. Those people in Mani are dangerous.' "Life in Mani Today will give new insight into what has transpired over these past 50-plus years. It is not a dry historical chronology, but a lively look, with some comic relief, about life in the old country. You might be surprised at what has changed... and more surprised at what has stayed the same." Here is an opportunity to learn more about a part of Greece that has remained independent of the rest of the mainland for many years. How these people have survived and succeeded in life, and have stayed free from a lot of the politics that currently threaten the financial stability of this great country, continues as a credit to their hard work, their intelligence, and their use of common sense.
