Download or read book The Drugstore Cowboy written by Cornell Woolrich and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2020-08-27 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although “The Drugstore Cowboy” (published in 1927 and unrelateld to the movie of the same name) has some crime elements, including a stolen car and a high-speed police chase, it is primarily a Jazz Age tale. Filmed, it would have made a terrific screwball comedy in the right director’s hands—imagine young actors Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn in the starring roles as you read. If you are a fan of Woolrich's mysteries, this is a worthy addition to his oeuvre, showcases elements he would later bring to the fore as a mystery writer.

Book excerpt: A one of a kind book. A wild romp through life, this tale is a riotous blend of fact and fiction, told by a sarcastic narrator that describes each adventure with a tongue-in-cheek sneer. This isn't just another book on drugs...it shows the lives of those willing to risk all to score, and often delves into the insane and the comical.During the Seventies, Toronto became the Wild West, and we were drugstore cowboys. Afraid of nothing, searching for something, we experimented with everything, ignoring the lessons of the past because we were the vanguard of a new age, expanding the wisdom of the past with the science of the future. Opening all, we learned about life; what's good, bad, and downright horrid. Every chapter is a rousing story, culminating in an act so outrageous, many just shook their heads...a real eye opener.
Download or read book Drugstore Cowboy written by James Fogle and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 1990-10-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel that inspired the major motion picture directed by Gus Van Sant Bob Hughes, the offbeat, edgy, and slightly skewed leader of a crew of traveling junkies, describes himself as “one of the cleverest and ringiest and most notorious dope fiend drugstore cowboys on the entire West Coast, including Alaska.” Bob, his wife, Diane, Rick, and Nadine have a penchant for robbing drugstores and grabbing pills and capsules to support their habit and relieve their boredom. It’s an all-too-real examination of the addict’s domain: the euphoria, the paranoia, the busts, the overdoses, the haunting reality of trying to survive your own world. But James Fogle—who based this extraordinary novel on his own experiences, and who spent thirty-five years of his life in prison—has turned their lives into something darkly comic. Set in Portland, Oregon, in the early 1970s, Drugstore Cowboy is a resonating evocation of life at the bottom, and yet, by portraying his characters without judgment or glamor, Fogle has illuminated them. His debut novel is a singular work of contemporary fiction.

Download or read book Damning Words written by Hart, D. G. and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2016 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recounts a famously outspoken agnostic's surprising relationship with Christianity H. L. Mencken (1880-1956) was a reporter, literary critic, editor, author--and a famous American agnostic. From his role in the Scopes Trial to his advocacy of science and reason in public life, Mencken is generally regarded as one of the fiercest critics of Christianity in his day. In this biography D. G. Hart presents a provocative, iconoclastic perspective on Mencken's life. Even as Mencken vividly debunked American religious ideals, says Hart, it was Christianity that largely framed his ideas, career, and fame. Mencken's relationship to the Christian faith was at once antagonistic and symbiotic. Using plenty of Mencken's own words, Damning Words superbly portrays an influential figure in twentieth-century America and, at the same time, casts telling new light on his era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toronto is now highlighted in the news, with everyone focusing on the mayor, his drug use, and addictive tendencies. It seems nothing ever changes. This is a story about the drugstore cowboy craze that exploded in Toronto from 1972-1986. With a lot of insane acts and scams, this is a hilarious look at what was considered a normal method to get drugs. It describes a young boy's journey from a normal suburban lifestyle to an enforced existence he did not deserve, a move that changes his outlook on life, and irrevocably alters his family situation forever. A productive drugstore cowboy, his tales border on lunacy, with a super-sized side order of madness. These tales are based on real stories, with the names changed to protect the guilty. Addiction and moxy got them inside pharmacies, while insanity got them out. Full of life, the book satirizes sanity, while each page spoofs the sublime. Full of crazy stunts, this narrative is funny and thought provoking as it examines both sides of the street, and discovers many similarities. Addiction is universal; sobriety is one detox away from retox.
