Book excerpt: What is not written--and shared--may never exist after we are gone. We all have stories. There is something behind everything we do! Only we see it from our perspective, and what we don't say may never be recaptured. --Jay White Many of us go through life without writing down and sharing our stories. Once we are gone, the tales of our lives risk being lost to the ages. In his book Earth to Brockton, Jay White provides us with a memorable and entertaining narrative of a young man's exploits after leaving 1970s Brockton, moving to Maine, and launching sideways into adulthood. When Jay left for college in 1989, he wanted to pursue a life involved in baseball. He didn't cut it as a player. A few writing gigs and baseball statistical data entry positions and even graduation from professional umpire school bore no fruit. As it would be, life and plans do not always match. Instead, he had to regroup and find a recreated path (and a way to pay for his college degree). Jay ended up holding over forty mostly unrelated jobs in eight states and two countries. With very little money, much loneliness, and lots of adventure, he collected many stories worth sharing. During the global pandemic, while being restricted from friends and extended family and unable to share those stories in person, Jay produced this compilation to provide a healthy alternative to the daily news and the stressors endured by many. Jay entertains us with thoughtful, witty, and often humorous observations on his life's journey from the right field ball boy's stool at Fenway Park to the battlefields of the Middle East and beyond. He hopes to inspire you to write your own stories as he believes we can all learn from them. And he reminds you: your clock is ticking. Please enjoy!

Download or read book The Circus Age written by Janet M. Davis and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2003-10-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century ago, daily life ground to a halt when the circus rolled into town. Across America, banks closed, schools canceled classes, farmers left their fields, and factories shut down so that everyone could go to the show. In this entertaining and provocative book, Janet Davis links the flowering of the early-twentieth-century American railroad circus to such broader historical developments as the rise of big business, the breakdown of separate spheres for men and women, and the genesis of the United States' overseas empire. In the process, she casts the circus as a powerful force in consolidating the nation's identity as a modern industrial society and world power. Davis explores the multiple "shows" that took place under the big top, from scripted performances to exhibitions of laborers assembling and tearing down tents to impromptu spectacles of audiences brawling, acrobats falling, and animals rampaging. Turning Victorian notions of gender, race, and nationhood topsy-turvy, the circus brought its vision of a rapidly changing world to spectators--rural as well as urban--across the nation. Even today, Davis contends, the influence of the circus continues to resonate in popular representations of gender, race, and the wider world.

Book excerpt: From award-winning author Paul Yoon comes a beautiful, aching novel about three kids orphaned in 1960s Laos—and how their destinies are entwined across decades, anointed by Hernan Diaz as “one of those rare novels that stays with us to become a standard with which we measure other books.” Alisak, Prany, and Noi—three orphans united by devastating loss—must do what is necessary to survive the perilous landscape of 1960s Laos. When they take shelter in a bombed out field hospital, they meet Vang, a doctor dedicated to helping the wounded at all costs. Soon the teens are serving as motorcycle couriers, delicately navigating their bikes across the fields filled with unexploded bombs, beneath the indiscriminate barrage from the sky. In a world where the landscape and the roads have turned into an ocean of bombs, we follow their grueling days of rescuing civilians and searching for medical supplies, until Vang secures their evacuation on the last helicopters leaving the country. It’s a move with irrevocable consequences—and sets them on disparate and treacherous paths across the world. Spanning decades and magically weaving together storylines laced with beauty and cruelty, Paul Yoon crafts a gorgeous story that is a breathtaking historical feat and a fierce study of the powers of hope, perseverance, and grace.
