Book excerpt: The Bonfire of the Vanities defined an era--and established Tom Wolfe as our prime fictional chronicler of America at its most outrageous and alive. With A Man in Full, the time the setting is Atlanta, Georgia--a racially mixed late-century boomtown full of fresh wealth, avid speculators, and worldly-wise politicians. Big men. Big money. Big games. Big libidos. Big trouble. The protagonist is Charles Croker, once a college football star, now a late-middle-aged Atlanta real-estate entrepreneur turned conglomerate king, whose expansionist ambitions and outsize ego have at last hit up against reality. Charlie has a 28,000-acre quail-shooting plantation, a young and demanding second wife--and a half-empty office tower with a staggering load of debt. When star running back Fareek Fanon--the pride of one of Atlanta's grimmest slums--is accused of raping an Atlanta blueblood's daughter, the city's delicate racial balance is shattered overnight. Networks of illegal Asian immigrants crisscrossing the continent, daily life behind bars, shady real-estate syndicates, cast-off first wives of the corporate elite, the racially charged politics of college sports--Wolfe shows us the disparate worlds of contemporary America with all the verve, wit, and insight that have made him our most phenomenal, most admired contemporary novelist. A Man in Full is a 1998 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.

Top Atlanta hair stylist, Solé, grew up fast, similarly to the way many others did in impoverished environments, but her down-to-earth personality and warm spirit always draws people in. However, no one knows how her traumatic past led her into constantly feeling defeated and no longer desiring love. Blaze is a flashy, ambitious hustler, and the noble leader of GMB, the ‘Get Money Boys’ crew.

But when Blaze’s feelings for Solé start to change, he tries to impress her in all the wrong ways.

As a battle is waged between their minds and their hearts, their desire for each other pushes them to let each other in but their past stands in the way.

Download or read book You re Imagining Things written by A. Carver and published by . This book was released on 2017-01-05 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO THOSE WHO LOOK WITHIN... Discover: How to bridge the divide between "wanting something" and actually ACTING on your desire with effortless intensity What do you want out of life, and why don't you have it? Really, why don't you? Chances are, it's because you are your own greatest enemy. If most people in the world could just get out of their own way, they'd have everything they wanted and more. Our greatest limiting factors always come from within. They are solved and dissolved from within as well. And when those limiting factors are replaced with a limitless mindset? That's when you're really cooking with gasoline. The paradigm-shift begins with imagining things. As the great writer George Bernard Shaw once put it: "Imagination is the beginning of creation. You imagine what you desire; you will what you imagine; and at last you create what you will." As you'll soon learn from this book, that statement is much more literal-and dare I say, "mystical"-than the vast majority of people ever realize. That's why in You're Imagining Things, you'll be led down a fast-paced and amusing rabbit hole of supernatural discovery. Sparks will fly off the pages as you zig-zag back and forth between the esoteric and the obvious-all leading up to a thrilling revelation on the extrasensory wish-granting mechanism hidden deep within your subconscious mind. Mental imagery "magic" is the key to accessing that mechanism, and once you've realized the possibilities of this metaphysical "technology," things will never be the same. This book will redefine your ideas on desire, achievement, and reality at large. It will shatter your misconceptions of the impossible and leave you with a new outlook on life.
