Download or read book Reflection written by Richard Mousseau and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expectations of what was to be seen reflecting off of the smooth surface of the water trough was not to be. Clear blue-green water, filled to the brim clearly showed an aged face of a man mystified by a personal image. Hints of specific features were reminiscent of Father's, the family's inherited nose, dad's black eyes in furrowed brows and even Mother's hidden silent humour. Where had the years gone? Bits of recalled memories drift in and out of the mind's eye, though not in chronicle order. Dates and years as mixed up as the faces of people at various stages of life. Faces were familiar though names were difficult to recall. Dates, years and ages were non existent. The stories were most prevalent, most vivid with minute details and background facts connected to others and their stories. Farm animals; their personalities and stories also intermingled in time frames of Ed's life, maybe more affectionate than family and close friends. Animals are funny, serious and emotional.

Download or read book Radio Live Television Live written by Robert L. Mott and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2003-12-11 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the "golden age" of live radio and television, writers, performers, and producers created their programs in an environment far different from the studios of today. With live programming, anything could happen, and often did. Robert L. Mott, a veteran writer and Emmy-nominated sound effects creator of the live era, recreates the days when television and radio programs were performed live. He includes personal reminiscences as well as a forthright look behind the microphones: horses' hooves were played by coconuts, African-American women were played by white males, and television actors might ad lib an entire program that didn't go as planned. Celebrities like Red Skelton and Jackie Gleason, as well as the unsung heroes in the sound booth and backstage, step up to the mike here. Behind-the-scenes photographs are also included in this account of the exciting--but not always glamorous--world that was "live on the air."

Book excerpt: Two young men bringing up a small child in the middle of nowhere. Everything could be fine, but strangers start to meddle. For near a century the reclusive Bliss clan farmed the same land. Now it’s 1963 and everyone’s gone except teenage Cam, his older cousin Wes, and little Dorie. They buried Gran over a year ago. But Gramp is still with them, wrapped tight as a mummy in an old tarp in the cold room off the kitchen. Life’s better now without the old man’s rants and terrors. There are problems with the land lease and the meddlesome, moralizing neighbours, and rumours are spreading in town that there’s something not quite right about Cam and Wes, but they’re taking care of it all as best they can. Then the local Children’s Aid drops by to say Dorie needs schooling and proper parents, and it’s clear they can’t hide their secrets any longer. They’re on the road, heading north, with a body in the trunk. Wes knows a place, a cabin deep in the woods ... No matter what they do, gruesome casualties seem to follow them. It could be funny if it wasn’t so nightmarish. And through it all, a tender secret love thrives, as they try to hold on to the family they’ve built together. A RARE MACHINES BOOK

Download or read book Smith An Unauthorized Fictography written by Jory Post and published by Paper Angel Press. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this kaleidoscopic, episodic joy ride, Jory Post treats us to thirty interviews that may or may not be real, with an array of “ordinary” people who turn out to be anything but, all of them in conversation with an interviewer who is herself a mystery. As one encounter follows another, we realize that “Smith” is a convenient alias for a range of voices, including: a traveling nurse from Saipan, a Vietnam-war vet who lives in his truck, a woman who can only tell her own story through fairy tales, a young man more comfortable talking to animals than people, an army brat, a poker prodigy, a pool shark. Some of these Smiths offer themselves openly to the interviewer, while others reveal as much in their resistance as they do in their narratives. Through it all, the stories, distinct and musical as jazz solos, give voice to what we want, what thrills us, what we’ve been most hurt or touched by, and what we will never forget — secrets any one of us might spill if only someone would listen. Jory Post has.

Download or read book Nuraya written by H. Rasheed and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever wonder what it would be like to have no crime in the United States; to have no criminal courts or judges. The cost of crime in this country is estimated to be around one trillion dollars a year. Can you imagine what it would be like to have that kind of cash infused into the economy. Ever wonder why we think and do the things we do. What would happen if time went backwards or why we think we need to do things better? Why it seems that solving one mystery uncovers ten more or why is there music? Why you grab an umbrella when it rains? The reader will experience a strange but truly enjoyable experience. Nuraya not only tantalizes the reader with hermetic theories and long-lost ancient Egyptian magic, but also addresses tough modern issues such as the U.S. justice system, child abuse, and South African politics.

Download or read book The Newshawk Reports written by Frederic Voss and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-09 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederic Voss says he can see humor in most anything, although he sees nothing funny in the way the politicians and the news media are betraying the American people. It is the politicians that catch the razor edge of his wit. "I have come to distrust them all," he said. Voss began writing his style of satire more than 25 years ago as a "cub" reporter for a small newspaper in Western New York. Sensing a need for an alter ego, he invented Newshawk to tell his stories. He stayed with the newspaper for two years before deciding, "I couldn't afford to work there anymore." Voss was asked to continue writing his weekly columns after leaving the newspaper and did so for eight years. He finally terminated the column when the world of work interfered. He started writing again in January 2011. Voss has worked in door-to-door sales for three companies and at one point owned a custom furniture-building shop for five years and attended craft festivals in nearly all of the Northeastern states. Voss and his wife Mary have been married for 41 years, have three grown children and one grandson. They live in Western New York.

Download or read book The Outside Thing written by Hannah Roche and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-28 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a lecture delivered before the University of Oxford’s Anglo-French Society in 1936, Gertrude Stein described romance as “the outside thing, that . . . is always a thing to be felt inside.” Hannah Roche takes Stein’s definition as a principle for the reinterpretation of three major modernist lesbian writers, showing how literary and affective romance played a crucial yet overlooked role in the works of Stein, Radclyffe Hall, and Djuna Barnes. The Outside Thing offers original readings of both canonical and peripheral texts, including Stein’s first novel Q.E.D. (Things As They Are), Hall’s Adam’s Breed and The Well of Loneliness, and Barnes’s early writing alongside Nightwood. Is there an inside space for lesbian writing, or must it always seek refuge elsewhere? Crossing established lines of demarcation between the in and the out, the real and the romantic, and the Victorian and the modernist, The Outside Thing presents romance as a heterosexual plot upon which lesbian writers willfully set up camp. These writers boldly adopted and adapted the romance genre, Roche argues, as a means of staking a queer claim on a heteronormative institution. Refusing to submit or surrender to the “straight” traditions of the romance plot, they turned the rules to their advantage. Drawing upon extensive archival research, The Outside Thing is a significant rethinking of the interconnections between queer writing, lesbian living, and literary modernism.
