Book excerpt: Stephen Valentino finds it's hard to go from homelessness to a life with eerily friendly guys who keep saying they want to help him. Staying with new acquaintances Matt Tucker and Tom Van der Haas for the summer, Stephen is in a new world, with a job, friends, and maybe even a girlfriend. But he isn't sure he can keep it, because Stephen has a secret, one that might cause his friends to walk away if he can't hide it, and he's pretty sure he can't hide it forever. Meanwhile, he attracts trouble at work; he can't figure out Amy, who has secrets of her own and won't let him into her life; and his past comes to call. That one hurts most of all, realizing he can't make a clean break from his old life. Instead, to protect everyone he cares about, he might have to leave his new life behind and go it alone. The guys tell him there's a God to help him out, but for now, Stephen feels like he's facing the world alone.

Download or read book Die Wise written by Stephen Jenkinson and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2015-03-17 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die Wise does not offer seven steps for coping with death. It does not suggest ways to make dying easier. It pours no honey to make the medicine go down. Instead, with lyrical prose, deep wisdom, and stories from his two decades of working with dying people and their families, Stephen Jenkinson places death at the center of the page and asks us to behold it in all its painful beauty. Die Wise teaches the skills of dying, skills that have to be learned in the course of living deeply and well. Die Wise is for those who will fail to live forever. Dying well, Jenkinson writes, is a right and responsibility of everyone. It is not a lifestyle option. It is a moral, political, and spiritual obligation each person owes their ancestors and their heirs. Die Wise dreams such a dream, and plots such an uprising. How we die, how we care for dying people, and how we carry our dead: this work makes our capacity for a village-mindedness, or breaks it.

Download or read book Sorrows of Stephen written by Peter Parnell and published by Samuel French, Inc.. This book was released on 1980 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen is a headstrong, impetuous, irrepressible romantic unable not to be in love. One of his models is Goethe's tragic hero Werther, but as a young, contemporary New Yorker he's adaptable. He believes there is a literary precedent for all romantic possibilities that justifies his choices. With enthusiasm bordering on fickleness, he turns from Tolstoy, to Stendhal or Balzac. And Stephen's never discouraged he can withstand rivers of rejection. His affairs, real and tentative, begin when his girl friend leaves him. He makes a romantic stab at a female cab driver, passes an assignation note to an unknown lady at the opera, flirts with an accessible waitress, and then has a tragic with comic overtones affair with his best friend's fiancee. --From publisher's description.

Download or read book The Novels of Stephen Birmingham written by Stephen Birmingham and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-09-05 with total page 1638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quartet of novels from the New York Times–bestselling author of “Our Crowd” and master chronicler of Manhattan’s rich, famous, and deceitful. These four gripping novels prove that “when it comes to the folkways of the rich, the powerful, and the privileged, Stephen Birmingham knows what he’s talking about” (Los Angeles Times). Carriage Trade: One of New York’s most elegant and exclusive retail establishments, Tarkington’s has been the preferred shopping experience of Manhattan’s elite for decades. But the unexpected death of founder Silas Tarkington raises serious doubts about the future of the enterprise. At the reading of his will, disturbing questions arise about the tycoon’s past, and suggestions of a dark, secret life threaten to tear the family apart. The truth could destroy much more than the family business—especially as it becomes more and more likely that Silas’s death was no accident. “[A] page turner . . . [that] offers a little bit of the best of everything” (The New York Times). The Wrong Kind of Money: The Liebling family is among the wealthiest in New York, but in the eyes of “old money” gentile aristocrats like the patrician Van Degans, they will always be lower-class Jewish nouveau riche. Jules Liebling got his start selling liquor during Prohibition while in cahoots with dangerous mobsters, and his widow, Hannah, now runs the family business with a tyrannical hand. But when her daughter-in-law meets Georgette Van Degan for lunch at Le Cirque, gossip circulates about a thaw between the families and, quite possibly, a partnership. As rumors fly in this “fast and wonderful” novel that has “something for everyone,” family skeletons on both sides are exposed, leading to jealousy, betrayal, and even violence (Cincinnati Enquirer). The Auerbach Will: The daughter of poor immigrant Russian-Jewish parents on the Lower East Side, Essie Litsky married Jack Auerbach, and together, they rose from poverty and amassed a fortune that dwarfed their wildest dreams. But money could never buy the affection of family or compensate for the true love Essie let slip away. And now, as she nears the end of her life, she must contend with blackmail and heartless legal assaults coming at her from all sides—the result of the ugly, persistent greed of her own children and grandchildren. But Essie is not dead yet, and those who underestimate the remarkable old woman are in for a shocking and powerful surprise. This New York Times bestseller is full of “delicious secrets” drawn from the “gossipy, Uptown/Downtown milieu Birmingham knows so well” (Kirkus Reviews). Shades of Fortune: Mireille “Mimi” Myerson took her grandfather’s struggling cosmetics company and turned it into an empire. But suddenly, as she prepares to launch a new perfume line, she is faced with hidden threats at every turn. Her efforts to further expand the company could be sabotaged from within by her own treacherous family. With the discovery of her husband’s affair and the return of real estate magnate Michael Horowitz, her first and most enduring love, Mimi must determine whom she can trust—especially in light of the shocking revelations that are about to emerge regarding the birth of the Miray Corporation.

Download or read book Stephen J Cannell Television Productions written by Jon Abbott and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2009-09-12 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The face of 1980s television was shaped by a man who stayed behind the scenes. Stephen Cannell's reluctant white knights--put-upon private eye James Rockford, World War II fly-boys the Black Sheep Squadron, hapless superhero Ralph Hinckley, fugitive mercenaries the A-Team, and maverick cop Hunter--traversed the television landscape from the 1970s to the 1990s. Cannell changed the face of the action-adventure genre, updating the crime-show format with a hybrid of rebellious morality, juvenile wit, intelligent sarcasm, and radical conservatism. This book discusses in detail the programs of the writer-producer and lists every episode of his award-winning productions from the early 1970s to the early '90s. The book features publicity photos and descriptions of unsold pilots.

Book excerpt: James Joyce's 'Stephen Hero & A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' presents a unique insight into the development of a young artist's mind. The two novels follow the character Stephen Dedalus on his journey of self-discovery, struggling with the conflicts of religion, nationality, and artistic ambition. Joyce's intricate and stream-of-consciousness style of writing adds depth to the narrative, making it a challenging yet rewarding read for those interested in modernist literature. Set against the backdrop of early 20th century Ireland, these novels provide a glimpse into the psyche of a young man coming to terms with his place in the world. James Joyce, known for his experimental and innovative storytelling techniques, drew inspiration from his own life experiences to create these compelling autobiographical novels. His intricate attention to detail and rich character development showcase his mastery of the craft, solidifying his place in the literary canon as a groundbreaking genius. I highly recommend 'Stephen Hero & A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' to readers who appreciate complex narratives, introspective exploration, and profound philosophical insights. These novels are a must-read for anyone looking to delve into the intricacies of the human psyche and the journey of self-discovery.

Download or read book Adapting Stephen King written by Joseph Maddrey and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2023-08-04 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stephen King's fiction has formed the basis of more motion picture adaptations than any other living author. His earliest short stories, collected in the Night Shift anthology, have been adapted into hit features including Creepshow, Children of the Corn, Cat's Eye, Maximum Overdrive, Graveyard Shift, Sometimes They Come Back, and The Mangler. Through his "Dollar Baby" program, King licensed several Night Shift stories to aspiring filmmakers for just one dollar each, resulting in numerous student film adaptations. This book critically examines and contextualizes adaptations of the Night Shift short stories, from big box office features to relatively unknown student films. It illuminates how each film is a uniquely and intricately collaborative endeavor, and charts the development of each adaptation from first option to final cut. Through old and new interviews with the creators, the work explores how filmmakers continue to reinvent, reimagine, remake and reboot King's stories.
