In “Thirteen Days,” passengers on a cruise line are quarantined, to horrifying and hilarious effect. And “Hyena” begins simply: “That was the day the hyena came for him, and never mind that there were no hyenas in the South of France, and especially not in Pont-Saint-Esprit—it was there and it came for him.” A virtuoso of the short form, T.C. Boyle returns with an inventive, uproarious, and masterfully told collection of short stories characterized by biting satire, resonant wit, and a boundless, irrepressible imagination.

Download or read book Walking Between the Raindrops written by Diana N. Pappas and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2011-04-27 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walking Between The Raindrops was written over a period of four years. My poetry collection celebrates those who walk with courage in difficult situations as well as highlighting life-changing stories from the Bible. God's plan for mankind is revealed in nature through his animals like the eagles and the transformation of the tiny caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly. I have tried to reveal in a tangible form - the reality of God and the consistency of his character. He is seen in all of his creation. His love and desire for mankind to know him is limitless. Much of the poetry has come out of personal experiences and mistakes people who have come before us have made. Mistakes are to be learned from and not to be repeated. Nevertheless, Our Creator never stops yearning for us to know and believe that he truly exists. He is all around us in every situation and event. He longs to be personally acquained with each of us. This is the message I have tried to convey through my poems.

Book excerpt: One of the biggest names in the musical landscape of the 1970s, Steely Dan released a string of albums that pushed the boundaries of what was possible in a recording studio. With albums like The Royal Scam and Aja, the songs of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen drew from their love of jazz, their ability to write memorable pop hooks and their penchant for subversive humour, to produce a catalogue of unparalleled brilliance. With worldwide album sales in excess of 40 million copies, the durability of their songs has made Becker and Fagen one of the most celebrated writing partnerships in popular music. With Walter Becker’s untimely death in 2017, Donald Fagen continues to keep the band’s flame burning on stages around the world. Steely Dan - on track gives an overview of the band's career while investigating every track recorded across the nine Steely Dan studio albums. It also covers Becker and Fagen’s six solo records plus the official live albums and joint collaborations. The book also delves into duo’s early - largely unreleased - recordings and other tracks recorded under the Steely Dan name, making this a comprehensive guide for both fans of the band’s work or newcomers to the fascinating world of this unique partnership. A music fan for as long as he can remember, Jez Rowden worked in record shops for many years, absorbing music of all kinds. He enjoys many genres and has been involved in writing album and concert reviews, mostly within the progressive rock field, for nearly fifteen years. He also acted as editor for the Dutch Progressive Rock Pages website and, more latterly, The Progressive Aspect which he helped found in 2013. The music of Steely Dan fascinated him from first hearing, the appeal growing stronger as the years go by. An avid concert goer, he lives in Swansea, UK.

Download or read book Digital Samaritans written by Jim Ridolfo and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital Samaritans explores rhetorical delivery and cultural sovereignty in the digital humanities. The exigence for the book is rooted in a practical digital humanities project based on the digitization of manuscripts in diaspora for the Samaritan community, the smallest religious/ethnic group of 770 Samaritans split between Mount Gerizim in the Palestinian Authority and in Holon, Israel. Based on interviews with members of the Samaritan community and archival research, Digital Samaritans explores what some Samaritans want from their diaspora of manuscripts, and how their rhetorical goals and objectives relate to the contemporary existential and rhetorical situation of the Samaritans as a living, breathing people. How does the circulation of Samaritan manuscripts, especially in digital environments, relate to their rhetorical circumstances and future goals and objectives to communicate their unique cultural history and religious identity to their neighbors and the world? Digital Samaritans takes up these questions and more as it presents a case for collaboration and engaged scholarship situated at the intersection of rhetorical studies and the digital humanities.

Download or read book Jerusalem written by Anne B. Shlay and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerusalem has for centuries been known as the spiritual center for the three largest monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Yet Jerusalem’s other-worldly transcendence is far from the daily reality of Jerusalem, a city bombarded by conflict. The battle over who owns and controls Jerusalem is intensely disputed on a global basis. Few cities rival Jerusalem in how its divisions are expressed in the political sphere and in ordinary everyday life. Jerusalem: The Spatial Politics of a Divided Metropolis is about this constellation of competing on-the-ground interests: the endless set of claims, struggles, and debates over the land, neighborhoods, and communities that make up Jerusalem. Spatial politics explain the motivations and organizing around the battle for Jerusalem and illustrate how space is a weapon in the Jerusalem struggle. These are the windows to the world of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Based on ninety interviews, years of fieldwork, and numerous Jerusalem experiences, this book depicts the groups living in Jerusalem, their roles in the conflict, and their connections to Jerusalem's development. Written for students, scholars, and those seeking to demystify the Jerusalem labyrinth, this book shows how religion, ideology, nationalism, and power underlie patterns of urban development, inequality, and conflict.

Download or read book The Reality of a Single Black Man Society Unedited Unity written by Greg Weasah and published by Writers Republic LLC. This book was released on 2020-10-27 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book about how I see the world my eyes as a young man black man. I am always thinking about if history repeats itself, will slavery ever come back? We already live in a morphed Jim crow, and if segregation continues back, how will the world take it? We as people can’t see what’s on going on because some of us are in psychological warfare and then on top of that we as people don’t even group together no more. We are so opinionated about the next man, we don’t even fully understand ourselves, which is sad because as people we don’t have to act this way but we do. That’s what hurts me because I give a care about the next man. I care so much I will use my time to help someone else make it out but there is no praise for that. I do things because I feel not because I want a reward for it. That’s my dilemma, I’m tired of everyone's open-ended opinions about myself. Everyone wants to talk and say this and whatever they say about me. Either way, it goes we all have to free ourselves if we wish and pray to be in a utopia then that way we all can truly be free.
