Download or read book The Call Out written by Cat Fitzpatrick and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2022-10-25 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast-paced, debut tragicomedy of manners written in verse about queer (mostly trans) women that is funny, literary, philosophical, witty, sometimes bitchy and sometimes heartbreaking. Aashvi, Kate, Bette, Keiko, Gaia, and Day are six queer, mostly trans women surviving and thriving in Brooklyn. Visiting all the fixtures of fashionable 21st century queer society—picnics, literary readings, health conferences, drag shows, punk houses, community accountability processes, Grindr hookups—The Call-Out also engages with pressing questions around economic precarity, sexual consent, racism in queer spaces, and feminist theory, in the service of asking what it takes to build, or destroy, a marginalized community. A novel written in verse, The Call-Out recalls the Russian literary classic Eugene Onegin, but instead of 19th century Russian aristocrats crudely solved their disagreements with pistols, the participants in this rhyming drama have developed a more refined weapon, the online call-out, a cancel-culture staple. In this passionate tangle of modern relationships, where a barbed tweet can be as dangerous as the narrator’s bon-mots, Cat Fitzpatrick has fashioned a modern novel of manners that gives readers access to a vibrant cultural underground.
Download or read book Saturday s Child written by Ray Banks and published by Blasted Heath Ltd. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cal Innes is fresh out of Strangeways, playing PI and running from a past muddied with ties to local ganglord Uncle Morris Tiernan. When Tiernan tells him to track down a rogue casino dealer who's absconded with a hefty chunk of cash, Innes is thrust into a cat-and-mouse game with Tiernan's psychotic son. Finding the thief proves potentially fatal as the case points north to Newcastle and the sordid truth threatens to put blood on his hands. With Tiernan's son on his tail, and a Manchester cop determined to put Innes back on the spurs, Saturday's child definitely has to work hard to keep living.Praise for Ray Banks"Memorable characterisation, Manchester at night and at its most sinister, lives flooding down the plughole - this is British noir in all its sordid splendour by a writer who has taken more than just an excursion to the dark side." - The Guardian"A pitch perfect novel" - Crime Fiction Lover"Brimming with pitch-black humour and written with a claustrophobic mania to rival the finest noir exponents, it's compelling and finely honed stuff." - The Big Issue"Dark, nasty, funny, and painfully human" - Spinetingler Magazine"A tight and pacy read, the prose stripped to the bone and the dialogue pitch-perfect. Fans of Colin Bateman and Elmore Leonard will find it hits their sweet spot. Cohen brother lovers; one for you too." - Loitering With Intent"A great story. It's tight as hell and it's so deliberate that it's a complete joy to read."- Dead End Follies"An intensive masterclass in how to write." - Helen FitzGerald "Banks writes in a clean style, looped with inky black humor, and the plot goes at a lightning pace, heaping dread upon dread." - On The Book Beat"Ray Banks writes with harshness, humour and elegance, and his punchy dialogue teems with vigorous authenticity." - The Times"Banks is one of the freshest voices in hard-boiled crime fiction today." - Library Journal"Banks has an ear for the vernacular as sharp as, but a shade or two bluer than, that of George V. Higgins. Let the squeamish stick with Tony Soprano; this is the real tough stuff." - KirkusRay Banks is the author of nine novels, including Sucker Punch (Cal Innes #2), Dead Money and Angels of the North.

Download or read book Dr Cipriano s Cell written by C J P Lee, Dr and published by Chipmunkapublishing ltd. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DescriptionConservative psychiatrist Dr Cipriano works on a ward in contemporary England where Professor Hawthorn will do anything to further his own career. Paranoia is rampant on the ward. Desperately needing a break, at a health farm Dr Cipriano begins a relationship with an ex-patient's partner. Suspicious deaths follow on the ward, and Dr Cipriano's brother is murdered in Cyprus, but then appears in England. Dr Cipriano ends up sectioned on the ward and takes part in Hawthorn's specially devised televised group therapy. Dr Cipriano's Cell confronts the binary approaches to pathology concerning the sane and insane, exploding the obsession with power and control which often dominates psychiatric discourse and practice. A Gothic comedy, with powerful psychological insight, Dr Cipriano's Cell plunges the depths and corridors of the psychiatric system in true Kafkaesque style. About the AuthorBorn in Middlesex in 1969, just prior to man apparently landing on the moon, Dr CJP Lee studied psychotherapy and abnormal psychology in London, and worked in mental health in London and Liverpool, and in a refugee camp in Eastern Europe, gaining extensive knowledge of psychiatric environments and disorders. While absolute fiction Dr Cipriano's Cell is based on solid facts and truths.
Download or read book Uncertain written by P.J. Gammarano M.A. J.D. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You`ll find all original short stories and poetic tales suitable as musical lyrics. Some items were written as far back at the 1970's! The otherwise non-descript book cover photograph depicts two "American Banzai" trees (NYC) which are from 1986, so that's 35 years ago ! If left to grow freely, this vegetation would grow to be much higher & larger than even the other tree in the background. Each tree is about 4.5 feet tall, and has been trimmed periodically since these were mere twigs. The "lesson" here is that we humans can 'control' to an extent, but nature per se remains as the overarching & "uncertain" factor.
Download or read book Gone the Hard Road written by Lee Martin and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-05-04 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Count your blessings," his mother told him, "Think of everything good in your life." Pulitzer Prize finalist Lee Martin has done it again. Building from his acclaimed first memoir, From Our House, which recounts the farming accident that cost his father both his hands, Gone the Hard Road is the story of Beulah Martin's endurance and sacrifice as a mother, and the gift of imagination she offered her son. Martin unfolds the world she created for him within their unsettled family life, from the first time she read to him in a doctor's office waiting room, to enrolling him in a children's book club, to the books she bought him in high school. Gone the Hard Road portrays Beulah's selflessness as the family moved around the Midwest, sometimes in the face of her husband's opposition, to show her son a different way of being. Rather than concentrate on the life his father threatened to destroy, as Martin's previous memoirs do, Gone the Hard Road offers the counternarrative of a loving mother and the creative life she made possible, in spite of the eventual cost to herself. A poignant, honest, and moving read, Gone the Hard Road will stay with anyone who has ever struggled to find their place in the world.

Download or read book Healing Ever After written by Kristie Addair Guard and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-08-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten years into a marriage with her high school sweetheart, author Kristie Addair Guard admitted the “happily ever after” just wasn’t, and it didn’t show any signs of getting there. However hard she tried, the lies she’d been given in childhood held a tight grip. She remained enthralled to those fears—being unwanted, unloved, abandoned, and unimportant. In a last-ditch effort, she walked away in search of healing and happiness on her own, but instead she met Jesus, the one who would deliver her from those fears. She learned that God is always at work in hearts. Through his word, through therapists, through time, and always through his loving, tender, kind presence, he brought Kristie first to her own healing, and then to a marriage that wasn’t what she dreamed of, but one that was exactly the best for her. Healing Ever After shares her story, a story of heartbreak, of healing, and of redemption. It’s a story of Jesus making beauty from ashes—his favorite kind of artistry, and available to you, too, wherever you are.
