Download or read book Face One Square Foot of Skin written by Justine Bateman and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writer/director/producer Justine Bateman examines the aggressive ways that society reacts to the aging of women's faces. "Face . . . is filled with fictional vignettes that examine real-life societal attitudes and internal fears that have caused a negative perspective on women's faces as they age." —TODAY, a Best Book of 2021 "There is nothing wrong with your face. At least, that's what Justine Bateman wants you to realize. Her new book, Face: One Square Foot of Skin, is a collection of fictional short stories told from the perspectives of women of all ages and professions; with it, she aims to correct the popular idea that you need to stop what you're doing and start staving off any signs of aging in the face." —W Magazine "Combining the author's intensely personal stories with relevant examples from the culture at large, the book is heartbreaking and hopeful, infuriating and triumphant." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review Face is a book of fictional vignettes that examines the fear and vestigial evolutionary habits that have caused women and men to cultivate the imagined reality that older women's faces are unattractive, undesirable, and something to be "fixed." Based on "older face" experiences of the author, Justine Bateman, and those of dozens of women and men she interviewed, the book presents the reader with the many root causes for society's often negative attitudes toward women's older faces. In doing so, Bateman rejects those ingrained assumptions about the necessity of fixing older women's faces, suggesting that we move on from judging someone's worth based on the condition of her face. With impassioned prose and a laser-sharp eye, Bateman argues that a woman's confidence should grow as she ages, not be destroyed by society's misled attitude about that one square foot of skin.

I enjoyed watching the transformations of the characters in the book and the relationships that were established.

Download or read book Welcome to the Jungle Kids written by Lyle Durst and published by Kadavy, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-05-30 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benny Proctor is eager to make a good impression this last week of junior high. His sleek new Oakley’s should do the trick. This short story (~2,800 words) is about the terrors of growing up, and the bittersweet taste of love requited a little too late. EXCERPT Benny had never asked a girl out. He got by on his good looks. Throughout much of his junior high career, his classmates had called him "Vinnie," based upon the best friend from the TV show, Doogie Howser, M.D. Girls would comment on his dimples, and call him "cute," which he hated – he would have preferred to have looked "cool." In this way, every few months, a girl's friend would ask Benny if he wanted to "go with" said friend. This didn't mean they would go anywhere. Benny would talk to her on the phone every night for a few months. That was about how long, Benny surmised, it took for them to realize deep down he was really a nerd. Try as he did to hide it, it came out of him, like the time Jamie Longton's friend, April, called and asked him what he was doing. Benny had excitedly shared that he had built a makeshift slingshot by forming a kneadable eraser around a rubber band, and stretching said rubber band over the edge of a wooden ruler, pulling back the payload. April had been silent a moment, before she had diplomatically explained to Benny she had been calling on Jamie's behalf – to dump him.
