Download or read book Love Stories or But You Will Get Used to It written by Itamar Moses and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2010 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A casting session for a play about a love affair goes awry. A talk-back with a theater audience becomes the occasion for a life-altering choice. A couple moving in together finds that greater intimacy can be a mixed blessing when even the surface of their dialogue is stripped away. Metatheatrical antics abound in Itamar Moses’s Love/Stories (or, but you will get used to it), five one-act meditations on modern love and on the act of telling stories — in which a variety of inventive devices stresses the ineradicable gap between art and experience. Reminiscent of the works of both Samuel Beckett and David Foster Wallace in their verbal dexterity, humor, and generosity, the plays collected in Love/Stories constitute an important addition to the contemporary American theater by one of our most exciting young playwrights.
Download or read book Resistance Revolution and Other Love Stories written by K. and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is love the most revolutionary of all acts? In this wide-ranging collection of twelve short stories, a startling array of characters explore their perspectives on love. The stories sweep from sharp realism to heady allegory, haunting fables to sci-fi thrillers, starring teens and drifting husbands, futuristic automatons and talking dogs, gardeners and gatekeepers, a blind girl, a young father, and many more. In “Calamity Jane,” see love through the eyes of teenage boys obsessed with the calamitous girl of the title; revisit the famous Greek love story in “Orpheus and Eurydice”; Dan’s mechanical automaton seems to be his truest friend in the harshly conformist world of “Automatonomatopoeia”; a Crimean revolutionary gets waylaid at a mysterious gate in “The Invitation”; on a construction site in Yugoslavia, a young man tries to come to grips with unconventional fatherhood in “Vikings”; and in “The Conversation”, a blind woman manages her relationship with a hectoring mother while finding other types of love. These are just a few of the tales in Resistance, Revolution and Other Love Stories. Anyone interested in the struggle against stifling societal powers and the potency of love will see some of themselves in these pages. By turns exciting, meditative, and funny, these enjoyable, thought-provoking stories will linger long after the book is closed. Let the revolution begin!

Assassinations, impeachments, terrorist attacks, elections, wars, disasters both natural and man-made these constitute the 24-hour-a-day breaking news cycle that helped make Cohen one of the worlds most influential journalists. In these days of political turmoil and allegations of "fake news," this highly personal book offers a chance to see and feel how it's been to work in a changing media universe with constant challenges, excitement and pressure to perform, plus the thrills, satisfaction and frustration that make the news business at once rewarding and exhausting. Now, shifting gears a bit, Cohen has written Of Course You Can Have Ice Cream for Breakfast! A Journalists Uncommon Memoir.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The month must have been like November-December. The sky was clear, the sun had set. We were enjoying the sun with our friends sitting in the college campus itself, today we friends were throwing things here and there, when my attention was fixed near the main gate of the college. Someone was coming, wearing a light blue sweater, a yellow salwar suit and turning her silky hair forward. The light sunlight falling on his face and the red dot of his lilar was blooming wonderfully. When she came near me, my eyes were wide open. Hey! This is Nisha. His name suddenly came out of my mouth. I had proposed Nisha many times but till now no response was received from her. She never refused and never agreed. She just smiled and avoided it. This was the reason why my friend always used to tell me that Nisha also loves you, that's why she doesn't deny you. Seeing her so well-dressed today, I had also decided that today I will keep taking answers from her. Now we had gone to class but as soon as we got a chance in the break, I asked him "Nisha! I want to ask you one thing" "Ask," said Nisha. I was speaking while suppressing my voice that she said while cutting my words, "Okay! Today you will not say anything, I will speak only" On hearing this, my heartbeat started beating loudly. The whole body shook like lightning. But my happiness knew no bounds on hearing that voice. Today was the most beautiful moment of my life, which I was waiting for for many year

Grace Valentine identifies the lies that many young women believe about their identity and self-worth, sharing her own struggles with these lies and how she overcame them through her faith in Jesus. Young women today are constantly told they are not enough for this world—not pretty enough, not smart enough, not exciting enough, and just plain not good enough. Grace Valentine has felt the pressure of trying to survive in a toxic culture, let alone thrive. But she’s had enough. Grace uses her story to confront the lies the world tells us every day—lies such as: You are beautiful—but only because a guy told you so Love must be earned and isn’t freely given You should forget your past You will never be enough Am I Enough? is a line in the sand. It’s a declaration that we will never be enough for this world, because we were created by Someone better for something better. Grace's fresh voice will help you leave your insecurities behind and realize your unique identity in Christ. Discover how to push past the lies and find confidence in who you were made to be!
