Book excerpt: Who stops drinking on New Year's Eve?! The most sanctioned excuse - possibly ever - for mandatory drunkenness? Well, Tenley Summer for one. She had already stopped too many times to count. Stopping wasn't the problem. Staying stopped was. And yet, in 2010, she finally succeeds. Like Lewis Carroll's Alice, Tenley experiences a life-changing rabbit moment that is also white (just involving light instead of critters). Catapulted into an Alice-style freefall, she is desperate to understand what just happened. So she embarks on a quest filled with colorful characters, snarky commentary and wtf conversations. Her nerdy love of research and insatiable curiosity eventually lead her to stumble upon an effective body-mind-spirit solution that addresses: - the physical issues of a body in withdrawal from the booze it's addicted to; - how to mobilize the mind and its amazing powers; - the (dreaded) spiritual side of things. More than just the "nuts and bolts" of how to quit drinking, Make Mine a Virgin is a joyful, cheeky and self-deprecating celebration of how one drunk finally figured out how to stay stopped - for 30, 60, 90 days and beyond...and enjoyed (almost) every minute of it.

Book excerpt: A confident and mesmerizing fiction debut, from the winner of the Plimpton Prize Set in the South, at the crossroads of a world that is both secular and devoutly Christian, April Ayers Lawson's stories evoke the inner lives of young women and men navigating sexual, emotional, and spiritual awakenings. In "The Negative Effects of Homeschooling," Conner, sixteen, accompanies his grieving mother to the funeral of her best friend, Charlene, a woman who was once a man.

Download or read book Selected Essays of Sean O Faolain written by Brad Kent and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 559 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sean O’Faolain (1900-1991) was Ireland’s leading social and political critic in the period following the country’s independence from the United Kingdom. Since his death, scholarly opinion has alternately cast him as an arch-revisionist, a liberal nationalist, and a frustrated republican. The Selected Essays of Sean O’Faolain reassesses his reputation by showing that he wrote in the tradition of post-Enlightenment European intellectuals, and that while he was a significant figure in Ireland, his work extends beyond immediate national concerns. This volume includes over fifty unabridged essays by O’Faolain on a wide range of subjects – from canonical writers to architecture, from religious scandals to economics, from nationalism to internationalism, from long-dead historical figures to recent controversies. O’Faolain’s fearlessness in taking on the major political, cultural, and religious figures of his day, his masterly use of rhetoric, and his intellectual acuity have contributed to his works being quoted often by scholars working across several disciplines. Many of these essays appear here in print for the first time since they were published in the foremost periodicals of their day. An extensive introduction and helpful annotations contextualise and explain them for a new audience. In his re-readings of history and challenges to dominant historiographical trends, O’Faolain has become a pariah to some and a hero to others. The Selected Essays of Sean O’Faolain bridges some of these competing visions, presenting a more complex figure through his varied corpus of writing.
