Megs sings the sultry blues at a club each weekend, begins a secret affair, and drinks her troubles away with her saucy best friend, Lorraine---all while trying to keep her children happy and her head above water. But with help from an eccentric professor whose house she cleans, her life is about to get a shot in the arm. Megs begins to speak her mind, stand up for herself, and live her life in color. Poignant and incredibly witty, Giving Up On Ordinary is a heartwarming story with laughter and surprises on every page.

Download or read book David Fincher written by Mark Browning and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-06-02 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film scholar Mark Browning offers the first detailed analysis of the work of David Fincher, director of the critically acclaimed films Se7en, Fight Club, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. David Fincher is one of the most exciting filmmakers working in Hollywood today. He has produced a string of groundbreaking films that have achieved both critical and commercial success, while constantly challenging audiences to rethink their expectations of generic boundaries. David Fincher: Films That Scar is the first truly analytical work on the films of this mysterious and complex filmmaker. This insightful book analyzes all of Fincher's feature films, as well as examples of his commercials and pop videos, tracing key influences that include his background in special effects. It considers how he creates roles for strong women, how he has extended the detective genre, and how he adapts cult texts. The book also questions whether Fincher's films, famous for their downbeat endings and "dark" visual style, are really bleak or just part of an unconventional approach to filmmaking. In the end, readers will understand the development of Fincher's individual films and appreciate how the films relate closely to each other.

Book excerpt: From a PEN Award winner, these tales ranging from Depression-era Quebec to contemporary Vancouver offer “irresistible storytelling through and through” (Kirkus Reviews). Canada is one of the world’s most diverse and gorgeous countries, stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific, with a wealth of experiences and people to match its incredible size and breadth. The nation’s impressive variety is on display in Home Truths, Mavis Gallant’s ode to her home country through stories. Gallant moves effortlessly through time and place, taking the reader from Depression-era Quebec to 1950s Paris to contemporary Vancouver while dealing with the universal themes of the innocence of youth, intrafamily relations, and the expat’s growing feeling of distance from home. The pinnacle of the collection is Gallant’s moving Linnet Muir series, an autobiographical look at a young woman’s return to Montreal at eighteen after living abroad. Home Truths is a compelling testament to Gallant’s enduring grace and humor.
