Book excerpt: INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER WINNER OF THE STORY PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY USA TODAY, NPR, VULTURE, MARIE CLAIRE, THE TIMES OF LONDON, GOOD HOUSEKEEPING, AND PUBLISHERS WEEKLY A group portrait of young adults enmeshed in desire and violence, a hotly charged, deeply satisfying new work of fiction from the author of Booker Prize finalist Real Life In the series of linked stories at the heart of Filthy Animals, set among young creatives in the American Midwest, a young man treads delicate emotional waters as he navigates a series of sexually fraught encounters with two dancers in an open relationship, forcing him to weigh his vulnerabilities against his loneliness. In other stories, a young woman battles with the cancers draining her body and her family; menacing undercurrents among a group of teenagers explode in violence on a winter night; a little girl tears through a house like a tornado, driving her babysitter to the brink; and couples feel out the jagged edges of connection, comfort, and cruelty. One of the breakout literary stars of 2020, Brandon Taylor has been hailed by Roxane Gay as “a writer who wields his craft in absolutely unforgettable ways.” With Filthy Animals he renews and expands on the promise made in Real Life, training his precise and unsentimental gaze on the tensions among friends and family, lovers and others. Psychologically taut and quietly devastating, Filthy Animals is a tender portrait of the fierce longing for intimacy, the lingering presence of pain, and the desire for love in a world that seems, more often than not, to withhold it.

Book excerpt: In this concise volume, leading economist John B. Taylor offers empirical research to explain what caused the current financial crisis, what prolonged it, and what dramatically worsened it more than a year after it began. The evidence he presents strongly suggests that specific government actions and interventions are largely to blame and that any future government interventions must be based on a clearly stated diagnosis of the problem and a rationale for the interventions.
Download or read book Fuqua written by J. B. Fuqua and published by Taylor Trade Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1965, J.B. Fuqua took over a small brick-and-tile operation and within four years had turned it into a Fortune 500 company. In a fascinating memoir, this legendary deal-maker details his rise from being born a farmer's son to becoming one of the most respected businessmen and philanthropists in America. Born in 1918 in rural Prince Edward County, Virginia, J.B. Fuqua knew by the age of fourteen that he wanted more out of life than being a tobacco farmer. This book describes his early interest in radio and television, and how the transaction of his first deal, a radio station in Augusta, Georgia, was made. Fuqua broadened his education in his youth by borrowing books from the Duke University Library, a favor he repaid years later by endowing Duke's business school. A consummate entrepreneur, he bought or started over forty companies during his long career. He also served in the Georgia State Legislature and was a chairman of the Democratic Party of Georgia. In recent years, he has been lauded for his generous donations to educational and medical institutions. In Fuqua, J.B. Fuqua discusses the highlights of his multi-faceted career. He records not only the details of various deals and the influential faces he has known, but also offers up lessons he has learned along the way about work, family, and life.
