Book excerpt: Jim Sain's star is rising! Life in Berkeley is as colorful as ever, and now, his life is even more bizarre than before just like he likes it. Despite his madness, buff oonery, and lefty leanings, Berkeley's zany mayor continues to be a media darling. Back for more, Jack McLaughlin's love song for Berkeley continues in mR. bERZERKELEY II. Jim's trying his best to navigate the waters, but Big Game antics and even bigger lies spun by his enemies are making it a rough crossing. And now that he's a father, he's out to lead the willing and find solutions for all the many challenges he now faces including a few surprises. His life is filled with real characters, as the expression goes: Nymphomaniac Jasmine is leading Josh toward the altar, while the pregnant Babe has escaped to Kansas, leaving Winnie to handle Hamilton House alone. Freshman Sarah changes lifestyles again and lesbian lovers Stephanie and Judy want to experience motherhood. Mysterious Michael and his mother, the evil vice chancellor, continue their hatred toward each other. Asia's bordello past and a murder put her future (and the chancellor's reputation) in danger. Former boarder Ainsley Bassette reappears on the scene; Bessie faces a life-or-death operation; and now, Trojan's fighting a deadly battle with coyotes. Toss in a little naked windsurfing on Southern California beaches and a trip to Disneyland, and you've got another exciting installment of wacky mR. bERZERKELEY adventures.

Book excerpt: For Jim Sain, the eccentric, controversial, and frequently naked mayor of Berkeley, California, life is never dulland thats just the way he likes it. In this, the final installment of his mR. bERZERKELEY trilogy, Jack McLaughlin wraps up his love song to the other city by the bay. Mayor Sain has a lot on his mind these days. Hes in Virginia City, involved in a murder trial; the accused is Asia, his half-sister, and she has been charged with their fathers murder. Jims an up-and-coming reality television star whose rise to fame and (possible) fortune is the talk of Hamilton House. Hes also the king of Mardi Gras in his spare time. BTW-hes still supposed to be running a city! Meanwhile, life at the boarding house is as outlandish as ever. No one knows quite what to think after Josh disappears. He is the target of a Chinese gang leader, and his life takes a confusing turn when he loses his memory and returns as an alligator hunter. Sarah soldiers on in her search for the one she now loves. The controversial culmination of Asias dog-cloning experiment draws near. And poor Bessie must deal with sadness she always feels when all the boarders leave after another wild and wacky year. But at least she has the new school year to cheer her up, when a new cast of characters brings fresh life to Hamilton House. Decisions are made, risks taken, drama endured, adventure survived, and excitement abounds as the mR. BERZERKELEY trilogy comes to a dazzling and bittersweet end.

Download or read book Na vet written by Dr. Jack W. McLaughlin Jr and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why would someone write a book about a child molester? As a lifelong educator, the most challenging situation I faced was dealing with the possibility a teacher was sexually molesting a student. The teacher in question was so popular no one could believe he was doing what the student alleged. I came into contact with experts who described the characteristics of a child molester...characteristics I had not or most educators had not been made aware of in our formal training. Once I heard of the modus operandi of a child molester I had the information I needed to begin dealing with not only that situation but others faced. Everyone was “Naïve”...it just couldn’t be! “A Parent’s Trust Betrayed” has been inspired and fictionalized into a worst case scenario to bring out molester’s characteristics to help others become knowledgeable. Most teachers/coaches/tutors/organizations, clubs and religious leaders with characteristics portrayed in this book are outstanding and not pedophiles, of course. But, one must not be “naïve” to the fact there is always that possibility.

Book excerpt: This gripping story -a year in the lives of three high school seniors and their school-takes us deep into the hearts and minds of American teenagers, and American society, today. The seniors of Berkeley High are the white, black, Latino, Asian, and multiracial children of judges and carpenters, software consultants and garbage collectors, housewives and housekeepers. Some are Harvard bound; others are illiterate. They are the Class of 2000, and through the lives of three of them Class Dismissed brings us inside the nation's most diverse high school-where we glimpse the future of the nation. Autumn was ten when her father abandoned her family; since then she's been helping her mother raise her two little brothers and keep food on the table-while keeping her grades up so she can go to college. Her faith in God gives Autumn strength, but who will give her the money she needs when she's offered the opportunity of a lifetime? From the outside, Jordan's life looks perfect. He hangs out with the "rich white kids"; rows on the crew team, has a cool mom, applied early to an East Coast college. But Jordan's drug-addicted father died last year, leaving Jordan reeling with grief and anger that makes his life feel anything but perfect-and his future suddenly seem uncertain. A third-generation Berkeley High student, Keith is bright and popular, a talented football player who hopes to play college ball and one day, go pro. But Keith has a reading problem that threatens his NFL dream. And the Berkeley police have a problem with Keith that threatens his very freedom. Looking into the lives of these young people, in this American town, at this time in history, we see more than what's true---and what's possible--for Berkeley High. We see what's true and what's possible for America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LONGLISTED FOR THE 2015 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2015 BY THE WASHINGTON POST, TIME, MEN’S JOURNAL, CHICAGO TRIBUNE, KANSAS CITY STAR, BROOKLYN MAGAZINE, NPR, HUFFINGTON POST, THE DAILY BEAST, AND BUZZFEED WINNER OF THE 2015 ERNEST J. GAINES AWARD FOR LITERARY EXCELLENCE LONGLISTED FOR THE 2016 ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL FOR EXCELLENCE IN FICTION NATIONAL BESTSELLER From the PEN/Faulkner finalist and critically acclaimed author of Hold It ’Til It Hurts comes a dark and socially provocative Southern-fried comedy about four UC Berkeley students who stage a dramatic protest during a Civil War reenactment—a fierce, funny, tragic work from a bold new writer. Welcome to Braggsville. The City that Love Built in the Heart of Georgia. Population 712 Born and raised in the heart of old Dixie, D’aron Davenport finds himself in unfamiliar territory his freshman year at UC Berkeley. Two thousand miles and a world away from his childhood, he is a small-town fish floundering in the depths of a large, hyper-liberal pond. Caught between the prosaic values of his rural hometown and the intellectualized multicultural cosmopolitanism of Berzerkeley, the nineteen-year-old white kid is uncertain about his place until one disastrous party brings him three idiosyncratic best friends: Louis, a “kung-fu comedian" from California; Candice, an earnest do-gooder claiming Native roots from Iowa; and Charlie, an introspective inner-city black teen from Chicago. They dub themselves the “4 Little Indians.” But everything changes in the group’s alternative history class, when D’aron lets slip that his hometown hosts an annual Civil War reenactment, recently rebranded “Patriot Days.” His announcement is met with righteous indignation, and inspires Candice to suggest a “performative intervention” to protest the reenactment. Armed with youthful self-importance, makeshift slave costumes, righteous zeal, and their own misguided ideas about the South, the 4 Little Indians descend on Braggsville. Their journey through backwoods churches, backroom politics, Waffle Houses, and drunken family barbecues is uproarious to start, but will have devastating consequences. With the keen wit of Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk and the deft argot of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, T. Geronimo Johnson has written an astonishing, razor-sharp satire. Using a panoply of styles and tones, from tragicomic to Southern Gothic, he skewers issues of class, race, intellectual and political chauvinism, Obamaism, social media, and much more. A literary coming-of-age novel for a new generation, written with tremendous social insight and a unique, generous heart, Welcome to Braggsville reminds us of the promise and perils of youthful exuberance, while painting an indelible portrait of contemporary America.

Download or read book Honky written by Dalton Conley and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This vivid memoir captures how race, class, and privilege shaped a white boy’s coming of age in 1970s New York—now with a new epilogue. “I am not your typical middle-class white male,” begins Dalton Conley’s Honky, an intensely engaging memoir of growing up amid predominantly African American and Latino housing projects on New York’s Lower East Side. In narrating these sharply observed memories, from his little sister’s burning desire for cornrows to the shooting of a close childhood friend, Conley shows how race and class inextricably shaped his life—as well as the lives of his schoolmates and neighbors. In a new afterword, Conley, now a well-established senior sociologist, provides an update on what his informants’ respective trajectories tell us about race and class in the city. He further reflects on how urban areas have (and haven’t) changed over the past few decades, including the stubborn resilience of poverty in New York. At once a gripping coming-of-age story and a brilliant case study illuminating broader inequalities in American society, Honky guides us to a deeper understanding of the cultural capital of whiteness, the social construction of race, and the intricacies of upward mobility.
