Download or read book The Whole Mess and Other Stories written by Jack Skillingstead and published by Fairwood Press LLC. This book was released on 2023-11-07 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​What does it mean to be human in a universe of shifting, sometimes terrifying realities? Eighteen stories from Jack Skillingstead’s second decade of publishing feature intense and surprising explorations of who we are, who we wish to be, and who we can’t be. In “The Whole Mess” a genius math professor solves a multiverse equation only to find himself pursued by ancient Masters across the many iterations of his could-have-been lives. “Straconia” gives us a Kafkaesque world where all the lost things go, including people who must first find themselves before they can find a way back home. “Tribute” looks at a post-NASA space race that goes nowhere—until an unlikely pair of marooned astronauts find each other and the future. ​Also included in this collection is “The Writing Life,” a self-reflection on memory, ambition, and imagination in the formation of one writer’s journey.

Download or read book A Story of Stories written by Cristina Devereaux Ramírez and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2024-08-20 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One afternoon in fall 2015 Cristina Devereaux Ramírez’s mother called and, with a tone of urgency in her voice, asked her to come to the house and take a look at something she had discovered when she was sorting through boxes in the attic. When Ramírez arrived, she found her family sifting through papers in an old vegetable box, reading some of the more than 750 pages of Spanish language poems, short stories, fables, and dichos Ramírez’s maternal grandmother, Ramona González, had written. Some pieces were works in progress, complete with word and phrase strikethroughs and handwritten notes in the margins, while others were neatly typed prose or what might have been final drafts. None of González’s writings had seen the outside of that box for decades, at least since 1995 when the family matriarch passed away. González—or Doña Ramona, as she was often called—was born in 1906 in the El Paso border barrio of Chihuahuita, sometimes referred to as the Ellis Island of the Southwest. Her writing celebrates the rich Mexican American culture of Chihuahuita, a neighborhood the National Trust for Historic Preservation identified in 2016 as one of America’s most endangered historic places. A mother, corner grocery store owner, published writer, and community activist, González was one of the few Tejanas profiled in Worthy Mothers of Texas, 1776–1976 A Story of Stories from a Texas Border Barrio, Ramírez chronicles the life of her abuela with the care of a granddaughter and, with the eye of a scholar, analyzes selections from González’s work and its significance to El Paso history, Chicano literature, border barrio folklore, and cross-border civic movements in the mid-twentieth century.

Download or read book A Selection of Short Stories written by E W Farnsworth and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. W. Farnsworth's brainy and visionary short stories in this volume are meant to be read individually as invitations to other of his creations. The uncanny interplay of the writer and his context can be understood by the thoughtful, patient reader capable of perceiving semantic patterns beneath the surface of words. The excerpt from 'Nightworld: A Novel of Virtual Reality' inspired the cover image for this book since the woman with the wolf in the forest is a boundary-crossing Artificial Intelligence. Part of Farnsworth's epic vision for the future of humankind, AIs and robotics, the stories from 'DarkFire' and 'DarkFire Continuum' weave a continuous cosmology as the adventures of the spaceship 'Arcturus' begin. These stories reveal how their many intellectual games open vistas to the author's past and future stories as well as to inventions and discoveries on the far-horizon of human thought. E. W. Farnsworth is currently working on a visionary epic poem, 'Voyage of the Spaceship Arcturus'.
