Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known for his novels, including the National Book Award winners The Field of Vision and Plains Song, Nebraska-born author Wright Morris has long been regarded as one of America's most gifted writers. This volume, culling work from the photo-text books, criticism, and numerous short stories frequently overlooked among his oeuvre, reflects the true breadth of this quintessentially American artist's talents. As such, it offers a fascinating overview of Morris's inspiring accomplishments in multiple genres. While embracing the prose for which Morris is justly famous, this treasury of work also highlights his photography and other literary genres, including hard-to-find stories first published in magazines, some of which were early drafts of future novels. Edited by Morris's long-time friend David Madden, this one-of-a-kind collection captures a man of multifarious genius. Replete with interviews, photography, a biographical sketch, suggestions for further reading, and Morris's inimitable writing, this compendium is an indispensable resource for those who wish to understand and appreciate the brilliance and virtuosity of one of America's true talents.

Download or read book The Thousand Deaths of Mr Small written by Gerald Kersh and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ' The Thousand Deaths Of Mr Small is the best novel that Gerald Kersh has yet written... Charles Small, successful advertising expert and miserable man, turns over in his mind the 'stinking, sour, stagnant, untransmitted mass' which is his life... This book has a rich, warm quality; long and full of detail, it teems with humour, satire, incident, character; in a word, with life.' Yorkshire Post 'It see-saws from side-splitting dialogue to such catalogues of loathing and revulsion as have rarely been seen in print, from outrageous farce to sudden compassion for the Smalls of this world, who find Hell enough in 'the eternal contemplation of themselves as they made themselves.'' New York Herald Tribune 'With brilliant descriptive power and an emetic vocabulary, [Kersh] has produced a tormented and forceful work.' Commonweal

Download or read book The World in the Attic written by Wright Morris and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2022-09-09 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wright Morris's "Nebraska Trilogy" (1946-49) embodies his attempt to capture and come to terms with his past. According to David Madden, in his study Wright Morris, "In The Inhabitants [a picture collection] the emphasis is on the artifacts inhabited and on the land; in The Home Place [narrative and pictures], on the inhabitants themselves; and in The World in the Attic, on what the land and the people signify to one man, Clyde Muncy, writer and self-exiled Nebraskan. . . . What was only suggested to Muncy in The Home Place is further developed, although not entirely resolved, in The World in the Attic. . . . [In it], Morris achieves the kind of objective conceptualization that is characteristic of his best novels. The first half of the book is impressionistic, a series of reminiscences like The Home Place; but the second half has a novelist narrative line. In The Home Place, the past, saturated in the immediate present, is merely alluded to. In The World in the Attic, however, the past is specifically and dramatically related to the present."

Download or read book The Second Talmage Powell Crime MEGAPACK written by Talmage Powell and published by Wildside Press LLC. This book was released on 2015-08-10 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are delighted to present our second collection of Talmage Powell mystery short stories! Powell (1920-2000) was one of the all-time great mystery writers of the pulp magazines (and later the digest mystery magazines). He claimed to have written more than 500 short stories, and we have no reason to doubt him -- we are working on a bibliography of his work and have documented 373 magazine stories so far...and who knows how many are out there under pseudonyms or buried in obscure magazines? He wrote his first novel, The Smasher, in 1959. He went on to pen 11 more novels under his own name, 4 as "Ellery Queen," and 2 novelizations of the hit TV series Mission: Impossible. Clearly, though, short stories were his first love. Included here are 20 more of his best crime tales, including: THE VITAL ELEMENT PSYCHO-SYMPTOMS STRANGER'S GIFT THE WAY OUT IN THE HOUSE OF RATS TO SPARE A LIFE THE INSPIRATION EASY MARK GATOR BAIT THE COMMUNE THE DELICATE VICTIM TRIAL RUN THE TIP-OFF THE ULTIMATE PREY NEW NEIGHBOR TILL DEATH DO NOT US PART HOPE CHEST THE HOLDUP A WAY WITH A WILL THE BEACON If you enjoy this book, search your favorite ebook store for "Wildside Press Megapack" to see the 240+ other entries in the series, covering mysteries, science fiction, fantasy, westerns, classics, adventure stories, and much, much more!

Download or read book Children of the Dream written by Laurel Holliday and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-02-04 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I let somebody call me 'nigger.' It wasn't just any old body, either; it was my friend. That really hurt." -- Amitiyah Elayne Hyman Martin Luther King, Jr., dreamed of a day when black children were judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. His eloquent charge became the single greatest inspiration for the achievement of racial justice in America. In her powerful fourth book in the Children of Conflict series, Laurel Holliday explores how far we have come as she presents thirty-eight African-Americans who share their experiences as Children of the Dream. "I was brought up with white Barbie dolls of impossible proportions and long silky blonde hair -- neither of which I possessed. As a child I believed what I was taught, and I wasn't taught to love myself for who I am -- an African-American." -- Charisse Nesbit The unforgettable people we hear from are young and old, rich and poor, from inner cities, suburbia, and rural America. In chronicles that are highly personal, funny, tragic, and triumphant, the contributors tell us what it is like coming of age stigmatized by the color of their skin, yet proud of their heritage and culture. Their voices, their courage, their resilience -- and their understanding -- offer hope for us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book may read like a novel, but John Brian Passler lived it. Growing up in a home with changing and uncertain core values, John was a mischievous child, and later, a troubled teen. He takes us through his U.S. Air Force experiences in Viet Nam and his pursuit of purpose, and success. Though successful in business at a young age, his worldliness led to moral failure, broken marriages and eventually addictions. When John met Jesus Christ, suddenly a new chapter unfolded. Read how God transformed him and transferred him from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of His Son, Jesus. John describes many of the challenges of the Christian life and the secrets to winning them. As he says, “God didn’t save us just so we can go to heaven. He saved us so He could sanctify us, conform us to the image of His Son, and use us to change our world.” Let this book challenge you to reexamine your relationship with God and see it as it really is. It will help prepare you for a fulfilling journey with God. God created you with a plan in mind. Discovering your place in His plan and crowning Him Lord of your life will fill you with love, joy, and peace.
