Download or read book The Paragon Hotel written by Lyndsay Faye and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gun moll with a knack for disappearing flees from Prohibition-era Harlem to Portland's Paragon Hotel. The year is 1921, and "Nobody" Alice James has just arrived in Oregon with a bullet wound, a lifetime's experience battling the New York Mafia, and fifty thousand dollars in illicit cash. She befriends Max, a black Pullman porter who reminds her achingly of home and who saves Alice by leading her to the Paragon Hotel. But her unlikely sanctuary turns out to be an all-black hotel in a Jim Crow city, and its lodgers seem unduly terrified of a white woman on the premises. As she meets the churlish Dr. Pendleton, the stately Mavereen, and the club chanteuse Blossom Fontaine, she understands their dread. The Ku Klux Klan has arrived in Portland in fearful numbers--burning crosses, electing officials, infiltrating newspapers, and brutalizing blacks. And only Alice and her new Paragon "family" are searching for a missing mulatto child who has mysteriously vanished into the woods. To untangle the web of lies and misdeeds around her, Alice will have to answer for her own past, too. A richly imagined novel starring two indomitable heroines, The Paragon Hotel at once plumbs the darkest parts of America's past and the most redemptive facets of humanity. From international-bestselling, multi-award-nominated writer Lyndsay Faye, it's a masterwork of historical suspense.

Download or read book Astronaut written by Scott Listfield and published by Paragon Books. This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph features dozens of works from prolific American painter Scott Listfield's Astronaut series. In these paintings, Scott's protagonist, a helmeted and very human astronaut, tours a landscape cluttered with pop culture icons, corporate logos, landmarks, and tongue-in-cheek science fiction references, all of which are rendered strangely exotic and alien by the inclusion of the viewpoint of this lone tourist, who is always hermetically sealed from the reality and implications of his surroundings. The inclusion of geometric shapes and digital artifacts, such as QR codes, and the presence of exotic animals―even dinosaurs―in these quotidian scenes adds to the strangeness of the compositions, deepening Scott's commentary on the modern world and compressing time and space and layers of reality in a way that makes us pull back from the banal and experience the everyday as a visitor from a distant time or place might see it.

Download or read book Cages Paintings by Sandra Chevrier written by Sandra Chevrier and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-08 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sandra Chevrier is an illustrator, painter and street artist living and working in Montreal, Canada. By mixing watercolour paintings and trompe l'oeil comic book collage she crafts beautiful, hyper-realistic mixed-media portraits.Sandra, who calls herself a "gaze collector," creates these hyperrealistic paintings of women in a manner that allows for reinterpretation and recontextualization of the superhero mask. By covering these images with a collage of comic book prints, using scenes from Superman and Batman to conceal the faces of these idealized women, Chevrier discovers new "fragile heroes," promoting the idea that vulnerability often underlies heroism. Titled "Cages," these mixed-media works encourage viewers to consider how the modern woman--like these superheroes--might also be surrounded by expectations of effortless perfection.

Download or read book Paragons of the Ordinary written by Marvin Marcus and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1992-12-01 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paragons of the Ordinary is about a quite extraordinary literary achievement: a series of biographies of obscure scholar-literati written by Mori Ogai, one of Japan's most prominent writers and intellectuals. Deeply concerned about the cultural toll taken by Japan's headlong modernization early in this century, Ogai employed the format of newspaper serialization in presenting meticulously researched accounts of individuals who had come to embody exemplary traits and traditional virtues. His unique project, undertaken over the period 1916-1921, resulted in nine interconnected works, the centerpiece of which is based on the life of Shibue Chusai, an all-but-unknown individual toward whom Ogai developed a deep bond of kinship and reverence, much like the sense of discipleship that Marvin Marcus holds toward Ogai. In exploring Ogai's biographical project, Marcus' aim is to convey a sense of its unique power and authority and to show how this power derives from Ogai's deft use of anecdotal episodes to highlight the exemplary character of his subject. Marcus places Ogai's work in the context of a long tradition of biographical narrative in Japan; at the same time he calls attention to the author's relationship to the contemporary literary scene and its journalistic orientation. Ogai's biographical works stand on their own as the unique artistic achievement of a giant of modern Japanese literature and culture. They also constitute a brilliant critique of a society that had lost touch with its traditional values. Marcus' reading of a literature often considered "inaccessible" or "elitist" will be relevant to the study of Japanese literature and history as well as to the craft of biographical research and of journalistic conventions that influence writers - in Japan as elsewhere.

Book excerpt: The Perfect Paragon continues the tradition in M. C. Beaton's beloved Agatha Raisin mystery series—now a hit show on Acorn TV and public television. After being nearly killed by both a hired hit man and her former secretary, Agatha Raisin could use some low-key cases. So when Robert Smedley walks through the door, determined to prove that his wife is cheating, Raisin Investigations immediately offers to help. Trouble is, Agatha hates divorce cases--especially when the client is as pompous as Smedley--but she has a business to run and she's not about to turn away a paying customer. Unfortunately for Agatha, Mabel Smedley appears to be the perfect wife, young and pretty and a regular volunteer at church. Although Smedley's case doesn't look promising, Agatha's attentions are diverted when she stumbles across the body of missing teenager, Jessica Bradley. In a sudden gesture of kindness (and good public relations), Agatha offers to investigate Jessica's death free of charge. As Agatha juggles her two biggest cases, things are turned upside down when Robert Smedley is found poisoned in his office. The prime suspect, his sainted wife Mabel, immediately hires Agatha to find the real killer. With the help of her old friend, Sir Charles Fraith, and some newly hired staff, Agatha Raisin sets off on another adventure solving crime in the English Cotswolds.
