Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Peter Kindred He returned to school his second year with greater confidence. He had no group of friends to make joyous the tidying of his new quarters, but the school was his friend, the unchanging halls, the majestic trees, and the October wind. Small things made him welcome, the knowledge of places and events, familiar eating houses, the ability to accept old duties lightly, and to direct worried newcomers. He greeted more men than he had known before, and was greeted by them in turn; his friends of the last year were glad to see him. It seemed to him as though he could boast of some small place in Exeter, and he was comfortably aware that he had not come, but that he had returned.

Not illustrated. 1919 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XI TTTlTH the first sluggishness of spring in the ' city, Peter's weekly salary was doubled. The amazing part of it was that it came entirely unexpected, the result of happy chance and a flare of impudence. It so happened that a very particular idea was needed for a very particular company that manufactured an excessively mediocre line of jellies. "Oh, the devil," Peter said idly, when he heard about it, "why not take a lot of howling big space and advertise in direct public letters to the "White House?" "Do you mean to the President, Kindred?" asked a solicitor, who overheard him. "No," said Peter with what he imagined was comic seriousness, "what would he do with a lot of jellies? To the President's wife, of course." "There's something in that, you know," the solicitor muttered. And the preposterous idea was taken, and the wages of the horrified Peter were doubled. The next Saturday, with thirty dollars in his pocket, he walked home slowly, up Fifth Avenue and through the Park, from Fifty-ninth Street, and then east again at Seventy-second. In the Park the turgid breaking of winter was apparent. The sun of late afternoon slanted across the distant roof tops of the west side in full yellow, and a moist wind, grave and chilly, blew at him from the east. Old and forgotten snow lay scattered, half ice, half melted, gray with the passage of days, like tufts of dingy cotton caught in the crevices of rocks. There was a sweet smell of wet, sunwarmed, brown earth, and it mingled and drifted with the odor of asphalt, of pavements, of oil and motors and old gray snow. Here in the Park there was comparative quiet, save for the inescapable murmur of the city, and Peter let his thoughts drift to Cambridge. To Cambridge . . . there was a deal...
Download or read book Kindred written by Octavia E. Butler and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2004-02-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Parable of the Sower and MacArthur “Genius” Grant, Nebula, and Hugo award winner The visionary time-travel classic whose Black female hero is pulled through time to face the horrors of American slavery and explores the impacts of racism, sexism, and white supremacy then and now. “I lost an arm on my last trip home. My left arm.” Dana’s torment begins when she suddenly vanishes on her 26th birthday from California, 1976, and is dragged through time to antebellum Maryland to rescue a boy named Rufus, heir to a slaveowner’s plantation. She soon realizes the purpose of her summons to the past: protect Rufus to ensure his assault of her Black ancestor so that she may one day be born. As she endures the traumas of slavery and the soul-crushing normalization of savagery, Dana fights to keep her autonomy and return to the present. Blazing the trail for neo-slavery narratives like Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad and Ta-Nehisi Coates’s The Water Dancer, Butler takes one of speculative fiction’s oldest tropes and infuses it with lasting depth and power. Dana not only experiences the cruelties of slavery on her skin but also grimly learns to accept it as a condition of her own existence in the present. “Where stories about American slavery are often gratuitous, reducing its horror to explicit violence and brutality, Kindred is controlled and precise” (New York Times). “Reading Octavia Butler taught me to dream big, and I think it’s absolutely necessary that everybody have that freedom and that willingness to dream.” —N. K. Jemisin Developed for television by writer/executive producer Branden Jacobs-Jenkins (Watchmen), executive producers also include Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields (The Americans, The Patient), and Darren Aronofsky (The Whale). Janicza Bravo (Zola) is director and an executive producer of the pilot. Kindred stars Mallori Johnson, Micah Stock, Ryan Kwanten, and Gayle Rankin.

Book excerpt: Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, Toni Morrison’s Beloved is a spellbinding and dazzlingly innovative portrait of a woman haunted by the past. Sethe was born a slave and escaped to Ohio, but eighteen years later she is still not free. She has borne the unthinkable and not gone mad, yet she is still held captive by memories of Sweet Home, the beautiful farm where so many hideous things happened. Meanwhile Sethe’s house has long been troubled by the angry, destructive ghost of her baby, who died nameless and whose tombstone is engraved with a single word: Beloved. Sethe works at beating back the past, but it makes itself heard and felt incessantly in her memory and in the lives of those around her. When a mysterious teenage girl arrives, calling herself Beloved, Sethe’s terrible secret explodes into the present. Combining the visionary power of legend with the unassailable truth of history, Morrison’s unforgettable novel is one of the great and enduring works of American literature.

Download or read book The Limits of Auteurism written by Nicholas Godfrey and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-10 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Hollywood era of the late 1960s and early 1970s has become one of the most romanticized periods in motion picture history, celebrated for its stylistic boldness, thematic complexity, and the unshackling of directorial ambition. The Limits of Auteurism aims to challenge many of these assumptions. Beginning with the commercial success of Easy Rider in 1969, and ending two years later with the critical and commercial failure of that film’s twin progeny, The Last Movie and The Hired Hand, Nicholas Godfrey surveys a key moment that defined the subsequent aesthetic parameters of American commercial art cinema. The book explores the role that contemporary critics played in determining how the movies of this period were understood and how, in turn, strategies of distribution influenced critical responses and dictated the conditions of entry into the rapidly codifying New Hollywood canon. Focusing on a small number of industrially significant films, this new history advances our understanding of this important moment of transition from Classical to contemporary modes of production.
