Download or read book An Angry Ass Black Woman written by Karen E. Quinones Miller and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sassy, shocking autobiographical novel from the author of Uptown Dreams captures the racial tensions, the hardships, and the bonds that formed between families and neighbors growing up poor in Harlem. You’d be angry, too, if you grew up poorer than poor in Harlem in the 1960s and ’70s, a place of unrelenting violence, racism, crime, rape, scamming, drinking, and drugging. Living with a dad permanently checked out in Bellevue and a mom at the end of her rope raising you, your twin sister, and your two brothers, moving every time the money runs out—and doing what it takes to survive. But there’s more to her story. Ke-Ke Quinones was whip smart and sassy, a voracious reader of everything from poetry to the classics. No matter what, 117th Street—where you could always count on someone to stand up for you—would always be home. And with every hard-knock lesson learned, Ke-Ke grew fiercer, unleashing her inner angry-ass black woman to get through it all. Decades later, comatose in a hospital bed after a medical crisis, she reflects on her life—her success as a journalist and renowned author, her tragicomic memories of Harlem, her turbulent marriage, the birth of her daughter, future possibilities—all the while surrounded by her splintered family in all of their sound and fury. Will she rise above once more?

Download or read book Joe Gould s Secret written by Joseph Mitchell and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2016-01-26 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a notorious New York eccentric and the journalist who chronicled his life: “A little masterpiece of observation and storytelling” (Ian McEwan). Joseph Mitchell was a cornerstone of the New Yorker staff for decades, but his prolific career was shattered by an extraordinary case of writer’s block. For the final thirty-two years of his life, Mitchell published nothing. And the key to his silence may lie in his last major work: the biography of a supposed Harvard grad turned Greenwich Village tramp named Joe Gould. Gould was, in Mitchell’s words, “an odd and penniless and unemployable little man who came to this city in 1916 and ducked and dodged and held on as hard as he could for over thirty-five years.” As Mitchell learns more about Gould’s epic Oral History—a reputedly nine-million-word collection of philosophizing, wanderings, and hearsay—he eventually uncovers a secret that adds even more intrigue to the already unusual story of the local legend. Originally written as two separate pieces (“Professor Sea Gull” in 1942 and then “Joe Gould’s Secret” twenty-two years later), this magnum opus captures Mitchell at his peak. As the reader comes to understand Gould’s secret, Mitchell’s words become all the more haunting. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Joseph Mitchell including rare images from the author’s estate.

At twenty-two years old, Jholee had given up everything, including her full-time hours at school, her apartment, her expensive bags, and her car after her drug dealing dad's indiscretions put their family in a bind that blindsided them all. With everything that Jholee had given up, that still wasn't enough for her family to get back to normal, and after her dad shut down the thought of her taking her clothes off for money, she only had one thing left to sell: her virginity. Kiandre 'TK' Kincaid has had the Jacksonville streets secured when it came to moving weight, but after years of watching his father make money off women lying on their backs, he decided to try his hand at building his own legacy without stepping on them to get there. In order to make his dreams of owning a strip club a reality, TK finds himself moonlighting at his father's sex shop from time to time. When circumstance leads him to working the front desk, it's there that he meets the very impressionable Jholee. After realizing that Jholee isn't cut out for being a sex worker, he trashes her application and literally takes matters into his own hands. Jholee and TK's worlds collide faster than they both would like to admit, but just as there are things keeping them together, there are just as many pulling them apart, including but not limited to Jholee's best friends, Riley and Octavia, her parents, TK's parents, and TK's girlfriend Cheyenne.

Book excerpt: The play opens in the arid summer of 1929 with an American farmer, Joe MacDonald and his family living in poverty on a run-down rented farm in the dustbowl. The ramshackle farm buildings are overshadowed by a large tree growing next to the house. The farm is owned by a local businessman, Cornelius Spenk, who has fingers in every pie. Spenk’s son is friendly with one of MacDonald’s sons, Billy. The MacDonalds also have a daughter, Becky, another small son nicknamed Peewee and an ornery grandmother living with them. There is a sandstorm in progress and during the storm we see MacDonald in his daily struggle as he carries in a heavy sack of grain. After he’s gone a black vagrant comes on and hides in the woodshed. The storm abates and the children come out to play a game of baseball. When the ball goes into the woodshed the vagrant is discovered and the alarm raised. Joe rushes out with a gun and with his wife, Mattie, he confronts the hobo who is asked what he was doing in the shed. He apparently refuses to speak until Mattie points out that he’s actually unable to speak because he hasn’t got a tongue. They find out that the hobo’s name is Abe, short for “Absalom, bringer of peace.” The kindly Mattie decides to take the vagrant in, against her husband’s better judgment and he slowly becomes a friend of the family, which is very much against the wishes of the racist farm owner, Cornelius Spenk The latter has a twin brother, Franklyn, who is the local doctor, treating grandmother, and has all the kindly qualities that Cornelius doesn’t have. In the first act we see all the pressures on the luckless Joe, the back-rent owed to Spenk, the problems of farming in the dustbowl, etc and when he is persuaded by his wife that their daughter is in need of a separate room constructing away from the boys, he brings in a load of timber but is caught in his preparations by Spenk who denies him permission to build. The tree next to the farm is a magnet for the mischievous Peewee who has his mind set on moving to a better life in the promised land of California. He is constantly climbing the tree to see if he can see that far. On once occasion he is rescued from falling by the hobo, Abe, but eventually he climbs the tree once too often and at the end of the first act we hear him fall to the earth with a thud. Billy rushes to town to tell his pa who, unknown to him, is being forced to pay off some of the back-rent he owes Spenk by working as a temporary hotel doorman. Act Two finds the injured Peewee being visited by the kindly doctor who wants to help but the family are without insurance cover and at the time there is no national health service so the boy’s healing is left in the hands of Mother Nature. The child is now paralyzed and on one of his unpaid visits the doctor suggests that the parents should try and think of something to encourage Peewee to get better. They scratch their heads for an answer until Joe comes up with an idea that sounds absurd to his wife – he decides to build a tree house. Much against his wife wishes the construction begins with Abe helping and the end result is a very simple platform with a ladder, which is shown to Peewee but is so plain that it doesn’t have the desired result. Joe becomes even more depressed until Abe points to a quote in his pocket bible “My father’s house has many rooms,” which is a message to Joe to extend the tree house. Joe decides to try Abe’s suggestion and between them they set off to build the biggest tree house anyone has ever seen. The improved version is eventually shown to Peewee and Joe is pleased to see that it gets some response from him but unfortunately word goes round the area and sightseers begin to come from far and wide. Gran is disturbed one day by the sightseers whilst trying to eat her meal and has to be physically restrained from shooting one of them. Then Cornelius Spenk picks up his son and says that he will be back later to speak to Joe about the construction. Joe thinks that he’s in for trouble but his situation with the injured Peewee has strengthened his resolve not to take the tree house down, even if and when Spenk tells him to. Much to his surprise Spenk does just the opposite, he likes it and has realized that he can make money from the sightseers so he offers Joe a business partnership with Joe to be the sitting caretaker. To persuade Joe, Spenk offers to try to get him into a secret local organization that he’s in. Joe knows this won’t go down well with Mattie and he stalls for time. While all this has been going on their daughter Becky is preparing for the annual Speaking Competition and is taken to town to do some research by Abe on the tractor. When she is late back and eventually turns up they learn that Becky has had trouble from some of the other girls and that there’s been a fight in which she has been helped by Abe. Cornelius Spenk then arrives and wants to take Abe back to town. Joe thinks it’s about the fight and tries to put it off till the next day until Spenk draws a pistol and takes Abe in by force. It transpires that an allegation has been made by one of the girls against Abe of a serious sexual assault behind the library and the vagrant is kept in custody while the Speaking Competition is being held. Joe calls to see Abe in the jail and on leaving is given a handwritten note by him. He then goes on with the family to the speaking competition and learns from Spenk that in the allegations against Abe he is supposed to have sweet-talked the girl into going behind the library with him and Joe realizes Abe has been set up. He points out to Spenk that Abe doesn’t have a tongue with which to sweet-talk anybody but Spenk dodges the issue and tells Joe to keep his mouth shut, that he’ll sort out the evidence and that the tree house is now a legally registered company on Wall Street. Joe then has a big moral dilemma because he really does need the money from the sightseers in order to get treatment for Peewee. Becky gives her talk and surprises the audience by outlining how badly black folks have been treated in American history. While she is delivering her speech we hear in the background the sound of a lynch mob and see someone dressed in the white robes of the KKK go to Abe’s cell and take him out. Billy rushes to the Competition to tell his pa but by then it is too late. Joe then has the difficult decision of what to do – he decides to face his demons and tells the audience everything that has happened and reads the note that Abe gave him, which describes how he lost his tongue. The last scene sees Joe rushing home to pack the truck for a new life in California and his last defiant act is to take an axe to the tree house. This is the same day that the infamous Wall Street Crash took place.
