The comic lineup includes Christopher Buckley, Ian Frazier, Veronica Geng, Garrison Keillor, Steve Martin, Susan Orlean, Simon Rich, David Sedaris, Calvin Trillin, and many others.

Book excerpt: When five thousand dollars and the governor's daughter disappear from the Monmouth Plantation in 1852, Natchez Sheriff Murphy is called on to interrogate three suspicious house guests: Kitty, a minstrel actress from New York's grim Five Points district, learned the value of playing dumb and sitting pretty long ago. For Sheriff Murphy, she's all batted eyelashes and girlish innocence-But her employer, Lord Farkas, hints at a sinister cleverness lurking behind Kitty's charm. A genteel nobleman from Hungary, Farkas may be the most respectable of the suspects, but the vast incongruities between his testimony and Kitty's force the sheriff to confront the third member of their party: a free black Londoner named Coop.While Coop might have been naive about posing as a slave on this downstream venture, he's been in America long enough to know his word counts for nothing. It isn't even legal for a black person to testify against a white in Natchez. But Sheriff Murphy isn't fussing with legalities-not when a young girl is in danger. If Coop is willing to cooperate, Murphy might just be willing to make a deal.Now Coop's fate hinges on convincing Murphy of a truth more tangled than Farkas and Kitty's lies

Download or read book Parenting Gifted Kids written by James Delisle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-03 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gifted education Legacy Award winner, Parenting Gifted Kids: Tips for Raising Happy and Successful Children provides a humorous, engaging, and encouraging look at raising gifted children today. James R. Delisle, Ph.D., offers practical, down-to-earth advice that will cause parents to reexamine the ways they perceive and relate to their children. Dr. Delisle puts forward 10 tips to parents of gifted children—ideas that reflect attitude and approach and allow for introspection and change, rather than quick, do-it-tonight solutions. Some topics of interest include understanding a child's giftedness, working with the school system, dealing with perfectionism in gifted kids, and being adult role models for children. Along the way, stories from gifted children and their parents provide insight into the lives of these individuals. What sets this book apart from other books for parents of gifted kids is its expansion beyond mere platitudes. Dr. Delisle's tips go beyond the basics, focusing on attitude, reflection, and subtle changes, rather than specific, cookie-cutter recipes for action. The 10 tips suggested and expanded upon in this book include: understanding what giftedness is . . . and what it is not; understanding the differences between gifted kids and their agemates; understanding the personality traits of gifted kids, including overexcitabilities; taking charge of your child's education; understanding the issue of perfectionism in gifted kids; examining social nuances and myths related to giftedness; examining the similarities parents share with their gifted children; setting reasonable goals; helping gifted children make a difference in the lives of others; and remembering that gifted children are kids first and gifted second.

Download or read book The Imposters written by Tom Rachman and published by Random House. This book was released on 2024-08-27 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the international bestseller The Imperfectionists, the story of a chameleonic writer, and the indelible characters in her orbit, in a novel about love, the power of art and what we leave behind. Dora Frenhofer, a once successful but now aging and embittered novelist, knows her mind is going. She is determined, however, to finish her final book, and reverse her fortunes, before time runs out. Alone in her London home during the pandemic, she creates, and is in turn created by, the fascinating real characters from her own life. Like a twenty-first-century Scheherazade, Dora spins stories to ward off her end. From New Delhi to New York, Copenhagen to Los Angeles, Australia to Syria to Paris, Dora's chapters trot the globe, inhabiting the perspectives of her missing brother, her estranged daughter, her erstwhile lover, and her last remaining friend, among others in her orbit. As her own life comes into ever sharper focus, so do the signal events that have made her who she is, leaving us in Dora's thrall until, with an unforeseen twist, she snaps the final piece of the puzzle into place. The Imposters is Tom Rachman at his inimitable best. With his trademark style—at once "deliciously ironic and deeply affectionate" (The Washington Post)—he has delivered a novel whose formal ingenuity and flamboyant technique are matched only by its humanity and generosity.

Download or read book Book of Fools An Intelligent Person s Guide to Fops Jackasses Morons Dolts Dunces Halfwits and Blockheads written by Terry Reed and published by Algora Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a provocatively, outrageously assertive exposure of fools in their not infrequently bizarre manifestations, the object being to leave no halfwits behind. It explores the world of the fool from many perspectives, including Engines of Limited Cognition: Dumb Bells, Dumb Clucks and Dumb Waiters; Imprudence and Its Imbecilic Implications; Fools, Eccentrics & Sons of Momus; and Idiotic Opportunities: Putting Fools to Work. This is not to infer (or even hint) that either the author or his readership is in any demonstrable sense of the word foolish, now or at any other time. After all, no fool would write a book like this, and no fool would read it. Precisely who does read it is a discretely personal decision we leave to those gifted with more than ordinarily inquiring minds. Indeed, those who elect to come along for the ride are likely to find their minds piqued, tickled and enriched by this tour de farce. True to form, Reed illustrates Ambrose Bierce's definition of educational -- 'that which discloses to the wise and disguises from the fools their lack of understanding.' Abundantly documented, endlessly subtle, hopelessly eccentric and deadly funny, the book blends history, sociology, literature, philosophy, etymology and even theology, all with a good laugh.
