Book excerpt: A thoughtful, sensitively written tale about a man and his adolescent daughter after the death of the girl's mother. . . . This quietly uplifting book is for parents and children of all ages. -Advocate, Stamford, CTThis book is not only charming, but it contains some great wisdom. . . . It's a terrific book . . . a great gift for you, for your family. . . -Terry Meeuwsen, co-host of The 700 ClubEric Burns is a writer fighting for family values in a razzle-dazzle celebrity-laced culture. And the characters he creates here are geniune in description, dialogue, and emotions. -CompassA powerful indictment of a culture in celebrity's thrall . . . In this little work of fiction, he's told the shallow story of our time, pretending it's just a heart-warming tale about a different kind of princess and her dad. -NewsdayThis hard-cover gift book has the power to mist up the eyes of even the sternest reader. It will be especially potent for fathers and their daughters, if the latter are in their teens or older. Because of its message, it's one heck of an emotional gift for a girl or woman to give her dad if she admires him for the person he is rather than for the things he's accumulated. -Journal InquirerDo not expect to read [this book] and still have a dry eye. [It] will be every parent and child's favorite. -Barnes & Noble EventsFinally, a book for young readers that questions the meaning and importance of fame, a book that tries to put a few human priorities back where they belong. -Ellis Henican comments on Bloomberg Radio

Download or read book The Theater of Terrence McNally written by Peter Wolfe and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-10-17 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first book-length work on Terrence McNally shows how his decades in the theater have refined his thoughts on subjects like growing up gay in mannish, homophobic Texas, Shakespeare's legacy in contemporary drama, and the life-giving power of forgiveness. McNally believes that the ability to forgive--a challenge to even the most high-minded--confirms our humanity because the wrongs done to us usually don't deserve to be forgiven. The author shows how McNally's impeccable timing, his instinct for a good laugh line, and his preference for physical sensation and character over plot helps him reveal both what's important to his people and why his people are important. These revelations can shake up audiences while providing a great evening at the theater.
Download or read book Babe Ruth and the Creation of the Celebrity Athlete written by Thomas Barthel and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From his first year in the majors, George Herman "Babe" Ruth knew he could profit from celebrity. Babe Ruth Cigars in 1915 marked his first attempt to cash in. Traded to the Yankees in 1920, he soon signed with Christy Walsh, baseball's first publicity agent. Walsh realized that stories of great deeds in sports were a commodity, and in 1921 sold Ruth's ghostwritten byline to a newspaper syndicate for $15,000 ($187,000 today). Ruth hit home runs while Walsh's writers made him a hero, crafting his public image as a lovable scalawag. Were the stories true? It didn't matter--they sold. Many survive but have never been scrutinized until now. Drawing on primary sources, this book examines the stories, separating exaggerated facts from clear falsehoods. This book traces Ruth's ascendance as the first great media-created superstar and celebrity product endorser.
