Book excerpt: In the kill-or-be-killed criminal underworld of 1930s Los Angeles, "Two Gun Danny" Landon has a distinct disadvantage. According to the fellas, he used to pull all kinds of shoot-ups and shenanigans...but damned if he can't remember a thing from before last year, when he got hit over the head with a lead pipe. Sadistic mobster Bud Seitz -- known to friends and enemies alike as "The Kind One" -- seems to have big plans for him, but truthfully, Danny can't stomach the dirty work. His aim is off, the other wiseguys laugh at him, and he'd gladly trade in the drunken parties and the endless broads for a day at the movies with his colorful and mysterious neighbor Dulwich and eleven-year-old Sophie, whose deadbeat mother delivers an endless stream of emotional and physical abuse. But when Bud's beautiful girlfriend Darla begs Danny to help her escape the Kind One's dark, brutal world, Danny must confront a dangerous test of loyalty that could irrevocably change his future -- and his past -- forever.

Book excerpt: "There is always a surprise in the voice and in the heart of Laird Hunt's stories, with its echoes of habit caught in a timeless dialect, so we see the world he gives us as if new. 'You hear something like that and it walks out the door with you.'"--Michael Ondaatje "Laird Hunt's Kind One, about two slave girls who take their white mistress into captivity, is a profound meditation on the sexual and racial subconscious of America. . . . [A] gorgeous and terrifying novel."--Danzy Senna As a teenage girl, Ginny marries Linus Lancaster, her mother's second cousin, and moves to his Kentucky pig farm "ninety miles from nowhere." In the shadows of the lush Kentucky landscape, Ginny discovers the empty promises of Linus' "paradise"--a place where the charms of her husband fall away to reveal a troubled man and cruel slave owner. Ginny befriends the young slaves Cleome and Zinnia who work at the farm--until Linus' attentions turn to them, and she finds herself torn between her husband and only companions. The events that follow Linus' death change all three women for life. Haunting, chilling, and suspenseful, Kind One is a powerful tale of redemption and human endurance in antebellum America. Laird Hunt is the author of several works of fiction and a finalist for the 2010 PEN Center USA Award in Fiction. Currently on the faculty of the University of Denver's creative writing program, he and his wife, the poet Eleni Sikelianos, live in Boulder, Colorado, with their daughter, Eva Grace.

Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author Sandi Lynn comes a brand new brothers series you'll want to devour! Sam I made a promise not to sleep with my new personal assistant. Too late. I'd already slept with her before I knew Grayson, my human resources director, hired her. Long story short. We first met at a café when she let me have the last apple turnover. Then I saw her again that same night at a bar. She was incredibly sexy, and she wanted me as much as I wanted her. We both agreed it was a one-time thing, and she left the following day. Imagine the shock on both our faces when she showed up for work on Monday. I wasn't a relationship type of guy and for good reasons. Julia Benton had her own reasons why she wasn't looking to get involved with anyone. So, continuing our sexual relationship was a win-win for both of us. But the more time we spent together, feelings I'd never felt before started to emerge. Then things became complicated, and she quit to pursue her dreams. I knew how much it meant to her, and I didn't care. Now that I'd lost her, I wanted, no, I needed her back in my life, and I would do anything to make sure that happened. Julia He was the sexy and domineering man who wore an expensive suit. A man who cracked the hard shell I'd built around myself for the past four years. I wasn't looking for someone to save me, but Sam unintentionally did just that. Then I was given a chance to pursue my lifelong dream. He tried to stop it from happening by showing me exactly who he was. My only focus now was starting the business I'd always wanted and leave Sam behind in the trail of a disaster he created between us. The problem was: he truly was one of a kind, and I had to use every bit of strength I had to forget him. 18+

Book excerpt: Authentizität, Ehrlichkeit und Charakter – die Porträts von Donald Graham sind nicht einfach nur fotografische Aufnahmen. Man betrachtet mit ihnen gleichsam die Menschen selbst, die der Fotograf mit seiner virtuosen Technik und Sensibilität zum Vorschein bringt. Die brillanten und kontraststarken Schwarz-Weiß-Aufnahmen zeugen von Haltung statt von einstudierten Gesten. Augen und Gesichter sind keine modellhaften Masken, sondern Ausdruck des einzigartigen Wesens der Dargestellten. Unweigerlich tritt man in Dialog mit ihnen. Man fragt nach den Geschichten hinter den Mienen, die man nicht kennt, aber dennoch als Gefühl erlebt. Der prachtvolle Bildband ist die erste große Publikation dieses eindringlichen Werkes. Im aufwendigen Triplex-Verfahren reproduziert, besitzen die Fotografien auch im Druck ihre hohe Brillanz. Fast haptisch wirken die Aufnahmen auf dem Papier und bringen dieses hervorragende Œuvre zur vollen Entfaltung.

Download or read book One Kind Favor A Novel written by Kevin McIlvoy and published by Wtaw Press. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Based loosely on a tragic real-life incident in 2014, ONE KIND FAVOR explores the consequences of the lynching of a young black man in rural North Carolina. After the lynching of Lincoln Lennox is discovered and subsequently covered up in the small fictional community of Cord, North Carolina, the ghosts who frequent the all-in-one bar and consignment shop take on the responsibility of unearthing the truth and acting as the memory for the town that longs to forget and continues to hate. A reimagined Kathy Acker, the groundbreaking literary icon, engages Lincoln in a love triangle and brings a transgressive post-punk esthetic to the mission. The down-the-rabbit-hole satirical storytelling of ONE KIND FAVOR, Kevin McIlvoy's sixth novel, echoes Appalachian ghost stories in which haunting presences will, at last, have their way. "In ONE KIND FAVOR, Kevin McIlvoy crafts a novel we haven't seen before: a rare book about race and place that offers a nuanced take on the world we live in. This book feels vital for our times."--Nina McConigley "I describe Cord as 'spirit-haunted,' but is any place in America not haunted by ancestral misdeeds?"--Rion Scott Amilcar

Download or read book One of a Kind written by Adam Sparks and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental requirement in an inclusivist understanding of the relationship between Christianity and other religions is evidence of God's salvific activity outside any knowledge of Christ. This is commonly identified in the religion of Old Testament Israel. On this basis an analogy (the Israel analogy) is drawn between the religion of the old covenant and contemporary non-Christian religions. Closely related is the parallel argument that as Christ has fulfilled the Old covenant, he can also be seen as the fulfillment of other religious traditions and their scriptures. This study outlines the use of the Israel analogy and the fulfillment model, subjecting these concepts to a biblical and theological critique revealing that the exegetical and patristic data are misconstrued in support of these concepts. Furthermore, the Israel analogy and the fulfillment model undermine the sui generis relationship between the old and new covenants and fail to respect the organic, progressive nature of salvation history. They also misconstrue the old covenant and the nature of its fulfillment in the new covenant. The Israel analogy and fulfillment model rely on a correspondence between the chronologically premessianic (Israel) and the epistemologically premessianic (other religions), and therefore consider the BC condition to continue today. In so doing, they undermine the significance of the Christ-event by failing to appreciate the decisive effect of this event on history and the nature of existence. It marks a radical turn in salvation history, a crisis point, rendering the BC period complete and fulfilled. Therefore the concept of a continuing premessianic condition or state is seriously flawed, as are the Israel analogy and fulfillment model. Thus the inclusivist paradigm reliant in large part on these defective concepts is also problematic, and proponents of this paradigm need to reconsider its basis.
