Download or read book The Last Limerick written by Jane Gillette and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2010-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going home proves deadly for soap star Roger Ferris when he abandons New York and a plum television role for life as an academic in picturesque Belmont. When the cavalier actor is found stabbed to death in his luxurious condo, he leaves a string of prominent enemies, a host of suspects, and two perplexing questions. What prompted his hasty retreat from fame and fortune, and who paid for his extravagant art collection? "Jane Gillette's The Last Limerick is a tightly constructed crime novel that integrates plot and satire in its narrative about Midwestern professionals and artistic types who fall into sexual triangles (and other geometric shapes) with as much abandon as they go for each other's throats. Wheels within wheels mesh as perfectly as the inside of a Swiss watch as they turn out the story of why a highly popular TV actor suddenly quits his role to return to his hometown to teach college, a deadly decision. If the author's logical plotting is exceeded by anything, it is her deft and creative use of metaphor and simile. The reader can almost feel her delight in capturing and puncturing the pretentiousness of her more self-important characters." - Roger Miller, author of Invisible Hero

Download or read book A Confederacy of Dumptys written by John Lithgow and published by Chronicle Books. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The next book in John Lithgow's New York Times bestselling series Following the success of New York Times bestsellers Dumpty and Trumpty Dumpty Wanted a Crown, award-winning actor, author, and illustrator John Lithgow presents the third book in his runaway hit series. A Confederacy of Dumptys takes us through a history of twenty-five "American Scoundrels" in this all-new collection of Lithgow's satirical poems and illustrations. While the Trump Era was rife with corruption and abuse of power, it was nothing new. Through Lithgow's cutting humor, you will read about a rogues' gallery of villains that came before Donald J. Trump, powerful men and women who were corrupt, venal, criminal, adulterous, racist, or just plain disgusting. With dark and lyrical stories from across American history, you will learn about long-forgotten figures and bad actors of today, including the first Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, the perpetrator of 19th century women's pyramid schemes, and participants in both the Watergate scandal and the Capitol insurrection. Trump and Nixon show up, of course, but also Leona Helmsley, Boss Tweed, Typhoid Mary, Newt Gingrich, Ted Cruz, and many more. Skipping through time, and delivered with classic Lithgow wit and style, A Confederacy of Dumptys is an exuberant reminder of how not to repeat history. Digital audio edition read by the author. The perfect book for: • Political satire fans—viewers of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. • American history buffs and trivia enthusiasts—readers of Jon's Stewart's America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction and Josh Clark's Stuff You Should Know: An Incomplete Compendium of Mostly Interesting Things. • Poetry, art, and illustration aficionados.
