Download or read book The Big Midget Murders written by Craig Rice and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s murder backstage for a cynical Chicago attorney—from “the Dorothy Parker of detective fiction” (William Ruehlmann). It’s part casino, part nightclub, and part circus. For its new owners, Jake Justus and his socialite wife, Helene, it’s also a gamble. Luckily they have Jay Otto. Next to a bouncy burlesque bit, Otto’s high-wire act is the hottest draw in the joint. But the crowd isn’t the only thing left breathless. The performer has just been found in his dressing room, doped up, dead, and hanging by eleven silk stockings. The method is fetching. The probable motive? Otto was the nastiest, most hateful, devious, blackmailing little cuss on the circuit. But Jake’s friend, attorney John J. Malone, thinks this is more than a case of justifiable homicide—especially when Otto isn’t the last on the bill to get all choked up. Now Malone has a lot of secrets to untangle so he can collar the killer, because Jake and Helene’s necks could be next on the line. The Big Midget Murders is “expertly timed . . . and frenzied . . . with lavish accompaniment of good wise-cracking. Verdict: Superior” (TheSaturday Review of Literature). “Call it screwball noir, call it hard-boiled farce, call it whatever you want . . . Craig Rice did it with John J. Malone, her ne-er-do-well bibulous attorney” (Thrilling Detective).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The novel Midget ( Symphony of the Ocean ) is touching some of the most important modern topics - the places of handicapped and mentally ill people in today's society. It contains ever-living values and ideas of good and evil, talent and mediocrity, love and hatred, purity and foul, honesty and lies, willpower and weakness, hypocrisy and truth, punishment and crime. The genius composer, Jim Bogat, is a midget severely handicapped from birth. After death of his adoptive mother, he ends up accidentally in a group home for mentally ill people. Being the only one person in the house who is in his right mind, he started noticing very strange things that are going on around. The owner of the group home, Mona Lainer, uses a compulsion to pull naive and inexperienced Jim into a sexual relationship, trying to prevent his 'investigative mind' from discovering her dangerous secrets. Noticing Jim's super talent in composing music, Mona is stealing page-by-page the main creature of his life - Symphony of the Ocean, scheming to present her daughter as a genius composer and make her rich and famous. However, those are only the smallest of the crimes and abuses which are happening with all the residents of the group home. There is hidden much more... The young Ukrainian immigrant, Lada, the sister of a symphony orchestra conductor, got involved in Jim's investigation and also in his almost impossible task - to find his birth parents. The tragic story of a famous rock stars family appeared on the way of Jim and Lada and unexpectedly helps them to organize the concert of Jim's dreams and to perform his symphony. But will they survive the green-eyed jealous Monster, following on their steps? What's happening with the group home mentally challenged residents - in the forest, 100 km away from the city while in the concert hall Jim's symphony is playing? Will they survive unexpected horrible disaster? Or will the world collapse for Jim and Lada in the hour of the triumphal performance of his Symphony of the Ocean?

Download or read book The Dwarf written by Cho Se-hŭi and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2006-08-31 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dark side of South Korea’s "economic miracle" emerges in The Dwarf, Cho Se-hui’s enormously popular and critically acclaimed work. First published in 1978, it speaks to the painful social costs of reckless industrialization, even as it tellingly portrays the spiritual malaise of the newly rich and powerful and a working class subject to forces beyond its control. Cho’s lean, clipped, deceptively simple style, the rapidly shifting points of view, terse dialogue, and subtle irony evoke the particularities of life in 1970s South Korea in the presence of global economic forces. The desperate realities of life for the dwarf, the proverbial little guy upon whose back Korea’s economic transformation largely took place, are emotively rendered in twelve linked stories examining the lives of a laboring family, a family of the newly emerging middle class, and that of a wealthy industrialist. The stories have overlapping characters and situations: the murder of a swindler, a family’s eviction from a squatter settlement, the assassination of an important executive, the dwarf ’s fantasy of a planet where life is easier, his later suicide and the subsequent fate of his dispersed friends and family members.
Download or read book Dwarf written by Tiffanie DiDonato and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “It's okay with me if you picked up this book because you're curious about what it's like to live with dwarfism. But I hope that you'll take away much more—about adapting to the world when it won't adapt to you.”—from Dwarf A memoir of grit and transformation for anyone who has been told something was impossible and then went on to do it anyway. Tiffanie DiDonato was born with dwarfism. Her limbs were so short that she was not able to reach her own ears. She was also born with a serious case of optimism. She decided to undergo a series of painful bone-lengthening surgeries that gave her an unprecedented 14 inches of height—and the independence she never thought she’d have. After her surgeries, Tiffanie was able to learn to drive, to live in the dorms during college, and to lead a normal life. She even made time to volunteer, writing to troops stationed abroad, and one of those Marine pen pals ultimately became her husband. Dwarf is a moving and, at times, funny testament to the power of sheer determination, and has been compared to Andrew Solomon's Far From the Tree.
