Book excerpt: Kate was an aging baby boomer fully entrenched in mid-life crisis. Educated, literary, kids off to college and beyond, newly divorced, and no longer affluent. Suddenly isolated after a lifetime of steadfastly playing a role that wasn't her. So she reluctantly posted an invite on a social networking website in an attempt to find others who were also missing something out of life. Five strangers responded, and they began to gather each week at a bar in Harvard Square, eventually sharing the secrets of their dispirited lives and attempting to play therapist for one another. The Missing Something Club is their unusual story. An incredibly beautiful and confused mother of three young children who could not escape the guilt of having misled an unsuspecting husband she wasn't certain she ever loved. A beguiling but adrift young man not much older than Kate's own sons, who, as a result of so many unfortunate events in his brief life, lived to meaninglessly hook up with women he hardly knew. A too often disregarded pharmacist (a consequence of her large size), who yearned for her first real romance but who had little concept for how to attract or interact with men. A man they nicknamed Wallflower with a dysfunctional home life that would be nearly impossible to replicate. The root of the group's eventual magic, however, was an eighty-two year old MIT engineer who peculiarly projected the number of days that remained his life. And who painted the women in the group nude to help them better understand who they really were. Who taught them that you can't force relationships. And with whom Kate was trying so very hard not to fall in love. Together they established a set of rules for their gatherings and then proceeded over the next nine months to break them one by one. Emboldened by their unfamiliarity and too much alcohol, they contemplated relationships, sex, love, parenting, and mortality. Their collective evolution was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. It was the most incredible experience of her life.

Download or read book Master of the Midcentury written by Catherine Cody and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master of the Midcentury: The Architecture of William F. Cody is the first, long-overdue book on this key Palm Springs architect, abundantly illustrated and detailed. Of the architects who made Palm Springs a crucible of midcentury American modernism, William F. Cody (1916-1978) was one of the most prolific, diverse, and iconic. Directing a practice ranging from residences to commercial centers and industrial complexes to master plans, Cody's designs are so recognizable that they provide visual shorthand for what is widely hailed as "Desert Modern." While his architecture was disciplined and technically innovative, Cody did not practice an austere modernism; he imbued in his projects a love for social spaces, rich with patterns, texture, color, and art. Though the majority of Cody's built work was concentrated in California and Arizona, he had commissions in other western states, Hawaii, Mexico, Honduras, and Cuba. From icons like the Del Marcos Hotel (1946), to inventive country clubs like the Eldorado (1957), to houses for celebrities (Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Walt Disney), Cody's projects defined the emerging West Coast lifestyle that combined luxury, leisure, and experimental design. Cody also pushed the boundaries of engineering, with beams and roof slabs so thin that his buildings seemed to defy gravity. Master of the Midcentury is the first monograph devoted to Cody, authored by the team that curated the acclaimed exhibition Fast Forward: The Architecture of William F. Cody at the Architecture and Design Museum in Los Angeles: his daughter, Cathy Cody, design historian Jo Lauria, and architectural historian Don Choi. Replete with photographs of extant and now-lost structures, as well as masterful color renderings and drawings for architectural commissions and plans for vanguard building systems, Master of the Midcentury is the authoritative resource on Cody.

Book excerpt: On his last night, the great man is compelled to tell the true story of his life to his friend and manservant, Bobby, including the unsavory bits history books will gloss over. Franklin knows he has only one night to atone for his sins. He has come to abhor slavery and offers to free Bobby, who hesitates, fearing the outside world. Bobby wants to know how his master rose from obscurity to wealth and fame. "Read my book," (his autobiography) Franklin tells him. "What's not in the book?" Bobby asks, unleashing the story of the unknown Benjamin Franklin. Franklin unfurls a sprawling saga of intrigue, romance, epic battles, love and loss. Bobby learns why Franklin never married his common-law wife, Deborah, or Margaret Stevenson, with whom he lived in London for fifteen years. Franklin tells a story fraught with illegitimate offspring, fathered by himself, his son, and his grandson. Who was the mother of his own bastard son, William? It is a confidence Bobby will take to his grave. Franklin's towering achievements in science and diplomacy are sullied by his tragic relationship with his son. Too long oblivious to William's treachery, he keeps him by his side as William weaves a pattern of betrayal and eventual treason. In a final meeting at Southampton, William begs his father for reconciliation and forgiveness, which Franklin fails to grant. Bobby's decision to accept Franklin's offer of freedom, only moments before Franklin succumbs, leads "Dear Ben" to a surprising conclusion.
