Book excerpt: There's a lot going on from Charlotte to Miami to San Francisco -- almost none of it favorable to Tommy 'Fatboy' Dupree. While one man is sleeping around with Tommy's live-in girlfriend, another urges a psychopath to rob him for multiple kilos. These men are...his friends...which means the worst is yet to come. Alicia Anderson's beauty is off the scales. The physically fit college student has a father who is a real estate mogul, so she could care less about a 'fat boy' named Tommy who deals drugs. However, this new woman challenges him to give up the illicit profession and invest everything in a California real estate venture. Their serious love affair is overshadowed by his inability to hustle up enough money to walk away from the game. And although Fatboy has a few tricks in store for all his backstabbing friends, the DEA has plans to throw a nasty twist in his story. But Fatboy has even saved one last trick for the feds. This URBAN SUSPENSE threatens to brind the underground to the surface.

Download or read book The Outward Room written by Millen Brand and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2010-10-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Outward Room is a book about a young woman’s journey from madness to self-discovery. It created a sensation when it was first published in 1937, and has lost none of its immediacy or its power to move the reader. Having suffered a nervous breakdown after her brother’s death in a car accident, Harriet Demuth is committed to a mental hospital, but her doctor’s Freudian nostrums do little to make her well. Convinced that she and she alone can refashion her life, Harriet makes a daring escape from the hospital—hopping a train by night and riding the rails into the vastness of New York City in the light of the rising sun. It is the middle of the Great Depression, and at first Harriet is lost among the city’s anonymous multitudes. She pawns her jewelry and lives an increasingly hand-to-mouth existence until she meets John, a machine-shop worker. Slowly Harriet begins to recover her sense of self; slowly she and John begin to fall in love. The story of that emerging love, told with the lyricism of Virginia Woolf and the realism of Theodore Dreiser, is the heart of Millen Brand’s remarkable book.
