Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kyler Hood has released another page-turner, the novella, Train Running. The story paints a colorful picture of life in India through the eyes of Mackenzie Riehl, an imaginative young woman who attends her sister’s wedding in Bombay, burdened with a terrible secret. But it’s no secret that Riehl wants the wedding to fail. But her wish quickly becomes mired in family conflict and the overwhelming squeeze of life in the city. Riehl gets some respite as a nurse on the trains and frequently paints, but she finds herself most drawn to her new job as a train runner. The illegal job fills her with a fresh joie de vivre, charm, and an unbending survivalism as she winds the tracks to fantastic places. Along the way, her choices challenge and change her so that she becomes someone she could have never imagined.
Download or read book Two Trains Running written by August Wilson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Fences and The Piano Lesson comes a “vivid and uplifting” (Time) play about unsung men and women who are anything but ordinary. August Wilson established himself as one of our most distinguished playwrights with his insightful, probing, and evocative portraits of Black America and the African American experience in the twentieth century. With the mesmerizing Two Trains Running, he crafted what Time magazine called “his most mature work to date.” It is Pittsburgh, 1969, and the regulars of Memphis Lee’s restaurant are struggling to cope with the turbulence of a world that is changing rapidly around them and fighting back when they can. The diner is scheduled to be torn down, a casualty of the city’s renovation project that is sweeping away the buildings of a community, but not its spirit. For just as sure as an inexorable future looms right around the corner, these people of “loud voices and big hearts” continue to search, to father, to persevere, to hope. With compassion, humor, and a superb sense of place and time, Wilson paints a vivid portrait of everyday lives in the shadow of great events.
Download or read book The Sunset Limited written by Cormac McCarthy and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2011-02-04 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deft, spare, and full of artful tension, The Sunset Limited is a beautifully crafted play from the legendary Cormac McCarthy, author of No Country for Old Men and Blood Meridian. 'The Sunset Limited grips from the very first page' – Financial Times A startling encounter on a New York subway platform leads two strangers to a run-down tenement where a life or death decision must be made. In that small apartment the two men, known as 'Black' and 'White', begin a conversatino that leads each back through his own history. White is a professor whose seemingly enviable existence of relative ease has left him nonetheless in despair. Black, an ex-con in recovery for drug addiction, is the more hopeful of the men. He is, however, desperate to convince White of the power of faith – while White is desperate to deny it. Between them, they hope to discover the meaning of life itself. Praise for Cormac McCarthy: ‘McCarthy worked close to some religious impulse, his books were terrifying and absolute’ – Anne Enright, author of The Green Road and The Wren, The Wren 'His prose takes on an almost biblical quality, hallucinatory in its effect and evangelical in its power' – Stephen King, author of The Shining and the Dark Tower series '[I]n presenting the darker human impulses in his rich prose, [McCarthy] showed readers the necessity of facing up to existence' – Annie Proulx, author of Brokeback Mountain
