Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Vitelli, age 25, scion of a successful manufacturer of pizza: The Perfetto Pizza Company of Milwaukee, is deputized by his father to introduce the fast food pizza to Italy beginning in Naples. He is in charge of six huge refrigerated containers of pizza dough, and thousands of frozen individual pizza pie samples stowed in the refrigerated hold of a freighter whose direct port of call is Naples. On landing, Mark is greeted by Katerina Smith, a rep of the Wall Street underwriter of this enterprise. The proposal meets with violent opposition by two groups: The Anti-Blue Sky (anti cielo azzurro) movement that wishes to violently disassociate Naples from folklore kitsch and emblematic buffoonery of the pizza mystique. Their manifesto reads radically like that of the once Italian Futurists, the Anti-Blue Sky wish is to drag Naples into the 21st Century, an example: that the Sorrentine Peninsula be turned into a Silicon Valley, etc. Another group objecting is the Slow Food Movement against fast food emporiums, especially shoddy pizza palaces in the environs of Naples, and the cielo azzurro Pro-Blue Sky is championing the ancestral culture and charms of Naples. Mark, after many hilarious tries is blocked which leaves him footloose in Italy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the USA Today bestselling author of When We Were Strangers and Swimming in the Moon comes a lush, exquisitely drawn novel set against the turmoil of the Great War, as a young German-American woman explores the secrets of her past. A shopkeeper’s daughter, Hazel Renner lives in the shadows of the Pittsburgh steel mills. She dreams of adventure, even as her immigrant parents push her toward a staid career. But in 1914, war seizes Europe and all their ambitions crumble. German-Americans are suddenly the enemy, “the Huns.” Hazel herself is an outsider in her own home when she learns the truth of her birth. Desperate for escape, Hazel takes a teaching job in a seemingly tranquil farming community. But the idyll is cracked when she acquires a mysterious healing power—a gift that becomes a curse as the locals’ relentless demand for “miracles” leads to tragedy. Hazel, determined to find answers, traces her own history back to a modern-day castle that could hold the truth about her past. There Hazel befriends the exiled, enigmatic German baron and forges a bond with the young gardener, Tom. But as America is shattered by war and Tom returns battered by shell-shock, Hazel’s healing talents alone will not be enough to protect those close to her, or to safeguard her dreams of love and belonging. She must reach inside to discover that sometimes the truth is not so far away, that the simplest of things can lead to the extraordinary. Filled with rich historical details and intriguing, fully realized characters, Under the Same Blue Sky is the captivating story of one woman’s emergence into adulthood amid the tumult of war.

Download or read book Thoughts on Driving to Venus written by Christopher Pratt and published by The Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Painter and printmaker Christopher Pratt is known for luminous, meticulous images of Atlantic-coast settings. Strongly influenced by the culture and landscape of Newfoundland, Pratt’s still, crystal-clear images of archetypal island life convey more than landscape. They are richly imagined, almost hyperreal depictions of the land, imbued with memory and meaning. Thoughts on Driving to Venus allows readers an unprecedented glimpse inside Pratt’s mind as he journeys through the Newfoundland countryside. Originally intended for sketches that would later assist in his painting and printmaking, Pratt’s aptly named "Car Books" document numerous road trips he and his wife, Jeanette, took from the late 1990s to the present. The diary-like entries provide an overview of the artist’s stream-of-consciousness impressions, journalistic accounts and personal reflections during these trips. Some passages record the effects of colour, light and shadow on a scene—what he refers to as "sketches"; some delve into personal recollections conjured by the landscapes seen through the windshield; others are reflections on his complex emotional ties to his homeland. The result is an intimate portrait of the creative process and realms of the imagination of one of Canada’s most important contemporary artists.
