Download or read book Upfronts The Road Narrows As You Go written by Lee Henderson and published by Penguin Canada. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All Wendy Ashbubble has ever wanted is to draw comics as well as Charles Schultz’s Peanuts—and to one day see her creations grace the pages of a major daily newspaper. Growing up in Victoria in the 1970s, Wendy dreams of getting out, getting away … and getting recognition for her talent. And there’s another, never-whispered motivation that prompts her to seek her fortune: a deeply buried memory and unshakeable belief that her unknown father is Ronald Reagan, the fortieth president of the United States. A chance meeting in Victoria with an attractive-but-mysterious travelling artist inspires Wendy to take the plunge, and she runs away to live in a dilapidated artists’ commune in San Francisco. There, amid the haze of top-quality weed, unbridled creativity, and unfettered sex, her dream begins to take tangible shape. With the aid of Frank Fleecen, an up-and-coming bonds trader and agent, Wendy’s Strays are soon competing for newsprint space against the likes of Berkeley Breathed, Jim Davis, and Bill Watterston … even against Wendy’s beloved Charles Schultz himself. But there are darker shades on the pencilled horizon: the spectre of AIDS, unexplained disappearances, bad therapy, junk bonds, demonology, and SEC agents investigating Frank’s business protocols. The Road Narrows As You Go is simultaneously the portrait of a young woman struggling to find her place and a bright, rollicking, unflinching depiction of the 1980s. It embodies all the brash optimism and ruthless amoralism of the decade, as well as its preoccupation with repressed memories, and fully captures the flavour of an uncertain but deeply vibrant era.

Download or read book Asura Tale of the Vanquished written by Anand Neelakantan and published by One Point Six Technology Pvt Ltd. This book was released on 2012-04-12 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epic tale of victory and defeat... The story of the Ramayana had been told innumerable times. The enthralling story of Rama, the incarnation of God, who slew Ravana, the evil demon of darkness, is known to every Indian. And in the pages of history, as always, it is the version told by the victors, that lives on. The voice of the vanquished remains lost in silence. But what if Ravana and his people had a different story to tell? The story of the Ravanayana had never been told. Asura is the epic tale of the vanquished Asura people, a story that has been cherished by the oppressed outcastes of India for 3000 years. Until now, no Asura has dared to tell the tale. But perhaps the time has come for the dead and the defeated to speak. "For thousands of years, I have been vilified and my death is celebrated year after year in every corner of India. Why? Was it because I challenged the Gods for the sake of my daughter? Was it because I freed a race from the yoke of caste-based Deva rule? You have heard the victor's tale, the Ramayana. Now hear the Ravanayana, for I am Ravana, the Asura, and my story is the tale of the vanquished." "I am a non-entity-invisible, powerless and negligible. No epics will ever be written about me. I have suffered both Ravana and Rama - the hero and the villain or the villain and the hero. When the stories of great men are told, my voice maybe too feeble to be heard. Yet, spare me a moment and hear my story, for I am Bhadra, the Asura, and my life is the tale of the loser." The ancient Asura empire lay shattered into many warring petty kingdoms reeling under the heel of the Devas. In desperation, the Asuras look up to a young saviour-Ravana. Believing that a better world awaits them under Ravana, common men like Bhadra decide to follow the young leader. With a will of iron and a fiery ambition to succeed, Ravana leads his people from victory to victory and carves out a vast empire from the Devas. But even when Ravana succeeds spectacularly, the poor Asuras find that nothing much has changed for them. It is when that Ravana, by one action, changes the history of the world.

Download or read book Zero Chance written by Mocha VonBee and published by Indie Ink. This book was released on 2023-04-18 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love or Music… Which should they choose and what price do they have to pay? If bad boy, Mac Whitehead believed in ancient legends, he’d know exactly what to choose, no matter the cost… Meanwhile, despite hot rockstar looks and a raspy voice, nothing is going his way. Mac blames Tully for his run of bad luck. And he’s convinced Kit is the solution to all his problems. But Mac has never paid any attention to Kit before, not even when she had a crush on him. She knows it can mean only one thing. He wants something. But what could possibly persuade Kit to help arch-enemy, Mac Whitehead? What Early Readers Say… Reading Mac's story— I feel like I understand him better now. Despite how poorly Mac treats and uses the people around him— this book has added a lot of emotional complexity to his character. It was great to see the other characters again! It felt like visiting with old friends. I applaud Mocha's ability to help us better understand Mac and to comprehend his personal struggles despite his terrible behavior and very flawed characteristics as a person. I highly recommend this book and series! (Goodreads Review) Another winner in the Kit and Tully series, it was a strong fourth book in this series. I enjoyed the previous three books and this was just as good. (NetGalley Review) The story was brilliant with a great mix of characters and short enough to read in one sitting. I loved this book as much as the other 3 books in the series and really look forward to reading more by Mocha. (Goodreads Review) This short book is an interesting insight into the Kit and Tully universe. I haven't read the other books in the series, but this one can be read as a standalone story. (Goodreads Review) As with the rest of this series so far, I absolutely loved this one! While I'm still not a particularly big Mac fan, I did love getting a short stay inside his head, seeing what he thought of everything. I think I loved this one even more than the last one and I'm looking forward to seeing how the next one goes and whose side we get to hear it from. (Goodreads Review) We are back in the Kit and Tully world and boy was I glad to be back, even though we were following my least favorite character Mac. He has rock star personality but does not want to put in the work to be a rock star. I can't wait to see how this series goes though, I will definitely be keeping an eye out for the next book. (Goodreads Review)
