Download or read book The Dead Fish Museum written by Charles D'Ambrosio and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “In the fall, I went for walks and brought home bones. The best bones weren’t on trails—deer and moose don’t die conveniently—and soon I was wandering so far into the woods that I needed a map and compass to find my way home. When winter came and snow blew into the mountains, burying the bones, I continued to spend my days and often my nights in the woods. I vaguely understood that I was doing this because I could no longer think; I found relief in walking up hills. When the night temperatures dropped below zero, I felt visited by necessity, a baseline purpose, and I walked for miles, my only objective to remain upright, keep moving, preserve warmth. When I was lost, I told myself stories . . .” So Charles D’Ambrosio recounted his life in Philipsburg, Montana, the genesis of the brilliant stories collected here, six of which originally appeared in The New Yorker. Each of these eight burnished, terrifying, masterfully crafted stories is set against a landscape that is both deeply American and unmistakably universal. A son confronts his father’s madness and his own hunger for connection on a misguided hike in the Pacific Northwest. A screenwriter fights for his sanity in the bleak corridors of a Manhattan psych ward while lusting after a ballerina who sets herself ablaze. A Thanksgiving hunting trip in Northern Michigan becomes the scene of a haunting reckoning with marital infidelity and desperation. And in the magnificent title story, carpenters building sets for a porn movie drift dreamily beneath a surface of sexual tension toward a racial violence they will never fully comprehend. Taking place in remote cabins, asylums, Indian reservations, the backloads of Iowa and the streets of Seattle, this collection of stories, as muscular and challenging as the best novels, is about people who have been orphaned, who have lost connection, and who have exhausted the ability to generate meaning in their lives. Yet in the midst of lacerating difficulty, the sensibility at work in these fictions boldly insists on the enduring power of love. D’Ambrosio conjures a world that is fearfully inhospitable, darkly humorous, and touched by glory; here are characters, tested by every kind of failure, who struggle to remain human, whose lives have been sharpened rather than numbed by adversity, whose apprehension of truth and beauty has been deepened rather than defeated by their troubles. Many writers speak of the abyss. Charles D’Ambrosio writes as if he is inside of it, gazing upward, and the gaze itself is redemptive, a great yearning ache, poignant and wondrous, equal parts grit and grace. A must read for everyone who cares about literary writing, The Dead Fish Museum belongs on the same shelf with the best American short fiction.
Download or read book Hyperbole and a Half written by Allie Brosh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

Book excerpt: You can't escape your past, no matter how fast you run. Boomer thought he'd done it. Thought he'd left behind misery, abuse, and the terrible secrets of his childhood, but he was wrong. When Jiffy, his oldest friend, walks back into his life after two decades, the horror of their past comes with him. Returning to a hell they'd barely escaped is the last thing either wants, but the weight of thirty dead girls will drive the friends into realms of memory and pain they'd prayed to never visit again. Mystery, murder, and magic dwell beneath the waters of the sleepy lake-shore town they grew up in and only Boomer and Jiff know where it all began. They know it started with two lonely, broken, nine-year-old boys, and know they have to stop what they put in motion before even more children die. You can't escape the past but maybe, just maybe, you can face it with a friend.

Download or read book Freaked Out written by Max Frances and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anxious? Perplexed? Even terrified? You should be. The UK feels in terminal descent and we are all aboard the roller-coaster and screaming. We've gone 'post-fact' where emotion and bluster determine decisions and rationales. Ability and facts just don't matter. So, if you're a discerning person, you're going to feel confounded. But help is at hand. Max Frances, author of 'Flypaper for Freaks' and 'Freaking Hired!' is once again on the case, and this time it's everything from the mundane to the nationally critical that he's captured, and it's no holds barred. 'Freaked Out' is a collection of snapshots of society and Frances' insight into an ever-vacuous UK with seemingly no plan B. But the truth is that corners were being mercilessly cut well in the past, and the slide has been a long time coming. From everyday activities like shopping to the generation-changing decisions like Brexit, we're cocking it up. And our opposition to problems is just as shambolic, which makes the situation beyond worse. Yet many are simply sitting there sucking it all up. Acceptance and apathy - or a combination of both - have become the most egregious attitudes of the most recent decade. Bollocks to that. In true Frances style, the devil is in the detail, and the greatest facilitators of chicanery are exposed as empty rationales and the blind acceptance of them. For Max, it's the bread and butter of shysters when we fail to question the basics. We've exceeded all our previously held red lines to the extent that we are now freaked out in every sense of the term. Even the freaks don't know which way to turn. 'Freaked Out' is a collection of readable and entertaining commentaries that will tickle not only your fancy but also your enthusiasm for change. But everybody needs to stop accepting. Start fighting back, even if that means winning a few smaller battles that stick it up 'em. Crowds are for entertainment and spectacles, not for sound judgment and decision-making. Follow them at your peril. Only dead fish go with the flow. Keep attacking and get 'Freaked Out' now to take your first steps to salvation.

Download or read book Secrets in a Dead Fish written by Melanie King and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did German intelligence agents in the First World War use dead fish to pass on vital information to their operatives? What did an advertisement for a dog in The Times have to do with the movement of British troops into Egypt? And why did British personnel become suspicious about the trousers hanging on a Belgian woman's washing line?During the First World War, spymasters and their networks of secret agents developed many ingenious - and occasionally hilarious - methods of communication. Puffs of smoke from a chimney, stacks of bread in a bakery window, even knitted woollen jumpers were all used to convey secret messages decipherable only by well-trained eyes.Melanie King retells the astonishing story of these and many other tricks of the espionage trade, now long forgotten, through the memoirs of eight spies. Among them are British intelligence officers working undercover in France and Germany, including a former officer from the Metropolitan Police who once hunted Jack the Ripper. There is also the German Secret Service officer, codenamed Agricola, who spied on the Eastern Front, an American newspaperman and an Austrian agent who disguised himself as everything from a Jewish pedlar to a Russian officer.Drawing on the words of many of the spies themselves, Secrets in a Dead Fish is a fascinating compendium of clever and original ruses that casts new light into the murky world of espionage during the First World War.
