Download or read book Lucking Out written by James Wolcott and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2012-10-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From one of our most admired (and feared) cultural critics, a memoir that captures all the gritty, grubby glamour of New York in the awful/wonderful Seventies. In the autumn of 1972, a very young and green James Wolcott arrived in New York from Maryland, full of literary dreams, equipped with a letter of introduction from Norman Mailer, and having no idea what was about to hit him. Landing at a time of accelerating municipal squalor and, paradoxically, gathering cultural energy in all spheres as "Downtown" became a category of art and life unto itself, he embarked upon his sentimental education, seventies New York style. This portrait of a critic as a young man is also a rollicking, acutely observant portrait of a legendary time and place. Mixing grit and glitter in just the right proportions, suffused with affection for the talented and sometimes half-crazed denizens of the scene, it will make readers long for a time when you really could get mugged around here.

Download or read book Healing written by Theresa Brown and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2022-04-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Deeply moving." --Damon Tweedy, New York Times bestselling author of Black Man in a White Coat New York Times bestselling author Theresa Brown tells a poignant, powerful, and intensely personal story about breast cancer. She brings us along with her from the mammogram that would change her life through her diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. Despite her training and years of experience as an oncology and hospice nurse, she finds herself continually surprised by the lack of compassion in the medical maze--just as so many of us have. Why is she expected to wait over a long weekend to hear the results of her cancer tests if they are ready? Where is the empathy from caregivers? Why is she so often left in the dark about procedures and treatments? At times she's mad at herself for not speaking up and asking for what she needs but knows that being labeled a "difficult" patient could mean she gets worse care. As she did in her book The Shift, Brown draws us into her work with the unforgettable details of her daily life--the needles, the chemo drugs, the rubber gloves, the frustrated patients--but from her new perch as a patient, she also takes a look back with rare candor at some of her own cases as a nurse and considers what she didn't know then and what she could have done better. A must-read for fans of Atul Gawande's Being Mortal, Suleika Jaouad's Between Two Kingdoms, and all of us who have tried to find healing through our health-care system.
