Download or read book Brother written by David Chariandy and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-07-31 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A brilliant, powerful elegy from a living brother to a lost one, yet pulsing with rhythm, and beating with life." --Marlon James "Highly recommend Brother by David Chariandy--concise and intense, elegiac short novel of devastation and hope." --Joyce Carol Oates, via Twitter WINNER--Toronto Book Award WINNER--Rogers' Writers' Trust Fiction Prize WINNER--Ethel Wilson Prize for Fiction In luminous, incisive prose, a startling new literary talent explores masculinity, race, and sexuality against a backdrop of simmering violence during the summer of 1991. One sweltering summer in the Park, a housing complex outside of Toronto, Michael and Francis are coming of age and learning to stomach the careless prejudices and low expectations that confront them as young men of black and brown ancestry. While their Trinidadian single mother works double, sometimes triple shifts so her boys might fulfill the elusive promise of their adopted home, Francis helps the days pass by inventing games and challenges, bringing Michael to his crew's barbershop hangout, and leading escapes into the cool air of the Rouge Valley, a scar of green wilderness where they are free to imagine better lives for themselves. Propelled by the beats and styles of hip hop, Francis dreams of a future in music. Michael's dreams are of Aisha, the smartest girl in their high school whose own eyes are firmly set on a life elsewhere. But the bright hopes of all three are violently, irrevocably thwarted by a tragic shooting, and the police crackdown and suffocating suspicion that follow. Honest and insightful in its portrayal of kinship, community, and lives cut short, David Chariandy's Brother is an emotional tour de force that marks the arrival of a stunning new literary voice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the very early days of the Franciscan Order, Brother Leo, a priest of Assisi, joined Francis of Assisi and became his close companion. Brother Leo, often performing the duties of a secretary, would offer Mass for those of the group who, like Francis, were not ordained to the priesthood. Along with two other early friars, Leo is believed to have written a collection of accounts of their experiences with Francis. Brother Leo Remembers Francis is a fictionalized tale of life with Francis, presenting events that might have happened and words that might have been spoken -- and a Francis that might have been. This book is a companion to The Autumn of Saint Francis of Assisi, also by Roderic Petrie, O.F.M. Father Roderic, himself an itinerant preacher, takes us on a journey through the Italian towns and hills where Francis and Leo lived and walked. Through the voice of Brother Leo we come to know how Francis was called to rebuild the Church, how he created the first Christmas crib at Greccio and how he received the stigmata, the imprint of Jesus Christ's wounds.
