Download or read book Two Memoirs written by Amanda Montei and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-18 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FULL COLOR ILLUSTRATED EDITION "Amanda Montei deftly evokes the splendors and miseries of her childhood in LA, a fabulous country of the mind, a land unlike any other.The riches to rags narrative she offers breaks your heart at a hundred intersections; it is a story populated by the demonic energies of family and school life, polished and broken into shards of crystal... With relentless subconscious force Montei's genealogy slams against her personal life story, creating a stunning reverb effect." -Dodie Bellamy, author of The TV Sutras and The Letters of Mina Harker "In this deft, funny, sad, and strong memoir, Amanda Montei shows a remarkable skill for zooming in on the hilarious, unbearable, sometimes heartbreaking detail (watch for the polyps ), then panning out to give a memorable portrait of a time and place (Los Angeles in the 80s and 90s, with all its deceptive, and sometimes real, glamour). It's as much discovery narrative as recovery narrative, as its author explores the deep mysteries of both mothers and memory with a wry and steady hand." -Maggie Nelson, author of"Bluets, The Argonauts"and"The Red Parts" "A daughter gives birth to her mother's voice and finds her own in this remarkable bifurcated narrative. Set against a backdrop of fading Hollywood glory, Two Memoirsportrays two lives, two eras, two equally compelling stories, deeply interwoven and powerfully rendered in Amanda Montei's clear-eyed, strong-hearted and revealing prose." -Janet Sarbanes, author of "Army of One" Two Memoirs is a biography of a mother, an autobiography of a daughter, a story about being a girl in Los Angeles-but also a conversation, an argument, an elegy, a letter, a manuscript at an impasse, and a search for an archive of memory that can never be found."

Download or read book Available Time written by J. C. De Ladurantey and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2022-03-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new media jaded the public's views of law enforcement across the country. Granted, police work is not always pretty, but with over 200,000 law enforcement officers having an average of ten contacts per day (and many with more), the views that are being presented are not fair and balanced. That is not law enforcement in the majority of communities. Readers can still get excited about a cop thriller and the suspense of cases without being dragged into the abyss of brutality, racism and antagonizm or even excessive force.
