Download or read book Loudermilk written by Lucy Ives and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice, is "hilarious . . . a riotous success. Equal parts campus novel, buddy comedy and meditation on art-making under late capitalism, the novel is a hugely funny portrait of an egomaniac and his nebbish best friend" (The Washington Post). It’s the end of summer 2003. George W. Bush has recently declared the mission in Iraq accomplished, the unemployment rate is at its highest in years, and Martha Stewart has just been indicted for insider trading. Meanwhile, somewhere in the Midwest, Troy Augustus Loudermilk (fair-haired, statuesque, charismatic) and his companion Harry Rego (definitely none of those things) step out of a silver Land Cruiser and onto the campus of The Seminars, America’s most prestigious creative writing program, to which Loudermilk has recently been accepted for his excellence in poetry. Loudermilk, however, has never written a poem in his life. Wickedly entertaining, beguiling, layered, and sly, Loudermilk is a social novel for our time: a comedy of errors that deftly examines class, gender, and inheritance, and subverts our pieties about literature, authorship, art making, and the institutions that sustain them.

A book written while I was going through the process of trying to understand how I got to a point in my life where I finally fled a long, severely abusive relationship. To be able to free myself from it and move on, I wrote my journals on Facebook and eventually, my journals were created into this book. I hope it helps not just victims of abuse but also brings awareness to those who have never understood why victims stay. Book two will be the process following the fleeing of abuse and the entering into the criminal charges and the family law tactics to be aware of, avoid or fight against. Always keep fighting to live your life, free from abuse, forever.So many ways we all play a part in the abuse towards others and towards ourselves. So many ways we allow ourselves to be abused as we allow others to be abused. We are all conditioned for it from the time we start school to the day we die.So many asked me, "How does this happen to someone like you?!". Hopefully this book explains it.
