Download or read book You Made Me Love You written by John Edgar Wideman and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful and “stunning” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) selection of the best of John Edgar Wideman’s short stories over his fifty-year career, representing the wide range of his intellectual and artistic pursuits. When John Edgar Wideman won the PEN Malamud Award in 2019, he joined a list of esteemed writers—from Eudora Welty to George Saunders—all of whom are acknowledged masters of the short story. Wideman’s commitment to short fiction has been lifelong, and here he gathers a representative selection from throughout his career, stories that “have a wary, brooding spirit, a lonely intelligence…[and] air the problem of consciousness, including the fragile contingency of our existence” (The New York Times). Wideman’s stories are grounded in the streets and the people of Homewood, the Pittsburgh neighborhood of his childhood, but they range far beyond there, to the small western towns of Wyoming and historic Philadelphia, the contemporary world and the ancient past. He explores the interior lives of his characters, and the external pressures that shape them. These stories are as intellectually intricate as they are rich with the language and character. “Wideman has been compared to William Faulkner and James Baldwin…[these] prove that he is every bit as masterful a cartographer of the American spirit as his forebears" (Esquire). Comprised of thirty-five stories drawn from past collections (American Histories, Briefs, God’s Gym, All Stories Are True, Fever, and Damballah), and an introductory essay by the National Book Critics Circle board member and scholar Walton Muyumba, this volume of Wideman’s selected stories celebrates the lifelong significance of this major American writer’s essential contribution to a form—illuminating the ways that he has made it his own. “If there were any doubts Wideman belongs to the American canon, this puts them to bed” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Download or read book The House of Charles Swinter written by James Ward and published by Cool Millennium. This book was released on 2019-08-26 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the world is bursting with prospective life-partners, how can two young people, thousands of miles apart on different continents, possibly be the only ones who are right for each other? Well, sometimes… they just can. “While not normally a book I would choose, I couldn’t put it down. Didn’t sleep much. Kept reading. Couldn’t stop.” - Leslie O’Brien, CEO Goldenwest Editing, California Charles Swinter is eighty, fabulously wealthy and, since the sudden death of his estranged wife, Vivienne, seemingly on top of the world. It’s time to go abroad in search of true love. Anticipating the disapproval of his friends, he covers his tracks in England before departing. It’s none of their business, after all, and no one knows what’s good for him like he does. He quickly locates what he considers the ideal woman. Nongnuch Kitkailart: beautiful, intelligent, desperately poor, pragmatic enough to be highly biddable, and fifty years his junior. Unfortunately, back in England, people become concerned at his prolonged absence. The police are duly informed, but one particularly close friend, Edward Grant, decides to track him down in person. Edward is everything Charles is not. Young, good-looking, morally perceptive, loyal, capable of deep and genuine attachment to another human being. And suddenly – predictably - both are in love with the same woman. Yet what happens next isn’t so straightforward. No one’s reckoned with the demands of conscience. Nor with murder, mental disturbances, reports of ghosts, a sham marriage, wrongful imprisonment, and an entire further universe of heavy obstacles. Not the least of which is that Edward’s older brother, George, and Charles’s granddaughter, Susan, are also mutually smitten, and in a tangle of ways no one on Earth can apparently unpick – including them. Nevertheless, where there is love, a happy conclusion can never entirely be ruled out. The House of Charles Swinter is an epic romance. It concerns human dignity, the relationship between the sexes, goodness and beauty, poverty and wealth, globalisation, tradition and modernity. And one man and woman.
