Download or read book Fighting in the Shade written by Sterling Watson and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A brilliant, fearless look at the savage rites of passage that exist in the fraternity of American sports . . . gripping and unforgettable.” —Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River In 1964, seventeen-year-old Billy Dyer is a newcomer to Oleander, a Gulf Coast Florida town whose old guard define football as the ancient Spartans did their Agoge. It is a mode of brutal tutelage that forges the hearts and minds of the town’s elite youth for a future of power. Billy’s parents are recently divorced and he lives in a bad neighborhood with his secretive, alcoholic father. Through the brutal and fiery days of summer practice, Billy fights for a starting spot on the team, the Spartans. He makes the team, but in a horrific hazing scene far from the town, he rebels and in the process badly injures his rival for the flanker position. The events that follow force Billy into exile from football, then later back into the game when powerful men realize that the Spartans cannot win without him. “Fighting in the Shade is less a sports novel than a coming-of-age story wound around a mystery, with football as symbol and symptom.” —St. Petersburg Times “A powerful, beautifully written book about attitudes and practices that we want to believe are safely in the past. Instead, as Watson reminds us, corruption and cruelty survive through their uncanny ability to take on new shapes.” —Laura Lippman, New York Times–bestselling author “High school football mixes with Faust in this blitz of a novel from Watson . . . a big Dennis Lehane-like story of society, opportunity, and consequences, revealing Watson as an accomplished storyteller.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

Download or read book Dark Times in the City written by Gene Kerrigan and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of The Rage delivers “an absorbing, beautifully written, gritty tale of Irish detection and corruption” (The Times, London). Danny Callaghan is having a quiet drink in a Dublin pub when two men with guns walk in. They’re here to take care of a minor problem—petty criminal Walter Bennett. On impulse, Callaghan intervenes to save Walter’s life. Soon, his own survival is in question. With a troubled past and an uncertain future, Danny finds himself drawn into a vicious scheme of revenge. Dark Times in the City depicts an edgy city where affluence and cocaine fuel a ruthless gang culture, and a man’s fleeting impulse may cost the lives of those who matter most to him. Gene Kerrigan’s new novel is his finest yet; a CWA Gold Dagger Crime Novel finalist, it’s gripping from start to finish, powerful, original, and impossible to put down. “Following The Rage, Kerrigan delivers another spare, cut-to-the-bone noir in which a well-meaning ex-con finds himself trapped in the vice of circumstance. . . . Kerrigan’s grasp of contemporary Dublin and its underworld denizens puts him shoulder to shoulder with the best Irish crime writers.” —Booklist (starred review) “Kerrigan gives us a Dublin we never knew in sharp clear prose and neatly bounded dramatic scenes of Irish cops and robbers that leave us fearing that some of the dust and other detritus they stir up may very well end up splattering on our shoes.” —The Boston Globe “Kerrigan’s gripping police procedural . . . is good news for readers who can appreciate the moral complexities of this flawed hero.” —The New York Times

Book excerpt: A comprehensive biography of the late designer, Karl Lagerfeld, and his infamous rivalry with Yves Saint Laurent. In the 1970s, Paris fashion exploded like a champagne bottle left out in the sun. Amid sequins and longing, celebrities and aspirants flocked to the heart of chic, and Paris became a hothouse of revelry, intrigue, and searing ambition. At the center of it all were fashion's most beloved luminaries - Yves Saint Laurent, the reclusive enfant terrible, and Karl Lagerfeld, the flamboyant freelancer with a talent for reinvention - and they divided Paris into two fabulous halves. Their enduring rivalry is chronicled in this dazzling exposè of an era: of social ambitions, shared obsessions, and the mesmerizing quest for beauty. "Deliciously dramatic... The Beautiful Fall crackles with excitement."-New York Times Book Review "Fascinating." -New York Times "Addictive." -Philadelphia Inquirer "It's like US Weekly, 1970s style." -Gotham "A story constructed as exquisitely as a couture dress. . . . It moves stylishly forward, with frequent over-the-shoulder glances at some very dishy background." -Boston Globe

Book excerpt: Atmosphere, a novel. Karl has found himself a long way from the ruined world that bore him. As a young man, winning a transportation lottery seemed like a stroke of good fortune. The land of New Kilda promised to provide opportunity to raise himself and his family out of poverty of feudal society. The catch was he would have to leave his former life behind if he was to survive. Scottish chieftains that ruled the Old World since the British defeat maintained their dominion upon the New World. An underground group of settlers hoped to overthrow these oppressors. Aiding them is the discovery that there had been earlier inhabitants on New Kilda, the Anasazi. Though these ancient ones had disappeared in the distant past, the magick they left behind remains. Magick that Karl discovers he is particularly adept at channeling.

Download or read book AMERIKA The Man Who Disappeared written by Franz Kafka and published by Lebooks Editora. This book was released on 2024-09-11 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amerika , by Franz Kafka, is an unfinished work that explores themes of alienation, bureaucracy, and the search for identity in an impersonal and oppressive world. The narrative follows the story of Karl Rossmann, a young man sent to the United States after a sexual scandal, with the promise of starting a new life. Throughout his journey, Karl faces a series of situations that symbolize the dehumanization of modern societies, often being oppressed by forces he barely understands. Kafka builds a world where institutions are labyrinthine, and characters seem to be at the mercy of impersonal and arbitrary structures. The America depicted by Kafka is both a symbol of the promise of freedom and new opportunities, and a place of constant isolation and disorientation. Karl is repeatedly manipulated and controlled by figures of authority, highlighting the contrast between the expectations of a land of opportunity and the reality of an oppressive system. Since its posthumous publication, Amerika has been recognized for its unique take on the American Dream and the complexities of exile. The work reflects Kafka's anxieties about modernity, industrialization, and cultural displacement. Although unfinished, Kafka's narrative offers a sharp critique of society and remains relevant by addressing existential and institutional issues that continue to resonate in the contemporary world.
