Book excerpt: From Dickens and Dostoyevsky through to Capote and Norman Mailer, great authors have wrestled with the criminal mind; and now Jacob Miller, one of the best new authors in America, puts his pen to this task in a work that is both riveting and engrossing. Can anything get through to the criminal sociopath, or is he truly untouchable? Follow the life of Frankie Moreno from his earliest encounters with death in La Perla, Old San Juan in the late 1940s, to his childhood experiences as a victim in El Barrio, East Harlem, New York, to his own early criminal activities, his gradual rising through the ranks and his eventual arrival as the leader of the Untouchables, one of the most feared Latino street gangs in Harlem. From that point the story follows Frankie as he manipulates a position for himself as an associate of the Pleasant Street Mob, under the leadership of the Godfather of one of the Five Families, Thomas Lucchese, then follows Frankies increasing activities with the Mafia as a major drug dealer intimately involved with the French Connection, to the Pizza Connection and finally, to the Columbian Connection. Finally the story shows Frankie breaking out and starting his own family by reviving the Untouchables but now structuring his operation after the Mafia. Along the way, Frankie serves hard time in maximum security prisons, commits gruesome murders and runs every racket under the sun. It is only after his own narcotics addiction brings him down that Miller leads us to Frankies compelling conclusionhow after Frankies multiple failed attempts to conquer his addiction, finally, late in life, he becomes a Jehovahs Witness, ultimately conquering his addiction to drugs and shedding blood. This remarkable and tensely exciting tale of unspeakable horror will leave the reader as unnerved and invigorated as the Godfather movies and Carlitos Way.

Download or read book Killing Season written by Peter Canning and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A devastating, empathetic look at the opioid epidemic in the United States, through the eyes of a paramedic on the front lines. [I] set my cardiac monitor down by the young man's head. He is lifeless, his face white with a blue tinge. I apply the defibrillator pads to his hairless chest . . . A week from today, after the young man's brain shows no signs of electrical activity, the medical staff will take the breathing tube out, and with his family gathered by his side, he will pass away at the age of twenty-three. When Peter Canning started work as a paramedic on the streets of Hartford, Connecticut, twenty-five years ago, he believed drug users were victims only of their own character flaws. Although he took care of them, he did not care for them. But as the overdoses escalated, Canning began asking his patients how they had gotten started on their perilous journeys. And while no two tales were the same, their heartrending similarities changed Canning's view and moved him to educate himself about the science of addiction. Armed with that understanding, he began his fight against the stigmatization of users. In Killing Season, we ride along with Canning through the streets of Hartford as he tells stories of opioid overdose from a street-level vantage point. A first responder to hundreds of overdoses throughout the rise of America's epidemic, Canning has seen the impact of prescription painkillers, heroin, and the deadly synthetic opioid fentanyl firsthand. Bringing us into the room (or the car, or the portable toilet) with the victims of this epidemic, Canning explains how he came to favor harm reduction, which advocates for needle exchange, community naloxone, and safe-injection sites. Through the rapid-fire nature of one paramedic's view of addiction and overdose, readers will come to understand more than just the science and misguided policies behind the opioid epidemic. They'll also share in Canning's developing empathy. Stripping away the stigma of addiction through stories that are hard-hitting, poignant, sad, confessional, funny, and overall, human, Killing Season will change minds about the epidemic, help obliterate stigma, and save lives.

Download or read book Hyperbole and a Half written by Allie Brosh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-10-29 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!
