Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Literary Industries: A Memoir Hen we contemplate a great work of any kind we are naturally led to inquire into the origin of it. We ask ourselves how it was conceived; how the germ-idea of it was developed; how it grew to its full proportions; and above all, What manner of man it was to whom the accom plishment Of such a work was given. In this volume of memoirs the genesis, evolution, and completion of one of the most remarkable literary undertakings of the age are de scribed, and in the most interesting of forms, namely, the auto biographic. The life and work of Hubert Howe Bancroft, moreover, afford a study of one of the rarest and most potent of combinations - that of the faculties which belong to the scholar and to the man Of action. For the most part these faculties are found apart. The scholar is seldom a man of action; the man of action is seldom a scholar. The devotion of all available energies to busmess has usually been thought incompatible with the development and pursuit of any high intellectual aim. The devotion Of all available energies to intellectual work has as a rule appeared incompatible with success in what are called practical affairs. Mr. Bancroft's memoirs not only prove him to be possessed of both these capacities, but they clearly Show that this rare and peculiar combination could alone have enabled him to carry out his life-work as he has done.

Excerpt: ...Having come to this conclusion, I frankly admitted to him that I had neither the intelligence nor the means required for so colossal an enterprise, but assured him that Hubert H. Bancroft," etc. After a brief interview Cerruti retreated with an invitation to dine at Lachryma Montis the next day. It was a grand opportunity, that dinner party, for a few others had been invited, and we may rest assured our general did not fail to improve it. Early during the courses his inventive faculties were brought into play, and whenever anything specially strong arose in his mind he threw up his chin, and lifted his voice so that all present might hear it. On whatever subject such remark might be, it was sure to be received with laughter and applause; for somewhere interwoven in it was a compliment for some one present, who if not specially pleased at the broad flattery could but be amused at the manner in which it was presented. How well the envoy improved his time is summed in one line of his account, where with charming naivete he says: "In such pleasant company hunger disappeared as if by enchant ment, and the food placed on my plate was left almost untouched "--in plain English, he talked so much he could not eat. Next day our expert little general was everywhere, talking to everybody, in barber-shops, beer-saloons, and wine-cellars, in public and private houses, offices and stores, making friends and picking up information relating to his mission. First he wrote the reminiscences of some half-dozen pioneers he had met and conversed with on the boat, at the hotel, and on the street, writings which he did not fail to spread before General Vallejo, with loud and ludicrous declamation on the character of each. Thus he made the magnate of Sonoma feel...

Book excerpt: Working-class stories are not always tales of the underprivileged and dispossessed. Common People is a collection of essays, poems and memoir written in celebration, not apology: these are narratives rich in barbed humour, reflecting the depth and texture of working-class life, the joy and sorrow, the solidarity and the differences, the everyday wisdom and poetry of the woman at the bus stop, the waiter, the hairdresser. Here, Kit de Waal brings together thirty-three established and emerging writers who invite you to experience the world through their eyes, their voices loud and clear as they reclaim and redefine what it means to be working class. Features original pieces from Damian Barr, Malorie Blackman, Lisa Blower, Jill Dawson, Louise Doughty, Stuart Maconie, Chris McCrudden, Lisa McInerney, Paul McVeigh, Daljit Nagra, Dave O’Brien, Cathy Rentzenbrink, Anita Sethi, Tony Walsh, Alex Wheatle and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germany, 1940. While struggling to survive at an orphanage, young Didi crosses paths with a rebellious, quirky girl who will either help her escape a life of abuse and uncertainty or lead her down an even darker path. Fast-forward to 1970. With help from a worn leather journal, another young girl learns the story of Didi, who escaped war-torn Germany for a better life in America—except her life didn’t turn out as expected. The stories of these two girls intertwine and eventually collide one Christmas night when Didi, all grown up, finally remembers the secret she buried long ago. Chasing North Star looks back at a time when four free-range siblings, cigarettes in hand, roamed the streets ’til sunrise and hid from a gun-toting, mentally ill mother who couldn’t help herself. Stingray bicycles, transistor radios, and late nights in the cemetery—just another day in Alamo. That is, until the youngest sibling stumbles upon Didi’s story.

Book excerpt: “Destined to become a staple reference book for writers and those interested in publishing careers.” —Publishers Weekly Writers talk about their work in many ways: as an art, as a calling, as a lifestyle.

Download or read book Boom written by Julie Rak and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2013-06-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990s, tens of thousands of memoirs by celebrities and unknown people have been published, sold, and read by millions of American readers. The memoir boom, as the explosion of memoirs on the market has come to be called, has been welcomed, vilified, and dismissed in the popular press. But is there really a boom in memoir production in the United States? If so, what is causing it? Are memoirs all written by narcissistic hacks for an unthinking public, or do they indicate a growing need to understand world events through personal experiences? This study seeks to answer these questions by examining memoir as an industrial product like other products, something that publishers and booksellers help to create. These popular texts become part of mass culture, where they are connected to public events. The genre of memoir, and even genre itself, ceases to be an empty classification category and becomes part of social action and consumer culture at the same time. From James Frey’s controversial A Million Little Pieces to memoirs about bartending, Iran, the liberation of Dachau, computer hacking, and the impact of 9/11, this book argues that the memoir boom is more than a publishing trend. It is becoming the way American readers try to understand major events in terms of individual experiences. The memoir boom is one of the ways that citizenship as a category of belonging between private and public spheres is now articulated.
