Excerpt: ...I may, as I hope, stand excused for my prolixity. CHAPTER VI. I Now resume my narrative, which, as the reader may perhaps remember, has not yet been brought beyond the middle of the year 1845. In the spring of that year I lost a kind patron, by the decease of the late Mr. Thomas Hood, the justly-celebrated author. To this gentleman I had been known for several years, during which time I had his full permission to wait upon him whenever I wished to do so. It was however but seldom that I could avail myself of this privilege, for a privilege it certainly was. When I could thus indulge myself, I invariably met with a most courteous and encouraging reception, both from himself and Mrs. Hood, and I shall not, I hope, ever cease gratefully to remember my honoured and kind friends. Mr. Hood's conversation was to me highly interesting, and it was my own fault if it were not also very instructive. There was nothing about it of that light and jocular kind which many might have supposed; on the contrary, it was as grave and earnest as it well could be, and, moreover, marked by indications of such feelings as were, in my view, highly honourable to him. I fully believe him to have been a genuine philanthropist; ready at all times, and in all practicable ways, to aim at increasing the comforts and promoting the true interests of humanity. Of his deeply earnest sympathy with human suffering, his 'Song of the Shirt' affords an affecting and convincing proof. This sympathy was the more honourable to him, as he was, when he wrote that song, heavily burdened by cares, and borne down by severe bodily disease. He was, indeed, at all times very much afflicted by physical pain and disorder; so that I could not but wonder at his making such arduous literary...

Download or read book No Job for a Man written by John Ross Bowie and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-11-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A darkly witty, deeply affecting, and finely crafted memoir by the Big Bang Theory andSpeechless star and comedian, John Ross Bowie. From his earliest memories of watching Rhoda with his parents in their tiny Hell’s Kitchen apartment, John knew that he wanted to be an actor. The strange, alternate world of television—where people always cracked the perfect joke, lived in glamorous Upper East Side buildings, and made up immediately after fighting—seemed far better than his own home life, with a mother and father on the brink of divorce and a neighborhood full of crumbling pre-war architecture and not-so-occasional muggings. And yet that other world also seems unattainable. Besides crippling stage fright (which would take him years to overcome) John's father, ever aloof and cynical, has instilled within him the notion that acting is “no job for a man.” His father would impart that while theater, film, and television should be consumed and even debated, to create was no way to make a living or support a family. Putting aside his acting dreams, John stumbles through his twenties. He tries his hand at teaching and other traditional occupations, but nothing feels nearly as fulfilling as playing with his fleetingly on-the-map punk band, Egghead. When he and his bandmates break up, John lands a joyless job copywriting for a consulting agency and slips into a dark depression. He loses weight, begins drinking heavily, and his relationships flounder. But everything changes when John discovers improv (and anti-depressants). As a part of New York’s now-famous Upright Citizens Brigade, John not only explores his passion for acting and comedy—and begins to envision himself doing so professionally—he also meets his future wife and fellow actor, Jamie Denbo. No Job for a Man follows the couple as they relocate to Los Angeles and try to make it in the arts, meeting success and failure, wins and losses, despair and hope along the way. Though his father chronically refuses to acknowledge pride in his adult son’s accomplishments, John comes to realize what being a man truly means.

Book excerpt: One of Vogue’s Best Books of the Year One of Esquire’s Best Books of the Year One of the Wall Street Journal’s Favorite Books of the Year One of the Most Anticipated Books of the Year: Vogue, Parade, Esquire, Bitch, and Maclean’s A New York Times and Washington Post Book to Watch A fiercely personal memoir about coming of age in the male-dominated literary world of the nineties, becoming the first female literary editor of Esquire, and Miller's personal and working relationship with David Foster Wallace A naive and idealistic twenty-two-year-old from the Midwest, Adrienne Miller got her lucky break when she was hired as an editorial assistant at GQ magazine in the mid-nineties. Even if its sensibilities were manifestly mid-century—the martinis, powerful male egos, and unquestioned authority of kings—GQ still seemed the red-hot center of the literary world. It was there that Miller began learning how to survive in a man’s world. Three years later, she forged her own path, becoming the first woman to take on the role of literary editor of Esquire, home to the male writers who had defined manhood itself— Hemingway, Mailer, and Carver. Up against this old world, she would soon discover that it wanted nothing to do with a “mere girl.” But this was also a unique moment in history that saw the rise of a new literary movement, as exemplified by McSweeney’s and the work of David Foster Wallace. A decade older than Miller, the mercurial Wallace would become the defining voice of a generation and the fiction writer she would work with most. He was her closest friend, confidant—and antagonist. Their intellectual and artistic exchange grew into a highly charged professional and personal relationship between the most prominent male writer of the era and a young woman still finding her voice. This memoir—a rich, dazzling story of power, ambition, and identity—ultimately asks the question “How does a young woman fit into this male culture and at what cost?” With great wit and deep intelligence, Miller presents an inspiring and moving portrayal of a young woman’s education in a land of men. “The memoir I’ve been waiting for: a bold, incisive, and illuminating story of a woman whose devotion to language and literature comes at a hideous cost. It’s Joanna Rakoff’s My Salinger Year updated for the age of She Said: a literary New York now long past; an intimate, fiercely realist portrait of a mythic literary figure; and now, a tender reckoning with possession, power, and what Jia Tolentino called the ‘Important, Inappropriate Literary Man.’ A poised and superbly perceptive narration of the problems of working with men, and of loving them.”— Eleanor Henderson, author of 10,000 Saints

Book excerpt: Having been born at the tail end of a large family my grandparents died when I was still young and my parents died when I was in my early thirties. In later life, apart from a few anecdotes I realised that we had a family history 'void', we had lost the opportunity to learn about their lives, their joys, their trials, their history – where did they meet, what was their everyday life like, two world wars and a depression must have thrown up some dramas, some tragedies, some excitement, it was all gone and we were left ignorant and wondering. So I decided to record the patchwork quilt of our lives in the hope that some day our children and grandchildren may read, enjoy and perhaps understand the forces that shaped our lives and made us what we were. In doing this we found that we had more laughs than tears, (although there was plenty of both) we are rich in family and friends, and that there is a certain kind of honour in being 'an ordinary working man'!! Read this book, you will not only find it interesting, funny with laughs aplenty, but unlike any autobiography you have ever read.

Download or read book Man Made written by Ken Baker and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2001-03-05 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon to be a major motion picture, here is the funny, revealing, harrowing memoir of a star journalist and hotshot hockey pro who discovers that he is biochemically changing into a woman. On the surface, Ken Baker seemed a model man. He was a nationally ranked hockey goalie; a Hollywood correspondent for People; a guest-lister at celebrity parties; and girls came on to him. Inside, though, he didn't feel like the man he was supposed to be. Ken found that despite being attracted to women, he had little sex drive and even less of a sex life. To his anguish, he repeatedly found himself unable to perform sexually. Regardless of strenuous workouts, his body remained flabby and soft, earning him the nickname "Pear" from his macho teammates. Physically, matters grew even more bizarre when he discovered that he was lactating. The testosterone-driven culture in which Ken grew up made it agonizingly difficult for him to seek help. But in time he discovered something that lifted years of pain, frustration, and confusion: a brain tumor was causing his body to be flooded with massive amounts of a female hormone, which was disabling his masculinity. Five hours of surgery accomplished what years of therapy, rumination, and denail could not -- and allowed Ken Baker to finally feel -- and function -- like a man. Ken's story is coming to the screen in Fall 2016 in a much-anticipted Netflix feature film, The Late Bloomer, starring Academy Award-winner JK Simmons (Law & Order, Whiplash, Spider-Man) and Jane Lynch (Glee, The 40-Year-Old Virgin). Watch for the TarcherPerigee movie tie-in edition.
