Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike most girls who are strong, smart and social, she is super strong, extra-smart and rarely normal. There isn’t anything that she can’t solve or can’t understand or can’t get through. But, this remarkable capability of hers, doesn’t work for two people. To put it in her style: First, the one whom she can never help – Herself! And two, the other whom she will never help – Me! And the reason is that I love her but she loves him. But still, ours is an unusual tale of love because there is a difference! If my love is unconditional, hers is obsessive. If mine is pure, hers is truthful. If mine is for happiness, hers is for selflessness. If mine is love, hers is respect. Not knowing what to do, one day I asked her, “Everyone has a dad; what’s so special about yours?” She retorted, “Everyone has a boyfriend; what’s so special about you?” I’m still thinking about that! Can you help me with this girl, she’s – Pretty, Pragmatic but Problematic!

Download or read book Dialectical Leftism s Assault on Canada written by Mavros Whissell and published by Word Alive Press. This book was released on 2024-09-16 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada is battleground to a Western culture war. The seeds for that contest were sown after Karl Marx published the Manifesto of the Communist Party in 1848. It took just thirty years for that radicalism to cross the Atlantic and invade the New World. Dialectical leftism’s assault on Canada spread like a slow but deadly virus. Before it could be successfully treated, it mutated under subsequent waves of radical ideology. Under its increasing influence, the Canadian state began to realign during the Pierre Elliot Trudeau years. This ideological trajectory was forcefully reinvigorated through Pierre’s eldest son, Justin. Dialectical leftism’s current targets face Neo-Marxist/postmodern accusations of “systemic racism” and “White supremacy.” This woke ideology—the most recent iteration of dialectical leftism—threatens to tear the West apart. How exactly did Canada get to this point? What can we do about it? Find out in the very book you hold!

Download or read book The Ghost Town Preservation Society written by Julie Clark Simon and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-08-03 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the past really matter? Fleeing a failed marriage and a failed profession, a woman on the dangerous side of forty decides a Montana ghost town holds the key to the mystery of her birth. Hard-living AJ Armstrong is obsessed by history, especially her own. Abandoning her academic career, she arrives in the run-down mountain town of Misfire, Montana, armed only with her willingness to take on the world with a double-shot of irony chased down with a dose of pessimism. Roped into a temporary job at the town's weekly newspaper, AJ finds a friend in worldly-wise Rheta, a former prostitute turned editor. Rheta not only knows where all the bodies are buried in Misfire, she has a pretty good idea where AJ should seek the scandals still haunting nearby Bannack, infamous for its violent history. AJ's plan is to figure out how her roots are entangled with that ghost town's past—and then to hit the highway. Before she can escape, AJ is warned to “leave the past alone,” advice amplified by a devastating fire and a death that may or may not be accidental. But stubbornly digging through history is what AJ does best. As lives intersect and specters are raised, Bannack finally gives up its ghosts, and AJ's life is forever altered. Winner of the prestigious Utah Original Writing Competition, this novel conveys a sense of small-town Montana life as lived in the shadow of the mountains and reveals its story with sharp humor, distinctive characters, and a satisfying ending. The author is a Big Sky Country native who spent her early career as a newspaper reporter for Southwest Montana newspapers before settling down to teaching and to directing the Writing Center at Southern Utah University.

Download or read book The Best American Comics Criticism written by Ben Schwartz and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2010-05-25 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An immediate perennial, documenting the critical rise of the graphic novel. Conventional wisdom states that cartooning and graphic novels exist in a golden age of creativity, popularity, and critical acceptance. But why? Today, the signal is stronger than ever, but so is the noise. New York Times, Vanity Fair, and Bookforum critic Ben Schwartz assembles the greatest lineup of comics critics the world has yet seen to testify on behalf of this increasingly vital medium. The Best American Comics Writing is the first attempt to collate the best criticism to date of the graphic novel boom in a way that contextualizes and codifies one of the most important literary movements of the last 60 years. This collection begins in 2000, the game changing year that Pantheon released the graphic novels Jimmy Corrigan and David Boring. Originally serialized as “alternative” comics, they went on to confirm the critical and commercial viability of graphic literature. Via its various authors, this collection functions as a valuable readers’ guide for fans, academics, and librarians, tracing the current comics renaissance from its beginnings and creative growth to the cutting edge of today’s artists. This volume includes Daniel Clowes (Ghost World) in conversation with novelist Jonathan Lethem (Fortress of Solitude), Chris Ware, Jonathan Franzen (The Corrections), John Hodgman (The Daily Show, The Areas of My Expertise, The New York Times Book Review), David Hajdu (The 10-Cent Plague), Douglas Wolk (Publishers Weekly, author of the Eisner award-winning Reading Comics), Frank Miller (Sin City and The Spirit film director) in conversation with Will Eisner (The Spirit’s creator), Gerard Jones’ (Men of Tomorrow), Brian Doherty (author Radicals of Capitalism, This is Burning Man) and critics Ken Parille (Comic Art), Jeet Heer (The National Post), R.C. Harvey (biographer of Milton Caniff), and Donald Phelps (author of the landmark book of comics criticism,Reading the Funnies). Best American Comics Writing also features a cover by nationally known satirist Drew Friedman (The New York Observer, Old Jewish Comedians) in which Friedman asks, “tongue-in-cheek,” if cartoonists are the new literati, what must their critics look like?
