Download or read book Girl Boy Girl written by Savannah Knoop and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2011-01-04 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soon to be a major motion picture starring Kristen Stewart (as JT) and Laura Dern. The JT LeRoy scandal is a story of our times. In January 2006, the New York Times unmasked Savannah Knoop as the face of the mysterious author JT LeRoy. A media frenzy ensued as JT’s fans, mentors, and readers came to terms with the fact that the gay-male-ex-truck-stop-prostitute-turned literary-wunderkind was really a girl from San Francisco, whose sister-in-law wrote the books. Girl Boy Girl is the story of how Savannah Knoop led this bizarre double life for six years, trading a precarious existence as a college dropout for a life in which she was embraced by celebrities and artists—Carrie Fisher, Courtney Love, Mary Ellen Mark, Winona Ryder, Asia Argento, Sharon Olds, Gus Van Sant, Mike Pitt, Calvin Klein, and Shirley Manson, to name a few—and traveled the world. Telling her side of the story for the first time, Savannah reveals how being perceived as a boy gave her a sense of confidence and entitlement she never had before. Her love affair with Asia Argento is particularly wrenching, as they embark on an intimate relationship that causes more alienation than closeness. As Savannah and Laura struggle over control of the JT character, Savannah realizes the limits of the game - - and inadvertently finds herself through the adventure of being someone else.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native to the savannas and grasslands of sub-Saharan Africa, the Savannah Monitor Lizard (Varanus exanthematicus) is one of the monitor lizard species found there. In some parts of the world, people keep these lizards as exotic pets due to their unique appearance. Key features and facts about the Savannah Monitor Lizard are as follows. 1. Although they can get much bigger in captivity, Savannah Monitor Lizards are on the smaller side of monitor lizards, with an average length of around 2 to 4 feet (0.6 to 1.2 meters). 2. They are able to blend into their natural environment because to their rough, scaly skin that has a brown to grayish background hue and dark, irregular markings. They have sturdy frames and powerful limbs equipped with sharp claws. 3. As the name suggests, these animals' natural habitat is the dry grasslands and open woods of Africa's savannas. They often dig underground burrows to avoid being discovered by predators or extremely cold weather. 4. Savannah Monitors, like most other carnivorous reptiles, eat a wide variety of animals, including insects, small mammals, birds, and even other reptiles and amphibians. 5. In captivity, these lizards are recognized for having a laid-back and inquisitive demeanor. They are largely terrestrial in the wild, though they can also climb and swim. 6. Savannah monitors lay eggs as part of their reproductive process. Eggs are laid by females in burrows or other secret places, and after a time of incubation, the young emerge. 7. The Savannah Monitor Lizard is not in risk of extinction and is not particularly rare in its native habitat. Although some people find Savannah Monitors fascinating and decide to keep them as pets, it's important to remember that these lizards have specific dietary and environmental needs. Because of their potential longevity, prospective owners should be prepared for a long-term commitment. It is crucial to check the laws and criteria of your area before deciding to bring a Savannah Monitor Lizard into your home as a pet.
Download or read book The New Sport of Minkenry written by Joseph Carter and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-07-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mink are famous worldwide for their luxurious coat of fur, and yet most people know very little about them beyond their use as clothing. Even trappers, naturalists, and fur farmers, those who should know mink best, typically know only one side of the mink... their bad side. Those who do "know mink" will tell you how extremely aggressive and blood thirsty the mink is, and truth be told, they aren't that far off. But there is a different side to mink that very few have seen. This book not only tells how the art of Minkenry began, but more importantly, it is a step by step guide to those wanting to train a hunting mink. In this book I share how to tame, train, and properly care for this very intense little predator, the North American mink. Though still in its infancy, the sport of minkenry has been spreading thanks to the information sharing power of the Internet. First started in the western state of Utah, there are now minkeners springing up across the United States, and even as far away as the UK, Germany, France, and other European countries! As there is a growing need for a "how to" manual on the art of minkenry, this book was written specifically to fill that need. Minkenry is a very challenging sport, and is definitely not for everyone! Though highly intelligent, and surprisingly affectionate, mink are also very high-strung and stubborn creatures. They typically use their intelligence to work against you, far more than they do to work with you. Though not an adventure for the faint of heart; falconers, hunters, trappers, and other sportsmen worldwide, are being drawn to the art of minkenry with a pioneer's spirit. They have the desire to become part of something that has never been done before! If you yearn to experience the challenge of hunting with an aggressive, high strung, truly wild animal; then join us and become one of the pioneers in the new sport of minkenry!
