Download or read book The New Orleans of Fiction written by James A. Kaser and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of New Orleans in American culture has made the city's place in the American imagination a crucial topic for literary scholars and cultural historians. While databases of bibliographical information on New Orleans-centered fiction are available, they are of little use to scholars researching works written before the 1980s. In The New Orleans of Fiction: A Research Guide, James A. Kaser provides detailed synopses for more than 500 works of fiction significantly set in New Orleans and published between 1836 and 1980. The synopses include plot summaries, names of major characters, and an indication of physical settings. An appendix provides bibliographical information for works dating from 1981 well into the 21st century, while a biographical section provides basic information about the authors, some of whom are obscure and would be difficult to find in other sources. Written to assist researchers in locating works of fiction for analysis, the plot summaries highlight ways in which the works touch on major aspects of social history and cultural studies (i.e., class, ethnicity, gender, immigrant experience, and race). The book is also a useful reader advisory tool for librarians and readers who want to identify materials for leisure reading, particularly since genre, juvenile, and young adult fiction—as well as literary fiction—are included.

Download or read book Women s Work written by Megan K. Stack and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2019 From National Book Award finalist Megan K. Stack, a stunning memoir of raising her children abroad with the help of Chinese and Indian women who are also working mothers When Megan Stack was living in Beijing, she left her prestigious job as a foreign correspondent to have her first child and work from home writing a book. She quickly realized that caring for a baby and keeping up with the housework while her husband went to the office each day was consuming the time she needed to write. This dilemma was resolved in the manner of many upper-class families and large corporations: she availed herself of cheap Chinese labor. The housekeeper Stack hired was a migrant from the countryside, a mother who had left her daughter in a precarious situation to earn desperately needed cash in the capital. As Stack's family grew and her husband's job took them to Dehli, a series of Chinese and Indian women cooked, cleaned, and babysat in her home. Stack grew increasingly aware of the brutal realities of their lives: domestic abuse, alcoholism, unplanned pregnancies. Hiring poor women had given her the ability to work while raising her children, but what ethical compromise had she made? Determined to confront the truth, Stack traveled to her employees' homes, met their parents and children, and turned a journalistic eye on the tradeoffs they'd been forced to make as working mothers seeking upward mobility—and on the cost to the children who were left behind. Women's Work is an unforgettable story of four women as well as an electrifying meditation on the evasions of marriage, motherhood, feminism, and privilege.

Book excerpt: "If a man has good legs, the rest of the body will follow; if a girl has good legs, men will follow." --Rudolf Friml "You can be as old as the hills," Jane Merrill's mother advised her at a young age, "and still show a little leg." Mom knew best. After all, she'd modeled for Vogue and other fashion magazines and considered good leg care a great investment. Jane took note--actually lots of them as she grew up and saw what great legs can do for any woman--until she had an encyclopedic file on how to get great legs and keep them at any age. Merrill's Great Legs! shares that wealth of leg care and fitness knowledge. The book covers everything from traditional and home treatments to once-proprietary spa secrets and high-tech leg care techniques. The author delivers this gold mine of "limb-formation" in a fun and easy-to-grasp style, as one girlfriend passing on beauty tips to another. A healthy combination of quotations, photographs, fun facts, and hip shopping tips makes Great Legs! a must-read for all women. Great Legs! includes home methods of hair removal, self-tanning and blemish-disguising tips, leg-pampering recipes, leg and feet exercises, dos and don'ts of cosmetic surgeries, and much more. Merrill taps a team of exercise and medical professionals, such as the chief of surgery at Tufts/New England Medical Center, to back up her information. This book struts!
