Book excerpt: Trail of the Turbo presents one of the most unique and colorful chapters in the history of American passenger railroading. A story of 13 red, white, and blue trainsets that brought together the jet engine and the flanged wheel; and assumed a public relations role far out of proportion to their limited numbers--becoming the face of Amtrak during three decades. A story of operation on seven routes, over ten railroads, in seven states and two countries, during a period of 31 years. A story of two manufacturers, three rebuilders, three maintenance facilities, and six equipment variations. A story of very special trains, and the people who built them, ran them, rode them, serviced them, and promoted them.
Download or read book Turbo s Very Life and Other Stories written by Carroll Dale Short and published by NewSouth Books. This book was released on 2005-06-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the eighteen stories in this retrospective of his best short fiction, Dale Short shows why he is one of the best prose stylists of his generation and why he deserves a break-out success. Short's writing has been hailed by Wally Lamb as “simultaneously mythical and modern; a wild ride,” and Dennis Covington has called him “wise and compassionate, a major Southern writer.” He writes here from many perspectives—male, female, first person, third person, grieving widow, newly divorced dad, jailed redneck, river man laid up with heart trouble, conjure woman—and in every story the voice is as true as that of a child and as clear as fresh ice. The marvel of Short's prose is that the writing is so good it disappears, leaving the reader surrounded only by the story, which resonates long after the last word is absorbed. The other remarkable thing is how Short can go from comedy to tragedy within a single paragraph, sometimes within a single sentence, and then back again. His time lines here range from the Civil War to the near future, and the locales vary from a Kentucky mining town to the Gulf Coast of Mexico to the constellation Orion—all in all, a rare feast for the imagination. Stories that have appeared before only in magazines, this collection charts more than two decades of the growth and exploration of an author who won the first Redbook Fiction Prize at the age of twenty-seven, and whose acclaimed novel The Shining Shining Path was called by reviewers “Southern magical realism” and praised by Publishers Weekly as “boldly imaginative; a provocative spiritual odyssey.” Publishers Weekly added, “Short takes risks in a single paragraph that many writers never attempt in an entire novel.”

Full of history and trivia, yet also offering lighthearted humor, this book follows Michaels free-falling nonstop journey to get back to the woman he loves on Earth. But she too is caught in a series of mysterious events, and Michael soon realizes that, despite the most valiant efforts of his newfound friends, his journey back to Earth has become more complicated than anyone could have foreseen.
