Download or read book We Won t Make It Out Alive written by Kate Walls and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-15 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first full length study of Patrick McCabe’s work, We Won’t Make It Out Alive, examines the mental instability and carefully constructed childhoods that McCabe has crafted for his various characters—the one eyed quasi Al Pacino, the sequin studded transvestite, the bachelor farmer who routinely exhumes his dead mother for a chat. Beneath the grotesque and often very funny narratives of Irish border town life lurks startlingly similar pasts for these characters, spanning all of McCabe’s catalogue. As children, they were subject to the cruelty of the orphanage/workhouse or deadbeat parents numbed by alcohol. Many were victims of sexual abuse by priests and witnesses to the senseless violence brought on by political divides. The outrageous personalities and later actions of these characters often overshadow these very real beginnings, and in this book, Kate Walls discusses the impact of these social problems and how McCabe’s unfortunate (and usually well-meaning) narrators are driven crazy as a result. We Won’t Make It Out Alive also discusses how these characters fare against the Troubles of the 1970s and, for the novels set in more contemporary times, the changing Ireland of the Celtic Tiger. Being on the fringes of society themselves, McCabe’s characters have a unique vantage point from which to comment on these defining moments of social upheaval.

Five years later, Jake steps back into her life, realizing that being a no-show for their nuptials was the worst mistake of his life. A little older and slightly more mature, he is ready to fight for Ashly’s love once again. When Ashly sees him, she can’t deny the attraction she feels, but her hormones are overruled by the horror of what he did to her in the past. Nevertheless, Jake’s most potent weapon, those dazzling baby blues, ignites a spark in Ashly, no matter how angry she wants to be. She cannot deny the spark, and she only hopes the inferno it ignites will not consume her heart again. According to the terms of her mother’s will, Ashly cannot cash in on her inheritance until she and Jake travel to nearly a dozen locations around the globe.

Can Ashly put up with Jake through her globe-hopping scavenger hunt to get her family fortune? Will she ever be able to forget or forgive being dumped on her wedding day?

Download or read book Words of Power Quest written by Cozy and published by Partridge Publishing Singapore. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was the best way to teach others? What could I have done better? How should I proceed with teaching people? My answer was write a story. But it cant be a simple, boring tale that can be finished selfishly without interacting with anyone else. There must be a better way, I thought. And it hit me. Actors in a script take turns to read their lines, and readers can take turns role-playing my characters. Ergo, writing in a script-like format could spawn a new social activity altogether, even if it costs me sales. But that too is alright. I do not write because I need the income. I write with these incapable hands of mine because the stories deserve every opportunity to exist.
