Download or read book I Know This Much Is True written by Wally Lamb and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-06-03 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his stunning debut novel, She's Come Undone, Wally Lamb won the adulation of critics and readers with his mesmerizing tale of one woman's painful yet triumphant journey of self-discovery. Now, this brilliantly talented writer returns with I Know This Much Is True, a heartbreaking and poignant multigenerational saga of the reproductive bonds of destruction and the powerful force of forgiveness. A masterpiece that breathtakingly tells a story of alienation and connection, power and abuse, devastation and renewal--this novel is a contemporary retelling of an ancient Hindu myth. A proud king must confront his demons to achieve salvation. Change yourself, the myth instructs, and you will inhabit a renovated world. When you're the same brother of a schizophrenic identical twin, the tricky thing about saving yourself is the blood it leaves on your bands--the little inconvenience of the look-alike corpse at your feet. And if you're into both survival of the fittest and being your brother's keeper--if you've promised your dying mother--then say so long to sleep and hello to the middle of the night. Grab a book or a beer. Get used to Letterman's gap-toothed smile of the absurd, or the view of the bedroom ceiling, or the influence of random selection. Take it from a godless insomniac. Take it from the uncrazy twin--the guy who beat the biochemical rap. Dominick Birdsey's entire life has been compromised and constricted by anger and fear, by the paranoid schizophrenic twin brother he both deeply loves and resents, and by the past they shared with their adoptive father, Ray, a spit-and-polish ex-Navy man (the five-foot-six-inch sleeping giant who snoozed upstairs weekdays in the spare room and built submarines at night), and their long-suffering mother, Concettina, a timid woman with a harelip that made her shy and self-conscious: She holds a loose fist to her face to cover her defective mouth--her perpetual apology to the world for a birth defect over which she'd had no control. Born in the waning moments of 1949 and the opening minutes of 1950, the twins are physical mirror images who grow into separate yet connected entities: the seemingly strong and protective yet fearful Dominick, his mother's watchful "monkey"; and the seemingly weak and sweet yet noble Thomas, his mother's gentle "bunny." From childhood, Dominick fights for both separation and wholeness--and ultimately self-protection--in a house of fear dominated by Ray, a bully who abuses his power over these stepsons whose biological father is a mystery. I was still afraid of his anger but saw how he punished weakness--pounced on it. Out of self-preservation I hid my fear, Dominick confesses. As for Thomas, he just never knew how to play defense. He just didn't get it. But Dominick's talent for survival comes at an enormous cost, including the breakup of his marriage to the warm, beautiful Dessa, whom he still loves. And it will be put to the ultimate test when Thomas, a Bible-spouting zealot, commits an unthinkable act that threatens the tenuous balance of both his and Dominick's lives. To save himself, Dominick must confront not only the pain of his past but the dark secrets he has locked deep within himself, and the sins of his ancestors--a quest that will lead him beyond the confines of his blue-collar New England town to the volcanic foothills of Sicily 's Mount Etna, where his ambitious and vengefully proud grandfather and a namesake Domenico Tempesta, the sostegno del famiglia, was born. Each of the stories Ma told us about Papa reinforced the message that he was the boss, that he ruled the roost, that what he said went. Searching for answers, Dominick turns to the whispers of the dead, to the pages of his grandfather's handwritten memoir, The History of Domenico Onofrio Tempesta, a Great Man from Humble Beginnings. Rendered with touches of magic realism, Domenico's fablelike tale--in which monkeys enchant and religious statues weep--becomes the old man's confession--an unwitting legacy of contrition that reveals the truth's of Domenico's life, Dominick learns that power, wrongly used, defeats the oppressor as well as the oppressed, and now, picking through the humble shards of his deconstructed life, he will search for the courage and love to forgive, to expiate his and his ancestors' transgressions, and finally to rebuild himself beyond the haunted shadow of his twin. Set against the vivid panoply of twentieth-century America and filled with richly drawn, memorable characters, this deeply moving and thoroughly satisfying novel brings to light humanity's deepest needs and fears, our aloneness, our desire for love and acceptance, our struggle to survive at all costs. Joyous, mystical, and exquisitely written, I Know This Much Is True is an extraordinary reading experience that will leave no reader untouched.
Download or read book Keep Yo Cookie In Da Cookie Jar written by Evangelist Veeda and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives godly living for women and little girls from the LORD Almighty Most High Living God. This book is the LORD's Last Day End Time perspective about da "cookie" that Steve Harvey wrote about. Steve Harvey wrote a book called Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man. The LORD states that book is from a man's perspective about women, and da "cookie" Steve Harvey refers to is the woman's vagina. Steve gave women advice from a man's perspective on how to land a man. He advised on how not to give up da "cookie" for ninety days. He even shared with women on how to get the ring even after you gave up da "cookie" for free by living with a man. He talked about all types of men and how they liked their "cookie." Steve Harvey did the best job that he could do as a man, but Steve is only a man. This book is for women from the LORD Almighty Most High Living God's perspective about dat "cookie." The LORD desires to share with women to go back to the "Garden of Eden" and learn "What was da Cookie designed for?" Why did the Father make us sexual beings? What will happen to da cookie in the wrong hands, and much more. The LORD speaks about the danger of giving da "cookie" away, so He is telling women to "Keep Yo Cookie in Da Cookie Jar." The LORD speaks on being chaste and celibate. The LORD Almighty Most High Living God says, "Laughter is like medicine to da soul." He will use laughter to heal us. Praise His Holy Name JESUS for He Alone is Worthy of our praise, honor, glory, and power. His grace and peace be unto you. Ladies, remember IF you take your cookie out of Da Cookie Jar, then you risk having your cookie with One Bite taken out of it, Two Bites taken out of it, Three Bites taken out of it or even Four Bites taken out of it. Things could get even worst by your cookie being broke in half, broke in quarters or even broken into crumbs. Keep Yo Cookie in Da Cookie Jar or Put Yo Cookie back in Da Cookie Jar so that The Father can protect it for you, until you get married to your husband (man). He will HOLD the key to your Cookie Jar. Hope is not lost, because The Father can even put the Broken Pieces of Yo Cookie back together again with it in His Hands. He will make you Whole Again!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E-mail to the author by the translator Date: Tue, 10 May 2011 16:23:56 +0100 From: Alessandra Baroni Subject: Re: Ermanno Capelli-Yo Yo Denti di Lupo To: Ermanno Capelli Hello Ermanno, what a pleasure to receive your e-mail! I completed the translation just a few days ago, and now I'm careful revising it to avoid any oversight. When I came into contact with Laura, she brought two books to be translated: I had to choose between yours and another novel. I just read the first pages to decide, I was so excited that I could not wait to start work. I think it took me less than five minutes to tell her my choice! I loved your novel! The more I kept on reading the more I got completely involved in it. The novel, through its irony and its grotesque, can pass important messages, without ever becoming banal, indeed! I must say that I had a lot of fun translating Yo Yo Denti di Lupo. It was a truly pleasure rather than a work. I had the good fortune to spend a year living in the States. This experience has been very helpful in translating your novel, especially for the use of slang and street language, which unfortunately are not taught at the University ... but on the other hand, they are becoming increasingly popular. Really, congratulations for your work and I'm waiting for the next one ... Now, I am a fan of yours! Thanks for the good wishes. A hug Alessandra
Download or read book Redialing Yo Number written by Cynthia Turner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sage Hayes affectionately known as Sister Hey loved her job at Newfound Baptist Church in Sandersville. Newfound Missionary Baptist was the largest church in the area and was well known throughout the community for having good preaching, good singing, and delicious, southern style food. It seems as though everyone in the community knew each other or a family member. Sage was the kind of woman that loved attention and sought it in different ways. She worked with some of the most creative and innovative people at Newfound. Sage loved being a support system for the staff at Newfound, especially Daniel Morgan. Daniel was the creative mind behind the Yahweh Food Bank which fed more than 200 families every month with nutritious meals as well as The Lion's Den which provided health and dental screening to poverty stricken families. Tall, muscular, and handsome Daniel was a true Christian man who sought the Lord in every aspect of his life. Sage loved Daniel and would go to any length to be with him even if it meant going against her Christian principles. She desperately wanted to be Mrs. Daniel Morgan. Armed with help from her sister, Delphina, Sage came up with a plan to hook Daniel. However, Daniel was not going to play by Sage's rules. He was facing his own challenges and was not going to let Sage get the upper hand. So, when Sage's initial plan failed, she decided to concoct a more devious plan. Sage allowed her Christian values to be compromised by participating in a momentary indiscretion. Will she be able to find forgiveness, restoration and rejuvenation?
Download or read book Yo and Lo written by Rebecca Kukla and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of 20th-century philosophy approached metaphysical and epistemological issues through an analysis of language. This book demonstrates that non-declarative speech acts—including vocative hails (“Yo!”) and calls to shared attention (“Lo!”)—are as fundamental to the possibility and structure of meaningful language as are declaratives.
Download or read book Yo Mama written by Onwuchekwa Jemie and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collected primarily in metropolitan New York and Philadelphia during the classic era of black street poetry (i.e., during the late 1960s and early 1970s) these raps, signifyings, toasts, boasts, jokes and children's rhymes will delight general readers as well as scholars. Ranging from the simple rhymes that accompany children's games to verbally inventive insults and the epic exploits of traditional characters like Shine and Stagger Lee, these texts sound the deep rivers of culture, echoing two continents. Onwuchekwa Jemie's introductory essay situates them in a globally pan-African context and relates them to more recent forms of oral culture such as rap and spoken word.

Kantor critiques the treatment of queer figures and imagines a braver and bolder future that allows queer voices the agency over their own stories. Drawing upon elements of the Aristotelian dramatic structure and the Hero's Journey, Please Come Off-Book is both a love letter to and a scathing critique of American culture and the lenses we choose to see ourselves through.
Download or read book Yo Capeesh written by James G. Caridi and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2002-04-17 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yo Capeesh!!!! is a humorous, nostalgic, educational and sentimental guide to Italian Americana. It was written in a way that would appeal to many of the 25 million Italian Americans and those familiar with them. It is especially useful for those individuals smitten with the Italian American media. Using humor as its main focus, portions of the book are educational and can be used by all as a reference. It not only addresses Italian American heroes, songs and traditions but also phonetically and occasionally pictorially defines typical clichés, mannerisms, speech and food used in movies, TV and the stereotypical Italian American home. For those who are infatuated with the Mob, a chapter entitled “How the boys say it” explains many of the expressions and origins of organized crime vernacular. This chapter was included because of the somewhat crazed interest for this media genre and is sensitive to the majority of Italian Americans it does not represent. Briefly, Yo Capeesh!!!! is a whimsical, entertaining guide that has widespread appeal not only for Italian Americans but also for those who are interested in the allure and mystique of this unique and pervasive sub-culture.
