Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 182
Book Description
Alma Winklegrin's Lower Denture Is Missing is an eclectic collection of short stories and prose works covering a wide variety of humorous and serious subjects as illustrated by titles such as: § Adversity University § A Ride With Grandma § Return Of The Warrior § Apology To A Dead Enemy § Spillane Revisited An excerpt from the short story "A Moment In The Sun" portrays the author's poetic style--"He had come to think, to be alone, and let his mind wander, to heal a recent hurt, to feel the bleak disconsolation of a momentary despair..." R. R. Roper experiments with unusual variations of fiction ranging from stories that are all dialog to stories that are all narration, a short play, reminiscences, and stories which could be categorized more as tales than short stories. The characters portrayed are truly defined by their very personal idiosyncrasies.

Fool on the Hill
Author: Matt Ruff
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.
ISBN: 0802193625
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 411
Book Description
From the author of Lovecraft Country: Myth and reality collide on a college campus “in a comic fantasy of wonderful energy, invention, and generosity of spirit” (Alison Lurie). Stephen Titus George is a young writer-in-residence at Cornell University in upstate New York. A bestselling author in search of a new story, he sees his life as a modern-day fairy tale starring himself as a would-be knight trying to woo a lovely maiden—or, actually, two: the bewitching Calliope and his guiding light, Aurora Borealis Smith. But he’s not quite in control of the narrative. There’s another writer with even greater influence on campus. The unseen Mr. Sunshine is an eternal, semi-retired deity who’s been fashioning his own story for centuries. He has all his characters in place: dragons, sprites, gnomes, and villains. And now, finally, his hero. As Mr. Sunshine’s world comes to fabulous and violent life, how can Stephen decide his own fate if it’s already being plotted by a god? An epic of life and death, good and evil, love and sorcery, Fool on the Hill lands Matt Ruff happily on the shelf between Tom Robbins and J. R. R. Tolkien for every lover of the “funky and fantastical” (New York magazine). “Inspired . . . rich in flavorful language . . . [a] dazzling tour de force.” —San Francisco Chronicle “The plot comes together like a brilliant clockwork toy.” —Locus

Doc Holliday in Film and Literature
Author: Shirley Ayn Linder
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476603308
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 199
Book Description
The legend of Doc Holliday is now well past a century old. While his time on earth was brief, troubled and filled with pain, his legend took wings and flew. Beginning with his part in the now famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral, Denver newspapers first told his story in the late 19th century. They, followed by words of Wyatt Earp, grasped the glimmer of his tale. So enamored was the public that by 1939 he was a literary icon and his character had appeared in eight films. Historians, authors, screenwriters and eventually television refined the legend, which reached its apex perhaps with the 1993 film Tombstone. Doc Holliday's image has neither dimmed nor wavered in the 21st century. Broadway, country music and art join with literature and film to continue his mystique as the personification of a surviving legend of the U.S. West.
