Salvation of a Serial Celibate
Author: Gregory McAllister
Publisher: CreateSpace
ISBN: 9781484158050
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
Greg McAllister's Salvation of a Serial Celibate is an Irish Catholic hero's journey, marked by the three mysteries of the rosary he recited faithfully as a child. As a young man, he enters the secreted, all-boys world of a Catholic seminary, but after nine years, crosses his fingers during the oath of celibacy and bolts from seminary and church. Moving into San Francisco's burgeoning Haight Ashbury, he blunders into an unexpected pregnancy, a devastating heartbreak, and a life-threatening LSD trip, eventually waking up naked and sore in a padded cell, accused of assaulting a police officer and attempted murder. This is a raw spiritual odyssey, told with refreshing honesty, deep feeling, and mischievous humor; an emotional, and philosophical roller coaster ride down the naive idealism of the '50s, into the jarring chaos, disillusionment, and rebellion of the '60s."

The Great Detective
Author: Zach Dundas
Publisher: HMH
ISBN: 054422020X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 341
Book Description
A rollicking look at popular culture’s most beloved sleuth: “For even the casual fan, the history of this deathless character is fascinating” (The Boston Globe). Today he is the inspiration for fiction adaptations, blockbuster movies, hit television shows, raucous Twitter banter, and thriving subcultures. More than a century after Sherlock Holmes first capered into our world, what is it about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s peculiar creation that continues to fascinate us? Journalist and lifelong Sherlock fan Zach Dundas set out to find the answer. The result is The Great Detective: a history of an idea, a biography of someone who never lived, a tour of the borderland between reality and fiction, and a joyful romp through the world Conan Doyle bequeathed us. In this “wonderful book” (Booklist, starred review), Dundas unearths the inspirations behind Holmes and his indispensable companion, Dr. John Watson; explores how they have been kept alive over the decades by writers, actors, and readers; and visits locales—from the boozy annual New York City gathering of one of the world’s oldest and most exclusive Sherlock Holmes fan societies; to a freezing Devon heath out of The Hound of the Baskervilles; to sunny Pasadena, where Dundas chats with the creators of the smash BBC series Sherlock. Along the way, he discovers the ingredients that have made Holmes go viral—then, now, and as long as the game’s afoot.

Pages : 322
Book Description
Welcome to Grand Prairie, Louisiana—land of confounding accents, hard-drinking senior citizens, and charming sinners—brought to hilarious life in a bracing, heartfelt debut novel simmering with Cajun spice. . . Father Steve Sibille has come home to the bayou to take charge of St. Pete's church. Among his challenges are teenybopper altar girls, insomnia-curing confessions, and alarmingly alluring congregant Vicky Carrier. Then there's Miss Rita, an irrepressible centenarian with a taste for whiskey, cracklins, and sticking her nose in other people's business. When an outsider threatens to poach Father Steve's flock, Miss Rita suggests he fight back by staging an event that will keep St. Pete's parishioners loyal forever.

"A sparkling debut." --Luis Alberto Urrea, author of Queen of America "Delightful. . ..Wheaton writes with an infectious energy, and his affection for the characters and culture is authentic." --Publishers Weekly
