Book Description
Aurora Award Finalist. We all have things we hide inside — secrets, fears, aspects of ourselves we keep locked away. Or try to. In that respect, the characters we meet in IMPOSSIBILIA are like any of us. They have things inside them too. Only their things are a little...different. A dead wife that won’t leave. A wolf with a past. The secret to being the luckiest man alive. And through all the stories, these characters share one more thing beyond what they hold inside. In the decisions they face, in the choices they make, they do what they do out of love. Lost love, found love, the love of their child. But love. So maybe they aren’t that different from us after all. “Doug Smith is, quite simply, the finest short-story writer Canada has ever produced in the science fiction and fantasy genres... His stories are a treasure trove of riches that will touch your heart while making you think.” —Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author “One of Canada's most original writers of speculative fiction.” —Library Journal "A great storyteller with a gifted and individual voice.” —Charles de Lint, World Fantasy Award winner

Counting Down Bruce Springsteen

Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442230665
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
This ultimate playlist for fans of the Boss “makes for great debate among friends” (Asbury Park Press). For decades, Bruce Springsteen has held center stage as the quintessential American rock and roll artist, expressing the hopes and dreams of the American everyman (and woman) through his vast array of insightful and inspirational songs. In Counting Down Bruce Springsteen, rock writer Jim Beviglia dares to rank his finest songs in descending order from the 100th to his #1 greatest song. He also reflects on why each song has earned its place on the list, and lays out the story behind each of the 100, supplying fresh insights on the musical and lyrical content of Springsteen’s remarkable body of work—in a compelling read for the diehard fan or the newbie just getting acquainted with the Boss. “Many of Springsteen’s most popular songs are here, and rightly so, but so are just as many of his obscure ones . . . Of course, Springsteen fans will shake their collective heads in disagreement at times, but that’s part of the fun.” —Booklist “Beviglia has created so much more than a list . . . If you have ever seen Springsteen perform live in concert, those musical memories will all come rushing back as your turn the pages.” —Osceola News Gazette
