At Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream
Author: Wade Rouse
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307451917
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
We all dream about it, but Wade Rouse actually did it. Discover his journey to live the simple life in this hilarious memoir. Finally fed up with the frenzy of city life and a job he hates, Wade Rouse decided to make either the bravest decision of his life or the worst mistake since his botched Ogilvie home perm: to uproot his life and try, as Thoreau did some 160 years earlier, to "live a plain, simple life in radically reduced conditions." In this rollicking and hilarious memoir, Wade and his partner, Gary, leave culture, cable, and consumerism behind and strike out for rural Michigan—a place with fewer people than in their former spinning class. There, Wade discovers the simple life isn’t so simple. Battling blizzards, bloodthirsty critters, and nosy neighbors equipped with night-vision goggles, Wade and his spirit, sanity, relationship, and Kenneth Cole pointy-toed boots are sorely tested with humorous and humiliating frequency. And though he never does learn where his well water actually comes from or how to survive without Kashi cereal, he does discover some things in the woods outside his knotty-pine cottage in Saugatuck, Michigan, that he always dreamed of but never imagined he’d find–happiness and a home. At Least in the City Someone Would Hear Me Scream is a sidesplitting and heartwarming look at taking a risk, fulfilling a dream, and finding a home–with very thick and very dark curtains.

Book Description
A ruthlessly addicting and terrifyingly twisted story of a family stuck on a secluded mountain at the mercy of an obsessed fan of the woman. It started as a vacation of a lifetime. Jennifer Parker is a successful lifestyle YouTuber living in a beautiful home outside Los Angeles with her three children. She recently divorced her husband of eighteen years and dove right into a new relationship despite her children's disapproval. Jennifer's boyfriend, Tyler, is a middle school English teacher and a mama's boy. To prove to Jennifer that he can be as macho as her ex-husband, he presents the idea of going on an off-the-grid vacation in a yurt in Montana. The idea of not having cell phone reception and running water for days doesn't appeal to Jennifer. Yet, she agrees to the trip because she considers this unique retreat an opportunity for her children to connect with her boyfriend. Most of Jennifer's subscribers are excited about following their favorite online vlogger on an adventure in the wilderness, while others see her vacation as the perfect opportunity to get close to her and act out their twisted fantasies. Alone on the mountain, where no one can hear her scream, Jennifer realizes that it wasn't the deep, dark woods she had to fear.

A Scream Goes Through the House
Author: Arnold Weinstein
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 0307430464
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
“For too long we have been encouraged to see culture as an affair of intellect, and reading as a solitary exercise. But the truth is different: literature and art are pathways of feeling, and our encounter with them is social, inscribing us in a larger community.... Through art we discover that we are not alone.” So writes the esteemed Brown University professor Arnold Weinstein in this brilliant, radical exploration of Western literature. In the tradition of Harold Bloom and Jacques Barzun, Weinstein guides us through great works of art, to reveal how literature constitutes nothing less than a feast for the heart. Our encounter with literature and art can be a unique form of human connection, an entry into the storehouse of feeling. Writing about works by Sophocles, Shakespeare, Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, Munch, Proust, O’Neill, Burroughs, DeLillo, Tony Kushner, Toni Morrison, and others, Weinstein explores how writers and artists give us a vision of what human life is really all about. Reading is an affair of the heart as well as of the mind, deepening our sense of the fundamental forces and emotions that govern our lives, including fear, pain, illness, loss, depression, death, and love. Provocative, beautifully written, essential, A Scream Goes Through the House traces the human cry that echoes in literature through the ages, demonstrating how intense feelings are heard and shared. With intellectual insight and emotional acumen, Weinstein reveals how the scream that resounds through the house of literature, history, the body, and the family shows us who we really are and joins us together in a vast and timeless community.

Chasing the Scream
Author: Johann Hari
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1620408929
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
The New York Times Bestseller What if everything you think you know about addiction is wrong? Johann Hari's journey into the heart of the war on drugs led him to ask this question--and to write the book that gave rise to his viral TED talk, viewed more than 62 million times, and inspired the feature film The United States vs. Billie Holiday and the documentary series The Fix. One of Johann Hari's earliest memories is of trying to wake up one of his relatives and not being able to. As he grew older, he realized he had addiction in his family. Confused, not knowing what to do, he set out and traveled over 30,000 miles over three years to discover what really causes addiction--and what really solves it. He uncovered a range of remarkable human stories--of how the war on drugs began with Billie Holiday, the great jazz singer, being stalked and killed by a racist policeman; of the scientist who discovered the surprising key to addiction; and of the countries that ended their own war on drugs--with extraordinary results. Chasing the Scream is the story of a life-changing journey that transformed the addiction debate internationally--and showed the world that the opposite of addiction is connection.

Where No One Can Hear You Scream
Author: Sarah McInerney
Publisher: Gill
ISBN: 9780717143573
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Since 1925, a startling number of young women have been found dead in the Dublin-Wicklow Mountains. The small winding roads, the dense foliage and the isolation have combined to make the area a favourite burial ground amongst murderers. A number of women have also disappeared in the vicinity in recent years, and it is widely speculated that they too lie in unmarked graves in the mountains. There are many who believe that at least one serial killer has used the mountains to bury his victims. Starting with the death of prostitute Honor Bright, Where No One Can Hear You Scream examines in detail cases such as the murder in Christmas 1979 of Phyllis Murphy, whose killer John Crerar was convicted over 20 years later after advances in DNA. It also looks at the unsolved murders of Anthoinette Smith in 1987 and Patricia Doherty in 1991. The women's bodies were found within a mile of one another, prompting speculation that they were killed by the same person. In December 1994 a young woman was brutally raped by two men on Powerscourt Mountain. Sarah McInerney examins this horrific case and the trial of the men involved. She also looks at the sexual assault cases involving Philip Colgan, Larry Murphy and Robert Quigley: three dangerous men whose brutal impulses had horrific repercussions for their victims. Once again the common thread linking all these cases is the bleak backdrop of the Wicklow Mountains. With the assistance of the Garda�, and the families concerned, Where No One Can Hear You Scream describes these and other cases with compassion and honesty. And through it all, the Dublin-Wicklow Mountains, which have been host to so much violence and horror and death, loom large.

American Scream
Author: Jonah Raskin
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520939349
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Written as a cultural weapon and a call to arms, Howl touched a raw nerve in Cold War America and has been controversial from the day it was first read aloud nearly fifty years ago. This first full critical and historical study of Howl brilliantly elucidates the nexus of politics and literature in which it was written and gives striking new portraits of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William Burroughs. Drawing from newly released psychiatric reports on Ginsberg, from interviews with his psychiatrist, Dr. Philip Hicks, and from the poet's journals, American Scream shows how Howl brought Ginsberg and the world out of the closet of a repressive society. It also gives the first full accounting of the literary figures—Eliot, Rimbaud, and Whitman—who influenced Howl, definitively placing it in the tradition of twentieth-century American poetry for the first time. As he follows the genesis and the evolution of Howl, Jonah Raskin constructs a vivid picture of a poet and an era. He illuminates the development of Beat poetry in New York and San Francisco in the 1950s--focusing on historic occasions such as the first reading of Howl at Six Gallery in San Francisco in 1955 and the obscenity trial over the poem's publication. He looks closely at Ginsberg's life, including his relationships with his parents, friends, and mentors, while he was writing the poem and uses this material to illuminate the themes of madness, nakedness, and secrecy that pervade Howl. A captivating look at the cultural climate of the Cold War and at a great American poet, American Scream finally tells the full story of Howl—a rousing manifesto for a generation and a classic of twentieth-century literature.

Why Are We Yelling?
Author: Buster Benson
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0525540105
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Have you ever walked away from an argument and suddenly thought of all the brilliant things you wish you'd said? Do you avoid certain family members and colleagues because of bitter, festering tension that you can't figure out how to address? Now, finally, there's a solution: a new framework that frees you from the trap of unproductive conflict and pointless arguing forever. If the threat of raised voices, emotional outbursts, and public discord makes you want to hide under the conference room table, you're not alone. Conflict, or the fear of it, can be exhausting. But as this powerful book argues, conflict doesn't have to be unpleasant. In fact, properly channeled, conflict can be the most valuable tool we have at our disposal for deepening relationships, solving problems, and coming up with new ideas.

Have you ever walked away from an argument and suddenly thought of all the brilliant things you wish you'd said? Do you avoid certain family members and colleagues because of bitter, festering tension that you can't figure out how to address? Now, finally, there's a solution: a new framework that frees you from the trap of unproductive conflict and pointless arguing forever. If the threat of raised voices, emotional outbursts, and public discord makes you want to hide under the conference room table, you're not alone. Conflict, or the fear of it, can be exhausting. But as this powerful book argues, conflict doesn't have to be unpleasant. In fact, properly channeled, conflict can be the most valuable tool we have at our disposal for deepening relationships, solving problems, and coming up with new ideas.
