The Virginity of Famous Men
Author: Christine Sneed
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing USA
ISBN: 1620406950
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
The Virginity of Famous Men, award-winning story writer Christine Sneed's deeply perceptive collection on the human condition, features protagonists attempting to make peace with the choices--both personal and professional--they have so far made. In “The Prettiest Girls,” a location scout for a Hollywood film studio falls in love with a young Mexican woman who is more in love with the idea of stardom than with this older American man who takes her with him back to California. “Clear Conscience” focuses on the themes of family loyalty, divorce, motherhood, and whether “doing the right thing” is, in fact, always the right thing to do. In “Beach Vacation,” a mother realizes that her popular and coddled teenage son has become someone she has difficulty relating to, let alone loving with the same maternal fervor that once was second nature to her. The title story, “The Virginity of Famous Men,” explores family and fortune. Long intrigued by love and loneliness, Sneed leads readers through emotional landscapes both familiar and uncharted. These probing stories are explorations of the compassionate and passionate impulses that are inherent in--and often the source of--both abiding joy and serious distress in every human life.

The Book of Famous Iowans
Author: Douglas Bauer
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 1609382668
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Will Vaughn, a man of late middle age living in Chicago with his second wife, remembers the month of June 1957 in his hometown, the rural village of New Holland, Iowa. More precisely, Will remembers just a few days of that month and the quick sequence of astonishing events that have colored, ever since, the logic of his heart and the moods of his mind. He tells of his stunningly beautiful young mother, Leanne, who liked to recall the years of the Second World War, during which she sang with a dance band in a lounge in Cheyenne, Wyoming. He tells too of his father, Lewis, a soldier in the war who one night saw the “resplendently sequined” Leanne step onstage and began at that instant to plot his courtship of her. But mostly what Will summons up in his intimate remembrance are those few catastrophic days in early June when he was “three months shy of twelve,” more than a decade after his parents have married and returned to the Vaughns’ home place, where Lewis farms his family’s land. For it is during those days that Leanne’s affair with a local man named Bobby Markum becomes known—first to Lewis and then, in a fiercely dramatic public confrontation, to young Will, to his beloved Grandmother Vaughn, and by nightfall to all the citizens of the town. The knowledge of such scandal, in so small a place, sets off a series of highly charged reactions, vivid consequences that surely determine the fates of every member of this unforgettable family. A tale of memory and hero worship and the restless pulse of longing, The Book of Famous Iowans examines those forces that define not only a state made up of a physical geography, but more important, those states of the wholly human spirit.

WAKE ME UP WHEN I AM FAMOUS
Author: FERDINANDO FREGA
Publisher: FERDINANDO FREGA
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 75
Book Description
Every Justice is the child of its time, of the populations, of the educations, of the cultures and it often happened that in the past innocent people were convicted. A great contribution was made by the Church itself, imposing rules and mystifications at all times in the name of God, but in fact the will of the clergy, but it was a reality that despite time, did not help it to be forgotten or changed, it was only the hope for a new trend, modernity. Within the home, the couple faces a common problem, the origin of which is unknown, and as if by magic there is always the tendency to blame the husband, as if it were an automatic exercise of justice, the only scapegoat , but behind so many automatisms certainties often arise, and also unexpected exasperations. What for many years seemed like a general rule, upon entering a Courtroom, observing the writing above the highest bench where the Judge is sitting, "THE LAW IS THE SAME FOR ALL", has become a justice that overturns with actions, according to which the same patients must be treated equally and different patients can be treated differently if the differences are relevant to the treatment. A bit like saying, let me know how you feel today and I'll award your sentence, or how much your economic assets are and I'll give you a fair sentence, or how many employees you have in the factory, or your surname reminds me of someone, yes, I'm the grandson of……never say that you were taken by need this is the indication that you are nobody. It would be enough to remember major failures of Italian companies, always perpetrated by the same people, with different tasks and assignments, and to have noticed that the judicial findings were painless, almost to say sorry if we made you come here today, indeed in some cases new government positions with the salary tripled, but it is not an isolated case, just the luck of some mother's sons who have had this fate. In relation to some sentences, we recall the most sensational ones, such as the one involving an Honorable Member who emerged unharmed from twenty-five trials, from Rome but who was often in Palermo for a walk, thanks to the seaside area, and who kissed everyone he met their country just because he wanted to share his joy and emotional component with them. Then, as a flip side of the coin, you meet a poor wretch and unload all the anxieties towards him and the oppressions you have accumulated from the previous week, and by chance you find the crime of having milked two goats on the same day at the same time, and according to the interpretation of the Penal Code and the decision of a Judge represents a crime, and sentences him to one year in prison. Depicting Justice is an exercise common to many, but imagining it as a blindfolded goddess, scales and sword in hand, remains only in the idea of those who are mentally strong, only for those people who love to daydream.
