Corporate Kingdom in Animal World!
Author: Sudeep Satheesan
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1638065837
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Can a Donkey be cross-skilled to gallop in a horse race, and a Doberman to carry the burden of a Donkey? Why not? Can a sword and a battle axe be recruited to cut pumpkins and jackfruits? Sure. How about an irresolute Rhino King repeatedly fault a docile and easy ‘bakra’ (goat) even for mistakes committed by old-timer Macaques and unruly Chihuahuas? Well, anything is possible if it’s a Corporate World! Corporate Kingdom in Animal World! is an assortment of short stories about quirky, farcical and ludicrous facets of the professional world, depicted in an arena of animals, birds, weapons, and even humans. It all culminates in an allegory on the advent of democracy aka Animocracy, where a monarchy of lions is cunningly toppled by a democratic, hodgepodge alliance of pernicious pigs, blabbering baboons and bribe-mongering monkeys.

Joe Wilmot can't stand his wife Elizabeth. But he sure loves her movie theater. It's a modest establishment in a beat-down town--but Joe has the run of the place, and inside its walls, he's king. Without the theater, he'd be sunk. Without his leadership, the theater would close in a heartbeat. If it isn't the life Joe imagined for himself, at the very least, it's livable. Everything changes when Joe falls for the housemaid Carol, and the two can't keep it a secret from Elizabeth. Elizabeth won't leave Joe the theater unless he provides for her...but he's put all his money into the show house. Carol and Joe's only hope is the life insurance policies they've taken out on each other. If one of them were to be presumed dead, they'd have more than enough money to solve all their problems... No one knows murder better than Jim Thompson and in this incisive foray into the dark dealings of the mid-20th century movie industry, he doesn't disappoint, in the riveting story of a love triangle gone horribly wrong, and just how far one man will go to hold on to a desperate dream.

Let's Hear Their Voices
Author: Iraida H. López
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438477104
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
Let's Hear Their Voices brings together works by ten distinguished and emerging Cuban American writers of the "second generation"—writers who were born between 1960 and the mid-1980s in the United States to Cuban parents or have a mixed ethnic background. Called "ABCs" (American-Born Cubans) or "AmeriCubans," these writers experiment with different formal approaches and lace their work with Cuban Spanish to give voice to hybrid identities and cultural legacies within the contemporary multicultural United States. An introduction by Iraida H. López identifies key tropes in their poetry, prose, and drama, and provides an overview of Cuban American literature since the 1960s. With both original and previously published pieces by award-winning authors—including President Obama's Second Inaugural Poet, Richard Blanco—the volume makes a welcome contribution to the fields of Latinx and American literature, as well as critical discussions across disciplines about the intersections of latinidad with race, class, gender, and sexuality.

Carl Silverman, and Amanda Worthington, both seventeen, dating, in love and loving their school life, have their world turned upside down when a virus--known as the Odoru (dancing) virus--spreads throughout their city of Routeville, Illinois, turning ninety percent of the population into zombies. Only ten percent are immune, Carl and Amanda among them. Their parents became victims, and the young teens escape with the help of an older couple, Grover Plover and Genevieve Gray.

They also have to contend with an incompetent city manager named Griffin who refuses to help. Things get bad when the Rodriguez trio dies in a battle. Worse, a more intelligent zombie--King Zombie--emerges, leading the undead in disciplined attacks.

Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight
Author: Alexandra Fuller
Publisher: Random House Trade Paperbacks
ISBN: 0375758992
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A worthy heir to Isak Dinesen and Beryl Markham, Alexandra Fuller shares visceral memories of her childhood in Africa, and of her headstrong, unforgettable mother. “This is not a book you read just once, but a tale of terrible beauty to get lost in over and over.”—Newsweek “By turns mischievous and openhearted, earthy and soaring . . . hair-raising, horrific, and thrilling.”—The New Yorker Though it is a diary of an unruly life in an often inhospitable place, Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight is suffused with Fuller’s endearing ability to find laughter, even when there is little to celebrate. Fuller’s debut is unsentimental and unflinching but always captivating. In wry and sometimes hilarious prose, she stares down disaster and looks back with rage and love at the life of an extraordinary family in an extraordinary time. From 1972 to 1990, Alexandra Fuller—known to friends and family as Bobo—grew up on several farms in southern and central Africa. Her father joined up on the side of the white government in the Rhodesian civil war, and was often away fighting against the powerful black guerilla factions. Her mother, in turn, flung herself at their African life and its rugged farm work with the same passion and maniacal energy she brought to everything else. Though she loved her children, she was no hand-holder and had little tolerance for neediness. She nurtured her daughters in other ways: She taught them, by example, to be resilient and self-sufficient, to have strong wills and strong opinions, and to embrace life wholeheartedly, despite and because of difficult circumstances. And she instilled in Bobo, particularly, a love of reading and of storytelling that proved to be her salvation. Alexandra Fuller writes poignantly about a girl becoming a woman and a writer against a backdrop of unrest, not just in her country but in her home. But Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight is more than a survivor’s story. It is the story of one woman’s unbreakable bond with a continent and the people who inhabit it, a portrait lovingly realized and deeply felt. Praise for Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight “Riveting . . . [full of] humor and compassion.”—O: The Oprah Magazine “The incredible story of an incredible childhood.”—The Providence Journal
