Book Description
Micki’s Journal is about words of spiritual wisdom, a request to God for spiritual guidance for her as an earthly living angel at the time. Life is made up of what the author calls God’s army of earthly angels. I am sure many reading this can think of such a person in their past or present life who fits this title. This author describes his earthly angel as being his wife and best friend of nearly fifty years. During her last few years, before dementia entered her life, the author was able to collect short quips she wrote left around the house. It wasn’t till after she was called home that the author uncovered many caches of spiritual quips on pieces of scrap paper she’d written on and cutouts in her teenage notebook, a journal, several used Bibles, books, daily devotionals, and an old Bible study of Psalms 23, her favorite study. How brave she was and unafraid to wait for God’s calling for her to come home. Six months after her passing, her own handwritten prayer was discovered “To Those I Love,” which you will find in the book. One of her best friends wrote, “Micki was the most Christian woman I’ve ever known.” The author wants the readers of this book to know all proceeds will go to Micki’s favorite children’s charities in her name.

The Life Swap
Author: Nancy Weber
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1504015312
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
In February of 1973, Nancy Weber put an ad in the Village Voice offering to trade places with another woman, a stranger, for a month. In hopes of better understanding what was fixed and final in each person—and what was invented, and therefore might be reinvented—they would use each other’s names, live in each other’s homes, love each other’s loves, and do each other’s work. After interviewing many of the fascinating women who answered the ad, Weber—single (with a longtime lover) and straight—chose a polyamorous, bisexual, married psychologist and academic, the pseudonymous Micki Wrangler. They spent five months getting ready for their adventure—cajoling their nearest and dearest into participating, exchanging thousands of details, and swapping deep secrets. But, instead of a month, their wild ride lasted only a week. Wrangler was having a rough time (and Weber too good a time, maybe) so they decided to call things off. Wanting The Life Swap to convey more than her own experience, Weber invited Wrangler and ten others to enrich the book with their uncensored reports. Publicity for the book included stints on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and To Tell the Truth. The book achieved a kind of cult status, in part because it’s a relic of 1970s sexual openness (cruelly destroyed by HIV/AIDS) and belief in the right of self-invention. Recent critics have credited the book with inspiring life swap reality TV shows and several popular novels and films.

Comics in French
Author: Laurence Grove
Publisher: Berghahn Books
ISBN: 9781845455880
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Whereas in English-speaking countries comics are for children or adults 'who should know better', in France and Belgium the form is recognized as the 'Ninth Art' and follows in the path of poetry, architecture, painting and cinema. The bande dessinée [comic strip] has its own national institutions, regularly obtains front-page coverage and has received the accolades of statesmen from De Gaulle onwards. On the way to providing a comprehensive introduction to the most francophone of cultural phenomena, this book considers national specificity as relevant to an anglophone reader, whilst exploring related issues such as text/image expression, historical precedents and sociological implication. To do so it presents and analyses priceless manuscripts, a Franco- American rodent, Nazi propaganda, a museum-piece urinal, intellectual gay porn and a prehistoric warrior who's really Zinedine Zidane.

Comics and Novelization
Author: Benoît Glaude
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000874400
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
This book opens a novel perspective on comics and literature interactions. It claims that the two artistic media have always maintained a mutual emulation, for as long as they have coexisted in media culture. To demonstrate this, the present research does not focus on literary adaptations in comics form but rather on a literary corpus that remains virtually unexplored: comics-related novels. The purpose of this volume is to inventory French comics-related novels and to study them. Within the limits of the French-speaking world, this book pieces together a literary history of bande dessinée through its novels, from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. Although the comic strip – including the aptly named "graphic novel" – has sometimes been regarded as the disciple of an unsurpassable literary model, do these under-studied adaptations in novel form not rather indicate a mutual relationship, or even an emulation, between the two media?
