Reflections Through a Jaundiced Eye
Author: James McCurrach
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 149182932X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
Andrew is a troubled youth in search of direction. He finds himself groping to find his place in the face of numerous frustrations - frustrations that include trying to overcome a domineering Father who has very specific ideas about Andrew's future. In the midst of many social upheavals, Andrew must also deal with incipient homosexuality that later overtakes his life. Despite trying to throw over his Father's yoke, there is a residue of needing to please him and hope for his approval. Andrew's Mom had always thought that he would be a late bloomer and over time that would prove to be the accurate truth. Reflections had long been an inborn part of Andrew's personality and he would eventually find it cathartic to go back and explore all of it out loud and reflect on a varied and difficult past.

Reflections in a Jaundiced Eye
Author: Florence King
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1466816244
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
In this collection of essays, Florence King confirms her position as one of the wittiest social critics now writing-and certainly the most uninhibited. Nothing escapes her withering gaze, from our greatest national institution ("Democrazy"), to the cult of Helpism ("Does Your Child Taste Salty?"), to the rules of historical romance writing ("Sex and the Saxon Churl"). If caring 'n' compassion are getting you down, open this book for a refreshing whiff of vitriol.

Reflections of a Jaundiced Eye in Winter Bloom and the Tragedy of Adam and Eve
Author: Arthur Ruffino
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781539615613
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
From the Preface: "Reflections of a Jaundiced Eye in Winter Bloom is a collection of fleeting thoughts randomly written over a lifetime. Often, they were recorded on scraps of paper for later scrutiny. Sometimes, they were incorporated in travel diaries prompted by experiences of the time; occasionally, they were nascent musings awaiting later revisits. The compilation can be read leisurely and selectively since continuity is not requisite. The work is aimed at readers who enjoy browsing through witticisms, quips, aphorisms, and axioms. It is assumed that readers may not share the author's views-or even appreciate some of the attempts at sardonic humor-but agreement is not in order. What is important is the willingness to screen another person's vision of this thing we call 'life'." The Tragedy of Adam and Eve is a one-act play. It is an imaginary domestic drama about the apocryphal first family.

Book Description
“America is a land of wonders, in which everything is in constant motion and every change seems an improvement.... No natural boundary seems to be set to the efforts of man; and in his eyes what is not yet done is only what he has not yet attempted to do”—Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America (1835). “Americans will pay a big price for an invention that will help them save time they don’t know what to do with”—Anonymous. This collection of quotations—both serious and humorous—about America is divided into 19 main topics: The Nation, The American People, Places, Nature, Mind, The Individual, Human Relations, Social Life, Culture and Media, Literature and Language, Religion and Belief, Past and Future, History, War and the Military, International Relations, Politics and Government, Law and Order, Business and Economy, and Food. Each main topic is divided into subtopics; for example, “Culture and Media” has these: Architecture, Art, Charlie Chaplin, Dance, Fashion, Intellectuals, Marilyn Monroe, Movies, Music, Elvis Presley, and Television. The author attributes each quote to its speaker, author or composer, and wherever possible, provides the date of the quote and the name of the work in which it was published. In the case of uncertainty about the exact date of a quote, the author provides the birth and death dates of the person to whom the quote is attributed. Also included are a keyword and subject index and a speaker index.
