Book Description
Try if you will, to imagine a time when automobiles were virtual bars, DWI roadblocks were in their infancy and MADD's mothers were still in utero. A time when "impaired" drivers were not vilified and hunted down like wild animals, but praised and admired for their deftness, agility, and multitasking ability. Ah my friends, but not so many years ago such an era did exist! Herein lies the tales of the brave young men who took to their vehicles, beer can in hand, fearing nothing but incompetent sober drivers and the occasional moving telephone pole.

Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly what constitutes American, since the United States is such a melting pot, but this collection of nine short stories does capture the American experience. Perhaps diversity is what makes Great New American Short Stories so good.Voyles' stories are about the rich, the poor, the educated, the street-smart. They are written from a wide variety of experiences. For instance, one story is a witty tale of a quiet man's revenge on a nosy neighbor, while another is a lottery-winning man's revenge on his nagging wife. What if you found a suitcase full of money? What if you came face-to-face with someone you'd just vented your road rage upon? What if you were a prisoner in quarantine? In Me and Frank Cash at Camp Goode, the author writes about one man's experience in South Korea while in the Army. In The Rosebush, a woman's favorite adopted daughter dies unexpectedly. The mother plants a rosebush by her daughter's grave and tends to it lovingly. The story is told from another daughter's point of view.Voyles writes with the authenticity of the characters in mind.

The tiny hamlet of Maravilla, New Mexico is not immune to modern-day problems. But the citizens of Maravilla have their own special problems, as well: A developer wants to build a Christian-themed amusement park next to Maravilla’s historic church.

She Was Like That
Author: Kate Walbert
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476799458
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
A New York Times Notable Book of 2019 selection, a New York Times Editors’ Choice book, and longlisted for the Story Prize—from the bestselling, highly acclaimed National Book Award nominee, She Was Like That is a “piercing, intimate, and exquisite” (Publishers Weekly) collection of new and selected stories that capture “the joys and anxieties of motherhood” (Star Tribune, Minneapolis). In these twelve deft, acutely funny, and often heartbreaking stories, “Walbert captures with an unusual combination of restraint and rhapsody” (The New York Times) the questions women ask themselves and the definitions assigned to them as wives, mothers, and daughters. Her characters are searchers, uneasy in one way or another. They yearn for connection. In the riveting opening story “M&M World,” a woman is plunged into panic when she briefly loses one of her daughters at the vast and over-stimulating Times Square store. In “Slow the Heart,” a single mother tries to ease tension at the dinner table with Roses and Thorns, the game she knows the Obamas played in the White House. In “Radical Feminists,” a woman skating with her two children encounters the man who derailed her career years earlier. And in the poignant, “A Mother Is Someone Who Tells Jokes,” a mother reflects on the nursery school project that preceded her son’s autism diagnosis. This is a deeply moving, resonant collection from a writer “rightly celebrated for her ability to capture the variety and vulnerability of women’s lives with a combination of lyricism and brawn” (NPR).
