Pages : 235
Book Description
They come into our homes. They see us in our most fragile moments. Plumbers are a fixture in our lives. When a toilet clogs, a faucet leaks, or a sewer line plugs, we call those unsung heroes, desperately seeking help. They scoop out our poop and pull underwear, toothbrushes and cotton balls out of our toilets, doing whatever it takes to get the job done. On a late Wednesday evening, after my toilet clogged, I asked our plumber to share his top five “greatest hits.” The stories were so hilarious, I had to share them with the world. The Poop Diaries features true stories told by my plumber, and many other plumbers, about the most memorable service jobs they have worked on and most unique people they have helped. Whether it’s nudity, rats, fake vaginas, dildos, snakes, weapons and so much more, these plumbers have seen and smelled it all.

An important book, sorely needed’ CAROL LEIGH 'An unflinching takedown of inadequate working conditions ...

Book Description
After a heart wrenching childhood of family turmoil, pain and distrust in Central Miami, Keisha "Dior" Floyd invites us all into her very real world of little girls who grow up to become dancers. Not ballet, rodeo or salsa dancers, but professional strippers-women who dance for hardcore cash in late-night strip clubs. And in Keisha's international, model-haven home of Miami, Florida, the competition is always steep. So Keisha becomes Dior-a family nickname of sassiness and fast maturity-as she investigates the lifestyles of exotic entertainers with pretty faces and wicked bodies before she falls right into the fray of getting paid for fantasy and lust. But then the stripping becomes tricking, and customers become predators, and the dream of fast money becomes an addictive nightmare-all while Dior struggles to keep her leveled head above the shark waters. But enough said. Read it all for yourself. And find out how she survived to write about it.

The Mars Room
Author: Rachel Kushner
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1476756600
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
TIME’S #1 FICTION TITLE OF THE YEAR • NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018 FINALIST for the MAN BOOKER PRIZE and the NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD LONGLISTED for the ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL An instant New York Times bestseller from two-time National Book Award finalist Rachel Kushner, The Mars Room earned tweets from Margaret Atwood—“gritty, empathic, finely rendered, no sugar toppings, and a lot of punches, none of them pulled”—and from Stephen King—“The Mars Room is the real deal, jarring, horrible, compassionate, funny.” It’s 2003 and Romy Hall, named after a German actress, is at the start of two consecutive life sentences at Stanville Women’s Correctional Facility, deep in California’s Central Valley. Outside is the world from which she has been severed: her young son, Jackson, and the San Francisco of her youth. Inside is a new reality: thousands of women hustling for the bare essentials needed to survive; the bluffing and pageantry and casual acts of violence by guards and prisoners alike; and the deadpan absurdities of institutional living, portrayed with great humor and precision. Stunning and unsentimental, The Mars Room is “wholly authentic…profound…luminous” (The Wall Street Journal), “one of those books that enrage you even as they break your heart” (The New York Times Book Review, cover review)—a spectacularly compelling, heart-stopping novel about a life gone off the rails in contemporary America. It is audacious and tragic, propulsive and yet beautifully refined and “affirms Rachel Kushner as one of our best novelists” (Entertainment Weekly).
