Much to Your Chagrin
Author: Suzanne Guillette
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416586024
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 433
Book Description
People who don't have embarrassing stories are untrustworthy. Or at the very least, they aren't telling the truth. -- Suzanne Guillette By your own definition, you are very, very trustworthy. After all, you are the kind of person who spills pasta sauce down the shirt of a famous writer you're trying to impress. You are the girl who, when taking a new mentor out for a fancy lunch, forgets to bring cash -- or a backup credit card. You are almost thirty, an unemployed writer, recently un-engaged from your fiancŽ of several years, and in all your naivetŽ can't foresee that mixing the personal and the professional will bring you mortifyingly disastrous results. You are Suzanne Guillette, the author of Much to Your Chagrin, a smart, hilarious memoir of how chronicling the humiliations of others helped her come to understand and accept herself. Guillette was twenty-nine and the proud owner of a freshly inked MFA when she began to work on her first book -- a collection of embarrassing moments gathered from family, friends, coworkers, and strangers on the street. Stories poured in about every possible type of gaffe, from wardrobe malfunctions (widespread) to romantic misunderstandings (ditto), and from office faux pas (common) to bodily fluid mishaps (distressingly common). Everyone Guillette talked to was enthusiastic about her clever project -- and no one more so than Jack, the wry, handsome literary agent who Guillette thought might just be her soul mate. But as time marched on, Guillette began to see that the tales she'd been gathering were nothing compared to her own moments of shame. Like her increasingly frequent need to sneak out of work (at a health agency, natch) for a "quick smoke" to settle her nerves. Or her stubborn ability to ignore the reality that her fairy-tale romance with Jack was imploding in a truly spectacular fashion. When Guillette accepted that the story she was meant to tell was not others' but her own, Much to Your Chagrin was born. Told in a unique and captivating voice, punctuated by the embarrassing stories she collected, Much to Your Chagrin follows one woman's discovery of what it's like to finally feel comfortable in your own skin (even while accidentally exposing yourself to your elderly neighbors). Raw, honest, and brilliantly funny, it is an extremely personal memoir about the lengths to which we human beings sometimes go to conceal the parts of ourselves that we are least willing to admit are true. Forget the stuff we keep from the world -- it's what we hide from ourselves that is of greatest consequence. What is your most embarrassing moment?

A Room Full of Light
Author: FJ Rocca
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 132921482X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
In this probing novel, FJ Rocca examines the phenomenon of the idiot-savant, in this case, a mentally handicapped young man who is a genius with a paintbrush or a lump of charcoal. While he may not possess ordinary language and speech, he speaks through his paintings. They are more than pictures. They are conversations of imagery through which he interprets the world he sees. His talent clashes with a would-be painter who cannot tolerate the contrast of brilliance and mediocrity; while a famous psychiatrist searches to discover a way to help him survive and find the light. His talent gives hope to his mother, who wants only to open a window into that room full of light she knows is inside his mind. But hope is a two-edged sword that can cut its way through the heart of its holder.

Carpenter's Gothic
Author: William Gaddis
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0141182229
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
This story of raging comedy and despair centers on the tempestuous marriage of an heiress and a Vietnam veteran. From their "carpenter gothic" rented house, Paul sets himself up as a media consultant for Reverend Ude, an evangelist mounting a grand crusade that conveniently suits a mining combine bidding to take over an ore strike on the site of Ude's African mission. At the still center of the breakneck action--revealed in Gaddis's inimitable virtuoso dialoge—is Paul's wife, Liz, and over it all looms the shadowy figure of McCandless, a geologist from whom Paul and Liz rent their house. As Paul mishandles the situation, his wife takes the geologist to her bed and a fire and aborted assassination occur; Ude issues a call to arms as harrowing as any Jeremiad--and Armageddon comes rapidly closer. Displaying Gaddis's inimitable virtuoso dialogue, and his startling treatments of violence and sexuality, Carpenter's Gothic "shows again that Gaddis is among the first rank of contemporary American writers" (Malcolm Bradbury, The Washington Post Book World).

Pages : 201
Book Description
INTRODUCTION The following literature was derived from when I was younger and making attempts to be in love only to grow older and realize that all along, I was only in love with a thought. I was in love with the idea of being in love, just imagining the cozy comforting feelings of all the elements that love possesses within one's heart shared with another. Desires to fulfill the urges inside of M3 that wanted so vulnerably to care for a young lady demonstrating the actions of a gentleman, being that I am a girl, I call myself a Gentlewoman. I live to provide for special ladies in my life. The affectionate compassion of my hearts' mentality is only to show that there is good in relationships, there is love in hearts, there are truths in words and there is trust in promises. Though my intentions were miraculous, I've been taking for granted, branded and broken down, but stand strong to this day; you'll be Auhmazed to hear through it all, what I've found. With the Shatters of My Broken heart, I present to you, My Music Book of Poetry. This is my music book of poetry emotions that hung pain over M3, speak of my exes, they ain't over M3. How I made it, that's how it's posed to be. I only dared to let certain ones get close to M3. They played my love, say I broke their hearts, scarred my emotions, blamed M3 that we're apart, and still is in denial that I loved em from the start. But my angel fell from the stars at the time I stopped looking for love. I thank the lord, now I can't be without her, I can't give her up. This is my music book of poetry, loves that really tried to lower M3. My ex females live by no loyalty, all I wanted was love and in return I would spoil thee. Instead they left M3 with crazy stories that dropped my heart from a building of endless stories. I can chuck up the deuces counting my few exes that weren't worthy. Oh yea, in God I trust I had no worries. All my focus now is to get this money and provide for my family, cuz at the end of the day I know I only have God, My Love, them and M3.
