Everlasting Lane
Author: Andrew Lovett
Publisher: Galley Beggar Press
ISBN: 0957185383
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
"There was something frightful about those woods. But it wasn't the trees... It was the shadows squeezed between them." Galley Beggar Press's third release is another novel from a wonderful new talent, following the success of The White Goddess: An Encounter in 2012, and Eimear McBride's remarkable A Girl Is A Half-formed Thing in 2013. Andrew Lovett's Everlasting Lane evokes the eternal summer of a 1970s childhood: sun-soaked, nostalgic, with the soft focus and warm glow of a Polaroid - but offset by darkness. Peter is a boy who doesn't really understand the present, who refuses to think properly about the past, but is compelled to come to terms with both, in a story that is part Secret Seven, part I'm Not Scared, and part A Month In The Country. Glorying in the joys and gentle adventures of childhood, and featuring a sidekick - Anna-Marie - as memorable as Dill in To Kill A Mockingbird, Everlasting Lane is a bittersweet and delightfully strange exploration of the complexities of family relationships, and the shadows that the past can cast over the present.

Apocalypse Daddy
Author: Mark Fielding

ISBN: 1399944193
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
Enough already! Who ripped your fun out of fatherhood? When did parenting become a war of attrition? Didn't you get the memo? Being a dad is the best damn thing that will ever happen to you. It's the story of a lifetime. It's your own personal 'Once Upon a Time.' You're the director. The screenwriter. You write the first act, the second act, the third act. Do you want a happy beginning, middle and end? Then write one. But you're going to have to work for it. Push yourself beyond what you believe possible. Invest in your daughter. Invest in your son. Invest in yourself. When your kids' time comes - and if Epictetus has taught us anything, their time will come - when they grow up, no matter what, will they know you tried your best? Will you have kept those promises you made at 3 a.m. in the dark on a chill Tuesday morning in April as you sang lullabies into the delicate ear of that sleeping fragile lump of life you call your daughter? I'm like you. I'm a father, I'm a parent. I want what's best for my kids. And I'll go to the end of the world to make that a reality. "Because It's not the end of your world, but what if it was?" The Apocalypse Daddy isn't your traditional guide to fatherhood. You'll find zero nappy reviews. You won't read about car seats and bottle feeding and how to manage your sleep. You won't get a breakdown of the latest gadgets or the top 5 fatherhood mis-haps. They'll be nothing about pregnancy or which pushchair to buy. I don't care what's on your breakfast menu. You'll get something much better than that. Something much more actionable and powerful. You'll get a reminder that the best stories are written in childhood. You'll get a story about Quentin Tarantino and Reservoir Dogs and Stoicism and the ancient courts and emperors and Seneca and Diogenes and Epictetus and Aurelius. You'll learn about the power of running circles in your backyard and playing in grass with your children. You'll read about the magic of sleep deprivation and dreams; of running and jumping and playing; of holidays and the never-ending chaos that always ends too soon. Part love letter to his children, part alternative parenting guide, part stoic meditation, part psychotic breakdown, Apocalypse Daddy is the story of a father and his daughter and how one Spring can last a lifetime. Joining Apocalypse Daddy is a cast of cultural icons, scientists, musicians, dead kings and Schrödinger's cat. Can Buddha, Seneca, Epictetus, Bob Dylan, Diogenes, Richard Nixon, Peter Rabbit, Alfred Hitchcock, Jimi Hendrix and Hunter S Thompson help Apocalypse Daddy overcome the odds and bring education home? Is there enough time for Alice and Luca to teach Apocalypse Daddy about the meaning of life and what being a parent is really about? Undistracted. In the moment.
