Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595446698
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 634
Book Description
Author Veronique Renard omitted something critical in her popular 2003 memoir Pantau in India. As if leaving behind Dutch corporate life, converting to Buddhism, and living among Tibetan refugees in the Himalayas was not amazing enough, Veronique transitioned from male to female 25 years ago and has never mentioned it since. Until now. In her remarkable follow-up memoir Pholomolo, Veronique opens up for the first time. Laugh-out-loud moments punctuate this heartfelt portrait of her childhood struggles to express herself in a world that told her she had to be a boy. After transition at seventeen, she never discusses her background with family, friends, colleagues, and lovers. Now, she shares her unique experiences as a transsexual female in the occidental and oriental world with absolute candor. PHOLOMOLO-NO MAN NO WOMAN is a remarkable and inspiring story about yet another facet in Veronique's already amazing life, a story about learning to live your own truth every day. "A delightfully funny, unabashedly erotic, and deeply moving portrait." -Andrea James

A #1 New York Times bestseller, this innovative and wildly funny read-aloud by award-winning humorist/actor B.J. Novak will turn any reader into a comedian—a perfect gift for any special occasion! You might think a book with no pictures seems boring and serious. Except . . . here’s how books work. Everything written on the page has to be said by the person reading it aloud. Even if the words say . . . BLORK. Or BLUURF. Even if the words are a preposterous song about eating ants for breakfast, or just a list of astonishingly goofy sounds like BLAGGITY BLAGGITY and GLIBBITY GLOBBITY. Cleverly irreverent and irresistibly silly, The Book with No Pictures is one that kids will beg to hear again and again. (And parents will be happy to oblige.)

Old Jewish Folk Music
Author: Mark Slobin
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 1512807516
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 600
Book Description
The original publications of the 1930s are scarcely to be found. The posthumous 1962 volume in the Soviet Union was limited to a tiny edition. Yet the work of the man who has been called "the foremost authority on Jewish folk music before the Holocaust," Moshe Beregovski, survives and is now available for the first time to the English-speaking world. As a member of the Jewish community as well as an ethnomusicologist in prewar Russia, Beregovski had not only the inspiration to preserve the spirit and vitality of the music that filled the lives of his people but also the professional training to document his findings to exacting standards. The first section of SIobin's book contains translations of some of Beregovski's responses to Jewish folk music in its living context during the 1930s. He raises important questions about ethnicity in his essay on interaction between Ukrainian and Jewish musical influences. His work on klezmer music. the music of the Jewish folk instrumental bands, is the most authoritative on the subject and includes his complete guide to fieldworkers in folk music. In another essay Beregovski analyzes an unmistakable trademark of Jewish folk music, the "altered Dorian" scale, and its symbolism in Eastern European Jewish culture. The second section constitutes Beregovski's anthologies of hundreds of folk songs with full Yiddish and English song texts. Each song is carefully notated exactly as it was sung and is accompanied by Beregovski's notes on origins and variants. Beregovski's essays and transcriptions form a pat and a symbol of what was lost in the mass destruction of Eastern European Jewish culture in this century. They form a cultural record of deep significance not only for the Jewish people, but also for folklorists and scholars as evidence of a distinctive music culture that interacted with—and influenced—the folk musics of Eastern Europe.

Flirt
Author: Lorna Jackson
Publisher: Biblioasis
ISBN: 1897231709
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
In a steadfastly selfish and dishonestly original voice, the narrator’s sole project is to get closer to herself by inching nearer to the people who matter most to her, but to whom she means nothing. In Flirt: The Interviews, Lorna Jackson has unleashed something new onto the world of literature, a series of short linked fictions exploring love and fame and longing, and the language we use to express them. The book might be a long comic essay on adolescent grief, or an essay on creativity, but mostly it’s a collection of short fictions meant to mock real interviews and to question the sort of information we find in them.
