Lessons From Lucy
Author: Dave Barry
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
ISBN: 1501161164
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
In this “little gem” (Washington Independent Review of Books), Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist and New York Times bestselling author Dave Barry learns how to age happily from his old but joyful dog, Lucy. As Dave Barry turns seventy—not happily—he realizes that his dog, Lucy, is dealing with old age far better than he is. She has more friends, fewer worries, and way more fun. So Dave decides to figure out how Lucy manages to stay so happy, to see if he can make his own life happier by doing the things she does (except for drinking from the toilet). He reconnects with old friends and tries to make new ones—which turns out to be a struggle, because Lucy likes people a lot more than he does. And he gets back in touch with two ridiculous but fun groups from his past: the Lawn Rangers, a group of guys who march in parades pushing lawnmowers and twirling brooms (alcohol is involved), and the Rock Bottom Remainders, the world’s oldest and least-talented all-author band. With each new lesson, Dave riffs hilariously on dogs, people, and life in general, while also pondering Deep Questions, such as when it’s okay to lie. (Answer: when scallops are involved.) Lessons From Lucy shows you a new side to Dave Barry that’s “touching and sentimental, but there’s still a laugh on every page” (The Sacramento Bee). The master humorist has written a witty and affable guide to joyous living at any age.

Transnational American Spaces
Author: Tina Powell
Publisher: Vernon Press
ISBN: 1648894380
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
As people migrate, they face the need to create a stable space within a disconcertingly unfamiliar environment. This experience of creating new spaces opens opportunities for positive transcultural connections; however, these opportunities can also serve as the disciplining of the migrant body. This text focuses on the movement of bodies in transnational communities and the formation of domestic and communal spaces that provide respite from migratory paths, negotiate transnational relationships, or establish a new home. In doing so, we explore literary texts that question, challenge, and deepen our understanding of the experience of migration through the use of space and place. The texts in question examine three levels of transnational spaces: intimate spaces such as family, personal growth, or sexuality; inherited spaces reflected in generational conflicts, religious identity, and inherited histories; and national spaces that look at issues of broader national identities. The texts we examine engage with transnational communities within the United States, and the ways in which narratives reimagine new space to negotiate change and create new norms. These narratives can sometimes bridge both cultures or can sometimes result in a violent sense of displacement. Each chapter problematizes a different aspect of transcultural adaptation, and the geographic ties of each community focus reflect the multicultural reality of the U.S., with connections to Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America.

Book Description
"Fairly Odd Mother: Musings of a Slightly Off Southern Mom" is award-winning journalist Kelly Kazek's skewed and hilarious view of various aspects of life, from raising a daughter as a single mom to life in a small town to popular culture ... "I felt I had a lot of wisdom to impart to my daughter, like "Never let a man see you put on control top panty hose (or for that matter, take them off. Someone could get hurt.)" - from the column "Moms get dumber as teens age" "The idea of drinking a bovine pee cola gives a whole new meaning to those old Peter Frampton lyrics, 'I'm in you, urine me.' At least I think that's how they went. Plus, it makes you give those Red Bull ingredients a second glance." - from the column "Try an ice cold Cow-ca Cola" "Guys, at this point have likely picked up on the more obvious (to guys) mystery in this whole incident: Where does a naked woman put $40,000 in jewelry...? (Pause while we all ponder this.) ...and if this man was paying $100 per hour to have a naked woman in his house, why wasn't he watching her? I imagine to some, this would seem wasteful." - from the column "Nude maid strips man of self respect" What readers are saying ... "Kelly Kazek has a most delightful writing style and a wry sense of humor!" - Jim G., Phoenix, Arizona "I've never written to a newspaper colunist before but I had to write to tell you how much I enjoyed your column. Rarely does anything make me laugh out loud but your column did!" - Martha C. Leeds, Alabama "I burst out laughing several times" - Linda S. Whiting, New Jersey "If a new column's not there by Monday, I start to get the shakes." - Michael P., Milledgeville, Ga.

The Boreli family is picture perfect with a strong patriarch, beautiful matriarch, and three kids who are reflections of the seeming flawlessness of their parents. Despite this perceived perfection, Joseph and his wife Ellen—along with their children Victoria, Joey, and Lucy—are about to fall apart. Ellen has always been the strong, guiding force in the Boreli household. She has also been the keeper of its hopes, dreams, and most importantly, secrets. When she is diagnosed with cancer, she must face the inevitability of death and reflect on the family she has created based on lies. Sometimes secrets are necessary to protect the innocent. Sometimes lies are necessary to protect those secrets, and sometimes lies become larger than truth. Pure evil lurks behind this camouflage of beauty, and all will come to light as Ellen faces mortality and tries to cleanse the tainted legacy she will leave.
