Book Description
“An absurdist blending of ancient and contemporary details . . . in the kvetching style of Joseph Heller.” —Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal In a Jerusalem both ancient and modern, where the First Temple squats over the populace like a Trump casino, where the streets are literally crawling with prophets and heathen helicopters buzz over Old Testament sovereigns, two young poets are about to have their lives turned upside down. Struggling Jeremiah is worried that he is wasting his time trying to be a writer; the great critic Broch just beat him over the head with his own computer keyboard. Mattaniah, on the other hand, is a real up-and-comer—but he has a secret he wouldn’t want anyone in the literary world to know: his late father was king of Judah. Then Jeremiah has a vision: that Jerusalem is doomed, and that Mattaniah will be forced to ascend to the throne only to witness his people slaughtered and exiled. But what does it mean to tell a friend and rival that his future is bleak? What sort of grudges and biases turn true vision into false prophecy? Can the very act of speaking a prediction aloud make it come true? And, if so, does that make you a seer, or just a schmuck? Dror Burstein’s Muck is a brilliant and subversive modern-dress retelling of the book of Jeremiah: a comedy with apocalyptic stakes by a star of Israeli fiction. “Influenced by such masterworks as Philip Roth’s scabrous Sabbath’s Theater, Joseph Heller’s satirical Catch-22, and the modernist works of Thomas Pynchon, [Muck] is alternately hilarious . . . and gripping.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Drowning Quietly
Author: Pellegrino Riccardi
Publisher: Greenleaf Book Group
ISBN: 1632995077
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
“By the time the doctors were ready to do the first round of assisted fertilization, my wife had been to hormonal hell and back. All that remained was to ‘introduce’ the father’s seed to the eggs. "This they did, literally. They introduced a bunch of my sperm cells to one of my wife’s eggs. All those swimmers had to do was swim across the petri dish over to the egg and fertilize it. All that egg required was for one (just one!) of the two million sperm cells to swim over, whisper, ‘Well, hello there, honey’ into the egg’s ear, and—boom!—one pregnant woman. "They couldn’t even manage that. Instead, they swam around aimlessly, like goldfish in a pond, until they ran out of steam and died.” Infertility treatments—along with witches and angels, Catholic school, a life-changing swimming pool incident, Italian hillbillies, and much more—are all part of Pellegrino Riccardi’s at times heartbreaking and at times hilarious recounting of his life. Playful and provocative, this memoir not only entertains but inspires profound conversation about what “masculinity” means today. Riccardi’s writing is witty and lyrical, even when discussing uncomfortable topics. His raw, touching, and admirably revealing account of his strengths and failings as a man, a husband, and a father will open a dialogue many men have been unwilling to explore about vulnerability, strength, gender roles, expressing emotions, and how and why men think and act the way they do. If you’ve ever wanted to eavesdrop on the unspoken thoughts of a man, this book will not disappoint!
