Tears We Cannot Stop

Languages : en
Pages : 187
Book Description
“A hard-hitting sermon on the racial divide, directed specifically to a white congregation.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review A New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe Bestseller As the country grapples with racial division at a level not seen since the 1960s, Michael Eric Dyson’s voice is heard above the rest. In Tears We Cannot Stop, a provocative and deeply personal call or change, Dyson argues that if we are to make real racial progress, we must face difficult truths, including being honest about how Black grievance has been ignored, dismissed, and discounted. In the tradition of James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time—short, emotional, literary, powerful—this is the book that all Americans who care about the current and long-burning crisis in race relations need to read. Praise for Tears We Cannot Stop Named a Best/Most Anticipated Book of 2017 by: The Washington Post • Bustle • Men’s Journal • The Chicago Reader • StarTribune • Blavity• The Guardian • NBC New York’s Bill’s Books • Kirkus Reviews • Essence “Elegantly written and powerful in several areas: moving personal recollections; profound cultural analysis; and guidance for moral redemption. A work to relish.” —Toni Morrison “Here’s a sermon that’s as fierce as it is lucid . . . If you’re black, you’ll feel a spark of recognition in every paragraph. If you’re white, Dyson tells you what you need to know—what this white man needed to know, at least. This is a major achievement. I read it and said amen.” —Stephen King “One of the most frank and searing discussions on race . . . a deeply serious, urgent book, which should take its place in the tradition of Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time and King’s Why We Can’t Wait.” —The New York Times Book Review

Tears Fall on Dark Memories
Author: Ryan Nicholas Belcher
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1410752542
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 133
Book Description
Tears Fall on Dark Memories is a psychological thriller about a crazed serial killer with a motive that is more ambitious and sinister than Bundy, Manson, and Dahmer combined. This suspenseful thriller will keep you engaged with every page. Each chapter brings you closer and closer to finding out the killer's motive, only to add depth and complexity to an ever growing, ever bewildering story line. Fiction in its purest sense will transport the reader into another world; this book is no exception. The people of Tolmor City are being annihilated one by one. Detective Jonathan Burton stands alone as the sole person who can stop the fiendish murderer. Seeing from the detective's and killer's point of view is what makes this book like no other in terms of complexity and originality. This book unfolds into a blooming staircase of structure from a spiraling chaotic nothingness. Pieces of strategically placed clues create a map of this novel's underlying meaning. Tears Fall on Dark Memories transports us into a realm of bewildering chaos. It describes the killings, investigations, and victims, i.e. from all perspectives. It stimulates the crevices of our predatory impulses, making us aware of our own primitive selves. Tears Fall on Dark Memories is infused with philosophical underpinnings that give it a feel of movies such as, Seven, The Silence of the Lambs, and Kiss the Girls. The book is illustrated profusely by the author, which adds depth and visual understanding to this complex, yet highly entertaining story.

Raiephin's Tear

Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1606936492
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Past the sparkling blue sea and inside the solid walls of the white marble city of Darenjar, an unseen venom spreads, bringing all under the control of a dark power. But still the people speak of the wars of a thousand years ago, of the days before the Lost God was banished, of the days when dragons flew the skies, of the Prophecies. The young thief Berran knew nothing much of lost gods or prophecies when he unintentionally stole Raiephin's Tear, a creation of the Dark God that has all the magic of the world imbued in its core. It is a daring act that attracts the eyes of those with evil intent. The theft sparks off a chain reaction of events with Berran in the middle. The authorities have never been fond of him, but now someone very high up wants him dead. Since stealing the Tear, he finds he has an inexplicable command over the highest levels of magic. His mystery-shrouded past isn't coughing up any answers, but it is doing a good job creating more questions. Enduring pain and hardship, Berran realizes that friendship is only one part of the key to unlocking the riddles of his life. He knows he's not a brave hero like those in the stories of old. However, at times fear proves to be a good thing as Berran is swept up in the inextricable grasp of a powerful prophecy, trying to resurrect the Lost God and restore the magic that is slipping away from the world.
