When Rodgers and Hart's Pal Joey opened at the Barrymore on Christmas day, 1940, it flew in the face of musical comedy convention. The characters and situation were depraved. The setting was caustically realistic. Its female lead was frankly sexual and yet not purely comic. A narratively-driven dream ballet closed the first act, begging audiences to take seriously the inner life and desires of a confirmed heel. Pal Joey: The History of a Heel presents a behind-the-scenes look at the genesis, influence, and significance of this classic musical comedy. Although the show appears on many top-ten lists surveying the Golden Age, it is a controversial classic; its legacy is tied both to the fashionable scandal that it provoked, and, retrospectively, to the uncommon attention it paid to characterization and narrative cohesion. Through an archive-driven investigation of the show and its music, author Julianne Lindberg offers insight into the historical moment during which Joey was born, and to the process of genre classification, canon formation, and the ensuing critical debates related to musical and theatrical maturity. More broadly, the book argues that the critique and commentary on class and gender conventions in Pal Joey reveals a uniquely American concern over status, class mobility, and progressive gender roles in the pre-war era.

Cover letters are all the same. They're useless. You write the same lies over and over again, listing the store-bought parts of yourself that you respect the least. God knows how they tell anyone apart, but this is how it's done. And then one day a car comes out of nowhere, and suddenly everything changes and you don't know if he'll ever wake up. You get out of bed in the morning, and when you sit down to write another paint-by-numbers cover letter, something entirely different comes out. You start threatening instead of begging. You tell impolite jokes. You talk about your childhood and your sexual fantasies. You sign your real name and you put yourself honestly into letter after letter and there is no way you are ever going to get this job. Not with a letter like this. And you send it anyway.

Known as the "only living Father of Confederation" in his lifetime, Joey Smallwood was an entertaining, crafty, and controversial politician in Canada for decades. Born in Gambo, Newfoundland, Joseph ("Joey") Smallwood (1900–1991) spent his life championing the worth and potential of his native province. Although he was a successful journalist and radio personality, Smallwood is best known for his role in bringing Newfoundland into Confederation with Canada in 1949, believing that such an action would secure an average standard of living for Newfoundlanders. He was rightfully dubbed the "only living Father of Confederation" in his lifetime and was premier of the province for twenty-three years. During much of the last part of the twentieth century, Smallwood remained a prominent player in the story of Newfoundland and Labrador’s growth as a province. Later in life he put himself in debt in order to complete his Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador, the only project of its kind in Canada up to that point. In Joey Smallwood: Schemer and Dreamer, Ray Argyle reexamines the life of this incredible figure in light of Newfoundland’s progress in recent years, and measures his vision against its new position as a province of prosperity rather than poverty.

Mae Van Norman Long's 'The Wonder Woman' is a captivating novel that delves into the complexities of gender roles and societal expectations during the early 20th century. The book follows the story of a young woman who defies traditional norms to pursue her dreams of independence and self-discovery. Long's writing style is both poetic and evocative, transporting the reader to a time when women's voices were often silenced.

'The Wonder Woman' is a thought-provoking exploration of feminism and identity that will resonate with readers of all ages. Mae Van Norman Long's personal experiences as a feminist activist and writer likely inspired her to pen this empowering tale of female resilience and empowerment. Her deep understanding of gender dynamics and social injustices shines through in the novel, making it a compelling read for those interested in women's history and literature. I highly recommend 'The Wonder Woman' to anyone looking for a poignant and inspiring story that celebrates the strength and courage of women throughout history.

“A fast-paced, compelling narrative that goes far beyond the headlines.” — KEVIN DONOVAN, author of The Billionaire Murders On the morning of March 10, 1988, in Orillia, Ontario, a house fire engulfed fourteen-year old Joey Philion in flames. He suffered third-degree burns on 95 percent of his body. Doctors didn’t think he would make it through the night. After the Flames is the story of one of the world’s most famous burn victims: his incredible survival, his nightmarish path to recovery that helped revolutionize medical treatment for burn victims worldwide, the fame thrust upon him after he was declared a hero by the media, and the tumultuous years that followed, most of which were spent under the microscope of an unforgiving public eye. Intertwined with Joey’s story are those of his family, including his mother, Linda; stepfather, Mike; and younger brother, Danny, all of whom endured their own tremendous hardships in the wake of a fire that changed their lives forever

As for my continuous problem with Sgt. Butch and other police officers, they didnt let up with their harassment towards me. They put pressure on business operators and used extortion tactics, forcing people not to do business with Mr. Hudon. I retaliated the only way I could, by not letting up on trying to get certain policemen out of their involvement with private security work at McDonalds as guards. For ten years certain policemen used different forms of harassment towards me, and it continued on for another five years, till I decided that I had taken enough of their crap. The policemen who were involved continued telling businesses that if they had me do works for them, policemen would not respond to their calls.

In the spring of 1940 Canada sent hundreds of highly trained volunteers to serve in Britain's Royal Air Force as it began a concerted bombing campaign against Germany. Nearly half of them were killed or captured within a year. This is the story of one of those airmen, as told through his own letters and diaries as well as those of his family and friends. Joey Jacobson, a young Jewish man from Westmount on the Island of Montreal, trained as a navigator and bomb-aimer in Western Canada. On arriving in England he was assigned to No. 106 Squadron, a British unit tasked with the bombing of Germany. Joey Jacobson’s War tells, in his own words, why he enlisted, his understanding of strategy, tactics, and the effectiveness of the air war at its lowest point, how he responded to the inevitable battle stress, and how he became both a hopeful idealist and a seasoned airman. Jacobson's written legacy as a serviceman is impressive in scope and depth and provides a lively and intimate account of a Jewish Canadian's life in the air and on the ground, written in the intensity of the moment, unfiltered by the memoirist's reflection, revision, or hindsight. Accompanying excerpts from his father's diary show the maturation of the relationship between father and son in a dangerous time.
