I AM DEEPLY, REMORSELESSLY, UNSENTIMENTAL. Passionate, provocative, perceptive, warm, romantic (more likely Romantic), sensual, all these, but not a sentimental bone in my body. I’ll take unhappy endings, misconstrued meanings, novels without punctuation or compromise over heart-warming any day. In this collection of seventeen short stories the reader is treated to a cross-section of humanity and its ongoing struggle to overcome loneliness and misunderstanding. Whether a grieving widower questioning his wife’s last words, an art thief fleeing with her guilty haul, a family doctor doubting her clinical decisions or a horse pining for his herd, the characters seek connection in the midst of their isolation. Arranged in ascending order of length so as to entice the reader to lose themselves in the story, Stories for Short Attention Spans opens the window on the essence of hope.

TIME’S #1 FICTION TITLE OF THE YEAR • NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2018 FINALIST for the MAN BOOKER PRIZE and the NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD LONGLISTED for the ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL An instant New York Times bestseller from two-time National Book Award finalist Rachel Kushner, The Mars Room earned tweets from Margaret Atwood—“gritty, empathic, finely rendered, no sugar toppings, and a lot of punches, none of them pulled”—and from Stephen King—“The Mars Room is the real deal, jarring, horrible, compassionate, funny.” It’s 2003 and Romy Hall, named after a German actress, is at the start of two consecutive life sentences at Stanville Women’s Correctional Facility, deep in California’s Central Valley. Outside is the world from which she has been severed: her young son, Jackson, and the San Francisco of her youth. Inside is a new reality: thousands of women hustling for the bare essentials needed to survive; the bluffing and pageantry and casual acts of violence by guards and prisoners alike; and the deadpan absurdities of institutional living, portrayed with great humor and precision. Stunning and unsentimental, The Mars Room is “wholly authentic…profound…luminous” (The Wall Street Journal), “one of those books that enrage you even as they break your heart” (The New York Times Book Review, cover review)—a spectacularly compelling, heart-stopping novel about a life gone off the rails in contemporary America. It is audacious and tragic, propulsive and yet beautifully refined and “affirms Rachel Kushner as one of our best novelists” (Entertainment Weekly).

Hard Laughter written by Anne Lamott and has been published by Viking this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1980 with Brain categories.
Anne Lamott's poignant first novel, reissued in an attractive new edition. Writer (and sometime housecleaner) Jennifer is twenty-three when her beloved father, Wallace, is diagnosed with a brain tumor. This catastrophic discovery sets off Anne Lamott's unexpectedly sweet and funny first novel, which is made dramatic not so much by Wallace's illness as by the emotional wake it sweeps under Jen and her brothers, self-contained Ben and feckless, lovable Randy. With characteristic affection and accuracy, Lamott sketches this offbeat family and their nearest and dearest as they draw ever closer in the intimacy Jen prizes "among the other estimable things: good music, good hard laughter, good sex, good industry, and good books."

Romance. Adventure. Mystery. This book has none of these things. What it does have in spades is a bunch of very short stories, many of which were first published in the local newspaper. For too long, short stories have not been nearly short enough. The collection you're holding in your hot little hands aims to remedy this. The Meaning of Life (And Other Short Stories) is a collection of Stuart McCullough's best writing. Rest assured that the short stories included in this collection have all either been hand-picked or (at the very least) right mouse clicked and dragged, to ensure that only the absolute cream of the crop has ended up between the covers.

In this book of stories -- most never before published -- Robert Drake has written his most poignant collection thus far. With the theme of the picture frame, Drake has included people, places, and events of a most recent past. "Crowded in the picture" are unforgettable images of memory and grace, love and remorse. But more than the characters and the subjects of the story, the draw of this collection is once again Drake's use of language. The language is the language of the South. It is the language of humanity. While the stories look back, they do so without regret. They were great times, but so is the present. From the town of Woodville to St. Mark's Square in Venice, Drake's powerful language draws the reader not only into the book, but also into the photographs.

Parenting is a ‘question paper’ with multiple choice answers; where no answer is right or wrong. Answers are ‘situational’ and differ for every child. Choices vary and depend on the level of awareness parents have about their child. Parenting is never perfect; imperfections are beautiful, but inadequacies are not! ‘Winning Strategies for Parents’ is a ready reckoner that helps emotionally intelligent parents to channelise the substantial capacity programmed into their child by birth well into the correct direction at the right time. The author helps parents and educators of the present age to transform with renewed understanding and expanded paradigms of parenting a genius; the child! The author offers solutions that work and empowers parents to enable the child and remove the label given to the child by combining personal growth methods with innovative parenting techniques of the present era. It gives in-depth information regarding the development of the child and prepares parents and the child to transition smoothly into preschool with the most effective, practical, and workable separation guidelines. The guidelines help parents effectively communicate positive enforcements over the limiting negative emotions to transform the child into a fearless, yet a sensitive and a complete super-being.

Exploring episodes from the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament and both Jewish and Christian heritages, this book is an important contribution to understanding the influence of the Bible in contemporary literature.
