"We gotta' get out of this place, if it's the last thing we ever do." Jake Strong is stuck in a rut. Over a period of time, he's gradually grown tired of his job. He can't help feeling that, long ago, he might have taken the wrong turn somewhere on life's path. Jake regrets having heeded the advice of authority when he was young and is now longing for the good old days. At fifty-three years old, Jake is a moderately successful-but completely burned-out-real estate broker who is badly in need of a change. When an old high school friend, now a washed-up rock star, comes to town, it reminds him that songwriting was his natural talent and his first passion. Apprehensive but inspired, Jake embarks on a quest to find out if he has the moxie to be a songwriter. Along the way, he learns the truth about his old flame, Lizzie Taylor, he rights some wrongs, and he combines his youthful passion for songwriting with a seasoned work ethic. Will Jake finally find true happiness? Author Al Pauly creates the perfect mix of youthful dreams and grown-up cynicism in Suburban Blues, a story with which every adult can identify.

" "Ma queue derrière toi, Négro de merde!" lui dis-je. Alors un Toubab, une face de craie, un cochon gratté, un Blanc à la con, jaillissant de nulle part, vient, suivi d'un Arabe, un Beur, un métèque à la gueule de chameau, prêter main-forte à l'ami singe. Ils sont ivres, eux aussi. Les aurais-je déjà vus, ces trois animaux? Je ne crois pas. Depuis le temps que je prends cette même petite rue, au même petit endroit, pour aller "pécho" au même petit coin, je connais presque tous les types intéressants ou bizarres du quartier. De ceux qui dealent à ceux qui chient dans les cages d'escalier. Le tiécar, comme on dit ici, devient pourri! Je me rappelle, maintenant: je le connais, le chameau. Il y a trois jours, il m'a traité d'intellectuel parce que j'avais laissé entendre, lors d'une discussion dans un café, que Jésus, Muhammad ou Moïse, n'étaient que des hommes. Et que, par conséquent, leur jugement, comme celui de tous les hommes sur terre, est sujet à caution. Dieu me parle, à moi aussi, car moi aussi je suis Son fils et Sa créature. Je reste une créature divine, jusque dans mes heures les plus infernales. " Suburban Blues est un roman dont la trame se déroule dans une certaine banlieue, celle onirique d'un jeune musicien cherchant le chemin de l'Onirium, cette terre où les rêves sont censés prendre corps pour un envol magistral. Servi par une écriture virtuose et inventive, Suburban Blues fait exploser tous les codes de la réalité sociale et dresse le portrait sauvage d'un monde où l'amour est le seul secours.

Many commentators tell us that, in today's world, everyday life has become selfish and atomised—that individuals live only to consume. But are they wrong? In Me, Me, Me, Jon Lawrence re-tells the story of England since the Second World War through the eyes of ordinary people—including his own parents— to argue that, in fact, friendship, family, and place all remain central to our daily lives, and whilst community has changed, it is far from dead. He shows how, in the years after the Second World War, people came increasingly to question custom and tradition as the pressure to conform to societal standards became intolerable. And as soon as they could, millions escaped the closed, face-to-face communities of Victorian Britain, where everyone knew your business. But this was not a rejection of community per se, but an attempt to find another, new way of living which was better suited to the modern world. Community has become personal and voluntary, based on genuine affection rather than proximity or need. We have never been better connected or able to sustain the relationships that matter to us. Me, Me, Me makes that case that it's time we valued and nurtured these new groups, rather than lamenting the loss of more 'real' forms of community—it is all too easy to hold on to a nostalgic view of the past.

Class Dynamics in Later Life examines the extent that older persons, despite their estrangement from the productive process, are still dynamically engaged in class structuring and action. It argues that class remains a key differentiating factor in older people's lives. Contrary to conventional assumptions which presuppose that class mobility cannot occur unless retirees re-enter the labour market, the book argues that class formation is truly alive and kicking in later life.

One of today's best young novelists, Ray Robertson is also one of its ablest critics. Mental Hygiene is a collection of his most entertaining, insightful, controversial, and funniest reviews and essays written over the last five years. Believing that ''writers have a responsibility to help maintain the mental hygiene of their time, '' Robertson, following in the footsteps of Mordecai Richler and other novelist-critics such as Anthony Burgess, Kingsley and Martin Amis and John Updike, is at the front line of contemporary literary debate. Whether castigating the bland cabal he refers to as McCanlit, poking fun at the trendy ephemera of intellectual fashion or arguing for his own unique fictional aesthetic, Robertson pulls no punches and suffers no fools

Sweet Air written by Edward P. Comentale and has been published by University of Illinois Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2013-02-28 with Music categories.
Sweet Air rewrites the history of early twentieth-century pop music in modernist terms. Tracking the evolution of popular regional genres such as blues, country, folk, and rockabilly in relation to the growth of industry and consumer culture, Edward P. Comentale shows how this music became a vital means of exploring the new and often overwhelming feelings brought on by modern life. Comentale examines these rural genres as they translated the traumas of local experience--the racial violence of the Delta, the mass exodus from the South, the Dust Bowl of the Texas panhandle--into sonic form. Considering the accessibility of these popular music forms, he asserts the value of music as a source of progressive cultural investment, linking poor, rural performers and audiences to an increasingly vast network of commerce, transportation, and technology.
