Sleeping In Satan's Den


Book Description

Sleeping in Satan's Den is more than a collection of folktales and stories of the Appalachian region.

Lurlene Joy McCoy interprets the theme of each story--some based on real people, places, and events--through the use of scripture, psychology, science, religion, and modern secular explanations, using verifiable sources to allow the reader to decide for themself what is real and what is make-believe. Satan's Den exists. We have all been there. How you have survived its secrets is part of who you are today and where you will go tomorrow.




Spring Comes To Chicago


Book Description

Capitalism and American Noiseintroduced readers to the musical, comedic, and impassioned voice of poet Campbell McGrath. Now, in Spring Comes to Chicago, McGrath pushes deeper into the jungle of American culture, exposing and celebrating our native hungers and dreams. In the centerpiece of the book, "The Bob Hope Poem," McGrath confronts the paradoxes that energize and confound us--examining his own avid affection for People magazine and contemplating such diverse subjects as Wittgenstein, meat packers, money, and, of course, Bob Hope himself. Whether viewing this life with existential gravity or consumerist glee, McGarth creates poetry that is at once public and profoundly personal.




A Reaping


Book Description

'A Reaping' by E.F. Benson is a novel that begins with a dinner conversation between two friends, one who is health-obsessed and the other who has accepted her incurable illness. The former talks about her morning deep-breathing routine, while the latter discusses her upcoming trip to Scotland, despite being unwell. Through this conversation, the book beautifully portrays how the joys of life and the beauty of the world are often lost in the midst of health obsessions. The book offers poignant and obvious reflections that will make readers question their own relationship with health.




The Castle


Book Description

The Castle is the story of K., the unwanted Land Surveyor who is never to be admitted to the Castle nor accepted in the village, and yet cannot go home. As he encounters dualities of certainty and doubt, hope and fear, and reason and nonsense, K.’s struggles in the absurd, labyrinthine world where he finds himself seem to reveal an inexplicable truth about the nature of existence. Kafka began The Castle in 1922 and it was never finished, yet this, the last of his three great novels, draws fascinating conclusions that make it feel strangely complete.
