Apropos of Nothing


Book Description

The Long-Awaited, Enormously Entertaining Memoir by One of the Great Artists of Our Time—Now a New York Times, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, and Publisher’s Weekly Bestseller. In this candid and often hilarious memoir, the celebrated director, comedian, writer, and actor offers a comprehensive, personal look at his tumultuous life. Beginning with his Brooklyn childhood and his stint as a writer for the Sid Caesar variety show in the early days of television, working alongside comedy greats, Allen tells of his difficult early days doing standup before he achieved recognition and success. With his unique storytelling pizzazz, he recounts his departure into moviemaking, with such slapstick comedies as Take the Money and Run, and revisits his entire, sixty-year-long, and enormously productive career as a writer and director, from his classics Annie Hall, Manhattan, and Annie and Her Sisters to his most recent films, including Midnight in Paris. Along the way, he discusses his marriages, his romances and famous friendships, his jazz playing, and his books and plays. We learn about his demons, his mistakes, his successes, and those he loved, worked with, and learned from in equal measure. This is a hugely entertaining, deeply honest, rich and brilliant self-portrait of a celebrated artist who is ranked among the greatest filmmakers of our time.




The Other Wes Moore


Book Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the governor-elect of Maryland, the “compassionate” (People), “startling” (Baltimore Sun), “moving” (Chicago Tribune) true story of two kids with the same name from the city: One went on to be a Rhodes Scholar, decorated combat veteran, White House Fellow, and business leader. The other is serving a life sentence in prison. Selected by Stephen Curry as his “Underrated” Book Club Pick with Literati The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his. In December 2000, the Baltimore Sun ran a small piece about Wes Moore, a local student who had just received a Rhodes Scholarship. The same paper also ran a series of articles about four young men who had allegedly killed a police officer in a spectacularly botched armed robbery. The police were still hunting for two of the suspects who had gone on the lam, a pair of brothers. One was named Wes Moore. Wes just couldn’t shake off the unsettling coincidence, or the inkling that the two shared much more than space in the same newspaper. After following the story of the robbery, the manhunt, and the trial to its conclusion, he wrote a letter to the other Wes, now a convicted murderer serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. His letter tentatively asked the questions that had been haunting him: Who are you? How did this happen? That letter led to a correspondence and relationship that have lasted for several years. Over dozens of letters and prison visits, Wes discovered that the other Wes had had a life not unlike his own: Both had had difficult childhoods, both were fatherless; they’d hung out on similar corners with similar crews, and both had run into trouble with the police. At each stage of their young lives they had come across similar moments of decision, yet their choices would lead them to astonishingly different destinies. Told in alternating dramatic narratives that take readers from heart-wrenching losses to moments of surprising redemption, The Other Wes Moore tells the story of a generation of boys trying to find their way in a hostile world.

Larry


Book Description

I'm Larry the internet guy... Never in a million years did Larry think that he'd find someone like Logan. He thought that Logan was just another homeowner who hired him to fix his internet, but he soon found out that Logan was so much more... Logan has been a rich kid all his life, with typical parents who were always away and never acknowledged his taste in men. But when Larry came knocking in his humongous house, something in him stirred and he decided to seduce the man. But the two have to face Logan's parents, who didn't approve of their relationship. Will Logan ever break out of his parents' grasp or will their love be just short lived? SAMPLE: "Come and get it, Larry the Internet Guy," he said with a cheeky grin. "Be right there," I said. I climbed down from the ladder and started for the kitchen. I'd been in homes where the people were very friendly. Many offered me coffee or a soda but none had ever fed me or been anywhere as friendly as this kid. It was like he was flirting with me. I didn't know for sure what to think about that. The truth was that I thought for a long time that I was bisexual. I dated girls in high school and college and had sex a few times. But I also messed around with some guys in high school and college. I wasn't sure which I liked best, but I leaned toward guys. When I thought about it, I was a little uncomfortable about it. I knew my life would have a lot less drama if I just forgot guys and found a girl to settle down with, but every time I was with a girl I'd think about some guy I'd been with. It was a very confusing thing for me. Now this kid was acting like he dug me and I didn't know what to do. I walked into the kitchen and he was sitting at the island countertop on a stool with his feet up on the rungs. "Sit, Larry, your breakfast is served." I looked and there was a plate with bacon, hash browns, two eggs, and toast, and a glass of orange juice. There was even a slice of orange twisted and lying like a decoration on top of my eggs. "Do you drink coffee?" he asked. "No thanks, the juice is fine. Damn, you're a quite a cook. This looks like what you'd get at IHOP." He grinned. "Breakfast isn't hard. Any average ass can fry bacon and potatoes. It doesn't take much skill to push down the toaster and butter toast." I sat and began eating. "Well I've never been asked to breakfast before, so I thank you. This is fantastic." "Happy to have you. It's nice to have someone to talk to. I've been spending a lot of alone time out here in the boondocks." "No buddies to visit?" "Not lately. I've been pretty much all to myself. Most of my friends from high school have jobs this summer or have left for vacations." I felt kind of sorry for the kid. Of course he probably had everything a kid his age could want but being alone was not fun. "So, Larry, are you married?" "Nope." "Girlfriend?" "Nope." "Boyfriend?" "Huh? I um, what?" He grinned. "I asked if you had a boyfriend? Are you straight, bi, or gay?" "I'm um, jeez you don't hold back, do you?" He grinned and scratched his balls. "I was just asking. If you don't want to answer, it's fine." He put one foot up on the seat of the stool and leaned against the wall. I looked down and his cock was showing in the leg of his boxers. I turned away quickly. "I really need to get going on that dish," I said. "Thanks for the breakfast." I got up and started for the door. "If you need anything... anything at all, just holler," he said. I turned and his dick was nearly hard and sticking out of the leg of his boxers. Holy shit!

Digimodernism


Book Description

Almost without anybody noticing, a new cultural paradigm has come center stage, displacing an exhausted and increasingly marginalised postmodernism. Dr. Alan Kirby calls this cultural paradigm digimodernism, a name comprising both its central technical mode and its privileging of the fingers and thumbs in its use. The increasing irrelevancy of postmodernism requires a new theory to underpin our current digital culture.
