Book Description

Grace Surtees has everything carefully under control--her work life, her home life and her love life--especially her love life. But then her boss hires Tate Saunders, a brash American, to spice up the gallery tours his company provides. Messy and fond of breaking rules, Tate explodes into her tidy existence like a paintball, and Grace hates everything about him--doesn't she? Because, for Grace, the alternative would be simply too terrifying to contemplate: to love Tate rather than hate him would mean leaping out of her comfort zone, and Grace's devotion to order hides some long-kept secrets--secrets she's sure someone like Tate Saunders could never accept or understand.

Book Description

The list of classic works of New Journalism goes on and on: In Cold Blood, The Right Stuff, Armies of the Night, Dispatches, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hiroshima, Slouching Towards Bethlehem: not only are they all still in print after 40 years, but also as accepted classics. Their authors - Truman Capote, Tom Wolfe, Michael Herr, Joan Didion, Norman Mailer - are also acknowledged as some of America's greatest twentieth-century writers. But they wrote non-fiction, not novels, about big subjects like Vietnam, the Hippie culture, notorious murders, the space programme. And the then revolutionary new brand of non-fiction they pioneered - narrative and novelistic, yet documentary and often with a spacedout, forensic detachment - has now become so much part of the mainstream that we can read books like Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil without realising their debt to the early New Journalists of the sixties. Marc Weingarten's book tells for the first time how they pushed reportage beyond its narrow limits and changed the literary culture, and the fascinating stories behind the research and writing of books such as in Cold Blood.

Book Description

The Bullring: A Classroom Experiment in Moral Education describes a way in which the principle of encouraging children to find out for themselves and to conduct their experiments with the raw material of common everyday objects—so well understood in the earlier years of schooling—may be adapted to help older children understand the world of persons. The Bullring is a free-discussion lesson; in it the children push the desks to one side, and, with the teacher, sit around in a circle facing one another. Their task is to study their behavior as it occurs and the teacher's task is to help them to do this. What distinguishes the Bullring from an ordinary discussion period is the freedom of students to say what they like and just about do what they like. The Bullring tries to provide a safe area in which young adolescents could find out for themselves what sort of persons they and their friends and their enemies were in relation to one another. It thus attempts to extend the principle of free discovery into the realm of personal relationships, to help children to discover themselves and to discover a morality by which to live.

Book Description

Fairy Tales! Its a rare American indeed, one now grown to adulthood, 30 to 50 years old that was never tucked in snug and cozy to be read a fairy tale or two; or two thousand maybe? Face it, we all know the standards. Many of us could give the basic details of the most well-known. I mean check it out! You got your basic slobbering, whimpering princess. But dont worry; it looks like the bum stalking her is only in it for jewels, not blood. Besides, all them little lady types end up saved by shining knights of some ilk. Speaking of knights, do we have enough wolves in these tales? Weve got more wolves in fairy tales than NYCs got Sharks and Jets. Right? The fact that these stories are entrenched in our minds makes fantasy authors crazy. Over the past centuries fantasy writers have tried their best to save the genre; sending fresh blood pulsing through its ancient veins. Hopeful writers have fooled around with the traditional. They subverted scenes, punctured plotlines, contorted characters, misaligned alliances, and even had the nerve to fool with finales. Is there no Literature God?! This author has thought how to invigorate fantasy. His wife has 30 years working in the Active Adult Industry. One night over dinner he mentioned Cinderella. She instantly replied, You mean, Seniorella, dont you? Well, a seed was planted, a switch flipped. Why not fairy tales, but aged just like us? Everything old . . . is new again . . . is old again!

Book Description

Death comes a-calling not once but three times in this murderous collection of cases from the files of Nero Wolfe, the world’s greatest detective. First there is the exclusive dinner party where the guests are gourmets, arsenic is the appetizer, and the suspects are five of the most gorgeous gals in New York. Next, a wandering cab pulls up to Wolfe’s door, containing a lady driver who doesn’t belong . . . and a comely corpse with a knife between her ribs. And finally, a championships rodeo roars into town, featuring square-jawed cowboys, bright-eyed cowgirls, and a dead millionaire with a fancy lariat for a necktie. Introduction by Margaret Maron “It is always a treat to read a Nero Wolfe mystery. The man has entered our folklore.”—The New York Times Book Review A grand master of the form, Rex Stout is one of America’s greatest mystery writers, and his literary creation Nero Wolfe is one of the greatest fictional detectives of all time. Together, Stout and Wolfe have entertained—and puzzled—millions of mystery fans around the world. Now, with his perambulatory man-about-town, Archie Goodwin, the arrogant, gourmandizing, sedentary sleuth is back in the original seventy-three cases of crime and detection written by the inimitable master himself, Rex Stout.

Book Description

This isn’t a retelling of a fairy tale. This isn’t a children’s story, either. This is a tale of fierce love, of possessiveness, and wanting. Ruby Montando cared for her grandma, went to college, worked three jobs. She was sassy and argumentative. She had to be, she’d fought all her young life just to survive. Sebastian Wolfe was a self-made man. A wolf in sheep’s clothing for sure. He wanted, and he got, usually. He had fought all his young life to survive. They were made for each other, but their needs were so very different. The age gap was so wide. Life experiences so different. It was all so very complicated. Could Ruby tame the wolf?
