  • av Larry Levy
    287

    In his debut collection of humorous short stories, Larry Levy delves into a myriad of subjects that run the gamut from fear of costumed birds to comic interpretations of eternal return. In between, he cracks wise about psycho canine psychiatrists, an eccentric opera singer, and progressive dentists who use strippers to anesthetize their patients. He fictionalizes a modern professor who rewrites the history of the ancient Greek philosopher, Heraclitus. There is a compelling story about the perfect female form as well as an updated version of Bill Clinton's magical cigar. He even includes three twisted fables about unrequited love and a personal interview with the transgender lead singer of a punk band.

    People for years have studied the mysteries of life, trying to unravel the truth behind the divine existence of humans, where and when it started, and how it evolved to where we are today. Many people don't believe in reincarnation and yet many others do.The possibility of the "past life" phenomenon is quite unique and puzzling. To consider that we have all lived before, had different lives, and lived in different times - that is a fantastic conception. In thought, wouldn't it be wild and wonderful to have many different lives? If we all knew that this was a reality, would we disregard the difficult lives, and choose to go on to the next? If we knew that there was a "do over," so to speak, what impact would that have on the one that we are living? I find the whole conception of past lives exciting and intriguing. This book is a fantasy story depicting the mysterious realms of past lives and how it could have all began. I profess no specific knowledge or expertise on the subject. Everyone has an opinion and this is mine. I hope you enjoy the possibility of this wondrous depiction.

    The Scots-Irish who settled in the North Georgia mountains were-as Margaret Mitchell would say-people with gumption. In Thunder and White Lightning readers meet two families and a host of real-life characters who face the world head-on with a quirky sense of humor and a hankering for adventure. They find that red clay is only good for two things: corn, which they turn into moonshine to support their families and pay their taxes and dirt tracks, which are perfect for racing hopped-up whiskey cars, stock cars and eventually, for NASCAR. The characters-real and fictional-are independent, patriotic, fractious, funny and unpredictable, but they are never boring. They outrun revenuers, go to jail, build new stills, laugh and fall in love, fight in WWII, learn that prosperity isn't always easy, bet their future on a second-hand Plymouth and finally take the checkered flag with red dust flying. In other words, it's the Downton Abbey of North Georgia.

  • - An American Story
    av Petula Caesar
    437

    "She's Such A Bright Girl: An American Story" is a story of respectability politics gone very wrong. Petula Caesar is raised in the 1970s and 1980s in Paterson, New Jersey and Baltimore, Maryland. Petula's Black parents, dark-brown skinned Christine and a very light-skinned Walter - migrate north from the south to find work. Once their light-skinned daughter is born, Walter realizes her complexion could give her a great advantage in her life if used correctly. Walter raised Petula to be as "White" as possible by straightening her hair, surrounding her with White dolls, only exposing her to culture created by White people, and teaching her to not be too loud, too overbearing, or to take up too much space in the world. Petula was taught to always be aware of how White people viewed her, and to behave in ways that would make White people feel comfortable and unthreatened. In exchange, she would achieve upward mobility and escape the trauma of being Black in America. But while doing this, Walter created a tremendous identity crisis in Petula, who had to fight massive fears and insecurities - demons that eventually came to haunt Walter as well.

    "Soldiers of a Foreign War" presents the Vietnam War in all its conflicted complexity. It is told from the enlisted soldiers' perspective and deals with the American and Vietnamese's, North and South, all teenagers, experiences as they leave their families and enter their countries' respective armies. The story lines follow two American infantry platoons led by sergeants Cado and Eldridge, a three-man NVA combat cell comprised of Chi, Duan and Thuy and Sp. Steve Aiken a medic in the surgical hospital. The action takes place in six months during 1969-70, in War Zone C, northwest of Saigon.The daily misery of living and fighting in the jungle and rice paddies for these men is unimaginable. The planning, execution and aftermaths of combat operations, is presented in detail. The novel is unique in its descriptions of the wounded and their fates. Most war novels will say, "Joe got hit and was evac'd to the hospital." My book tells exactly what happened when Joe got to the hospital. The variety of destructive wounds required immediate surgeries. That was the function of the surgical hospital but the toll taken on the staff has not been told to the extent that this novel does.

    A collection of short stories and tales that dramatizes the realities of working men, women, families, and loners. Whether it's the discovery of old secrets or the pressures of work and family, the characters in this collection aim to do what is right for themselves and for their loved ones.

Some characters fight and some go with the flow, while all face their options with as much courage and focus as they can muster in the circumstances. In the first story, Ralph quits his job to protect the reputation of an eccentric customer. In "The Screw," Joe discovers that his brother has been lying to him, a lie that threatens to bring down his world.

    The hit television series, Seinfeld, was once described as "a show about nothing." The same could be said of Particularly Peculiar People. Although the events in her life are of little consequence, B. Lynn views them through a curiously distorted lens that turns "something about nothing" into "something about something." In this collection of vignettes, B. Lynn wades through the muck of childhood, adolescence and adulthood, keenly observing the absurd and learning valuable life lessons:• Getting too chummy with God is not conducive to living a long and healthy life• Fingers make convenient playmates • It is not a good idea to aggravate her mother's eyebrow• It is impossible to hum Jimi Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner • Grandmothers are physically disgustingWickedly humorous and irreverent, with an undercurrent of poignancy as B. Lynn exposes her own vulnerabilities and abiding love for the people she so mercilessly caricaturizes, Particularly Peculiar People begins in the 1950s and continues until B. Lynn is older than she would like.

  • - Poems and an Essay
    av Mark G Malvasi
    241

    "America is hard to see," observed Robert Frost, for America never stops moving, speeding always toward the promise of a future that is elusive, if not illusory. The American is a wayfarer who knows no rest, who is almost pathologically agitated. The American soul, restive and turbulent, finds its being in perpetual motion. There is no staying put, no sending down roots deep into the soil. Rather, there is in America, wrote D. H. Lawrence, only "the incarnate mystery of the open road." "Dark Fields: Poems and an Essay" offers a more chastened, and chastening, vision of the American past and present, emphasizing deliberation, restraint, forbearance, and responsibility in place of the exuberant feeling and ecstatic sensation that accompanies an America that is moving "forward then and now and forever." Standing within, but also in critical opposition to, the poetic tradition that Walt Whitman established, the poems in this volume question the American hope of millennial perfection. An expression of dissent, they counter the official American optimism, and instead cast doubt on the conviction that America is the City of God and that Americans are His Chosen People.
