Naïveté
Author: Dr. Jack W. McLaughlin JrPublisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1663229503
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Why would someone write a book about a child molester? As a lifelong educator, the most challenging situation I faced was dealing with the possibility a teacher was sexually molesting a student. The teacher in question was so popular no one could believe he was doing what the student alleged. I came into contact with experts who described the characteristics of a child molester...characteristics I had not or most educators had not been made aware of in our formal training. Once I heard of the modus operandi of a child molester I had the information I needed to begin dealing with not only that situation but others faced. Everyone was “Naïve”...it just couldn’t be! “A Parent’s Trust Betrayed” has been inspired and fictionalized into a worst case scenario to bring out molester’s characteristics to help others become knowledgeable. Most teachers/coaches/tutors/organizations, clubs and religious leaders with characteristics portrayed in this book are outstanding and not pedophiles, of course. But, one must not be “naïve” to the fact there is always that possibility.

Book Description
Zenith of Naïveté is written by Daniel Wescott Note: This is a fictionalized account of actual events, not merely based on them. I’ve changed the names to protect everyone. Everything in here happened, just not in the order presented. I’ve condensed about two years into around a week. Plus, I’ve thrown my adult views into the mix. You know, the way all of us keep our memories. For my brother and me, the events depicted in this story were turning points in our lives and relationship with our Mom, each other, and our father. I was in my thirties before I believed my Mom was mentally ill, and I will regret that for the rest of my life. She passed away a few years ago, and our relationship was strained to the point of bare existence after growing up with her. If I’d truly understood, all those complicated feelings would have been softened, and I would have been there for her like she tried to be for us kids, only better. Know what I mean? I wrote the poem at the end of this in my late twenties. I attached it because it delivers a condensed version of the emotions involved in this period. I believe this topic is relevant to society due to the mental illness that is so rampant in the Western world, along with poverty and socio-economic stigmas/world views/beliefs.
Pop Trickster Fool
Author: Kelly M. CresapPublisher:
ISBN: 9780252071812
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
What Andy Warhol didn't know--or pretended not to know--changed history. He habitually adopted the guise of a fool in public, which made it all the harder to grasp what he was getting at with his pop paintings and deadpan films. By making his own apparent lack of competence and intelligence into an elaborate ruse, he became a figure without precedent: a man whose self-conscious naivete has had truly revolutionary impact. With poise, wit, and exacting intelligence, Kelly M. Cresap performs a nearly impossible task: accounting for the far-ranging implications of Warhol's sustained performance as a naif. This book is as much for those who despise Warhol as those who admire him. Among the offerings here is a vigorous account of the search for Warhol's brain; a polemic on camp taste; and a unique town-hall forum representing four decades of intense debate about the artist. Readers will find an engaging blend of art and literature, popular culture and mythology, as well as timely reflections on postmodernism, queer identity politics, and the nature of jokes and performance.

The Ballad of Lord Edward and Citizen Small
Author: Neil JordanPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1639364544
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
From Academy Award-winning film director Neil Jordan comes an artful reimagining of an extraordinary friendship spanning the revolutionary tumult of the eighteenth century. South Carolina, 1781: the American Revolution. An enslaved man escaping to his freedom saves the life of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, a British army officer and the younger son of one of Ireland's grandest families. The tale that unfolds is narrated by Tony Small, the formerly enslaved man who becomes Fitzgerald's companion—and best friend. While details of Lord Edward's life are well documented, little is known of Tony Small, who is at the heart of this moving novel. In this gripping narrative, his character considers the ironies of empire, captivity, and freedom, mapping Lord Edward's journey from being a loyal subject of the British Empire to becoming a leader of the disastrous Irish rebellion of 1798. This powerful new work of fiction brings Neil Jordan's inimitable storytelling ability to the revolutions that shaped the eighteenth century—in America, France, and, finally, in Ireland.
