Book Description
A collection of writings offers a revealing and provocative self-portrait of an author whose life was shrouded in enigma. Jerzy Kosinski was one of the most important and original writers of his time. Passing By serves as his legacy. This collection of essays by the late author features pieces about polo and skiing, levitation, the streets of New York, present-day Poland, the Cannes film festival, celebrities, and more. The man who emerges here has a passion for sport, a quirky sense of fun, an idiosyncratic range of acquaintances stretching from Pope John Paul II to Warren Beatty, and an abiding love of secrets, conundrums, and fantasies. But first and foremost, as he demonstrates in major essays on his novels The Painted Bird and Steps, Kosinski is a powerful, incomparable literary artist. “Kosinski’s vibrant, sexy, questioning voice is fully present.” —The Boston Globe

Book Description
Catcalls, wolf whistles, verbal slurs, pinches, stalking—virtually every woman has experienced some form of unwanted public attention by men. Off the street, in semi-public places such as restaurants and department stores, women often suffer the insult of being passed over by employees eager to serve men. How pervasive is this behavior? How dangerous can it be? What, if anything, should be done about it? Passing By, an illuminating, unsettling work, explores the important yet little-examined issue of gender-related public harassment. Based on extensive research—including in-depth interviews with nearly five-hundred midwestern women and men—it documents the many types of indignity visited on women in public places. As Carol Brooks Gardner demonstrates, these indignities cross all lines of age, class, and ethnicity and follow a typical pattern whereby a man or men take advantage of a woman's momentary or permanent vulnerability. Beyond describing the scope and variety of harassing behaviors, the book investigates the different ways women and men respond to and interpret them. Gardner concludes, provocatively, that gender-based public harassment exerts a powerful control over women's feelings of comfort in the towns and communities where they live and work. Further, she defines it as a new category of social problem that shares much in common with sexual harassment and, in its more menacing form, requires legal remedy.

Book Description
Bob Walklett’s story begins when he volunteered for the British armed forces in 1943 – during WW2. He served with 6th Airborne Division, and was involved in the Ardennes battle, in Belgium, later known as The Battle of the Bulge. His next assignment was Operation Varsity, on the 24th March, 1945, when 6th Airborne Division, along with the 17th American Airborne Division, made their airborne assault over the River Rhine, in West Germany. He was wounded, and became a P O W, in a German Hospital, until freed by his advancing comrades. Bob’s story also relates to his hospitalisation in the UK, and to the poems he had written, over that time. He finalises his story with the Reunions he had with his ( much older now ) wartime comrades. His poems relate to wartime leaders, and memorable battles during WW2. The combination of war service – poems – and finally his reunions, make it a compelling and interesting story.

Book Description
This book attempts a close reading of the fiction of Flannery O'Connor, story by story, with one eye on her use of the Bible, and her view of the Bible in relation to her own work. After introductory chapters on O'Connor's markings in her own Roman Catholic Bible, her book reviews in diocesan newspapers, and her impatience with her wayward readers, Michaels looks first at her two novels, Wise Blood and The Violent Bear It Away, and then at seventeen of her short stories from her two collections, A Good Man Is Hard to Find and Everything That Rises Must Converge. Michaels takes notice of O'Connor's explicit references to the Bible (or Bibles) in her stories, and looks more particularly to the ways in which the stories are driven at least in part by specific biblical texts. Among the themes that emerge are alienation or displacement, what it means to be "good," the relation between body and spirit and between the Old Testament and the New, issues of race and gender, and above all what O'Connor once called "the action of grace in territory held largely by the devil."

Book Description
This book is about unconditional love - loving the self, loving God, and loving the life that He gave us. It was written in the aftermath of a phase where I was contemplating suicide. This work is a view from the other side - what happens when you don't kill yourself, but instead pray to the lord God, the Almighty One, and find solace in healing your body, mind, and soul. Mental illnesses are real and can be debilitating. However, if you love your family and friends, you may choose to stay alive just for them. Suicide kills not only the person, but the entire family and leaves a whole community in shock. Do you want to leave behind pain and suffering? Or would you rather not give up and choose to believe that your pain and suffering has a purpose greater than yourself? Let's face it. Life is hard and survival is challenging; but do you know that this journey can feel blissful with the right amount of love and friendship. I hope the next few pages help you in understanding how I cope with my mental illness. Try to grasp that your journey is an experience that God wanted you to have. This experience will help you in growing your consciousness, so you may bloom like the spring flower spreading your fragrance around. The fragrance being your joy that you find in your reality. In essence, the glimpses of joy you will have should be sufficient to tackle the pain. Seek God in all your endeavors!
