Maithil Women's Tales
Author: Coralynn V. Davis
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252096304
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
Constrained by traditions restricting their movements and speech, the Maithil women of Nepal and India have long explored individual and collective life experiences by sharing stories with one another. Sometimes fantastical, sometimes including a kind of magical realism, these tales allow women to build community through a deeply personal and always evolving storytelling form. In Maithil Women’s Tales, Coralynn V. Davis examines how these storytellers weave together their own life experiences--the hardships and the pleasures--with age-old themes. In so doing, Davis demonstrates, they harness folk traditions to grapple personally as well as collectively with social values, behavioral mores, relationships, and cosmological questions. Each chapter includes stories and excerpts that reveal Maithil women’s gift for rich language, layered plots, and stunning allegory. In addition, Davis provides ethnographic and personal information that reveal the complexity of women’s own lives, and includes works painted by Maithil storytellers to illustrate their tales. The result is a fascinating study of being and becoming that will resonate for readers in women’s and Hindu studies, folklore, and anthropology.

The Storyteller
Author: Dave Grohl
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 006307611X
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
The #1 New York Times Bestseller * Named one of Variety's Best Music Books of 2021 * Included in Audible's Best of The Year list * A Business Insider Best Memoirs of 2021 * One of NME's Best Music Books of 2021 So, I've written a book. Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ("It's a piece of cake! Just do 4 hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!") I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child. This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters…the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

Book Description
Not Book Club Material is the newest collection of stories from writer, Aaron Zevy. With a cast of characters, both real and imagined; including the return of comic duo Lewberg and Goldfarb, and a narrator who continues to find new ways to screw up, Zevy blends fiction, memoir, and surreal meta in order to entertain and amuse. Don't try to figure out what is real and what is not just sit back and enjoy! After all, Zevy reminds us to "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." Praise for The Bubbe Meise and Other Stories... Starred Review from Blue Ink Review: "With the ease of a practiced storyteller and an outrageously droll sense of humor, Aaron Zevy ("Ronnie" to his friends and family), presents an anthology of rollicking personal essays and fictional short stories in his latest offering... "Zevy's self-deprecating humor makes him an irresistible character. His easy-going prose and fast-paced, sitcom-style conversations create laugh-out-loud and sometimes poignant moments. While those unfamiliar with contemporary Jewish customs and religious traditions may miss the subtler culturally related humor, Zevy's facile comic ability will appeal to anyone willing to find humor in the human condition."
