Book Description
In this quasi-French farce masquerading as a novel, we meet Courtney Farquhar Tremayne, one hundred years young in the year 2000 and writing his memoirs about his ten odd (and you can believe that they were exceedingly odd) years touring with a second-rate vaudeville troupe (from approximately 1926 to 1936). Meet all of the interesting characters he knew from that magical medium now long departed. There are Bud and Boz, a dog act (Bud is the trainer and Boz the dog, although it was said that some were loathe to tell the difference). Then, there is one of the strangest acts ever to be seen on the vaudeville stage, Nick Knack Paddywack and his Knockabout Kids, a family acrobatic and comedy act. Meet Malachi and Alewyn Malarkey, Irelands version of George Burns and Gracie Allen. Also on board is Charles Mammy Kaufman, a blackface minstrel singer (a type of act no longer seen on any stage) whose not-so-secret secret is that he is, contrary to the convention of the day for these mammy singers, actually black. Then, there is Kelfer Milius, the pompous star actor of the show. And lastly is the beautiful and alluring (to Courtney, anyway) Prudence Bernadette, the shows star actress. Follow them and all these other vaudeville misfits on their ten-year excursion throughout countless Midwestern cow towns and backwater hamlets, where they ply their trade and, more often than not, find themselves in sometimes precarious, yet always comic, circumstances beyond their control.

Book Description
This is a story about one man's struggle to overcome class discrimination, poverty, and abandonment in order to achieve success, wholeness, and recognition. It does not always make light reading, but as with anything in life, there are humorous elements. A mixture of narrative storytelling and academic investigation provides the necessary balance for discussing a difficult subject. From earliest childhood memories, the reader is taken through the commotion of school life and ultimately beyond into the world of work. There is a gradual reversal of roles, as the ideas applied to the writer in his youth are turned outwards upon his entourage, and subsequently, the rest of society. One need not always agree; but hopefully the book will provide at the very least food for thought, and demonstrate the limitations of any idea when taken to the extreme.

Book Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “I’ve changed a bit since high school. Back then I said no to using and selling drugs. I washed on a normal basis and still had good credit.” Introducing Laurie Notaro, the leader of the Idiot Girls’ Action-Adventure Club. Every day she fearlessly rises from bed to defeat the evil machinations of dolts, dimwits, and creepy boyfriends—and that’s before she even puts on a bra. For the past ten years, Notaro has been entertaining Phoenix newspaper readers with her wildly amusing autobiographical exploits and unique life experiences. She writes about a world of hourly-wage jobs that require absolutely no skills, a mother who hands down judgments more forcefully than anyone seated on the Supreme Court, horrific high school reunions, and hangovers that leave her surprised that she woke up in the first place. The misadventures of Laurie and her fellow Idiot Girls (“too cool to be in the Smart Group”) unfold in a world that everyone will recognize but no one has ever described so hilariously. She delivers the goods: life as we all know it.

Book Description
In 'The Poetry of D. H. Lawrence', readers are introduced to the lyrical and profound works of the renowned author D. H. Lawrence. Known for his provocative and passionate exploration of love, nature, and the human experience, Lawrence's poetry is both deeply personal and universally resonant. His use of vivid imagery and intense emotion sets his poetry apart, making it a poignant reflection of the modernist literary movement of the early 20th century. Each poem in this collection invites readers to delve into the complexities of human relationships, spirituality, and the natural world, ultimately revealing the interconnectedness of all things. With themes ranging from sensuality to social criticism, Lawrence's poems evoke a sense of raw honesty and introspection that leaves a lasting impact on readers. As a writer deeply influenced by his own tumultuous life experiences, D. H. Lawrence brings a unique perspective and depth to his poetry. His works reflect his struggles with sexuality, societal norms, and the quest for spiritual fulfillment, offering readers a glimpse into the inner workings of a complex mind. Through his poetry, Lawrence challenges conventional beliefs and explores the depths of human consciousness, inviting readers to question their own assumptions and prejudices. I highly recommend 'The Poetry of D. H. Lawrence' to all poetry enthusiasts and those interested in exploring the works of a literary icon. Lawrence's poems are a testament to the enduring power of language and emotion, providing readers with a window into the complexities of the human soul and the beauty of the natural world.
