The View from Kings Point

Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
The View from Kings Point: The Kings Point Creative Writers Club Anthology, 2018 is the product of the labors over eighteen months of twelve gifted writers, including one artist residing in a senior community. As the Preface illustrates, the range, scope, variety, and diversity of their pieces are truly outstanding. Literary quality shines through everywhere. The title is an allusion to the revolutionary, omniscient perspective called the king’s point of view of Spanish master painter Diego Velazquez in his famous Las Meninas (Ladies in Waiting), which is reproduced in the first frontispiece. We present the anthology as a memorial to our deceased beloved member, A. Irving Rosenberg. May he rest in peace.

Exodus According to Methuselah
Author: Reva Spiro Luxenberg
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1796034371
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Methuselah, the recording angel of history, is correcting the mistakes in Exodus that the dyslexic and nearsighted scribe who copied the Bible first made. For instance, Moses’s mother takes an entire month to make the basket for the baby since Macy’s has not yet come into existence. The infant’s sister, Miriam, places the basket in the bulrushes of Nile to save the Hebrew baby from being killed. Pharaoh’s daughter, who has severe psoriasis, rescues the infant and raises him in the palace. When Moses is ten, he is taught how to box. At the age of sixteen, he learns how to drive a chariot. That gives him the inspiration to initiate chariot races when he’s seventeen—long before the Roman ones as depicted in Ben-Hur. Moses is placed in an anger management class that he hates. He becomes an unquestionably great leader but never fully controls his temper for the rest of his eventful life.
