Dandelion Through the Crack

ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 424

Book Description
Dandelion Through the Crack: The Sato Family Quest for the American Dream tells of a real Japanese-American family, formed both by ancestry and by the American way of life. We see mother, father, and children, and their challenges over seven decades. There are the extraordinary times of the Depression, wartime emergency, internment in the Poston "relocation" camp in the Arizona desert, oppressive prejudice, and the struggle to recover from near-total loss. But there are also many simple, almost-pastoral moments. The wise fables of the author's father -- tales of his old and new homelands and his haiku poetry -- are interwoven throughout. This is Kiyo Sato's first-person account of the family's struggles and triumphs. The result is a work of literary grace, emotional power, and historical and social importance.

The Crack-Up

Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Publisher: New Directions Publishing
ISBN: 0811219712
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 356

Book Description
A self-portrait of a great writer 's rise and fall, intensely personal and etched with Fitzgerald's signature blend of romance and realism. The Crack-Up tells the story of Fitzgerald's sudden descent at the age of thirty-nine from glamorous success to empty despair, and his determined recovery. Compiled and edited by Edmund Wilson shortly after F. Scott Fitzgerald's death, this revealing collection of his essays—as well as letters to and from Gertrude Stein, Edith Wharton, T.S. Eliot, John Dos Passos—tells of a man with charm and talent to burn, whose gaiety and genius made him a living symbol of the Jazz Age, and whose recklessness brought him grief and loss. "Fitzgerald's physical and spiritual exhaustion is described brilliantly," noted The New York Review of Books: "the essays are amazing for the candor."

Book Description
"If you're going to waste your money another stupid diet book that doesn't work, spend it on this one." Jane Johnson, Diet Guru and Bestselling Author of "How to Stop Being So Fat!" Did you ever wonder why crackheads are all really skinny? Best selling author and comedian, Dr. Brandon Day, spent the past year examining this phenomenon, and it isn't because they do Keto, cut carbs, intermittent fasting, Weight Watchers, or any of those other gimmicky weigh loss plans. Crackheads don't count their steps or have Fitbits. They don't do Pilates, hot yoga, or CrossFit either. Crackheads are all really skinny because they smoke a shit ton of crack. Next to gastric bypass surgery and a few eating disorders, crack is the single greatest weight loss method on the market right now. This book will reframe we as a society look at crack cocaine so we can harness it's hidden potential to give us all the smoking hot beach body you were after. Once you start smoking crack, you'll never have to buy another diet book again! -Body Positive Weekly
