Crazy Dave by Basil Johnston Pdf

Through the story of his Uncle David and grandmother Rosa, native writer and storyteller Basil Johnston offers an unforgettable portrait of reservation life and pays loving tribute to his family, community, and culture. David, the last of Rosa's five sons, was born with Down syndrome. Unable to care for himself, he and the indomitable Rosa were to be forever bound together, joined by love and necessity in a life already defined by harsh, sometimes tragic circumstances. And yet, David was remarkable. Strong, stubborn, and utterly determined, he aspired to learn, to be a part of a world in which he would never entirely belong. In that regard, he was and remains a poignant and unsettling reflection of his people, who had fled Wisconsin in the 1830s to seek sanctuary with the Ojibway farther north in what became Canada. With great resourcefulness and integrity, they struggled to sustain and preserve families, a language, and a way of life, while accomodating the increasingly intrusive demands of white society.

Crazy Dave by Basil Johnston Pdf

Basil Johnston, author of a dozen books including The Manitous and Indian School Days, is one of North America's most renowned native writers and storytellers. Crazy Dave tells the story of Johnston's Uncle Dave and grandmother Rosa. Through their stories we are given an engrossing, moving portrait of life on the reservation through the better part of this century. The last of Rosa's five sons, David was born with Down's Syndrome. Unable to take care of himself, Rosa was to be forever bound to him, conscripted by love and duty to a life already defined by harsh and tragic circumstances. And yet, David would become as large and has a colourful personality as anyone else in the Cape Croker community. Possessed of the normal range of human emotion, capable of almost astonishing gentleness and fierce anger, he aspired to learn, and struggled to be part of a world in which he would never entirely belong. In that regard, David was - and remains - a poignant and unsettling reflection of his people, engaged in the nearly impossible struggle to sustain and preserve families, a language and a way of life while accommodating the increasingly intrusive ways of white society. Peopled with vivid characters, and beautifully woven stories that are funny and heartbreaking, Crazy Dave is an enchanting and unforgettable portrait of a culture struggling for survival.

Summer of the Dead by Julia Keller Pdf

High summer in Acker's Gap, West Virginia—but no one's enjoying the rugged natural landscape. Not while a killer stalks the small town and its hard-luck inhabitants. County prosecutor Bell Elkins and Sheriff Nick Fogelsong are stymied by a murderer who seems to come and go like smoke on the mountain. At the same time, Bell must deal with the return from prison of her sister, Shirley—who, like Bell, carries the indelible scars of a savage past. In Summer of the Dead, the third Julia Keller mystery chronicling the journey of Bell Elkins and her return to her Appalachian hometown, we also meet Lindy Crabtree—a coal miner's daughter with dark secrets of her own, secrets that threaten to explode into even more violence. Acker's Gap is a place of loveliness and brutality, of isolation and fierce attachments—a place where the dead rub shoulders with the living, and demand their due.

The Palace of the Moorish Kings by Jon Tuttle, based on the original short story by Evan S. Connell Pdf

Thanksgiving, 1970: The Cowboys and Packers are on TV, John Gary's on the hi-fi, and friends are gathered for their traditional American feast. Members of the Greatest Generation now settled into conventional marriages and predictable careers, they are vaguely aware of the world moving on and away from them…and that something is coming for them. An unexpected call from a world-travelling old friend suddenly makes them confront all the choices they never knew they had, and that part of themselves that has died along the way. Based on the short story by Evan S. Connell, THE PALACE OF THE MOORISH KINGS asks us which terms of surrender we must accept in order to belong, and what we must abandon to stay free.
