Not a Clue by Chloé Delaume Pdf

In this life-size game of Clue, six psychiatric patients in Paris's Saint Anne's Hospital are suspects in the murder of Dr. Black. Though Not a Clue tells the stories of these possible assassins, their lives, and what has brought them to the hospital, the true focus of Chloé Delaume's intense and tumultuous novel is not merely to discover the identity of the murderer. Rather, by cleverly combining humor with the day-to-day effects of life's unrelenting compromises, Not a Clue is an astute commentary on the current state of literary production and consumption. Masterfully juggling an omniscient narratrix, an accusing murder victim, at least six possible suspects as well as their psychiatrists, and a writer who intervenes by refusing to intervene, Delaume uses the characters, weapons, and rooms of the board game Clue to challenge--sometimes violently, sometimes playfully--the norms of typography, syntax, and narrative conventions.

The Second Book of Job(s) by Roland Verfaillie Pdf

Dr. Jack Mc Kane returns to continue where he left off in the first book of job(s): In search of the fatted calf of jobs. The odds of finding such a sweet job is unlikely. It doesn't matter to Jack that he is wasting his energies on fruitless enterprises invariably resulting in extended periods of uncompensated unemployment. Jack, once more, travels the world; expanding his search beyond his native shores. His brooding, tragic, Irish outlook on life puts him in the company of the Bible's own Charlie Brown - Job. However, unlike Job, Jack isn't going down without cursing the gods and spitting into the wind. For all his irreverence and blasphemy he is shameless. He says he'll recant it all, and ask forgiveness from his deathbed if beseeched by the angels to repent, and offered an endless vacation in the afterlife. In this sequel, Jack gets more than he bargains for. It just goes to show; that there's something to the admonition: Be careful what you wish for...

Every Day Is Like Sunday by Paul Vlitos Pdf

A brilliantly funny rallying cry for anyone who has ever had that sinking Sunday night moment... That Sunday feeling... The weekend's over, there's nothing on TV except for the Antiques Roadshow. The only thing you can do is face the fact that the working week is just around the corner. And for Matt Bletch, the working week is not a prospect to be relished. He's moved to middle of nowhere and taken a job at the only school that would have him. Surrounded by social misfits, clowns and psychopaths (and that's just his fellow teachers) he's left his girlfriend, social life and sanity back in London in the hope of earning some cash and maybe even finishing off his novel in the school holidays. Unfortunately, no one told Matt that a year spent in the dead-end town of Buxdon is unlikely to get the creative juices flowing. Walking through town before the first week of term, everything is grey, damp and smells slightly dubious. Will he ever tempt his girlfriend down to stay? Will the kids lynch him? And will Matt survive a year in the place where every day is like Sunday?
