Tales Times Ten by Eligah Boykin Pdf

Here is a new book of ten short stories from the author of ALPHONSO GENTLE! TALES TIMES TEN will begin with the struggles of an up and coming young professional stage magician. We find him playing finders keepers as MISTER MAGIC here in Detroit. Next, in a TWINKLING OF AN EYE, we are a witness to one of those old time negotiations for a better life. After that, we visit a library of the future as a student requests THE DOCTOR CLARK FILES in order to study the taboo deviant sexual behavior of members of the Twentieth Century. Then we are invited into the thought process of an architect doing a little puzzle to kill time in HOLY CROSSWORD DOROTHY. This is followed by an examination of TACTILE UNDERSTANDING. Better than halfway through we are invited to the TECHTOWN BOOK CLUB. We barely close the book on this adventure when we are alerted to the din that comes from the LAND OF A THOUSAND CRIES. Back to the future we go now when the screams die down for a further learned examination of the state of SEX EDUCATION. Thoroughly briefed, after this, on study materials and classroom requirements, we then go SOLVING FOR X in the here and now. Finally, with all this said and done, we get out the handcuffs and go for our guns as we are very firmly affixing our SPIRITUAL SIGNATURE to this TALES TIMES TEN.

From the pen of Mick Jackson, author of The Underground Man and Five Boys, come these ten acclaimed tales. Featuring undertakers, dark forests, resurrected butterflies and a singularly mean-spirited horse, the stories are nevertheless rooted in the realistic and all too recognisable world of retirement, loneliness, and childhood boredom. By turns funny, scary and heartbreaking, they are always illuminating, and further evidence of one of the most original and brilliant imaginations in contemporary fiction.

Ten Traveller's Tales by Julian Worker Pdf

Go on a quick visit to three different continents. Visit Vancouver and its surrounding areas – go hiking in rain forest twenty minutes from the downtown core, catch the ferry to the Sunshine Coast – you can't get there by road - and tour Victoria the capital of British Columbia. Next travel to Cape Town with its colourful history, encapsulated in the ethnically diverse Bo Kaap district. In this part of Cape Town the coloured houses are even more breathtaking than the views of Table Mountain. Read about the conversations you could have in the market in Cape Town's Greenmarket Square. Finally, journey to the independent countries of the Baltic and discover the splendid churches of the capitals Tallinn and Riga where the architecture is breathtaking and the number of tourists is still relatively few.

Monkey Tales and Other Short Stories by Mahmoud Hirji Pdf

Monkey Tales and other Short Stories is a collection of 14 short stories based on the author’s life growing up in East Africa, his global travels, experiences working in Canada and abroad, and more. Hirji deftly blurs the boundaries between memoir and fiction, creating vivid characters such as Aziz, who stars prominently in many stories, along with nefarious biker and monkey gangs, a gruesome toilet cleaner, a beautiful haunted spirit, endearing old women, sexy girlfriends, nudes and others who leap off the pages in their largesse. Stories come to life with Hirji’s vivid prose: you can practically smell the puri bubbling in oil and feel the victim’s terror when he takes on an unlikely intruder in a riotous showdown. Although Monkey Tales teases out humour and suspense in its stories, there’s plenty of poignancy in the collection, too. Whether facing financial hardship or racial bias, the characters demonstrate resilience and good nature as they struggle for survival between both humankind and the animal kingdom.
