The Street Was Mine by M. Abbott Pdf

This book considers a recurrent figure in American literature: the solitary white man moving through urban space. The descendent of Nineteenth-century frontier and western heroes, the figure re-emerges in 1930-50s America as the 'tough guy'. The Street Was Mine looks to the tough guy in the works of hardboiled novelists Raymond Chandler ( The Big Sleep ) and James M. Cain ( Double Indemnity ) and their popular film noir adaptations. Focusing on the way he negotiates racial and gender 'otherness', this study argues that the tough guy embodies the promise of an impervious white masculinity amidst the turmoil of the Depression through the beginnings of the Cold War, closing with an analysis of Chester Himes, whose Harlem crime novels ( For Love of Imabelle ) unleash a ferocious revisionary critique of the tough guy tradition.

Your Life Is Mine by Nathan Ripley Pdf

Instant national bestseller Nathan Ripley follows up the success of Find You in the Dark with another suspenseful page-turner—this time about a woman whose notorious father died when she was a child, but whose legacy comes back to haunt her. Blanche Potter never expected to face her past again—but she can’t escape it. Blanche, an up-and-coming filmmaker, has distanced herself in every way she can from her father, the notorious killer and cult leader, Chuck Varner. In 1996, when she was a small child, he went on a shooting spree before turning the gun on himself. Now, Blanche learns that her mother has been murdered. She returns to her childhood home, where she soon discovers there’s more to the death than police are willing to reveal. The officer who’s handling the case is holding information back, and a journalist who’s nosing around the investigation is taking an unusual interest in Blanche’s family. Blanche begins to suspect that Chuck Varner’s cult has found a new life, and that her mother’s murder was just the beginning of the cult’s next chapter. Then another killing occurs.

Mine! by Michael A. Heller,James Salzman Pdf

“Mine” is one of the first words babies learn, and by the time we grow up, the idea of ownership seems natural, whether we are buying a cup of coffee or a house. But who controls the space behind your airplane seat: you, reclining, or the squished laptop user behind you? Why is plagiarism wrong, but it’s okay to knock off a recipe or a dress design? And after a snowstorm, why does a chair in the street hold your parking space in Chicago, while in New York you lose both the space and the chair? In Mine!, Michael Heller and James Salzman, two of the world’s leading authorities on ownership, explain these puzzles and many more. Remarkably, they reveal, there are just six simple rules that everyone uses to claim everything. Owners choose the rule that steers us to do what they want. But we can pick differently. This is true not just for airplane seats, but also for battles over digital privacy, climate change, and wealth inequality. Mine! draws on mind-bending, often infuriating, and always fascinating accounts from business, history, courtrooms, and everyday life to reveal how the rules of ownership control our lives and shape our world.

Sweet Baby Mine by Maria Daversa Pdf

Why is it all the bad things we’ve done in the past never stay in the past? Ana Storm is an American expat who lives with her husband, Tony, and two of their three adult daughters. Ana suffers from a mental illness that prevents her from believing she is worthy of love. It causes her to make grave mistakes in her life, one of which is to stay in her marriage. Her relationship with Tony is toxic, but Ana fears without him, she is nothing. So, when she receives a text from her oldest, Chloe, who is estranged from the family and wants to come home, Ana fears the worst. Mother and daughter share a secret so dark it could destroy her marriage, and Ana vows to do everything possible to prevent Chloe’s return. But her schemes and lies soon overwhelm her, and she spirals downward into a void of marital chaos, drug abuse, and sex with strange men. Then Chloe calls in the middle of the night. She’s in trouble. Now, Ana must choose. Will she turn her back on her daughter and save herself? Or will she rescue her firstborn and risk losing her husband? Set in the 20th arrondissement of Paris, Sweet Baby Mine is about the collateral damage left behind when a marriage fails spectacularly. Told in real time and from the perspectives of the two main characters: Ana and Tony, the story documents the toll secrets, lies, betrayals, and living with dysfunction can have on a couple who once believed they’d found in each other true love. The tale is brutal, oftentimes heartbreaking, but always hopeful as it never deviates from its message. On the road to self-discovery, you will eventually learn that no matter what anyone says—no matter what flawed message you believed about yourself growing up—you are a good person and deserve to be loved. A dark psychological drama, Sweet Baby Mine is unputdownable.
