A posthumous and definitive collection of new and selected stories by "virtuoso of the short story" (Esquire) and National Book Award finalist Thom Jones. This scorching collection from award-winning author Thom Jones features his best new short fiction alongside a selection of outstanding stories from three previous books. Jones's stories are full of high-octane, prose-drunk entertainment. His characters are grifters and drifters, rogues and ne'er-do-wells, would-be do-gooders whose human frailties usually get the better of them. Some are lovable, others are not, but each has an indelible and irresistible voice. They include Vietnam soldiers, amateur boxers, devoted doctors, strung-out advertising writers, pill poppers and veterans of the psych ward, and an unforgettable adolescent DJ radio host, among others. The stories here are excursions into a unique world that veers between abject desperation and fleeting transcendence. Perhaps no other writer in recent memory could encapsulate in such short spaces the profound and the devastating, the poignant and the hallucinatory, with such an exquisite balance of darkness and light. Jones's fiction reveals again and again the resilience and grace of characters who refuse to succumb. In stories that can at once delight us with their wicked humor and sting us with their affecting pathos, Night Train perfectly captures the essence of this iconic American master, showcasing in a single collection the breadth of power of his inimitable fiction.
Following his celebrated debut collection, The Pugilist at Rest, National Book Award nominee Thom Jones delivers a lacerating collection of stories that plunges us once again into an edgy, adrenalized world of desire, mania, and rage. In ten new stories, Jones introduces us to hard-luck fighters steeling themselves for battles they've already lost, doctors who fall in love with their illnesses, and a strung-out advertising writer who uses the hand of the devil to do the work of God. At the end of the day, the only ones still standing have gone head-to-head with the world's brutality--and remain ready, hopelessly potent yet irreversibly doomed, to battle all over again. Thom Jones has a wicked appetite for existential calamity and unflagging humor in its presence; his writing is mesmerizing, sometimes fevered, and impossible to put down. Cold Snap resoundingly confirms what thousands already know: Thom Jones is here to stay.
Writing Women Across Borders and Categories by Martina Ghosh-Schellhorn Pdf
" Generally held to be rigid, borders and categories are nonetheless expanded when those bounded by the demarcations of hegemony, challenge its strictures. Significant instances of this constructive transgression can be found in the women's writing with which this collection of essays by international critics engages. Whereas in travel writing by women (Sarah Hobson, Dervla Murphy, Jan Morris) `transgression' is seen to have settled into a familiar strategy, in autobiography (Ann Fanshawe. Margaret Cavendish, Christine Brooke-Rose), cultural analysis (Virginia Woolf, Marianna Torgovnick, Donna Haraway), and fiction (Michelle Cliff, Jeanette Winterson, Ellen Galford, Fiona Cooper), women have succeeded in creating an innovative space for themselves. "
This important book challenges the idea that religious fundamentalism can adequately be understood as a paranoid, xenophobic faith. It demonstrates instead how it draws upon a long tradition of evangelical and millenialist scripture in its engagement with issues at the spiritual and ethical core of postmodernity in the United States. The author examines the varieties of fundamentalism as they appear in prophecy, sermon, film and fiction. In its wide-ranging consideration of the rhetoric of the New World Order, the literature of prophecy, Cold War films, television evangelism, cross-border texts, and post-nationalist writing, Fundamentalism in America provides a vital and compelling account of the present state of religious and nationality identity in the United States.
Read an interview with Karen Thornber. In Global Healing: Literature, Advocacy, Care, Karen Laura Thornber analyzes how narratives from diverse communities globally engage with a broad variety of diseases and other serious health conditions and advocate for empathic, compassionate, and respectful care that facilitates healing and enables wellbeing. The three parts of this book discuss writings from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Oceania that implore societies to shatter the devastating social stigmas which prevent billions from accessing effective care; to increase the availability of quality person-focused healthcare; and to prioritize partnerships that facilitate healing and enable wellbeing for both patients and loved ones. Thornber’s Global Healing remaps the contours of comparative literature, world literature, the medical humanities, and the health humanities.

Deep Down in the Jungle... by Roger D. Abrahams Pdf
With the growth of interest in folklore, it becomes increasingly evident that the presentation of a collection needs some rationale more than the fact that traditional materials have been collected and properly annotated. Much has been gathered and is now accessible through journals, archives, and lists. If a corpus of lore is not presented in some way, which bears new light on the process of word-of-mouth transmission, on traditional forms or expressions, or on the group among whom the lore was encountered, there is little reason to present it to the public. This work represents an attempt to present a body of folklore collected among one small group of Black Americans in a neighborhood in South Philadelphia. The author's approach toward collection and presentation has been intensive. He has tried to collect "in depth," and to recreate in his presentation the social background in which the lore was found, and to relate the lore with the life and the values of the group. Abraham's work is a departure from any past methods of analyzing folklore, and therefore a description of the author's point of view and his method will be given first. The majority of this work was written before his methodology was actually formulated. However throughout the project û the object was to illuminate as fully as possible the lore of one small group of African Americans from urban Philadelphia. The methodology, which developed, did so because of this objective more than anything else. Though the formulation of this theory may seem ex post facto, it is included because it clarified much during the rewritings of this book, and more importantly, because it will clarify many matters for the lay reader and for the professional folklorist.

From dementia to adventure, in the travel literature genre, is an experiential journey in and around Peru. Neil Mapes put his life in London, which included working with people with dementia, on hold to take a career break in Peru. The two-month journey took place during August and September of 2001 and involved the lone circumnavigation of an enchanting country. London and dementia are swapped for Lima and adventure. The struggles with dementia are left behind for new adventures. After the dirt and danger of Lima the journey proceeds down the coast to the tourist highlight of Pisco and the natural beauty of Las Islas Ballestras. Then it is onward into the depths of the Andes to Arequipa, Lake Titicaca, Cuzco and the famous Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. The mountains are left behind as the journey flows into the Amazon jungle and weeks are spent getting lost in time and space before traversing the Andes once more to experience the lesser travelled towns and cities of the North coast before returning to Lima. The country and its many offerings are seen at first hand and reflected on with humour and compassion. This work is like a cross between ‘Round Ireland with a fridge’ and ‘The Celestine prophecy.’ It explores the highs and lows of independent travel and how enriching this form of travel is. It is aimed both at the serious traveller, who wants to take a break from their current career life and get a feel of the country they are to visit in a way that a guidebook cannot provide, and the armchair traveller who is in search of escape into a new world. It will appeal to people who like to reflect on the experiences of meeting people and visiting places. The primary theme throughout is one of connecting with the local people and the landscape. There are many Peruvians who are met and influence this journey. Some of these include Armando who dispenses his advice on his beloved country, Monica the barmaid in the fishing town of Pisco, there is the Ayahuasca jungle artist called George, Christian missionaries on the north coast and love with a girl named Elsa on the way back to Lima. The secondary theme is that of spiritual discovery and development. The stresses of modern city life are put on hold to reflect on what is important in life - time for the soul to grow. At each stage of the journey there is time for inner searching and contemplation. The questions asked are the central questions that exist in all our lives, for example: ‘What am I here for?’ ‘What am I doing with my life? It aims to allow people to discover their own spirituality, to assess where their lives are going and how to make the best of the time we each have. For the many readers that may have found themselves wrapped up in a career they no longer care for, or one in which they are becoming weary, this work gives them one example of how to break this downward spiral. If each person that reads this work asks himself or herself the following question then the writing will have achieved its goal. ‘What do I really want to do and to be before I die?’
