Galbraith the great crash5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() Like his father, James Galbraith is an economist and public intellectual. Some of these are picked out by his son, James Kenneth Galbraith, in his introduction written in the wake of the financial crash in 2008-09. In The Great Crash 1929, Galbraith, who died in 2006, wrote a pacey and witty classic of clearly written economics for the general reader packed with lessons for today. Written over one summer in the Baker Library at Dartmouth College, the book became an instant best-seller and sales have spiked at every financial crisis since. "A good knowledge of what happened in 1929 remains our best safeguard against the recurrence of the more unhappy events of those days", wrote John Kenneth Galbraith in The Great Crash 1929– first published in 1954 and re-published in May 2021 as a Penguin Modern Classic. ![]()

Use by C.D. Reiss5/19/2023 ![]() You can use any of the below links to get an announcement. I expect a preorder button will go up around 3/10 or so. Spin, book one in Songs of Corruption is due to be released on 3/13, two days early. ![]() ![]() If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles.Ĭritics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once-over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. ![]() Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.īorn in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. In the end, did I stab him to be free of him? And free to what? Fuck? Snort? Party? Or free to be normal?ĬD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. ![]()

Tempus by Janet E. Morris5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() “The fury he’d once thought was lent him by a god raged inside him. ![]() ‘It’s your altar they took down.’ But the god was silent.” In the final analysis, the emotions given us by the gods are not external to us. When the altar of the god of war is destroyed, “‘Well, Vashanka?’ he tested. ![]() There are conversations with gods, and pleas that end up neglected. This is what this story, with Tempus in the lead, is about: “He has ridden at a devil’s pace out of the sanctuary, home to the Stepsons’ barracks, which once had been a slaver’s estate and thus had rooms enough for Tempus to allow his hard-won mercenaries the luxury of piracy.”Īs the immortal commander of the Sacred Band cavalry, Tempus is at once blessed and cursed with his fate: “He lived interminably, though he could not sleep at all… And wounds he took healed quickly - instantly if the god loved him that day, more slowly if they had been quarreling.” Here is a delightfully pagan, mythological world, where gods have caprices just like us, and strife abounds in their realm, which is reflected in ours. The title “Beyond Sanctuary” suggests to me a journey of exploration, setting out of known place, where it is safe to remain ensconced, to risk life and limb in a fight, a brutal war between forces of good and of evil. ![]()

Surrounded by Love by Murray Bodo5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() The Seventh Teaching: The Joy of Humble Praise and Service of God.The Sixth Teaching: All Creatures Are Our Brothers and Sisters.The Fourth Teaching: Go and Repair God's House.The Second Teaching: The Paradox of Evangelical Poverty.The First Teaching: The Wonder of the Incarnation. ![]() You, too, can follow in Jesus' footsteps with these teachings: In this, as in everything else, he was following in the footsteps of Jesus, who is the mystery of the fullness of God among us. Francis was not a medieval theologian but a teacher of wisdom who used sayings, stories, and rituals to show us how we can allow God to transform our lives. The seven teachings outlined here-plus an eighth teaching on love, the teaching behind all teachings-define a spirituality for our own time that anyone can learn to practice in his or her own life, anyone who has an attitude of reverence for others and for the earth and all of nature, and who acknowledges the existence of a higher power that is beyond what one can perceive with the senses. St Francis invites us to go on a journey from love through love into love. These seven teachings are both a way and a destination, the way being transformation and the destination being the love of God. Francis of Assisi in the prayerful, lyrical style his readers will recognize. Murray Bodo, OFM, brings to life seven teachings from the life and writings of St. ![]()

Heroines by kate zambreno5/18/2023 ![]() Widely reposted, Zambreno's blog became an outlet for her highly informed and passionate rants about the fates of the modernist "wives and mistresses." In her blog entries, Zambreno reclaimed the traditionally pathologized biographies of Vivienne Eliot, Jane Bowles, Jean Rhys, and Zelda Fitzgerald: writers and artists themselves who served as male writers' muses only to end their lives silenced, erased, and institutionalized. Taking the self out feels like obeying a gag order-pretending an objectivity where there is nothing objective about the experience of confronting and engaging with and swooning over literature."-from Heroines On the last day of December, 2009 Kate Zambreno began a blog called Frances Farmer Is My Sister, arising from her obsession with the female modernists and her recent transplantation to Akron, Ohio, where her husband held a university job. ![]() I am beginning to realize that taking the self out of our essays is a form of repression. ![]() ![]() A manifesto for "toxic girls" that reclaims the wives and mistresses of modernism for literature and feminism. ![]() |
