Описание: (Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) Here for the first time in one volume are two classic, brilliantly original works on the experience of Chinese immigrants in America. In both books Maxine Hong Kingston mines her family s past and her culture s stories, weaving myth and memory to fashion works of enormous revelatory power. "The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts," which won the National Book Critics Circle Award, is Kingston s disturbing and fiercely beautiful account of growing up Chinese-American in California. The young Kingston lives in two worlds: the America to which her parents have emigrated, a place inhabited by white ghosts, and the China of her mother s talk stories, a place haunted by the ghosts of the past. Her mother, who had been a doctor in China but in the United States is reduced to running a laundry, tells her daughter traditional tales of strong, wily women warriorstales that clash puzzlingly with the real oppression of Chinese women. Kingston learns to fill in the mystifying spaces in her mother s stories with stories of her own, engaging her family s past and her own present with anger, imagination, and dazzling passion. "China Men," a National Book Award winner for fiction, is Kingston s unforgettable imaginative journey into the hearts and minds of generations of Chinese men in America, from those who worked on the transcontinental railroad in the 1840s to those who fought in Vietnam. Mixing vivid fables and legends, personal stories from her own family, and details of the historical hardships faced by Chinese immigrants in different times and places, Kingston illuminates their long, arduous search for the Gold Mountain."

Описание: Sophisticated Giant presents the life and legacy of tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon (1923-1990), one of the major innovators of modern jazz. In a context of biography, history, and memoir, Maxine Gordon has completed the book that her late husband began, weaving his "solo" turns with her voice and a chorus of voices from past and present. Reading like a jazz composition, the blend of research, anecdote, and a selection of Dexter's personal letters reflects his colorful life and legendary times. It is clear why the celebrated trumpet genius Dizzy Gillespie said to Dexter, "Man, you ought to leave your karma to science." Dexter Gordon--the icon--is the Dexter beloved and celebrated on albums, on film, and in jazz lore--even in a street named for him in Copenhagen. But this image of the cool jazzman fails to come to terms with the three-dimensional man full of humor and wisdom, a figure who struggled to reconcile being both a creative outsider who broke the rules and a comforting insider who was a son, father, husband, and world citizen. This essential book is an attempt to fill in the gaps, the gaps created by our misperceptions, but also the gaps left by Dexter himself.

As Clay confronts his new assignment, he reconnects with the woman of his dreams and struggles unsuccessfully to keep his demons at bay.The euphoria of Clay's relationship is overwhelmed by a progression of devastating events as witnesses go silent and a corrupt clan of police officers seeks to protect the prime suspect.

Описание: IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, I GREET YOU, BELOVED READERS For those of you who are kind enough to have read my first literary work, A Saintly Journey Home and am a returning reader, I heartily appreciate this. For the new ones, welcome aboard. (God willing, I'll complete two more sequels following this latest one.) Once again, I'm Maxine Rose Gladden, quite a novice at this thing called "professional writing," and I'm enjoying the experience of accom-plishing what the Lord God blesses me to do As a "Born Again" daughter-servant of the Most-High God, I minister as a street evangelist and novice Theological writer. (I'm also told that I do some decent singing, bless their souls. ) Besides, I'm a retired healthcare provided who is a mother of three, grand-mother of one, all of whom are worth my very life To an extent, I continue to follow the footsteps of the great John Bunyan, who was blessed to pen both The Pilgrim s Progress and its sequel The Pilgrim s Progress 2: Christiana s Story . Notably, unlike the settings in Mr. Bunyan's literary work, the Lord has blessed me to pen scenarios in a more contemporary storyline. But, my endeavor is to inspire readers to realize God's absolute declaration: "I am the Lord, I change not..." (Malachi 3:6a, cross-ref.: Hebrews 13:8.) Just as stated in my first book, I sincerely believe that if a fellow-saint were to travel the halls of time and visit our age or vice versa, the only difference would be the variance in lifestyle, but not the experience of living a Christ-like holy life In the company of brothers and sisters in the Body of Christ of the applicable era to assist with their adjustment, the traveler would find both the Living Word (Jesus Christ) and the Written Word (the Bible) ENTIRELY RELEVANT as in their own day.
