Описание: Pirates are still out there, flintlock pistols and schooners traded for assault rifles and black-painted Zodiacs.


Based on his experience as an international lawyer and pilot, Timothy Grant Acker tells a riveting tale of modern-day pirates in the unpredictable waters of the Caribbean.


The statute of limitations has run, so the story can now be told.


Juans crew of outcasts and thieves from various countries lived at the edge of a dusty village in Southern Haiti, not far from the Dominican Republic border. They were safe in Haiti-a country of refuge for pirates and thieves, for injustice and abuse.

The village itself consisted of fewer than a hundred hovels of sticks, paper, and earth, all clustered together. The inhabitants made their living from fishing and meager farming. Their bodies were thin, and souls depressed. It was typical Haiti.

The pirates neighborhood, though, prospered a little from the thieves spending. A few residents dedicated a portion of their homes to selling groceries, supplies, and light hardware, or providing their skills-a couple of seamstresses, a mechanic, and a panga boat repairman. Opportunities to buy alcohol and drugs were abundant, as were women who offered the usual services. A policeman was paid by Juan to guard his belongings, prevent problems, and report on everything that happened. He was always wearing the mock badge Juan once pinned on him.


Pirates, Scoundrels, and Saints tells the riveting tales of modern-day pirates in the unpredictable waters of the Caribbean-not Jack Sparrow caricatures, but real men and women driven by their pasts.


⚠ Juan is fiercely loyal to his crew and loves adventure, but did he bite off too much by attacking a luxury cruise ship filled with Argentinas ruthless elites?


⚠ His son, Ivan longs to build a respectable life with the beautiful daughter of a prominent Dominican Republic family, but how can he convince Ileana that he is no longer a ruthless pirate?


⚠ Marias life fell apart when her father died at sea, but she found a new one climbing the ranks of Juans crew. When shes nearly killed leading their most ambitious raid, Maria begins to regret her new life.


⚠ Peter, an American expatriate, was a Catholic missionary until alcohol cost him everything. Wondering the hills of Haiti in search of redemption, he begins caring for a young lady who is recovering from a gunshot that should have killed her.


Timothy Grant Acker creates an unforgettable cast that brings us into a world filled with danger and corruption, love and redemption.

Описание:

The tempestuous email correspondence between Kathy Acker and McKenzie Wark, shimmering with insight, gossip, sex, and cultural commentary.

"Why am I telling you all this? Partly 'cause the whole queerness/identity thing for me stretches through everything, absolutely everything. Slipping between straight/gay is child's play compared to slipping between writer/teacher/influence-peddler whatever. I forget who I am. You reminded me of who I prefer to be." M.W.]

"It's two in the morning... I know what you mean about slipping roles: I love it, going high low, power helpless even captive, male female, all over the place, space totally together and brain-sharp, if it wasn't for play I'd be bored stiff and I think boredom is the emotion I find most unbearable... " KA]
-- from I'm Very into You

After Kathy Acker met McKenzie Wark on a trip to Australia in 1995, they had a brief fling and immediately began a heated two-week email correspondence. Their emails shimmer with insight, gossip, sex, and cultural commentary. They write in a frenzy, several times a day; their emails cross somewhere over the International Date Line, and themselves become a site of analysis. What results is an index of how two brilliant and idiosyncratic writers might go about a courtship across 7,500 miles of airspace -- by pulling in Alfred Hitchcock, stuffed animals, Georges Bataille, Elvis Presley, phenomenology, Marxism, The X-files, psychoanalysis, and the I Ching.

Their corresepondence is a Plato's Symposium for the twenty-first century, but written for queers, transsexuals, nerds, and book geeks. I'm Very Into You is a text of incipience, a text of beginnings, and a set of notes on the short, shared passage of two iconic individuals of our time.

Описание: While growing up in the Midwest, author Shirley Hansen Acker could never have imagined the experiences she'd be exposed to in her adult life. In Ten Minutes to Rake the Carpet, she offers a memoir describing a host of interesting events spanning nearly eight decades. Acker shares stories about hosting comedian Red Skelton in her living room, walking a college campus with Shirley Temple Black, furnishing and decorating a 5,500-square-foot home, preparing for and hosting 200 people with only a student helper, and snorkeling and swimming at the university natatorium. She tells what it was like to attend a one-room country school, to tour China with a People to People group, to stand in line to buy bread and visit a private farmer in the Republic of Belarus, and to watch gazelles, zebras, and wildebeest on Kenya's Serengeti Plain. Ten Minutes to Rake the Carpet narrates the stories of a wide range of Acker's experiences, communicating the message that there's much to be gained by reaching out, entering new territory, and adjusting to the challenges and surprises life presents.
