Worthy of the Event
A trans essayist with a checkered past takes on the big questions of human existenceMove over Michel de Montaigne, there's a new girl in townSet against a backdrop of trans life that begins with her own transition in the 1960s, Vivian Blaxell takes us on a witty and expansive sweep through history, from Australia to Japan, to Hawai'i to Mexico, to heretofore unmapped regions of the mind. In seven devastatingly intelligent parts, her essay covers a vast range in time and space -- from the arson of a Japanese temple to a transformative encounter with a coral reef, from Nietzsche and Hegel to Indigenous metaphysics, from a perplexing relationship with a beautiful man to the unknowable minds of animals. Fleshy and philosophical, searching and exalted, utterly distinctive and assured, Worthy of the Event belatedly establishes Vivian Blaxell as one of the major writers of her generation.

A younger dancer is haunted by memories of almost dying on a boat when they escaped from Vietnam, a widow processes her husband's death through frantic Facebook postings, a writer enters an old lover's home and sees a ghost at twilight.

Diaries capture the most intimate and revealing aspects of diarists' perception of themselves and the world around them. Throughout history, fiction writers have turned to the diary genre to maximize the intimacy and credibility of their narratives and to tell stories that bridge the personal and the social.This collection is the first to make visible the historical and global scope of short stories that use diaries as a structuring form or thematic inspiration. The book gathers twenty stories that span three centuries, from ten different countries and seven different languages. Although written in a range of styles from Romanticism to science fiction to Gothic to climate fiction, these stories cohere around key diary themes: privacy and publicity, self-discovery and self-delusion, love and sexuality, gender roles and social codes, time and technology, among others. Featuring an introduction to diary fiction, guiding headnotes, and a list of additional recommended reading, Daniels-Lerberg and Henderson's anthology makes a valuable intervention in literary history by illustrating the popularity of diary fiction across the globe and in diverse literary traditions. At the intersection of autobiographical self-narrative and riveting storytelling, these works of diary fiction promise to entertain, inform, and spark new ideas in both readers and keepers of diaries.
Diaries 1999-2009: The Brand New Volume from the Beloved Author, TV Icon and Monty Python Star
THE FOURTH VOLUME OF MICHAEL PALIN'S BESTSELLING DIARIES A new millennium, and a new chapter for Michael Palin unfolds. With a Hemingway travel project testing his confidence, doubts creeping in about his abilities as a writer, the death of his great friend George Harrison and the last of his children leaving home, the dawn of the twenty-first century sees Michael at his most reflective yet. Over the next ten years, we watch through Michael's eyes as the world reels from the successive shocks of September 11, the 7/7 bombings and the global financial crash. With the warmth and gentle empathy that have endeared him to millions of fans over the decades, Michael documents the day-to-day detail of living in a world buffeted by such powerful winds of change. And amidst this turbulence, one thing remains constant: Michael's irrepressible curiosity and thirst for adventure. These diaries follow his life as he comes and goes through the filming of four blockbuster travel documentaries - Hemingway Adventure, Sahara, Himalaya and New Europe - and reaches the peak of his fame as a beloved TV traveller. And five years on from the last of his children flying the nest, Michael embarks on his greatest adventure yet: becoming a besotted grandfather. There and Back is a new window into the world of Michael Palin, one that reveals more than ever the strength and succour he draws from those ever-present supporting structures in his life: his family, his friendships and, of course, the Pythons.

Letters to My Dead Name
Richard struggled for much of his life with a mystery. Why was he uneasy and uncomfortable? Why did he feel like an imposter? In his sixties, he made a discovery that would change his life and his creative work. He realized that his life as a man did not fit with who he knew himself to be. He began the journey of transition that led him to emerge in his San Francisco community as "Richelle Lee," leaving "Richard" behind.This powerful book of poems by Richelle is a magnificent collection of metrical poetry that gifts the reader with honest passion and delightful good humor.

The Private Thoughts of a Traveling Preacher's Wife
Louisa Foster came to Texas as a child with the Old Three Hundred, the first settlers brought to Texas by Stephen F. Austin. She married a young traveling preacher from Tennessee, the Rev. Finis Foster. Unlike many women at this time, Louisa was educated and well read. During this period, discussions and critical views of religion were the domains of the men. Louisa, however, voiced her views freely and believed that women should be allowed to do so. Having turned to religion for consolation following multiple deaths in her family, Louisa organized and led her own weekly prayer group and was one of the few women to actively try to convert both men and women to her church.She kept a diary, and in these eleven journals from 1847 to 1870, Louisa recounts the difficult weather conditions, the Civil War, religion, conflicting views on slavery, the prices of goods, disease and medicine, and raising a family on the frontier in Central Texas. Louisa's youngest son, John Collier Foster, also kept a diary, from 1882 to 1883, with vivid descriptions of his social life in town and his impressions of seeing the first electric light and the first telephone. These firsthand accounts give unique insight into life in Texas in the mid-nineteenth century.
Memories of Distant Mountains
The journals of the Nobel Prize-winning author, beautifully illustrated with his own paintings For many years, Orhan Pamuk kept a record of his daily thoughts and observations, entering them in small notebooks and illustrating them with his own paintings. This book combines those notebooks into one volume. He writes about his travels around the world, his family, his writing process, and his complex relationship with his home country of Turkey. He charts the seeds of his novels and the things that inspired his characters and the plots of his stories. Intertwined in his writings are the vibrant paintings of the landscapes that surround and inspire him. A beautiful object in its own right, in Memories of Distant Mountains readers can explore Pamuk's intoxicating inner world and can have a fascinating, intimate encounter with the art, culture, and charged political currents that have shaped one of literature's most important voices.
Living a Grateful Life
In this volume, we will focus on being happier, healthier, and more positive about life through the development of the capacity to become increasingly more grateful. And there is little doubt that gratefulness, like hope, vision, and knowledge, can be achieved through the development of tools and resources that are commonly available to most of us. And let's face it, the most commonly available tools used here, in this book, are those that help us reflect on life while living it. Most of us possess this tool, that of reflection, and all of us could probably better use it to our benefit and the benefit of those around us. To aid in this reflection the reader will find many suggestions and guidelines for managing past, present and future experiences. To this end there are lots of practical examples and exercises to encourage an interactive growth process.

Violette’s Illustrated Diary of Friendship Memories, 1915 - 1930
Any diary conjures up a feeling of secrecy, of private thoughts of life experiences that are committed to the pages of a journal for a specific purpose which is close to the writer's heart. I accidentally lay my hands on Violette's diary to discover that it was a World War I heirloom and not the intimate thoughts of a young girl. In fact it is the testament of Violette's friends as they expressed their heartfelt well-wishes to her by committing them into her diary of friendship memories spanning fifteen years, from 1915 to 1930. My fortuitous discovery of Violette's tomb in the local cemetery led me to wish to reproduce the diary while attempting to elicit the feelings and emotions of such a remote and yet contemporary period of events which sadly resonate in 21st century Europe.
Breaking the Fence
Greetings from the Author. A book can do and be many things. It can transport the reader into various experiences, emotions, visions and feelings that can comfort, inform, cause tears or laughter. Breaking the Fence is the continuation of one mans life journey exposing the incredible mystery of faith, hope and love. After the book Jumping the Fence was published people wanted to know what happened when i reached the Light. Breaking the Fence brings the reader into a kingdom of two principles. Learning from great love and understanding or from great pain and suffering. Hi there, I am Kurt Chavarie born in the great state of Maine and currently living in Maryland. I love to write, fish, I enjoy traveling and nature. I was inspired to write after learning to write at age 30. Life was pretty dark growing up without those skills and it became a great adventure having acquired those skills. I wrote the book for those who said I could not do that.
