Down to a Sunset SeaWhen fifty is the new thirty what should fiftysomethings look forward to under OurGov? Respect when it's due? Respect when it's choked out of you, more likely. Yes it's true: they really are conspiring against us. And not just OurGov. Folk proudly calling themselves 'Oligarchs' (easier to pronounce than 'Kleptocrat'). Saxons wanting to link up with their Anglo-Saxon cousins. Austrians feeling ostalgie and wanting their imperial influence back. What's not legislated for isn't allowed. OurGov will provide. And if can't it'll explain why you didn't really need it in the first place. Scant consolation that if anything does go wrong, it'll never be your fault. So the vigilantsias arise. Standing up for fathers' rights and quieter Sundays. For better spoken English. Against scruffy clothes. Against the Beachhead volleyball of OurGov and its corporative vision. And in the Blogosphere thousands can see you scream. |

Tales of Mean StreetsThese stories are brilliant evocation of a narrow, close-knit community -- that of the streets of London's East End in the 1980s. Arthur Morrison prefaced his book with a list of the common misconceptions about the East End of his day, all of which ignored the human element. Having lived and worked there, he knew that his East Enders were not a race apart, unlike the denizens of the Jago, which he was later to describe so vividly in A Child of the Jago, but ordinary men and women, scraping by perhaps, but neither criminals nor paupers. He chronicled their adventures and misadventures, their wooings and their funerals, with sympathy, humor and a sense of both the tragedies and comedies to be found in the mean streets , from Lizerunt's disastrous marriage to Scuddy Lond's plausible but imperfect conversion and Squire Napper's quickly dispersed fortune. |

Bluebeard's EggBy turns humorous, warm, stark, and frightening, these stories glow with childhood memories, the reality of parents growing old, and the casual cruelty men and women inflict on one another. Here is the familiar outer world of family summers at remote lakes, winters of political activism, and seasons of exotic friends, mundane lives, and unexpected loves. But here, too, is the inner world of hidden places and all that emerges from them. 256 pp. National ads. |
