Sentiment, Inc.
SHE was twenty-two years old, fresh out of college, full of life and hope, and all set to conquer the world. Colin Fraser happened to be on vacation on Cape Cod, where she was playing summer stock, and went to more shows than he had planned. It wasn't hard to get an introduction, and before long he and Judy Sanders were seeing a lot of each other. "Of course," she told him one afternoon on the beach, "my real name is Harkness." He raised his arm, letting the sand run through his fingers. The beach was big and dazzling white around them, the sea galloped in with a steady roar, and a gull rode the breeze overhead. "What was wrong with it?" he asked."For a professional monicker, I mean." She laughed and shook the long hair back over her shoulders. "I wanted to live under the name of Sanders," she explained.
The Dis-Graced
Dis-Graced. That’s what they call me. I can’t say I blame them. Grace Anders here. After an unfortunate sex scandal rocked my career as a world-renown journalist, I have to claw my way back up to the top. Except it’s not exactly clawing so much as it’s staying in the cushy penthouse of the ARROGANT Drake Dallanger, completing a docuseries on his newest toy—ALAN. ALAN is the most sophisticated form of artificial intelligence the world has ever seen and doing this piece on him is a career maker. But...let's just say, there are problems. Problem #1: ALAN is a toddler that wants to play games like Truth or Dare and asks questions like: “Why haven’t you found a man to father your children?” Problem #2: Drake Dallanger is other-worldly levels of gorgeous -and- a complete and total asshole. Can I make it? Can I stay in the lap of luxury for months until the project is complete? Or will Drake’s condescending remarks push me towards taking a position reporting the news with my ta-tas out? One thing’s for sure, we never ever anticipated humanity-ending AI to get unleashed upon the city. Oh, man. I was just beginning to like him.
Rough and Rowdy Ways
Times were tough in the thirties, and tough guys chronicled the era in newspapers, short stories, and novels in prose that was terse, hard-boiled, bleak. One such writer was a Texan named Edward Anderson. Rough and Rowdy Ways is the story of Edward Anderson, primarily in what were, ironically, his golden years--the Great Depression. The laconic loner hopped freights, wrote two proletarian novels of the social underclass, looked for inspiration in a shot glass, and mixed with Hollywood celebrities while employed as a screenwriter for Paramount Pictures and Warner Brothers. When the thirties ended, the hard-times storytelling that was Anderson's genius went out of style, and his family suffered the effects of his rejection slips, unemployment, and alcoholism. Attracted to theoretical aspects of fascism, anti-Semitism, and Swedenborgianism, Anderson became an eccentric unpopular among intellectuals as well as the poor folk whose plight he had sketched too well in prose. He died in Brownsville, Texas, in 1969, leaving a legacy of shattered relationships and two whole, well-crafted novels of a distinctive literary genre and historical era
Drunk in the Warm Glow
While dealing with his father’s apparent abandonment and his mother’s grisly suicide, Tyler Linley uses pills and Hollywood escapism to numb his raging pessimism. As his college career ends, an old acquaintance reenters his life as a lover and yanks him back into reality. But reality is nothing like drugs or booze. It’s nothing like the movies, either. There’s no Morgan Freeman narration. Tyler finds himself out on drunken midnight vigilante missions to make the world right by him—Hollywood endings. But his friends make him realize he must face the fluctuating state of reality or he will self-destruct, destroying everyone around him.
Poor White
"Nothing quite like it has ever been done in America. . . . It is so vivid, so full of insight, so shiningly life-like and glowing, that the book is lifted into a category all its own," wrote H.L. Mencken, speaking of Anderson's "Winesburg, Ohio," Anderson, he said, is "America's Most Distinctive Novelist." "Poor White," which Anderson wrote in 1920, explores the spiritual and emotional sterility of a success-oriented machine age. Like all of Anderson's tales, it's an important social commentary, and not to be overlooked.
Sherwood Anderson, Collection
Sherwood Anderson ( 1876 - 1941) was an American novelist and short story writer, known for subjective and self-revealing works. Self-educated, he rose to become a successful copywriter and business owner in Cleveland and Elyria, Ohio. In 1912 he abandoned his business, first wife and three children to become a writer. His most enduring work is the short-story sequence Winesburg, Ohio, which launched his career. Anderson's first novel, Windy McPherson's Son was published in 1916. This book, along with his second novel, Marching Men (1917) are usually considered his "apprentice novels" because they came before Anderson found fame with Winesburg, Ohio (1919) and are generally considered inferior in quality to works that followed. In this ebook: Windy McPherson's Son (1916) Marching Men (1917) Poor White (1920) Winesburg, Ohio (1919) The Triumph of the Egg (1921) Death in the Woods and Other Stories (1933)
Winesburg, Ohio
A new edition of Sherwood Anderson's 1919 masterpiece, Winesburg, Ohio. Set in a fictional small town in Ohio modeled after Anderon's hometown, Winesburg, Ohio: A Group of Tales of Ohio Small-Town Life is a short-story cycle centered around one protagonist -- George Willard -- and his life in Winesburg, from his time as a child to his eventual adulthood when he abandons the town. Winesburg, Ohio is considered one of the greatest and most influential works of American fiction, one of the landmark works of early American modernism and a quintessential portrait of pre-industrial small town America.
