Between Two Worlds
This book contains stories about the life that I lived between two worlds. They are stories of always living in one and longing for the other, always being but never quite belonging. To me, living between two worlds meant living between Austria and the United States, between WW II and the Cold War, between German and English, between memories of today and memories of fifty years in the past. My hope is that you will connect with my stories as our worlds intersect in some way at some time.

James White
JamesWhite (b.1967) paints flawless black and white photorealist images. His mundane, almost incidental works, which at first glance appear to be straightforward snapshots, on closer inspection reveal themselves to be beautifully painted images.Whites paintings invest the everyday with a level of attention that is both fascinating and disturbing.White constructs his own focused world from the fragments he chooses to paint, and his works have the intensity of a crime scene photograph an unexplained moment forever captured. The details he documents lend themselves to multiple narratives that might describe the drama that inhabits these inanimate objects. In the search for evidence, the viewer is seduced by the technique of the painting, but closer scrutiny only makes it harder to define the nature of what makes the work appear so photographic, so apparently real. The absolute becomes elusive inWhites work. His world exists on the periphery of vision, where his subject matter begins and ends.
Incidental Contact
Incidental Contact is a magical realism fable blended with memoir elements to form an off beat roman a clef circling around a series of inexplicable events in the life of southern musician Jim White.
You'll Win Nothing With Kids
On Sunday mornings Jim White has the following choice: visit the supermarket, buy trellising at B'n'Q, or stand on the sidelines of a muddy municipal football pitch, his trouser cuffs wetter than a weekend in Llandudno, shoulder-to-shoulder with a motley crew of mums, dads, step-parents and same-sex life partners all screaming at their beleaguered offspring. You'll find Jim in the same place every week, failing to organise a bunch of lads into something resembling a team while on the far side of the park his opposite number, a wannabe Mourinho in brashly monogrammed tracksuit, struts the sidelines, shouting - always shouting. This is the hilarious story of Jim White's time as manager of his son's football team: the highs, the lows, and the dog turd in the centre circle. At this level, winning spirit is not so much about passion, pride and belief as praying that your star centre forward has remembered his boots. Most importantly, it's about the enduring relationship between fathers, sons and football. This is the story no one who has ever watched his or her child play sport will want to miss.

Collected Writings of James White, Vol. 1 of 2
White, James Springer (1821-1881). Preacher, author, editor, publisher, administrator. Forty-seven pamphlets, tabloids, and books in this two volume set. White was born in Maine to descendants of Mayflower passengers. He suffered health and learning problems as a child. His formal education of less than 12 months did not prevent him from obtaining a teaching certificate and teaching elementary school for a short time. The family belonged to the Christian Connexion, the first indigenous American religious movement. White was baptized at age 16 and in 1843 was ordained as a minister. Mostly due to his mother's influence White seriously evaluated and accepted the Millerite message of Christ's s...
Always in the Running
Law, Best and Charlton: the names may slip off the tongue with practised ease, but they don't make it into the Manchester United dream team as selected by Jim White, critically acclaimed author of Are You Watching, Liverpool?. Instead, we have the real heroes of the terraces: Schmeichel, Buchan, Bruce, McGrath, Morgan, Hill, Robson, Whiteside, Giggs, Hughes, Cantona and manager Alex Ferguson. This is the post-Busby squad of bad boys, wide boys and hard boys, all players who sweated red during their time at the club. Through anecdotes, interviews, eye-witness accounts and terrace chants, White builds an unmissable portrait of a team awash with everything fans look for in their heroes: loyalty, skill, passion and the ability to sink 20 pints a night. In short, a team of red dreams and blue nightmares.
