Lament for Spilt Porter
During the past thirty years, Larry McCloskey has become an accomplished writer, while his day job/vocation has been working with students with disabilities. He wrote Lament for Spilt Porter with a sense of urgency born of the need to reconcile a haunting sense of loss with our muted desire to find our way home. The desire for home—how we fit into this life and anticipate the next—is our most basic spiritual impulse, fueling our hopes and fears, passions and pathologies. But sadly, for many of us, the hunger for home has been supplanted by the primacy of self, with predictable results. At a time and in a place of greatest affluence and freedom, with technological means to connect all of ...
Unspoken
Siobhan won't run and her dad won't talk. She loves the piano and Sean loves the marathon. Father and daughter seem to have nothing in common, and how they feel about each other remains unspoken. But things are not always as they seem. Siobhan and Sean each make a secret sacrifice to the other which speaks volumes, and their quiet, predictable, unspoken lives will never be the same.
University of Lost Causes
After serving as Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger did a stint at Harvard whereupon he said, "University politics makes me pine for the relative peace of the Middle East." Which sets the stage for ubiquitous murderous intent, mysterious multiple murders, identity politics run amok, and satire for the absurd age in which we live." University of Lost Causes is a novel for our absurd and troubled times. It is a creative, humane, and unique treatment of a controversial topic that can be enjoyed regardless of one's personal politics. This character-driven novel is antithetical to taking entrenched and polarized political stances that have become endemic in these uber serious, humorless times. St Jude's University, a fictitious New England university, at an unspecified time after Covid, is determined to become the most woke ivory tower in the world. Thank God things don't always turn out as planned.
Inarticulate Speech of the Heart
For 40 years, Larry McCloskey has had the privilege of working with persons with disabilities. He applied for a job, which grew into a profession, which—because of the people—became a welcomed vocation. The people in this account might be regarded as common or even unexceptional by modern celebrity culture, but to the examining mind they are really quite astonishing. Here, Larry reveals that the most spectacular lives, those that can best instruct us on how to live life well, regardless of circumstance, tend to pass quietly and unnoticed by the distracted majority. Inarticulate Speech of the Heart, winner of the Word Guild Best Manuscript Award, exposes the deeper meaning in people’s lives beyond the material world restrictions and trendy nihilistic thinking. “Character,” Larry asserts, “is determined by how we play the cards we have been dealt,” and in this book he attempts to articulate what can only be characterized as the inarticulate speech of its characters’ perfect but wounded hearts. Prepare to be astonished and affected profoundly. “Winner of the 2020 Word Guild Best New Manuscript Award”
Murder Fit for a King
Dani and Caitlin, two 12-year-old Ottawa girls, have a talent for meeting ghosts. Fresh from their adventures with the spirit of fabled Canadian painter Tom Thomson, the girls find themselves in Quebec, across the river from the capital city of Canada, touring the Kingsmere estate of longdead prime minister William Lyon Mackenzie King. While there the friends run into someone famous for seeing ghosts himself — the old prime minister, or at least his phantom! King, affectionately known as Rex, presents the sleuthing duo with a series of problems. It seems developers are keen on despoiling the dead prime minister's estate, not to mention another city park dear to Caitlin's heart. Thrown into the mix are a couple of murders, a former prime minister's place in history, and maybe even a federal crime. Dani and Caitlin are on the job, and the politicians on Parliament Hill better watch out!
