Button Man
During the scorching hot summer of 1988, Michael Dukakis leads George Bush senior in the polls. And while political conventions, campaigns continue to be in session, Hawk and the rest of the "button gang" sell their buttons first to Democrats in Atlanta, then Republicans in New Orleans. As always, the gang sells to either side of any persuasion, offering a unique underview of the American political process, amoral hucksterism, and a corrupted form of capitalism. Sought after by loan sharks and his girlfriend’s Ginsu-wielding ex-husband, Hawk is a witty and likeable character full of street smarts and unmatchable survival instincts. His story explores trust-and trust betrayed, along with th...
What Ever Happened to What I Wrote
What Ever Happened to What I Wrote is a second memoir from writer and diarist Paul K. Lyons. In his first memoir, he reflected on a repressed childhood, as well his young adult years of travelling, and searching for meaning as well as excitement in the arts and love affairs. By his mid-30s, Lyons has become a father (to Adam), a role he relishes but one which brings challenges, practical, emotional and social. And, like all else in his life, he tends to meet these challenges and compromises in unconventional ways. As with the first memoir, this is a patchwork of themed chapters, each one focused on a different aspect of Lyons's life. Two chapters examine his role as a parent within, what he ...
Brighton in Diaries
This fascinating collection of extracts contains diarists famous and ordinary, young and old, serious and cynical, but with Brighton always setting the scene. Many legendary writers - including Walter Scott, Arnold Bennett and Virginia Woolf (who described Brighton as 'a love corner for slugs') – inhabit these pages, often appearing in their most unguarded guises. Here also are less well-known characters, such William Tayler (a footman), Gideon Mantell (a surgeon and dinosaur bone collector), and Xue Fucheng (an early Chinese diplomat). There are also several diarists whose writing has never appeared in print before - Olive Stammer, for example, who kept a diary during the Second World War; and Ross Reeves, a young gay musician whose diary extracts are from 2005-2006. By turn insightful, hilarious and profound, Brighton in Diaries will delight residents and visitors alike.
New Left, New Right, and the Legacy of the Sixties
Lyons concludes that despite all of the progress initiated by the political momentum of the Sixties, we as Americans are still plagued by debates about issues like multiculturalism, Afrocentrism, and affirmative action, and in order to effectively address these issues today, we must acknowledge and accept the contributions made by both movements.
Irregular Connections
Irregular Connections traces the anthropological study of sex from the eighteenth century to the present, focusing primarily on social and cultural anthropology and the work done by researchers in North America and Great Britain. Andrew P. and Harriet D. Lyons argue that the sexuality of those whom anthropologists studied has been conscripted into Western discourses about sex, including debates about prostitution, homosexuality, divorce, premarital relations, and hierarchies of gender, class, and race. Because sex is the most private of activities and often carries a high emotional charge, it is peculiarly difficult to investigate. At times, such as the late 1920s and the last decade of the ...
The Little Red Book of Gambling Wisdom
From Casablanca to The Hustler, from Moby Dick to How I Made $1,000,000 Playing Poker, these widely varied musings address the entire range of human emotion—the highs of excitement of the “juice” down to the depths of despair of losing. Covered here are gaming’s universality and history, superstition and luck, players and places, and also every game, from the lowliest back-alley crap shoot to the highest-stakes poker contest and everything in between. You’ll find quotable phrases from luminaries like Plato and Tom Wolfe, along with the hard-scrabble advice of Minnesota Fats and Nick the Greek, and humor and pith from the likes of Woody Allen, Charles Bukowski, David Mamet, Groucho Marx, Hunter S. Thompson, and many, many more!
Natalie, a Kundalini Love Story
Jim and Natalie meet on a freezing London sidewalk. He is hurrying to a business meeting. The beautiful Thai woman is stealing a bottle of Listerine from a shop. A successful, happily married entrepreneur, Jim isn't prepared for the life overturning shock of love and the physical awakening of the Serpent Power. This beautiful prostitute, Natalie, is surely crazy, with her claim to be a 'big Buddha woman', her hotline to the Goddess merely putting her and Jim in danger, as Kundalini drags them down into an underworld of sex rings and people traffickers. They must surely end up dead, Natalie at a party in a luxury hotel, Jim desperately trying to find her, unless the erotic path to transcendence is real. Having endured a Kundalini awakening myself, and wanting to depict it without using traditional or abstract symbols, I hit upon this love story, which I hope gets across the raw immediacy of the Kundalini process.
The People of This Generation
At the heart of the tumult that marked the 1960s was the unprecedented scale of student protest on university campuses around the world. Identifying themselves as the New Left, as distinguished from the Old Left socialists who engineered the historic labor protests of the 1930s, these young idealists quickly became the voice and conscience of their generation. The People of This Generation is the first comprehensive case study of the history of the New Left in a Northeast urban environment. Paul Lyons examines how campus and community activists interacted with the urban political environment, especially the pacifist Quaker tradition and the rising ethnic populism of police chief and later ma...
