Brad Herzog--Turn Left at the Trojan Horse_ A Would-B
Title: Turn Left at the Trojan Horse_ A Would-B Author: Brad Herzog File Type: Mobi Subject:Travel Description:
***Turn Left at the Trojan Horse*** has been described as *On the Road* meets *Eat, Pray, Love* because it goes well beyond a road trip. More than just a funny and profound narrative of Brad Herzog's cross-country trek toward a college reunion in Ithaca (New York) and more than another reimagining of Odysseus's ancient journey (he visits places like Troy, OR... Iliad, MT... Apollo, PA...), it is a memoir exploring the parameters of a heroic existence - by chronicling the lives of people in America's oft-ignored spaces, by examining the universal truths embedded in ancient myths, and by undertaking a fair bit of self-evaluation. It is the memoir of an Everyman searching for the hero within. *(added by author)*

Subject:Travel
Description:A New York Times Notable Book of the Year Winner of the Mountains and Plains Book Sellers Association Award Sprawling in scope. . . . Mr. Egan uses the past powerfully to explain and give dimension to the present. --_The New York Times_ Fine reportage . . . honed and polished until it reads more like literature than journalism. --_Los Angeles Times_ They have tried to tame it, shave it, fence it, cut it, dam it, drain it, nuke it, poison it, pave it, and subdivide it, writes Timothy Egan of the West still, this regions hold on the American character has never seemed stronger. In this colorful and revealing journey through the eleven states west of the 100th meridian, Egan, a third-generation westerner, evokes a lovely and troubled country where land is religion and the holy war between preservers and possessors never ends. Egan leads us on an unconventional, freewheeling tour from Americas oldest continuously inhabited community, the Ancoma Pueblo in New Mexico, to the high kitsch of Lake Havasu City, Arizona, where London Bridge has been painstakingly rebuilt stone by stone from the fragile beauty of Idahos Bitterroot Range to the gross excess of Las Vegas, a city built as though in defiance of its arid environment. In a unique blend of travel writing, historical reflection, and passionate polemic, Egan has produced a moving study of the West how it became what it is, and where it is going. The writing is simply wonderful. From the opening paragraph, Egan seduces the reader. . . . Entertaining, thought provoking. br --_The Arizona Daily Star Weekly_ A western breeziness and love of open spaces shines through strongLasso the Windstrong. . . . The writing is simple and evocative.br --_The Economist_ From the Trade Paperback edition.

Title: Back in the World_ Stories
Author: Tobias Wolff
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Short Stories
Description:
To American soldiers in Vietnam, back in the world meant America and safety. To Tobias Wolffs characters, Back in the World is where lives that have veered out of control just might become normal again. Unfortunately, the men and women in these gripping, pungent, and wonderfully skewed stories have only the vaguest notion of what normal is. A gentle priest finds himself in a Vegas hotel with a hysterical, sun-burned stranger. A show-biz hopeful undergoes a dubious audition in a hearse speeding across the California desert. An aging soldier is distracted from a night of philandering by a gun-toting neighbor and a suicidal enlisted man. As he moves among these unfortunates, Wolff observes the disparity between their realities and their dreams, in ten stories of exhilarating lucidity and grace.Stories included are The Missing Person, Say Yes, The Poor Are Always With Us, Sister, Soldiers Joy, Desert Breakdown, Our Story Begins, Leviathan, and The Rich Brother. Terrific...The magic of his fiction cannot be explained. It is the ancient art of the master storyteller.--Tim OBrien
