DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring pilot season, June Dietz's husband Mitch Gold becomes another man—a man who doesn't notice her delicious Farmers Market homemade dinners, who mumbles responses around the tooth-whitening trays in his mouth, who is consumed with envy for his fellow television actors, who pants for a return phone call from his agent. And who wants to be married to an abject, paranoid, oblivious mess? Possibly not June, whose job as a poetry professor at UCLA makes her in but not of Los Angeles, with its illogical pecking order and relentless tribal customs. Even their daughter Nora's allegedly innocent world isn't immune from one upsmanship: while Mitch is bested for acting jobs by the casually confident (and so very L.A.) Willie Dermot, June is tormented by Willie's insufferably uptight wife Larissa and the other stay-at-home exercisers in the preschool. Could Rich Friend be the answer? Smart, age-appropriate, bookish—and a wildly successful television producer—Rich focuses on June the way nobody has since she moved to Los Angeles, and there's nothing for June to do but wallow in what she's been missing. But what's the next step? How does a regular person decide between husband and lover, family and fantasy? Set in a Los Angeles you haven't read about before, Beverly Hills Adjacent is that rare thing: a laugh-out-loud novel with heart.

Expressionism and Modernism in the American Theatre

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAlthough often dismissed as a minor offshoot of the better-known German movement, expressionism on the American stage represents a critical phase in the development of American dramatic modernism. Situating expressionism within the context of early twentieth-century American culture, Walker demonstrates how playwrights who wrote in this mode were responding both to new communications technologies and to the perceived threat they posed to the embodied act of meaning. At a time when mute bodies gesticulated on the silver screen, ghostly voices emanated from tin horns, and inked words stamped out the personality of the hand that composed them, expressionist playwrights began to represent these new cultural experiences by disarticulating the theatrical languages of bodies, voices and words. In doing so, they not only innovated a new dramatic form, but redefined playwriting from a theatrical craft to a literary art form, heralding the birth of American dramatic modernism.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis all came about because of a break down and the feeling of total helplessness that came over me. The light bulb came on in my head, I would buy a radio. That would be the answer to all my problems. As it worked itself out, it was a whole lot of peoples answer as well. A travelers dream. Help was as close as the hearing range of a C.B. Radio. Or just friendly conversation to help the driver get through my strip of the road. We start talking as strangers and ended up as friends. The wide open desert didn't seem so menacing as long as you knew there was a radio there. Whether it was standing cattle or hogs,hanging meat or dry goods, the big rig eighteen wheel driver wanted to know there was a radio he could depend on. It also gave me peace of mind whenever we were out on the highway. Hoping we didn't have another Parley's canyon. There were funny times, happy times, and very sad times.
