DOWNLOAD EBOOKSaroyan’s debut collection of stories. A timeless selection of brilliant short stories that won William Saroyan a position among the foremost, most widely popular writers of America when it first appeared in 1934.With the greatest of ease William Saroyan flew across the literary skies in 1934 with the publication of The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze and Other Stories. One of the first American writers to describe the immigrant experience in the U.S., Saroyan created characters who were Armenians, Jews, Chinese, Poles, Africans, and the Irish. The title story touchingly portrays the thoughts of a very young writer, dying of starvation. All of the tales were written during the great depression and reflect, through pathos and humor, the mood of the nation in one of its greatest times of want.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDuring the late 1960s, throughout the 1970s, and into the 1980s, New York City poets and musicians played together, published each other, and inspired one another to create groundbreaking art. In "Do You Have a Band?", Daniel Kane reads deeply across poetry and punk music to capture this compelling exchange and its challenge to the status of the visionary artist, the cultural capital of poetry, and the lines dividing sung lyric from page-bound poem. Kane reveals how the new sounds of proto-punk and punk music found their way into the poetry of the 1960s and 1970s downtown scene, enabling writers to develop fresh ideas for their own poetics and performance styles. Likewise, groups like The Fugs and the Velvet Underground drew on writers as varied as William Blake and Delmore Schwartz for their lyrics. Drawing on a range of archival materials and oral interviews, Kane also shows how and why punk musicians drew on and resisted French Symbolist writing, the vatic resonance of the Beat chant, and, most surprisingly and complexly, the New York Schools of poetry. In bringing together the music and writing of Richard Hell, Patti Smith, and Jim Carroll with readings of poetry by Anne Waldman, Eileen Myles, Ted Berrigan, John Giorno, and Dennis Cooper, Kane provides a fascinating history of this crucial period in postwar American culture and the cultural life of New York City.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHumanity is going extinct, there are only a few fertile people left in the world so the government decided to test everyone on their 19th birthday to see if they are fertile. If they test is positive, the government matches the person with another fertile individual for reproductive purposes. Everyone seems to accept this new reality except for a small group of rebels. After taking her test, Aubrey Campbell, a regular 19-year-old girl, is confused with a rebel. She is jailed and sentenced to death until her fertility test result comes back positive. So authorities give her a choice: she can either be executed or she can pay her debt by giving children to society. She chooses the latter and she is matched to Leopold Mortensen, the most frightening man Aubrey has ever seen. Now she will be his forever.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKArmenian-American author William Saroyan enjoyed tremendous popularity in the 1930s with his stories of immigrants and children of Fresno, California. Saroyan's short story collection The Man on the Flying Trapese (1934), his Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Time of Your Life (1940) and the story collection My name is Aram (1941) were commercial and critical successes, establishing Sarayon as a major author of that period. Harry Keyishian's aim in editing this collection of critical essays is to provide a broad selection of the best thought on Saroyan's life and writing, and to introduce several previously unpublished essays that focus more specifically on the texts themselves.
