Dinarzad's Children: An Anthology Of Contemporary Arab American Fiction


Dinarzad's Children: An Anthology Of Contemporary Arab American Fiction Book DescriptionThis collection offers up a mix of new and previously published works, creating a literary road map to Arab American literature today. The nineteen authors represented are of Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian, Egyptian, and Libyan descent, some with established reputations, others new young writers. They tell tales about Muslims and Christians, recent immigrants and fully assimiliated Americans, teenagers and grandmothers, guerillas and peaceniks, professors, housewives, grocers, bookies, those who long for their homeland, and those who refuse to speak Arabic. By turns sassy or lyrical, biting or humorous, always moving, these stories are good reading and an important contribution to the body of American ethnic literature. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book DescriptionThis collection offers up a mix of new and previously published works, creating a literary road map to Arab American literature today.

I'll Never Wander Away : A Memoir of an Alzheimer's Love Affair

John G. Fullerton


I'll Never Wander Away : A Memoir of an Alzheimer's Love Affair John G. Fullerton Book Description I'll Never Wander Away underscores the progressive struggle of coping with Alzheimer's disease, while revealing a unique mid-life love affair fraught with spiritual implications and synchronicity. Therein lies the story of John, a recovering alcoholic, who, while contending with the issues of an estranged wife and a current love interest, meets his step-cousin, Delores. He hasn't seen her in over forty-five years. Through a circuitous series of events, they become reacquainted, fall in love, and are blissfully married, only for Delores to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Amidst the grief and struggle to bring comfort to his stricken wife, as well as recognize his own failing health, Fullerton attempts to convey a poignant reminder to himself, as well as the reader, that life, with all its earthly possessions, is only temporary, and that humanity would be wise to live in moderation and enjoy the temporal satisfactions while they exist. книги, книжный магазин, интернет-магазин Book Description I'll Never Wander Away underscores the progressive struggle of coping with Alzheimer's disease, while revealing a unique mid-life love affair fraught with spiritual implications and synchronicity.
