Beautiful Soon Enough

Beautiful Soon Enough

Margo Berdeshevsky

Fiction Collective Two
2009
nidottu
Winner of FC2's American Book Review/Ronald Sukenick Innovative Fiction Prize Margo Berdeshevsky's Beautiful Soon Enough is a collection of hypnotic stories that capture the lives - worldly, sexual, obsessive - of twenty-three arresting women.These are snapshots and collages: stories of women on the outside, looking in; of women content to end their affairs; of young women learning the power of seduction; and of older women reminiscing about past loves. They are women who cannot live without love's embrace, and women who have found it and feel that it is never enough. They are women of a 'certain age,' as the French might say, and women with naked hearts, of any age.Berdeshevsky's tales cross the planet: from beds in Paris to the roofs of Havana, from Venice Beach to the hills of Dubrovnik. With settings as varied as the characters they depict, these tales illuminate the lives of women desperate for a balance between love, comfort, and freedom. Personal, driven, and lyrical, together they are Beautiful Soon Enough.

Autobiography As Activism

Autobiography As Activism

Margo V. Perkins

University Press of Mississippi
2000
nidottu
Angela Davis, Assata Shakur (a.k.a. JoAnne Chesimard), and Elaine Brown are the only women activists of the Black Power movement who have published book-length autobiographies. In bearing witness to that era, these militant newsmakers wrote in part to educate and to mobilize their anticipated readers. In this way, Davis's Angela Davis: An Autobiography (1974), Shakur's Assata (1987), and Brown's A Taste of Power: A Black Woman's Story (1992) can all be read as extensions of the writers' political activism during the 1960s.Margo V. Perkins's critical analysis of their books is less a history of the movement (or of women's involvement in it) than an exploration of the politics of storytelling for activists who choose to write their lives. Perkins examines how activists use autobiography to connect their lives to those of other activists across historical periods, to emphasize the link between the personal and the political, and to construct an alternative history that challenges dominant or conventional ways of knowing.The histories constructed by these three women call attention to the experiences of women in revolutionary struggle, particularly to the ways their experiences have differed from men's. The women's stories are told from different perspectives and provide different insights into a movement that has been much studied from the masculine perspective. At times they fill in, complement, challenge, or converse with the stories told by their male counterparts, and in doing so, hint at how the present and future can be made less catastrophic because of women's involvement.The multiple complexities of the Black Power movement become evident in reading these women's narratives against each other as well as against the sometimes strikingly different accounts of their male counterparts.As Davis, Shakur, and Brown recount events in their lives, they dispute mainstream assumptions about race, class, and gender and reveal how the Black Power struggle profoundly shaped their respective identities.

This study examines the language and translation technique used in a modern “targum” of the Bible. The targum – referred to as “Manuscript Barzani” – is a written preservation of a tradition of Jewish Neo-Aramaic Bible translation, originally transmitted in oral form among the religious leaders of a community in Iraqi Kurdistan. It represents a literary form of the Neo-Aramaic spoken by the Jews of the Rewanduz/Arbel region. Within their community, the targum was used in the schools to teach the language and text of the Hebrew Bible to the young men.

Old Testament, God's created earth and a family and Adam as the Patriarch and Eve the Matriarch over all families but they soon committed the first sin and their children and descendants followed them in sin and got lost in acts of murder, rape, theft, adultery, idol worshipping as well, except Holy Seth. Seth's descendant is where Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus Christ descended. Although Noah highly favored grape wine, God favored him more because he was an obedient and God-fearing man, so after God cleansed earth with a deadly flood Noah and his sons Ham, Japheth, and Shem were spared to start a new generation. Because of his faith level and love for God, Abraham proved to be God's best friend and was chosen as the Father of Faith, Father of the Hebrews, Father of Isaac and Grandfather of Israel, and the Grandfather of the Nation of the Israelites who became enslaved in Egypt and trapped into idol worshipping for over 400+ years, until Moses was sent by God to free them. Once free, they resumed to idol worshipping and eventually forfeited all their covenants and blessings over to the gentiles related to sinning and idol worshipping? God will really bless only those who recognize, honor, pray to him, and obey his laws and the commandments After the death of Abraham, God never found another Holy friend like him, so he created one, in the name of Father God, we are blessed with brethren Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit known as the Trinity. Jesus Christ is the New Testament who was created to save all sinners and lead the lost back into the Kingdom of God, and instead of a deadly flood, we can be cleansed in a water baptism and with the blood of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah Jesus, Amen Margo Yarbray a dreamer and novice writer coming into a writer's fruition. Mother, Granny, and retired USPS letter-carrier technician.

And it is written with elegance, confidence, grace, and wit. `A must-read for any lover of Boston history, any student of American urban history.’ —William Martin, New York Times bestselling author of Back Bay and The Lincoln Letter.

Anywhere with You

Anywhere with You

Margo Glynn

Bold Strokes Books
2025
nidottu
Honey Singh and Cara Espinoza have two things in common: Their despicable, odious, lying spouses are having an affair, and they need a vacation. They take a road trip, filming their adventures and posting them online to prove to everyone back home that they're fine--not heartbroken and not staying home grief-eating cartons of ice cream. What better way to make a new friend than late nights and long drives? As their heartbreak takes a back seat to healing, they realize that they want more from each other than just conversation. Passion and friendship are a potent combination, but a seemingly small secret could end their romance before it truly begins. Set against the backdrop of ever-changing landscapes and starlit skies, Anywhere with You is full of hope and humor, a second chance at love, searching for aliens, hooking up in nature, and avoiding dangerous wildlife (most of the time).

The Neapolitan Sisters

The Neapolitan Sisters

Margo Candela

Crooked Lane Books
2022
nidottu
A TODAY.COM MOST ANTICIPATED LATINX BOOK OF 2022 Three sisters. Three vastly different lives. A maelstrom of family secrets. For fans of Mar a Amparo Escand n and Laurie Frankel, Margo Candela pens a riotous, provocative tale of family and sisterhood. Growing up with a kind but alcoholic father and a suspicious, passive aggressive mother, the Bernal sisters each developed their own way of coping: Dulcina had her art and drugs and alcohol, Claudia plunged into her studies and fled to Princeton, and Maritza watched one Disney movie after another in between devouring romance novels. Now all grown up, the sisters are reunited at last for Maritza's dream wedding. But they are no less different than they were growing up: Maritza is a princess bridezilla, Claudia is the family "fixer," and Dulcina "Dooley" is finally sober. With all three Bernal sisters back in their East L.A. home, each begins to take steps to come to terms with each other, their parents, and the secrets from their shared past. While their lives may have taken different paths, they are still sisters at heart. Told in alternating points of view, The Neapolitan Sisters is a humorous yet moving look at what it means to be a sister, daughter, and ultimately, your own self, despite the pressures that come with being part of a family.

pokkari
Margo Siple was a passenger in seat 19C on the infamous flight of United Airlines Flight 232, flying from Denver to Chicago on July 19, 1989. One hour and seven minutes into the flight, the number 2 engine on the DC-10 exploded, causing complete hydraulic failure. Hydraulics in an aircraft is like the blood in your body-it is essential to have in order to stay alive and function. After forty minutes of trying to fly an uncontrollable jumbo jet, using just manual engine thrust, the cockpit crew maneuvered the aircraft to within inches of a possible landing in Sioux City, Iowa.It was not to be. At the last minute, the plane slammed into the runway, then cartwheeling, as it was engulfed in flames, it seemed to explode with large pieces of the aircraft breaking off and being strewn along the runway. The cockpit and the tail section of the aircraft had completely separated from the main fuselage, while part of the main fuselage continued to tumble and travel at least 3/4 mile before coming to a stop upside down in the cornfield. With 296 souls on board, which included the flight crew, Margo was one of a very few who survived the crash without a scratch on her, while others were horribly injured or perished.Passenger 19C is the story of Margo Siple's experience on the crippled aircraft, her survival, and the aftermath that changed her life, as well as other significant events that happened to her before and after the airline crash in which the adversity she faced challenged her and her faith numerous times. It is a book about surviving the multitude of adversities that we are all faced with during our lives so that we can apply our life lessons to each and every day that we are blessed with.There was no other person in Margo's shoes on Flight 232, in seat 19C, just as there is no other person in the world that can tell your personal story. We are all significant and unique.
