Bob the photographer or a hero in spite of himself centers on the pursuit of purpose through quiet resilience and the shaping of identity in the face of control and hardship. It emphasizes the transformative power of self-assertion and the growth that follows when one dares to resist unjust authority. Through the figure of a young aspiring artist, the narrative explores how creative ambition can serve as both escape and direction. The story challenges the idea that heroism is tied to grand moments, instead showing how integrity and consistent action define courage. Moments of defiance are shown not as rebellion but as necessary steps toward personal dignity. Acts of kindness are portrayed not as weaknesses but as strength under pressure. The journey is more than external it becomes a test of principle, revealing how perseverance, when paired with vision, can move one from obscurity to influence. The work uplifts friendship and internal resolve as stronger forces than external validation or control.

Corigliano's Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan was a commission by The Carnegie Hall Corporation for Sylvia McNair and was premiered at her Carnegie Hall recital given March 15, 2002 with Martin Katz at the piano.

Bob Newhart: The Life and Laughter of an American Treasure

Long live the King of Deadpan The first-ever biography of one of the most influential comedians in show business whose extraordinary, nearly 65-year run made him an American treasure. Why did Chicago-born accountant George Robert Newhart go into comedy? In his own words, it was because "he wasn't a very good accountant." A wise move. In 1960, his album The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart, recorded at his debut stand-up gig in a small club in Houston, won two Grammy Awards, was a multimillion-copy bestseller, reached #1 on the Billboard charts, saved Warner Bros. Records from extinction, and introduced America to the self-effacing, mild-mannered everyman with a deadpan stammer. His ingenious sketches of his timeless one-sided telephone conversations vaulted Bob Newhart into the big time. He didn't rest on his laurels . . . Newhart sailed through the 1960s with a busy stand-up touring schedule, an Emmy and Peabody Award-winning NBC sketch-comedy series, appearances on The Dean Martin Show and The Tonight Show with both Jack Paar and Johnny Carson, among dozens of others, and memorable supporting roles in such movies as Hell Is for Heroes, Cold Turkey, and Catch-22. Newhart cemented his iconic status in the 1970s with the long running The Bob Newhart Show and would strike back-to-back sitcom gold with Newhart in 1982, which ran for eight seasons on CBS. Though he spent decades in the spotlight, Bob's most satisfying success was that as a devoted family man--four kids, 10 grandchildren, and a marriage to his beloved wife, Ginnie, that lasted 50 years. This first-ever, full-length biography takes readers on a journey into Bob's life and career, including his lasting friendship with Don Rickles, his introduction to a new generation of fans opposite Will Ferrell in Elf, and his Emmy-winning turn in The Big Bang Theory. For more than six decades, the laughter and the love for Bob Newhart never faded. This is his story. And what a story, what a legend.
A character so outrageous he could only have come from the ingenious imagination of Elmore Leonard, lewd, lecherous, law-bending Florida jurist Judge Robert "Maximum Bob" Gibbs has been judged guilty by a grudge-bearing malefactor and sentenced to death--by alligator, if necessary. Maximum Bob is a delightfully dark classic thriller from "the greatest crime writer of our time, perhaps ever" (New York Times Book Review), and any reader who loved getting gleefully lost in criminal mayhem of Get Shorty, Rum Punch, Out of Sight, The Hot Kid, or any number of the inimitable Leonard's numerous crime fiction masterworks will get maximum enjoyment out of this one.
There is--and could only ever be--one Billy Bob Thornton: actor, musician, Academy Award-winning screenwriter, and accidental Hollywood badass. In The Billy Bob Tapes, he leads us into his Cave Full of Ghosts, spinning colorful tales of his modest (to say the least) Southern upbringing, his bizarre phobias (komoda dragons?), his life, his loves (including his marriage to fellow Oscar winner Angelina Jolie), and, of course, his movie career. Best of all, he's feeding these truly incredible stories and righteous philosophical rants through his close friend, Kinky Friedman--legendary country music star, bestselling author, would-be politician, and all-around bon vivant. Put these two iconoclasts together and you get a star's story that's actually an insightful pop culture manifesto--a hybrid offspring of Born Standing Up with Sh*t My Dad Says.
From the author of Cash Out, a hilarious novel about one working stiff's day of hooky--reminiscent of Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Office Space--and the insanity that ensues.Rick Blanco walks out of meetings. He's a serial meeting ditcher. A walk-out artist. He's so good that no one seems to notice when he just gets up and walks out. A corporate illusionist of the covert kind, he learned his trade studying a former colleague, the master of meeting ditches, Bob Watson. Rick continues Bob's legacy, going for more frequent and longer ditches, building on the art with every boring corporate meeting.Now, Rick wants to pull off his most important Bob Watson yet--skipping out of work to see his young nephew before he moves with his parents to Argentina. But things soon get complicated. As Rick leaves the office, he's mistaken for the company's human resources executive Dick Rayborne, a man made famous in HR circles for creating the hot new labor practice of "consourcing"--like "outsourcing" but with convicted felons. Convinced that he is the scummy Dick Rayborne, two cons, and a granny they call Mama, force Rick into six hours of mayhem, complete with home break ins and emergency board of directors meetings. Along the way, Rick realizes he has the opportunity to pull off the most meaningful Bob Watson imaginable, and still give his nephew a hug goodbye.Refreshing, witty, and clever, The Bob Watson is a madcap tale of danger, adventure, and personal discovery.
"The coolest class on campus" - The New York Times***Revised and updated with a new Afterword from the author.***When the Nobel Prize for Literature was awarded to Bob Dylan in 2016, a debate raged. Some celebrated, while many others questioned the choice. How could the world's most prestigious book prize be awarded to a famously cantankerous singer-songwriter who wouldn't even deign to attend the medal ceremony?In Why Bob Dylan Matters, Harvard Professor Richard F. Thomas answers this question with magisterial erudition. A world expert on Classical poetry, Thomas was initially ridiculed by his colleagues for teaching a course on Bob Dylan alongside his traditional seminars on Homer, Virgil, and Ovid. Dylan's Nobel Prize brought him vindication, and he immediately found himself thrust into the spotlight as a leading academic voice in all matters Dylanological. Today, through his wildly popular Dylan seminar--affectionately dubbed "Dylan 101"--Thomas is introducing a new generation of fans and scholars to the revered bard's work.This witty, personal volume is a distillation of Thomas's famous course, and makes a compelling case for moving Dylan out of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and into the pantheon of Classical poets. Asking us to reflect on the question, "What makes a classic?", Thomas offers an eloquent argument for Dylan's modern relevance, while interpreting and decoding Dylan's lyrics for readers. The most original and compelling volume on Dylan in decades, Why Bob Dylan Matters will illuminate Dylan's work for the Dylan neophyte and the seasoned fanatic alike. You'll never think about Bob Dylan in the same way again.This updated edition, complete with a new afterword exploring how Dylan crafts his song lyrics, is the perfect companion for fans of the legendary musician.
