Kubrick Red: A Memoir

Kubrick Red: A Memoir

The Shining by Stanley Kubrick - that strange story in which a writer and his wife and young son with ESP stay in a mysterious hotel in low season - has been fascinating viewers since its release in 1980. Simon Roy first saw the film when he was 10 and was mesmerized by a particular line: "How'd you like some ice cream, Doc?" He has since seen the movie at least 42 times, because "it encompasses the tragic symptoms of a deep-seated defect that has haunted [it] for generations." The painstaking bond he has knitted with this story of evil has enabled him to absorb the disquieting traits of its "macabre lineage" and fully reveal its power over him. This is an unusual and astonishing book. In this truly remarkable debut, Simon Roy has produced a highly original, unsettling, and fascinating account. This essay will appeal not only to Kubrick fans but also to readers who are attuned to life's hardships and mindful of the strength needed to overcome them. Praise for Kubrick Red: "Such is the off-centre, episodic nature of this book that it's hard to find parallels elsewhere in literature." (Vancouver Sun)

Heartbreaking tragedies unfold during Kirstin's life that no girl should have to endure, all orchestrated by her narcissistic Mother. She destroys the family by turning Kirstin's Father against her, all three brothers against each other and thanks to Mother, the loving bond between Kirstin and her favorite Aunt and Uncle is also shattered. Years later, after her Father doesn't show up at Kirstin's wedding to walk her down the aisle, she's diagnosed with breast cancer and refuses to tell her Mother, knowing she will blame Kirstin for not being perfect. She invents a cover story and says she's going to Sedona for a month-long seminar on Viking Runes, enraging her Fundamentalist, Born-Again Christian Mother into disowning her, on purpose. With her husband's blessing, she and her best friend (the narrator, Ness) fly to St. Augustine, FL for her radiation and chemotherapy treatment. By coincidence or Divine Intervention, her hospital roommate turns out to be the Aunt her mother hasn't allowed her to speak to for over 20 years They recover together and remember, renew and recover their lost relationship. When her treatment is over, Kirstin sends Ness and her husband on a well-deserved Anniversary weekend vacation. Kirstin sets out alone on the 45-minute drive from St. Augustine to Jacksonville, to pick up a college friend to share the ride home with her, but she never makes it What happens next leaves everyone in shock and dismay, and causes her already unbalanced Mother to go over the edge. Somehow, Mother finds out the despised Aunt had been in contact with Kirstin, and goes after her and Kirstin's friend, Ness with a vengeance What happens next leaves Ness in a coma, and triggers a near-death experience for her in Heaven. She is reunited with Kirstin and her own parents, but no one will tell her what happened to her, to The Aunt, or to Kirstin's Mother When she finally comes out of the coma, she knows she has to find someone and give them an important message from Christ. Slowly, she begins to put the puzzle pieces together to find out if she really was in Heaven or if it was all a dream. But her husband has an urgent message for her that changes everything
English Prose: A Series of Related Essays for the Discussion and Practice of the Art of Writing
The editors believe heartily with Pater that "the chief stimulus of good style is to possess a full, rich, complex matter to grapple with". Instruction in writing, it is to be feared, too often neglects this sound doctrine and places an emphasis upon formal matters that seems disproportionate, especially when form is made to appear as a thing apart. Form and content go together and one must not suffer at the expense of the other. But a sustained interest in the ways and means of correct expression is aroused only when the student feels that he has something to express. Instructors often contend indeed that the ideas of undergraduates are far to seek, and that most of the time in the class-room is therefore best spent upon formal exercises and drill. The editors do not share this view. They believe that there is no class of people more responsive to new ideas and impressions than college students, and none more eager, when normally stimulated, to express themselves in writing. They have therefore aimed to present a series of related selections that would arouse thought and provoke oral discussion in the class-room, as well as furnish suitable models of style. In most cases the pieces are too long to be adequately handled in one class hour. A live topic may well be discussed for several hours, until its various sides have been examined and students are awakened to the many questions at issue. The editors have aimed, also, to supply selections so rich and vital in content that instructors themselves will feel challenged to add to the class discussion from their own knowledge and experience, and so turn a stream of fresh ideas upon "stock notions". Thus English composition, which in many courses in our larger institutions is now almost the only non?special study, can be made a direct means of liberalization in the meaning and art of life, as well as an instrument for correct and effective writing.

The Humble Argument: A Readable Introduction to Argument and the College Essay
The Humble Argument is so much more than a writing textbook. It gives you tools, tips, and tricks that actually explain what a writer does. It doesn't sugarcoat the process or dumb down the very real challenges that entering a college writing course requires. This book is more like a friend. It's the kind of friend who will coach you through a tough time and encourage you, and who will make you laugh along the way. It's the kind of friend who holds your hair back when you're sick of writing and gives you the courage to try again. Roy K. Humble is the kind of writing teacher who understands the struggle of learning how to write arguments like a college student and doesn't just tell you what you want to hear. His lessons here are profound, but in the sense that they are delivered by someone who wants you to feel included in the conversation about what good college writing should be. He writes to students in a language they can understand without becoming English majors, and with just enough humor to keep them reading. He writes for faculty, moving step-by-step through the unadorned guiding principles of effective formal writing so that faculty have a solid framework on which to build their classes. Perhaps most importantly, Humble understands that the price of a book matters to students, so his books are affordable. From every perspective, Humble gets it. The Humble Argument has students covered on these important topics: Understanding argument as an ideaGrasping the stages of the writing processOrganizing an argument around rhetorical principlesThinking for yourself as a college studentCrafting a careful and clear thesisGathering and synthesizing evidence to support a thesisGuiding readers through a thoughtful persuasive essay
