Breece D'J Pancake cut short a remarkably promising career when he took his own life in 1979 at the age of 26. In 1983 Little, Brown and Company's posthumous publication of this book-a collection of stories that depict, with astonishing power and grace, the world of Pancake's native rural West Virginia-electrified the literary world with a force that still resounds across two decades. The Stories of Breece D'J Pancake has remained continuously in print, and Back Bay Books takes pride in now making the collection available in this new trade paperback edition.Author Biography: Breece D'J Pancake was born in West Virginia in 1952. He attended Marshall University, taught English at Virginia military schools, and then entered the creative writing program at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, where he died in 1979. During his lifetime, his short fiction was published primarily in The Atlantic.

The Collected Breece d'j Pancake: Stories, Fragments, Letters

The Collected Breece d'j Pancake: Stories, Fragments, Letters

Breece D'j Pancake

Library of America
2020
sidottu
A definitive edition of the haunted and haunting stories of the legendary West Virginia writer, with rare unfinished stories and fragments and revealing letters Breece D'J Pancake published only a handful of stories before he took his own life in 1979, just shy of his twenty-seventh birthday. Those stories and a small number of others found among his papers after his death comprise the remarkable posthumous collection The Stories of Breece D'J Pancake (1983), recognized at the time as "an American Dubliners" (Jayne Anne Phillips) and a collection by a "young writer of such extraordinary gifts that one is tempted to compare his debut to Hemingway's" (Joyce Carol Oates). Kurt Vonnegut called him "merely the best writer, the most sincere writer I've ever read." Today his diverse admirers include Margaret Atwood, Andre Dubus III, Tom Waits, and Lorde. The Collected Breece D'J Pancake brings together the original landmark book, several story drafts and fragments, and a selection of Pancake's letters to offer an unprecedented picture of his life and art. Among the unfinished stories are fragments from Pancake's two planned novels. The letters document his relationship with writers such as Peter Taylor, John Casey, James Alan McPherson, and Mary Lee Settle, and offer a picture of his collaborative relationship with his mother, who sent him newspaper clippings and helped him research his stories. "Pancake's stories are the only stories written in just this way," Jayne Anne Phillips writes in her introduction, "from inside the minds of protagonists coming of age in the mountains of an Appalachian world closed to others." At once beautiful and relentlessly bleak, the stories concern miners, truckers, farmers, waitresses, and others facing constricted economic and life prospects. In one way or another, his characters are stuck, hoping for a change in fortune they can neither relinquish nor quite bring themselves to believe in, the land and the past making equally strong claims on their darkening present.

This is 30 years of illustrations of my art work in color. Mediums used: pencil, ink, color markers and color pencils all on paper. I also share my thoughts and back stories on a lot of my drawings. I draw to amuse myself and in doing so I hope to brighten up someone's day and make them smile or laugh. I also have other work such as sketches, black and white and an alternative subject matter. Look for them soon. This is the first book of many.

This is a follow up to my illustrated color book, Breece Tries to Draw. This book is a compilation of pencil, black and white. This book contains thirty years of my drawings. These are some of my favorite drawings from a bunch of old sketch books and some salvaged doodles. Some of these are incomplete. Take notice of the transition from rough sketch to ink outline then to final color. Many of the unfinished images show this transition. My imagination went wild and surrealism was unleashed. Once I picked up the pencil and started to draw I found myself unable to put it down until all the images and ideas in my mind were on paper. I would draw for hours on end losing track of time. I really lost myself in a lot of these drawings. I hope some make you laugh, others make you think and the rest pull you into my perspective.

Trucks I The Legend of Beverly Joe Breece

Trucks I The Legend of Beverly Joe Breece

TotalRecall Press

pokkari
Trucks, The Legend of Beverly Joe Breece, is the first book in the The Fast Truck Series. On Sunday afternoons, trucks, teams, and fans alike gather together and partake in the making of history. Each event stands out as its own unique experience; ones that tickle the minds of all who's seen or heard them. Occasionally, there's some that stand out more than others. One time in particular, was when Beverly Joe Breece blasted her way in, knocked the door down, and nearly did it all. Setting the pace for the underdog to take over, she put her name in the books and inspired people everywhere.And now Ladies and Gentlemen Boys and Girls Race fans of all ages Put on your helmets and fire suits Open this book, climb inside, and strap yourselves in Because, the story of The "Oil Cup" 400 and the chase to the season championship is about to begin Filled with high-speed straightaways and lightning-quick corners, The Legend of Beverly Joe Breece is surely a tale that will have your foot to the floor, your pistons pumping, and your tires spinning So, what are you waiting for? Come on Yippie, yippie, yay Let's grab the green flag and go racing The "Oil Cup" 400; the "Crown Jewel" race in the Fast Truck Series has always been known to be one of the most competitive competitions in the Trucks Series season tour. Being the first race in the chase to the championship, tensions sometimes run high as teams strenuously work to be the one that puts their names and number in the books as the winner of the highest paying purse, and the largest trophy in the history of Stock Truck racing. From all over the globe, trucks with their teams come to qualify for a chance at the power and glory that comes with winning the 400-mile scrimmage to the checkered flag. Every year, spectators, young and old come from all corners of the world to witness one of, if not the, greatest spectacle in all of Motorsports. Time and time again, history proves that the 400 can be exceedingly challenging to trucks and teams: engines can fail, tires can falter, transmissions can go out, bodies can grow weary, and injuries from accidents will most certainly happen. Often called a race of "sheer endurance," and one that only the toughest trucks survive, seldom does the underdog set the pace for the grueling 200-lapper. Let alone, does a virtually unknown beat the top teams and secure themselves a second-place starting spot. However, at one magical point in time, an unlikely entry, and not a high favor to win, did just that Tearing up the track, Beverly Joe Breece sped her way along the 2-mile oval, and she kicked the door open, securing a position that put her and her team ahead of some of the sports strongest trucks What a memorable and exciting day it was when Beverly clenched her place and raced against some of the biggest names and well-seasoned teams to have ever run the event. It was a time where some went home empty-handed, some were victorious, others were defeated, and some set the stage for wonderful things to come. It was a day where legends were made...Now let's drop those window nets, climb inside, strap yourself in, and read about how one truck defied the odds, gave it her utmost best, and became forever known as the Ford that nearly did it all.Beverly Joe Breece...

A Schoolteacher in Old Alaska

A Schoolteacher in Old Alaska

Breece Hannah

RANDOM HOUSE USA INC
1997
pokkari
When Hannah Breece came to Alaska in 1904, it was a remote lawless wilderness of prospectors, murderous bootleggers, tribal chiefs, and Russian priests. She spent fourteen years educating Athabascans, Aleuts, Inuits, and Russians with the stubborn generosity of a born teacher and the clarity of an original and independent mind. Jane Jacobs, Hannah's great-niece, here offers an historical context to Breece's remarkable eyewitness account, filling in the narrative gaps, but always allowing the original words to ring clearly. It is more than an adventure story: it is a powerful work of women's history that provides important--and, at times, unsettling--insights into the unexamined assumptions and attitudes that governed white settler's behavior toward native communities at the turn of the century. "An unforgettable...story of a remarkable woman who lived a heroic life."--The New York Times

Breece D'J Pancake; John Casey

Tristero Förlag

När den amerikanska originalutgåvan släpptes hade Breece D'J Pancake varit död i fyra år. 1979 begick han självmord, 26 år gammal. Bara ett fåtal av berättelserna hade publicerats under hans livstid, i olika litterära sydstatstidskrifter. De berättelser som fanns att finna sattes i efterhand ihop till en novellsamling som skulle komma att slå den litterära världen med häpnad. Den unge, okände författaren jämfördes snart med Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Flannery O`Connor, Eudora Welty och andra litterära jättar. För detta hans första och enda verk, nominerades han till Pulitzerpriset postumt. Berättelserna utspelar sig bland West Virginias isolerade berg och dalgångar; ett hårt liv fyllt av dränerande arbete, fattigdom, fylla, längtan, slagsmål och död. En plats där särlingar inte ses med blida ögon. Men männen och kvinnorna, bundna till ett område de drömmer om att lämna, uthärdar. Somliga fastnar, förgås och sjunker ner i tidens mörker. För första gången på svenska i sin helhet: det här är Breece D'J Pancakes kolskimrande och sorgsna mästerverk. Initierat efterord av John Casey.
