Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Butch O’Hare was born on 13 March 1914 in St. Louis, Missouri. He was the opposite of sharp, bitter, and angry. He would be known by everyone he met to be the opposite of sharp, bitter, and angry. His father, Edgar Joseph O’Hare, so esteemed the name Edward that he used it throughout his adult life. #2 EJ was extremely effervescent, and Selma was very reticent. They married in 1912, and EJ went to St. Louis University to earn credits in the School of Commerce and Finance. He never feared work, and he was fiercely determined to make a better life for himself and his family. #3 Butch’s parents noticed that his disposition was more Dutch than Irish or German. EJ’s letters to Selma in 1926, when Butch was going on twelve, almost always referred to him as the little Dutchman rather than Eddie. Love did not cease, only the manner in which it was demonstrated. #4 Butch was a very smart child, and he was always in good grades. He was also very creative, and he would often make things with his paint brush. He and his sister Patsy would often escape St. Louis to a camp on a river.

Book Synopsis The Queen of Tuesday by : Darin Strauss
Download or read book The Queen of Tuesday written by Darin Strauss. This book was released on 2021-05-25. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lucille Ball, Hollywood’s first true media mogul, stars in this “bold” (The Boston Globe), “boisterous novel” (The New Yorker) with a thrilling love story at its heart—from the award-winning, bestselling author of Chang & Eng and Half a Life A WASHINGTON POST BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • “A gorgeous, Technicolor take on America in the middle of the twentieth century.”—Colson Whitehead, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Nickel Boys This indelible romance begins with a daring conceit—that the author’s grandfather may have had an affair with Lucille Ball. Strauss offers a fresh view of a celebrity America loved more than any other. Lucille Ball—the most powerful woman in the history of Hollywood—was part of America’s first high-profile interracial marriage. She owned more movie sets than did any movie studio. She more or less single-handedly created the modern TV business. And yet Lucille’s off-camera life was in disarray. While acting out a happy marriage for millions, she suffered in private. Her partner couldn’t stay faithful. She struggled to balance her fame with the demands of being a mother, a creative genius, an entrepreneur, and, most of all, a symbol. The Queen of Tuesday—Strauss’s follow-up to Half a Life, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award—mixes fact and fiction, memoir and novel, to imagine the provocative story of a woman we thought we knew.
