Book excerpt: Have you ever heard about the thirteen curses of Hollywood celebrities? How about a relative, a nobody, or a neighbor next door. Planted a seed in the mother of a child of Satan that my grandfather created when he had an affair with a woman, when he took a trip to Canada after his divorce in 1939, and had a child out of wedlock from this woman who was not created out of love but anger. Because of the fact that he had four years of free time before he got married to his second wife, who he was with until the day he passed away. Therefore, it was not until 1975 when his daughter (Dorothy) came in contact with her biological father, and came back into his life as a daughter of his he met for the first time. Little did we know this woman turned out to be nothing but a bad luck omen. She brought chaos into everyone’s life to the point of people dying of cancer, health problems that played hide and seek with the doctors, families getting divorces that have been married for 30 years or more, and so many other freak and bizarre scenarios that you just can’t imagine. Because it was not your normal good and bad every day things people dealt with in life, you will learn about these things when you read the dark star of the Dorothy Curse.

From Irish Kings to indentured servants in Philadelphia, from pioneers in Minnesota to farmers on the plains of Kansas, my Kennedy family spread their name and their DNA throughout the world! Containing numerous photographs and graphics, this easy to read account of my family is of interest to the hundreds of Charles and Mary (Gillen) Kennedy descendants populating America and the globe as well as those interested in American history.

Book Synopsis The Victorian Approach to Modernism in the Fiction of Dorothy L. Sayers by : Aoife Leahy
Download or read book The Victorian Approach to Modernism in the Fiction of Dorothy L. Sayers written by Aoife Leahy. This book was released on 2009-05-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dorothy L. Sayers wrote bestselling detective novels and short stories in the 1920s and 1930s. Working within a popular medium, Sayers promotes nineteenth century and modernist literature with skills learnt during a period of employment in an advertising agency. In much of her fiction she recommends her choice of good books by name. She also suggests that taking Victorian literature as a foundation can bring her reader to a better understanding of literary modernism. With a didactic intent, Sayers shows how Lewis Carroll’s Alice can help us to eventually read Virginia Woolf, for instance. Her approach to educating her readers is always through entertainment. Sayers worked briefly as a teacher before taking up copywriting and retained important insights on how to improve the learning experience for any reader. Sayers’ admiration for the Victorian sensation author Wilkie Collins is widely recognised. This book examines Sayers’ attention to equally important Victorian influences from John Ruskin and George Eliot to Oscar Wilde, particularly in relation to the topic of education. She often questions the boundaries between “popular” and “serious” literature. Sayers’ personal views on the connections between mid-Victorian, late Victorian and high modernist authors are also considered.
