Book Synopsis Driving Home by : Jonathan Raban

Book excerpt: Spanning two decades, this frank, witty, and provocative volume—part essay collection, part diary—charts a course through the Pacific Northwest, American history, and current events as witnessed by “one of our most gifted observers” (Newsday). For more than thirty years, Jonathan Raban has written with infectious fascination about people and places in transition or on the margins, about journeys undertaken and destinations never quite reached, and, as an Englishman transplanted in Seattle, about what it means to feel rooted in America. Stops en route include a Missoula bar, a Tea Party convention in Nashville hosted by Sarah Palin, the Mississippi in full flood, a trip to Hawaii with his daughter, a steelhead river in the Cascades, and the hidden corners of his adopted hometown, Seattle. He deftly explores public and personal spaces, poetry and politics, geography and catastrophe, art and economy, and the shifts in various arenas that define our society. Whether the topic is Robert Lowell or Barack Obama, or how various painters, explorers, and homesteaders have engaged with our mythical and actual landscape, he has an outsider’s eye for the absurd, and his tone is intimate, never nostalgic, and always fresh. Driving Home is irresistibly insightful about America’s character, contradictions, and idiosyncrasies.

Book Synopsis Driving Home by : Steffany Moonaz
Download or read book Driving Home written by Steffany Moonaz. This book was released on 2024-04-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Driving Home is a memoir focused on a single year of the author’s life in which she and her 9-year-old daughter moved in with her dying mother, she suffered a traumatic brain injury resulting from being hit by a semi-truck, and she dealt with the reality of living hours away from her husband and their 5-year-old son. After the main events of the story are told, the implications of the experience are addressed from a variety of different perspectives, exploring the challenges and opportunities it presented. The story is seen through the lens of her identities as a daughter, a mother, a wife, a researcher, a yogi, and a part of the Jewish tradition. With both honesty and optimism, she presents her personal journey through universal themes of responsibility, loss, trauma, striving, connection, and compassion.

Book Synopsis Driving Home by : Barbara Belyea
Download or read book Driving Home written by Barbara Belyea. This book was released on 2006-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This lively and diverse bilingual collection of essays by writers and critics examines contemporary Canadian literary arts. The perspectives range from highly personal and introspective to scholarly and objective, yet each adds significantly to an understanding of the dialogue between writers and readers. Proceedings from a workshop held at the Calgary Institute for the Humanities during the summer of 1982, the volume includes such contributors as E.D. Blodgett, Jacques Brault, Richard Giguère, D.G. Jones, Myrna Kostash, Peter Stevens, Aritha van Herk, and Christopher Wiseman. The collection will naturally be of interest to any student of Canadian literature, but the essays also forcefully address, both explicitly and implicitly, the question of a nationalism of the arts, an issue of great importance to performers and critics in many fields.
