Book excerpt: Theresa Ann Dunbar (Munchie) is four years old when she becomes aware that there is something missing from her young existence. While she romps with the other children in the yard of the tenement where she lives with her father and a series of women he brings home, she realizes that her own mother is missing. She struggles to understand the meaning of her existence as she encounters disaster after disaster on her journey to adulthood, all the while hoping that somehow she will find the woman who abandoned her in that filthy yard to fend for herself. And then she meets Romie, the son of one of the women her father Frederick brings into her life. Their youthful passion is denied, however, when Romie also disappears from her life and Munchie must learn to survive on her own. Her naiveté is shattered as she enters adulthood and she grasps for anchors as her world turns upside-down and back again. The story of My Father and Other Disasters is a painful one for thousands who go on a quest to find their parents. Some, in their search will encounter that parent. Others will, for one reason or another, never experience this closure. Their journey is eternal.

Book Synopsis My Father's Tears by : John Updike

Download or read book My Father's Tears written by John Updike. This book was released on 2009-06-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A sensational collection of stories of the American experience from the Depression to the aftermath of 9/11, by one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century and the author of the acclaimed Rabbit series. John Updike mingles narratives of Pennsylvania with stories of New England suburbia and of foreign travel: “Personal Archaeology” considers life as a sequence of half-buried layers, and “The Full Glass” distills a lifetime’s happiness into one brimming moment of an old man’s bedtime routine. High-school class reunions, in “The Walk with Elizanne” and “The Road Home,” restore their hero to youth’s commonwealth where, as the narrator of the title story confides, “the self I value is stored, however infrequently I check on its condition.” Exotic locales encountered in the journeys of adulthood include Morocco, Florida, Spain, Italy, and India. The territory of childhood, with its fundamental, formative mysteries, is explored in “The Guardians,” “The Laughter of the Gods,” and “Kinderszenen.” Love’s fumblings among the bourgeoisie yield the tart comedy of “Free,” “Delicate Wives,” “The Apparition,” and “Outage.”

Book excerpt: The first openly nonbinary contestant on America’s favorite cooking show falls for their clumsy competitor in this delicious romantic comedy debut that USA Today hailed as “an essential read.” Recently divorced and on the verge of bankruptcy, Dahlia Woodson is ready to reinvent herself on the popular reality competition show Chef’s Special. Too bad the first memorable move she makes is falling flat on her face, sending fish tacos flying—not quite the fresh start she was hoping for. Still, she's focused on winning, until she meets someone she might want a future with more than she needs the prize money. After announcing their pronouns on national television, London Parker has enough on their mind without worrying about the klutzy competitor stationed in front of them. They’re there to prove the trolls—including a fellow contestant and their dad—wrong, and falling in love was never part of the plan. As London and Dahlia get closer, reality starts to fall away. Goodbye, guilt about divorce, anxiety about uncertain futures, and stress from transphobia. Hello, hilarious shenanigans on set, wedding crashing, and spontaneous dips into the Pacific. But as the finale draws near, Dahlia and London’s steamy relationship starts to feel the heat both in and outside the kitchen—and they must figure out if they have the right ingredients for a happily ever after.
