What Comes After Crazy

Autore: Sandi Kahn Shelton

Numero di pagine: 398

Fast-paced, warm, and laugh-out-loud funny, What Comes After Crazy chronicles a quest for normalcy that nearly drives a woman nuts. Maz Lombard craves a nice, quiet life—and who can blame her? Having grown up as the daughter of Madame Lucille, “Fortune Teller to the Stars,” she spent her Southern childhood traveling from town to town, wondering which of the many men her mother brought home would become her next stepfather (in a long line of stepfathers). Maz’s soon-to-be-ex-husband Lenny left for Santa Fe after his very public affair with a fetching young daycare teacher imploded. And Maz’s daughter Hope has become convinced she’s inherited the family “seeing” gene and is scaring her classmates with séances and dark prophecies. When Lenny shows up on the doorstep wanting another chance, and Madame Lucille pulls into town with her newest husband, any chance Maz has for a simple, ordinary life seems to go out the window. But is life at its craziest also at its most instructive? Will seeing her family in all its complicated, infuriating, and mystifying splendor enable Maz to define herself on her own terms and live the life she’s always wanted? Delightful,...

Inflagrante and Delicta - the Common Period

Autore: Andrew Holt Mcminn

Numero di pagine: 359

Plunge into a crazy world where people (homos) carry a basket of physical, emotional and psychological quirks and dysfunctions. There are some inbreds, a sex-and-love-addicted transgender, a terrifying red-clawed hunk, a demented stalker, a troubled politician and a lascivious charity worker. And thats just for starters. The story is based in a South London house owned by two gay men (homo-homos), home to some of this motley crew. The two homo-homos seek to create a place where transformation and wholeness can be achieved for each member of the household in spite of their freakish singularities. Two anthropomorphic dogs, rescued from a dire Essex family, tell the story. They discover what makes life really tick, through intimate probing and questioning particularly in relation to their own body parts as well as to homo bodily functions. This is a story of honesty, of hope, of love and of laughter in the midst of an absurd world where dysfunction threatens to reign supreme.

We Make Beer

Autore: Sean Lewis

Numero di pagine: 177

An eye-opening journey into craft beer–making in America, and what you can find in the quest to brew the perfect pint Sean Lewis was living in Boston when he first set foot inside the Blue Hills Brewery. He was writing for BeerAdvocate magazine about America's craft brewers, and the then-fledgling Blue Hills was his first assignment. Lewis was immediately struck by the spirit of the brewers he met there. That visit would lead him first to an intensive study of beer-brewing, and later to a nation-spanning journey into the heart—and the art—of American beer making. What Lewis found along the way was a group of like-minded craftsmen—creators who weren't afraid to speak their minds, who saw their competitors as cherished friends. A group who takes sheer joy in their work, and who seeks the same kind of balance in their lives as they do in the barrels they brew. He shared pints with pioneering upstarts like Paul and Kim Kavulak of Nebraska Brewing Company, and talked shop with craft beer stalwarts like Ken Grossman of Sierra Nevada and bombastic innovators like Greg Koch (the "Arrogant Bastard" behind Stone Brewing Co.). He found, in them and others, a community that put its...
