HOMEMAKER https://ift.tt/JNxdLmK

Image
Prairie Nightingale’s business card says “Homemaker,” but the divorced, sharp-eyed mother of two has more ambitious plans for her life in Green Bay, Wisconsin. While waiting for her kids at school pickup, Prairie wonders why her former friend Amber Jenkins is carrying a very expensive handbag when her car has a broken taillight and her phone has a broken screen. Prairie used to be a member of a mothers’ group until she revealed that the popular Dr. Nathan Carmichael was sexually abusing his patients, causing a major scandal in Green Bay and turning Prairie into a pariah. She still has a good relationship with her ex-husband, Greg, but she’s realized that he took her considerable skills for granted during their unequal marriage. When local mom Lisa Radcliffe goes missing, Prairie gets a chance to prove her chops as an investigator. Why would someone as happy and well-off as Lisa disappear? Although Prairie’s always liked Lisa, who made serious money as a person high up the line of peop...

GOATS AFLOAT https://ift.tt/t4egFxb

Image
On their way to deliver a birthday cake to Granny Goat, our spirited heroes carefully steer clear of the direct path, which would take them under the bridge where the fearful troll dwells.

Observant readers will notice whimsical signs—and wonder about the places they lead—and they may even catch sight of the adorably dejected, camouflaged bridge troll lurking behind th...

Carl Box calls it “a bit of mischief” when he learns that Aunt Lillian has left him land in France upon her apparent death. He doesn’t want to travel at all, much less for someone he barely knows, and what little he does know of his aunt suggests she was estranged from the family for unclear reasons.

In 2017, a report by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission found that “every major Hollywood studio systematically discriminated against hiring female directors,” even though “the graduating classes of America’s top film schools are 50/50 male/female.” Moreover, Smokler was surprised to discover that “articulate, well-heeled, filmgoing friends” were uninformed about women’s contributions to cinema, such as not knowing that Greta Gerwig was an accomplished director well before Barbie . In this entertaining corrective, Smokler, a writer and documentary filmmaker, interviewed 25 writers, producers, and directors—all of them Americans who “have at least one film or television series a reasonably avid movie watcher would have heard of or seen”—and asked them “to focus on the stories of their triumphs that we can all learn from and share.” Among the participants are Barbara Kopple, “the Mother Courage of American documentary filmmaking”; Julie Dash, “the first black woman to direct a ...

THE SKY WILL OVERTAKE YOU https://ift.tt/wSh1yKb

Image
Falk explores themes of transience, memory, and grief in this book of poems rooted in nature. In the opening entry, the speaker’s muse informs her that she is unnecessary because the sky is a “stunning event” whose ever-changing inspiration is more powerful than imagination. In “It,” the poet describes a fleeting but blissful moment of nothingness, “the mind gently sweeping thought away / until the window is blank” before life’s noise rushes in again. As “Morning” dawns, the speaker admires the sunrise, determined to love her life despite regrets. In “Geranium,” she contemplates the flower’s “hot eye, / which glares back at you like fire.” A “Summer Storm” batters a garden, and the speaker wonders why some blooms survived while the peonies succumbed to the downpour. A bird careening into a window serves as an “Awakening.” Memories of childhood difficulties creep into some of the poems: “The Walls of My House” recalls tension between a girl and her mother, juxtaposed with a neighbor in...

Sixteen-year-old Alice Drinkard finally gets to share an adventure with her father. They’re leaving their London home for the New World, where his new business opportunity awaits. Alice is angry that her mother is joining them, as she’d tried marrying her daughter off to an older man despite Alice being smitten with someone else.

The mysterious circumstances of their departure from the Cliff House still have the locals buzzing, but the buzz hasn’t reached Serena Winters, the well-known author of 11 Layne Farraday mysteries, until after she’s settled in the Cliff House. “Settled” may not be the best word, since she’s greeted by a series of anonymous messages beginning with “LEAVE TOWN NOW” and then escalating in their threats.

As he grew older, collecting comics combined with a love of acting, gymnastics, and kung fu, resulting in a job working for Marvel Promotions playing the character of Spider-Man in live appearances. This prompted the author to move to New York to seek out other acting roles. A life-changing meeting with Superman stunt coordinator Alex Stevens led him to take part in some of the movie’s New York–set action scenes. Financial necessity led to stunt work on a low-budget film called Mother’s Day  in 1979. Adding some stage-combat training to his gymnastics and martial arts expertise, this opened a completely new career. Leva recounts his journey working on various productions and growing his reputation as a stunt man, sharing plenty of photos and anecdotes as he goes from barely making ends meet to winning a 2...

Finnegan Pyle in his investigation into the death of Homer O’Hara. Pyle is there because O’Hara worked for gangster Tommy Fletcher, and Gil, Finn, and Tommy were childhood friends.

In the forlorn aftermath of his parents’ deaths during the Covid-19 epidemic, 30-something Dawson Wozniak moves from California to Puerto Vallarta; as a book editor, he’s able to work remotely, and he pines to start his life anew. One evening, he shares a furtive kiss with Ivan, who works at the apartment complex where Dawson lives. The two hear a loud argument and then witness a young man falling off the roof to his death. Ivan is anxious to conceal his whereabouts at the time of the incident and convinces Dawson to keep mum, but after the death is ruled an accident Dawson is bedeviled by guilt over their lack of full disclosure. In this subtly composed narrative, Dawson pursues a relationship with Ivan, who is both unsure of their compatibility—they hail from “different worlds,” he believes—and his own sexuality. As evidence of foul play mounts regarding the death of Benito Perez, the young man who fell (or was pushed) off the roof, Dawson grows increasingly fretful that he has negl...

JOB JUNKY https://ift.tt/MNHozw7

Ridolfo started working when he was only 12 years old, manning the counter at his parents’ grocery store, the humble beginning to an extraordinarily long, diverse list of jobs. Before he broke into show business as an actor and an indie filmmaker, he had no choice but to support himself with a “lifetime of phantom jobs,” which amounted to 40 years of disposable positions. In this brief memoir, fewer than 100 pages long, he reflects on nearly 50 of the most eventful ones, each presented as a comic (and sometimes dramatic) anecdote. While he worked jobs in his eventual profession—actor, screenwriter, even an actors workshop instructor—he filled plenty of random roles: lumberyard worker, martial arts teacher, and night club manager, to name a small sampling. In one particularly entertaining vignette, he describes working as a translator for someone appearing in court who pretended he was unable to speak English (“Sorry. I don’ understand… issa not true”). From this wry tale emerges a tho...

Peripatetic 11-year-old twins Josh and Lizzie started up north, racing dogs in rural Alaska. Next, they traveled to Massachusetts, where they helped find a missing museum artifact. Now, the siblings are in Ohio, embarking on an adventure involving Indigenous American mounds and artifacts. The twins, who are staying with family friends, befriend William, who once had a love of collecting rocks but became a soccer player after being bullied about his hobby by a group of classmates led by his former friend Brady. Josh and Lizzie learn about the nearby Noah Smith Mound. They head to a creek to look for treasure, and they find a red sweatshirt that suggests Brady might be disrespecting the land and searching for relics. Josh bonds with Wyan, a new neighbor and a descendant of the Wyandot tribe, who teaches his friends that the mounds are sacred spaces, not soccer fields. On a visit to a cultural center, Josh, Lizzie, and William meet Susan Chadwick, whose workshop on arrowheads rekindles W...
