Summary

Excerpt:
"The following pages narrate a story of detective experience, which, in many respects, is alike peculiar and interesting, and one which evinces in a marked degree the correctness of one of the cardinal principles of my detective system, viz.: "That crime can and must be detected by the pure and honest heart obtaining a controlling power over that of the criminal." The history of the old man who, although in the possession of unlimited wealth, leaves the shores of his native land to escape the imagined dangers of assassination, and arrives in America, only to meet his death—violent and mysterious."

    Summary of Dan Lyons's Disrupted is a memoir about Lyons’s experiences as a middle-aged career journalist who takes a job in marketing at a startup. For years, Lyons wrote for Newsweek about technology and was well-known for starting a popular satirical blog about Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. At age 51, he lost his job in the magazine’s downsizing. He started looking for another job right away to support his young children and his wife, who had just quit her job for health reasons. 
    The media industry had changed substantially from the time Lyons first started working as a journalist, and he found it difficult to find another job. He accepted a position as editor-in-chief of the news website ReadWrite, which required a lot of travel, and noticed his journalist colleagues transitioning to marketing departments at startups to take advantage of the booming startup economy. Lyons decided to pursue the same career change…

    Disclaimer: This is NOT the official book, but a summary & it does NOT accompany the official. 
    In "The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder" by David Grann, readers are thrust into a thrilling narrative based on true events surrounding the shipwreck of His Majesty's Ship the Wager in the 1740s. On a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain, the Wager pursued a treasure-laden Spanish galleon before meeting its tragic fate off the Patagonian coast. The wreckage and the ensuing survival tale provoke questions surrounding heroism, mutiny, and the human capacity for survival under the most extreme conditions. 
    The survivors' ordeal spans many months of starvation and anarchy, as they battled to endure in a harsh, desolate environment. The narrative takes a dramatic turn when two groups of survivors — one landing in Brazil and the other in Chile — narrate conflicting accounts of the events that transpired during their harrowing journey. This divergence sets the stage for a court-martial, where the truth hangs in a precarious balance with life-and-death stakes. 
    Grann excels in bringing this historic tale to life, paralleling the depth of narrative nonfiction greats and survival literature classics. The unraveling court-martial narrative holds the savvy of a courtroom thriller, beckoning readers into a vividly recreated world of 18th-century naval warfare and exploration.

    A personal meditation on love in the shadow of white privilege and racismChild is the story of Judy Goldman's relationship with Mattie Culp, the Black woman who worked for her family as a live-in maid and helped raise her—the unconscionable scaffolding on which the relationship was built and the deep love. It is also the story of Mattie's child, who was left behind to be raised by someone else. Judy, now eighty, cross-examines what it was to be a privileged white child in the Jim Crow South, how a bond can evolve in and out of step with a changing world, and whether we can ever tell the whole truth, even to ourselves. It is an incandescent book of small moments, heart-warming, heartbreaking, and, ultimately, inspiring.
