Beschreibung

In "The Old Soak, and Hail And Farewell," Don Marquis deftly intertwines humor and profound social commentary, creating a tapestry of interrelated tales that explore the complexities of human relationships and the human condition. This work showcases Marquis's unique literary style, characterized by witty dialogue and delightful wordplay, which serves to illuminate the often poignant realities of life. Set in a time when the American literary landscape was shifting towards modernist themes, Marquis's narratives reflect a keen awareness of the zeitgeist, particularly regarding the struggles of identity and belonging in a rapidly changing world. Don Marquis, renowned for his innovative use of anthropomorphism in his "Archy and Mehitabel" series, draws on his extensive journalistic background and personal experiences to inform his storytelling. His literary career encompassed various genres, allowing him to develop a rich perspective on both societal norms and the experience of the individual. These diverse influences culminate in this particular work, which not only entertains but also provokes essential reflections on the era's moral and social dilemmas. Readers seeking a combination of humor and insight will find "The Old Soak, and Hail And Farewell" an engaging and thought-provoking addition to their literary collection. Marquis's mastery of language and his exploration of deep themes make this book a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the intersections of life and literature.

    As fortune would have it, you have just stumbled across an off-the-leash, unbridled small compendium of outrageous stories called “Instant Ancestors.” Thanks to the lop-sided imagination of author Russell Shuler, you’ll meet a cast of characters, complete with a fabulous portrait (and subtle story clues contained therein), caught in every conceivable slant of shenanigan and predicament.Stick your toe in, and you’ll experience “the long hard stare” of Cletus McHaggis as he faces off with the “devastating beauty” of twins Ismerelda and Desdomena, circling one another in an ancient game of “dupe and roll.” You’ll follow the conjurings of Gloriah Jellylooloo, the “Memory Catalyst,” who brings cinema to events thought to be long buried and those yet to occur. Observe Smabdolem Ik as he encounters a troop of dwarf strippers with a dark side. And try to stay abreast with the show-stopping ideas of exotic fan dancer Izzy Ibrahim and her creative partner (and son) Shelley. All this flabbergastery, and more, is now available between the covers of “Instant Ancestors.”The Genesis of Instant AncestorsIt’s been said many times that you can pick your nose, but you can’t pick your relatives. I believed that to be true until, not long ago, I came across a shoe box crammed with family portraits taken roughly a hundred years ago in a favorite antique store. The stall proprietor included an index card with the scribbled broadside: “Instant Ancestors!” It went on to say that with these pictures, you could conjure up a long-lost relative from God knows where famous for such and such, and no one would be wiser. To be truthful, the idea appealed to my lop-sided, passionate sense of humor, so I bought the box of photographs and began imagining the personal chronicles of these precious folks who had been relegated to the dustbin of history.

Whether you're a fan of cowboy culture or just love a good memoir, DANCES WITH DONKEYS is reminiscent of cowboy poet laureate Baxter Black with a twist in the saddle. You'll laugh your "ass" off and come away with a whole new understanding of why little boys (and girls) grow up dreaming of being cowboys. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind journey into the heart of the American West.

    Synopsis 
    CEO Larisha Pushkin wants more power. She buys out Lizer, a pharmaceutical company. Yet it is the only company which does what is says; Change Your Life with Lizer. Years ago, the drug ‘figene’ took the World by storm. Described like Crystal Meth with a kick of Viagra. The gem of this opioid, users become who, not what they consume. The drug changes the internal part of the person, not their exterior. Users of the Nap (Napoleon) Ghost, give themselves enhanced charisma, success in most of their affairs. Unknown athletes are now finding endorsement deals. CEOs who were found to be weak are now lions of prowess. 
    The drug’s fatal side-effect is the fate knocker. In the Nap Ghost drug, death at the age 53, imprisonment, and poisoning give users a taste of their dreams. 
    Neuro-Physicist Jim Below founded the company. He refused to create an antidote to the kicker. This move gives Larissa the urgency to take control of the company.  
    Once in love, both Jim and Larissa are now on a collision course. Of course, they dare not speak of it to anyone. Like the rap adage goes, More Money, More Problems.  
    Volume Louder or Two will follow with enough interest. Peace Out. Doc King Cole
