I Came All This Way to Meet You...

Anônimo

Named a Best Book of the Year by: Time * New Yorker * Sunday Times (UK)
From New York Times bestselling author Jami Attenberg comes a dazzling memoir about unlocking and embracing her creativity—and how it saved her life.
In this brilliant, fierce, and funny memoir of transformation, Jami Attenberg—described as a “master of modern fiction” (Entertainment Weekly) and the “poet laureate of difficult families” (Kirkus Reviews)—reveals the defining moments that pushed her to create a life, and voice, she could claim for herself. What does it take to devote oneself to art? What does it mean to own one’s ideas? What does the world look like for a woman moving solo through it?
As the daughter of a traveling salesman in the Midwest, Attenberg was drawn to a life on the road. Frustrated by quotidian jobs and hungry for inspiration and fresh experiences, her wanderlust led her across the country and eventually on travels around the globe. Through it all she grapples with questions of mortality, otherworldliness, and what we leave behind.
It is during these adventures that she begins to reflect on the experiences of her youth—the trauma, the challenges, the risks she has taken. Driving across America on self-funded book tours, sometimes crashing on couches when she was broke, she keeps writing: in researching articles for magazines, jotting down ideas for novels, and refining her craft, she grows as an artist and increasingly learns to trust her gut and, ultimately, herself.
Exploring themes of friendship, independence, class, and drive, I Came All This Way to Meet You is an inspiring story of finding one’s way home—emotionally, artistically, and physically—and an examination of art and individuality that will resonate with anyone determined to listen to their own creative calling.

A Nation With Two Face - Brave...

Dr. Azami

A Nation with Two Faces: A Brave Nation in the Darkness is a powerful reflection on Afghanistan’s twenty-year war, from the U.S.-led invasion in 2001 to the chaotic withdrawal in 2021. 
 It explores the rise, fall, and resurgence of the Taliban, revealing the deep political and cultural complexities behind their return. Through the voices of civilians, it documents the immense human cost, loss, displacement, and trauma etched into daily life. The book critically examines foreign interventions, questioning motives beyond the fight against terrorism. 
 Women’s rights and media narratives are analyzed in contrast with the lived realities of Afghan women. It confronts war crimes, injustice, and the silence around accountability, urging global awareness and responsibility. 
 Eyewitness memories bring raw emotion and vivid imagery to the chaos, fear, and resilience of Afghan communities. The book remains neutral, prioritizing truth over blame, and focuses on human stories above politics. 
 It highlights the gap between foreign policies and ground realities, emphasizing cultural misunderstanding. 
 Each chapter adds depth to the complex puzzle of Afghanistan’s struggle for peace, identity, and sovereignty. 
 This is not just a story of war, but a call for compassion, justice, and a rethinking of international intervention. 
 A tribute to the resilience of the Afghan people, the book serves as both a historical record and a message for the future.

National Ballot Measures 2024 -...

Michael Mathiesen

National Ballot Measures 2024 - Living Democracy is my gift to the country that I love dearly and have always wanted to see it survive, thrive and improve. 
Whenever I am forced to listen to a speech made by any of our Congressmen or women, I will often count the number of times they will refer to America as a 'Democracy'. They use that word an average of 15 to 20 times per speech. 
They'll say things like - "Democracy is not pretty." Or they'll say, "Democracy is messy and people don't want to see how the sausage is made." Or they will say that people are trying to "end the 'American experiment in Democracy."  
Or they'll quote one of the greatest of the founding fathers - Benjamin Franklin who was asked as the signers of of the Constitution were leaving: "Mr. Franklin, what kind of government have you given us?" 
And Franklin replied: "A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it." 
And so, we can take from this very portentous comment from Ben Franklin that the founding fathers were well aware that there would be forces someday who would try to take even this very modest amount of democracy - a Representative form of Democracy away from us.   
It would take almost 250 years for this prediction to come true, but here we are under the threat of a dictatorship that could be forced upon us any minute will certainly spell the end of the American Experiment in Democracy, or it will cause a huge upheaval, perhaps even another Civil War, as many are predicting. 
Not if we make a MAJOR IMPROVEMENT in our form of Government. . 
Every election more than half of our registered voters sit it out and the reason is that every election we find ourselves voting for the same old same old. With the modern technology we have gained, there is no reason why we cannot vote on National Ballot Measures instead of two men in suits.
