Sinossi

The Collected Works of H. L. Mencken is an anthology that captures the sweeping satirical prowess of one of America's most influential critics and essayists of the early 20th century.

The collection offers a tapestry of thought-provoking pieces that question societal norms and cultural dogmas, illuminating Mencken's acute observations on American life. Each work, carefully curated for its depth and relevance, contributes to a broader discourse on the complexities of human behavior. Bringing together the formidable talents of George Jean Nathan and H. L. Mencken, this anthology is more than a collection of writings; it is a convergence of two masterful voices reshaping literary commentary.

Teachers for Life

George Ayoma

Most educators are remembered in passing – their legacies often confined to classroom walls and fleeting school years. But imagine a world where teachers can reconnect with their former students, not just as distant memories, but as influential figures in their lives once again. Teachers for Life introduces us to two educators who seize this very opportunity. No longer in 
traditional classrooms, they embark on a journey to re-engage with their past students, not to amend their earlier mistakes, but to bridge the gaps they’ve perceived since leaving their formal roles. In doing so, they impart invaluable life lessons, shaping not just minds, but hearts, proving that the influence of a dedicated teacher extends far beyond school and lasts a lifetime.

On James Baldwin

Colm Tóibín

Acclaimed Irish novelist Colm Tóibín first read James Baldwin just after turning eighteen. He had completed his first year at an Irish university and was struggling to free himself from a religious upbringing. Inspired by the novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, Tóibín found a writer who would be a lifelong companion and exemplar. 
 
 
 
From On James Baldwin: 
 
 
 
Baldwin was interested in the hidden and dramatic areas in his own being, and was prepared as a writer to explore difficult truths about his own private life. In his fiction, he had to battle for the right of his protagonists to choose or influence their destinies. He knew about guilt and rage and bitter privacies in a way that few of his White novelist contemporaries did. And this was not simply because he was Black and homosexual; the difference arose from the very nature of his talent, from the texture of his sensibility. "All art," he wrote, "is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story, to vomit the anguish up." 
 
 
 
On James Baldwin is a magnificent contemporary author's tribute to one of his most consequential literary progenitors.

Fulfilling Dreams Lesson's...

Patty Mae Gray

I chose to write this book after moving from Washington to Port Protection, Alaska to start a full-service fishing lodge. I had been asked several times by lodge guests, “What made you sell everything and move to Port Protection, Alaska to start a fishing lodge?” The other question asked most often was about our recipes. This made me feel so proud. I had thought we would be able to hire a cook but realized we couldn’t afford it at the time. I had to do the cooking. I lost sleep. I had to work so hard to find the easiest and best recipes and put a meal plan together, including lunches for our guests to eat on the boats. I kept a journal that I am now sharing. 
Patty Mae Gray was born and raised in Seattle, Washington. She grew up fishing, gardening, and investing in real estate. 
In 1994, when Patty and her husband were moving to Port Protection, Alaska, she started her first journal. She is currently transforming her journals into novels. 
She lives in Arizona with her dog, Lucy and parrot, Mattie. 
Her goal is for her readers to enjoy and learn from each of her experiences through her stories. 
This is narrated for the author.
