Beschreibung

Irvin S. Cobb's 'J. Poindexter, Colored' delves into the complex and nuanced portrayal of race relations in the American South during the early 20th century. Through the story of J. Poindexter, a black man navigating a society rife with prejudice and discrimination, Cobb masterfully illuminates the harsh realities faced by African Americans. The narrative is characterized by Cobb's signature blend of wit, humor, and poignant observations, making it a compelling and thought-provoking read. The book's exploration of social injustice and the resilience of the human spirit is powerfully conveyed through Cobb's vivid and incisive prose. 'J. Poindexter, Colored' stands as a timeless work of literature that continues to resonate with readers today. Irvin S. Cobb, a renowned journalist and humorist, drew inspiration for this novel from his own experiences growing up in the South and witnessing the injustices of racial segregation. His keen insights and deep empathy shine through in his portrayal of J. Poindexter's struggles, making the book a poignant and impactful commentary on race and society. I highly recommend 'J. Poindexter, Colored' to readers interested in exploring the complexities of race relations and the enduring power of human resilience.

    Distinguished by Variety as "a fast riser," Mark Tatulli's morbidly mirthful comic strip Lio proves that happiness is indeed a modified Snuggie for you and your favorite eight-armed cephalopod. Reheated Lio, the fourth Lio cartoon collection, includes 40 weeks of color Sunday strips as well as black-and-white daily strips. Drawn in the style of cartooning greats Gahan Wilson, Charles Addams, and 19th-century satirist A. J. Volck, Lio is a pantomime strip that tells its story without any dialogue or cartoon captions. Fans of Lio recognize the spiky-haired ghostly pale youngster as a curious scientist, a comic-book fan, the defender of the defenseless, and the creator of a legion of zombie bunnies, flanked by his creepy coterie of friends, including giant squid Ishmael and the scythe-carrying grim reaper.Inside Reheated Lio, readers learn how Mr. Sneaky's Jokes and Gags can make archery practice more fun, along with the many uses of spiders--including their essential roles in Girl Scout cookie procurement and as a quality pizza condiment. Cozy up to your favorite Snuggied cephalopod with Reheated Lio.

    At thirty-two, Faith Frankel has returned to her claustro-suburban hometown, where she writes institutional thank-you notes for her alma mater. It's a peaceful life, really, and surely with her recent purchase of a sweet bungalow on Turpentine Lane her life is finally on track. Never mind that her fiance is off on a crowdfunded cross-country walk, too busy to return her texts (but not too busy to post photos of himself with a different woman in every state). And never mind her witless boss, or a mother who lives too close, or a philandering father who thinks he's Chagall. When she finds some mysterious artifacts in the attic of her new home, she wonders whether anything in her life is as it seems.
