Without Prejudice

Israel Zangwill

Beschreibung

In "Without Prejudice," Israel Zangwill crafts a compelling narrative that delves into the complexities of identity, belonging, and societal prejudice in the early 20th century. Through a poignant blend of realism and sharp social commentary, Zangwill explores the lives of Jewish immigrants navigating the cultural chasm between their heritage and the prevailing attitudes in British society. His distinctive literary style, marked by vivid characterizations and incisive dialogues, serves to illuminate the often-overlooked struggles for inclusion and acceptance faced by marginalized communities. Zangwill, a prominent figure in the Jewish literary renaissance, was deeply influenced by his own experiences as the child of Eastern European Jewish immigrants. His commitment to social justice and his advocacy for Jewish rights informed his narrative choices in "Without Prejudice," as he sought to highlight the intersections of ethnicity, class, and gender. This novel not only reflects the anxieties of its time but also resonates with the ongoing discourse surrounding diversity and assimilation in contemporary societies. I highly recommend "Without Prejudice" to readers who are interested in the historical intricacies of immigrant experiences and the perpetual struggle against prejudice. Through Zangwill's insightful prose, readers will gain a deeper understanding of societal dynamics and the enduring quest for identity and acceptance.

Text in Show - It's a Dog Text...

Whitney Dineen, Melanie Summers

Autumn Jones is at a crossroads. With no job offers in sight, she can either return to Koshkonong, Wisconsin to work at her dad's feed store or she can move to New York and help her older sister Helen coordinate the Manhattan Kennel Club Show. She and Helen may fight like cats and dogs, but Autumn would rather live with a thousand Helens than go home after seven years of college. 
 
 
 
Jack Campbell is the veterinarian to Manhattan's elite. Despite their adoration, he does not love them back. In fact, he's vowed never to date anyone who walks through the front door of his clinic. He spends his days caring for pampered poodles sporting diamond encrusted collars and placating their high maintenance owners. When he meets Autumn, he assumes she's going to be another client with more money than brains. 
 
 
 
Autumn is thrown into a bizarre world of highly competitive rich women who will do anything to win the coveted title of Best in Show at Manhattan's most exclusive competition. With her haughty sister breathing down her neck, and a high-strung poodle following her everywhere she goes, she doesn't have time for love, even if she does find herself face-to-face with America's hottest vet every day.

How to Raise an Art Star

Ara Tucker

Gus Hempelstein had only wanted to change things a little bit. He was about to find out that when you were dealing with Vabeh Gregson Bennett, you had to go big or find another playground.
Morgan and Devon Gregson Bennett are an interracial creative power couple living happily enough in Brooklyn until a freak accident leaves a little girl orphaned in Los Angeles. Setting aside reservations about the price motherhood will exact on their marriage and careers, Morgan and Devon agree to adopt Vabeh, a bi-racial ethnic-hair-products heiress. Vabeh touches down in New York, wearing last season’s fur and on a mission to quickly distinguish herself from the other bold-faced names at her new school, the tony School for Spoiled Kids.
Vabeh’s meteoric ascension as a painter isn’t enough to quell her ambition, so she opens the Walk-In Art Gallery. Soon, she has collectors and classmates clamoring for her attention. All is proceeding according to plan, until her trusted gallerina, Gus Hempelstein, turns in his skinny jeans and defects to open a rival gallery, the Sit Down, backed by Devon’s ex-lover and powerful art world patron, Pim Logan.
Even with a publicist and therapist working overtime on Vabeh’s behalf to protect her art world darling status, Morgan and Devon’s parenting skills are put to the test as the press breathlessly covers their every move.
Will Vabeh crumple under the weight of Gus’s devastating betrayal, or will she dust it off, chalking it up to just another day on the playground?

This Good Book

Iain Hood

'Sometimes I wonder, if I had known that it was going to take me fourteen years to paint this painting of the Crucifixion with Douglas as Jesus, and what it would take for me to paint this painting, would I have been as happy as I was then?'

Susan Alison MacLeod, a Glasgow School of Art graduate with a dark sense of humour, first lays eyes on Douglas MacDougal at a party in 1988, and resolves to put him on the cross in the Crucifixion painting she's been sketching out, but her desire to create 'good' art and a powerful, beautiful portrayal means that a final painting doesn't see the light of day for fourteen years.

Over the same years, Douglas's ever-more elaborately designed urine-based installations bring him increasing fame, prizes and commissions, while his modelling for Susan Alison, who continues to work pain and suffering on to the canvas, takes place mostly in the shadows. This Good Book is a wickedly funny, brilliantly observed novel that spins the moral compass and plays with notions of creating art.
