  My Life Without a Nutshell

  Andrew Giuliano Lo Russo

  Life is about reflection and forgiveness. It has taken me a lifetime to figure that out. Sometimes we get too involved in our own daily trauma to realize what is happening around us and, subsequently, to us. Whenever I see an elderly person, I like to wonder what stories that person could tell me if given an opportunity. Or, better yet, what did that person learn about him or herself throughout a lifetime of adventures? I use the word "adventures" because life should be viewed as such. Nobody knows how long we'll be here. Nobody knows what will happen next or who we'll meet or who will influence us in the future. But we all can look back at our lives and either laugh or cry or, in my case, cringe at times. I chose to do them all, and I wouldn't change my life for anything in the world. I'm glad I went through some tough times because everything that happened to me had its purpose and lessons to be learned, and unfortunately, it took a lifetime to figure that out. My hopes are that whoever reads this won't need a lifetime like I did.
  
  My family immigrated from Italy to the United States when I was very young, and I wanted nothing more than to blend in with the American culture, but my old-school parents had other thoughts. I left home as a teenager to find myself and discovered a world full of wonderful opportunities; however, I also encountered a series of misfortunes that were both hilarious and unfortunate.
  
  Yes, I am embarrassed about some of the things I wrote about in my new work entitled My Life Without a Nutshell, but I really don't care. The only way to truly heal from past trauma is to be brutally honest with oneself, and that is the intention of this series of short stories. I apologize in advance.

  The conditions of travel have long been dictated by the color of passports and the color of skin. 
   
   
   
  The color of one's skin and passport have long dictated the conditions of travel.  For Shahnaz Habib, travel and travel writing have always been complicated pleasures. Habib threads the history of travel with her personal story as a child on family vacations in India, an adult curious about the world, and an immigrant for whom roundtrips are an annual fact of life. Tracing the power dynamics that underlie tourism, this insightful debut parses who gets to travel, and who gets to write about the experience. 
   
   
   
  Threaded through the book are inviting and playful analyses of obvious and not-so-obvious travel artifacts: passports, carousels, bougainvilleas, guidebooks, trains, the idea of wanderlust itself. Together, they tell a subversive history of travel as a Euro-American mode of consumerism—but as any traveler knows, travel is more than that. As an immigrant whose loved ones live across continents, Habib takes a deeply curious and joyful look at a troubled and beloved activity.

  Darkness lies in every corner of life. Sometimes you are lucky enough to avoid it; other times you are sucked in, and at its mercy. This journey through the horrors and torment of abuse in all its deplorable forms, is retold in explicit detail, because darkness does not care for the innocence of childhood nor for its screams of hope. From childhood to adolescence, then moving through teenage years, set against a backdrop of late 70s and early 80s punk rock London, this is a story of a young life lived; a testament to the value of friendship; a tale of hope. Based on actual events, PUNK: A Tale of Abuse, Addiction and Survival narrates the trials and tribulations of the need to fit in, squatting, heroin addiction, reaching the highs and the lowest of the lows, and surviving it all. Through sex, drugs and punk rock, you are pulled into Gary's journey at every twist and turn, in explicit page-turning detail.
