Synopsis

In 'Some Experiences of an Irish R.M,' readers are invited into a richly woven tapestry of humor and satire set against the backdrop of rural Ireland. The anthology encapsulates the whimsical misadventures and cultural nuances faced by an Irish Resident Magistrate, offering a vivid portrayal of life in late 19th and early 20th-century Ireland. The range of literary styles—from idyllic descriptions to keenly observed social commentary—ensures that each tale stands alone while contributing to a cohesive narrative that blends realism with the charm of Irish folklore. Notable narrative moments engage the reader with wit and an ironic view of the Anglo-Irish gentry's interactions with local citizens, reflecting the broader socio-political tapestry of its time. At the heart of this anthology are the collaborative efforts of Martin Ross and E. Œ. Somerville, visionary authors who deftly capture the cultural zeitgeist of their era. Their partnership brings together a seamless blend of humor and perceptive observation, influenced by their acute awareness of Irish history and social dynamics. This collection aligns with the broader literary movement of Anglo-Irish literature, where themes of colonialism, identity, and cultural assimilation are explored through personal and often comical lenses. An essential read, 'Some Experiences of an Irish R.M' offers an exceptional opportunity to traverse the intersecting worlds of colonial Ireland and literary humor. Readers will appreciate the anthology's capacity to entertain while provoking contemplation on historical and cultural evolution. Through this collection, Ross and Somerville deliver a narrative enriched by diverse perspectives that engage the reader, fostering a deeper understanding of both the era it depicts and the timeless human experiences it conveys.

    In March of 2004, Kathleen Savio, the third wife of Police Sergeant Drew Peterson, was found dead in her bathtub. Three years later, in October 2007, twenty-three-year-old Stacy Peterson vanished from the Chicago suburb of Bolingbrook, leaving behind Peterson and their children. Drew Peterson, thirty years Stacy's senior, steadfastly asserted his innocence and maintained that his fourth wife had simply fled their tumultuous marriage and run off with another man. In light of Stacy' s curious disappearance, however, Kathleen' s body was exhumed, a second autopsy was conducted, and her death ruled a homicide.
    Drawing upon exclusive interviews with Stacy' s friends and family and even Drew himself, Chicago-area reporter Joseph Hosey presents the most researched account of the Stacy Peterson case. As the charges against Peterson mounted, one haunting question remains: Where on earth is Stacy?

    A chance to delve into the minds of children and adults among the ruined streets of post-war London. The streets were our playground with not a car in sight, where we played all day. 
    On Sundays, bugle boy bands marched past us and in the evening the military band raised our spirits. 
    Life was never dull. Our parents took us to the zoo and for boat rides on the Serpentine.

    Brilliant, witty, perceptive essays about fly-fishing, the natural world, and life in general by the acknowledged master of fishing writers. 
     
     
     
    While most of us fly-fish to escape from daily life, for John Gierach and his friends fly-fishing IS a way of life. They are trout bums. But John Gierach is also an exceptional writer. The essays in Trout Bum are reflective, bitingly humorous, and enormously wise in the ways of fishing and men. In vivid, unforgettable detail they recount the emotional, spiritual, and tangible adventures and pleasures of stalking trout in and around the Rockies—day in, day out, from season to season, with friends, and alone. John Gierach's essays join the literary tradition of angling classics like The River Why, and A River Runs Through It.
