Sinopsis

'We hadn't a clue till we got the telly and then we wanted to be like dallas. We were never happy, that we knew of. We were always longing for something else, so we kept doing the same.'
Standing in Gaps turns back time and transports the reader to a place where everything moved slowly – and in the Leitrim of the '60s, '70s and '80s, that means really slowly.
In this memoir about rural Ireland, family, people and time, award-winning playwright Seamus O'Rourke finds diamond tipped needles in bales of really bad hay, turning the mundane into magic and providing much hilarity and mayhem for his many fans along the way.
Disponible desde: 12/09/2024.
Longitud de impresión: 336 páginas.

    When we read or listen, words can have a transforming effect.  Our mood can alter in the space of a few sentences from joy to sadness.  And not just our mood.  These words can affect us physically, they can engage our emotions and even in their sadness bring a lump to our throat and tears to our eyes.  Sometimes the relief can be palpable. 
     
    Our authors, from Anton Chekhov, Stephen Crane, Willa Cather, Katherine Mansfield and a wealth of others are well aware of what their talents will evoke.   Genius has many names.

    A collection of riveting, inspiring, and stereotype-shattering stories that reveal the beauty, diversity, and strength of Muslim women both past and present.  
    Tired of seeing Muslim women portrayed as weak, sheltered, and limited, journalist Seema Yasmin reframes how the world sees them, to reveal everything they CAN do and the incredible, stereotype-shattering ways they are doing it. 
    Featuring 125 full-color illustrations by illustrator Fahmida Azim throughout, Muslim Women Are Everything is a celebration of the ways in which past and present Muslim women from around the world are singing, dancing, reading, writing, laughing, experimenting, driving, and rocking their way into the history books.  
    Forget subservient, oppressed damsels—say hello to women who are breaking down barriers using their art, their voices, and their activism, including:Tesnim Sayar from Denmark, a Muslim goth-punk who wears a red tartan mohawk on top of her hijabAmerican superstar singer SZA, who sings alongside Rihanna and writes songs forBeyoncéNura Afia, CoverGirl’s first hijabi ambassadorIlhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, America’s first Muslim congresswomenIlyana Insyirah, a hijaab-wearing scuba-diving midwife from Australia  
    Showcasing women who defy categorization, Muslim Women Are Everything proves that to be Muslim and a woman is to be many things: strong, vulnerable, trans, disabled, funny, entrepreneurial, burqa or bikini clad, and so much more.
