The Damon Runyon Theatre Hour. Damon Runyon is acknowledged as one of the great writers to come out of twentieth century America. Runyon's short stories are almost always told in the first person by a narrator who is never named, and whose role is unclear; he knows many gangsters and has no job that can be gleaned from his musings, nor does he admit to any criminal involvement; He’s a bystander, an observer, an average street-corner Joe. Runyon described himself as "being known to one and all as a guy who is just around". That line seems to say a lot about Runyon and his life. It was like you were with him on some street corner hustle or some shady dive and he was filling you in on all the angles, all the gossip, all of life. He was who so many people wanted to be with……or so many people wanted to be. Of course, the cliché about newspapermen and writers is that they are heavy drinkers, chain-smokers, gamblers and obsessively chase women with a sideline in the gathering of stories and facts and actually getting something written just before the deadline hits. That seems like Damon Runyon and his life summed up in one sentence. His stories became legendary ways of looking that bit differently at America, of soaking up the atmosphere of a glamorous and rip-roaring age and distilling it into black and white type or, in our case, The Damon Runyon Theatre Hour.Mostra libro

Four tales from popular children storytellersMostra libro
This case contains more than mementos. Clara’s mom has always had a peculiar admiration for other people’s possessions. At first, it was only small, insignificant things: a shirt, a hair clip, and the like. But over the years Mamma’s tastes have grown. When Clara discovers an odd suitcase in the back of her mother’s closet and its connection to the objects her mamma adores, she has to ask herself just how far Mamma’s love will go. And whether it can be stopped. A Case of Mamma's Love had the honor of taking 3rd prize in the 2019 Keats Soul Making Literary Competition sponsored by the League of American PEN Women. In 2020, the story was selected for the anthology XVIII by Underland Press. Ready to see what’s inside? Then pick up your copy of A Case of Mamma’s Love to hear this quirky tale today!Mostra libro
The Top 10 – Sherwood Anderson – An Introduction The lives of the everyday person are beautifully observed in Anderson’s beguiling prose. These miniature gems draw us in to streets, towns and situations that, in his words, reveal perhaps a truer and more realistic document of America than reality ever can. Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author? The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 1 - The Top Ten - Sherwood Anderson - An Introduction 2 - Hands by Sherwood Anderson 3 - An Awakening by Sherwood Anderson 4 - Adventure by Sherwood Anderson 5 - The Strength of God by Sherwood Anderson 6 - Death by Sherwood Anderson 7 - Seeds by Sherwood Anderson 8 - The Other Woman by Sherwood Anderson 9 - Brothers by Sherwood Anderson 10 - War by Sherwood Anderson 11 - Discovery of a Father by Sherwood AndersonMostra libro
