The Whiskey Bottle Conversation
The Whiskey Bottle Conversation by David Leonard is a history lesson taught through the dialogue between father and son on a snowy weekend. While warmth, compassion, and caring between two men are demonstrating throughout this book, the story line is fascinating as Dick tells of his experiences growing up in small-town America and his adventures as he goes off to fight in World War II. This book is a delight. It allows the reader to see a much different world than the one we know today. Through Dick’s stories and his letters home during the war, we are reminded of the important things in life – a sense of family, a sense of country, and a sense of humor. – Carol Erwin This book was great reading!! Being a World War II vet myself, it took me back to a time when there was more pride and awareness in what a great country we live in. – Ernie Reinke It was a pleasure to read this book. It gave us a look at the life of a bright and restless young boy growing up in the North Country of New York State, who as a young man, became an important leader during World War II, when he posted in the U.S. and China. His letters to his family made us feel as though we were right there with him. – Ross D. Jacobs (WWII Vet of the R.C.A.F.) I was mesmerized by the book. I read the greater part in one sitting. – Norinne B. David A true bonding of father and son, covering pages in history that could well have been a chapter from Tom Brokaw’s “The Greatest Generation”. As a contemporary of Richard Leonard, I enjoyed re-living many similar events in my own life. – Gerard B. Eagan
The Unruly Woman
Author: Kathleen Rowe Karlyn
language: en
Publisher: University of Texas Press
Release Date: 2011-01-20
Unruly women have been making a spectacle of themselves in film and on television from Mae West to Roseanne Arnold. In this groundbreaking work, Kathleen Rowe explores how the unruly woman—often a voluptuous, noisy, joke-making rebel or "woman on top"—uses humor and excess to undermine patriarchal norms and authority. At the heart of the book are detailed analyses of two highly successful unruly women—the comedian Roseanne Arnold and the Muppet Miss Piggy. Putting these two figures in a deeper cultural perspective, Rowe also examines the evolution of romantic film comedy from the classical Hollywood period to the present, showing how the comedic roles of actresses such as Katharine Hepburn, Barbara Stanwyck, and Marilyn Monroe offered an alternative, empowered image of women that differed sharply from the "suffering heroine" portrayed in classical melodramas.
