The stories that speak is an endearing romp through dozens of locations, genres and writing styles. Teleport instantly from chance encounters at the Zurich airport to soul connections near a Goan beach and animal rescues in a New Delhi coffee shop. Chase after a flying mustache, a girl getting a haircut in Florence and Greek mythology with just the turn of a page. This is first collaboration of musician-poet Sahil Miglani and writer Sikandar Marwah and their shared love of prose and verse. The collection of poems and short stories blurs the line between fiction and reality, and promises to be an enjoyable riot of unpredictable plots and memorable characters tied together by the thread of a unique literary approach.
Gold
"Now after 50 years, it's time for Canada to stand up and cheer. Stand up and cheer everybody! The Olympics Salt Lake City, 2002, men's ice hockey gold medal: Canada!" —Bob Cole, CBC play-by-play broadcaster There was no iconic Paul Henderson moment, nor a Sidney Crosby golden goal, but Canada's 5-2 victory against the rival United States in the men's 2002 Olympic gold medal game wiped out 50 years of frustration for the nation that invented ice hockey. Canadians from coast to coast were whipped into a frenzy, with impromptu celebrations on streets like Granville in Vancouver, Yonge in Toronto, Ste-Catherine in Montreal, and Portage and Main in Winnipeg. Gold is the definitive chronicle of how the men of Team Canada made history. Marking 20 years since the momentous victory, Tim Wharnsby delivers the inside story of how Gretzky built the team and Pat Quinn got them to the gold medal, featuring exclusive interviews with players, coaches, and personnel. Readers will hear directly from Gretzky, Jarome Iginla, Joe Sakic, Steve Yzerman, and more in this thrilling and immersive narrative of Olympic triumph.
