Never Without a Song
Author: Katharine D. Newman
language: en
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
Release Date: 1995
Never Without a Song focuses on the centrality of folksong in the life of Jennie Devlin, a woman who worked for fourteen years as a "bound-out girl" along the New York-Pennsylvania border and later lived in Philadelphia and Gloucester, New Jersey. Katharine Newman met Devlin in 1936 and compiled information about the older woman's life and music. Half a century later, Newman returned to her collection in retirement-with her own perspective of age. The result is a unique biography of an American working-class woman, told with depth and candor. It includes "I Wish I'd Been Born a Boy," "James Bird," "Martha Decker," "My Grandmother's Old Armchair," and other pieces, both British and American, most with tunes.
Not Without a Fight
Turning thirty leaves scars. It's like watching the odometer roll over on you car. For Kevin Andrews, the morning of his thirtieth birthday signals another nail in his coffin. When his wife tells him that morning that she's pregnant, Kevin knows his days of youth are slowly coming to an end. In an attempt to recapture those glory days, Kevin embarks on a trek to make Odysseus hang his head in shame. Kevin meets drunken neighbors, receives advice from an old hippy, and nearly ruins his marriage when he runs into an old girlfriend. This novel proves what women already know. Men are idiots.
