The Audit
Author: Francine Messier
language: en
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency
Release Date: 2017-05-08
The Audit: How an Honest Mistake Became a Federal Crime tells the true story of how an honest mistake was found during a routine audit of the author’s taxes, how it was investigated illegally, and how she was charged with tax evasion, taken to court by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), and convicted. The tongue-in-cheek book by retired accountant Francine Messier describes how the CRA will present or omit only the documentation that supports its selected cases, and how it is never brought to task for bullying, lying, intimidation, or threats. Besides which, the CRA has the unfair advantage of having endless financial resources (our tax dollars) to use against a taxpayer who often must concede due to financial constraints. This story is written from a sardonic point of view to tell how this taxpayer was subjected to routine unfair practices by government tax agencies, and ended up charged and convicted of tax evasion as the result of a simple error. The same thing also happens with the IRS in America. Meet an over-zealous auditor, a sneaky investigator, a make-it-up-as-you-go enforcer, a driven, devious prosecutor, and a judge who leaned in favor of the prosecution. This whole fiasco took nine years to play out. “As an accountant, I have fought with the CRA for over 30 years protecting my clients, good people who did not deserve the intimidation and threatening tactics by this agency, sometimes actually inciting fear of loss of home and freedoms. People should be more aware how often innocent taxpayers are pursued and harassed, often without cause. I am tired of seeing all this go on without reproach.”
Impossible Returns
Author: Iraida H. Lopez

Publisher: University Press of Florida

In this one-of-a-kind volume, Iraida López explores various narratives of return by those who left Cuba as children or adolescents. Including memoirs, semi-autobiographical fiction, and visual arts, many of these accounts feature a physical arrival on the island while others depict a metaphorical or vicarious experience by means of fictional characters or childhood reminiscences. As two-way migration increases in the post-Cold War period, many of these narratives put to the test the boundaries of national identity. Through a critical reading of works by Cuban American artists and writers like María Brito, Ruth Behar, Carlos Eire, Cristina García, Ana Mendieta, Gustavo Pérez Firmat, Ernesto Pujol, Achy Obejas, and Ana Menéndez, López highlights the affective ties as well as the tensions underlying the relationship between returning subjects and their native country. Impossible Returns also looks at how Cubans still living on the island depict returning émigrés in their own narratives, addressing works by Jesús Díaz, Humberto Solás, Carlos Acosta, Nancy Alonso, Leonardo Padura, and others. Blurring the lines between disciplines and geographic borders, this book underscores the centrality of Cuba for its diaspora and bears implications for other countries with widespread populations in exile.
