Paperback. Zustand: Good. Journey, the groundbreaking first book of the series If Where You're Going Isn't Home, is a recipient of a coveted ForeWord Clarion Five Star Review.It begins in 1956 when young Shake Tauffler hears a line of music on the radio of a cattle truck and discovers his dream to play jazz trumpet. His family is moving one last time - from a southern Utah ranch to a town outside Salt Lake - on his father's quest to bring his family from Switzerland to the heartland of the Mormon church. In two months, when Shake turns twelve, he'll join his buddies on a shared journey through the ranks of his father's take-no-prisoners religion. At the same time, armed with a used trumpet and his bike, he'll start another journey, on his own, to a place whose high priests aren't his father's friends but the Negro greats of jazz, men his religion has taught him to believe are cursed but from whose music he learns everything he dreams of being.Shaded with Huck Finn and James Dean, Shake Tauffler is an American kid we all recognize, a kid who responds to bigotry, abuse, repression, hypocrisy, and death with courage, humor, heartbreak, often pain, and always wonder. His rites of passage are keenly drawn and vividly familiar, his dream to play jazz shared by most any musician. But his ten-year story of growing up Mormon in America takes us to an altogether different place.Journey and its sister books of the series break new literary ground by finally putting the experience of growing up Mormon in America on the map as a story that readers everywhere can reach from the familiar territory of their own lives. It is meant for those of us who long to hunker down and lose ourselves in a big American story, one whose narrative canvas takes us from Switzerland to a southern Utah ranch, to Salt Lake and its outskirts towns, into the secret holy places of the Mormon Church, across the landscapes of Nevada, California, Las Vegas, Kentucky, Austria, the Mojave Desert. Lyrical, rowdy, unflinching, Journey follows Shake across the first three years of his search for the clarity and flight of a trumpet line to guide him to sexual, moral, and musical consciousness. It is a search that resolves - for now - in startling and extraordinary tenderness. Michael Strong, literary agent and co-founder of Zola Books, describes the book this way: Max Zimmer has written The Great American Mormon Novel. For decades, readers have depended upon a few extraordinary writers to understand fully what it means to be an American - Philip Roth, Julia Alvarez, Ralph Ellison, Erica Jong, John Updike. Zimmer has added a critical new dimension to our shared national understanding of who we are and how we got here in this sweeping narrative. Twelve-year-old Shake Tauffler's decades-long journey through the Mormon Church and beyond will resonate with all Americans who ponder their soul and place in our changing national portrait.…

English text. - Max Bill (1908-1994), a key figure of European modernism, was an all-rounder: consummate painter, sculptor, architect, designer, graphic artist and typographer; eminent theorist, teacher and curator; prolific publicist in many ways. From Switzerland and Germany, he built up a global network of female artists and protagonists of modernism. He was involved in various creative as well as social and political issues and promoted international dialogue.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - She lives in the desert a few miles outside Barstow in an old Airstream trailer. In the dirt off the side of the Airstream there's a small table with two foldout wooden chairs shaded by a big umbrella. When I pull up, she rises from one of the chairs and steps out into the sun. Tall, the muscles in her arms and legs defined in the way of an athlete, lean, dressed in pastel blue shorts and a sleeveless yellow top, she's still a striking woman for being in her sixties. There's a dancer's fluid and suggestive grace in the way she moves that echoes her years as a Las Vegas showgirl in her twenties and thirties. Her skin wears a smooth and even desert tan. Her hair, a soft faded red in the late morning sunlight, is loose and moves in cadence with her walk. This is Mavis Hopgood, the author of this itinerant collection of 29 stories, short prose pieces, anecdotes, and poems that come from different places and events of what she calls the pinball life she has lived across the country. In 'Oasis' there's the tragic portrait of Katy, once a lawyer, now a bartender in a dive bar with its circle of regulars n a field of oil refineries. In 'The China Doll' there's Frankie, a New York trumpet player on his way to a gig in L.A. who stops in Salt Lake for lunch and an attempt to reconcile with his recently widowed father. There's the Pushcart Prize story 'Utah Died for Your Sins.' In 'City of Uncles' a young soldier on his way to another assignment wanders a blue collar neighborhood yearning to finally come off the road and find belonging and permanence . There are Brazilian wolves. There's a magic radio in a 1953 Buick Roadmaster. There's winter in an upstate town and anecdotes about what people did to stay sane in 25 feet of snow. There's a dying refrigerator. There's Pearlita who works in a dashboard factory in the midwest. Jimmy, a street guy from the South, who keeps his New York neighborhood honest. The poems in her collection are equally wide ranging and surprising in style, range, and subject. There are lighthearted poems about a dying refrigerator and . Powerful purely imagistic poems like 'After You Set Your Head on Fire' and 'A Woman's Ass Is a Sometime Wondrous Moment.' Love poems like 'That You Will Awaken ' and 'Asking for Nothing.' In 'Newly Wed' a young freshly married couple can't wait to get home from work to do what a priest gave them the right to do. After fifteen years in Vegas, dancing in one casino hotel after another, she realized there was more to life than doing leg kicks in a chorus line. She wanted to let her life just happen. Let life come at her. Let it be spontaneous. Let its path be accidental, like the ball in a pinball machine, sent off in new directions with new possibilities one bumper or flipper to the next. Sometimes the bumpers hurt. Sometimes the flippers were mean. But there was always another bumper. Always another flipper. And usually there was a man involved. The pieces in her collection reflect the expanse, diversity, unpredictability, and poetic courage of that life. She has always loved writing. Whether the occasional poem, brief prose piece, or short story, it has been the one consistent and indestructible attribute of who she is. The one attribute that has never been accidental but has always held steady. From the slimness of this collection you can tell that she'd written only intermittently. She was always on the move. But writing held everything together for her.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Emotionally scalded by his excommunication trial in Vienna, Shake Tauffler returns to Salt Lake City. A failed missionary with a near-broken spirit, he must face everything but the music that brought him both joy and Mormon converts on an aborted mission. He sets aside the trumpet. He sets aside happiness. He sets aside all desire. Shake abases himself before his family and the church, marching slowly on a painful road of redemption, beginning with a carefully choreographed public confession. He repays the church for his plane ticket home. He attends church. He mows lawns, is an airport driver for the Holiday Inn, and a mobile home roofer. He tries to take classes at the University, but without direction. In fencing class he is confused by the kindness of classmates. He doesn't deserve kindness; he doesn't deserve anything. Mired in shame and self-hatred, Shake tries to protect his sister and brothers from the family dysfunction, whose toxicity penetrates nearly every meal and conversation.But he can not save them from the shame, anger and crazy that warps their family dynamic. So, adrift and disengaged, Shake moves out of his childhood home, spiritually dead. In a searing, dark valley of solitude, far from the Mormon church, tendrils of life appear. Shake purchases a used Porsche, the coolest car he had seen in Austria, and joins a weekend car club, where the pleasure of motion, companionship and the quiet growl of an air-cooled engine grounds and re-humanizes him. His new roommates introduce him to waitress Annie, whose champagne locks and kind eyes call Shake out of his tortured, silent mortification. Annie's family invites Shake into an unfamiliar universe shaped by love, forgiveness, and acceptance. The tension between her family and the Church's punishing rules force Shake to make profound choices between his father's smothering faith - and the raw, practical, 'of the world' love Annie offers.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 652 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | Told in astonishing prose, "Not into Night" is the long-awaited third novel of the series "If Where You're Going Isn't Home," the story of a boy growing up Mormon in America in pursuit of a dream to play jazz trumpet. At nineteen, Shake Tauffler is no stranger to conflict. A father who lets him know he'd rather have anyone else for a son. A disturbed mother who can switch from sweetness to rage in a heartbeat. In the summer of 1963, as the civil rights movement inflames America, he leaves Utah, his unprotected younger siblings, and his life as a gifted jazz trumpet player behind to spend two and a half years trying to convert Austria to the Mormon faith. A mission is his last obligation - and his last chance to prove himself - to his zealous father. At the same time, his interest in the fight for civil rights is deep and visceral. Back home, the girl he loves is black, as are his heroes, the dark-skinned men from whom he's learned everything he knows about playing jazz. In Austria he tries to satisfy his father's expectation to "harvest" its people for the church. But he's irresistibly drawn to the brutal and courageous struggle in the South. He tracks its events in foreign news articles, questioning whether his true allegiance lies there, with a people his faith wants him to believe are cursed and undeserving. The racism of his faith has long taught Shake to keep a bright line between jazz and religion. But in Austria, once his musical gift is discovered, he's recruited by the mission leaders to use it to "lure" people to the church. He resists but finally obeys, playing trumpet in the jazz clubs of Vienna, aware that he's betraying his black heroes in putting the music they invented to an underhanded purpose. The volatile mix of jazz and religion, sparked by a violent and predatory mission companion, ignites an in an explosive night with devastating consequences that end the life he knows, and make him a fugitive from the punishing hand of religious law. More than half his mission - now a dark road he travels with a terrible secret - still lies ahead. His only refuge is an Austrian family whose daughter, an only child, is as eager for a big brother as Shake is for the shelter of her family's love.…
