Read how a road trip across the Keys of Florida, to the southern-most tip of the United States, cultimates in an explosive sprinkle of sharp snap-shots and personal mishaps that will make you smirk and want to pack your bags. The North American continent is fraying out along its edges like a carpet and I’m leaping over an array of tiny islets. Land is no longer solid, is dissolving, and the intensity of the light stings me in the eye till it hurts. Everything is sureal and I’m dizzy with excitement. [mehr]

Plötzlich löst sich das Land förmlich unter mir auf und ich fahre über eine Brücke nach der anderen über die Ersten einer Reihe von winzigen leuchtenden grünen Inseln. Das Fahrzeug hüpft förmlich über sie hinweg und ich weiß, dass ich den Teil der Straße erreicht habe, der auch Overseas Highway genannt wird. Die Sonne blinzelt durch die Wolken, bricht sie auf, und die smaragdgrünen Sträucher scheinen in der flimmernden Hitze des Tages im türkisfarbenen Wasser zu schweben. Der nordamerikanische Kontinent ist zu einem Teppich geworden, der an seinen Rändern ausfranst. Gleichzeitig sticht mir das Lichts fast die Augen aus und mir wird schwindlig. Mein Abenteuer kann beginnen. [mehr]

It's the late sixties in St. Louis, Missouri and four little boys come across a strange package in an abandoned building in the middle of Carr Square, a low-income housing complex right next to Pruitt-Igoe, the giant new housing project. Opening that package sets off a ticking time bomb for the two communities that could lead to a war if Michael, Tim, Tony, and Stevie can't stop the wheels that have been set in motion by an unknown force. Set in obscurity next to the historical Pruitt-Igoe Housing Project, Carr Square fights for its survival in an ever-crowded urban renewal, and the boys of Carr Square match wits against the worst gangster in the midwest.

Washington Square is a short novel by Henry James. It is a structurally simple tragicomedy that recounts the conflict between a dull but sweet daughter and her brilliant, unemotional father. The plot of the novel is based upon a true story told to James by his close friend, British actress Fanny Kemble. The book is often compared with Jane Austen's work for the clarity and grace of its prose and its intense focus on family relationships. The bitterest irony in the story is that Dr. Sloper, a brilliant and successful physician, is exactly right about Morris Townsend, and yet he is cruel to his defenseless and loving daughter. If the doctor had been incorrect in his appraisal of the worthless Townsend, he would be only a stock villain. As it is, the doctor's head functions perfectly but his heart has grown cold after the death of his beautiful and gifted wife. Catherine gradually grows throughout the story, ultimately gaining the ability to judge her situation accurately. As James puts it: "From her point of view the great facts of her career were that Morris Townsend had trifled with her affection, and that her father had broken its spring. Nothing could ever alter these facts; they were always there, like her name, her age, her plain face. Nothing could ever undo the wrong or cure the pain that Morris had inflicted on her, and nothing could ever make her feel towards her father as she felt in her younger years." Catherine will never be brilliant, but she learns to be clear-sighted. [mehr]
