Last Chance Texaco - Rickie Lee (author) Jones - Bog - Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press - Plusbog.dk

A Book of the Year in Rolling Stone, Uncut, Mojo, The Telegraph and the Glasgow Herald This troubadour life is only for the fiercest hearts, only for those vessels that can be broken to smithereens and still keep beating out the rhythm for a new song. Last Chance Texaco is the first-ever no-holds-barred account of the life of two-time Grammy Award-winner Rickie Lee Jones, in her own words. It is a tale of desperate chances and impossible triumphs, an adventure story of a girl who beat the odds and grew up to become one of the most legendary artists of her time, turning adversity and hopelessness into timeless music.With candour and lyricism, the ''Duchess of Coolsville'' (Time) takes us on a singular journey through her nomadic childhood, to her years as a teenage runaway, through her legendary love affair with Tom Waits, and ultimately her longevity as the hardest working woman in rock and roll. Rickie Lee''s stories are rich with the infamous characters of her early songs - ''Chuck E''s in Love,'' ''Weasel and the White Boys Cool,'' ''Danny''s All-Star Joint'' and ''Easy Money'' - but long before her notoriety in show business, there was a vaudevillian cast of hitchhikers, bank robbers, jail breaks, drug mules, a pimp with a heart of gold, and tales of her fabled ancestors.In this electrifying and intimate memoir by one of the most remarkable, trailblazing and tenacious women in music are never-before-told stories of the girl in the raspberry beret, a singer-songwriter whose music defied categorization and inspired pop culture for decades.

Corrections to My Memoirs - Michael Kun - Bog - M P Publishing Limited - Plusbog.dk

From the author of "The Locklear Letters", this is an irreverent and hilarious story collection about the lives we lead. And the lives we wish we led. In tales filled with off-beat characters, we meet the proud winner of an inter-office e-mail contest; a mysterious, one-armed, Texaco attendant with a penchant for reading car manuals; and, in the title story, a misguided autobiographer with a tendency toward fabrication. With a voice that is both humorous and heart-breaking, Kun reveals the hidden side of human existence and shows us that the difference between what is perceived and what is real is often more significant than we would like to admit.

Creole Folktales - Patrick Chamoiseau - Bog - The New Press - Plusbog.dk

Patrick Chamoiseau first became known to the international literary world with Texaco , the vast and demanding novel that won France''s prestigious Goncourt Prize in 1992. Less well known is the fact that Chamoiseau has written a number of extraordinary books about his childhood in Martinique. One of these, Creole Folktales , recreates in truly magical language the stories he heard as a child. Folktales with a twist, fairy tales with attitude, these stories are told in a language as savory as the spicy food so lovingly evoked within these pages. The urchins, dowagers, ne''er-do-wells, and gluttons in these tales are filled with longing for the simple things in life: a full plate, a safe journey, a good night''s sleep. But their world is haunted, and the material comforts we take for granted are the stuff of dreams for them, for there are always monsters waiting to snatch away their tasty bowl of stew—or even life itself. Some of these monsters are familiar: the wicked hag, the envious neighbor, the deceitful suitor, the devil who gobbles up unwary souls. Others may be surprising, and their casual appearance in these tales makes them all the more frightening—like an unexpected glimpse into a fun-house mirror. But in contrast to these folktales'' more fantastic creations, the white plantation owner and the slave ship''s captain remind us that these are stories of survival in a colonized land. A marvelous introduction to a world, both real and imaginary, that North Americans have ignored for far too long.

The House of Getty - Russell Miller - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

The true story of the Getty family as featured in the TV series Trust and the movie All the Money in the World Boardroom battles, sex, money, drugs, power, crime, tragedy, and family intrigue; at the centre stands the figure of John Paul Getty, the grandfather, an eccentric oil billionaire believed to have been the richest man in the world. Married and divorced five times, he had five sons, and yet was cheated of his dearest ambition—to found an oil dynasty. His angelic youngest son died at age twelve after years of illness. Of the remaining four sons, three proved to be hopeless businessmen and, one by one, dropped out of Getty Oil. Only one had the talent to take the helm of the family business, and he was groomed for the part. And then he killed himself.With his cherished hopes of a family dynasty crushed, John Paul built a magnificent museum as a monument for all time to his success. But money tainted even his philanthropy; the Getty Museum has become feared for its wealth and ability to pillage the art market. In the manoeuvering that followed John Paul''s death, Getty Oil was sold; Texaco acquired it for $9.9 billion, the biggest corporate takeover in history.Award-winning journalist and writer Russell Miller brings us the extraordinary and often disturbing story of a unique American family. From the pioneering days in the Oklahoma oil fields to the bitter struggles over Getty Oil, we follow the rise and fall of three generations, all cursed with the Midas touch.
