Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In William Hart's Never Fade Away an English Department offers writing courses that jettison from school immigrant and minority students who can't meet the department's narrow standards of competency. The students have entrance-level SAT scores, but they're disappearing in droves through the trap-door of their introductory English classes. An untenured and unruly instructor refuses to cooperate when the Department fails one of his students, a Vietnamese math major with a genius for storytelling. The teacher manages to keep the woman in school, but is fired for his defiance. To fight back he files a grievance, which mushrooms into a public hearing. From day one interested students cram the auditorium. The story in Never Fade Away is told through alternating entries from two journals. One is kept by the teacher, a Vietnam vet and novelist; the other by the student he defends, a refugee from South Vietnam devoted to her studies, to Buddhism, and to her family--alive only as ghosts. Privy to the pair's intimate thoughts, we watch a deep symbiotic friendship develop. Their involvement reaches a crux at the hearing, when their relationship is painted as a romance, and teacher and student are forced to examine the basis of their friendship.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Wild, funny, touching and full of crackling dialogue, Robert Garner McBrearty's stories turn the intensity of real life up a notch: -- A soap opera star turns a set into a real-life melodrama.-- A reformed drinking, whoring, foulmouthed horsethief and bank robber achieves New Age enlightenment.-- A hot spring oasis is the source of a man's newfound sanity -- or is it insanity?In McBrearty's talented hands, this exaggerated reality makes life seem much more hilarious and heartbreakingly real. Previously published in distinguished literary magazines, these stories are about people caught at the moment of life change. Each compelling character struggles with major issues: the struggle to hold down two jobs, hold on to love, keep a grip on reality. And then there's the toughest tussle of all -- the choice to be a responsible citizen or a heroic hellraiser who runs with the bulls.Written with wit and true grit, McBrearty's stories take readers from the city to the open country, from Texas to California. What readers adore most about McBrearty's stories is that, no matter where they are set, real people live there -- out loud.…
