Greyhound - Joanna Pocock - Bog - Fitzcarraldo Editions - Plusbog.dk

Greyhound - Joanna Pocock - Bog - Fitzcarraldo Editions - Plusbog.dk

In 2006, in the wake of several miscarriages, Joanna Pocock travelled by Greyhound bus across the US from Detroit to Los Angeles. Seventeen years later, now in her 50s, she undertakes the same journey, revisiting the same cities, edgelands, highways and motels in the footsteps of the few women writers – Simone de Beauvoir, Ethel Mannin and Irma Kurtz – who chronicled their own road trips across the US. In Greyhound , Pocock explores the overlap of place and memory, the individual with the communal, and the privatization of public space as she navigates two very different landscapes – an earlier, less atomized America, and a current one mired in inequality, as it teeters on the brink of environmental catastrophe. Her focus is on the built-upon environment: the rivers of tarmac, the illuminated gas stations, the sprawling suburbs and the sites of extraction created specifically to fuel contemporary life. Combining memoir, reportage, environmental writing and literary criticism, Greyhound is a moving and immersive book that captures an America in the throes of late capitalism with all its beauty, horror and complexity.

Dorian Greyhound - Sheryl Longin - Bog - ibooks Inc - Plusbog.dk

Dorian Greyhound - Sheryl Longin - Bog - ibooks Inc - Plusbog.dk

Straight from the canine''s mouth comes this truly Wilde narrative of the life and times of Dorian Greyhound. From his lowly origins and brutish upbringing to his well-deserved position as cherished family member, this self-made dog marks a lot of territory, though he would blush (if he could) to admit it. With a dry wit and as much candour as his old-school manners allow, he recounts his physically and emotionally harrowing journey from an Arizona race track to his Hollywood Hills mansion. His tale has something to offer us all.

Man Buys Dog - David Matthews - Bog - Headline Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

David Matthews, author of the critically acclaimed LOOKING FOR A FIGHT, needed a fresh challenge after he had recovered from being a professional boxer. Drawn to the slightly shady appeal of greyhound racing, and not averse to making some easy money, he decided to learn the tricks of the trade from the inside and buy a greyhound. Unfortunately Zussies Boy, aka Kevin, turned out to be something of a dud, and Matthews soon found out the hard way that in the world of greyhound racing there is only one winner - the hare.
