Download Philadelphia Fire Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
One of John Wideman’s most ambitious and celebrated works, the lyrical masterpiece and PEN/Faulkner winner inspired by the 1985 police bombing of the West Philadelphia row house owned by black liberation group Move. In 1985, police bombed a West Philadelphia row house owned by the Afrocentric cult known as Move, killing eleven people and starting a fire that destroyed sixty other houses. At the heart of Philadelphia Fire is Cudjoe, a writer and exile who returns to his old neighborhood after spending a decade fleeing from his past, and who becomes obsessed with the search for a lone survivor of the event: a young boy seen running from the flames. Award-winning author John Edgar Wideman brings these events and their repercussions to shocking life in this seminal novel. “Reminiscent of Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man” (Time) and Norman Mailer’s The Executioner’s Song, Philadelphia Fire is a masterful, culturally significant work that takes on a major historical event and takes us on a brutally honest journey through the despair and horror of life in urban America.

These stories and essays, for the most part, take place in the city of Philadelphia. Taken together, they paint the portrait of a young scholar trying to find his way in the big city. From the halls of academe through his transition into the "real world," the stories chart his progress, his love life, his triumphs and his failures as he tries to find within himself who he is and where he belongs on this planet. Just because most of the characters are still in their twenties doesn't mean the stories should be labeled coming-of-age stories. Most of the stories have no moral, and there are more questions than answers to be garnered from most of them. Finally, not all the stories are uplifting, but at least they are honest and may offer some insight into this perplexing world of which we are all a part.

Download The Short Stories of Philadelphia Joe Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
This new collection of short stories by Joe MacDougall brings the underside of Philadelphia to life through rich and raunchy dialogue and creates a canvas full of characters that become three dimensional and exciting all of the senses. Each story is a different take on what it means to be a Philadelphian: tough, with that in-your-face attitude served up with a cheese steak and beer. MacDougall carries us into the seamy side and has us swim in the slime without guilt or remorse. We are voyeurs witnessing their lives and are happy to vicariously succumb to our dark side for just a little while. We all know these people, and MacDougall leads us to the realization that they have always been around, and always will be.
