Описание: One of The Millions and BuzzFeed's Most Anticipated Books

A spectacularly inventive debut novel that reinvents the tall tale for our times--"Cuyahoga defies all modest description... it] is ten feet tall if it's an inch, and it's a ramshackle joy from start to finish" (Brian Phillips, author of Impossible Owls).

Big Son is a spirit of the times--the times being 1837. Behind his broad shoulders, shiny hair, and church-organ laugh, Big Son practically made Ohio City all by himself. The feats of this proto-superhero have earned him wonder and whiskey toasts but very little in the way of fortune. And without money, Big cannot become an honest husband to his beloved Cloe (who may or may not want to be his wife, honestly).

In pursuit of a steady wage, our hero hits the (dirt) streets of Ohio City and Cleveland, the twin towns racing to become the first great metropolis of the West. Their rivalry reaches a boil over the building of a bridge across the Cuyahoga River--and Big stumbles right into the kettle. The resulting misadventures involve elderly terrorists, infrastructure collapse, steamboat races, wild pigs, and multiple ruined weddings.

Narrating this "deliriously fun" (Brian Phillips) tale is Medium Son--known as Meed--apprentice coffin maker, almanac author, orphan, and the younger brother of Big. Meed finds himself swept up in the action, and he is forced to choose between brotherly love and his own ambitions. His uncanny voice--plain but profound, colloquial but surprisingly poetic--elevates a slapstick frontier tale into a screwball origin myth for the Rust Belt.

In Cuyahoga, tragedy and farce jumble together in a riotously original voice. Evoking the Greek classics and the Bible alongside nods to Looney Tunes, Charles Portis, and Flannery O'Connor, Pete Beatty has written a rollicking revisionist (mid)Western with universal themes of family and fate--an old, weird America that feels brand new.

Описание:

This book is less a comprehensive collection of African-American humor than a mix-tape narrative dubbed by a trusted friend-a sampler of underground classics, rare grooves, and timeless summer jams, poetry and prose juxtaposed with the blues, hip-hop, political speeches, and the world`s funniest radio sermon. The subtle musings of Toni Cade Bambara, Henry Dumas, and Harryette Mullen are bracketed by the profane and often loud ruminations of Langston Hughes, Darius James, Wanda Coleman, Tish Benson, Steve Cannon, and Hattie Gossett. Some of the funniest writers don`t write, so included are selections from well-known yet unpublished wits Lightnin` Hopkins, Mike Tyson, and the Reverend Al Sharpton. Selections also come from public figures and authors whose humor, although incisive and profound, is often overlooked: Malcolm X, Suzan-Lori Parks, Zora Neale Hurston, Sojourner Truth, and W.E.B. Dubois.

Описание: Mastering the instructions in this book will take an aspiring fly tier from total novice to advanced amateur in just a few short pages. The early chapters provide the reader with a solid understanding of the tools, techniques, and materials to construct seven foundation fly patterns. What is a foundation pattern? It is a fly that not only teaches an important fly-tying skill but also provides a basis from which to build an exciting fly box of patterns attractive to the angler and the fish alike. For example: The Hare's Ear Nymph is a pattern that with a little adaptation and ingenuity will satisfy 80 percent of any fly fishers nymph fishing needs. All the tier needs to do is change colors and materials to fit a wide variety of fishing situations. The seven foundation patterns include the Woolly Worm, Gray Hackle Yellow, Montana Nymph, Hare's Ear Nymph, Post Wing Mayfly, Elk Hair Caddis, and the Marabou Streamer. The skills learned on each fly are used again on the next along with a new technique. Building skills upon skills is the backbone of this book AND for a successful fly tying career. The Beatty's have more than 100 years of fly tying experience and thousands of skilled students to their credit. Why not join the group and learn to tie flies the easy way? The Beatty way
