In the land of believers : a journey to the heart of evangelical America / by Welch, Gina.(CARDINAL)497519;

She saw everything around her ironically, treated the South ?as a joke? and her time there ?as a kind of elaborate performance art project.? Then something miraculous happened. The jaded Californian began to like Virginia. She?d arrived to a Virginia on the verge of a demographic shift as a new, progressive population burgeoned. But she also grew to like the Old South?its manners, easygoing nature, and friendliness. She got serious, cast aside her cynicism, and sought to know her evangelical neighbors ?as people.? Why did they think as they did? Why were they so determined ?to convert non-Christian America?? She went ?undercover? to attend Falwell?s church. The resultant portrayal of evangelicals as she sees them and of how she transcended the popular media caricatures of them constitute an insightful, frequently funny book. --June Sawyers

The bold world : a memoir of family and transformation / by Patterson, Jodie,1970-author.(CARDINAL)783835;

Roots -- The women -- Serious daring -- She -- Santa Claus is a black man -- Resurrection -- As it were -- Faith is karma. Karma is faith -- Penelope -- Tunnel vision -- The room -- Ten thousand hours -- Shifting -- What breaks -- I, woman (The South, revisited) -- This body. This boy. This magic -- The highest vibration -- The widest sense of we -- The lab -- Passing -- A boy named Penelope -- The loss and the gain -- This spot."Jodie Patterson is the mother of five children, including her ten-year-old transgender son Penelope, the catalyst for the author's reexamination of identity within her own dynamic household--and the wider world. This inspiring and highly personal debut memoir goes on to examine Jodie's extended families' African American experiences with racism and civil rights, and her own coming of age in New York City in the 1970s and 80s, and later on as a wife, mother, and activist. With a novelist's sense of artful structure and pacing, Jodie turns her lens on a range of subjects--from the women who raised her and provided strength and comfort, all the while going against cultural norms and gender expectations, to her own children, who acted as a vehicle for Jodie's own growth and ultimately her acceptance of her very diverse family. The result is an exquisite study in transformation, identity, courage, and love"--

Babe in the woods : or, the art of getting lost / by Heffernan, Julie,1956-author,artist.(CARDINAL)897550;

From acclaimed painter Julie Heffernan, a wholly original and visually stunning four-color graphic work of autofiction about a young mother who -- lost overnight on a hike with her infant son -- experiences an extraordinary journey of memory, remorse, and rebirth that offers her a new way of seeing the world; for readers of Alison Bechdel, Roz Chast, and Marjane Satrapi. One summer day, a young artist with a newborn -- sleep-deprived, desperate to escape her hot, cramped apartment and her oblivious husband -- sets off on a hike in the country with her baby boy, Sam, strapped to her front and her senses fully attuned to the colors, the sounds, and the flora and fauna in the woods around her. During her journey, Julie reflects on her childhood, her parents, her marriage, and her path to becoming a painter. Her memories soon merge with the imaginative pictorial worlds she invents in her work, creating a glorious and perturbing narrative. When Julie suddenly realizes that they are lost, with few supplies, as darkness begins to set in, she must come to terms with the sudden gravity of her situation and invent tools for coping. She then discovers her own resourcefulness: snacking on wild garlic and fixing a torn shoe; tucking herself and her baby into a cave for the night; climbing a tall tree for a better vantage point. Each step in the unknown terrain of the forest leads her deeper into a reckoning with survival and unresolved past issues. She invokes the struggles of painters like Artemesia Gentileschi, women's strength in Rubens' Rape of the Daughters of Leucippus, and the plights of activists like Julia Butterfly Hill, illuminating how great art can be a vehicle for perspective -- how it teaches us how to see, think, and navigate obstacles and wonders and find one's way out into a capacious and self-determined life. Beautifully told and illustrated by an established fine painter whose work has been collected around the world, Julie Heffernan's Babe in the Woods is an extraordinary journey of memory, remorse, and rebirth, and a powerful lesson in trust in one's self, offering a new way of seeing for anyone who feels lost in the world.

Everywhere an oink oink : an embittered, dyspeptic, and accurate report of forty years in Hollywood / by Mamet, David,author.(CARDINAL)135137;

Prologue: forty years in a harem -- Speed-the-plow -- The little engine and the factory ship -- Mother Earth -- Out in the Styx -- To build a fire -- Leda & the swan, or the impossible dream -- Early films -- Hats and shoes -- Gossip -- The form persists -- Curious survivals -- The Frank Sinatra story -- High & low -- Villains and sexual abuse at the Golden Globes -- Joe and Don -- Colleagues and swine -- Just one damn thing after another -- A dinosaur -- Tools -- Destroyed by tobacco -- The trauma in the boathouse -- Lime rock -- Temper and gags -- Poodvecker -- Gifts -- How Max Factor became pregnant -- Things change -- An appreciation of the state of play -- The cards -- A two-sided coin -- The centipeep -- Singing in the shower -- Hoffa -- Courage and hypocrisy -- History -- The flocky -- Backwash -- L'envoi."Award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and director David Mamet shares scandalous and laugh-out-loud tales from his four decades in Hollywood where he worked with some of the biggest names in movies. David Mamet went to Hollywood on top-a super successful playwright summoned west in 1980 to write a vehicle for Jack Nicholson. He arrived just in time to meet the luminaries of old Hollywood and revel in the friendship of giants like Paul Newman, Mike Nichols, Bob Evans, and Sue Mengers. Over the next forty years, Mamet wrote dozens of scripts, was fired off dozens of movies, and directed eleven himself. In Everywhere an Oink Oink, he revels of the taut and gag-filled professionalism of the film set. He depicts the ever-fickle studios and producers who piece by piece eat the artist alive. And he ponders the art of filmmaking and the genius of those who made our finest movies. With the bravado and flair of Mamet's best theatrical work, this memoir describes a world gone by, some of our most beloved film stars with their hair down, and how it all got washed away by digital media and the woke brigade. The book is illustrated throughout with three-dozen of Mamet's pungent cartoons and caricatures"--Includes bibliographical references and index.
