Walking Through Clear Water In a Pool Painted Black - Cookie Mueller - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

Walking Through Clear Water In a Pool Painted Black - Cookie Mueller - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

Walking Through Clear Water in a Pool Painted Black is the only story collection from the legendary writer, actress, ex-biker and columnist Cookie Mueller, published in the UK for the first time.Mueller chronicles her high-risk, high-reward life in glorious technicolour, from becoming a part of John Waters'' legendary acting troupe to becoming a mother, from describing the hedonism of 1980s New York to critiquing the government''s dire response to the AIDS epidemic. Cookie''s voice is fresh, wise, freewheeling and unafraid of darkness. Like a lysergic Nora Ephron, she is the candid flipside to the idealistic hippie dream. Whether good, bad or ugly, her stories are fiercely entertaining and reliably honest.Featuring a new introduction by Olivia Laing, this edition collects Mueller''s stories, columns and writings, and presents a testament to a life lived courageously and well.

The Secret History of Here - Alistair Moffat - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

The Secret History of Here is the story of a single place, a farm in the Scottish Borders. The site on which Alistair Moffat''s farm now stands has been occupied since pre-historic times. The fields have turned up ancient arrow heads, stone spindles, silver pennies and a stone carved with the rune-like letters of Ogham. Walking this landscape you can feel the presence and see the marks of those who lived here before.But it is also the story of everywhere. In uncovering the history of one piece of land, Moffat shows how history is all around us, if only we have the eyes to see it. Under our feet, carved into the landscape, in the layout of paths and roads, in the stories we pass down, our history leaves its trace on the land.Taking the form of a journal of a year, The Secret History of Here is a walk through the centuries as much as the seasons. We hear the echo of battles long since fought, of lives lived quietly or scandalously, of armies, of kings, of the common folk who mostly inhabited this land, and a little of those that live here now.
