It had come to this: breastfeeding her screaming three-month-old while sitting on the cigarette-scarred floor of a union hall, lying to her husband so she could attend yet another activist meeting, and otherwise actively self-destructing. Then Sonya Huber turned to her long-dead grandfather, the family nobody, for help. Huber s search for meaning and resonance in the life of her grandfather Heina Buschman was unusual insofar as she knew him only through dismissive family stories: He let his wife die of neglect . . . he used his infant son as a decoy when transporting anti-Nazi literature in a baby carriage . . . and so the stories went. What she actually discovered was that, like his granddaughter, Heina Buschman was a committed and beleaguered activist whose story echoed her own. Huber s research not only conjured her grandfather s voice in answer to many of the questions that troubled her but also found in his story a source of personal sustenance for herself. Based on extensive research and documentation, this story of Heina Buschman offers a rare look into the heart of the average socialist trying to survive the Nazis and rebuild a broken world. Alternating with his voice is Huber s own, providing a rich and moving counterpoint that makes this deeply personal exploration of family, politics, and individual responsibility a story for all of us and for all time.

If you are looking for terrifying tales that will have you waking up screaming from nightmares; keep looking. I’m not Stephen King, I’m just a kindly old grandfather who doesn’t dabble much in the macabre. But, if you want interesting stories which are entertaining and engaging, read on. These stories are about people interacting with other people but in these stories the people also happen to be; vampires, witches, werewolves, angels, demons and a monster I invented for this collection of stories called a slurker. What do you do if you are becoming a monster? Do you embrace it like Theo and Dustin or resist it like LaRue? What do you do if you encounter a monster? Do you attack like Miss Grant or negotiate like Father O’Shea? Maybe you would call in outside help like Scoop, Zack and Timmy did. Find out how the characters in my stories handled their monsters in these seven stories. Happy reading, Opa Don

A collection of essays, poems, plays and stories (1980-2004) by Jack Cook. The Owego years. The story of a forty year old anti-war activist, who settles down in upstate New York, with wife and child, and responds, as his muse allows, to domestic joys and international woes--a microcosm of our reeling plant--in the unending effort to unite humankind, in the aftermath of over a century of wars, and while embroiled in still another. Jack Cook was born in Brooklyn, NY, in 1940 and was educated at King's College and Cornell University. He has taught in grade and high school, college, university, and in prison. In 1968 he was convicted of Refusal of Induction and sentenced to three years in Federal Prison. After two years, he was released by order of the Supreme Court. He is the author of Rags of Time: A Season in Prison (Beacon, 1972); The Face of Falsehood (Anthoenson, 1986); and Bowery Blues: A Tribute to Dorothy Day (Xlibris, 2001). He currently lives with his family in upstate New York.

The funny man is a middling comic in an unnamed city. By day he takes care of his infant son, by night he performs in small clubs. His wife waits tables to support the family. It doesn't sound like much, but they're happy (more or less) - until the day he comes up with his magic gimmick. And what is it? He performs his set with his fist in his mouth. Jokes, impressions, commercials - all take place with his fist wrist-deep in his mouth. People are crazy for him, but he's tired of it. This brilliant debut documents one man's slide from everyman to monster.
