Memoir Anger

Born to a violently dysfunctional home in working-class Denmark, Lisbeth Zornig Andersen and her three older brothers were bounced between foster care and state-run institutions, then back again to their chemically dependent mother and sadistic stepfather. For Lisbeth, it was a childhood without perimeters. It was blighted by poverty, sexual abuse, neglect, betrayal, and further victimization by the broken Danish social services system that forced Lisbeth to live where and how it saw fit.

The '90s was the decade when British culture reclaimed its position at the artistic centre of the world. Not since the 'Swinging Sixties' had art, comedy, fashion, film, football, literature and music interwoven into a blooming of national self-confidence. It was the decade of Lad Culture and Girl Power, of Blur vs Oasis. When fashion runways shone with British talent, Young British Artists became household names, football was 'coming home' and British film went worldwide.

In 2018, Joe Hammond, wrote a piece for the Guardian about the 33 birthday cards he was writing for his two sons. It was shared by thousands. In A Short History of Falling he tells the story behind that piece, about the experience of living with - and dying of - motor neurone disease (ALS). A Short History of Falling is not a lament. It is a deeply imaginative meditation on what it feels like to confront the fact that your family will persist through time without you.

A tour de force of storytelling years in the making: a dual biography of two of the greatest songwriters, Bob Dylan and Woody Guthrie, that is also a murder mystery and a history of labor relations and socialism, big business and greed in 20th-century America - woven together in one epic saga that holds meaning for all working Americans today.

"Jag ångrar ingenting". Uttalandet är Gustaf Ekströms och görs i en intervju med SVT år 1993. Han förnekar även förintelsen. Fem år tidigare har han varit med och grundat partiet Sverigedemokraterna. Men vad gjorde Ekström innan dess? Med hjälp av tjugo olika arkiv runt om i världen har författarna till "Utan ånger" kartlagt Gustaf Ekströms liv - ett liv som i stort ägnades åt nazismen. Efter flera års medlemskap i Sveriges fascistiska kamporganisation tog Ekström år 1941 steget till att bli frivillig i Waffen-SS.

A heartwarming debut memoir about finding meaning in the face of loss. Garrison is a proficient writer with an inspiring story, but his self-awareness and insight into disability give weight to his memoir. His sly sense of humor, meanwhile, provides a good balance to his heavier material.

From the pulpit to the parking lot, anger has become a debilitating cancer to the souls of Christians. A cancer that stunts the spiritual maturation and matriculation of Christians every day. However, the Bible still suggests that Christians possess the ability to be angry and do no harm. I then propose that anger is not the problem. Rather, it is our learned response to anger and untreated emotions that lead to challenges in life and the sin that may follow. This begs the questions, what is anger, what is its origin, and how do we manage it?

After the death of her partner of 32 years, Lisa Appignanesi was thrust into a state striated by rage and superstition in which sanity felt elusive. The dead of prior generations loomed large and haunting. Then, too, the cultural and political moment seemed to collude with her condition: everywhere people were dislocated and angry. In this electrifying and brave examination of an ordinary enough death and its aftermath, Appignanesi uses all her evocative and analytic powers to scrutinize her own and our society’s experience of grieving, the effects of loss and the potent, mythical space it occupies in our lives.

Everyone has the right to choose, but no one gets to choose the consequences. Sometimes we are unfairly forced to live with the consequences of another person’s actions when facing abuse and domestic violence. Further complications come when the abuser is someone we love. Fortunately, hope and choices are always present for those who look for them.
