Conversations with God: An Uncommon Dialogue: Book 3, Volume 3, Hörbuch, Digital, 207min
The dialogue expands.... Conversations with God, Book 3 is the final book of the original three-book series. As was written in the introduction to Book 1, it deals with “universal truths to the highest order, and the challenges and opportunities of the soul.” In Book 3, the dialogue expands to include more about the nature of God, about love and fear, about who we are and who we may become, and about the evolution of the human species that is about to take its place in the universal neighborhood. Here is a profound dialogue about the culture, philosophy, and spirituality of highly evolved beings (some of whom we presently call “aliens” or “ETs”) in other realms of the universe, and how they have learned to view life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. By reading this book, you will begin to see life in a different way and begin to question the truth of what you have known on this planet: “And so I end this dialogue as it began. As with life itself, it comes full circle. You have been given truth here. You have been given joy. You have been given love. You have been given here the answers to the largest mysteries of life. There is now only one question remaining. It is the question with which we began. The question is not, to whom do I talk, but who listens?” Language: English.

Brachland
Auf den ersten Blick scheint "Brachland" an Boyles Debüt "Gravesend" anzuknüpfen, in dem er vonden Auswirkungen eines Verbrechens in Brooklyn erzählt. Diesmal handelt es sich um den Mord aneinem Spieler, der dem Maoso Tony Ficalora Geld schuldet. Der Polizist Donnie soll den Rückstandfür ihn eintreiben. Doch Donnies leicht aufbrausendes Temperament wurde vor kurzem durch denSelbstmord seines Sohnes völlig hemmungslos. Donnie wirft den Spieler von einer Brücke.Zwei Jahre später wird er aus dem Polizeidienst entlassen, weil er einen Vorgesetzten geschlagenhat, und arbeitet von da an für Tony Ficalora. Der Sohn des Opfers, Mikey Baldini, hat das Collegeabgebrochen und ist zu seiner Mutter zurückgekehrt, die Schwierigkeiten hat, die Schulden ihresMannes zu bezahlen. Tommy schlägt Mikey vor, für ihn als Eintreiber zu arbeiten, um die Schuldenschneller zu tilgen.Es geht um zwei Generationen, die ihr Leben gefangen zwischen Sackgassen und skurrilen Fluchtversuchenverbringen. William Boyle erweckt in "Brachland" eine traurige, komische und brutaleHonung. Er selbst nennt es "Technicolor noir".» Pressestimmen"In seinem vierten Roman seit seinem umwerfenden Debüt 'Gravesend' ist dergroßartig talentierte Boyle immer noch in dem Viertel von Brooklyn, in dem eraufgewachsen ist. Er kennt die Musik der italo-amerikanischen Stimmen, vonPunk über Barhocker bis hin zu Opern, wie kein anderer: Maa-Gangster,College-Abbrecher, melancholische Witwen und rosahaarige Rocker mischensich in dieser köstlich verworrenen Geschichte, die sich wie eine neue Staelder Sopranos liest."Washington Post"Stellen Sie sich vor, Martin Scorsese und David O. Russell arbeiten mit GenaRowlands und Ellen Burstyn zusammen und zaubern ein Meisterwerk"Megan Abbott"Boyle untersucht Donnie und seine Nachbarn mit einer Mischung aus Zuneigungund Verzweiung, die eines Bruce Springsteen-Songs würdig ist."Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review- Shop: buecher

"Thank you to Sheila Nevins for putting all this down for posterity.

Sheila Nevins is the one person who always tells it like it is. In You Don't Look Your Age, the famed documentary producer (as President of HBO Documentary Films for over 30 years, Nevins has rightfully been credited with creating the documentary rebirth) finally steps out from behind the camera and takes her place front and center.
