Mail SAMEDAY! ; 153 pages; Publishers Weekly: The narrator of ``I Did That, '' one of the 11 stories in Holman's first collection, aptly describes the numb voyeurism that overtakes many of this Southern writer's characters: ``I was convinced that I could disappear if I was silent. I would walk the most dangerous streets--skim them hushed. I discovered other invisibles... I moved among them. '' In Holman's quirky, tragicomic suburban world, people are poised on the periphery of action and transformed reluctantly into participants in contemporary dramas of racism, crime, desire, love and death. The main character in ``On Earth'' flees his home to avoid witnessing his parents' demise--only to come to terms with his own life amid the drama of a landlady's unforeseen death. In ``The Story of Art History, '' a character's chance encounter with a bum later provides a moment of revelation in a listless, banal existence. Dreams and fantasies merge with the sluggish reality of everyday life, forming a murky realm where personal strength is more often imagined than realized. While Holman's blend of the conscious and unconscious struggles for a balance at times, often he is able to wed fantasy and reality into a delightful, coherent narrative enhanced by carefully crafted images. (May) From Library Jour: Holman's 11 stories deal with the humanity and lively sense of humor evident in the young black Americans who are his characters. In the title story, a young man's career changes drastically, and throughout the reader is inspired by his grasp of reality and upbeat attitude in dealing with his new friends and his new life. Yet Holman is compassionate when dealing with characters who sometimes do not fit society's mold perfectly. In ``Scuff, '' he presents a young adult who is having trouble in school and life--typical of many young adults, except that this character has the added pressure of being black. Also delineated is the heartwarming love given by this troubled teen's sister. This collection is worthy of public and academic libraries for the fresh approach it gives to young black Americans and for exposing barriers that many people may never have to face. --Vicki Cecil, Johnson Cty. Lib. , Greenwood, Ind. From Margot Mifflin - The New York Times Book Rev: {The author is} a former student of Raymond Carver and Frederick Barthelme. The tales in this first collection are plotless, unresolved vignettesof dislocated youth, bogged down by descriptions of clothes and surroundings and held static by Mr. Holman's insistence on his characters' existential impotence. And yet a jewel is buried in this lusterless mine: 'Yard Lights, Water, and Wink. '. Mr. Holman conjures up {a} jagged family portrait with an ease that is absent from his other stories; it's as if for a moment he's stopped echoing his teachers' voices and found his own. This voice--one of mystery, faith, and purpose--would be a pleasure to hear from again. #From Choice: Much of the power of Holman's stories stems from his ability to defamiliarize the commonplace, to infuse into the ordinary tenor of everyday life the jarring hints of repressed nightmares. He blends the grotesque and the graceful with such imaginative restraint that he manages to recreate the peculiar textures and emotional contours of southern life. Each story is a gem fashioned in a deceptively simple style that reminds the reader of Hemingway at his elegant best. ., Ticknor & Fields, 1990, 0<

Cambridge University Press/ Zubaan, 2010. Hardcover. New. When Thangjam Manorama was arrested and killed by the Assam Rifles in July 2004 in Manipur, it unleashed a protest likes of which no one had witnessed before. This was one of the triggers for this collection - to provide a space for women and men from the `Northeast` to tell us about the issues that confronted them daily, to talk about the pressures, the insecurities, the uncertainties confronting them in an area that has been facing low intensity warfare for decades. The anger and the frustrations of the Manipuri women who staged that dramatic protest after Manorama`s killing have in many ways been vindicated. Each essay in this book brings to mind that troubling image, each contributor points to the Manipuri women, holding them up as a flag of rebellion, of protest, of questioning. Each essay questions issues of nation, identity, of what makes the people of the Northeast so alienated from the `mainstream`. Many contributors are writers, academics or activists from the Northeast but there are many, like the editor, `outsiders`. But `outsiders` who share a passion for the region and an intense desire to see change, to see peace. Contents Introduction Engaging with the Northeast: The ‘outsider’ looks ‘in’ 1.

For the first time a top manager talks about the corruption in the game, the backhanders, the illegal payments and the Cup Final tickets that find their way onto the black market.Terry Neill also describes the dramas off the field - fisticuffs in the changing rooms and conflicts in the boardroom - and discusses the problems of handling modern players, which include gambling, drink and greed.Perhaps the biggest off-field drama is Terry Neill's own sacking, an amazing story which has never been told before.On-field dramas include the great games, the triumphs and the disasters, managing Arsenal through four Cup Finals in five years. Terry Neill tells of his own experience in the transfer market, of the frantic pursuit, sometimes successful, sometimes not, of star players like Maradona, Platini, Cruyff and Nicholas, and he explains why the top clubs have to pay such huge sums in wages and transfer fees.Until now Terry Neill has kept silent about the main aspects of his own career, but here he reveals all in a book about soccer like no other yet published.See also rja382..

FROM THE PUBLISHER - The narrator of ‘I Did That,’ one of the 11 stories in Holman’s first collection, aptly describes the numb voyeurism that overtakes many of this Southern writer’s characters: ‘I was convinced that I could disappear if I was silent. I would walk the most dangerous streets—skim them hushed. I discovered other invisibles. I moved among them.’ In Holman’s quirky, tragicomic suburban world, people are poised on the periphery of action and transformed reluctantly into participants in contemporary dramas of racism, crime, desire, love and death. The main character in ‘On Earth’ flees his home to avoid witnessing his parents’ demise—only to come to terms with his own life amid the drama of a landlady’s unforeseen death. In ‘The Story of Art History,’ a character’s chance encounter with a bum later provides a moment of revelation in a listless, banal existence. Dreams and fantasies merge with the sluggish reality of everyday life, forming a murky realm where personal strength is more often imagined than realized. While Holman’s blend of the conscious and unconscious struggles for a balance at times, often he is able to wed fantasy and reality into a delightful, coherent narrative enhanced by carefully crafted images. - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY. .

(May) From Library Jour: Holman's 11 stories deal with the humanity and lively sense of humor evident in the young black Americans who are his characters. In the title story, a young man's career changes drastically, and throughout the reader is inspired by his grasp of reality and upbeat attitude in dealing with his new friends and his new life. Yet Holman is compassionate when dealing with characters who sometimes do not fit society's mold perfectly. In ``Scuff, '' he presents a young adult who is having trouble in school and life--typical of many young adults, except that this character has the added pressure of being black. Also delineated is the heartwarming love given by this troubled teen's sister. This collection is worthy of public and academic libraries for the fresh approach it gives to young black Americans and for exposing barriers that many people may never have to face. --Vicki Cecil, Johnson Cty. Lib. , Greenwood, Ind. From Margot Mifflin - The New York Times Book Rev: {The author is} a former student of Raymond Carver and Frederick Barthelme. The tales in this first collection are plotless, unresolved vignettesof dislocated youth, bogged down by descriptions of clothes and surroundings and held static by Mr. Holman's insistence on his characters' existential impotence. And yet a jewel is buried in this lusterless mine: 'Yard Lights, Water, and Wink. '. Mr. Holman conjures up {a} jagged family portrait with an ease that is absent from his other stories; it's as if for a moment he's stopped echoing his teachers' voices and found his own. This voice--one of mystery, faith, and purpose--would be a pleasure to hear from again. #From Choice: Much of the power of Holman's stories stems from his ability to defamiliarize the commonplace, to infuse into the ordinary tenor of everyday life the jarring hints of repressed nightmares. He blends the grotesque and the graceful with such imaginative restraint that he manages to recreate the peculiar textures and emotional contours of southern life. Each story is a gem fashioned in a deceptively simple style that reminds the reader of Hemingway at his elegant best. ., Ticknor & Fields, 1990, 0<
