In this, Volume I of Publishing Lives, writers, publishers, distributors and booksellers talk about their or profession and what keeps them at it. Among the issues raised are author-publisher relations, the advantages and disadvantages of running a nonprofit press, the impact of superstores and dot.coms on the industry, the balance ( or lack of it) between commerce and art, and the varieties of distribution.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50367010537745,"sku":"CIN0930773616G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0930773616.jpg?v=1751331803"},{"product_id":"prisoners-book-jerome-gold-9780930773533","title":"Prisoners","description":"Prisoners is a collection of short narratives told in different voices, about what holds us captive: war, violence, trauma, history, belief, the fear of death. The narratives are thematically linked. The dominant themes of this compact but insightful book are violence and its effects: the ways in which these effects persist, their replication from generation to generation. Much of this book is told through the voices of gang youth, other parts by veterans of a number of wars. Stylistically indebted to such poets as Louis Simpson, Larry Levis, and Ai, in Prisoners Mr. Gold nevertheless establishes his own territory in terms of both content and tone. The dominant theme - violence - becomes a virus, conveyed down through the generations, or between friends, siblings, or lovers. A whiff of dark humor dances around the macabre and disquieting 'How It Can Happen.' a list of ways people have been known to die. Another acridly funny  piece] is 'Who's Going to Kill Me'. On the whole, Prisoners is intense, evocative, insightful.

Throughout his time there, he kept a journal of his experiences with youths who had been incarcerated for murder, kidnap, assault, rape and other sex offenses, auto theft, burglary, and selling drugs. What started as a journal designed to relieve stress turned into the evocation of one man's nuanced perspective on a unique group of young people. Paranoia \u0026amp; Heartbreak tells Gold's personal story of coming to terms with people who have crossed over to the other side of their own humanity. Writing from ample experience and with unflinching compassion, Gold brings the reader to see these deviants--and through them, in some slanted way, our whole society, with an unexpected intensity.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50383897526545,"sku":"CIN1583228772G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1583228772.jpg?v=1751023446"},{"product_id":"in-the-spider-s-web-book-jerome-gold-9781936364145","title":"In the Spider's Web","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50395713110289,"sku":"CIN193636414XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50395717304593,"sku":"CIN193636414XVG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/193636414X.jpg?v=1751187529"},{"product_id":"children-in-prison-book-jerome-gold-9781476677415","title":"Children in Prison","description":"Almost 330,000 children in America are in prison, in a detention center, on probation or parole, or otherwise under the control of the criminal justice system. In a time of nascent prison reform, these children are often left out of the conversation.     This book chronicles the experiences of six young people in Ash Meadow in Washington State. Written from the perspective of a prison rehabilitation counselor, this book provides a firsthand account of these children's lives during and after their stay.    These accounts show how domestic violence, inequality and poor adult-modeling influence the decisions that children make later in life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52429696270609,"sku":"NLS9781476677415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52946559566097,"sku":"CIN1476677417G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52994909339921,"sku":"CIN1476677417VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781476677415.jpg?v=1759167642"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-jerome-gold.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
