Immediate and compelling, this one deserves a place on the shelf next to Trainspotting or The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test” (Cleaver Magazine). In small-town suburban Australia, three young men from three different ethnic backgrounds—one Samoan, one Macedonian, one not sure—are ready to make their mark. Solomon is all charisma, authority, and charm; a failed basketball player down for the moment but surely not out. His half-brother, Jimmy, bounces along in his wake, underestimated, waiting for his chance to announce himself. Aleks, their childhood friend, loves his mates, his family, and his homeland and would do anything for them. The question is, does he know where to draw the line? Solomon, Jimmy, and Aleks are way out on the fringe of Australia, looking for a way in. Hip hop, basketball, and graffiti give them a voice. Booze, women, and violence pass the time while they wait for their chance. Under the oppressive summer sun, their town has turned tinder-dry. All it will take is a spark. As the surrounding hills roar with flames, change storms in. But it’s not what they were waiting for. It never is. “This stunning novel has such swaggering exuberance that it will make most other fiction you read this year seem criminally dull. You have been warned.” —Irvine Welsh, author of Trainspotting “With compassion and urgency, Here Come the Dogs excavates the pain of those who struggle to remain part of a ruthless equation that has been determined by others.” —Los Angeles Times “A bravado novel about survival and rebirth in a subculture that moves to its own rhythms.” —Kirkus Reviews

In small town suburbia, three young men are ready to make their mark. Solomon is all charisma, authority and charm, down for the moment but surely not out. His half-brother, Jimmy, bounces along in his wake, underestimated, waiting for his chance to announce himself. Aleks, their childhood friend, loves his mates, his family and his homeland, and would do anything for them. The question is, does he know where to draw the line? Solomon, Jimmy and Aleks: way out on the fringe of Australia, looking for a way in. Hip hop and graffiti give them a voice. Booze, women and violence pass the time while they wait for their chance. Under the oppressive summer sun, their town has turned tinder-dry. All it'll take is a spark. As the surrounding hills roar with flames, the change storms in. But it's not what they were waiting for. It never is. 'This stunning debut novel has such swaggering exuberance that it will make most other fiction you read this year seem criminally dull. You have been warned.' Irvine Welsh 'Omar Musa's writing is tough and tender, harsh and poetic, raw and beautiful, it speaks to how we live and dream now. This novel broke my heart a little but it also made me ecstatic at the possibilities of what the best writing can do. His voice is genuine, new and exciting; his voice roars.' Christos Tsiolkas 'A muscular examination of dislocation and disempowerment among the lives of Australian youths on the edge of mainstream society ...... Musa's blending of poetry and prose is refreshing ...... [His] descriptions, polished by his own ventures into hip-hop and songwriting, are at once tender, beautiful, gritty and raw ...... It is his voice, lyrical and incendiary, that will rise and soar.' The Guardian (Australia) 'Musa's writing is neat, compelling, and engaging ...... This talented wordsmith is really hitting his stride.' Adelaide Advertiser 'Possessed of an originality and daring that does not mind nearing the reckless ...... A striking debut.' Canberra Times 'Here Come the Dogs both entertains and assaults, filling gaps in a national literature that's too complacent, and too narrow ...... Musa has true poetic chops. He is also a fine observer, meticulous about chronicling rarely written aspects of the world ...... Debut novels often come with an implicit caveat: this is a writer to watch, someone who brings a fresh voice at the expense of form. Musa is better than that. It's a big, bad book that promises the world, then burns it all joyously down.' Saturday Paper 'It's his mixture of the harsh and the tender that gives Musa's prose an unpredictable tension ...... [he] is not afraid of emotion.' Saturday Age 'An ambitious, powerful and exciting debut.' Men's Style 'Musa is a trailblazing literary talent, using visceral language that jumps off the page like rapid fire.' Yen

Download and read online ebook Here Come the Brides! write by Audrey Bilger. This book was released on 2012-03-06. Here Come the Brides! available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Marriage today isn't what it used to be: for better, not for worse. As same-sex weddings are becoming more common, the classic love-story happy ending is taking on a decidedly new twist, everyone has a fresh role to play, and supporters and opponents of gay marriage alike are finding themselves in the midst of a revolution that's redefining marriage—both as a personal choice and as an institution—as we know it. In Here Come the Brides!, editors Audrey Bilger and Michele Kort gather together the voices of women taking part in-and shaping-this major historical shift. Representing a diversity of points of view in terms of race, class, ethnicity, and gender identification, this collection of essays, stories, and visual images takes a multidimensional look at how opening up the traditional order of "man and wife" to include the possibility of "wife and wife" is altering our social landscape. From wedding pictures and images of protest signs to comical anecdotes and sober philosophical analyses, Here Come the Brides! is an exploration of how the legalization of same-sex marriages has irrevocably changed the way lesbians think about their unions and their lives-and a celebration of the dream of lesbian happily-ever-afters.
