Insightful, humorous, and inspiring memoir of self-described
"regular guy" Bob Brown's courageous battle with pancreatic cancer
and his journey through the medical community to save his life. In
a conversational tone that feels like you're chatting with a
lifelong friend, Bob shares the play-by-play of his fight to stay
alive and make the right treatment decisions, affirms the
difference a positive attitude can make, and celebrates the
unexpected gift of a new perspective on life. What would you do
upon hearing your doctor utter the words "inoperable pancreatic
cancer"? If you or someone you love has been diagnosed, this
amazing story of survival will move you, amuse you, and instill
hope in your heart.

writing, media, publishing, and art This new edition of Bob Brown's
groundbreaking collection of modernist writing experiments has been
out of print since 1931, when Brown's Roving Eye Press originally
published it. Only a few copies exist in archives today. The
contributors include major modernist writers such as Gertrude
Stein, William Carlos Williams, F. T. Marinetti, Eugene Jolas and
Ezra Pound, key social realists like Kay Boyle and James T. Farrell
and daring queer novelists and artists including Charles Henri Ford
and Sidney Hunt. Providing extensive scholarly commentary, analyses
and newly discovered biographical information, this book sets the
anthology in its broader cultural context. This is an essential
resource for those interested in print and book history, the
politics and culture of the expatriate avant-garde and the reading
machine's impact on reading, writing and literacy.
