De acuerdo al folklor de mi pueblo hay que tocar el cadáver del novio para evitar que el muerto te lleve con él. Por eso no pude evitar que me obligaran a tocar el frío cadaver del hombre que me enseño que el amor romántico incluye sexo. No me gustan los funerales y espero que al próximo que me vea obligada a ir sea al mío...Hasta ahora me las he arreglado para ir por la vida sin comprometerme mucho con los convenios sociales. Soy una mujer de cierta edad, sin trabajo estable, soltera y sin hijos. Después de pasarme más de 20 años trabajando en las frías noches de la ciudad de New York, regresé a mi Isla natal. Mi plan era dedicarme a escribir, bailar, envejecer con mi madre y besar sapos hasta que la vida me sorprendiera con uno que hable, o por lo menos entienda, el lenguaje de mi alma. Crear las condiciones para una vida simple y bonita era mi plan pero la vida tenía otros planes.Una tarde gris del 2018... Mi hermana mayor, Enilda, se quedó en la casa cuidando a nuestra madre quien recientemente había recibido su 'Comfort Kit', un paquete con medicamentos, entre ellos Morfina, reservado solo para los enfermos que tienen menos de seis meses de vida. Mi hermana Mónica, quien hacía solo unos meses había sido sometida a una cirugía para extirparle un tumor maligno de su seno derecho, se estaba practicando unos exámenes para descartar la malignidad de un pequeño quiste en sus ovarios... Mientras yo me quedé en el hospital cuidando a mi sobrino Angel, hijo de Mónica. Angel, nació muy saludable pero a la edad de 11 años empezó a padecer misteriosas convulsiones que resultaron ser causadas por una malformación en las venas de su cerebro. Su condición era inoperable pero la radiación era un opción. "Nadie está tan mal que no pueda estar peor" me dice mi cuñado Antonio a través de la cama del hospital donde Angel, su hijo, estaba conectado a una máquina de encefalogramas. Pienso que tiene razón pero no podía imaginar un peor escenario y me quedo callada para no llorar. Intentaba ser fuerte, por Angel, por mis hermanas, por mi mamá y por toda mi familia.Mi mamá murió en el invierno del 2019. No fui a su funeral, tampoco al de mi papá quien murió 10 años antes, ni al de mi hermano Luichy quien solo tenía 17 años cuando fue arrastrado por el río un Domingo en la tarde. . . ¿ya dije que no me gustan los funerales?.La perdida de la madre me empujo a un espacio liminal, pasé muchas noches aterrorizada vagando por los rincones de una casa llena de ausencias...Nunca imaginé que 'mi vida simple y bonita' incluiría un entrenamiento intensivo en lágrimas. Estoy aprendiendo a no evadir el inevitable dolor que implica estar vivos y en los últimos 4 años he llorado por todas las pérdidas de mi vida. Este libro es una colección de momentos, es mi intento de encasillar en palabras pequeños fragmentos de la misteriosa danza que hasta ahora ha sido mi vida.

It all started in August 2006 when the real estate market began to collapse in the Sarasota, Florida area. It was almost two years before the rest of the nation caught up, and also totally collapsed. Timothy Carr had planned to retire and live 'The Good Life.' Instead, he was flat broke and owed other people money. Slowly the reality of his situation began to sink in. No job. No home to live in. No credit. And no one was hiring. That's a lot of "NOs" to deal with. He wanted to shut off the lights and hibernate in a corner, but he didn't have a corner to hibernate in. That's when he discovered that, in Downtown Sarasota, you could moor a boat at no cost - it was free! That got him looking around for boats. He had been looking in the classified section of the newspaper and had seen several boats available. One ad read: "26-foot motorsailer, free to a good home". And that's how he became a "liveaboard" at O'Leary's Tiki Bar and Grill, located inside Island Park, just south of Marina Jack's, on the harbor side of Sarasota. O'Leary's is a rather unique place, and it took Timothy some time to settle in to becoming a liveaboard. Since he was now moored out in the bay in his own boat, coming and going every day, he met many new people, offering him interesting peeks into the lives of those who drifted through. Timothy soon discovered that he never knew who he would be talking to. One day, it would be someone down and out on their luck. The next day, it could be a celebrity or multi-millionaire taking a break from his or her 60-foot yacht. This is what made it so interesting being around O'Leary's and getting to "live the good life" there. And, oh, the tales he tells ... PRAISE FOR LIVING THE GOOD LIFE AT O'LEARY'S: "Such a wonderfully poignant tale of how life always brings you the people you need to survive and thrive, forever and always coming full circle. And as a Sarasotan once myself, I fell in love with the magic it holds all over again. Looking forward to the next book in this series!" --- D. D. Scott, Bestselling Author ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Timothy Carr has held many (many) different jobs - from working as a laborer to supervising 12 convenience stores with over 76 employees. He also managed restaurants, a Radio Shack, A Pizza Hut, and a coin shop. Some of his friends asked him "who are you to write a book?" His answer was that he had gotten to know so many wonderful people at O'Leary's (and throughout Sarasota, Florida) that he wants the world to get to know them, too.

In this short story collection, Gary Troia shares his adventures, travels and memoirs from his life."Excellent! A collection of short stories about: depression, alcoholism and drug use. Very compelling reading. I read this short story collection all in one go." (Maria, Goodreads.) "Gary manages to take the mundanities of life and elevate them to brilliance. in this short story collection" (Sara Fell) "Author, Gary cements growing reputation...A Bricklayer's Tales touches on real-life experiences in the building trade." ( Salina Patel, Hounslow Cronicle) Anyone who has ever done building work for brutal wage slavery and wondered if they were going mad, will recognise the life of Ray Dennis, (Troia's alter ego) which evokes a vision of mind-numbing, soul-destroying workplaces and workmates. His is the voice of discord for the marginally employed, the creatively frustrated working Joe, who turns to a life of drink and drugs to elevate the monotony of life. Few have brought this world to life with such despair, black humour and indifference as Gary Troia. He paints a beautifully sad portrait of a truly messed up person with potential, struggling to keep his messed up mind from drowning in cheap wine and self-loathing. Ray's spirit is trapped in a world of endless grey mundanity. A Bricklayer's Tales is the ultimate "I hate this job" story, written as a collection of short stories and memoirs, each one containing a snapshot of the life of Ray. Troia captures the tedium of working in a low paid, menial job and living hand to mouth. This book of short stories is sad and questions the reader to ask questions about their own life. This book achieves clarity without trying. Ray has three expensive hobbies: drinking, drugs, and running away. Without the income that Bricklaying provides, he would not be able to maintain his chosen lifestyle, so he compromises his principles and continues with his trade.

当时的文字我起名《漂泊者日记》， 那时中国外出的人员还很稀少，我企图用我的真实经历给国内的人们，讲述海外华人奋斗的故事。三十几年来这些故事，零零星星发表在各种媒体上。有朋友便建议我把这些文字整理成回忆录出版，但是越整理，我越不敢把印成书了。原来回忆录是最难写的一种体裁，回忆录是最讲真话的文体，刚从充满谎言的文革时代过来，心里还充满对讲真话的恐惧，于是放弃了出版的念头。大人物的回忆录，是历史长河里的洪流，但却常常会卷入泥沙，浑浊了历史的真实。像我们一类的小人物，只是奔腾历史长河中飞溅的水花，水花是不显眼的，但她仅仅在阳光下一闪，便记忆下历史最真实的片刻。从这点感觉出发，我剩余的大量素材，以散文的文体，讲述着旅欧华人（包括自己）的故事，集在了《七十年变迁-张甲林回忆录》集子中出版 。
