My Brother
Fatima Jinnah - 1987

It was published by the Quaid-i-Azam Academy in 1987. A major focus of the book are his political aspirations and how his failing health affected them.

Endgame: Bobby Fischer's Remarkable Rise and Fall—From America's Brightest Prodigy to the Edge of Madness
Frank Brady - 2011
and remarkable powers of concentration, Bobby memorized hundreds of chess books in several languages, and he was only 13 when he became the youngest chess master in U.S. history. But his strange behavior started early. In 1972, at the historic Cold War showdown in Reykjavik, Iceland, where he faced Soviet champion Boris Spassky, Fischer made headlines with hundreds of petty demands that nearly ended the competition. It was merely a prelude to what was to come. Arriving back in the United States to a hero’s welcome, Bobby was mobbed wherever he went—a figure as exotic and improbable as any American pop culture had yet produced. No player of a mere “board game” had ever ascended to such heights. Commercial sponsorship offers poured in, ultimately topping $10 million—but Bobby demurred. Instead, he began tithing his limited money to an apocalyptic religion and devouring anti-Semitic literature. After years of poverty and a stint living on Los Angeles’ Skid Row, Bobby remerged in 1992 to play Spassky in a multi-million dollar rematch—but the experience only deepened a paranoia that had formed years earlier when he came to believe that the Soviets wanted him dead for taking away “their” title. When the dust settled, Bobby was a wanted man—transformed into an international fugitive because of his decision to play in Montenegro despite U.S. sanctions. Fearing for his life, traveling with bodyguards, and wearing a long leather coat to ward off knife attacks, Bobby lived the life of a celebrity fugitive – one drawn increasingly to the bizarre. Mafiosi, Nazis, odd attempts to breed an heir who could perpetuate his chess-genius DNA—all are woven into his late-life tapestry. And yet, as Brady shows, the most notable irony of Bobby Fischer’s strange descent – which had reached full plummet by 2005 when he turned down yet another multi-million dollar payday—is that despite his incomprehensible behavior, there were many who remained fiercely loyal to him. Why that was so is at least partly the subject of this book—one that at last answers the question: “Who was Bobby Fischer?”

"Pussy Whip" A Guide To Control Your Man's Thoughts, Actions & Deeds
Lanie Stevens - 2013
You don't need to read and memorize a book that is 200 pages long for it to be effective. You don’t need to dress in sexy lingerie, be a femme fatale or force yourself to love and participate in shooting pool or hunting wild animals to win or keep your man's affection. You don’t need to change who and what you are to attract a man, keep a man or get him to change. ALL you need is this short instructional guide with my “secret technique” to have him eating out of the palm of your hand ANYTIME you want. Unlike most “self help” books that give you a laundry list of ways you can change to “attract” and keep a man this book will give you a technique that is simple, fast and powerful. It is not a “flirting” technique or a kinky “sexual” position…it is an amazing technique that will literally allow you to control your man’s behavior. That’s right…control his behavior and therefore his thoughts, actions and deeds. Anytime you want! I know this sound too good to be true but it is true. I assure you that there is no way you can understand how powerful this technique is until you try it and then you will be amazed at how fast it works. It is truly magic! This “secret technique” is so powerful that I do not want ANY men to ever read this book! If I could prevent men from buying or reading this book I would do it in a heartbeat. There are certain secrets that women should never divulge to men and this is one of the most powerful. I have used this technique for years and have seen it work in a matter of minutes. I used it on my ex-boyfriend John and if it can work on a stubborn, non-believing, narcissist like him it will work on ANY MAN. A friend used it on her boyfriend to get him to tell her the truth and all he kept saying was "I don't know why I am telling you all the things that I am telling you!" He meant it! He had no control over what he was doing because she controlled his actions. I love books like "Why Men Love Bitches" and "The Power of Pussy" but this book will give you a technique that is unique and powerful....a technique you can use any time, any place and on any one. Go ahead, "Pussy Whip" your man and have him love every minute of it! Lanie Stevens is also the author of: Lustful Lanie Book One Lustful Lanie Book Two Lustful Lanie Book Three

Alabanza: New and Selected Poems 1982-2002
Martín Espada - 2003
"Alabanza" means "praise" in Spanish, and Espada praises the people Whitman called "them the others are down upon": the African slaves who brought their music to Puerto Rico; a prison inmate provoking brawls so he could write poetry in solitary confinement; a janitor and his solitary strike; Espada's own father, who was jailed in Mississippi for refusing to go to the back of the bus. The poet bears witness to death and rebirth at the ruins of a famine village in Ireland, a town plaza in México welcoming a march of Zapatista rebels, and the courtroom where he worked as a tenant lawyer. The title poem pays homage to the immigrant food-service workers who lost their lives in the attack on the World Trade Center. From the earliest out-of-print work to the seventeen new poems included here, Espada celebrates the American political imagination and the resilience of human dignity. Alabanza is the epic vision of a writer who, in the words of Russell Banks, "is one of the handful of American poets who are forging a new American language, one that tells the unwritten history of the continent, speaks truth to power, and sings songs of selves we can no longer silence." An American Library Association Notable Book of 2003 and a 2003 New York Public Library Book to Remember."To read this work is to be struck breathless, and surely, to come away changed."—Barbara Kingsolver "Martín Espada is the Pablo Neruda of North American authors. If it was up to me, I'd select him as the Poet Laureate of the United States."—Sandra Cisneros "With these new and selected poems, you can grasp how powerful a poet Espada is—his range, his compassion, his astonishing images, his sense of history, his knowledge of the lives on the underbelly of cities, his bright anger, his tenderness, his humor. "—Marge Piercy "Espada's poems are not just clarion calls to the heart and conscience, but also wonderfully crafted gems."—Julia Alvarez "A passionate, readable poetry that makes [Espada] arguably the most important 'minority' U.S. poet since Langston Hughes."—Booklist"Neruda is dead, but if Alabanza is any clue, his ghost lives through a poet named Martín Espada."—San Francisco Chronicle
