Samuel Beckett's narrative innovations are among his most important contributions to twentieth-century literature. Yet contemporary Beckett scholarship rarely considers the effect of his literary influences on the evolution of his narrative techniques, focusing instead on Beckett's philosophical implications. In this study, John Bolin challenges the utility of reading Beckett through a narrow philosophical lens, tracing new avenues for understanding Beckett's work - and by extension, the form of the modern novel - by engaging with English, French, German, and Russian literature. Presenting new empirical evidence drawn from major archives in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States, Bolin demonstrates Beckett's preoccupation with what he termed the 'European novel': a lineage running from Sade to Stendhal, Dostoevsky, Gide, Sartre, and Celine. Through close readings of Beckett's manuscripts and novels up to and including The Unnamable, Bolin provides a new account of how Beckett's fiction grew out of his changing compositional practice, even as he moved beyond early exemplars.

In this evangelistic book, John Bolin follows a fiction-meets-nonfiction approach to lead readers to a surprising encounter with Jesus - as they ponder the reality of heaven and how to get there. The Two Doors of Heaven begins with an extended story of Jack, a guynext- door kind of person who is killed in a freak accident while sitting at a coffee shop. He awakes in the afterlife and is taken on a journey toward his moment of judgment before God. Along the way he meets several people who help him unravel life's meaning. The second part of the book is like a personal conversation with the author. Bolin anticipates the questions and reflections readers have and helps them explore the real issues faced in regard to the two doors of heaven.

Thrivers is an entrepreneur's fable that is entertaining, compelling and transformational. In Thrivers, Vance Brown and John Bolin use the power of storytelling to challenge the long-held belief that effective entrepreneurs are either fierce competitors or visionary leaders. In this brave, new book Brown and Bolin assert that the best entrepreneurs must be both. Yet doing both requires the heart of a missionary and the skills to fight like a mercenary. Few do both well, but with the proper training and self-awareness, entrepreneurs can learn to thrive with both mindsets.Chad Banning, Sensors Everywhere's CEO, faces a looming personal and corporate crisis when he is offered a do-or-die offer from investors that could rescue his struggling company. Will he take the deal, even if it means he loses control of his company and perhaps his job? Will his company be able to go to the next stage of growth, or will Chad collapse under the weight of it all? Set in the wilds of the Rocky Mountains, this surging tale of leadership, risk, teamwork and grit is a poignant lesson in the power of vulnerability, self-awareness and hope. At the core of the story, Brown and Bolin unveil a new model for plotting where entrepreneurs reside in the "Thriver's Quadrant." Using relatable case studies, they take the reader on a journey of self-discovery and paint a clear path to close the gap between the dangerous positions we so often find ourselves in and the abundance we all desire. Discover the enthralling story with a simple message that delivers exponential results.
