Book Description
"Prisons are hard places to get into and harder yet to get out of," writes Robert Ellis Gordon as he takes you on a remarkable eight-year journey into the Washington State corrections system.
As a writing teacher, Gordon had the unique experience of gaining access to the darkest realms of Washington prisons while still being free to walk away from penitentiary confines at the end of the day. His account is aided by essays and stories contributed by six extraordinary prison students - works that give this book an unforgettable edge. Together, Gordon and his students provide revealing glimpses of this vast secret-laden subculture of incarcerated individuals, which nationwide comprises more than two million U.S. citizens.
Here is a gallery of portraits of prison life, from the female guard who tantalizes male inmates with her sexuality to the terrified young fish trying to stave off other prisoners. These stories are jarring, harsh, compelling. The Funhouse Mirror provides an inside look at the prison system we often ignore, yet only at society's peril. This uncommon book is a significant addition to the literature on American penitentiaries. It is destined to help alter the terms of the debate about one of the great national problems of our time.
"In this memoir about teaching writing in prisons, we get a strong whiff of the fear, degradation, and violence that characterize daily life inside these institutions. What sneaks up on us is the character of Robert Gordon. The author's sustained act of charity, his years' long act of hope, is as striking as the honesty and bravery behind his report." --Barry Lopez, National Book Award Winner

Interesting New Approach to Life Behind Bars.......2007-05-03
There have been books describing the subculture of prison life and those withiin it (Hot House, New Jack, etc) but this is the first one that is told through using a combination of narrative, and stores written by the prisoners themselves in a creative writing class. This book is informative, honest, and will do nothing to make you feel better about the system. However, it is an interesting read, the stories and backgrounds of the criminals makes you realize that most of them could not, and should not be released to society. But, after hearing their stories, you do think about the 'nurture vs nature' arguement. Well written book.
educational.......2006-11-30
Since I know nothing of the prison system, wanting to broaden my education, I choose this. An exceptional book, not only for one wanting an education, yet to know the system. VERY well written. A MUST read for anyone wanting to know more that the basic of the gossip mill. Thank YOU for taking the time to write.
A Daring Refelction.......2004-02-05
Unlike most books I read, I was able to meet with the author of The Funhouse Mirror, Robert Ellis Gordon, on a few occasions. He had published his book through Washington State University Press, and a friend of mine was trying top help him distribute it to a wider academic audience. Knowledgeable, soft spoken and generous, Robert gave me a stack of his books on the promise that I would speak to colleagues and instructors in the Massachusetts area while on a 5 week seminar at Amherst College.
It went over well with fellow teachers at the seminar, which happened to be entitled "Crime, Punishment and Politics" and was led by Professor Austin Sarat. The book contains stories and essays by Gordon reflecting on his years spent as a teacher of creative writing in the Washington State prison system. Several other portions of the book contain the writings of his students in that setting as well.
The book is pure honesty. Sometime brutally so. Prison is not a fairy tale, and there is virtually no way the reader cannot be shocked and moved by the straightforward manner in which prisoners discuss their life there. Prison rape, the way in which sex offenders are treated by both other criminals and the state, and the peculiar pecking order society that has formed behind those prison walls, all of which is largely invisible to the rest of us, Gordon and friends make visible in the most meaningful way.
When I recommended it to one of my high school students, I was very clear about what the book entailed, and, though she had been a victim of violent crime, she decided she wanted to read it anyway. It was painful. She had to stop reading it several times to refocus and adjust. But when she had finished, she wrote one of the most brilliantly cathartic journal entries I had ever read. That's the kind of the power this book contains.
We are largely a throwaway society, in material goods, and sometimes, in human beings, and the 2 million Americans currently behind bars get very little consideration from the public at large when it comes to their conditions or future. The Funhouse Mirror doesn't let us forget that. It's not that Gordon is overly sympathetic towards prisoners. As he has publicly admitted, there are many who, quite simply, have to be there; he doesn't want them on the outside with the rest of us. But at the same time, I don't think he believes that prisoners have nothing to contribute to society, or that their ideas aren't worth noting and thinking about. And in that manner, he is one of the few authors who has dared to give them something of a voice outside the walls of thir imprisonment.
We've gone to great pains and expense as a society to incarcerate these individuals, and in the course of our daily lives, not much opportunity or desire to think about them. Robert Gordon's The Funhouse Mirror is that opportunity.
Merging Reflections.......2002-09-05
This book allows the reader to enter the worlds found in prisons in ways not encountered in other books on the topic. It is truly extraordinary to have the voices of this diverse group all somehow merge together to reflect aspects of our common humanity. I believe this quality in the writing by the prisoners could only happen with the wise guidance of an immensely skilled teacher and understanding person. Robert Gordon must be someone who sees and cares about the lives of others yet does not fall into the trap of becoming overly sentimental about the ironies and cruelties encountered in learning about and working with this group. Gordon manages
to lead the readers on a compelling journey that will expand their knowledge and continue to influence their thinking.
A Terrific Collection of Prison Writing.......2002-09-02
I started reading The Funhouse Mirror up while I was waiting for a connection in an airport. I got so absorbed in it that I almost missed my plane. It is a collection of stories by prisoners in Washington State. Their pieces are remarkable, but what really makes the book are the interspersed commentaries and stories by the editor, Robert Ellis Gordon. Gordon spent several years working in the prison system as a writing teacher, and the prisoners who wrote these stories were his students. While the prisoners' stories are good, Gordon himself is a far more accomplished and vivid writer. Reading Gordon's own pieces really brought home to me the hell that is our prison system, and the difficult moral and emotional problems that it poses. This is a wonderful, gripping, depressing book that I recommend to anyone who wants to learn about what our prisons are really like.

Book Description
FOREWORD A BOOK like the Mirrors of Downing Street is well enough. It is the fashion to be interested in English notables. But that sort of thing wont do here. The American public gets in the newspapers all it wants about our national politicians. That isnt book material. An editor said that just a year ago when we told him of the plan for the Mirrors of Washington. And, frankly, it seemed doubtful whether readers generally cared enough about our national political personalities to buy a book exclusively concerned with them. But they did. The Mirrors of Washington became an instantaneous success. It commanded almost unprecedented attention. It was heartily damned and vociferously welcomed. By the averagely curious citizen, eager for insight behind the gilded curtains of press-agentry and partisanship, it was hailed as a shaft of common-sense sunlight thrown into a clay-footed wilderness of political pap. And close to one hundred thousand copies were absorbed by a public evidently genuinely interested in an uncensored analysis of the people who are running us, or ruining us, as individual viewpoint may determine. The Mirrors of Washington was by way of being a pioneer, at least for America. Overseas, it is habitual enough to exhibit beneath the literary microscope the politically great and near-great, and even to dissect them often enough without anaesthesia. To our mind, such critical examination is healthily desirable. Here in America, we are case-hardened to the newspapers, whose ap- praisal of political personages is, after all, pretty well confined to the periods of pre-election cam- paigning. And we are precious little influenced by this sort ofthing the pro papers are so pro, and the anti papers so anti, that few try to determine how muchtobelieveandhowmuchto dismiss asroutine partisan prevarication. But a book Political criticism, and personality analyses, frozen into the so-permanently-appearing dignity of aprintedvolume that is something else again Even a politician who dismisses with a smile or a shrug recurrent discompliments in the news columns or the anonymous editorial pages of the press, is tempted to burst into angry protest when far less bitter, far more balanced criticism of himself is voiced in a book. A phenomenon, that, doubtless revisable as time goes on and the re- flections of more book-bound Mirrors brighten the eyes of those who read and jangle those who run for office. iv the nerves of Behind the Mirrors is another such book. It It is delves into the fundamentals at Washington. concerned with political tendencies as well as political personalities. It presents what impresses us as a genuinely useful and brilliant picture of present-daygovernmentalpsychologyandfunction- ing. It is a cross section of things as they are. The picture behind the mirrors is not as pretty as it might be. Probably the way to make it prettier is to let ample light in upon it so that the blemishes, discerned, may be rectified and to im- press those responsible for its rehabilitation with the necessity of taking advantage of the oppor- tunities that are theirs...

What Cancer Cannot Do.......2007-06-08
A wonderful tool to inspire and encourage those suffering with cancer or those with loved ones suffering with cancer. I have given several copies away to hospice patients, and I've always received positive feedback from the recipients.
Book Description
Cradled All the While is a beautifully crafted memoir in which the author recounts the story of her mother's death from cancer. In the midst of career and child-rearing, Corse becomes her mother's primary caregiver, but her story is a spiritual journey that will nurture the faith of people of many religious backgrounds. The themes encountered throughout the book parallel the issues dealt with in practical grieving resources; here, however, they are played out in the lives of a real family.
Customer Reviews:
A beautiful memoir .......2007-02-28
This book is a moving account of Sara Corse's mother's death not as a moment in time, but as a culmination of life's journey. It is wonderful to see someone be able to look past the stress and burden of caring for a dying person and realize the emotional rewards. Sara is down to earth about her and her mother's relationship and demonstrates that you do not need a perfect relationship to fully appreciate one another. There are many ways that this book can touch the reader: daughters can relate to the many dimensions of a mother-daughter relationship; caregivers can be inspired by Sara's fortitude; those who lost a loved one can learn a way to fill a void. Death is a very difficult subject to discuss and the fact that this book presents it in such a beautiful way is a gift in itself.
A Psychologist's View on the book and reader's guide.......2006-03-07
"My mother's final gift to me was given when she was beyond believing that she had anything left to offer anyone, and was received when I was long past expecting anything from her." Thus ends the prologue to the author's moving personal account of her mother's cancer experience, and the way in which the illness transformed their relationship over time. In this memoir, Dr. Corse intertwines flashbacks from her own life with the unfolding story of her mother's illness, illuminating the complex web of family relationships within which she struggles to understand and cope with her mother's dying. Memoirs about personal loss run the risk of leaving the reader feeling depleted or emotionally manipulated. Dr. Corse's book does neither. Her book is about the redemptive and transformative power of caring for a dying parent, leaving the reader feeling hopeful and inspired. This book is for anyone with a disappointing relationship with a parent who has died or is dying, and for everyone who seeks grace and healing in their relationships throughout life. The reader's guide, available free at www.councilforrelationships.org/articles/staying-centered_2-20-06.htm, offers a vehicle for reflecting on and discussing the book's themes related to dying, caring, and healing. The guide is organized according to topic, referencing specific sections in the book, and contains thought-provoking questions suitable for book clubs and for students in psychology, psychiatry, pastoral counseling, social work, nursing, and religion.
Substance and style!.......2005-06-13
When I recently picked up this book again to re-read it, what I remembered best about it were the author's impressive honesty and the insights that gave me into my relations with my own mother.
This time I was struck by how gracefully she handles the language and tells her story. Ever since my Jane Austen kick a few years ago I have found myself putting down books that I believed had something to say because I didn't like the way they were saying it. Not so here. This book is thought-provoking, and it is also a pleasure to read (but not if you're looking for something light-hearted!). I think it would appeal to a wider audience than those especially drawn to it for its focus on grief and on mother-daughter relations. I hope the author will write more.
Recommended for anyone with a mother.......2005-02-01
I found this to be a beautifully written book. To be able to take care of the dying is a tremendous gift, a blessing, and Sara found unexpected grace and healing in it. I found it only made me appreciate my mother even more. I wanted to tell her how important it was to me to be able to take care of her now that she is older, and she mustn't prevent me from doing so. If your relationship with your mom is troubled, all the more reason to read this book. Most of us don't want to face the inevitable, but when we do, some surprising things can happen. An excellent book for anyone with a mother...particularly someone in midlife with an older parent. Thank you Sara, for this book.
A Courageous and Honest Memoir.......2005-01-04
As the author of this beautifully written book says, "The curtain between life and death is a gossamer veil." With insight and honesty, Sara Corse gazes through this gossamer veil as she recounts her experiences caring for her mother, dying of cancer. Part memoir, part reflection on the meaning of life and death, this book mainly gives a moving account of her mother's last months, but through the use of flashbacks and discursions, Corse shows how the tenderness and pain of this final illness are woven into the larger complexities of a mother-daughter relationship. Corse understands the anguish of losing a parent in the context of her own sometimes anguished struggle for a personal identity and a meaningful faith. For those facing the death of a loved one, this book will be a comfort and a help. For anyone seeking understanding in the presence of the mystery of death, this book will be a deep river of wisdom.

Bunnylove.......2003-02-25
This book has truly helped me, go through the illness and death of my 4 1/2 yr old special needs son. What is so neat is that while this family lived in IL, Amanda and her sister attended the preschool and school where I worked. I met Amanda in person , and watched her in the "green room" many times. I always remember holding her and "Bunnylove" little did I know that when I became a mother I would go down the long road of having a sick child who now lives with the angel's. I hope and pray Amanda is alive and well, but if she too has gone home with the Angel's I know she and my little boy are together
SCOTT GAVE US THE REAL GIFT!.......2000-09-11
This author has provided the public at large with several real gifts. The first is the gift of his beautiful daughter, Amanda. The second was his unflinchingly honest assessment of Amanda's illness and the tragic impact it had on her family. The third gift was making his (and Amanda's) story public. This man has done an invaluable service and one can't help but hope for peace in their lives. This book is very inspirational.
A must read for children with serious illness........1999-08-21
This book, to be quite honest, at times is hard to read. Not because it doesn't flow or make sense, but because it is so easy to relate to what Scott has written. There were many times when I found myself thinking how I have expressed many of the same emotions and frustrations that Scott wrote about. It brought tears on more than one occassion. However, I am very glad I read the book. It is very helpful. Both with practical advice and in dealing with your emotions as you battle serious childhood illness. Thank you Scott, your book has been a gift to countless families.

Great comfort when you are deep in the pit of dispair.......2005-08-26
I would recommend this book for anyone who is struggling and not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of darkness. It is a great reminder of the One who is right there with you to catch you when you fall. We can find comfort in God and knowing He is there when nothing else can fill that sense of hopelessness. The words are as refreshing as cold water on the hottest day. The book brings us back to what is important and how God is always there for us even when we feel abandoned. For anyone who is deep in the pit of dispair from loss of loved one, divorce, depression, etc......A great gift when you can't find the words to say the right thing to give comfort.
Very beautiful and comforting.......2003-04-08
I ordered this as a giftbook for a bereaved friend and I was so very pleased with it. The illustrations are beautiful and the text is very comforting. I believe this would be a keepsake for any bereaved family.

Inspirational - Hope-filled - A Must Read!.......2007-05-13
At the age of 18, after three grueling years of unexplained leg and back pain, Kevin Sharp was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a form of bone cancer. Kevin, through this horrific and possibly life-ending diagnosis, was forced to literally grow up overnight and make decisions that no 18-year-old should be forced to make.
Instead of succumbing to his illness, Kevin chose to fight. A grueling and exasperating 2 years later, after months and months of chemotherapy, radiation, and even experimental treatments, Kevin's illness went into remission.
Kevin's first book, "Tragedy's Gift" has been released, telling the poignant and heart-wrenching story of Kevin's battle against an illness that almost claimed his life.
No matter if it's cancer or the most common terminal disease we simply refer to as "life," I hope you will see a little of yourself within my stories and words. Through my hopes, dreams, and trials, it's my prayer that you, too, will find the hope, faith, love, and strength to survive.
You are not alone.

Book Description
Are you willing to surrender all that you are, and all that you know, to receive good health, long life and an inner peace that surpasses all understanding? If so, then this book was written for you. I was on the proverbial edge of a cliff and then fell off into a deep dark hole full of death; fear and anguish is what I thought the definition of cancer was, until I met Jesus.
Beyond my wildest dreams, this life changing diagnoses of cancer has transformed me into a new creation. This inspirational book will lead you out of an unhealthy circumstance, into the light of victorious healing beyond all thoughts possible.
I am a woman who lived an average life day after day, working and striving for love and peace in all the wrong places. I am a woman who has brushed the shoulders of Satan and unknown to my consciousness believed and lived in the lies he fed me, until January 10, 2003. This was the day I was told that I had Breast Cancer and this was the day Jesus came to my rescue. I have been saved by the grace of God and I will take you step by step into the presence of your mighty Father who reins in Heaven and through Jesus and the Holy Spirit you will be made of a better mind, body and soul.
All is possible with the Lord and only God the Father makes the decision when we are to go back home. Standing in the presence of the Father begins right now. I will teach you all the Lord has revealed to me that has opened the door to Heaven while still here on earth. This will b e a life changing experience that will grant you eternal life, which means a life with no ending. You will learn how to surpass death as Jesus has, for we belong to the Prince of Peace and the King of all Nations. You are about to be put on a journey that is full of love, peace and understanding beyond your comprehension. You will receive an abundance of wisdom and knowledge from the author of life, God himself.
Can being diagnosed with cancer be the best thing that has ever happened to you; can being diagnosed with cancer actually save your life? The answer is yes.
Everything written in this book is based on true facts that have taken place. Hold my hand as I walk you into the light of Jesus, and may He carry you the rest of the way.
