The Future Future: A Novel
by Adam ThirlwellShort-listed for the Goldsmiths PrizeFinalist for the Orwell Prize for Political FictionA wild story of female friendship, language, and power, from France to colonial America to the moon, from 1775 to this very moment: a historical novel like no other.It’s the eighteenth century, and Celine is in trouble. Her husband is mostly absent. Her parents are elsewhere. And meanwhile men are inventing stories about her—about her affairs, her sexuality, her orgies and addictions. All these stories are lies, but the public loves them and spreads them like a virus. Celine can only watch as her name becomes a symbol for everything rotten in society. This is a world of decadence and saturation, of lavish parties and private salons, of tulle and satin and sex and violence. It’s also one ruled by men—high on colonial genocide, natural destruction, crimes against women, and, above all, language. To survive, Celine and her friends must band together in search of justice, truth, and beauty. Fantastical, funny, and blindingly bright, Adam Thirlwell’s The Future Future follows one woman on an urgently contemporary quest to clear her name and change the world.

Being Henry: The Fonz . . . and Beyond
by Henry WinklerInstant New York Times Bestseller! From Emmy-award winning actor, author, comedian, producer, and director Henry Winkler, a deeply thoughtful memoir of the lifelong effects of stardom and the struggle to become whole.Henry Winkler, launched into prominence as “The Fonz” in the beloved Happy Days, has transcended the role that made him who he is. Brilliant, funny, and widely-regarded as the nicest man in Hollywood (though he would be the first to tell you that it’s simply not the case, he’s really just grateful to be here), Henry shares in this achingly vulnerable memoir the disheartening truth of his childhood, the difficulties of a life with severe dyslexia, the pressures of a role that takes on a life of its own, and the path forward once your wildest dream seems behind you. Since the glorious era of Happy Days fame, Henry has endeared himself to a new generation with roles in such adored shows as Arrested Development, Parks and Recreation, and Barry, where he’s been revealed as an actor with immense depth and pathos, a departure from the period of his life when he was so distinctly typecast as The Fonz, he could hardly find work. Filled with profound heart, charm, and self-deprecating humor, Being Henry is a memoir about so much more than a life in Hollywood and the curse of stardom. It is a meaningful testament to the power of sharing truth and kindness and of finding fulfillment within yourself.

Grün und Blau trägt wessen Frau? (...hat meine Mutter immer gesagt)
by Colette KebellGiGi (alias Griselda Griswald) ist eine Frau mit einer klaren Mission: Menschen helfen, besser auszusehen, selbstbewusster und letztlich glücklicher zu werden. Die Rolle als Personal Shopper ist eine finstere Kunst, die kaum greifbare Früchte trägt. Das Business verbreitet sich per Mundpropaganda, aber ihre Kunden würden niemals zugeben, dass sie Hilfe nötig haben. Nicht einmal unter Folter. Ganz ehrlich: Wer gibt schon gerne zu, dass er Styling-Tipps bitternötig hat? Es ist wie bei Alkoholikern: Der erste Schritt ist es, zuzugeben, dass man Hilfe braucht, und zu erkennen, dass diese Leggings einem mit Mitte fünfzig nicht mehr wirklich sehr schmeichelt. Wer diese Erkenntnis gewinnt, ist schon auf dem Weg der Besserung, und da kommt GiGis Service ins Spiel, auch wenn ihre Mutter findet, ihr Job sei gar kein „richtiger“ Job. Die Leute brauchen einfach Tipps, und oft hilft eine neue Sichtweise, einen Kleiderschrank auf Vordermann zu bringen, der im Laufe der Zeit immer langweiliger geworden war. Aber würden sie es zugeben? Nie und nimmer! Also geht es nur darum, shoppen zu gehen, und den Leuten zu Kleidern und Schuhen zu verhelfen? Nicht ganz. GiGi ist knapp bei Kasse und ihre reichen und äußerst exzentrischen Kunden wissen oft selbst nicht, was sie wollen. Sie und ihr Geschäftspartner Ritchie versuchen mit Händen und Füßen, sich über Wasser zu halten, aber wie würden sie es in der Höhle der Löwen ausdrücken? GiGi ist „äußerst investierbar“. Jedoch mit dem Erfolg kommen auch neue Schwierigkeiten. Bald soll das Battersea Fashion Center direkt gegenüber ihrem Büro eröffnen, das sich als harte Konkurrenz versteht. Ein mächtiger Gegner bringt sich in Position, um sie zu verschlingen, denn GiGis Arbeitsweise wurde bereits als nicht zu unterschätzen eingestuft. Während sie neue Wege sucht, ihr Beratungsunternehmen zum Erfolg zu verhelfen, findet sie nebenbei noch die potenzielle Liebe ihres Lebens.<br
