Don't miss this hilarious and irreverent installment in the beloved Discworld series from New York Times bestselling author Sir Terry Pratchett.It’s the most wonderful time of the year, Hogswatchnight, when the Hogfather himself dons his red suit and climbs in his sleigh pulled by—of course—eight hogs, to shower gifts across Discworld. But when the fat man goes missing, someone has to sit in. It’s up to Death to take up the reigns—otherwise the sun won’t shine tomorrow . . . or ever again.Who would want to harm Discworld's most beloved icon? Very few things are held sacred in this twisted, corrupt, heartless—and oddly familiar—universe, but the Hogfather is one of them. Yet here it is, Hogswatchnight, that most joyous and acquisitive of times, and the jolly, old, red-suited gift-giver has vanished without a trace. And there's something shady going on involving an uncommonly psychotic member of the Assassins' Guild and certain representatives of Ankh-Morpork's rather extensive criminal element. Suddenly Discworld's entire myth system is unraveling at an alarming rate. Drastic measures must be taken, which is why Death himself is taking up the reins of the fat man's vacated sleigh . . . which, in turn, has Death's level-headed granddaughter, Susan, racing to unravel the nasty, humbuggian mess before the holiday season goes straight to hell and takes everyone along with it.The Discworld novels can be read in any order, but Hogfather is the fourth book in the Death series.

Hokum!: The Early Sound Slapstick Short and Depression-Era Mass Culture
by Rob KingA free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Hokum! is the first book to take a comprehensive view of short-subject slapstick comedy in the early sound era. Challenging the received wisdom that sound destroyed the slapstick tradition, author Rob King explores the slapstick short’s Depression-era development against a backdrop of changes in film industry practice, comedic tastes, and moviegoing culture. Each chapter is grounded in case studies of comedians and comic teams, including the Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, and Robert Benchley. The book also examines how the past legacy of silent-era slapstick was subsequently reimagined as part of a nostalgic mythology of Hollywood’s youth.

by John Paul BrammerLGBTQ advice columnist John Paul Brammer writes a &“wise and charming&” (David Sedaris) memoir-in-essays chronicling his journey from a queer, mixed-race kid in America&’s heartland to becoming the &“Chicano Carrie Bradshaw&” of his generation. &“A master class of tone and tenderness.&” —The New York Times Book Review (Editors&’ Choice) &“Should be required reading.&” —Los Angeles TimesThe first time someone called John Paul (JP) Brammer &“Papi&” was on the gay hookup app Grindr. At first, it was flattering; JP took this as white-guy speak for &“hey, handsome.&” But then it happened again and again…and again, leaving JP wondering: Who the hell is Papi? Soon, this racialized moniker became the inspiration for his now wildly popular advice column &“¡Hola Papi!,&” launching his career as the Cheryl Strayed for young queer people everywhere—and some straight people too. JP had his doubts at first—what advice could he really offer while he himself stumbled through his early twenties? Sometimes the best advice comes from looking within, which is what JP does in his column and book—and readers have flocked to him for honest, heartfelt wisdom, and more than a few laughs. In this hilarious, tenderhearted book, JP shares his story of growing up biracial and in the closet in America&’s heartland, while attempting to answer some of life&’s most challenging questions: How do I let go of the past? How do I become the person I want to be? Is there such a thing as being too gay? Should I hook up with my grade school bully now that he&’s out of the closet? Questions we&’ve all asked ourselves, surely. ¡Hola Papi! is &“a warm, witty compendium of hard-won life lessons,&” (Harper&’s Bazaar) for anyone—gay, straight, and everything in between—who has ever taken stock of their unique place in the world.
