Perché la nonna ha comprato quella macchina
by Arianna Introini Anne R. AllenRacconti brevi e poesie di Anne R. Allen, umorista e autrice di romanzi gialli e commedie romantiche. Alcune storie, come Vive La Revolution, pubblicata la prima volta sulla rivista umoristica e provocatoria Opium, sono satire, altre invece sono più profonde, ma tutte quante sono ritratti spiritosi di donne ribelli. Da Betty Jo, che sta invecchiando e si sente così invisibile da prendere in considerazione l'idea di rapinare una banca, a Maude, una bambina di dieci anni trascurata che si rivolge a un Elvis immaginario per ricevere l'amore che le viene negato dalla famiglia aristocratica, fino a una versione adolescenziale e assetata di sangue di Madame Defarge, tutte queste donne - giovani e anziane - si ribellano agli stereotipi e ai ruoli tradizionali che le tengono a freno. Motivo per cui, naturalmente, la nonna ha comprato quella macchina...

Perdiendo los Tornillos en el QE2 (Perdiendo Los Tornillos Ser.)
by Nicholas WalkerEscrita por un autor de superventas, esta es la hilarante historia de cómo éste tuvo un colapso nervioso y huyó por el mundo en el QE2. Increíble pero absolutamente verídico, el sensible estado mental del autor le da un enfoque diferente a un viaje alrededor del mundo y los millonarios con los que se mezcla. Un libro de viajes verdaderamente diferente que te hará reír en cada página. Esta es la historia real de cómo el autor curó un colapso nervioso tomando un crucero por el mundo en el Queen Elizabeth ll. Es una mirada al lujoso estilo de vida de los muy ricos desde el punto de vista algo sardónico de alguien que no está del todo cuerdo. Visitamos 40 países y cada uno recibe las observaciones del autor, que casi siempre son humorísticas y están escritas por alguien que tiene un estado mental frágil que hace que arroje al viento toda posible cautela. Pero más que eso, Nick no es un viajero convencional: es arrestado en Nueva York y sometido a una íntima inspección corporal, lucha contra tres asaltantes armados en Jamaica, se pelea con oficiales de aduana australianos, tiene un accidente de moto en Bali, es atacado por dos ancianos en el Taj Mahal y es vetado de Vietnam. Sin embargo, el libro trata más sobre su vida a bordo del QE2: sus aventuras amorosas, su creciente relación con el personal y su estilo de vida íntimo y cerrado, el desastroso concierto del personal que termina en una pelea total, los excesos de los pasajeros súper ricos y las estrafalarias situaciones que solo ocurren a bordo, como la noche en que queda atrapado en la pista de baile con las tres mujeres con las que ha estado saliendo. En general, es la historia de un hombre y su regreso a la cordura hasta que finalmente es depositado nuevamente en el muelle de Southampton, donde su aventura comenzó, solo ahora que no tiene un céntimo y le acaban de informar que todo lo que poseía en el mundo había sido arrojado por la borda al océano.

Perfect Disaster: Romance novel

Do you think it is fair that a woman raising her children alone is branded a bad mother for one thing or another, while a man raising his children alone evokes sympathetic looks and words of support and encouragement?

But Alexis shrugs off the comments of others —for the most part. As long as her children have food on the table, a roof over their heads, and her; especially her, to give them the love that only a mother knows how to give. As for Henry, he’s a widower, whose wife’s sudden death coupled with his daughter’s looming adolescence isn’t making life easy for him.

What will happen when Henry and Alexis cross paths and discover that they can support each other as a team, even when their lives are so different?

Perfect Sound Whatever: THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
by James Acaster*The Sunday Times Bestseller*The brand new memoir from James Acaster: cult comedian, bestselling author of Classic Scrapes, undercover cop, receiver of cabbages.PERFECT SOUND WHATEVER is a love letter to the healing power of music, and how one man's obsessive quest saw him defeat the bullshit of one year with the beauty of another. Because that one man is James Acaster, it also includes tales of befouling himself in a Los Angeles steakhouse, stealing a cookie from Clint Eastwood, and giving drunk, unsolicited pep talks to urinating strangers. January, 2017James Acaster wakes up heartbroken and alone in New York, his relationship over, a day of disastrous meetings leading him to wonder if comedy is really what he wants to be doing any more. A constant comfort in James's life has been music, but he's not listened to anything new for a very long time. Idly browsing 'best of the year' lists, it dawns on him that 2016 may have been a grim year for a lot of reasons, but that it seemed to be an iconic year for music. And so begins a life-changing musical odyssey, as James finds himself desperately seeking solace in the music of 2016, setting himself the task of only listening to music released that year, ending up with 500 albums in his collection. Looking back on this year-long obsession, parallels begin to grow between the music and James's own life: his relationship history, the highs and lows of human connection, residual Christian guilt, and mental health issues that have been bubbling under the surface for years. Some albums are life-changing masterpieces, others are 'Howdilly Doodilly' by Okilly Dokilly, a metalcore album devoted to The Simpsons' character Ned Flanders, but all of them play a part the year that helped James Acaster get his life back on track.
