Isn't there something about that I should remember...?
Deu top-models i una boja que parla sola
by Daniel ArbósDe vegades agafen ganes de partir-li les fletxes a Cupido. I la cara, sobretot la cara. L’Eduard té trenta-uns-quants anys, fa de redactor en una publicació mèdica i és solter. O desemparellat. O single. O com se n’hagi de dir. Fa poc que ha trencat amb la que havia de ser la mare dels seus fills, l’àvia dels seus néts i la besàvia dels seus besnets, i no se la pot treure del cap. Ni del cor. Ni dels altres òrgans. Per això, la germana i els amics, que no el volen veure tan solter, tan desemparellat, tan single, ni tan com se n’hagi de dir, el pressionen perquè trobi parella. Tampoc pot ser tan difícil... «Des de l’adolescència sóc conscient que Déu, els astres, l’atzar, el monstre de l’espagueti volador del pastafarisme o qui sigui confabula en contra meva. Si a la mateixa parada de metro pugen una desena de models estupendes i una boja que parla sola i fa pudor, no cal patir: aquesta serà la que s’asseurà al meu costat. És una llei universal.»

Seis meses depois nasce Sabina. Enquanto isso, a nova líder alemã, Hilda Muller, descobre como salvar a Terra da invasão Xeno.

Deuses do Espaço Divino II: Revolução para Iniciantes (Deuses do Espaço Divino #2)
by Martin LundqvistKeila é a revolucionária perfeita: Sem inteligência, sanidade ou senso comum, Ela tem algo muito mais importante: armadura de trama e a ajuda telepática de Rangda, uma demônia maligna do espaço! Esse livro é a sequência do Deuses do Espaço Divino: A Tolice de Abraham e é uma comédia obscura d’A Sedição Divina, pelo mesmo autor. É o ano 2872 e a jovem, linda e completamente insana Keila Eisenstein está fugindo de seu stalker, o contra-almirante Bjorn Muller. Escapando dele pela zilhogésima vez, Keila colide na colônia asteroide Éden, mais famosa pelo reality show “Os Bobos da Idade do Bronze” Convencida de que o Éden é o seu destino, Keila mata o ator principal da série “Os Bobos da Idade do Bronze”, Abraham Goldstein, o que força o cancelamento da série. Keila finge sua própria morte ao deletar suas contas nas mídias sociais e instrui seu amante, Metatron, a liberar um comunicado de imprensa colocando a culpa desse cancelamento em Bjorn Muller. Bjorn, que está convencido da morta de Keila, já que ele não consegue imaginar ela deletando sua conta no Spacebook, volta à Terra para suas férias. Que são arruinadas quando Bjorn é culpado pelo cancelamento da série favorita de todos! Enquanto “morta”, Keila desenvolve um movimento revolucionário contra o Conselho Terráqueo. Apesar de sua falta de inteligência ou senso comum, sua armadura de trama está guiando-a, e com a ajuda de uma demônia espacial maligna, Rangda, ela se posiciona para libertar a humanidade da opressão de uma ordem incompetente de vilões que formam o Conselho Terráqueo. Mas, confiar numa demônia espacial maligna para libertar a humanidade de um grupo plutocrático de opressores é realmente a melhor ideia?
Devangelical
by Erika RaeDevangelical is an irresistibly funny and irreverent memoir about Erika Rae's experience growing up in - and out of - the Evangelical church in the American Bible Belt. As an adolescent who is expected to be hot for God, and not boys, Erika dreads that the Rapture will come before she gets to have sex. All the while she survives exorcisms, radical taboos, satanic back-masking on records, muscle men for Jesus, and cool, mulleted youth group leaders. Eventually Erika emerges as a young, married adult in spiritual limbo. Devangelical is a political and personal exploration of how the Evangelical church affects us all. For Erika Rae, it means a smart and honest shedding of baggage. A lot of heavy, scuffed-up, duct-taped baggage . . . with clowns inside.
The Development
by John Barth&“A merry satire about the smart, moneyed, and demanding retirees living in a gated community . . . Scintillating on the surface and churning with danger below&” (Booklist). From a National Book Award–winning author, this is a collection of &“nine darkly comic stories set in a gated community on Maryland&’s Eastern Shore&” (Publishers Weekly). Something has disturbed the comfortably aging denizens of Heron Bay Estates, a pristine retirement community in Chesapeake Bay. In the dawn of the new millennium—and the evening of their lives—these empty nesters have discovered that their tidy enclave can be surprisingly colorful, shocking, and surreal. From the high jinks of a toga party to a baffling suicide pact, John Barth, &“a comic genius of the highest order,&” brings compassion to the lives of his characters with the mordant humor that has earned him a reputation as one of our most original storytellers (The New York Times Book Review). &“Disturbing, but humorous . . . Reading &‘The Development&’ is a worthy investment in lofty literary real estate.&” —The Seattle Times &“Perhaps the most prodigally gifted comic novelists writing in English today.&” —Newsweek &“A low-key, clear-eyed, battered-but-unbowed portrait of the diminishments and minor pleasures of age. Barth&’s prose still has its sinew and snap; he examines near-decrepitude with mordant, rueful wit.&” —Kirkus Reviews
