Adrian E: Seduction Theory / B

Seduction Theory

The smart, funny, delicious campus novel that everyone is talking about

A Novel

Penitence

'Of course I'm starting my screenplay. I'm just going to Hoover the stairs first.'If you are at all interested in the nuts and bolts of story-telling and the curious workings of the entertainment industry, then this is the most informative, inspiring and funniest book on writing you will ever read, by someone who's been nominated for every showbiz award going (and then lost them all).Covering four decades in an ever-changing industry, John O'Farrell shares his writing journey from unsolicited radio sketches to huge Broadway musicals, crafting stories that have made people laugh, cry or sneak out to the pub in the interval. Here he reveals the inside secrets of every genre from sketches to sitcoms, novels to screenplays - as John kept swapping industries just before they noticed the missing Post-It Notes.Maybe If I Changed The Font? is packed with invaluable advice on structure, character, theme as well as guidance on how to get your work read by professionals and produced to great acclaim from millions - or maybe just several members of your family - you never know which way it's going to go. But you must read this book before you start - it's the perfect avoidance.'The most honest book about writing I have ever read' William Shakespeare

Some Things I Learned Writing Every Genre Except Poetry and Panto

Maybe If I Changed The Font?

"An astounding achievement." --Megha Majumdar, bestselling author of A Burning "Her best book yet." --Paul Yoon, award-winning author of Run Me to Earth From the bestselling author of Mary Coin comes a rich family saga set in midcentury America centered on two fierce and competitive matriarchs whose intertwined lives reflect the complexities of family, tradition, and personal ambition, told with "Silver's signature combination of toughness and grace" (Laird Hunt, bestselling author of Zorrie).Helene Simonauer and Evelyn Turner are two formidable women whose paths cross when their children marry. Both women are sharp, cunning, and unwavering in their conflicting beliefs about marriage, responsibility, and family and, most pressingly, their efforts to vie for the love of their shared granddaughter. Weaving together the lives of Helene and Evelyn--from their vastly different childhoods through the pivotal events that define them--At Last paints a vivid portrait of the American Midwest, capturing the essence of a time and place where societal norms and personal aspirations often clashed. Both intimate and expansive while capturing the complexities of ambition and love with humor and insight, At Last is a testament to what happens when an unintended, even unwanted relationship turns out to be a central one that defines a life.

At Last

Emily Austin, the bestselling “queen of darkly quirky, endearingly flawed heroines” (Sarah Haywood, author of The Cactus), returns with a luminous new novel following a librarian who comes back to work after a mental breakdown only to confront book-banning crusaders in an empowering story of grief, love, and the power of libraries. Darcy’s life turned out better than she could have ever imagined. She is a librarian at the local branch, while her wife Joy runs a book binding service. Between the two of them, there is no more room on their shelves with their ample book collections, various knickknacks and bobbles, and dried bouquets. Rounding out their ideal life is two cats and a sun-soaked house by the lake. But when Darcy receives the news that her ex-boyfriend, Ben, has passed away, she spirals into a pit of guilt and regret, resulting in a mental breakdown and medical leave from the library. When she returns to work, she is met by unrest in her community and protests surrounding intellectual freedom, resulting in a call for book bans and a second look at the branch’s upcoming DEI programs. Through the support of her community, colleagues, and the personal growth that results from examining her previous relationships, Darcy comes into her own agency and the truest version of herself. Is This a Cry for Help? not only offers a moving portrait of queer life after coming of age but also powerfully explores questions about sexuality, community, and the importance of libraries.

Is This a Cry for Help?

Little Clothbound Classics

Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas, and essays from the world’s greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. In these elegant and devastating tales of deception, desire, and social intrigue, Edith Wharton exposes the brittle veneer of civility that masks human ambition and longing. From the sunlit terraces of Rome to the drawing rooms of New York, Wharton’s characters navigate a world bound by class and convention yet charged with emotional undercurrents they barely understand. In “Roman Fever,” two middle-aged women confront the unspoken rivalries that have shadowed their friendship for decades; in “Mrs. Manstey’s View,” a lonely widow’s cherished glimpse of life beyond her window becomes the stage for a quiet tragedy; and in “After Holbein,” the elaborate pretenses of two aging New Yorkers reveal the haunting persistence of vanity and illusion. These Wharton works are the latest to join the Little Clothbound Classic series designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith.

Roman Fever

The latest novel from the winner of the 2021 European Union Prize for Literature.

Teddý lives with her parents on a farm in the Icelandic wilderness. It's 1962, and the world is changing, although you wouldn't know it from the stark quiet of the lava fields and mountains that mark the boundaries of the young woman's existence. But after two chance encounters, Teddý's dreams of a world beyond begin to crystallise, albeit in strange and unexpected ways, as we follow one woman's life over five decades, from farm to city to the skies. Taking us from the grandeur of rural Iceland to the glossy, sticky world of 1970s air travel, via check fraud, thwarted ambition and lost astronauts, Boudoir is a novel about reinvention, dislocation, and the forceful gravity of the lives and selves we think we've left behind.

Boudoir

Fünf Leben, in denen sich die jüngste europäische Geschichte widerspiegelt

Bosnien Anfang der 90er. Fünf Personen treten vor die Bühne: Zwei Bosniaken, zwei Serben und eine Kroatin. Eindrucksvoll erzählen sie von der Tragik, dem Zauber und den Sehnsüchten in ihrer Heimat. Dabei kreisen ihre Gedanken stets um Familien, um Liebe und ums Überleben. 
"Senada oder Der Tag trägt die Last" vereint diese fünf bewegenden Novellen, die von vielschichtigen Lebensschicksalen aus dem ehemaligen Jugoslawien erzählen. Mit eindringlicher Kraft und sprachlicher Präzision gelingt es Karsten Dümmel, individuelle Erfahrungen von Krieg, Flucht, Verlust und Identität zusammenzuführen und dem Unsagbaren eine Stimme zu geben. Zwischen Zerbrechlichkeit und Widerstandskraft ensteht so ein Raum für Erinnerung und Mitgefühl. Ein Buch, das Brücken schlagen kann und dem Vergessen mutig entgegentritt.

Senada oder Der Tag trägt die Last

PREMIO CLARÍN DE NOVELA «Una novela actual y misteriosa, en la tradición del weird y con citas a Arthur Machen, Lovecraft o Chambers, con algo de terror ecológico y una notable reconstrucción histórica'. -Mariana Enriquez Hay algo vivo e inclasificable que recorre el planeta Tierra desde su creación y parece capaz de sobrevivirlo. Se extiende bajo la superficie y emerge como una planta fantástica, en múltiples sentidos. De ella darán testimonio los distintos narradores de la novela -cuyas voces se escuchan en 1504, 1888, 1945- y el arco temporal de un futuro que solo la literatura puede imaginar. Una y otra vez, mientras la humanidad crece y se piensa, el bionte, este organismo que aterra pero que también refugia, será un espejo del devenir histórico bajo el horror de su idea de progreso. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION CLARÍN NOVEL PRIZE &gt;There is something alive and unclassifiable that has coursed through planet Earth since its creation--and seems capable of outliving it. It spreads beneath the surface and emerges like a fantastic plant, in every sense of the word. Its existence is recounted by the novel's different narrators--voices that speak from 1504, 1888, and 1945--and through the temporal arc of a future that only literature can imagine. Time and again, as humanity grows and reflects upon itself, the biont--this organism that both terrifies and shelters--becomes a mirror of historical evolution, shadowed by the horror of its own idea of progress.

Ariadne Literaturbibliothek

Bei Doris Gercke, Grande Dame des politischen Kriminalromans, waren Fiktion und Realität eng miteinander verschlungen. Die Arbeit an Texten hat sie so sehr geliebt wie das Lesen und hätte gern noch mehr geschrieben, wir gern mehr verlegt, doch zuletzt fehlte ihr die Zeit. Ihre verbliebenen paar Texte gab sie uns kurz vor dem Tod: ein Hefter, teils handschriftlich, betitelt mit den Worten Von den Bewohnern der Städte. Es sind kurze Szenen, einige Prosagedichte, auch drei Geschichten dabei. Ihr finsterer Realismus, nüchtern und unbotmäßig, nie humor- oder zahnlos, schimmert in allen Formen durch, der vertraute, entschiedene Ton hallt nach.

Von den Bewohnern der Städte

One week. No drama. And absolutely no dating each other. After graduating college, five friends make a pact. Every summer, they’ll meet for one week at the same beach house on the California coast to relive the golden days of college. There’s just one rule: no dating within the group. Simple enough, except Everett and Sutton already broke the rule before summer even began… and couldn’t seem to stop. What started as a one-time fling turned into an annual habit neither of them could quit, until the night everything fell apart. Five years later, Sutton has no interest in seeing Everett ever again. Until one of their friends, newly divorced and looking for an escape, calls everyone back to the beach house. She expects awkward silences and forced smiles, but nothing could prepare her for Everett--still infuriating, still magnetic, and still capable of unraveling her with a single glance. As the week stretches on and every re-lived tradition, shared meal and outing bring a flood of sun-soaked memories that feed the spark between her and Everett, Sutton begins to wonder if the promise that broke them apart was worth keeping in the first place… and if breaking it again will ruin the delicate balance their friend group has finally started to reclaim. Perfect for fans of: <ul> <li>Second-chance romance</li> <li>Friends to enemies to lovers</li> <li>Forbidden love</li> <li>Forced proximity</li> <li>Found family</li> <li>Dual narratives &amp; Single POV</li></ul> &nbsp;

Summer People

The Dog Park Murders

A cozy, seasonal romance-mystery in which a grumpy café owner teams up with a sunshiny pet groomer to solve a murder that's shocked the small town of Labrador Falls. First book in the Dog Park Murders miniseries that's a perfect blend of Only Murders in the Building and The Pumpkin Spice Café. A killer has been unleashed in their small town… Juliette Macintyre has never met a dog she didn’t love. For one thing, dogs don’t judge, unlike the human residents of Labrador Falls. Most locals look at her with suspicion because her father was once a dirty cop, even though Juliette is upbeat, helpful, and the best pet groomer around. She just needs to prove it…starting with new resident Joel Cunningham, an enigma wrapped in a checked shirt and a scowl. Joel runs the Brewed Awakening café, where the coffee is as smooth as Joel is surly. He doesn’t serve pumpkin spice, he doesn’t chitchat, and he claims he doesn’t like dogs. Yet when Juliette stumbles upon a dead body in the dog park, strangled with one of her custom leashes, Joel becomes an unexpected ally. He has no intention of opening up, to either his cute neighbor or the foster pup she foists on him. But he can’t let a biased detective frame Juliette for murder. Whoever killed the widely loathed Maurice Allsop may be desperate enough to strike again. If they can just ignore their chemistry and focus on the clues, Juliette and Joel might be able to solve the case—before somebody else bites the dust… For fans of... <ul> <li>Grumpy/Sunshine Romance</li> <li>Small-Town Cozy Mystery</li> <li>Amateur Sleuths</li> <li>Twisty-Turny Whodunits</li> <li>Pet Sidekicks</li></ul> "With an endearing cast, a charming small town, and two highly likable main leads, THE DOG PARK MURDERS provides a light, cozy mystery that hits all the right notes, especially for dog lovers!"&nbsp; —Fresh Fiction

A Grumpy Sunshine Cozy Mystery Romance

Jeremy Cooper, the author of Brian, returns with Discord, a subjective journey through the world of classical music. On a night in August, an audience at the Royal Albert Hall attends the first ever concert of Distant Voices. The Proms performance is the culmination of a year's work between the middle-aged composer Rebekah Rosen and the young star-saxophonist Evie Bennet. Alternating between both perspectives, Discord charts the course of their intense and at times fractious relationship, the resonances and dissonances both women find within one another, as well as the struggles and satisfactions that accompany an artistic life. At the heart of the novel is an inquiry into the generative force behind creative collaboration. In what ways does the inexpressible - that amorphous space of friction and unity between musicians - become indelible? And by what process do flawed individuals create works of transcendence? Deeply insightful, at turns poignant and wry, Discord affirms Jeremy Cooper's status as one of the most interesting fiction writers at work today.
