Gracias N: Trois nouvelles désinvoltes

Trois nouvelles désinvoltes

"A glamorous, intriguing novel" (New York Times) about a jaded movie star and the two differently conflicted women in his orbit.Some people you meet them and you imagine this movie together. The two of you make a kind of movie and then it’s over. Other people, what you imagine isn’t a movie, because it keeps going. It’s television . . . If you can’t see how romantic television is, you’re blind.An aging, A-list movie star lotteries off the entirety of his mega-million blockbuster salary to a member of the general viewing public before taking up with a much younger model. His non-famous best friend (and often lover) looks on impassively, while recollecting their twenty-odd years of unlikely connection. And an aspiring filmmaker, unknown to them both, labors over a script about best friends and lovers while longing for the financial freedom to make great art.Told in their alternating, intricately linked perspectives, Television is a funny, philosophically astute novel about phenomenal luck, whether windfall or chance encounter. Like Joan Didion’s classic Play It as It Lays, but speaking to a since irrevocably changed Hollywood, it portrays a culture in crisis and the disparities in wealth, beauty, talent, gender, and youth at the heart of contemporary American life. In this glittering but strange new world, lit up by social media and streaming services—what, if not love, can be counted in your favor?With plays in chronology, bright, nimble dialogue, and a profoundly modern style, Lauren Rothery’s debut novel is an arresting feat of literary impressionism, and marks the arrival of a significant new talent to the landscape of American fiction.

"Du bist wirklich cringe!" - Wenn Kinder ihren Müttern den Spiegel vorhalten, wird es Zeit für einen ehrlichen Blick auf
den Familienalltag. Zwei langjährige Freundinnen nehmen Sie mit auf ihre Reise von "taffen Frauen" zu "Mamamonstern". Mit einer
gehörigen Portion Humor erzählen sie von gescheiterten Erziehungsratschlägen, chaotischen Morgenstunden und der
Erkenntnis: Manchmal ist es besser zu wissen, wie man es NICHT macht! Dieser Anti-Ratgeber räumt auf mit perfekten Vorstellungen und zeigt: Das wahre Leben mit Kindern folgt keinem
Handbuch. Eine Geschichte über Freundschaft, Muttersein und die Kunst, über sich selbst zu lachen.

'The challenge is to separate dangerous reality from paranoia in this unsettling, pulse-racing tale' Louise Candlish*****Who is watching Nell Masters?Nell Masters is certain someone is following her. The hairs on the back of her neck rise when she travels to and from work, there are silent calls to her office, and a huge bouquet of flowers arrives without a card. And Nell has a reason to be looking over her shoulder, because she has a secret that she's hiding from everyone in her life, including her new partner, Alex. But Alex also has secrets of his own.Fourteen years earlier, when Nell went by the name Elle Nugent, she witnessed a student, Bryony Sanders, getting into a stranger's car. When Bryony was found murdered, Elle became obsessed with finding the person responsible. She was convinced she knew who it was and her fixation with Brett Parker, the man she accused, led her down a dangerous path ...Now, Nell tries to convince herself that this unnerving feeling of being watched is all in her mind. Has someone from her past discovered her new identity? Has the stalker become the stalked? Or is there something even more deadly at play?*****Praise for B A Paris:'A mesmeric, tense and twisting nightmare.

When I Kill You

Run For It

An unforgettable debut,&nbsp;For Human Use&nbsp;is a twisted tale of modern love that bends every genre, sears itself into your brain, and presents a horrific romantic comedy unlike anything you’ve ever read before. ★ "An utterly ingenious horror-romcom, darkly zeitgeisty, and unnervingly plausible—funny as&nbsp;hell, too. You will not forget this book." ―Heather Aimee O'Neill, author of Read With Jenna book club pick The Irish Goodbye Modern dating is dead. Finding a human connection online has become impossible. Enter Liv: a dating app that matches people with dead bodies. Somehow, it has taken the world by storm. Millions of users are convinced that life with a corpse presents a better alternative to conventional relationships.&nbsp; Flailing against Liv’s popularity, venture capital superstar Tom Williamson—whose company is funding Liv—isn’t buying it. Mostly because dating an embalmed cadaver, let alone monetizing it, is obscene. Believing that Liv is the future, Auden White, the insufferable “visionary” behind the app begins demanding more and more funding, quickly making enemies with Tom. It's no secret that Tom struggles with people, dead or alive, but when he has a chance meeting with the woman who knows Auden (and his secrets) best, Mara Reed, he realizes everything is about to change for all three of them. With Liv’s userbase growing by the day, the need for cadavers rapidly increases. Humanity might not want to connect with other living, breathing people anymore, but they do want to connect with&nbsp;something. What could go wrong? ★&nbsp;&nbsp;“A wildly entertaining debut. Sarah G. Pierce cleverly skewers our modern era of disconnection and corporate overreach. But amid the horror and humor there is a deeply human love story at the heart of this book.” ―E.K Sathue, author of Youthjuice ★ "A razor-sharp satire of venture capitalism, online influence culture, and The Discourse, Pierce holds a mirror to an all-too familiar reality where the unthinkable becomes thinkable if there's profit to be made and prestige to be gained. A human romance in a world gasping for human connection, this one goes places!" ―Bitter Karella, author of Moonflow

Was sie sagen. Was sie meinen. Was sie verschweigen. Eine entlarvende Erwiderung

Rechts – Deutsch / Deutsch – Rechts

Woran erkennt man in Deutschland, dass man reich ist? Die CDU will einen entlasten. Wer ist davon überzeugt, dass sich Frauen in Großstädten nicht mehr vor die Tür trauen? Männer in Kleinstädten. Katja Berlins satirische Grafiken scheinen pointierte Witze zu sein, enthalten aber stets eine bittere Wahrheit. 
So sind es nicht etwa die glücklichsten Menschen der Welt, die überzeugt sind, das einzig richtige Leben zu führen, sondern wütende Leute auf Social Media. Karriere und Familie kann man in Deutschland natürlich vereinbaren - wenn sich die Ehefrau um alles kümmert. Und überdurchschnittlich gefördert werden bei uns nicht die Kinder, sondern die fossilen Energieträger. 
Als Kolumne mit dem Titel 'Torten der Wahrheit' erscheinen die gesellschaftskritischen Grafiken schon seit 2015 in der ZEIT. Woche für Woche legt Katja Berlin den Finger in die Wunde eines an Sozialabbau, Frauenfeindlichkeit, Klimaignoranz und Politikversagen erkrankten Landes. Im Netz gehen viele ihrer Grafiken viral. Wann eine Idee für gut befunden wird ist der neueste Sammelband mit Katja Berlins beliebten satirischen Infografiken für alle, denen soziale Gerechtigkeit, Gleichberechtigung, eine lebenswerte Zukunft in unserem Land und auf unserem Planeten am Herzen liegen.

“Deliciously vicious and unsettlingly hilarious, Cruelty Free is a nasty, thrilling Hollywood take-down for the ages.” —JENNIFER THORNE, author of DiavolaA disgraced movie star returns to Hollywood 10 years after the kidnapping of her young daughter intent on seeking revenge, for fans of Monika Kim and Rachel Yoder.NOTHING FEELS BETTER THAN REVENGE.Ten years ago, Lila Devlin was an A-list actress with a movie star husband and a beautiful baby girl, Josie. When Josie was kidnapped out of her home and never seen again, Lila’s previously pristine public image twisted into that of an Unfit Mother. Driven mad by the hungry press, incompetent cops, and relentless true crime–obsessed “fans,” she disappeared into anonymity.&nbsp;Now, Lila Devlin returns to LA with a grand vision for a radical new skincare brand to reinvent herself and honor Josie’s legacy. She's prepared to move into the next chapter of her life with forgiveness in her heart, when an encounter with a parasitic blogger ends with him dead. Lila suddenly discovers forgiveness isn’t nearly as satisfying as a body hitting the floor.With the help of her devoted publicist Sylvie, Lila begins a relentless, blood-soaked hunt through LA. Giving her skincare the edge it needs, they introduce a secret ingredient—revenge-sourced—from the bodies piling up. But as the company’s success skyrockets and Lila begins unraveling the truth behind her daughter’s kidnapping, her murderous side hustle threatens the life she’s painstakingly rebuilt.Both a striking portrayal of grief and womanhood, and a twisting, cynical satire on celebrity and toxic beauty standards,&nbsp;Cruelty Free&nbsp;is an ambitious debut from a talented star on the rise.&nbsp;“Wildly twisted, razor-sharp, and ultimately heartbreaking, Cruelty Free is as much a novel about the fullness of grief as it is about the hollowness of vengeance." —LING LING HUANG, author of Natural Beauty
