Hairspray

A Screenplay

The powerful and evocative story of a young West Indian man's search for home in 1960s London - by the multi-award-winning author dubbed 'one of the literary giants of our time' (New York Times) **A Guardian book to look forward to in 2025** 'A masterful stylist writing at the top of his powers' Anthony Joseph 'An engrossing, artfully constructed chronicle of lives tragically unfulfilled' Mail on Sunday 'A remarkable achievement' Washington Post 'A moving, accomplished study of the vulnerabilities carried and concealed by human beings on their journeys throughout the world' Financial Times ____________________________________________ In the early Sixties, Victor 'Lucky' Johnson arrives in London from St Kitts, with dreams of becoming a journalist. Lucky soon finds work first at an Irish pub in Notting Hill - then as a rent collector for an unscrupulous slum landlord Peter Feldman. Shadowing Lucky from his early struggles in London to the present day, Caryl Phillips paints a striking portrait of a flawed but vividly alive man grappling with the lifelong disillusionments of exile - and the uniquely complicated identity of the Windrush generation. Another Man in the Street is an unforgettable story of loss, displacement, belonging, and the triumph of Black resilience - epic in scope and yet profoundly intimate; and a radical and timely portrait of immigrant London. ___________________________________________________ Praise for Caryl Phillips 'One of Britain's pre-eminent writers' Guardian 'One of the literary giants of our time' New York Times 'Phillips is a linguistic and cultural virtuoso' The Times

Another Man in the Street

Expert guidance for navigating the difficult new issues around free speech rights in higher education &nbsp; In their earlier book, Free Speech on Campus, Erwin Chemerinsky and Howard Gillman argued that colleges and universities should permit the expression of the widest possible range of views. Nearly ten tumultuous years later, many issues have arisen that this simple principle does not adequately address. To what extent must an institution provide expensive security for extremely controversial speakers? Should colleges and universities defend faculty, students, or administrators who find themselves the victims of social media firestorms? How should they handle the expression of controversial views or the use of offensive language in classrooms? May academic departments or other administrative units—or an entire school—take positions on controversial political issues? What rules should exist around campus protests or disruptive activities? How should we assess government efforts to control faculty speech or curricular choices? In Campus Speech and Academic Freedom, two law professors and university administrators who have confronted these questions for years draw on their extensive real-world experience to help campus leaders, campus communities, government officials, and the public better understand and address the contentious issues surrounding campus speech.

Paper Cut

Frank Money hat den Koreakrieg überlebt – als Einziger von drei Freiwilligen aus Lotus, Georgia. Nun findet er sich im segregierten, rassistischen Amerika der 1950er-Jahre wieder: getrennte Restaurants, Hotels, Waschräume und Drangsalierungen durch die Polizei. Dann erreicht ihn die Nachricht, dass seine geliebte kleine Schwester Cee sich in großer Gefahr befindet. Obwohl er nie mehr nach Lotus zurückwollte, muss er in seinen Heimatort reisen, zu seinem Elternhaus, wo bittere Geheimnisse ans Tageslicht kommen und wo er lernen wird, was es braucht, um zu heilen. Und was es bedeutet, nach Hause zu kommen.

'The best book on "story" that I have ever read' Jimmy McGovern 'A masterpiece . . . genius - funny and wise and occasionally profound' Billy Ivory A masterclass in telling stories - and how they shape our world - from the internationally renowned narrative expert To command narrative is to control a sometimes frightening power. What is it that turbocharges some tales, and how is it possible to harness that potency? John Yorke has revolutionised our understanding of story structure. In this new book he delves deeper - into how to put that structure to work in the world. Trip to the Moon takes us on a journey not just through drama and fiction but through politics, religion and non-western narrative, to seek out the role of story in all our lives, examining how to utilise its lessons to create life-changing tales - and, in a world aflame with conspiracy theories, to guard ourselves against their darker purpose too. Revealing the artful symmetry and underlying principles that connect Summer beach reads to Classical Chinese poetry, superhero flicks to Russian arthouse, and classical rhetoric to state propaganda, Yorke makes dazzling connections that show how stories have the power to transfigure the chaos of our existence into a new equilibrium, and make the world anew.

Understanding the True Power Of Story

Trip to the Moon

Sarah thought she married an ambitious entrepreneur.Instead, she married a man who spent grocery money on Bitcoin in 2015, turned their garage into a crypto mining operation, and eventually launched a cryptocurrency called: Shiny Heffers Investment Token aka: SHITWhile the rest of the world called crypto a scam, Michael-better known online as "Money Mike"-became obsessed with blockchain technology, meme coins, NFTs, and the dream of financial freedom. Over the next decade, Sarah watches her husband survive brutal bear markets, launch ridiculous businesses, argue with strangers on crypto Twitter at 3AM, and repeatedly scream phrases like: "BABE, THIS IS A SUPER CYCLE!"As Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Binance, NFTs, and the entire crypto industry explode into mainstream culture, Michael risks everything building his strange little project: ShinyHeffers.ioWhat starts as a joke slowly becomes something bigger than either of them imagined.Told through the sarcastic, brutally honest perspective of a wife who is absolutely convinced her husband is losing his mind, My Husband Is a Shiny Heffers Crypto Chad is a hilarious and surprisingly emotional story about: <ul><li>marriage, </li><li>obsession, </li><li>internet culture, </li><li>financial chaos, </li><li>failure, </li><li>persistence, </li><li>and what happens when the person everyone laughs at refuses to quit.</li></ul>Perfect for fans of: <ul><li>crypto humor, </li><li>dark comedy, </li><li>entrepreneurial stories, </li><li>meme culture, </li><li>and anyone who has ever watched their spouse make a terrible financial decision and somehow survive it.</li></ul>Because sometimes the line between delusion and genius is just one bull run away.

An urgent rethinking of the Western approach to mental health, which treats the symptoms rather than the exploitative systems causing our distress—by a Rhodes Scholar and Harvard Medical School physician-anthropologist—offering lessons from the rest of the world. What if the mainstay of mental health care involved cancelling onerous debt, giving poor people free housing, and paying reparations to the descendants of slavery and colonialism? In Empire of Madness, Dr. Khameer Kidia re-evaluates the Western approach to mental health, which medicates symptoms instead of changing the structures that harm the human psyche. A physician and researcher whose own family suffers from the psychological effects of colonialism, Kidia highlights the limitations of the Western mental health model by reporting from the front lines of mental health crises at home, in the clinic, and during a decade of fieldwork. Clear-eyed and openhearted, Kidia asks the nuanced questions unaddressed by our current mental health model: How do history, culture, and politics shape mental distress? Are hoarding and burnout medical diagnoses or social problems? Why are schizophrenia outcomes sometimes better in poor countries without antipsychotics? Can a traditional healer treat mental illness better than a Western-trained clinician? For those living in poverty, can cash replace pills? With rigorous research, cutting analysis, and illuminating prose, Kidia invites us to reimagine mental health as a global idea where our wellbeing is mutual and everyone’s voice—patients, caregivers, and healthcare workers alike—matters.

Reimagining Western Mental Health Care for Everyone

Empire of Madness

The real political mission of Malcolm X, and why it needs resurrecting now - 100 years after his birth Malcolm X is a titanic figure in political history, but he is also one of the most misunderstood. So much of what we know about his life and politics is from books, films and documentaries that are all guilty of peddling the Malcolm myth for their own nefarious interests. Forever known as the violent Yang to Martin Luther King's Yin, in the years since his death he has been co-opted into the American project, punished by his enemies for his radicalism, and marginalised by decades of governments, academics and activists. But here, for the first time, Malcolm is rediscovered. On the centenary of his birthday, in a world shaken by decades of injustice and racism, Malcolm's political mission is more urgent than ever. In Nobody Can Give You Freedom, Kehinde Andrews reveals his real revolutionary programme. Malcolm's activism was his philosophy, and paying attention to it reveals the true cultural icon - who, if he were alive today, would tell us to pick up the mantle, and overturn this wicked system for good.

The untold story of the women who debunked the Warren Report—a “captivating and impressively researched” (The New Yorker) history of obsession, heartbreak, and the myth of the great American century “A ghostly past brought brimmingly, engrossingly to life . . . a social history of novelistic propulsion with fanatical documentation and a sympathetic understanding of what drives the driven.”—The New York Times “Kaitlyn Tiffany masterfully unspools a hidden history of the Kennedy assassination and its aftermath.”—Liza Mundy, New York Times bestselling author of Code Girls and The Sisterhood In the winter of 1967, the official account of the Kennedy assassination was beginning to unravel. A scattered group of Americans had pointed to major problems with the report prepared by President Johnson’s handpicked Warren Commission. Many of the most serious criticisms of the government’s work came from a source that surprised some: women who, within the community of critics, outnumbered the men two to one. Politicians and reporters dismissed these women, referring to them as “scavengers” and suggesting they were eccentrics with murder-mystery fixations or crushes on the deceased President Kennedy. But in The Housewives Underground, Kaitlyn Tiffany resurrects the story of Maggie Field, Shirley Martin, and Sylvia Meagher, whose collaboration and friendship reshaped both their own lives and our national memory. Field hosted screenings of the Zapruder film and raised money to pursue new leads. Martin traveled frequently to Dallas, enlisted her children to help interview witnesses, and irritated J. Edgar Hoover with her “antagonistic” attitude toward the FBI. And at the center of the story is Sylvia Meagher—a born-and-raised New Yorker who was devoted to the ballet and the Mets, cultivated fierce friendships and firm grudges, and dedicated twenty-five years to her conviction that the whole truth of JFK’s assassination had not been told. Painstakingly researched and engrossing, The Housewives Underground takes readers back to the turbulent 1960s and 1970s—a time when Americans’ belief in their government was eroding—introducing readers to the so-called housewives who asked the first, hardest questions about one of the most shocking events in American history.

The Untold Story of the Women Who Made the JFK Assassination Our Most Enduring Mystery

The Housewives Underground

“You’re trying to straighten out a wiggly world—no wonder you’re in trouble.” —Alan Watts In an age when all knowledge is at our fingertips, Alan Watts reminds us that wisdom is something else entirely. He invites us to rediscover the vitality, spontaneity, and deep unity that underlies everything. Alan Watts was not just a philosopher and entertainer; he was a bridge between worlds. Drawing from the spiritual traditions of both East and West, Watts illuminated ancient truths in language that is reverently irreverent and still remarkably fresh and clear half a century later.&nbsp;&nbsp; Originally published in 1977 as The Essence of Alan Watts, this collection is based on Watts’ acclaimed 1971 television series and includes, for the first time, the original introductory talk from the show.&nbsp; With characteristic humor and sharp insight, Watts explores existential questions about topics like God, ego, and death alongside practical dilemmas like meditation and our relationship with time, work, and play, challenging our most basic assumptions about language, self, and reality.&nbsp; This is not a book of instructions or dogma, but a provocative call to wake up—a timeless voice reminding us that the wisdom we seek is not somewhere else, but already within us. Whether you’re new to Alan Watts or revisiting his work to learn how his teachings speak to the challenges of today, this collection distills his most powerful ideas into one accessible volume that can reconnect you with the deep simplicity at the heart of life—not as a concept, but as an experience. It is an invitation to meet the world with curiosity, to play with ideas, and to remember the wisdom that is always available to us in the present moment.

Drawing on extensive inter­views with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, Powers takes readers to rural Canada, charts the course of Mitchell's musical evolution, follows the winding road of Mitchell's collaborations with other greats and explores the loves that fed her songwriting.Kaleidoscopic in scope and intimate in detail, Travellingis a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell corpus - and one that questions whether an artist can ever truly be known to their fans.
