    The Dancer is a simple story of a young woman in love, a young woman who is trying to find out who she is. While the story is simple, the manner in which it unfolds is anything but. And sometimes, the ride is so wild, it has everyone, including the author, hanging on to their seats. The Dancer starts on the stage, and that’s where it ends. In between, it goes to the beach, to an artist’s studio, to a native village. We come to understand that the artist’s studio and native village are other worlds. Will the dancer find true love?

From Styron’s youth and precocious literary debut to the triumphs of his best-known books and on through his spiral into depression, Reading My Father portrays the epic sweep of an American artist’s life. It is also a tale of filial love, beautifully written with humor, compassion, and grace. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexandra Styron.

    A celebrated performance artist’s mesmerizing riffs on sex in American politics.Based on her widely praised performance piece Unicorn Gratitude Mystery ("Wickedly funny", as described by The New York Times), Karen Finley’s Grabbing Pussy explores the Shakespearean dynamics that surface when libidos and loyalties clash in the public and private personas of Donald Trump, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner, and now Harvey Weinstein.Standing in the tradition of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl, Finley’s words jolt the listener into new insights about the ways the darkly private can drive the public realm in dizzying twists and turns.

    Twentieth-Century Boy: Notebooks of the Seventies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 850min
    Celebrated painter Duncan Hannah arrived in New York City from Minneapolis in the early 1970s as an art student hungry for experience, game for almost anything, and with a prodigious taste for drugs, girls, alcohol, movies, rock and roll, books, parties, and everything else the city had to offer. Taken directly from the notebooks Hannah kept throughout the decade, Twentieth-Century Boy is a fascinating, sometimes lurid, and incredibly entertaining report from a now almost mythical time and place. Full of outrageously bad behavior, naked ambition, fantastically good music, and evaporating barriers of taste and decorum, and featuring cameos from David Bowie, Andy Warhol, Patti Smith, and many more, it is a rollicking account of an artist’s coming of age. ungekürzt.
