You'll be wincing in recognition and scratching your head in incredulity, but like Marian herself you won't be able to stop laughing at the sheer delightful absurdity that is modern life - because each and every one of us is clearly making it up as we go along. She has wonderful and tickling words of advice for those fast approaching 50.

Story72
Dismissed by a bored author at a book signing, a betrayed young man named David Sedaris made a vow. Someday, when it was his turn at the table, he’d connect with his readers. The experience has been even more revealing than he’d hoped.In this hilarious and perceptive essay, the celebrated humorist reflects on the unusual patterns of forced socialization between author and audience, and the obligations and sometimes surprising returns of not-so-chance encounters with strangers: jokes, secrets, insights, and even charity.

Story48
The final and most personal work from Pulitzer Prize - winning author and historian Will Durant - discovered 32 years after his death - is a message of insight for everyone who has sought meaning in life or the council of a wise friend in navigating life's journey. From 1968 to 1978, Will Durant made four public allusions to the existence of Fallen Leaves. One, in 1975, hinted at its contents: "a not very serious book that answers the questions of what I think about government, life, death, and God."

In recounting his patients' dilemmas, Yalom not only gives us a rare and enthralling glimpse into their personal desires and motivations but also tells us his own story as he struggles to reconcile his all-too-human responses with his sensibility as a psychiatrist.

This is a war, she says, "[W]ith so many casualties that we should call it by its true name, this war with so many dead by police, by violent ex-husbands and partners and lovers, by people pursuing power and profit at the point of a gun or just shooting first and figuring out who they hit later."

Story74
Every memoir is a battle between reality and invention - but in her follow up to Clothes, Clothes, Clothes. Music, Music, Music. Boys, Boys, Boys., Viv Albertine has reinvented the genre with her unflinching honesty. To Throw Away Unopened is a fearless dissection of one woman's obsession with the truth - the truth about family, power and her identity as a rebel and outsider. It is a gaping wound of a book, both an exercise in bloodletting and psychological archaeology, excavating what lies beneath: the fear, the loneliness, the anger.

“A faithful translation is rare; a translation which preserves intact the original text is very rare; a perfect translation of Montaigne appears impossible. Yet Donald Frame has realized this feat. One does not seem to be reading a translation, so smooth and easy is the style; at each moment, one seems to be listening to Montaigne himself - the freshness of his ideas, the unexpected choice of words. Frame has kept everything.” (Andre Maurois, The New York Times Book Review)

Horror movies hold a complicated space in the queer community: historically misogynist, and often homo- and transphobic, the genre has also been inadvertently feminist and open to subversive readings. It Came from the Closet features twenty-five original essays by writers speaking to this relationship, through connections both empowering and oppressive. From Carmen Maria Machado on Jennifer’s Body, Jude Ellison S. Doyle on In My Skin, Addie Tsai on Dead Ringers, and many more, these conversations convey the rich reciprocity between queerness and horror.

Including profound meditations on the rhythm of life on Oxford Street and the consumerism that drives it, vivid descriptions of the epic cathedrals that pave the streets and the place of religion in contemporary society, and an intimate sketch of a charming woman who is a Londoner to her core, these eloquent snapshots of the city are told with Woolf’s trademark intimacy and self-awareness.

Darin stellt Orwell fest, dass die zeitgenössische Literatur bis auf einzelne Lichtblicke wie Henry Miller faktisch ohne Bedeutung ist. In einer aufgeheizten gesellschaftlichen Atmosphäre, innerhalb derer national orientierte Politiker „ihren" jeweiligen Völkern eine jeweils großartige Zukunft versprechen und die autoritären Strukturen immer mehr Anhänger begeistern, sind die Voraussetzungen für das mögliche Ende der westlichen zivilisierten Welt natürlich optimal.

In Salvador Dalí wirft Orwell einen Blick auf Dalís Biografie, welche man auch als „Geständnisse eines perversen Wahnsinnigen" beschreiben könnte, weil darin von allen menschenmöglichen Verbrechen, Schandtaten und moralisch höchst verwerflichen Dingen die Rede ist, die Dalí für seine Person der Vergangenheit beansprucht. Es bleibt offen, ob diese makabere Beichte den Tatsachen entspricht oder ob hier ein Selbstvermarktungs- und Marketinggenie zu Werke ging – jedenfalls hat es sich überaus gut verkauft.

Darin versucht Orwell ein Gesellschaftsmodell zu skizzieren, das es selbst als „demokratischen Sozialismus" bezeichnet, in welchem Schablonendenken innerhalb der überholten Links-Rechts-Symbolik keine Rolle mehr spielt und jeder Bürger unabhängig von Begleitumständen seiner Geburt die gleichen Chancen und Bildungsmöglichkeiten erhält. Dieser wünschenswerte Zustand soll laut Orwell durch eine teilweise Verstaatlichung gewisser Wirtschaftsbereiche und eine Begrenzung der Menge an privatem Besitzeigentum umgesetzt werden.

Er besuchte Schulen in Indien und England, beherrschte mindestens zwei gebräuchliche Sprachen Indiens, arbeitete in diversen Gelegenheitsjobs, trieb sich als Landstreicher in England herum, studierte unter Aldous Huxley, verdiente sich seinen Lebensunterhalt als Polizist in Indien, nahm am spanischen Bürgerkrieg als Freiwilliger auf Seite der Republikaner teil und arbeitete Seite an Seite mit Ernest Hemingway als Kriegsberichterstatter.

Darin schildert Orwell seine Erfahrungen aus dem spanischen Krieg und spannt den Bogen zur sogenannten „objektiven Wahrheit", welche in ziemlich vielen Varianten zu existieren scheint. Des Weiteren stellt er anhand zahlreicher Beispiele aus der Praxis fest, dass die spanischen Freiheitskämpfer keinerlei Waffenlieferungen aus den demokratischen Staaten als Unterstützung bekommen haben, während die faschistischen Franco-Truppen mit Kriegsgerät aus Nazi-Deutschland und Nazi-Italien unterstützt wurden und deshalb den Sieg davontrugen.

In Raffles und Miss Blandish untersucht Orwell das gerade in der Bücher- und Filmwelt aufkommende Phänomen des sympathischen Gentleman-Verbrechertyps, der Romantisierung von Kriminalität und die Glorifizierung des Prinzips „Die Macht des Stärkeren". Dabei spielt es keine Rolle, wer die Verbrechen verübt, da der Staat genauso korrupt und kriminell agiert wie das organisierte Verbrechen, also im Prinzip der Erfolg alle Mittel rechtfertigt.

Einen großen Teil seiner prosaischen Werke bilden seine Essays ab, hier Teil 13. Dabei stehen Comics und deren Humor im Vordergrund, wobei ein großer Bogen vom Postkartenwitz, gekennzeichnet durch Brüller und Kalauer, welche die Monotonie der staatlich geförderten Lebensart in Form einer anscheinend anständigen Fassade durch den Kakao ziehen, zum etwas tiefsinnigeren Humor von Literaturklassikern geschlagen wird. Gewissermaßen vom Witz des Pöbels zu dem des Bildungsbürgertums, aber nun ja, über Humor lässt sich bekanntlich nicht streiten – oder doch?

In Freiheit des Parks zeigt Orwell anhand eines relativ banalen Vorfalls, nämlich der Verhaftung von Zeitungsjungen wegen Verkauf von Zeitungen, die offensichtlichen Schwachstellen demokratischer Gesellschaften, welche in ihrem Funktionieren nicht nur von ihren exekutiven und judikativen Organen abhängig sind, sondern eben auch von den Menschen, die dahinter stehen.

Als junger Mann stand er zwar kommunistischen Ideen offen gegenüber und in seinen frühen Texten finden sich auch antisemitische Vorurteile, doch mit der Zeit und in reiferen Jahren distanzierte sich Orwell öffentlich und in seinen schriftstellerischen Werken ohne Wenn und Aber von seinen jugendlichen Dummheiten.

Darin vergleicht Orwell die Wirtschaftsstruktur von Sozialismus mit der Gewinn maximierenden Eigenart der freien Marktwirtschaft – dem Kapitalismus und die daraus resultierenden Gefahren für die Gesellschaft. Er erklärt, warum extrem reiche Leute eher mit dem Faschismus sympathisieren und warum im Allgemeinen die oberen 10.000 von politisch extremen Regierungen entlastet und gefördert werden. Ein kritischer Punkt für freie Gesellschaften ist laut Orwell dann erreicht, wenn „Langeweile auf Stagnation" trifft.

From acclaimed author Ursula K. Le Guin, and with an introduction by Karen Joy Fowler, a collection of thoughts - always adroit, often acerbic - on aging, belief, the state of literature, and the state of the nation. Ursula K. Le Guin has taken listeners to imaginary worlds for decades. Now she's in the last great frontier of life, old age, and exploring new literary territory: the blog, a forum where her voice - sharp, witty, as compassionate as it is critical - shines. No Time to Spare collects the best of Ursula's blog, presenting perfectly crystallized dispatches on what matters.

Gore Vidal’s reputation as America’s finest essayist is an enduring one. This collection, chosen by the author from 40 years of work, contains about two-thirds of what he published in various magazines and journals. He has divided the essays into three categories, or states. State of the art covers literature, including novelists and critics, bestsellers, pieces on Henry James, Oscar Wilde, Suetonius, Nabakov, and Montaigne (a previosly uncollected essay from 1992).
