The Fabricated RecordsBy Adeline VaneAt the Linnaean Research Society in late Victorian London, knowledge is meant to be preserved with precision and care. Helen Cartwright is hired to bring order to its neglected archives—sorting correspondence, cataloging field notebooks, and preparing the Society’s most celebrated botanist for a prestigious keynote address. But as she reconciles years of research documentation, Helen notices something troubling. Dates do not align. Data is improbably perfect. A crucial notebook has disappeared from the record.

In 1941, Manila, Philippines was the hidden gem of the Far East and set to become an independent sovereignty in a few short years. On December 8, 1941, immediately following the Pearl Harbor attack 5,200 miles away in Honolulu, the Japanese Imperial Army bombed the city of Manila and began an occupation that would last more than three years and culminate in a battle for the capital city that would go down as one of the deadliest in World War II history.

Story6
A woman approaching the ‘invisible years’ of middle age abandons her failing writing career to retrain as a chiropodist in the East Berlin suburb of Marzahn, once the GDR’s largest prefabricated housing estate. From her intimate vantage point at the foot of the clinic chair, she observes her clients and co-workers, listening to their stories with empathy and curiosity. Part memoir, part collective history, Katja Oskamp’s love letter to the inhabitants of Marzahn is a tender reflection on life’s progression and our ability to forge connections in the unlikeliest of places.

Like The Last Temptation of Christ, Saint Francis is a fictionalized biography of a widely venerated Christian figure: Francis of Assisi, whose renunciation of his young man’s life of leisure and founding of a religious order dedicated to living in poverty and sharing the Gospels with all living things profoundly influence the ways in which Christians the world over worship and give service to their god even today.

Come accade che il tempo che abbiamo vissuto diviene la nostra vita? È questo il nodo affrontato da "Gli anni", affresco autobiografico e al contempo cronaca collettiva del nostro mondo dal dopoguerra a oggi, nodo sciolto in un canto indissolubile attraverso la magistrale fusione della voce individuale con il coro della Storia. Annie Ernaux convoca la Liberazione, l’Algeria, la maternità, de Gaulle, il ’68, l’emancipazione femminile, Mitterrand; e ancora l’avanzata della merce, le tentazioni del conformismo, l’avvento di internet, l’undici settembre, la riscoperta del desiderio.

Born in the bustling artist quarter of Rome, Artemisia, daughter of renowned painter Orazio Gentileschi, is unavoidably drawn into a profession unheard of for women. With an innate grasp of color, light, and composition, and inspired by the mercurial Caravaggio, the fiery Artemisia embraces her calling with a precocious brilliance. But as a young woman, she also finds herself oppressed by a powerful patriarchy, and she is forced to endure emotional and physical abuse at the hands of men.

Four-time Tony Award® winner Harvey Fierstein takes on New York City’s very own political firebrand, Bella Abzug, in his new raucous, heart-rending, and absurdly humorous solo show. Set in 1976, on the eve of her bid to become New York State’s first female senator, Bella Bella finds this larger-than-life, truth-slinging, groundbreaking, hat-wearing icon squirreled away in the bathroom of a midtown hotel awaiting that night’s election results while a coterie of family and celebs await her entrance. Directing is Kimberly Senior (The Niceties).

A parody for fans of Harry Potter and The Crown, Harry Windzor and the Magic of Monarchy is an irreverent, satirical twist on the life of Prince Harry and the House of Windsor. There are spats between heirs and spares, dodgy deals between the Palace and the press, and so many scandals swept under the rug that even the corgis are suspicious. Maybe this isn’t a satire after all...

Consigliato dal suo psicanalista, Zeno Cosini, il protagonista di questo straordinario romanzo, forse il più grande del Novecento italiano, scrive la storia della propria vita, nella speranza di guarire dal suo disagio esistenziale tramite una sorta di auto psicoanalisi. Dietro la personalità bugiarda, manipolatrice e parassita di Zeno, si nasconde in realtà la crisi stessa dell'uomo moderno che non trova risposte alle sue inquietanti domande sul senso della vita.

The story blends a bit of imagination with the true story about six-year-old Paddy and his life in New York City, to rural Kilkenny County in Ireland, in the 1960s, and back again to New York, and how he learned that Banshees are real while also managing to navigate and survive a broken home and a variety of other early-life challenges. The boy’s name may not really be Paddy, but to tell this story, a hint of Irishness and anonymity may be necessary.
