Title: Cary Grant: Taking the Lead Author: Gene Popa Narrator: Adam Hanin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 46 minutes Release date: October 18, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: In 1937, it seemed as if Cary Grant had it all: the fame and fortune of being a leading man for one of Hollywood’s biggest studios, with a life of luxury that was a world away from the hardship and misery he knew growing up in Bristol, England. But all that glitters is not gold. Grant felt that he had no say in the development of his own career, and he was seeing signs that the studio was losing interest in him—other than to just be a handsome face. He yearned for better roles to prove himself as an actor. And so, he did the inconceivable. He left the safety of his studio and struck out on his own as a freelance actor. Over the next four years, against tremendous odds and formidable opposition, he guided his own destiny. As amazing as the story of Archie Leach forging a new life for himself as Cary Grant is, the tale of these four crucible years, 1937 to 1940, is equally as important. For it was during these years that Cary Grant became more than a movie star. He became a timeless icon.

Title: Glory Guitars: Memoir of a '90s Teenage Punk Rock Grrrl Author: Gogo Germaine Narrator: Carrington Macduffie Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 1 minute Release date: October 11, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Ensconced in the black hole between childhood and adulthood, a glorious degenerate-grade freedom endures. A rebellion from respectability. An anathema to normalcy. It is the type of defiance that’s hopeful―hurt by the world but looking to reconcile it. Enter Gogo Germaine and her girl gang of delinquents. As manic teens in the ’90s punk scene, they engage in a vivid spectrum of misbehavior―from truancy to tattoos to trespassing. Here, in the underbelly of adolescence, music is God and the rest is a rush of nihilism. Gogo and her friends stumble through sound and fury into questionable firsts at varying degrees of sobriety. Many of us blunder through that black hole. It is a point of universal convergence, manifested by divergent experiences. Gogo’s rebellion may look different from yours, but the soaring highs and visceral lows will be familiar.

Title: The Authentic Actor: The Art and Business of Being Yourself Author: Michael Laskin Narrator: Michael Laskin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 6 minutes Release date: October 5, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: “The Authentic Actor – the Art and Business of Being Yourself” illuminates for today’s actors the skills, strategies, and mental approach to navigating the intersection of art and commerce. It’s the culmination of Michael Laskin’s over forty years in the profession, and thousands of hours of classroom work and private coaching. Today’s “Authentic Actor” is someone who has successfully merged their highly developed talent with their fully examined identity. Unfortunately, being talented is no longer enough. Talent is just the “price of admission” in a marketplace where, at the professional level, nearly everyone is talented. Defining, refining, and understanding your indelibility as an actor, your “blink-of-an-eye” factor is key. Marrying that with highly developed traditional skills is the portal to success and artistry. It's not just show business....it's human business.

Title: It Came from the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror Author: Joe Vallese Narrator: Tori Barron, Krystal Hammond, André Santana, Aven Shore, Em Grosland, Aida Reluzco, Mark Sanderlin, Hope Newhouse, Lindsey Dorcus, Daniel Henning, Joel Froomkin, Graham Halstead, Mike Cooper, Ron Butler, Vikas Adam Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 59 minutes Release date: October 4, 2022 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Through the lens of horror—from Halloween to Hereditary—queer and trans writers consider the films that deepened, amplified, and illuminated their own experiences. Horror movies hold a complicated space in the hearts of the queer community: historically misogynist, and often homo- and transphobic, the genre has also been inadvertently feminist and open to subversive readings. Common tropes—such as the circumspect and resilient “final girl,” body possession, costumed villains, secret identities, and things that lurk in the closet—spark moments of eerie familiarity and affective connection. Still, viewers often remain tasked with reading themselves into beloved films, seeking out characters and set pieces that speak to, mirror, and parallel the unique ways queerness encounters the world. 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.

Title: Seeing Like an Artist: What Artists Perceive in the Art of Others Author: Lincoln Perry Narrator: Dan Woren Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 50 minutes Release date: October 4, 2022 Genres: Arts & Entertainment Publisher's Summary: Learn to see art as an artist does. As the mysteries of techniques and styles are revealed, viewing paintings and sculptures becomes a more powerfully enriching experience that will stay in your mind long after you’ve left a museum. A visit to a museum can be overwhelming, exhausting, and unrewarding. Lincoln Perry wants to change that. In eleven essays—each framed around a specific theme—he provides new ways of seeing and appreciating art. Perry is a disarmingly charming tour guide to museums large or small. He makes even all art approachable and accessible. Along the way, he weaves in personal stories, from his own artistic journey as a painter to the days when he could sleep in his beaten-up VW Bus in the Louvre’s parking lot. Drawing heavily on examples from the European tradition of art, the author aims to overturn your assumptions and cause you to re-think artistic prejudices while rebuilding new preferences. Included are essays on how artists “read” paintings and guides to the great museums and churches of Europe. This is for any art-lover and museum-goer who wants to gain a deeper experience as a viewer of art.
