Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Am Stammtisch im "Nobody" ist alles Spiel und gleichzeitig Ernst. Heute sind Ersatzspieler nicht notwendig. Lothar Altmann nimmt einen anderen Aufsichtsratposten wahr. Der Drexler ist stumm, der Pudel schlafende Kulisse. "Karo zugeben", verlangt der Fleischhauer, der fitgespritzt ist und die Karte auf den Tisch wirft. "Hab ich nicht", sagt der Postenkommandant. Er will den Stich mit seiner kleinsten Tarockkarte machen. Gleich muss er sich korrigieren, weil er mit Schrecken die Karo-Dame in seinem Blatt entdeckt hat. Resignierend bekennt er Farbe. "Da hat sich noch so ein Partisan versteckt", sagt er.

Title: A Floating Life

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Tad Crawford

Narrator: Phil Kane

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-10-13

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

A Floating Life will delight lovers of Kafka, Murakami, and the magic realism of Gabriel Garca Mrquez.

A nameless narrator awakens to the muddle of middle age, no longer certain who or what he is. He finds himself at a party talking to a woman he doesn't know who proves to be his wife. Soon separated but still living in the same apartment, he is threatened by a litigious dachshund and saddled with a stubborn case of erectile dysfunction in a world that seems held together by increasingly mercurial laws and elusive boundaries.

His relationship deepens with an elderly Dutch model maker named Pecheur whose miniature boats are erratically offered for sale in a hard-to-find shop called The Floating World. Enlivened by Pecheur's dream to tame the destructive forces of nature, the narrator begins to find his bearings.

With quiet humor and wisdom, A Floating Life charts its course among images that surprise and disorient, such as a job interview in a steam room with a one-eyed, seven-foot-tall chef, a midnight intrusion of bears, and the narrators breast feeding of the baby he has birthed.

Editorial Reviews:

Lovers of fiction have to trust the story as told. Following the tradition of Kafka and Marquez, author Tad Crawford thrusts his audience into a magical realm in A Floating Life. A man awakens in another time, unsure of his own identity. He is married to a woman he does not know, is at odds with a dog, cannot achieve an erection, and does not know how to get by in his new environment. The aged Pecheur is a maker of miniature boats who has an urge to tame nature. Pecheurs mission moves the nameless narrator to take possession of his life. A crop of odd characters and images substantiate this disorienting landscape. Phil Kanes canny, straight-man narration pulls the listener in.

Title: The Kept

Author: James Scott

Narrator: Kate Udall

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 10 mins

Language: English

Release date: 01-13-14

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Ltd

Genres: Fiction, Literary

Publisher's Summary:

In the winter of 1897, a trio of killers descends upon an isolated farm in upstate New York. Midwife Elspeth Howell returns home to the carnage: her husband and four of her children, murdered. Before she can discover her remaining son, Caleb, alive and hiding in the kitchen pantry, another shot rings out over the snow-covered plains.

Twelve-year-old Caleb nurses his mother back to health, cleaning her wounds and keeping her fed, before they leave their home to seek retribution on the men who committed this heinous crime. As they travel from country to town to hunt the murderers, Elspeth is forced to confront her deepest secrets and question her role in her familys destruction, while Caleb must navigate the dark places in which killers might reside. The search for vengeance becomes entangled in old lies and past mistakes as mother and son plunge headlong into the unknown future that lies ahead.

The Kept introduces Caleb Howell, an old-beyond-his-years character in the tradition of True Grits Mattie Ross and All the Pretty Horsess Jimmy Blevins; Elspeth Howell, a character as complex and compelling as those of Marilynne Robinson or Michael Ondaatje; and James Scott, a striking new voice in contemporary fiction.
