Title: Locus Amoenus

Author: Victoria N. Alexander

Narrator: Ben Jörgensen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5 hrs and 25 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-31-16

Publisher: The Permanent Press

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

In this beautifully nuanced dark comedy, a 9/11 widow and her son, Hamlet, have retreated from Brooklyn to the idyllic rural countryside upstate, where for nearly eight years they have run a sustainable farm. Unfortunately, their outrageously obese neighbors, who prefer the starchy products of industrial agriculture, reject their elitist ways (recycling, eating healthy, reading).

Hamlet, who is now 18, is beginning to suspect that something is rotten in the United States of America, where health, happiness, and freedom are traded for cheap Walmart goods, Paxil, endless war, standard curriculum, and environmental degradation. He becomes very depressed when, on the very day of the eighth anniversary of his father's death, his mother marries a horrid, boring bureaucrat named Claudius.

Things get even more depressing for Hamlet when he learns from Horatio, a conspiracy theorist, that Claudius is a fraud. The deceptions, spying, and corruption will ultimately lead, as in Shakespeare's play, to tragedy.

Members Reviews:

Great art

Fantastic exploration of waking up. Loved the melding of Shakespeare and contemporary "news". Brilliant ending. Thank you.

Ben Jorgensen brings Hamlet-inspired story to life

If you could sum up Locus Amoenus in three words, what would they be?

Hamlet Update Upstate

If youve listened to books by Victoria N. Alexander before, how does this one compare?

This is the first audio version of a book by Victoria Alexander that I have heard

What about Ben Jörgensens performance did you like?

His thoughtful and versatile presentation of the text brought the characters off the page and onto the stage.

I thought that his narration was like a performance, with one actor playing several parts. A video version would be splendid!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I'm not sure moving would be quite the right word...disturbing perhaps. It's a clever book and not sentimental.

Any additional comments?

I would hope in addition to the download that there is, or will be, a DVD audio book version - something one could give to people as a gift.

Riepilogo Editore:

Volete vincere 100.000 dollari per scoprire che non potete intascare un centesimo, oppure preferite far visita a vostra nonna in Paradiso per capire che neanche lei è uno stinco di santo? O ancora, preferite convincervi che indossare una maglietta rossa sia il segreto per incontrare l'amore della vita, oppure che la cosa migliore del mondo sia un bel niente? Se quello che cercate è un viaggio esilarante sulle ali della fantasia e del nonsense a stelle e strisce, Un cosa ancora è il libro giusto.

Prendendo ispirazione da questioni che spaziano dalla natura della perfezione alla necessità della glassa sulla torta di carote, Novak abbraccia i fenomeni più umani: l'amore, la paura, la famiglia, l'ambizione, e l'ansia come elementi sfuggenti che contribuiscono a rendere una persona completa. Una collezione di storie originale in cui lumorismo giocoso e lo spirito elettrizzante definiscono uno scrittore totalmente devoto al divertimento del lettore.

Publisher's Summary:

Riveting, raw, and macabre. Three words that sum up the collection of short stories you will find in A. L. Gates' Scenic City Café, where life (and death) are not always what they seem. His beloved Chattanooga, TN, is often the backdrop for these stories, several of which have been published in writing journals, and one, "The Chase", is a Chattanooga Writers Guild award-winner. From a café full of strange strangers, a convicted killers unusual confession and interrogation room request, and a man who prefers to use a laundromat as the setting for his jobs, welcome to the southern-tinged stories born of Mr. Gates' creative, if somewhat twisted, mind. So, sit back with a tall glass of sweet tea and prepare to be entertained by one of the South's up and coming fiction writers. Oh, and you may not want to be in the house alone.

Members Reviews:

A Delightfully Creepy Must-Read!

This collection of short stories is unique, entertaining, and delightfully creepy. Mr Gates (yes, he is a Mr and I know his real name, but you'll have to torture me to get it) loves his home town, as I do, and does a wonderful job of showcasing some of the current places of interest as well as sharing tidbits of history. He does begin the book with a warning about the language; this is fiction for adults, and he doesn't pretend otherwise. But it's not enough to distract from the story, so I didn't mind.

Rumor has it that there's a sequel on the way!

Senic City Cafe Vol.1

In this collection of short stories by A.L.Gates, the reader will enjoy the macabre,thought provoking,delightfully twisted tales,spun through characters,intricately woven on a slightly warped loom. It is sure to leave your mind reeling and double checking just who it is that you are standing next to!

This was an amazing book of stories could not put it down

This was an amazing book of stories could not put it down. Would recommend it to anyone looking for something to keep their curiosity up

The new Shirley Jackson?

A delightfully spine-chilling offering from the Scenic City's own "Master of the Macbre."

Five Stars

Love this book every story is entertaining and enjoyable hard to pick a favorite!!

Titolo: L'albero e la vacca

Autore: Adrián N. Bravi

Narratore: Gianluca Crisafi

Formato: Unabridged

Durata: 2 hrs and 58 mins

Lingua: Italiano

Data di pubblicazione: 03-21-16

Editore: Audible Studios

Categoria: Fiction, Contemporary

Riepilogo Editore:

"L'albero e la vacca" racconta la storia di un bambino, Adamo, che assiste da sopra un albero alla separazione dei genitori. Seduto sul ramo del tasso, dopo aver mangiato le sue velenosissime bacche, Adamo vede apparire una placida vacca che rasserena l'orizzonte.

L'irresistibile comicità di Bravi nasce dai serissimi sforzi dei suoi personaggi per risolvere situazioni spinose. L'autore riesce a far ridere restando serio, come il grande comico americano Buster Keaton. Al suo protagonista bastano poche bacche velenose e una mansueta allucinazione per affrontare il dolore, sbarcare nell'età adulta e lasciarsi la famiglia alle spalle. Con la sua prosa comica e visionaria, Adrián N. Bravi racconta il quotidiano, trasformandolo in un'avventura fantastica, e viceversa.

Publisher's Summary:

Meredith and David Fiddler looked at Joshua as he slept peacefully in his hospital bed. His four-year-old body was sprawled at an odd angle to accommodate the apparatus that elevated his broken right leg.

"The doctor said it was a bad break," Meredith whispered. "They had to put pins in. I should have seen him trip. I should have been there to catch him. This is all my fault." A single tear rolled down Meredith's cheek. Her dark eyes were filled with pain and self-recrimination. "I shouldn't have let him play tag with the other kids," she moaned.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Dans son onzième roman, qui se déroule à l'époque actuelle, Toni Morrison décrit sans concession des personnages longtemps prisonniers de leurs souvenirs et de leurs traumatismes. Au centre du récit, une jeune femme qui se fait appeler Bride. La noirceur de sa peau lui confère une beauté hors norme. Au fil des ans et des rencontres, elle connaît doutes, succès et atermoiements. Mais une fois délivrée du mensonge - à autrui ou à elle-même - et du fardeau de l'humiliation, elle saura, comme les autres, se reconstruire et envisager l'avenir avec sérénité.

Publisher: ACX

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Americana as genuine as it gets. Heartwarming. Hilarious. Archetypal. Seventeen stories of small-town America that will make you laugh. Guaranteed.

If you grew up in the rural Midwest, you've met big, easy-going Sheriff Tip Tungate, with his uniquely local sense of justice. You've sat in front of hulking principal Butch Bauer, who runs "the best sports program in the state", and seen his football trophies in the display case behind him. You know Mrs. Aubrey, the church secretary who knows everything, and Pastor Frank, the minister with a secret. You've eaten breaded tenderloin at Big Iva's Truckstop while watching goings-on among the Peterbilts. You have eaten baked beans and chocolate cake at the church carry-in supper, been embarrassed by a revival, and seen what happens in small towns to intellectuals who won't shut up.

Seat of Howarth County, Indiana, not far north of the Ohio River, Sedalia is on no map, but lives in the hearts of Hoosiers everywhere.

Members Reviews:

Clean living isn't always so clean...

Worth the chuckles, the residents of Sedalia dispense some grade-A Hoosier justice. From the town gossip to the church congregation to the a la carte pickles in the jar over at the general store--this is as authentic as it gets!

Love this look at Small-Town Indiana....A MUST READ!

Just finished reading Sedalia, Indiana. What a funny, heart-warming, and interesting look at small-town, Indiana. I especially enjoyed and could relate to the chapter on the Writer's Group. A MUST HAVE BOOK! Be sure to read this one....

Members Reviews:

Fatally Disappointing

I was somewhat engrossed for a few pages, then on page 17 I encountered a gross grammatical and stylistic error, so I quit. I have no desire to read a book authored and edited this sloppily.

Forgiveness Opens the Door to Allow the Self to Soar

A childhood of control where even the slightest step out-of-bounds of the required agenda would rile the fury of a step mother obssesed with her way or no way. Reina Murray presents a touching memoir of relentless striving to understand her world as a young teenager thrown into a homelife far from her loving and formative younger years. Some events touch on the very survival of the essence of her soul....leading ultimately to the assurance that love, free and open to touch the core spirit of herself and those around her, allows her own spirit to soar so high above her own expectations. A joy to read a finale so deserving of personal victory and triumph!

Amazing

Amazing, wonderful, encouraging, a true honor to have this book. Written so well. While I was reading

I felt like I was there with the family. Being a daughter of a mother and father that abused me and now an adult I can see that happiness is possible. Thank you Reina Murray because of you I can hold my head up and smile .

Title: Eleanor

Author: Jason Gurley

Narrator: Cassandra Campbell

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 03-10-16

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Limited

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

1962, Anchor Bend, Oregon.

The sea calls to Eleanor. Like the turn of the waves it beckons her from the heart of the town shes always known, from her husband Hob and their young daughter, Agnes, to the unfathomable depths of the ocean.

1985. Agness daughter Eleanor is six years old. She shares her name with the grandmother she never knew and everything else with her identical twin, Esmerelda. But to Agnes, only Eleanor is a constant reminder of the past.

1993. After a dark event leaves her family in tatters, Eleanor, now 14, is left caring for her alcoholic mother, whose grief has torn her apart. But when Eleanors reality begins to unravel, she starts to lose her grip on time itself, slipping from the present into strange other lands where shes in danger of losing herself altogether.

Eleanor is the story of choices that ripple through time far beyond the moment theyre made. And what happens when, just sometimes, bonds are so powerful they reach beyond this world and into another....

Critic Reviews:

"Jason Gurley will be a household name one day." (Hugh Howey, New York Times best-selling author of Wool)

"Gurley's masterful prose is reminiscent of Neil Gaiman...enchanting, magical and powerful." (Ernie Lindsey, USA Today best-selling author of Sara's Game)

"An ambitious book of many wonders...by turns otherworldly and heartbreakingly true." (Elizabeth Collison, author of Some Other Time)

"Jason Gurley is the kind of storyteller that makes you excited to sit down and spend a day reading." (Ted Kosmatka, author of The Flicker Men and Prophet and Bones)

"Ambitious, challenging...as original as A Wrinkle in Time." (Michael Bunker, author of Pennsylvania)

"A really poignant, moving story...sneaks up on you [with] a series of emotional uppercuts. Read it and weep." (Daniel H. Wilson, best-selling author of Robocalypse)

"A virtuoso performance...Eleanor might just be the book of the year." (Russell Blake, best-selling author of Jet)

"Haunting...if you liked The Ocean at the End of the Lane, you'll love Eleanor." (Peter Cawdron, author of Feedback and Anomaly)

Members Reviews:

Surreal and tender

I really liked this novel for the most part. It starts off quite conventionally, the story of a young family, the mother depressed, the dad trying to hold it all together. It's written compellingly and with great tenderness. We move on to the story of their daughter and how her own daughter copes with her depression and alcoholism after a great tragedy befalls them. Again, wonderful and moving writing.

The fantasy part of the book is very enjoyable to begin with; the scenes set in a strange land, where the past can be tuned into as easily as flipping channels on the tv.

Towards the end of the novel, the surreal world in which time is not linear takes centre-stage for all the characters. I feel the book lost its way a little here and I got slightly impatient for things to resolve. This feels like a minor quibble however, the book is, on the whole, wonderful and delightfully genre-defying.

Recommended.
