Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

Intrigue, high-stakes machinations and adrenaline-fuelled track action Growing Wings is the never-before-told inside story of how the grids most fascinating, swagger-rich and win-at-all-costs team competed their way to total domination and disrupted Formula Ones world order.

With exclusive access to Red Bull's inner sanctum, leading F1 writer Ben Hunt probes the operations of a world-beating Formula One team over its eventful twenty-year history, from the rivalries, turbulence and controversy, to the game-changing tech and the leadership strategies. He also talks to the drivers themselves, including Webber and Vettel, for a fascinating insight into the mindset of motorsport athletes through success, risk and challenge.

Endorsed with a foreword by Team Principal Christian Horner, but maintaining journalistic independence, this is a thrilling, frank and unvarnished account of how the paddock's loudest upstarts achieved team alchemy with the promotion of a driver called Max Verstappen, and what it means to go, learn, go again, tweak, test, and ultimately outplay the competition in a way never before seen in Formula One.

Title: Like Love: Essays and Conversations

Author: Maggie Nelson

Narrator: Senn Annis

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12:00:04

Language: English

Release date: 05-23-24

Publisher: PGRH UK

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Non-Fiction, Essays & Anthologies, Philosophy

Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

Like Love is a momentous, raucous collection of essays drawn from twenty years of Maggie Nelson's brilliant work. These profiles, reviews, remembrances, tributes and critical essays, as well as several conversations with friends and idols, bring to life Nelson's passion for dialogue and dissent. The range of subjects is wide - from Prince to Carolee Schneemann to Matthew Barney to Lhasa de Sela to Kara Walker - but certain themes recur: intergenerational exchange; love and friendship; feminist and queer issues, especially as they shift over time; subversion, transgression and perversity; the roles of the critic and language in relation to visual and performance arts; forces that feed or impede certain bodies and creators; and the fruits and follies of a life spent devoted to making.

Arranged chronologically, Like Love shows the writing, thinking, feeling, reading, looking and conversing that occupied Nelson while writing iconic books such as Bluets and The Argonauts. As such, it is a portrait of a time, an anarchic party rich with wild guests, a window into Nelson's own development and a testament to the profound sustenance offered by art and artists.

Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

Have you been keeping your eye on your grandma lately? Have you been calling her enough? You sure shes not spending too much time on YouTube? Is she talking fondly of dictators? Has she suddenly started quietly muttering in the Aldi queue about the Jewish Space Lasers shes heard are setting wildfires around the world to make sure everyone believes in climate change? When was the moment the world began to believe anything?

Danny Wallace, million-copy bestselling author of Yes Man and Join Me, has fallen down the modern rabbit hole of lies, conspiracies and disinformation. Along the way, he encounters families torn apart by accusations and fake news, journalists putting themselves on the frontline of the disinformation war, reformed conspiracy theorists, influencers who see profit in stoking paranoia, and the shadowy nameless, faceless trolls on the other side of our screens. He discovers how disinformation and well-told lies can ruin a year or a whole life, how they can affect our family, our street, our community. How they can spread across a country, a continent, even the world. How they take hold of our imaginations and make us feel both helpless and powerful.

And Danny asks: can you do anything to stop it even with the truth on your side?

Title: Guest Privileges: Queer Lives and Finding Home in the Middle East

Author: Gaar Adams

Narrator: Gaar Adams

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:31:38

Language: English

Release date: 05-09-24

Publisher: PGRH UK

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Literary, History & Culture

Summary:

Brought to you by Penguin.

An intimate and illuminating account of queer lives and migration, homemaking and community in the Gulf, from a brilliant new voice in narrative non-fiction

Upon moving to the Gulf States where penalties for queer acts include deportation, imprisonment, torture and death Gaar Adams wants to understand why LGBTQ+ migrants might choose to live amid such peril. From the UAE to Bahrain and Oman to Saudi Arabia a region where four out of five residents are noncitizens he begins riskily gathering interviews outside the tightly controlled state media, leading with what he thinks is a simple question:

Isn't it harder for you to make a life here?

But as unforgettable residents share a kaleidoscope of stories from uproarious Filipino salon workers throwing secret drag parties to a courageous Pakistani farmhand helping his compatriots smuggle themselves across borders cracks emerge in the framing of his enquiry, revealing disquieting assumptions about the motivations, places and identities of others.

As Gaar begins his own clandestine queer relationship, fault lines and deeper questions begin to emerge: about what we perpetuate and refuse to examine, and how we balance opportunity, risk, subversion and assimilation.

Weaving revealing memoir with unprecedented reportage, Guest Privileges is a decade-long journey of dislocation not just through the Gulf States one of the most maligned and misunderstood regions in the world but into the very nature of home, belonging and how we form a life and community.
