Title: History of a Drowning Boy: The Autobiography Author: Mark Pettigrew, Dennis Nilsen Narrator: Alex Robertson Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 13 hours 25 minutes Release date: August 17, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 2.83 of Total 6 Ratings of Narrator: 3.5 of Total 2 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: Dennis Nilsen was jailed for life in 1983 after the murders of 12 men and the attempted murders of many more. Seven years after his conviction, Nilsen began to write his autobiography, and over a period of 18 years, he typed 6,000 pages of introspection, reflection, comment, and explanation. History of a Drowning Boy—taken exclusively from these astonishing writings—uncovers, for the first time, the motives behind the murders, and delivers a clear understanding of how such horrific events could have happened, tracing the origins back to early childhood. In another first, it provides an insight into his 35 years inside the maximum-security prison system, including his everyday life on the wings; his interactions with the authorities and other notorious prisoners; and his artistic endeavours of music, writing, and drama. It also reveals the truth behind many of the myths surrounding Dennis Nilsen, as reported in the media. Nilsen was determined to have his memoir published but to his frustration, the Home Office blocked publication during his lifetime. He died in 2018 entrusting the manuscript to his closest friend and it is now being published with the latter's permission. Any autobiography presents the writer's story from just one perspective: his own, and as such, this record should be treated with some caution. An excellent foreword by criminologist Dr. Mark Pettigrew offers some context to Nilsen's words, and this important work provides an extraordinary journey through the life of a remarkable and inadequate man..

Nuestra muy particular naturaleza, sin duda.» SUSANA MOSCATEL «Lo más bonito de este libro, además de ser emotivo y entretenido, es que desde los ojos de Héctor Suárez Gomís podemos ver y oler lapresencia de su papá, pero también la del Héctor Suárez que es nuestro, porque es parte indispensable de nuestra historia colectiva.» TIARÉ SCANDA «El amor del autor hacia su padre es el fruto de una intensa, no siempre fácil, pero fructífera relación, es agradecido y eterno.

Title: Nurturing Healing Love Author: Scarlett Lewis Narrator: Scarlett Lewis Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 38 minutes Release date: August 10, 2021 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: On December 14, 212, Scarlett Lewis experienced something that no parent should ever have to endure: she lost her son Jesse in an act of unimaginable violence. The day started just like any other, but when a gunman opened fire at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Scarlett's life changed forever. However, this isn't a story about a massacre. It's a story about love and survival. It's about how to face the impossible, how to find courage when you think you have none, and how to choose love instead of anger, fear, or hatred. Following Jesse's death, Scarlett went on an unexpected journey, inspired by a simple three-word message he had scrawled on their kitchen chalkboard shortly before he died: Norurting Helin Love (Nurturing Healing Love). It was as if he knew just what his family would need in order to go on after this horrible tragedy. Bolstered by his words, Scarlett took her first step toward a new life. And with each step, it became clearer how true Jesse's message was. She learned that love was indeed the essential element necessary to move forward and that taking the path of love is a choice. We can live in anger and resentment, or we can choose love and forgiveness. With her decision made, she found some peace and began to believe that choosing love was the key to creating a healthy, safe, and happy world. She began the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Foundation to develop programs to teach children about the power each of us has to change our thoughts and choose a life without fear and hate. Nurturing Healing Love is Scarlett's story of how choosing love is changing her life-and how it could change our world.

Title: [Spanish] - En pana Author: Martín Cinzano Narrator: Marcelo Pintos Format: Abridged Audiobook Length: 3 hours 16 minutes Release date: August 4, 2021 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: 'Hace tiempo que no leía algo tan bueno. En pana puede leerse como una autobiografía—porque es la biografía de unos autos—o un ménage à trois entre novela, ensayo y poesía, o una exagerada nota al pie acerca del copiloto como un pequeño dios. Martín Cinzano ha escrito un libro inolvidable, muy divertido, melancólico, vertiginoso e introspectivo: callejero, carretero y carrilero.' —Alejandro Zambra 'Cinzano apuesta por el fragmento para indagar en sus recuerdos, para reírse de la literatura autobiográfica, para armar una historia leve y divertidísima, en la que convida a otros escritores que alguna vez escribieron sobre autos: Enrique Lihn, Bolaño, Nicanor Parra, Gonzalo Millán, José Ángel Cuevas son algunos de los citados, que parecen conformar también su universo de referencias, donde resalta sobre todo la lengua chilena que es capaz de reconstruir, de usar, de manosear y, así, darle una vida nueva.' —Diego Zúñiga
