Title: Forest of Noise: Poems

Language: English

Release date: 10-15-24

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Poetry

Summary:

'A powerful, capacious, and profound' (Ocean Vuong) new collection of poems about life in Gaza by an award-winning Palestinian poet.

Barely thirty years old, Mosab Abu Toha was already a well-known poet when the current siege of Gaza began. After the Israeli army bombed and destroyed his house, pulverizing a library he had painstakingly built for community use, he and his family fled for their safety. Not for the first time in their lives.  

Somehow, amid the chaos, Abu Toha kept writing poems. These are those poems. Uncannily clear, direct, and beautifully tuned, they form one of the most astonishing works of art wrested from wartime. Here are directives for what to do in an air raid; here are lyrics about the poet’s wife, singing to his children to distract them. Huddled in the dark, Abu Toha remembers his grandfather’s oranges, his daughter’s joy in eating them. 

Moving between glimpses of life in relative peacetime and absurdist poems about surviving in a barely livable occupation, Forest of Noise invites a wide audience into an experience that defies the imagination—even as it is watched live. Abu Toha's poems introduce readers to his extended family, some of them no longer with us. This is an urgent, extraordinary, and arrestingly whimsical book. Searing and beautiful, it brings us indelible art in a time of terrible suffering.

Title: Spamalot Diaries

Author: Eric Idle

Narrator: Alan Tudyk, Eric Idle

Format: Unabridged

Length: 04:24:53

Language: English

Release date: 10-08-24

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: Biography & Memoir, Arts & Entertainment, General Comedy

Summary:

The inside story of what it took to bring Monty Python and the Holy Grail to Broadway as the unlikely theatrical hit Spamalot, told through actual diary entries from the legendary comic performer, founding member of Monty Python, and New York Times bestselling author

On March 17, 2005, Spamalot debuted on Broadway to rapturous reviews for its star-studded creative team, including creators Eric Idle and John Du Prez, director Mike Nichols, and stars Hank Azaria, David Hyde Pierce, Sara Ramirez, Tim Curry, and more. But long before the show was the toast of Broadway and the winner of three Tony Awards, it was an idea threatening to fizzle before it could find its way into existence.

Now, in The Spamalot Diaries, Eric Idle shares original journal entries and raw email exchanges—all featuring his whip-smart wit—revealing the sometimes bumpy, always entertaining, path to the show’s unforgettable run. In the months leading up to that opening night, financial anxieties were high, with a low-ceiling budget and expectations that it would take two years to break even. Collaborative disputes put decades-long friendships to the test. And the endless process of rewriting was a task as passionate as it was painstaking. Still, there’s nothing Idle would change about that year. Except for the broken ankle. He could do without the broken ankle.

Chronicling every minor mishap and triumph along the way, as well as the creative tension that drove the show to new heights, The Spamalot Diaries is an unforgettable look behind the curtain of a beloved musical and inside the wickedly entertaining mind of one of our most treasured comic performers.

Title: Our Evenings: A Novel

Author: Alan Hollinghurst

Narrator: Prasanna Puwanarajah

Format: Unabridged

Length: 16:00:00

Language: English

Release date: 10-08-24

Publisher: Random House (Audio)

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction, LGBTQ+

Summary:

From the internationally acclaimed winner of the Booker Prize, a piercing novel of modern England through the lens of one man’s acutely observed experiences

“Our Evenings is a truly astonishing novel, by turns delicate and ferocious, radical in the way it explores questions of race, class, sexuality, and origins.”—Tash Aw, author of Five Star Billionaire

Did I have a grievance? Most of us, without looking far, could find something that had harmed us, and oppressed us, and unfairly held us back. I tried not to dwell on it, thought it healthier not to, though I’d lived my short life so far in a chaos of privilege and prejudice.

Dave Win, the son of a a Burmese man he’s never met and a British dressmaker, is thirteen years old when he gets a scholarship to a top boarding school. With the doors of elite English society cracked open for him, heady new possibilities emerge, even as Dave is exposed to the envy and viciousness of his wealthy classmates.

Alan Hollinghurst’s new novel follows Dave from the 1960s on—through the possibilities that remained open for him, and others that proved to be illusory: as a working-class brown child in a decidedly white institution; a young man discovering queer culture and experiencing his first, formative love affairs; a talented but often overlooked actor, on the road with an experimental theater company; and an older Londoner whose late-in-life marriage fills his days with an unexpected sense of happiness and security.

From “one of our most gifted writers” (The Boston Globe), Our Evenings sweeps readers from our past to our present through the beauty, pain, and joy of one deeply observed life.

Title: Japanese Fairy Tales

Author: Yei Theodora Ozaki

Narrator: Linda Barrans

Format: Unabridged

Length: 06:42:37

Language: English

Release date: 10-08-24

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Kids, Fairy Tales & Folklore

Summary:

Many of the stories in this book seem at the same time both familiar and strange.

Their authors valued family, duty, patience and heroism. They longed for children in their old age, and rejoiced when they saw cruelty and envy punished, wrongs righted, and kindness and bravery rewarded.

These ideas are recognized the world over.

What makes the stories different is partly the characters: the brave samurai, the evil wizards; the fantastical creatures goblins, dragons, demons, fairies; the cunning talking animals not only sparrows, badgers and rabbits, but crocodiles and jellyfish too.

You may feel you know what is coming when the hero is told not, under any circumstance, to open the box or when the doting father takes a second wife, a wicked stepmother. There is even one tale where the new wife sends a servant to take the daughter into the woods and dispose of her (sound familiar?).

Though the ideas are tried and trusted, the journey is fresh and new.

Not only because the heroes ride on paper cranes or tortoises that swim under the sea but because the destination may not be what you expect.

There is even more than one story where the wicked woman repents her evil ways and goes on to live a good and kind life.

Title: Countdown 1960: The Behind-the-Scenes Story of the 312 Days that Changed America's Politics Forever

Author: Chris Wallace

Narrator: Chris Wallace, Dylan Baker

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:12:09

Language: English

Release date: 10-08-24

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Genres: History, Politics, North America, Political Ideologies

Summary:

A riveting new work and fresh take on the lead-up to the presidential election of 1960, drawing timely parallels to the choice Americans face in 2024

It’s January 2, 1960: the day that Massachusetts Senator John F. Kennedy declared his candidacy; and with this opening scene, Chris Wallace offers readers a front-row seat to history. From the challenge of primary battles in a nation that had never elected a Catholic president, to the intense machinations of the national conventions—where JFK chose Lyndon B. Johnson as his running mate over the impassioned objections of his brother Bobby—this is a nonfiction political thriller filled with intrigue, cinematic action, and fresh reporting. Like with many popular histories, readers will be familiar with the story, but few will know the behind-the-scenes details, told here with gripping effect.

  

Featuring some of history’s most remarkable characters, page-turning action, and vivid details, Countdown 1960 follows a group of extraordinary politicians, civil rights leaders, Hollywood stars, labor bosses, and mobsters during a pivotal year in American history. The election of 1960 ushered in the modern era of presidential politics, with televised debates, private planes, and slick advertising. In fact, television played a massive role. It allowed voters to see the candidates’ appearances. More than 70 million Americans watched one or all four debates. The public turned to television to watch campaign rallies. And on the night of the election, the contest between Kennedy and Nixon was so close that Americans were glued to their televisions long after dawn to see who won.

The year 1960 was a deeply contentious, perilous time for America. It also was a moment our nation survived due to courage, leadership, and patriotism.

Title: Good as Gold: How to Unleash the Power of Sound Money

Author: Judy Shelton

Narrator: Marguerite Gavin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10:38:55

Language: English

Release date: 10-08-24

Publisher: Blackstone Audiobooks

Genres: Business & Economics, Politics, Public Policy, Accounting & Finance

Summary:

From financial crises, to pandemic price-spikes, to recurring cycles of inflation, everyone agrees: the economy has seen better days.

But as soon as pundits and politicians start discussing economics, things get murky. Most books ask more questions than they answer.

Most books but not this one.

Judy SheltonSenior Fellow at Independent Institute, former Chairman of the National Endowment for Democracy, and critically acclaimed monetary economisthas written a book with answers.

And not a moment too soon.

With clarity and moral courage, Shelton charts the course to a brighter future. Shes one of the few economists bold enough to challenge the inflationary policies of the Federal Reserve, emphasizing how todays policies enrich elites at the expense ofyou guessed itpoor and middle-class Americans. This, Shelton insists, must end. And it can endeasily.

But Shelton doesnt stop there. Her vision is for not only America but also for people around the world. Global, economic upliftment, she insists, need not come at the expense of domestic prosperity. We can have bothbut not without a sound and stable US currency.

And history is very clear on this point. When the US dollar is backed by gold, America prospers, and so does the rest of the world. In this book, Shelton casts a powerful vision that is as revolutionary as it is time-tested a vision that shows how the future American dollar can perform as good as gold or even better.

But this is no curmudgeonly demand to return to the gold standard of yore. Neither is it a demand to return to the Bretton Woods era. Instead, Shelton offers something new: an explanation of how we can use gold for a new international monetary order. Step by step, she lays out how gold can provide a universal measure of value across borders, create new financial opportunities, and dramatically increase prosperity around the world.

If you care about the poor, rich, and everyone in between, you have to listen to this book and discover:

how price stability functions as the foundation for productive economic growth;

how political freedom and economic freedom are fundamentally linked and how one cannot exist without the other;

how to reconcile the stability of Americas domestic currency in a global context;

the proper role of government in the economy;

and much, much more

Writing with a sober but hopeful voice, Shelton is no ordinary economist. With grace, intellectual rigor, and unmatched passion, this book is a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of the Americanand globaleconomy. Youll walk away with more answers than questionsa rare experience for anyone who reads about monetary policy.
