Title: Pale Horse Rider: William Cooper, the Rise of Conspiracy, and the Fall of Trust in America

Author: Mark Jacobson

Narrator: Ray Porter

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:53:00

Language: English

Release date: 09-04-18

Publisher: Penguin Audio

Genres: Non-Fiction, Social Science

Summary:

We are living in a time of unprecedented distrust in America...

Faith in the government is at an all-time low, and political groups on both sides of the aisle are able to tout preposterous conspiracy theories as gospel, without much opposition. “Fake news” is the order of the day. This book is about a man to whom all of it points, the greatest conspiracist of this generation and a man you may not have heard of.

A former U.S. naval intelligence worker, Milton William Cooper published his manifesto Behold a Pale Horse in 1991. Since then it has gone on to sell hundreds of thousands of copies, becoming the number-one bestseller in the American prison system. According to Behold a Pale Horse, JFK was assassinated—because he was about to reveal that extraterrestrials were about to take over the earth—by his driver, an alien himself; AIDS is a government conspiracy to decrease the population of blacks, Hispanics, and homosexuals; and the Illuminati are secretly involved with the U.S. government to manage relationships with extraterrestrials. Cooper died in a shootout with Apache County police in 2001, one month after September 11, in the year in which he had predicted catastrophe.

In Pale Horse Rider, journalist Mark Jacobson not only tells the story of Cooper’s fascinating life but also provides the social and political context for American paranoia. Indeed, with the present NSA situation and countless other shadowy government dealings often in the news, aren’t we right to suspect that things may not be as they seem?

Nominated for the 2019 Forest of Reading Evergreen Award

Winner of the 2018  Alcuin Society Awards for Excellence in Book Design – Prose Non-Fiction

'Cultural rocket fuel.' --Vanity Fair

'Emotional and painful but also layered with humour, I'm Afraid of Men will widen your lens on gender and challenge you to do better. This challenge is a necessary one--one we must all take up. It is a gift to dive into Vivek's heart and mind.' --Rupi Kaur, bestselling author of The Sun and Her Flowers and Milk and Honey

A trans artist explores how masculinity was imposed on her as a boy and continues to haunt her as a girl--and how we might reimagine gender for the twenty-first century.

Vivek Shraya has reason to be afraid. Throughout her life she's endured acts of cruelty and aggression for being too feminine as a boy and not feminine enough as a girl. In order to survive childhood, she had to learn to convincingly perform masculinity. As an adult, she makes daily compromises to steel herself against everything from verbal attacks to heartbreak.

Now, with raw honesty, Shraya delivers an important record of the cumulative damage caused by misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia, releasing trauma from a body that has always refused to assimilate. I'm Afraid of Men is a journey from camouflage to a riot of colour and a blueprint for how we might cherish all that makes us different and conquer all that makes us afraid.

Title: Beirut Hellfire Society

Author: Rawi Hage

Narrator: Ali Momen

Format: Unabridged

Length: 6:50:00

Language: English

Release date: 08-28-18

Publisher: Knopf Canada

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Mystery, Thriller & Horror, Literary Fiction, General, Psychological

Summary:

FINALIST FOR THE SCOTIABANK GILLER PRIZE

SHORTLISTED FOR THE ROGERS WRITERS' TRUST FICTION PRIZE

SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S LITERARY AWARD FOR FICTION

An explosive new novel from the award-winning, bestselling author of De Niro's Game and Cockroach.

It is 1978 in Beirut, Lebanon, partway through that country's Civil War. On a torn-up street overlooking a cemetery in the city's Christian enclave, we meet an eccentric young man named Pavlov, the son of a local undertaker. When his father meets a sudden and untimely death, Pavlov is approached by a colourful member of the mysterious Hellfire Society--a secret group to which his father had belonged. The Society's purpose is to arrange burial or cremation for those who for various reasons have been outcast and abandoned by family, clergy and state. Pavlov agrees to take up his father's work for the society, and over the course of the novel he becomes a survivor-chronicler of his embattled and fading community, bearing witness to its enduring rituals as well as its inevitable decline.

Deftly combining comedy with tragedy, Beirut Hellfire Society is at once propulsive, elegiac, outrageous, profane and transcendent--a profoundly moving meditation on what it means to live through war. It asks what, if anything, can be accomplished or preserved in the face of certain change and imminent death. Here is an exhilarating, subversive, beautiful and timely new work that reinforces Rawi Hage's status as one of our most original, necessary, fearless and important writers.

Title: Longest Night

Author: Ranata Suzuki

Narrator: Mhairi Morrison

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1:42:22

Language: English

Release date: 08-24-18

Publisher: Authors Republic

Genres: Biography & Memoir

Summary:

Heartbreak and grief touch every soul at least once in a lifetime and Ranata Suzuki translates those raw emotions into words. In this stunning audiobook adaption of The Longest Night, award winning audiobook narrator Mhairi Morrison delivers an authentic and stirring performance bringing conviction and emotional depth to the books strikingly poignant quotations and powerfully emotive poetry. The result is an artfully created emotional journey that immerses the listener in this mournful lovers journal that explores a side of love that is deep, dark and hauntingly beautiful.

Each of the books elements are skilfully narrated, revealing fragments of thoughts and feelings that seem almost to belong to the listener as years of painful longing are condensed into the context of a single night.

The journal begins with Sunset, in which poems convey the initial feelings of shock and loss first felt when a relationship with a loved one ends. As the poetry descends into an emotional downward spiral, the book progresses into its next chapter, Darkness, in which emptiness, jealousy, sorrow and despair are passionately portrayed.

The concluding chapter, First Light, sees the gradual dawning of a new outlook. The final poems express a gratitude for what once was, an acceptance of what now is, and come to the uplifting conclusion that even though a relationship can be fated to end tragically, the memories gained and lessons learned from it are, in their own way, treasured gifts that will last a lifetime.

An audiobook for anyone who has found themselves separated from someone they love no matter the circumstance, The Longest Night is a companion for the broken heart on the painful emotional journey that is losing someone you love from your life. Its words serve as a comforting reminder, whether you are travelling this road or have recently completed this journey yourself, that despite the loneliness you may sometimes feel along the way none of us walk this path alone.

Title: Women Talking

Author: Miriam Toews

Narrator: Matthew Edison

Format: Unabridged

Length: 5:57:00

Language: English

Release date: 08-21-18

Publisher: Knopf Canada

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Fiction & Literature, Literary Fiction, Religious Fiction, Family Life

Summary:

A FINALIST FOR THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S LITERARY AWARD: A transformative and necessary work--as completely unexpected as it is inspired--by the award-winning author of the bestselling novels All My Puny Sorrows and A Complicated Kindness.

The sun rises on a quiet June morning in 2009. August Epp sits alone in the hayloft of a barn, anxiously bent over his notebook. He writes quickly, aware that his solitude will soon be broken. Eight women--ordinary grandmothers, mothers and teenagers; yet to August, each one extraordinary-- will climb the ladder into the loft, and the day's true task will begin. This task will be both simple and subversive: August, like the women, is a traditional Mennonite, and he has been asked to record a secret conversation.

Thus begins Miriam Toews' spellbinding novel. Gradually, as we hear the women's vivid voices console, tease, admonish, regale and debate each other, we piece together the reason for the gathering: they have forty-eight hours to make a life-altering choice on behalf of all the women and children in the colony. And like a vast night sky coming into view behind the bright sparks of their voices, we learn of the devastating events that have led to this moment.

Acerbic, funny, tender, sorrowful and wise, Women Talking is composed of equal parts humane love and deep anger. It is award-winning writer Miriam Toews' most astonishing novel to date, containing within its two short days and hayloft setting an expansive, timeless universe of thinking and feeling about women--and men--in our contemporary world.
