  Cowtown hits the art scene, poking fun at the culture of galleries, museums, and of course, cows and pigs.

  'I’d been having a hard time and this book was the first time I’ve laughed out loud for bloody ages' Reader review 
  Three women who have lost themselves and one who wants to be lost spend a life-changing weekend at a wild retreat on Bodmin Moor. 
  Talking about feelings is Emma’s idea of hell. Annoyingly, she’s bottling up a lot of them. According to her husband, she’s been in a bad mood for the last five years. 
  But Emma needs to open up to help her struggling daughter. The family therapist suggests a wellness retreat, so she’s picked the maddest one she could find. 
  Which is how she has found herself on Bodmin Moor with two strangers and a retreat leader called Clover urging her to get in touch with her ‘dark feminine divine’. 
  But Clover doesn’t know just how much Emma is hurting, and the more she pushes, the more Emma resists. Can she finally accept the anger she feels, and what will happen when she finally lets it all out? 
  Relatable, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Middle Rage is a rallying cry for women everywhere.  
  ********

  “The elder statesman of Canadian letters continues to explore the themes of sin, guilt, and self-discovery . . . A masterful effort.”—Library Journal   Connor Gilmartin’s inauspicious, but much beloved, mortal life comes to an untimely end when he discovers his wife in bed with one of his more ludicrous associates, theater critic Randall Allard Going. Death becomes a bit complicated when Gilmartin’s out-of-body experience stays an out-of-body experience.  Enraged at being so unceremoniously cut down by his wife’s lover, Gil vows revenge against the now panic-stricken Going. But first, Gil must spend his afterlife seated next to his killer at a film festival, where he views the exploits of his ancestors from the Revolutionary era to his parents’ time, an experience that changes the way he views his life—and death. “Mr. Davies is a tremendously enticing storyteller, whether his characters are cajoling in Welsh brogue or portaging a canoe through the northern wilderness, but it’s possible to ask now and then just how such and such an incident fits in the master plan of the book. On most occasions, however, the author, as if sensing our restiveness, provides an answer.”—The New York Times   “Davies’s depiction of how the descendants of Samuel Gilmartin came to emigrate to British North America convincingly blends gritty humor—including a hilarious Welsh cursing contest—with sympathetic portrayals of his characters.”—Kirkus Reviews   “The unexpected conceit devised by the author of the Deptford trilogy will surprise but likely not disappoint his fans.”—Publishers Weekly

  Faerie Queene The (Librovox)

  Edmund Spenser

  Spenser planned a 24-book romance-epic consisting of two parts, of which he completed half of the first. The first twelve books were to illustrate the development of virtues within the individual soul, and the second twelve were to depict the application of these moral virtues to remedying evils that afflict the world. Each of the first set of quests was to begin at the court of the Fairy Queen, Gloriana, and the knights were to return thither after having defeated some foe representing a personal weakness. Having thus proved themselves, they were qualified to undertake the second quests, in the world. The neat plan becomes somewhat muddled by Book 3, which nevertheless contains the philosophical core of the poem's allegorical structure: the Platonic notion that love (grace) unifies the cosmos and draws the will, through the pursuit of beauty, into virtuous action, returning to God at last in worship. The plot structure of the poem is rich and complex, with many strands interlinked and overlapping, each replete with allegorical significance. (Summary by Thomas Copeland)

  With acerbic wit and raw honesty, actress Rosa Blasi—star of ABC’s The Whole Truth, Make It Or Break It and Hollywood’s The Grudge—shares the intimate and laugh-out-loud funny details of her misadventures in dating professional athletes, a bad habit that lasted from her first high school football player boyfriend until a decade of 'roid rage and pathological cheating led to her embrace a life of sports star sobriety. With echoes of Chelsea Handler’s on-her-back honesty; Karrine Steffans’ behind-the-scenes confessionals; the steamy, tell-all spice and humor of Jenna Jameson’s How to Make Love Like a Porn Star, and the sports world sensibilities of Jose Canseco’s Juiced, Rosa’s Jock Itch is an unforgettable, unmissable true tale of her lessons in life, love, and linebackers.
