  Fish On Fish Off

  Author and master storyteller Stephen Sautner narrates this special immersive audio edition of his modern angling classic complete with music and ambient sound. Through a series of 50 personal essays, each of which worthy of its own podcast, Fish On, Fish Off explores what happens when the self-taught, DIY angler sets out to fish the world–and winds up stumbling into every possible pitfall and danger along the way. These include: getting chased from a river by an elephant, surviving a terrifying helicopter ride over the Straits of Magellan, and breaking his only rod on the second cast in Cuba’s Bay of Pigs. Closer to home, he is swept off a jetty by a rogue wave, winds up in an emergency room more than once with fishing lures hanging from various parts of his anatomy, and perhaps most daunting, surviving 30 years of the scrum better known as opening day of trout season in his crowded home state of New Jersey. These stories of heartbreak, terror, and triumph transcend beyond fishing, and make for excellent listening for angler and non-angler alike.

  The Very Last Interview

  In the spirit of his highly acclaimed and influential book Reality Hunger, David Shields has composed a mordantly funny, relentlessly self-questioning self-portrait based on questions that interviewers have asked him over forty years. 
  David Shields decided to gather every interview he’s ever given, going back nearly forty years. If it was on the radio or TV or a podcast, he transcribed it. He wasn’t sure what he was looking for, but he knew he wasn’t interested in any of his own answers. The questions interested him—approximately 2,700, which he condensed and collated to form twenty-two chapters focused on such subjects as Process, Childhood, Failure, Capitalism, Suicide, and Comedy. Then, according to Shields, “the real work began: rewriting and editing and remixing the questions and finding a through-line.” 
  The result is a lacerating self-demolition in which the author—in this case, a late-middle-aged white man—is strangely, thrillingly absent. As Chuck Klosterman says, “The Very Last Interview is David Shields doing what he has done dazzlingly for the past twenty-five years: interrogating his own intellectual experience by changing the meaning of what seems both obviously straightforward and obviously wrong.” 
  Shields’s new book is a sequel of sorts to his seminal Reality Hunger: A Manifesto, which Literary Hub recently named one of the most important books of the last decade. According to Kenneth Goldsmith, “Just when you think Shields couldn’t rethink and reinvent literature any further, he does it again. The Very Last Interview confirms Shields as the most dangerously important American writer since Burroughs.”

  Off-Grid Projects - Build Your...

  Explanation of what off-grid living means Off-grid living is a lifestyle that involves living without the reliance on public utilities such as electricity, water, and gas. Instead, individuals generate their own power using renewable energy sources like solar, wind, or hydroelectric energy. They also use alternative sources for heating and cooking, such as wood-burning stoves or geothermal systems. 
  The concept of off-grid living is not new, and has been around for centuries. Before the advent of modern public utilities, people lived off the land, using natural resources to sustain themselves. This involved growing crops and raising livestock for food, collecting rainwater, and using wood or coal for heating and cooking. 
  Today, off-grid living is becoming more popular due to concerns about climate change, rising energy costs, and the desire for a more self-sufficient lifestyle. Off-grid living is also seen as a way to reduce dependence on external resources and to live a more sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle.

  “Mbona is a Zulu word meaning ‘I see’. 
  Mbona Private Nature Reserve is a glorious slice of paradise nestled in the KwaZulu-Natal midlands, South Africa, which I have the privilege to call home.  
  These stories, which were gathered over many years of living on Mbona, were originally intended to be a podcast, but then I decided to compile them into this audiobook. 
  Herein I share moments, experiences, events, and memories. I’m sure those who know Mbona will relate to much that is shared here, but whether you know Mbona or not, I do hope that you will be inspired to adventure and make your own treasured memories. 
  Happy listening, happy memory making.”
