Carrie Kills A Man - A Memoir

Synopsis

Carrie Kills A Man* is about growing up in a world that doesn't want you, and about how it feels to throw a hand grenade into a perfect life. It's the story of how a tattooed transgender rock singer killed a depressed suburban dad, and of the lessons you learn when you renounce all your privilege and power.

When more people think they've seen a ghost than met a trans person, it's easy for bad actors to exploit that – and they do, as you can see from the headlines and online. But here's the reality, from someone who's living it. From coming out and navigating trans parenthood to the thrills of gender-bending pop stars, fashion disasters and looking like Velma Dinkley, this is a tale of ripping it up and starting again: Carrie's story in all its fearless, frank and funny glory.

*"Spoiler: That man was me." – Carrie
"Nasty & funny! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED." - Patton Oswalt

The Lantern Bearers

Robert Louis Stevenson

'The essence of this bliss was to walk by yourself in the black night, the slide shut, the top-coat buttoned, not a ray escaping, whether to conduct your footsteps or to make your glory public – a mere pillar of darkness in the dark; and all the while, deep down in the privacy of your fool's heart, to know you had a bull's-eye at your belt, and to exult and sing over the knowledge.'

One of Robert Louis Stevenson's bestselling works of his time, 'The Lantern Bearers' is a charming essay on the joys underlying realist literature.

Sometimes mistakenly taken as a fictional narrative, the essay begins with three boys – of which Stevenson is one – who reside in a seaside town during the summer. Stevenson describes the various splendours of existence in the town, such as fishing, tide pools and the open sea air. The three boys begin a nighttime ritual in which they attach lanterns to their belts, hidden by their overcoats, meandering in the dark and engaging in discussions only for their own ears – a simple, but profound source of pleasure. It becomes an allegory for the importance of romance in realism; why writers ought to seek where joy lies in the everyday. This audiobook edition is brilliantly read by Robin Laing.
Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 – 1894) was a Scottish novelist, poet and travel writer. Best known for his novels Treasure Island and Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, his worked spanned from romance and adventure writing to gothic dark realism.

From Prosperity to Peril - The...

Anya Solace

The economic history of Argentina is deeply rooted in its colonial past, which shaped much of the country’s early economic structures and patterns. Argentina, as part of the Spanish Empire, was initially regarded as a peripheral region, with its economic activities largely shaped by the colonial powers’ interests. The Spanish imposed a rigid economic system in which the colony’s natural resources were exploited to benefit Spain, primarily through the export of silver, agricultural products, and other raw materials. This colonial legacy set the stage for Argentina’s agricultural-based economy and influenced the development of land ownership patterns and labor systems that would persist well into the 19th century.
During the colonial period, the region that would become Argentina was an important supplier of agricultural products, such as cattle and grains, to the Spanish Empire. Large estates, known as estancias, were established, and much of the labor force was provided by indigenous peoples and African slaves. The development of these estates led to the establishment of an agrarian economy that would remain a cornerstone of Argentina’s economic identity. The concentration of land and wealth in the hands of a few, however, created significant economic inequalities that would become a recurring theme in Argentina’s history.
Following Argentina’s independence from Spain in 1816, the young nation faced significant challenges in establishing its economic identity. The economic institutions that had been put in place by the colonial powers were largely centered around the needs of the empire, and there was little infrastructure to support an autonomous economy. The new republic was faced with the task of building a functional economy that could support its growing population while integrating itself into the global economy.
