  Life Is Rosi: Grandma Me and Our...

  'I loved every word of it. Funny, fascinating, infuriating and so deeply personal. It's quite the achievement to create something so raw, so funny, and so clever.' – Adam Hills  
  A fresh, funny family history following the lives of comedian Jess Robinson and her German Jewish grandmother Rosi 
  When Grandma Rosi was 23, she was expelled from Nazi Germany and interned as a refugee in Zbąszyń, Poland. She used her diary to document every detail of her experiences, from being deported by the Gestapo to stolen conversations with her first love. 
  When Jess was 23, she was living in London, struggling with a fledgling acting career, a failed love life and rock-bottom self-esteem. She used her diary to rant about her mum and track her daily calories. Well, it was the noughties… 
  Rapidly approaching her 40th birthday – and, honestly, wanting an EU passport to beat the airport queues – comedian and impressionist Jess Robinson finally digs into the archives of her German Jewish ancestry. With each freshly translated page of her grandmother’s wartime diaries, Jess sets out to discover who Grandma Rosi really was – and maybe learn a thing or two about herself. After all, it’s easy to forget who you really are when you spend every day pretending to be other people… 
  Bravely reopening her own diaries (which had been very securely locked away for nearly two decades), Jess follows the two young women as they navigate life at 23, finding a shared sense of identity despite their entirely different circumstances. 
  Exploring everything from lessons in resilience to the traits we inherit from our matriarchs – and not forgetting trying to make new friends at the German embassy – Life Is Rosi is a warm, witty and wise book that gets to the heart of who we are, wherever we are.

  Unmasking the Klansman - The...

  Unmasking the Klansman may read like a work of fiction but is actually a biography of Asa Carter, one of the South's most notorious white supremacists (and secret Klansman). In the early 1960s Carter became a secret adviser to George Wallace and wrote the Alabama governor's infamous 1963 inauguration speech vowing "segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever." When Carter disappeared from Alabama in 1972, few knew that he had assumed a new identity in Abilene, Texas, masquerading as a Cherokee American novelist. Using the name "Forrest" Carter, he published three successful Western novels, including The Rebel Outlaw, which Clint Eastwood made into a movie. His last book, The Education of Little Tree (a fake biography of his supposed Indian childhood) posthumously became a number one bestseller in 1991. 
   
   
   
  Author Dan T. Carter uncovered "Forrest" Carter's true identity while researching his biography of Georgia Wallace and in a New York Times op-ed he exposed Carter's deception. Although the difficulties of uncovering the full story of the secretive Carter initially led him to abandon the project, in 2018 he gained access to more than two hundred interviews by the late Anniston newsman, Fred Burger. These recordings and his two decades of exhaustive research finally brought Asa Carter's story into focus. Unmasking the Klansman is the result.

  The satisfaction of having...

  "The story of my life is simple. So simple and moving like the ones of any other Italian immigrant. But the great desire and will to outdo oneself is what makes the difference between one and other, and I feel I have the satisfaction of having achieved my aims. Neither because I have had some public recognition nor because I got over my fellows, but because I overcame myself. I will feel actually satisfied if I can make people understand that I overcame myself because this is how I feel like every morning and every night. And I still go on trying to do so day after day" (Miguel Bornaschella).
  
  "I met Miguel twenty years ago and he has always been good at re-telling anecdotes and stories. Most of them have been written here. Then I have pictured, no doubt, a very moving story. And as time went by, he trusted me to carry out this historical and personal account. He also gave me the chance to ask him again and once more, he gave me the necessary space to intrude on his privacy, his feelings and know much more than what was needed but all that my curiosity required to get a comprehensive view. Thanks to all this I have been able to picture before my eyes a story so moving that I am not sure my pen will be able to provide an accurate description" (Alberto Miramontes).
