Here are the excruciatingly funny adventures of Suzanne Vale—a young film star and drug addict—who survives a rehab clinic only to rejoin the equally harrowing world of Hollywood. Out there on the edge, despair flips into hilarity, and we're left laughing as Suzanne struggles to come to terms with her various fantasylands. This stunning literary debut—read by author and actress Carrie Fisher herself—evokes the deliciously irreverent humor that formed the lens through which Fisher looked at life in the '80s: the stardom, the success, the sex—as well as the drugs, the desperation, and the insecurity.Ver livro
ohn Locke: Enlightenment philosopher, father of liberalism, inventor of “natural rights,” and accidental spiritual patron of land developers, libertarians, and your uncle who won’t shut up about property taxes. In this gloriously sarcastic takedown of one of Western philosophy’s most over-quoted minds, Sophia Blackwell (Kant You Not, No Self, No God, No Clue) guides you through Locke’s greatest hits—including: The blank slate theory, which basically says you’re born dumb and the world makes you worse His ideas on identity, which collapse the second you forget your phone password His version of consent, which mostly consists of “You didn’t leave, so I assume you’re fine with it.” And of course, property rights—where mixing your labor with the earth somehow makes it yours, and stealing land becomes morally correct as long as you bring a shovel Locke’s political philosophy inspired democracies, revolutions, and every 400-comment Reddit thread titled “Taxation is theft.” This is not a respectful biography. This is a roast. A eulogy. A survival guide for understanding how Locke gave us: Liberalism Landlords Legal headaches And a political system that thinks fencing off a patch of dirt = moral superiority Perfect for: Recovering philosophy students Political skeptics Enlightenment haters Property law survivors And anyone who wants to laugh while questioning whether government is just a giant metaphor for a really passive-aggressive roommate agreement You don’t need to read Two Treatises of Government. You just need to know Locke said, “I think I own that,” and people believed him.Ver livro
