This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The odd Spanish cult novel rewritten for an international audience. This tragicomedy of the commons will make you squeal out loud like a goosed nun and punch yourself in the mouth for your simple stupidity. The wealthy have been laughing at us for 12,000 years – it's not funny anymore! In a fictional, yet familiar world that occasionally intersects our own, we listen in as aspiring authoritarian leader, Hugo Sensationist, persuades rising liberal star, Troy Laboy, to switch sides. In the process we get to consider the many different times that the nation of Everything could have stopped being great, all the time highlighting the huge unfairness in society. Surely the recipe for a dark and dull, yet worthy snoozefest. Nope, they're an oddball pair who swing effortlessly between wisdom and stupidity, ensuring a persistently funny and greased easy read to make even the least questioning of us ask, "Whose side am I on?" If you reach the end and aren't cheering for the losers, you're clearly one of the sleazy, grubbing upper-class barstewards who've been laughing at the rest of us for 12,000 years. Congratulations, but we're past laughing.Mostra libro

Following Original Prin, a NYTBR Editor’s Choice and Globe and Mail Best Book, Dante’s Indiana is an extraordinary journey through the divine comedies and tragedies of our time. Middle-aged, married, but living on his own, Prin has lost his way. Desperate for money and purpose, he moves to small-town Indiana to work for an evangelical millionaire who’s building a theme park inspired by Dante’s Inferno. He quickly becomes involved in the difficult lives of his co-workers and in the wider struggles of their opioid-ravaged community while trying to reconcile with his distant wife and distant God. Both projects spin out of control, and when a Black teenager is killed, creationists, politicians and protesters alike descend. In the midst of this American chaos, Prin risks everything to help the lost and angry souls around him while searching for his own way home. Affecting and strange, intimate and big-hearted, Dante’s Indiana is a darkly divine comedy for our time.Mostra libro
This program is read by the author."In 37 short essays comedian Tom Papa reminds listeners that life's absurdities are here to stay and that everyone is doing the best they can. His tone and delivery are comforting, heartwarming, even therapeutic."- AudioFile Stand-up is all well and good, but observational humor that’s funny and warm may work best in books. And Tom Papa, whose loyal audiences are packed with “date night” couples of all ages, has perfected the form. In We're All In This Together, Papa’s thirty-seven short essays tackle these universal American topics, among others:–Love for Your First Car (“To Buy or Lease”)–The Truth about Personal Hygiene (“How You Know When It’s Time to Go”)–Date Nights (“Will You Go Out with Me?”)–Unfamiliar Hotel Rooms (“Why Nothing Works”)–Pets (“Cats–Ancient Menace”)–Drinking (“There’s no Cure for a Hangover”)–Ducking your Family, even Though you Love Them (“The Lesson of Mark Twain’s Cigars”)Tom Papa’s books make readers laugh, but–crucially–feel better about themselves while doing it. And while there’s thematic overlap with Papa’s stand-up, with a couple of exceptions, all the writing here is fresh for our book.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.Mostra libro
