  As it is often said in fairy tales and historical analyses, Maša's childhood years were a time when empires were falling—the time of the war in Croatia, 1991. Underground Barbie is set in that era, but also in the sounds of her childhood, the music, and the atmosphere that accompanied Barbie's move from plastic, yet safe, dollhouses to air-raid shelters. Her Barbie was interpreted and narrated by a famous Croatian singer Tatiana Tajči Cameron, known to the Croatian public primarily for her wildly successful music career that burst out while representing Yugoslavia during the Eurosong competition. This is a story about the Barbie generation, which still remembers Yugoslavia and socialism but truly grew up and formed its views and interests in the 1990s. It is also the last generation that seriously played with dolls. Later, electric toys prevailed, the family as the fundamental unit of society and children’s play disintegrated, and dolls became as unconvincing as fairy tales had a few decades earlier.  
  Maša Kolanović published several scholarly works and literary works: the poetry collection Leeches for the Lonely (2001), the novel Sloboština Barbie (2008), the prose poem Jamerika Trip (2013), and the short story collection Dear Insects and Other Creepy Stories (2019) for which she received the Vladimir Nazor Award, the European Union Prize for Literature, and the Libar za vajk Award, and was a finalist for the Fric Award. She is an associate professor in the Department of Croatian Studies at the University of Zagreb. 
  The publication of Underground Barbie audiobook is co-funded by the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia.

  Transformer - A Story of Glitter...

  In this funny and poignant memoir and cultural history, the television personality, columnist, and author of Drag pays homage to Lou Reed’s groundbreaking album Transformer on its fiftieth anniversary and recalls its influence on his coming of age and coming out through glam rock. 
  In November 1972, Lou Reed released his album, Transformer because he thought it was “dreary for gay people to have to listen to straight people’s love songs.” That groundbreaking idea echoed with the times. That same year, Sweden was the first country to legalize gender-affirming surgery, and San Francisco struck down employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. 
  Sometimes an artistic creation perfectly aligns with a broader social and political history, and Transformer—with the songs “Walk on the Wild Side,” “Perfect Day,” and “Vicious”—perfectly captured its time. “Walk on the Wild Side” was banned on radio across the country but became a massive hit when young people threatened to boycott stations that would not play it. The album's cover featured a high-contrast image of Lou, flaunting a new mascara'd glamrock incarnation, shot by legend Mick Rock, thereby underscoring his intention to create ""a gay album."" 
  In Transformer, Doonan tells the story of how Lou Reed came to make the album with the help of David Bowie, and places its creation within the course of Reed’s life. Doonan offers first-hand testimony of the album’s impact on the LGBTQ+ community, recalling how it transformed his own life as a 20-year-old working class kid from Reading, England, who had just discovered the joys of London Glam Rock and was sparked by the artistic freedom of Warhol’s The Factory. Transformer was a revelation—hearing Reed’s songs, Doonan understood how the world was changing for him and his friends. 
  A poignant, personal addition to modern music and LGBTQ+ history, Transformer captures a pivotal moment when those long silenced were finally given a voice. As transgender icon Candy Darling, highlighted in his lyrics, told Reed, “It’s so nice to hear ourselves.” 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. 
  This book would make a great gift for any music lover, LGBTQ+ activist, or history buff looking to learn more about the cultural impact of Lou Reed's Transformer album on the world.
