  Confessions of a Young Man by George Moore is a semi-autobiographical novel that delves into the bohemian life of a restless artist in 19th-century Paris. The protagonist, an Irishman navigating the vibrant and decadent world of art, literature, and romance, grapples with his ambitions, desires, and moral dilemmas. Through encounters with influential figures like Émile Zola and Stéphane Mallarmé, he immerses himself in the avant-garde literary scene while indulging in hedonistic pursuits. The narrative oscillates between introspection and satire, critiquing societal conventions and the pursuit of artistic greatness. Moore’s evocative prose captures the tension between idealism and cynicism, as the young man confronts the consequences of his choices. A candid exploration of youth, creativity, and self-discovery, Confessions of a Young Man reflects the struggles of an artist striving to find meaning amid chaos and temptation.

  The Good Mother Myth -...

  Timely and thought-provoking, Nancy Reddy unpacks and debunks the bad ideas that have for too long defined what it means to be a "good" mom.When Nancy Reddy had her first child, she found herself suddenly confronted with the ideal of a perfect mother—a woman who was constantly available, endlessly patient, and immediately invested in her child to the exclusion of all else. Reddy had been raised by a single working mother, considered herself a feminist, and was well on her way to a PhD. Why did doing motherhood "right" feel so wrong?For answers, Reddy turned to the mid-20th century social scientists and psychologists whose work still forms the basis of so much of what we believe about parenting. It seems ludicrous to imagine modern moms taking advice from midcentury researchers. Yet, their bad ideas about so-called “good” motherhood have seeped so pervasively into our cultural norms. In The Good Mother Myth, Reddy debunks the flawed lab studies, sloppy research, and straightforward misogyny of researchers from Harry Harlow, who claimed to have discovered love by observing monkeys in his lab, to the famous Dr. Spock, whose bestselling parenting guide included just one (1!) illustration of a father interacting with his child.This timely and thought-provoking audiobook will make you laugh, cry, and want to scream (sometimes all at once).  Blending history of science, cultural criticism, and memoir, The Good Mother Myth pulls back the curtain on the flawed social science behind our contemporary understanding of what makes a good mom.A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.
