  Written and read by food writer and New York Times contributor Besha Rodell—(formerly) one of the world’s last anonymous restaurant critics—comes this this witty and lively memoir.When Besha Rodell moved from Australia to the United States with her mother at fourteen, she was a foreigner in a new land, missing her friends, her father, and the food she grew up eating. In the years that followed, Rodell began waitressing and discovered the buzz of the restaurant world, immersing herself in the lifestyle and community while struggling with the industry’s shortcomings. As she built a family, Rodell realized her dream, though only a handful of women before her had done it: to make a career as a restaurant critic.From the streets of Brooklyn to lush Atlanta to sunny Los Angeles to traveling and eating around the world, and, finally, home to Australia, Rodell takes us on a delicious, raw, and fascinating journey through her life and career and explores the history of criticism and dining and the cultural shifts that have turned us all into food obsessives. Hunger Like a Thirst shares stories of the joys and hardships of Rodell’s coming-of-age, the amazing (and sometimes terrible) meals she ate along the way, and the dear friends she made in each restaurant, workplace, and home.A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

  The Ecclesiazusae

  Aristophanes

  In The Ecclesiazusae, Aristophanes presents a biting satire on radical social reform and gender roles in ancient Athens. The play follows a group of women, led by the intelligent Praxagora, who disguise themselves as men to gain entry into the Athenian assembly. Once inside, they pass laws transferring power to women and institute a bold experiment: communal ownership of property and even shared access to spouses, aiming to create an idealized egalitarian society. Through absurd situations, sharp dialogue, and comic exaggeration, Aristophanes explores themes of justice, equality, and the nature of governance. While mocking the notion of utopian socialism, the play also offers a critical reflection on the failures of Athenian democracy and the societal role of women. A provocative blend of humor and political commentary, The Ecclesiazusae challenges contemporary norms with Aristophanes’ signature wit and theatrical flair.
