Sinopse

Knut Hamsun's 'Look Back on Happiness' is a poignant novel that delves into the complexities of human emotions and relationships. Set in a small Norwegian town, the story follows the life of Ove Rolandsen, a telegraph operator who grapples with feelings of isolation and unfulfilled dreams.

The novel's exploration of love, ambition, and the passage of time resonates with readers seeking a deeper understanding of the human experience. Hamsun's use of stream-of-consciousness narrative adds depth to the characters and insight into their motivations, making 'Look Back on Happiness' a compelling and thought-provoking read.

    With her career as a Los Angeles event planner imploding after a tabloid blowup, Morgan Ross isn't headed home for the holidays so much as in strategic retreat. Breathtaking mountain vistas, quirky townsfolk, and charming small businesses aside, her hometown of Fern Falls is built of one heartbreak on top of another . . .Take her one-time best friend turned crush, Rachel Reed. The memory of their perfect, doomed first kiss is still fresh as new-fallen snow. Way fresher than the freezing mud Morgan ends up sprawled in on her very first day back, only to be hauled out via Rachel's sexy new lumberjane muscles acquired from running her family tree farm.When Morgan discovers that the Reeds' struggling tree farm is the only thing standing between Fern Falls and corporate greed destroying the whole town's livelihood, she decides she can put heartbreak aside to save the farm by planning her best fundraiser yet. She has all the inspiration for a spectacular event: delicious vanilla lattes, acoustic guitars under majestic pines, a cozy barn surrounded by brilliant stars. But she and Rachel will ABSOLUTELY NOT have a heartwarming holiday happy ending. That would be as unprofessional as it is unlikely. Right?

    A woman metamorphoses into a giant slug; another quite literally eats her heart out; a wasp falls in love with an orchid; and hair starts sprouting from the walls. These stories slip and slide between genres—from video games to fan fiction, body horror to choose-your-own-adventure—as characters cycle through giddying changes in gender, physiology, species, and identity. Collapsing boundaries between bodies and forms, these fictions interrogate the visceral, gross, and absurd."This book is fucking weird," wrote Brit Mandelo in 2015. It's only gotten weirder since. Slug and Other Stories is a revised and expanded edition of a contemporary cult classic. Now in audio, this collection is a testament to the messy anti-logic of queer feelings by a revelatory new voice.Contains mature themes.

    Numbers rule Dr. Mei Sharpe's life. She has no husband, one friend, two daughters, and three random meetings with the same woman within four weeks. Once is chance, twice is coincidence, but upon the third meeting, even Mei in all her empirical rigidness must admit that perhaps the universe is giving her a nudge. A nudge that lands her directly in the path of Lieutenant Morgan Kelly—an affable, charming detective for the Sheriff Department's brand-new cold case team working down the hall from Mei's morgue.More golden retriever than hard-boiled detective, Morgan is determined to pull the asocial widow out of her shell. As the icy scientist warms to her cheerful new friend, an irrepressible chemistry develops, and Mei begins to realize she's perhaps a different number on the Kinsey scale than previously considered.As Mei and Morgan struggle with guilt and grief, drama and desires, Mei finds her scientific austerity is no match for the universe and its nudges toward the startling revelation of what her heart really wants.Contains mature themes.

    In Hollywood, every pavement star tells a story. Not all of them shine. 
    Wannabe actor Kyle Macdonald is down on his luck. Working as a supply teacher in an inner-city Birmingham school, he's single again at 28 and sleeping in his childhood bedroom beneath a 'Hard Candy' Madonna poster. 
    He gets a call claiming he drunkenly married top Hollywood director Aaron Biedermeier in Vegas six years ago. Rather than panic, he sees a golden ticket to fame and the life he's always fantasised about. 
    But the glamorous veneer of Los Angeles – non-stop sunshine, celebrity actors and exclusive hotel suites - starts to crack, revealing a darker, corrupt underbelly to La-La Land. Kyle digs deeper into his so-called husband's past, unearthing disturbing allegations of abuse and underage sex parties. With the help of Biedermeier's fiancé, actor Noah Winters, he embarks on a cross-country race to unravel the mystery and expose the truth – finding love along the way. 
    Praise for Mo Fanning and Husbands 
    "I thoroughly enjoyed this dark, romantic road trip."  
    Tina Baker 
    "A head-snapping dive into a twisted and sexy tale of ambition, revenge and murder set against a sun-bleached tear-stained postcard sent postage-due from the heart of Hollywood Babylon."  
    Josh Lanyon 
    "Fanning's prose and dialogue are crisp, brisk, and incisive, and the characterisation is strong."  
    Publishers' Weekly 
     "Punchy writing and appealing characters."

    ‘April Ashley was born, aged twenty-five, on 12 May 1960. It was a difficult birth at the Clinique du Parc on rue Lapébie, a back street running parallel to the admired avenue d’Amade in Casablanca, on a day when the Moroccan sunshine was behaving the way the guidebooks say it should . . .’ 
    Through her own – often bloody-minded – determination and the medical skill of others, April Ashley became the woman she had always believed herself to be. 
    And for half a dozen decades she soared around, over and above momentous and turbulent times, difficult, and changing times when, finally, who you wanted to be and who you could be became the cultural topic of the day. 
    She overcame opprobrium and penury and became renowned and celebrated for one specific achievement: being April Ashley. 
    This raw, moving and funny memoir reveals April’s life as never before.
