    Rites of Passage was created with revolutionary production values to be a unique experience unlike any audiobook that preceded it. It's not an audio version of a book that's read. It's a symphony of stunning sound effects with a musical score featuring the Jefferson Airplane's Somebody to Love along with 82 pieces of world-wide music that completely immerses the listener in a hilarious coming of age, romantic adventure cast with 26 actors who actually sound like 37 comic characters caught in the midst of the Sexual Revolution in the backwoods of Mendocino, dodging the Vietnam War, in the late 1960's where everyone is trying to figure out what to do with their lives.

Beerbohm's tale is a lighter, more humorous version of Oscar Wilde's classic tale of moral degeneration, The Picture of Dorian Gray.

    Pulitzer Prize–winning poet James Tate returns with his fifteenth book of poetry, an exciting new collection that offers nearly one hundred fresh and thought-provoking pieces that embody Tate's trademark style and voice: his accessibility, his dark humor, and his exquisite sense of the absurd.  Tate's work is stark—he writes in clear, everyday language—yet his seemingly simple and macabre stories are layered with broad and trenchant meaning. His characters are often lost or confused, his settings bizarre, his scenarios brilliantly surreal. Opaque, inscrutable people float through a dreamlike world where nothing is as it seems. The Ghost Soldiers offers resounding proof, once again, that Tate stands alone in American poetry.

    From the incomparable New York Times and New Yorker illustrator Tamara Shopsin, a debut novel about a NYC printer repair technician who comes of age alongside the Apple computer.Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2021 by Lit HubLaserWriter II is a coming-of-age tale set in the legendary '90s indie NYC Mac repair shop TekServe—a voyage back in time to when the internet was new, when New York City was gritty, and when Apple made off-beat computers for weirdos. Our guide is Claire, a nineteen-year-old who barely speaks to her bohemian coworkers, but knows when it's time to snap on an antistatic bracelet.Tamara Shopsin brings us a classically New York novel that couldn't feel more timely. Interweaving the history of digital technology with a tale both touchingly human and delightfully technical, Shopsin brings an idiosyncratic cast of characters to life with a light touch, a sharp eye, and an unmistakable voice.Filled with pixelated philosophy and lots of printers, LaserWriter II is, at its heart, a parable about an apple.

    Big Mama blog founder and New York Times bestselling author Melanie Shankle helps us sort through our questions about being true to ourselves in a world gone crazy and what matters the most in the end. 
    These days, so many voices tell us what to do, what to think, and what kind of parent or friend or spouse to be that it's easy to feel overwhelmed and defeated. Somewhere in the midst of online arguments and crazy politics and the ups and downs of life, we've lost sight of the gifts that are all around us: kindness, love, mercy, and joy. 
    In On the Bright Side, Melanie Shankle reminds us of the unchanging principles we can count on in a changing world. These are lessons that Melanie has learned along the way about how to find all the joy that life has to offer--and why encouragement is never something to keep to ourselves. 
    Melanie invites us to lead with love in all areas of our lives, exploring topics such as:Finding your peopleGiving up on comparing and competingAging (kind of) gracefullyBelieving in ever afterStaying mostly sane while raising kidsThinking before speakingMaking decisionsAnd more! 
    This delightful memoir highlights the joys of life told in Melanie's down to earth, relatable, and totally enjoyable style. On the Bright Side is a how-to guide to knowing--and living--what matters most.
