The Perfect Vehicle - What It Is...

Melissa Holbrook Pierson

"This book, a polished, winding meditation on the theory and fractiousness of motorcycles, celebrates both their eccentric history and the wary pleasures of touring."―The New Yorker 
 
In a book that is "a must for anyone who has loved a motorcycle" (Oliver Sacks), Melissa Pierson captures in vivid, writerly prose the mysterious attractions of motorcycling. She sifts through myth and hyperbole: misrepresentations about danger, about the type of people who ride and why they do so. The Perfect Vehicle is not a mere recitation of facts, nor is it a polemic or apologia. Its vivid historical accounts-the beginnings of the machine, the often hidden tradition of women who ride, the tale of the defiant ones who taunt death on the racetrack-are intertwined with Pierson's own story, which, in itself, shows that although you may think you know what kind of person rides a motorcycle, you probably don't.

The Thesmophoriazusae

Aristophanes

The Thesmophoriazusae, or Women Celebrating the Thesmophoria , is a comedy by Aristophanes that satirizes gender relations, religion, and the power of women in ancient Greek society. The plot centers on Euripides, who fears that the women of Athens—gathered to honor the goddess Demeter at the all-female Thesmophoria festival—will punish him for portraying them negatively in his tragedies. To secure his safety, he enlists his father-in-law Mnesilochus to infiltrate the festival disguised as a woman. Chaos ensues when Mnesilochus is caught, leading to a series of farcical escapes, witty wordplay, and sharp literary parody. Through slapstick humor and biting satire, Aristophanes critiques both Euripides’ dramatic themes and the social norms surrounding gender and religious ritual, making The Thesmophoriazusae a clever and provocative exploration of art, identity, and societal critique in classical Athens.

This Won't Help - Modest...

Eli Grober

Part catharsis, part diagnosis, this divinely wry collection from New Yorker and McSweeney's satirist Eli Grober will strike a chord with those who are dismayed by the chaos of our times. None of it will help—but a few good laughs won't hurt. Probably. 
 
 
 
There's a lot going on, all the time. It may feel overwhelming. Don't worry. It will end. This Won't Help is here for you in the meantime—with 100 short, sharp, satirical essays that skewer a world raging with inaction, while maximizing the profits of self-destruction. As if that would help! 
 
 
 
Eli Grober's biting, Swiftian prose spares no one—not the megalomaniacal billionaire fleeing Earth for a better life on unlivable Mars, not an extremely online family living completely off-grid, not even a fossil-fuel lobbyist insisting we all stop using straws. (Eli does spare a kind thought for the supremely intelligent listeners with the good sense to buy this book.) Maybe, just maybe, descending through the inferno of our environmental, economic, and political landscape will help us find real solutions to the hypocrisy and dysfunction that surrounds us. But probably not.
