Sinopse

The blackly comic energy of Nathanael West’s Miss Lonelyhearts—its caustic ebullience, the strange buoyancy of its suffering—is a remarkably American achievement, a kind of death-dance capered on the corpse of a vividly rendered early 1930s Manhattan. In the darkening curl of the Depression, misery is the fulcrum of national experience, a dismal engine that purrs especially for West’s titular protagonist. As a newspaper advice columnist, he is privy to the secret despair of an American chorus: the lost, the young, the deformed, the forgotten.|Fadedpage|

    Get hooked with The Wine Club. 
    Most people can’t tell a good wine from a bottle of Two-Buck Chuck. At least that’s what Reggie and Audrey decide one night while celebrating their daughters’ election to the elite Mohave High Pom Squad. But cheerleading in Scottsdale is expensive, and both women are strapped for cash and going through a rough patch. Reggie’s husband announced he’s gay and wants a separation. Audrey’s husband is entering rehab. 
    What if they could earn money by selling cheap wine in fancy bottles? How hard could it be? 
    As they perfect their high-stakes con, they enlist the help of Cynthia, an ex-Mrs. Arizona with her own problems. When the money flows, their greed and mistrust grow…as does the realization that they are now a team of real-life female criminals. 
    The Wine Club is a witty, wicked tale of suburban crime. With its dark humor, creative satire, a twisted plot, and female criminals who "break bad," this suspenseful novel is filled with surprising twists and turns, and one you won't put down.

    In Stephen Fry in America, the beloved British comic turns his celebrated wit and insight to unearthing the real U.S. as he travels across the continent. 
     
    Stephen Fry has always loved America. In fact, he came very close to being born here. His fascination for the country and its people sees him embarking on an epic journey across America, visiting each of its fifty states to discover how such a huge diversity of people, cultures, languages, and beliefs creates such a remarkable nation. Stephen starts his journey on the East Coast and zigzags across America, stopping in every state from Maine to Hawaii, talking to each state’s hospitable citizens, listening to music, visiting landmarks, viewing small-town life and America’s breathtaking landscapes, following wherever his curiosity leads him. 
     
    En route he discovers the South Side of Chicago with blues legend Buddy Guy, catches up with Morgan Freeman in Mississippi, strides around with Ted Turner on his Montana ranch, marches with Zulus in Mardi Gras in New Orleans, drums with the Sioux Nation in South Dakota, joins a Georgia family for Thanksgiving, “picks” with bluegrass hillbillies, and finds himself in a Tennessee garden full of dead bodies. 
     
    Whether in a club for failed gangsters in Brooklyn, New York (yes, those are real bullet holes), or celebrating Halloween in Salem, Massachusetts (is there anywhere better?), Stephen is welcomed by the people of America—mayors, sheriffs, newspaper editors, park rangers, teachers, and hoboes, bringing to life the oddities and splendors of each locale. A celebration of the magnificent and the eccentric, the beautiful and the strange, Stephen Fry in America is the author’s homage to this extraordinary country.
