  The pandemic has been with us for what seems like forever. And every day seems like Groundhog Day! You wake up. You eat. You Zoom with colleagues. You send emails. You binge watch television. You feed the dog. You ponder buying bitcoin or dogecoin for your four-legged best friend. And then the next day you do it all over again. This is not the life you or your dog expected. You both need more. 
   
   
   
  Your lab, pug, or poodle was happy when you stopped going to the office. But, frankly, after all these months of having you home, he is over it. What does your dog think? Probably just what laugh-out-loud canine humorist Bark Twain thinks: 
   
   
   
  ● Go the Bark to Work. You've been home for months and you're cramping my style. 
   
   
   
  ● Go the Bark to Work. I need to get with the poodle next door! 
   
   
   
  ● Go the Bark to Work. You need a shave—I'm afraid you have fleas! 
   
   
   
  With this funny opus, Bark Twain joins the pantheon of famous dogs who bring joy to our lives. Move over Snoopy, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Benji, Beethoven, and Lassie; Bark Twain is funnier, snarkier, and more street savvy than you'll ever be. And you just need to . . . Go the Bark to Work!

  Finally, a philosophy book that doesn't take itself as seriously as the theorists it eviscerates! "Nothing Means Anything" mercilessly skewers postmodernism's most pretentious thinkers with savage wit and zero academic mercy. 
  Journey through the impenetrable jargon, circular logic, and breathtaking hypocrisy of French intellectuals who made careers out of stating the obvious in the most confusing way possible. From Derrida's word games to Foucault's paranoid power trips, from Baudrillard's reality-denial to Lyotard's grand narrative about the end of grand narratives, this book translates postmodern gobbledygook into hilarious plain English. 
  Whether you're a traumatized humanities student seeking revenge on the theorists who destroyed your GPA, a curious reader wondering what all the fuss is about, or just someone who enjoys watching pretentious nonsense get thoroughly roasted, this irreverent guide delivers. You'll learn how to sound profound while saying absolutely nothing, why your IKEA catalog is more meaningful than your actual life, and how to win any argument by claiming everything is a "discourse" (don't forget the air quotes). 
  Warning: Reading this book in public may cause uncontrollable snorting, concerned looks from strangers, and a weird sense of relief that someone finally said what we've all been thinking about these turtleneck-wearing, cigarette-smoking harbingers of intellectual doom. May cause spontaneous clarity and the disturbing realization that these insufferable French people might occasionally have been right about something.

  “[A] social comedy with some brilliant people observations about ageing and a devilish plot twist” from the author of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (The Times, London).   After their elderly father’s fall, Phoebe and her brother, Robert, couldn’t be happier with his new caregiver, Mandy. She came to them with great recommendations and has given the brilliant, yet lonely, widower a new lease on life—though he is gossiping about the locals’ love affairs instead of debating science and politics.   But Phoebe and Robert soon become suspicious of Mandy—her rummaging about in their father’s papers, her strange inheritance from a former client, her habit of speaking her mind no matter the consequences. Then Robert discovers that their father has changed his will. Suddenly Mandy seems more devil than angel . . .   For the first time in years, Phoebe and Robert are bonding over something—even if it is their mutual distrust of Mandy. And what happens next will make the siblings question everything they thought they knew about their parents—and themselves.   “Moggach addresses an all too common nightmare with ruthless honesty and sublime wit—The Carer is one of the funniest novels I have read for ages.” —The Times (London)   “Unputdownable, fun and tender with characters that jump off the page. Perfection.” —Marian Keyes, international-bestselling author of Again, Rachel   “Joyous . . . a sustained satire on smug middle-class mores.” —Daily Mail   “The most endearing of humorists, Deborah Moggach casts a penetrating eye on our foibles and fantasies. Neither ageing, nor death—as The Carer so beautifully demonstrates—can resist her comic scrutiny.” —Lisa Appignanesi, award-winning author of Mad, Bad, and Sad
