How to Be a Man , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min
Never acknowledge the fact that you're a girl, and take pride when your guy friends say, 'You're one of the guys.' Tell yourself, 'I am one of the guys,' even though, in the back of your mind, a little voice says, 'But you've got girl parts.' A girl whose self-worth revolves around masculinity, a bartender who loses her sense of safety, a woman who compares men to plants, and a boy who shoots his cranked-out father. These are a few of the hard-scrabble characters in Tamara Linse's debut short story collection, How to Be a Man. Set in contemporary Wyoming - the myth of the West taking its toll - these stories reveal the lives of tough-minded girls and boys, self-reliant women and men, struggling to break out of their lonely lives and the emotional havoc of their families to make a connection, to build a life despite the odds. How to Be a Man falls within the tradition of Maile Meloy, Tom McGuane, and Annie Proulx. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: P. J. Morgan.

Electric Touch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 66min
Once, long ago when I was a pompous rock ‘n’ roll guitar player and Lizzie Delmonico was in a dance crew with Victoria (my girlfriend at the time), Lizzie and I had almost had an affair. We had the kind of chemistry that defies logic. It has been over 10 years. The then-girlfriend has long since become a wife and the mother of my two children. Just when I decide to retire from the rock ‘n’ roll scene to focus on my family, Victoria decides that she has had enough of me. Sadly, she dies in a grisly car accident three days before we are due to sign the divorce papers. It is now entirely up to me to raise my two children, and I realize that it is a far cry from what I am used to. See, I have always been the fun parent. All I have ever cared about was the fun and games. To Emma and Scott, my two kids, Lizzie is Aunt Lizzie, mommy’s friend who is around even more than dad. We are all grieving Victoria’s passing, so it is only natural that she checks up on us all. But what happens in those moments when the kids are put to bed and the adults grab a beer and talk about the old times? Time heals all things, but does it heal attraction? ungekürzt.

Devotion: A Rat Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 52min
From one of the most popular and acclaimed story writers of her generation, a single-volume short story. "That the yellow house was thrillingly affordable might have been a warning sign if Eleanor had known how to read it. But she'd been desperate. She was sharing a room with her four-year-old daughter, Hattie, in her parents' house, and she had to get out." From the award-winning novelist and short story writer Maile Meloy, Devotion: A Rat Story is an exquisitely unsettling tale about a young single mother whose new home becomes a kind of nightmare she must resolve on her own. Eleanor is in such a rush to move away from her parents that she allows an imperious realtor to rush her to close on the too-good-to-be-true home without an inspection. Shortly after the house becomes legally hers - with every cent and all of her pride and future tied up in the property - the giant rats show themselves. In the yard, in the kitchen, on her daughter's bed. A walk around the block reveals a decrepit neighboring house where two elderly sisters are feeding and fostering thousands of unusual "pets". What has Eleanor done? What action can she possibly take now? In Meloy's characteristically clean, assured style, she captures the hopes and horrors of domestic life with an element of suspense that drives the listener feverishly to the end. ungekürzt.
