    Anxious Masculinity in the Drama of Arthur Miller and Beyond (eBook, ePUB)
    This study examines the anxious male breadwinner as he is incarnated in Arthur Miller's most celebrated plays and as he resurfaces in different guises throughout American drama, from the 1950s to the present. It offers a compelling analysis of gender dynamics - staunchly homosocial, vaguely or overtly misogynistic, anxiously homophobic - and the legacy of this figure in the works of other American dramatists. Throughout, the book argues that the gendered anxieties exhibited by the anxious male breadwinner are the very ones invoked with such success by Donald Trump.Gleitman examines this figure in the plays of Tennessee Williams, later 20th century writers Lorraine Hansberry, David Mamet, August Wilson, and Sam Shepard (who reposition him in more racially and economically marginalized settings), and in the more recent work of Tony Kushner, Paula Vogel, and Lisa Kron and Jeanine Tesori, who shift their focus to the next generation, which seeks to escape his clutches and forge new, often gleefully queer identities. The final chapter concerns contemporary Black dramatists Suzan-Lori Parks, Jackie Sibblies Drury, and Jeremy O. Harris, whose plays move us from anxious masculinity to anxious whiteness and speak directly to the current moment.

    Missing Mr. Wingfield: Down the Cape, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 412min
    When a piano falls from the sky above her, Veronica Silver takes cover in a subway station. But the lone figure that she finds there is a far more frightening force than what she’s just escaped: he’s a salesman. And what he’s selling are memories - a lifetime of secrets reframed by a chilling question: “What if?”Pregnant at 16, but in love with the girl driving her to the clinic to “make things right", conflicted Veronica kept her baby. But now, eight years later, trapped in a loveless marriage to the father of her child, she questions every choice she’s ever made. Would life be better if she finally came out to her homophobic dad, if she finally left her shamelessly sleazy husband, and moved in with the love of her life instead?Maybe, she thinks. But is “better” for Veronica better for her daughter Tracy? Or will Tracy be forced to wrestle with the fallout of Veronica’s actions? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Erin Bateman.

    Deflowered: My Life in Pansy Division , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 469min
    We're the buttf--kers of rock-and-roll, We want to sock it to your hole! With these words written in a notebook, Jon Ginoli sets off on a journey of self-discovery and musical passion to become the founding member of Pansy Division, the first out and proud queercore punk rock band to hit the semi-big time. Set against the changing decades of music, we follow the band from their inception in San Francisco, to their search for a music label and a permanent drummer to their current status as indie rock icons. We see the highs - touring with Green Day - and the lows - homophobic fans - of striving for acceptance and success in the world of rock. Replete with the requisite tales of sex, drugs, groupies, band fights and label battles, this rollicking memoir is also an impassioned account of staying true to the artistic vision of queer rock'n'roll. ungekürzt.

    Cowboys Don't Ride Unicorns , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 514min
    A Cowboys Don't story. Cowboy Danny Boone - a name he made up one drunken night and has regretted ever since - harbors a big past and yearns for a small future. A short, bright career as a champion bull rider almost ended in his death when his homophobic father discovered Danny was gay. Now Danny longs for a plot of land he can build a ranch on, enough money to make up for some of the education he missed, and, secretly, a beautiful femme who likes to top - a combo rarer than a unicorn. Then, onto the guest ranch where Danny works, drives San Francisco decorator Laurie Belmont, a young man so gorgeous he makes the horses gasp, and so ballsy he almost kills Danny's attacker. Laurie's trying to find his way out from under the thumb of a domineering mother, helpless father, and rich, privileged boyfriend. But no matter the attraction, their lives are worlds apart, and cowboys don't ride unicorns. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: K.C. Kelly.

    Twenty-two year old Ellie has finally worked up the courage to leave her homophobic family and escape to the Big Apple, but Brooklyn rent doesn't come cheap. When she meets beautiful freelance illustrator Steph, she seems like the answer to her prayers - at least, so long as she can keep the work coming in, and keep her past from coming to snatch her back out of the city. But while the chemistry is there, the circumstances aren't in Ellie's favor. Not only is Steph reluctant to date a girl with such prominent 'issues', but an impromptu visit from her sister means she's going to have to remember how to hide all the things she's been able to embrace - and in doing so, push Steph even further away. Can this small-town software designer hold onto the freedom she's always wanted? Is freedom what she's really looking for? And even if it is, will falling for Steph only break her heart twice over? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Olivia Hunter.

    MA1 Iskander Ayhan's orders are simple: stay with Admiral Dalton's son as his plainclothes bodyguard while he attends university classes. So typical - a high-ranking officer abusing Navy resources for unnecessary security as a status symbol. But it doesn't take long before Iskander realizes he's not really there to protect the kid from benign harassment by homophobic classmates. Behind the piercings, eyeliner, and bad attitude, Troy Dalton is hiding something. He's scared, and although he's not so sure the armed bodyguard by his side is enough to keep him safe, he can't risk revealing the truth. Slowly, Iskander gains Troy's trust, and the walls start coming down, but before they know it, the two men are way too close to each other...and suddenly Iskander is attracting more danger to the man he's sworn to protect. Now he doesn't know how to keep Troy safe from harm - by staying close to him, or getting as far away from him as possible. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Nick J. Russo.
