    The Found Child: A Tale of Unauthorized Parenthood , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 59min

But does that tenet apply when the found object is an abandoned baby on a bus stop bench, and the keepers two affluent gay men who have always wanted a child?

    Named a MOST ANTICIPATED book by Vogue, Literary Hub, The Millions, Good Housekeeping, and Oprah Daily From the ​prizewinning, debut fiction author: an exhilarating virtuosic story collection about women navigating the wilds of male-dominated Alaskan society. Set in Newman's home state of Alaska, Nobody Gets Out Alive is a collection of dazzling, courageous stories about women struggling to survive not just grizzly bears and charging moose but the raw, exhausting legacy of their marriages and families. In "Howl Palace"—winner of The Paris Review's Terry Southern Prize, a Best American Short Story, and Pushcart Prize selection—an aging widow struggles with a rogue hunting dog and the memories of her five ex-husbands while selling her house after bankruptcy. In the title story, "Nobody Gets Out Alive," newly married Katrina visits her hometown of Anchorage and blows up her own wedding reception by flirting with the host and running off with an enormous mastodon tusk.

The final story takes place in a railroad camp in 1915, where an outspoken heiress stages an elaborate theatrical in order to seduce the wife of her husband's employer, revealing how this masterful storyteller is "not only writing unforgettable, brilliantly complex characters, she's somehow inventing souls" (Kimberly King Parsons, author of Black Light).

    Beautiful Days: Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 785min
    A new collection of 13 mesmerizing stories by American master Joyce Carol Oates, including the 2017 Pushcart Prize-winning "Undocumented Alien". The diverse stories of Beautiful Days, Joyce Carol Oates explore the most secret, intimate, and unacknowledged interior lives of characters not unlike ourselves, who assert their independence in acts of bold and often irrevocable defiance. "Fleuve Bleu" exemplifies the rich sensuousness of Oates's prose as lovers married to other persons vow to establish, in their intimacy, a ruthlessly honest, truth-telling authenticity missing elsewhere in their complicated lives, with unexpected results. In "Big Burnt", set on lushly rendered Lake George, in the Adirondacks, a cunningly manipulative university professor exploits a too-trusting woman in a way she could never have anticipated. "The Nice Girl" depicts a young woman who has been, through her life, infuriatingly "nice", until she is forced to come to terms with the raw desperation of her deepest self. In a more experimental but no less intimate mode, "Les beaux jours" examines the ambiguities of an intensely erotic, exploitative relationship between a "master" artist and his adoring young female model. And the tragic "Undocumented Alien" depicts a young African student enrolled in an American university who is suddenly stripped of his student visa and forced to undergo a terrifying test of courage. In these stories, as elsewhere in her fiction, Joyce Carol Oates exhibits her fascination with the social, psychological, and moral boundaries that govern our behavior - until the hour when they do not. ungekürzt.

    The History of Baseball: A Short Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 100min
    Has anyone ever told you that baseball is more than a game, that it's really a metaphor for life? Have you ever wondered what they meant? This story imagines the answer. A single mother moves to Kansas City with her young daughter and notices that everyone she meets - her new colleagues, neighbors, even the mailman - can't stop talking about baseball. "It's more than just a game," they tell the mother. "It's so much more. What you need is to come to a game and experience it." Again and again the mother makes her excuses - she is busy with work, and parenting, and fending off her ex, who keeps drunk texting, threatening to sue for custody - and just doesn't have time to get out to the stadium. But baseball, it seems, won't take no for an answer. One day a Kansas City Royals outfielder moves into the neighborhood. And things only get stranger from there.... Soon enough the mother begins to realize that her participation in America's favorite pastime might not be optional - it might be compulsory, a mandatory part of American life. In fact, whether she keeps her daughter and her job might depend on her learning to play the game. She stalls as long as she can, until one day an unexpected confrontation with three of baseball's official representatives - a sort of existential World Series - determines her fate. Christie Hodgen is the author of three highly acclaimed books of fiction, most recently Elegies for the Brokenhearted, hailed by The New York Times Book Review as "the literary equivalent of a hand grenade". Her awards include a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, two Pushcart Prizes, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. She lives in Kansas City. ungekürzt. Language: English.

    50 Things Kate Bush Taught Me about the Multiverse
    This book is of course for the many Kate Bush fans of the world, but it's certainly not necessary to be well acquainted with Bush's work to enjoy this collection. It's also suited for any fans of 80s and 90s pop culture. Some allusions reference, for instance: Peter Gabriel, Roxy Music, Helmut Newton, Carrie(film), Poltergeist, Interview with a Vampire, The Silence of the Lambs, Joyce Carol Oates, Robert Lowell, Wallace Stevens, Emily Dickinson, Julie London, Wilhelm Reich, Bridge to Terabithia, MTV, and so many more. Given the Kate Bush influence on this, we'd also love to push this in the UK as much as possible. McGlynn would also love to do events in the UK if possible! We'd love any available help with this. Other target audiences include LGBTQ+ readers, anyone who grew up with MTV in the 80s and 90s, etc. It would be INCREDIBLE to get someone from SNL to blurb or push this book, given Kate Bush's SNL performance that introduced her to the US. If any sales reps have contacts or suggestions for this, please send them along! McGlynn's most recent book with us, Hothouse, was named a NYT Editor's Choice in 2017. Recent awards, among many others, include the Rumi Prize for Poetry from The Arts & Letters, selected by Cate Marvin, and a Pushcart Prize Special Mention. Karyna McGlynn is currently an Assistant Professor of Creative Writing & English Literature at Christian Brothers University in Memphis. She plans to tour extensively, and after living and studying in so many cities, she has a vast network of connections around the country. Possible cities where McGlynn has lived previously include: Marfa, TX (where she is also getting married this year), Austin, TX, Houston, TX, Ann Arbor, MI, Seattle, WA, Oberlin, OH, Madison, WI, Jacksonville, IL. She also has contacts for potential readers and audience members in: Tuscaloosa, AL, San Diego, CA, Atlanta, GA, Louisville, KY, Chicago, IL, Kalamazoo, MI, Minneapolis, MN, Kansas City, MO, Oxford, MS, Portland, OR, Nashville, TN, Sewanee, TV, San Antonio, TX, Madison, WI, Milkwaukee, WI. McGlynn woud also love to read in the UK.
