    The Third Person
    A boldly drawn, unforgettable memoir about trauma and the barriers to gender affirming health care In the winter of 2004, a shy woman named Emma sits in Toby's office. She wants to share this wonderful new book she's reading, but Toby, her therapist, is concerned with other things. Emma is transgender, and has sought out Toby for approval for hormone replacement therapy. Emma has shown up at the therapy sessions as an outgoing, confident young woman named Katina, and a depressed, submissive workaholic named Ed. She has little or no memory of her actions when presenting as these other two people. And then Toby asks about her childhood . . . As the story unfolds, we discover clues to Emma's troubled past and how and why these other two people may have come into existence. As Toby juggles treating three separate people, each with their own unique personalities and memories, he begins to wonder if Emma is merely acting out to get attention, or if she actually has Dissociative Identity Disorder. Is she just a troubled woman in need of help? And is "the third person" in her brain protecting her, or derailing her chances of ever finding peace? The Third Person is a riveting memoir from newcomer Emma Grove. Drawn in thick, emotive lines, with the refined style of a comics vet, Grove has created a singular, gripping depiction of the intersection of identities and trauma. The Third Person is a testament to the importance of having the space to heal and live authentically.

    Happy Hour
    With the verve and bite of Ottessa Moshfegh and the barbed charm of Nancy Mitford, Marlowe Granadoss stunning début brilliantly captures a summer of striving in New York CityRefreshing and wry in equal measure, Happy Hour is an intoxicating novel of youth well spent. Isa Epley is all of twenty-one years old, and already wise enough to understand that the purpose of life is the pursuit of pleasure. She arrives in New York City for a summer of adventure with her best friend, one newly blond Gala Novak. They have little money, but thats hardly going to stop them from having a good time.In her diary, Isa describes a sweltering summer in the glittering city. By day, the girls sell clothes in a market stall, pinching pennies for their Bed-Stuy sublet and bodega lunches. By night, they weave from Brooklyn to the Upper East Side to the Hamptons among a rotating cast of celebrities, artists, Internet entrepreneurs, stuffy intellectuals, and bad-mannered grifters. Resources run ever tighter and the strain tests their friendship as they try to convert their social capital into something more lasting than precarious gigs as au pairs, nightclub hostesses, paid audience members, and aspiring foot fetish models. Through it all, Isas bold, beguiling voice captures the precise thrill of cultivating a life of glamour and intrigue as she juggles paying her dues with skipping out on the bill. Happy Hour is a novel about getting by and having fun in a world that wants you to do neither.

    In Bed with Susie Bright 534: Strip Clubs Paying 'Rape' Tax and Wall Street Man Tells His Sex Story, Hörbuch, Digital, 34min, (USK 18)
    Today's show delves into strip clubs, Wall Street, and bisexuality. First up, Susie looks into how some US states are declaring war on strip clubs. A new trend is emerging: adult entertainment venues are being charged a tax, with the dollars raised intended to fund rape crisis and sexual-assault centers. Pole taxes are linking sexually oriented businesses with perpetuating sexual violence. Do these go hand-in-hand? Susie thinks this is all a scam. Show the proof please; it just doesn't make sense. Next in "Tell Me Your Sex Story", we continue with our listener interviews in which people like you step into Susie's sexual confession booth. Today we meet "Aaron", a 41-year-old man from New Jersey. Aaron is a Wall Street worker who juggles money and sexual freedom. Susie and Aaron talk about what happened to the 42nd Street girlie shows, and Aaron has some questions: "How do I talk to my young daughters about sex?" and "My industrial vibrator just bit the dust. What should I do now?" Then, from our "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie has a letter from a young man, a big fan, who is in need of some consultation. He asks, "Why am I only now figuring out that I'm bisexual?" Have a question? You can call Susie's hotline at 831-480-5110.

    A Hole in Juan: An Amanda Pepper Mystery , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 489min
    No matter the season, the Philadelphia private school where Amanda Pepper teaches English is never a center of tranquility. But with Halloween and the annual Mischief Night party only days away, the hope is that nothing more than old-fashioned vandalism and pranks will take place. No such luck. Trouble erupts long before the witching hour, as the school is plagued by a series of mishaps ranging from the trivial to the potentially deadly - and most of which seem to center on a group of popular seniors. A fire alarm rings during a test; all the orange and black paint is stolen from the art room; the mustard packets are taken from the cafeteria. Perhaps more serious: chemicals and equipment disappear from the science lab, as does one of Amanda's exams and her attendance book. And the dapper new science instructor, Juan Reyes, receives a threatening message recalling that a teacher was once flayed to death by his students. As Amanda juggles teaching, moonlighting as a private investigator with her husband, C. K. Mackenzie, and coping with C.K.'s visiting 16-year-old high-school-dropout nephew, she tries to find out what, or who, is behind the ominous events. Before she can unmask the tricksters, the turmoil in the school increases when students rise up against the administration's censuring (and censoring) of a campus poet. Then unrest escalates into a lethally explosive menace, and Amanda receives a warning that there is more - and far worse - to come. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Susan Denaker.

    James Patterson Still Can't Beat Detective Frank Jones : James Patterson Can't Beat Detective Frank Jones, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 121min
    Detective Frank Jones begins with an unsolved murder of another young college student. He is informed by DHS (Department of Hit Security) and other Fed agencies that he is off the case. They are handling the murder investigation. The next day, Jamal McBrown, a 22-year-old African American male is found hanging above the Confederate Museum in Charleston. Jones and his new partner Mary Parker hit pay dirt during their interview of their first suspect, Vito Corlean, Sicilian Energy entrepreneur and billionaire. In a twist of bitter irony, Vito's daughter Melanie was dating Jamal despite her father’s condemnations, or did he condone the interracial union between the two? Yet, Frank now faces new enemies, including his new partner Mary Parker. Mary is 33 years old and juggles raising her son Nate and chasing bad guys. In lieu of Frank chemical imbalances, Mary goes through her own transformation, as she embraces a new alternative lifestyle of lesbianism. As Frank learns, Vito’s reach is like the Ravenel Bridge over the Cooper. Travel with Frank as he attempts to save his life by ending it; takes on a new identity in Palermo, Sicily, to infiltrate Vito’s family roots; and learns his wife is a lesbian as well. Set in Charleston, SC, and Palermo, Sicily, it is a travail of a detective most mortals would not survive.Thank you especially to Japan. The last book was number six under lesbian/gay fictional genre. I hope France, India, Canada, Brazil, Germany, and all over will embrace a new unconvetional Detective Frank Jones.

    Just as 200,000 fans are pouring into town for Race Week, a body is found in a barrel of asphalt next to the Charlotte Motor Speedway. The next day, a NASCAR crew member comes to Temperance Brennan’s office at the Mecklenburg County Medical Examiner to share a devastating story. Twelve years earlier, Wayne Gamble’s sister, Cindi, then a high-school senior and aspiring racer, disappeared along with her boyfriend, Cale Lovette. Lovette kept company with a group of right-wing extremists known as the Patriot Posse. Could the body be Cindi’s? Or Cale’s? At the time of their disappearance, the FBI joined the investigation, only to terminate it weeks later. Was there a cover-up? As Tempe juggles multiple theories, the discovery of a strange, deadly substance in the barrel alongside the body throws everything into question. Then an employee of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention goes missing during Race Week. Tempe can’t overlook the coincidence. Was this man using his lab chemicals for murder? Or is the explanation even more sinister? What other secrets lurk behind the festive veneer of Race Week? A turbocharged story of secrets and murder unfolds in this, the 14th thrilling novel in Reichs’s “cleverly plotted and expertly maintained series” (The New York Times Book Review). With the smash hit Bones about to enter its seventh season and in full syndication - and her most recent novel, Spider Bones, an instant New York Times best seller - Kathy Reichs is at the top of her game. ungekürzt.
