Sinossi

In Sewell Ford's whimsical novel, "Wilt Thou Torchy," readers are invited into the rollicking adventures of the endearing character Torchy Blane, a spirited young woman whose unyielding determination and quick wit lead her through a barrage of comedic misadventures. Ford's writing captures both the humor and the nuances of early 20th-century American society, employing a lively, conversational style that draws readers into a world of charming eccentricities and delightful dialogue. The novel is set against the backdrop of urban life in the 1920s, reflecting the optimism and the frivolity of the Roaring Twenties while simultaneously critiquing the social norms of the period, making it a treasure trove of historical context and literary wit. Sewell Ford was an American author, known for his sharp humor and relatable characters, who found inspiration in the cultural shifts of his time. His works often reflect the experiences and struggles of ordinary people, revealing insights into the complexities of human nature and societal expectations. Ford craved to entertain as well as enlighten, and "Wilt Thou Torchy" embodies his ability to fuse humor with genuine sentiment while showcasing the independent spirit of women in literature. For readers seeking a delightful escape filled with nuanced humor, engaging characters, and historical charm, "Wilt Thou Torchy" is an exceptional recommendation. This novel not only offers a compelling narrative but also invites readers to reflect on the evolution of gender roles and the enduring allure of a plucky heroine. Immerse yourself in Ford's vibrant world and discover the timeless adventures of Torchy Blane.

    The audio is a humorous and satirical monologue with a tech twist. It begins with a playful question about a computer's language capabilities—asking whether it knows C or C++. If not, the speaker jokes about asking if it knows made-up languages like D, D++, E, and E++. The humor is light-hearted and nerdy, appealing to those familiar with programming. 
    The tone shifts to an even more absurd suggestion: replacing a pillow with a keyboard to learn better. Then, the speaker creatively advises counting keyboard keys as a way to learn numbers, mimicking a step-by-step counting process. 
    The delivery is quirky, imaginative, and slightly nonsensical—clearly meant for comedic effect.

    In the third instalment of the hilarious Adrian Mole series, 16-year-old Adrian navigates his way into adulthood . . . 
     
    Monday June 13th 
    I had a good, proper look at myself in the mirror tonight. I've always wanted to look clever, but at the age of twenty years and three months I have to admit that I look like a person who has never even heard of Jung or Updike. 
     
    Adrian Mole is an adult. At least that's what it says on his passport. But living at home, clinging to his threadbare cuddly rabbit 'Pinky', working as a paper pusher for the DoE and pining for the love of his life, Pandora, has proved to him that adulthood isn't quite what he expected. 
     
    Still, without the slings and arrows of modern life what else would an intellectual poet have to write about . . .

    An all-new STANDALONE from New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent It all started with the wrong Help Wanted ad. Of course it did. I’m a professional fluffer. It’s NOT what you think. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits. Sigh. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Laugh. I’ll wait. See? That’s the problem. My career has used the term “fluffer” for decades. I didn’t even know there was a more… lascivious definition of the term. Until it was too late. The ad for a “professional fluffer” on Craigslist seemed like divine intervention. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day. The perfect job! Staging homes means showing your best angle. The same principle applies in making a certain kind of movie. Turns out a “fluffer” doesn’t arrange decorative pillows on a couch. They arrange other soft, round-ish objects. The job isn’t hard. Er, I mean, it is — it’s about being hard. Or, well… helping other people to be hard. Oh, man… And that’s the other problem. A man. No, not one of the stars on the movie set. Will Lotham – my high school crush. The owner of the house where we’re filming. Illegally. In a vacation rental. By the time the cops show up, what I thought was just a great house staging gig turned into a nightmare involving pictures of me with an undressed star, Will rescuing me from an arrest, and a humiliating lesson in my own naivete. My job turned out to be so much harder than I expected. But you know what’s easier than I ever imagined? Having all my dreams come true.

    After getting fired from her job as a fourth grade teacher, Jane takes on two jobs at once: as a nanny for twin babies and as a sexter for a famous porn star. Soon, Jane is feeding Franny and Zooey with one hand and shooting off ridiculous sexts with the other. At first, she feels it’s like a joke: a lot of her clientele are into scat play or “mystical bestiality.” By the end of her first month on the sexting-nanny jobs, Jane is making significantly more money than she could have ever made as a teacher. She sees a way to move out of her rundown childhood home on the California Central Coast; a way to finally have a nice place of her own. And it feels great—until Jane realizes she isn’t as anonymous as she thought.  
    SEXY LIFE, HELLO teeters between satire and literary thriller. Infused with creepy-gross moments reminiscent of Ottessa Moshfegh and Miranda July, a dark, twisting storyline in the tradition of Patricia Highsmith, and a dry wit uniquely Kicherer, this fascinating debut novella introduces a bold and exciting new voice in contemporary literature.
