    Remote: Reflections on Life in the Shadow of Celebrity , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 264min
    In this truly one-of-a-kind book, the author/narrator - a representative, in extremis, of contemporary American obsession with beauty, celebrity, transmitted image - finds himself suspended, fascinated, in the remoteness of our wall-to-wall mediascape. It is a remoteness that both perplexes and enthralls him.Through dazzling sleight of hand in which the public becomes private and the private becomes public, the entire book - clicking from confession to family-album photograph to family chronicle, to sexual fantasy to pseudo-scholarly footnote, to reportage to personal essay, to stand-up comedy to cultural criticism, to literary criticism to film criticism, to prose-poem to litany, to outtake - becomes both an anatomy of American culture and a searing self-portrait.David Shields reads his own life - reads our life - as if it were an allegory about remoteness and finds persuasive, hilarious, and heartbreaking evidence wherever he goes. ungekürzt.

    Sleeping Big in Smallville: A Telluride Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 592min
    In the 1970s, Telluride, Colorado is an extreme place, populated by extreme people made crazier by each other, the last bastion of the old West where living is fun, sex is easy, and death is nigh. A remote village with a backdrop of snowy peaks is the stage. It's inhabited by escapees from reality, the remoteness making for easy sex, cheap politicians, hippies, coke dealers, and a sprinkling of criminals hiding out in the mountains where the law is "flexible". The Bubba Ram, a phony guru, barely survives lost gambles, wasted love, and life and death clashes with civilization by rebels who pursue money and sex, and watch the town metamorphose into a free-thinking haven for the super-rich. ungekürzt.

    A Brief History of the House of Windsor: Brief Histories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 575min
    The British monarchy may be over a thousand years old, but the House of Windsor dates only from 1917, when, in the middle of the First World War that was to see the demise of the major thrones of continental Europe, it rebranded itself from the distinctly Germanic Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to the homely and familiar Windsor. By redefining its loyalties to identify with its people and country rather than the princes, kings and emperors of Europe to whom it was related by birth and marriage, it set the monarchy on the path of adaptation, making itself relevant and allowing it to survive. Since then, the fine line trodden by the House of Windsor between ancient and modern, grandeur and thrift, splendour and informality, remoteness and accessibility, and influence and neutrality has left it more secure and its appeal more universal today than ever. ungekürzt.
