An Off-White Christmas , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 398min
An Off-White Christmas features a dozen stories all set on or around Christmas, though, with little to no clear religious emphasis. Instead, these stories explore life changes and choices and chaos in times of heightened drama, when family and friends and life partners merge to form cohesive units, happy or otherwise. The stories range from a gambling spree in Las Vegas to a caravan traveling to Baraboo; from a teepee hotel in Kentucky to a retro movie theatre in Arizona; from a jolly Santa lookalike to a frustrated Dickensian actor; from students to retirees.Christmas, in these stories, is a character as much as a setting - it acts upon and with plot to create tension, but each story is unique. It’s hardly all sugar plums and pure white flakes, but always, there’s that hope. Just as the notion of a “white Christmas” evokes well-worn traditions of the holiday, these dozen “unwhite Christmas” stories introduce potential traditions that could expand and augment the Christmas spirit. ungekürzt.

I Married a Communist: Nathan Zuckerman, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 686min
Winner of the 1999 Ambassador Book Award of the English-Speaking Union in Fiction Iron Rinn, born Ira Ringold, is a Newark roughneck, a radio actor, an idealistic Communist, and an educated ditchdigger turned popular performer. A six-foot, six-inch Abe Lincoln lookalike, he emerges from serving in World War II passionately committed to making the world a better place and instead winds up blacklisted, unemployable, and ruined by a brutal personal secret from which he is perpetually in flight. His life is in ruins. On his way to political catastrophe, he marries the nation's reigning radio actress and beloved silent film star, Eve Frame (born Chava Fromkin). Their marriage evolves from glamorous, romantic idyll to a disparaging soap opera of tears and treachery when Eve's dramatic revelation to gossip columnist Bryden Grant of her husband's life of espionage with the Soviet Union soon twists the couple's private drama into a national scandal. I Married a Communist is an American tragedy as only Philip Roth can conceive...fierce and comical, eloquently rendered, and definitely accurate. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ron Silver.

But time is running out, especially when a body is found dumped in the woods - a woman who's a dead ringer for Louise.
