Shoot Me, Jesus: Tales of the Old & New Southwest , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 346min
Shoot Me, Jesus is a “novel in short stories”, what writer Jane Lawless called “erotic magic realism with a Southwestern spiciness.” Humor is an essential element of each story. The 11 linked tales move forward and backward in time in the manner of flashbacks and foreshadowing in a novel, though the plots are always character-driven. It is their realizations, insights, and inner changes that move the collection along. While the characters retain their essences from story to story, the details of their lives, from their occupations to their sexual proclivities, change with each story. Their identities are malleable, yet who they are remains consistent. They develop by a process of accretion, a slow accumulation of personality traits. The author wondered how things might have turned out for the protagonist if he liked men instead of women, or was poor rather than comfortable. A mere 10 seconds can mean the difference between life and death. The smallest event can have enormous repercussions down the road, a kind of “butterfly effect” on a human life. Those are among the concepts explored in this anthology of short stories. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian Allan Skinner.

Give Sorrow Words: Maryse Holder's Letters from Mexico , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 703min
In 1976, Maryse Holder traveled to Mexico to pursue a life of sexual exploration. She wrote a series of letters describing her experiences, in which she expressed a desire to "wring a masterpiece from my life". Following Holder's brutal murder in Mexico at the age of 36, these letters became the basis for the book Give Sorrow Words: Maryse Holder's Letters from Mexico. Published in 1979 by Grove Press, with an introduction by Kate Millett, it was praised by The New York Times Book Review, the Kirkus Review, and her writing compared to Genet, Jean Rhys, and Henry Miller in it's sexual candor and artistry. In 2013, Edith Jones, the woman to whom Maryse Holder wrote those letters, re-issued Give Sorrow Words in a new edition. This long-forgotten masterpiece of feminist sexuality is timelier than ever, foreshadowing the blunt talk about a woman's erotic life embodied by Lena Dunham and others. Give Sorrow Words is the story of one woman's shocking descent into a provocative world of lust and danger. As Maryse Holder's letters explore the last, eventful months in her life, they speak directly to the listener - forcing us to confront the pain, and even sometimes the passion, of living on the very edge of life, to the end. ungekürzt.
