Slander is a subversive and erotic story about a woman that crossed all red lines. She has a decent house, she has an academic husband, she has a beloved son, and yet she chooses to live on the street."For the first time life is good for me." She says, "Since I was on the sidewalk I feel beautiful." Until recently, she was a literature teacher in high school. Then she met N., a sensitive student and handsome 17-year-old. Painfully aware of her body, her advanced age, and the disappointments and compromises in her life, she drifts into a forbidden and impossible relationship with him. Only after she loses everything does she find the key to best-kept secret of happiness. Here, Hanna Goldberg - poet, lyricist, and author of two best sellers - delivers a delightful and witty novel in the original, surprising, and bold language that we have come to know from her songs.

You Don't Love Me Yet: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 375min

From the incomparable Jonathan Lethem, here is a raucous romantic farce that explores the paradoxes of love and art. Lucinda Hoekke spends eight hours a day at the Complaint Line, listening to anonymous callers air their random grievances. One frequent caller, who insists on speaking only to Lucinda, captivates her with his off-color ruminations and opaque self-reflections. In blatant defiance of the rules, Lucinda and the Complainer arrange a face-to-face meeting - and fall desperately in love.Consumed by passion, Lucinda manages only to tear herself away from the Complainer to practice with the alternative band in which she plays bass. Hoping to recharge the band's creative energy, Lucinda "suggests" some of the Complainer's philosophical musings to the band's lyricist, Bedwin. When Bedwin transforms them into brilliant songs, the band gets its big break, including an invitation to appear on L.A.'s premiere alternative radio show. The only problem is the Complainer. He insists on joining the band, with disastrous consequences for all.Brimming with satire and sex, You Don't Love Me Yet is a funny and affectionate send-up of the alternative band scene, the city of Los Angeles, and the entire genre of romantic comedy. But it remains unmistakably the work of the inimitable Jonathan Lethem. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Lethem.

The Butterfly Effect: How Kendrick Lamar Ignited the Soul of Black America

This "smart, confident, and necessary" (Shea Serrano, New York Times bestselling author) first cultural biography of rap superstar and "master of storytelling" (The New Yorker) Kendrick Lamar explores his meteoric rise to fame and his profound impact on a racially fraught America—perfect for fans of Zack O'Malley Greenburg's Empire State of Mind. Kendrick Lamar is at the top of his game. The thirteen-time Grammy Award-winning rapper is just in his early thirties, but he's already won the Pulitzer Prize for Music, produced and curated the soundtrack of the megahit film Black Panther, and has been named one of Time's 100 Influential People. But what's even more striking about the Compton-born lyricist and performer is how he's established himself as a formidable adversary of oppression and force for change. Through his confessional poetics, his politically charged anthems, and his radical performances, Lamar has become a beacon of light for countless people. Written by veteran journalist and music critic Marcus J. Moore, this is much more than the first biography of Kendrick Lamar. "It's an analytical deep dive into the life of that good kid whose m.A.A.d city raised him, and how it sparked a fire within Kendrick Lamar to change history" (Kathy Iandoli, author of Baby Girl) for the better.
