    Summers at Blue Lake , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 620min
    She thought that her family was an open book, without secrets. Even as a child, Barbara Jean Ellington knew her grandmothers were lesbians, a truth they never concealed. During BJ's summer vacations at their home on Blue Lake, Nonna and Lena taught her to swim and play cards, provided a lively contrast to BJ's conservative parents, and comforted BJ when her first summer romance ended abruptly and without reason. Now, years later, BJ seeks refuge in her late grandmothers' house in the wake of her husband's affair. As she relives the languid summer days of her youth and prepares the house for sale, she struggles to come to terms not only with the looming threat of divorce, but also with the Pandora's Box of family revelations she uncovers in Nonna's hidden notebooks. In them, she discovers a 50-year family history littered with secrets from the past - secrets that have present day consequences for herself, her marriage, and for Travis, the boy who broke her heart during that long-ago summer. With discerning prose and compelling characters, Summers at Blue Lake follows in the tradition of best-selling authors such as Anita Shreve, Elizabeth Berg, and Sue Miller. ungekürzt.

    The Infinities , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 580min
    On a languid midsummer's day in the countryside, old Adam Godley, a renowned theoretical mathematician, is dying. His family gathers at his bedside: his son, young Adam, struggling to maintain his marriage to a radiantly beautiful actress; his 19-year-old daughter, Petra, filled with voices and visions as she waits for the inevitable; their mother, Ursula, whose relations with the Godley children are strained at best; and Petra's "young man" - very likely more interested in the father than the daughter - who has arrived for a superbly ill-timed visit.But the Godley family is not alone in their vigil. Around them hovers a family of mischievous immortals - among them, Zeus, who has his eye on young Adam's wife; Pan, who has taken the doughy, perspiring form of an old unwelcome acquaintance; and Hermes, who is the genial and omniscient narrator: "We too are petty and vindictive," he tells us, "just like you, when we are put to it." As old Adam's days on earth run down, these unearthly beings start to stir up trouble, to sometimes wildly unintended effect....Blissfully inventive and playful, rich in psychological insight and sensual detail, The Infinities is at once a gloriously earthy romp and a wise look at the terrible, wonderful plight of being human - a dazzling novel from one of the most widely admired and acclaimed writers at work today. ungekürzt.

    Killing Me Softly: Gideon Lowry Key West Mysteries, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 424min
    Between the gentle trade winds and the thriving tourist trade, the year-round summer days and the languid nights, the living is easy in Key West. That's just the way P.I. Gideon Lowry likes it. These days, when he's not bird-dogging AWOL witnesses for the state attorney's office, Gideon's at the keyboard, giving them Gershwin and Porter to chase away the blues and help chase down the booze. That's where Virginia Murphy finds him. Shrouded in somber white, she's come back to Key West to lay a real ghost to rest - by finding out who murdered her sister, Lila, nearly 40 years before. For Gideon, it's a gig that leads him down the darker side of memory lane - where haunting snatches of his own past, like the timeless melodies he plays, linger on. Secrets linger there, too. But they're buried as deeply as the paradise that was Florida's landscape, now entombed beneath the concrete of Bayard Cement. That ubiquitous family business - and the wealthy, influential clan behind it - are a wall that Gideon slams up against harder and harder as he investigates his hometown's hidden history. That's when Gideon takes the pledge - to unlock the shocking truth that Key West has concealed too long beneath its sunny, sultry surface, and to face a killer's music and dance. ungekürzt.

Amid the boisterous revelry of New Year’s Eve, the cord holding them together snaps.Now, one of them is dead...and another of them did it.Keep your friends close, the old adage goes.

    High Drama, Tantric Dreams
    Die Energie der LinieDie Malereien von Frederic Anderson (geb. 1973 in Luxemburg, lebt und arbeitet in London) zeichnen sich durch ein Gefühl der Fluiditat aus. Sie bestehen aus farbenfrohen Spuren, die von kurzen Strichen bis zu langen, trägen Linien reichen und über die Leinwand huschen. Anderson nutzt viszerale Gesten ungeübter, spontaner zeichnerischer Praktiken wie Graffiti und Kinderkritzelei oder Elemente aus der Kalligrafie. Besonders die Airbrush-Technik als schnelle Methode des Farbauftrags ist für Anderson das perfekte Werkzeug, um den Eindruck von Bewegung zu vermitteln. Dabei stehen seine Gemälde in der Tradition von Cy Twombly oder Martin Barre .Die erste Monografie High Drama, Tantric Dreams des Künstlers zeigt die Arbeiten der letzten zwei Jahre. Alex Bacon schrieb einen Essay und sprach mit dem Künstler.The Energy of the LineFrederic Anderson's (b. Luxembourg, 1973; lives and works in London) paintings are distinguished by a pervasive sense of fluidity. They consist of colorful traces ranging from curt dashes to long and languid lines that flit across the canvas. Anderson harnesses the visceral gestures of untrained and spontaneous graphical practices such as graffiti and children's scrawls as well as elements of calligraphy. The airbrush, a tool that allows for the rapid application of paint, is central to his technique, lending vibrant momentum to works that suggest the inspiration of Cy Twombly or Martin Barre .Titled High Drama, Tantric Dreams, the artist's first monograph presents his most recent works. Alex Bacon contributed an essay and spoke to the artist.

    Summary of Caste by Isabel Wilkerson: The Origins of Our Discontents , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 85min
    Note to listeners: This is an unofficial summary of Isabel Wilkerson’s Caste, designed to enrich your listening experience. Caste is the “foundation of our divisions," Isabel Wilkerson states in Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents. Standing resembles the bones of an old house, "the studs and joists that we can't find in the physical structures we call home." It is additionally similar to our bones, the auxiliary honesty of our innards generally kept imperceptible without X-beams. Caste or position or rank in this narrative resembles a nitty-gritty clinical history. "Station is a sickness." It is a languid toxic substance, "an intravenous trickle to the psyche," supporting a "safe framework" that is likewise powerless against its "poisons." It is cell, "atomic," "neurological," "cardiovascular." Like subduction-zone action underneath the Earth's surface, rank is "the inconspicuous stirrings of the human heart." Caste isn't, in any case, about "emotions or profound quality;" however, it does live on the hearts and propensities. Standing is a show, "a phase of incredible scale" with unremovable outfits and unforeseeable content. Rank is in front of an audience, "an exhibition," and standing is, likewise, by one way or another, "the silent attendant in an obscured theater." It is an enchantment "spell." An enterprise. A Sith Lord. A tall structure with an overwhelmed cellar. Like in The Matrix, "an inconspicuous power of man-made reasoning has overwhelmed the human species." It is a stepping stool, and we exist on its rungs. "Position is structure," whatever that implies correctly.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Debbie Shocair.

    EuroMedika , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 461min
    Philadelphia, 1982.Hazel, a truant teenager, takes refuge in a seedy alley off South Street dubbed “Nicotine Alley” under the protection of Logan Massey, a cannabis activist who dominates the alternative scene. Her most prized possession is an Olympus camera that supposedly has a soul and is able to capture the unseen. Seduced by Logan's anarchist ideology, Hazel aspires to expose the corruption inside the pharmaceutical industry. Martin Thomasson is Philadelphia's most eccentric medical student, whose body had been shattered in a car accident and reassembled by the city's top trauma experts using bolts, rods, and wires to hold his skeleton together. Despite the constant pain and hallucinations, the young man is studying to become a surgeon under the auspice of Dr. Dean McArthur, a languid, marble-faced sociopath. Such wonders can only happen at EuroMedika, a mysterious and eerie facility where chemical formulas and religious dogma mingle in a petri dish. These two worlds collide when Hazel sets off to infiltrate EuroMedika and bring down Dr. McArthur. Her quest proves to be short-lived, as the overreaching urchin quickly realizes she is no match for a mad scientist. When she finds herself framed for a string of crimes, all of her high principles fly out the window. To save herself, Hazel must give in to Dr. McArthur's demands - which go beyond sexual favors - and assist him in a secret experiment with her old friends as test subjects. Martin Thomasson, whose loyalty to the institute has begun to waver, could very well be her only hope for salvation. Wandering the sinister glass halls of EuroMedika, she learns that behind every miracle, there is a blood sacrifice. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Laura Jennings.
