If the River Was Whiskey
by T. C. BoyleIn sixteen stories, T.C. Boyle tears through the walls of contemporary society to reveal a world at once comic and tragic, droll and horrific. Boyle introduces us to a death-defying stuntman who rides across the country strapped to the axle of a Peterbilt, and to a retired primatologist who can't adjust to the "civilized" world. He chronicles the state of romance that requires full-body protection in a disease-conscious age and depicts with aching tenderness the relationship between a young boy and his alcoholic father. These magical and provocative stories mark yet another virtuoso performance from one of America's most supple and electric literary inventors.

If... Stands Up
by Steve BellA new satirical extravaganza from one of Britain&’s best-loved political cartoonistsSteve Bell&’s If… cartoon strip in the Guardian attracted generations of loyal readers. If… Stands Up is his hilarious commentary on our current political madness.Unmissable highlights include a Jubilee fly-past over Buckingham Palace by Boris Johnson&’s bottom. Liz Truss taking back control of her own eyeballs. A dead-horse race between zombie "Treeza" May and pink-rubber fiend David Cameron, towing his bijou shepherd&’s hut. Rishi Sunak flogging the skeletal remains of Margaret Thatcher. Donald Trump with a golden toilet seat brain. And Keir Starmer, aka Keeves the butler, assuring the toffs that "the below-stairs movement is realigning its values with those of the British people." If… Stands Up also keeps a gimlet eye on Charles and the Royals.Bell draws an unforgettable picture of a nation that has left reality behind. Why did the chlorinated chicken cross the Atlantic? Who needs hell when you have the Conservative Party? Might the Labour leadership simply be robots in disguise? In a world of war and chauvinism, Bell picks himself up and goes in search of a new source of laughs. In this, if nothing else, Westminster politics rarely disappoints.

Il Campeggio Biblico Dello Zio Bob Con La Flanella Rossa (Dall'Eden all'Arca)
by Ana-Maria Hertel Steve VernonSe vuoi davvero sapere cosa è successo nel giorno in cui Noè ha costruito quel grande vecchio zoo galleggiante, dovresti DAVVERO parlare con lo Zio Bob. Mentre sei lì, farlo entrare in tutte le informazioni interne su ciò che DAVVERO è successo nel Giardino dell'Eden, perché anche lui lo sa. Questa è la storia del Vecchio Testamento raccontata di nuovo dal narratore con la flanella rossa sé stesso - cioè, lo Zio Bob. "Ho riso fino a quando ho pianto." - Veronica Dorval "Una delle interpretazioni più rinfrescanti del Libro della Genesi che ho letto da molto tempo." - SD Hintz "Jeff Foxworthy DAVVERO avrebbe dovuto scrivere l'introduzione." - Christine S. Tryon Storie vere, raccontate sinceramente - con solo poche bugie spruzzate nell'interesse dell'interesse. Ricorda - Dio ha inventato ridere.

Il Lato Oscuro Di Disney
by Daniela Giovannetti Leonard KinseyOra hai nelle tue mani le chiavi per una vacanza a Walt Disney World come nessun'altra. Non importa quanti soldi tu abbia o quante volte sia stato in questi parchi divertimento o quanto veramente odi la parata di "It's a small world", questo libro ti mostrerà un lato del Regno di Walt Disney unico, eccitante e assolutamente, inequivocabilmente NON autorizzato da Disney. In queste pagine troverai non solo consigli sulle migliori tariffe per voli, cibo e alloggio (consigli banditi dalle guide ufficiali e anche dalla maggior parte dei siti e dei forum non ufficiali), ma anche le discussioni sui posti migliori dove fare sesso, drogarsi e vedere un coraggioso rock show, completo di donne che lanciano la biancheria intima sul palco. Leggerai le testimonianze di alcune persone che sono saltate fuori dai veicoli in corsa e che hanno visitato le zone off - limits, che hanno nuotato in laghi infestati dagli alligatori per vedere le rovine dei parchi abbandonati e che hanno eluso la security per attraversare i misteriosi tunnel sotto il Magic Kingdom. Troverai consigili su come evitare non solo la pericolosa fauna selvatica della Florida, ma anche i pericolosi truffatori che infestano Orlando come zanzare, impazienti di spillarti i soldi duramente guadagnati con il loro merchandise contraffatto, i biglietti illegali e i tour organizzati improbabili. Perché voglio essere molto chiaro a riguardo, IO AMO WALT DISNEY WORLD! Conosco questi parchi di divertimento come il palmo delle mie mani e potrei camminarci a occhi chiusi, guidato solo dai deliziosi odori e dai suoni attentamente prodotti da quei brillanti Ingegneri della Fantasia. Voglio che sia inoltre chiaro che sono un fan accanito di Walt Disney, ho divorato ogni documentario e biografia su quest'uomo. Trovo che la sua vita sia una vera fonte di ispirazione, la sua determinazione nonostante tutto fosse a suo sfavore e il suo pensiero visionario, sempre un passo avanti riguardo non solo
