I’m Coming
by Selma Lønning AarøIn a society where we discuss sex openly, the most embarrassing secret is to admit that you can’t make “it” happen. I’m Coming is a hilarious and provocative novel about why women fake it.Ever since her sexual debut, Julie has faked orgasms. One day she decides she’s had enough and locks herself in the bedroom with food, baby oil, and Mr. Rabbit — a vibrator with a thirty-day orgasm guarantee. Lying in bed she reviews her sexual history: boyfriends, casual lovers, and, not least, the man she married. Meanwhile, her husband and their three children stomp around outside her bedroom, along with the sexually well-functioning Ukrainian au pair, all of them wondering why Julie isn’t coming. I’m Coming is a delectable comedy about society’s expectations of women and women’s expectations of themselves. Aarø writes deftly about sexuality, identity, and the media’s portrayal of what constitutes “normal.”
I’m Sure I Speak For Many Others…: Unpublished letters to the BBC
by Colin Shindler'Dear Mr. Adam, I am writing on behalf of the Central Watch and Social Problems Committee of the Mothers' Union to ask whether you have a programme in mind on the moral issue of venereal disease.''Sir, Where are the B.B.C's censors? We do not care for the language that was inflicted on us Tuesday night in "The Battle of Britain". Don't retort, 'You need not listen if you don't want to'. We did not know it was coming.''Dear Mr. Frost, Let me start by saying how much I enjoy your programme & that I was among those many who felt almost that they had lost a blowsy old friend when dear & vulgar, but nonetheless thought-provoking and funny TW3 went off the air.'For anyone who regularly feels tempted to put pen to paper, I'm Sure I Speak For Many Others is an alternative history of the BBC, from its triumphant broadcast of the coronation in 1953, to that Tynan moment, the controversial That Was The Week That Was, and the groundbreaking Grange Hill.Stretching across over forty years of programming, these never before seen letters represent the joy, the fury and the wit of the nation.
J R
by William GaddisA National Book Award-winning satire about the unchecked power of American capitalism, written more than three decades before the 2008 financial crisis.At the center of J R is J R Vansant, a very average sixth grader from Long Island with torn sneakers, a runny nose, and a juvenile fascination with junk-mail get-rich-quick offers. Responding to one, he sees a small return; soon, he is running a paper empire out of a phone booth in the school hallway. Everyone from the school staff to the municipal government to the squabbling heirs of a player-piano company to the titans of Wall Street and the politicians in Washington will be caught up in the endlessly ballooning bubble of the J R Family of Companies.First published in 1975 and winner of the National Book Award in 1976, J R is an appallingly funny and all-too-prophetic depiction of America&’s romance with finance. It is also a book about suburban development and urban decay, divorce proceedings and disputed wills, the crumbling facade of Western civilization and the impossible demands of love and art, with characters ranging from the earnest young composer Edward Bast to the berserk publicist Davidoff. Told almost entirely through dialogue, William Gaddis&’s novel is both a literary tour de force and an unsurpassed reckoning with the way we live now.

by Walter Adrian DuerLas relaciones sentimentales son uno de los ejes clave de la vida de los judíos. No hay conversación entre dos personas de la cole en la que no surja como tema: quién se casó, quién se separó, quién enviudó o quién le metió los cuernos a quién. Si bien esto es aplicable a todo el mundo, hay un elemento adicional de particular interés: los judíos buscan, en primera instancia, otros judíos para establecer sus relaciones. Y no es lo mismo hacerlo entre los más de 2.000 millones de personas del sexo opuesto que hay en el mundo, que entre los apenas 15 o 16 millones de judíos. Judíos in love tiene como objetivo ayudarlo a conseguir pareja de la cole o, al menos, a munirlo con una batería de excusas lo suficientemente amplia y lo potablemente creíble como para que tenga algo que decir el próximo Rosh Hashaná, cuando toda su familia se le venga al humo a consultarle por qué siguen pasando los años y usted continúa llegando solo a las fiestas. Con muchísimo humor, este libro da respuesta a (casi) todas las preguntas básicas que se hacen hombres y mujeres en el camino de la búsqueda de pareja. Cómo son los modelos de hombres que asisten a citas a ciegas, cómo minimizar el impacto de una cita de porquería, la paradoja del ideal femenino sefardí, consejos para subir una foto a Internet, cómo lidiar con la neurosis femenina en el messenger, facebook como el paraíso de los ex, toda una serie de recomendaciones que, si no lo ayudan, por lo menos lo harán reír hasta las lágrimas.
