Story
In 1960, Senator John F. Kennedy makes a historic run for the White House. Despite concerns about his Catholicism, Kennedy’s outward charm is winning the country over, but his inner demons are putting his candidacy in danger and risk destroying his political career. That same year, Caitlin Russo, a former cop turned reporter, is devoting her skills to finding her husband’s killer. His job as a CIA operative posed its fair share of risks, but when Caitlin discovers his notes about the case that led to his death, she knows there’s more to the story than simple tragedy.

This imagined retelling of Jho Low’s story, based on real events, gives listeners an insider’s view of the glitzy, glamorous world of wealth and privilege, as well as a close-up look at this enigmatic protagonist’s high-stakes fall from grace. The narrator is quirky yet eloquent, at times thoughtful and other times brash, as he leads readers through the corridors of power, where the line between friend and foe blurs. As secrets unravel and fortunes teeter on the edge, readers get a front-row seat to the dark underbelly of high finance and the price of unchecked ambition and greed.

Story
Aus dem Englischen von Giovanni Bandini. Colm Toibin erzählt mit einmaliger Empathie das Leben von Thomas Mann als Roman. Von der Kindheit in Lübeck bis zur Heirat in München, von der Gegnerschaft gegen die Nazis bis zum amerikanischen Exil. Wie viele Gesichter hatte der weltberühmte Autor und Familienvater, der sein Gefühlsleben verborgen hielt, zerrissen zwischen homosexuellem Begehren und familiärem Pflichtgefühl, zwischen der Wonne der Bürgerlichkeit und der künstlerischen Askese? (Perlentaucher.de).

Theodore Dreiser heavily invested himself in The Genius, an autobiographical novel first published in 1915. Thoroughly immersed in the turn-of-the-century art scene, The Genius explores the multiple conflicts between art and business, art and marriage, and between traditional and modern views of sexual morality. Despite heavy editing, The Genius was deemed so shocking that its sale was immediately prohibited by the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. It was not released until 1923, and thereafter the episode confirmed Dreiser’s status as a writer ahead of his time.

La cronologia dell’acqua è la storia di una vita che “non segue alcun ordine. Gli avvenimenti non rispondono al rapporto di causa ed effetto come vorremmo. È tutta una serie di frammenti e ripetizioni e trame,” perché “questo condividono il linguaggio e l’acqua”. Il nuoto – il corpo che si perde e si ritrova nell’acqua –, e la letteratura – il desiderio di scrivere senza compromessi –, sono le uniche due certezze di Lidia.

Wäre dem Autor nur ein Attribut erlaubt, um seine Generation zu beschreiben, so wählte er "sattgelebt"! In einen langen Frieden hineingeboren und im Wirtschaftswunder groß geworden, wärmen die milden Winter und die heißen Sommer deren alten Glieder. Der flüchtigen Freuden des Lebens müde, irrt sie zwischen dem Schielen nach Askese und dem Heischen nach Exzessen durch das Leben – stets darauf bedacht, ihren Footprint kleinzureden. Zahllose Sachbücher belegen den Klimawandel, ohne uns in die Pflicht der Mäßigung zu nehmen.
