Story
Back when restaurant menus were still printed on paper, and wearing a mask—or not—was a decision made mostly on Halloween, David Sedaris spent his time doing normal things. As Happy-Go-Lucky opens, he is learning to shoot guns with his sister, visiting muddy flea markets in Serbia, buying gummy worms to feed to ants, and telling his nonagenarian father wheelchair jokes. But then the pandemic hits, and like so many others, he's stuck in lockdown, unable to tour and read for audiences, the part of his work he loves most.

Gereon Klug beschäftigt sich ja richtig mit den Menschen und schreibt jeden Tag Reisewarnungen, Glückskekszettelpoeme, Kriegserklärungen und Latrinenpredigten. Also daraus ein Buch machen? Seine Psychiaterin riet ab.

Story
Karl Kraus gilt als einer der bedeutendsten Aphoristiker deutscher Sprache. Ob berühmte Schriftsteller oder die Presse - nichts und niemand wurde von der gnadenlosen Kritik seiner Feder verschont. Bekannte Künstler wie Stefan Zweig, Georg Trakl, Thomas Mann und andere zollten ihm Respekt, aber die Zahl seiner Feinde in Kunst und Gesellschaft war enorm. Als Vorleser hinterließ er aufgrund seiner Sprachgewalt und Persönlichkeit angeblich einen äußerst außergewöhnlichen Eindruck.

Story
The first collection of comedy essays from Burphole.com. "Very odd essays in stereo." Part ridiculous comedy skit, and part scathing satire. The audio for Burphole is usually a stereophonic mix including pans, beats, and loads of effects. This audiobook is completely free of all that. When my agent asked, "Are you a writer, or are you a producer?", I didn't know how to respond. I still don't. But here it is free of everything but my voluptuous voice. Recorded in a closet. Because it's noisy around here. Too many hookers armed with bongos.

Story
Moving to New York City is the worst decision you'll ever make. Unless you're like a certain singer who arrived with millions of dollars and legions of screaming fans. You're going to live in the equivalent of a shack [shit hole], suffer through moronic roommates [personal death], be broke off your ass [literally], and all while trying to prove to the world [yourself] you can make it in the big city. You can call it a day and crawl back to wherever you hail from or you can put on your big girl panties and survive.
