«Convertirme en madre ha sido la experiencia más revolucionaria de mi vida y quiero compartirla contigo, como si una amiga…
te estuviera contando su historia. Ojalá te sientas reconfortada, comprendida, libre de culpa». Maternidad sin filtros no es una guía de crianza al uso ni un manual para ser la madre siempre perfecta y sonriente que ves en las redes sociales. Es un relato natural, honesto y a corazón abierto que habla sin edulcorantes del desafío de ser padres primerizos, de la incertidumbre, de las maternidades y partos difíciles que se invisibilizan, de la violencia obstétrica, de la soledad y el desconocimiento en el posparto de los que nadie habla, de las hormonas y la falta de sueño que te ponen la vida del revés… pero también de resiliencia e ilusión sin límite, de la sensación indescriptible de ver a tu bebé por primera vez y de todas las maravillosas primeras veces que vienen después.The World's Even Dumber Criminals: Unbelievable True Tales of Crime Gone Wrong

Par Elizabeth M. Perego. 2023
In times of peace as well as conflict, humor has served Algerians as a tool of both unification and division.…
Humor has also assisted Algerians of various backgrounds and ideological leanings with engaging critically in power struggles throughout the country's contemporary history. By analyzing comedic discourse in various forms (including plays, jokes, and cartoons), Humor and Power in Algeria, 1920 to 2021 demonstrates the globally informed and creative ways that civilians have made sense of moments of victory and loss through humor. Using oral interviews and media archives in Arabic, French, and Tamazight, Elizabeth M. Perego expands on theoretical debates about humor as a tool of resistance and explores the importance of humor as an instrument of war, peace, and social memory, as well as a source for retracing volatile, contested pasts. Humor and Power in Algeria, 1920 to 2021 reveals how Algerians have harnessed humor to express competing visions for unity in a divided colonial society, to channel and process emotions surrounding a brutal war of decolonization and the forging of a new nation, and to demonstrate resilience in the face of a terrifying civil conflict.RuPaul&’s Drag Race superstar Ginger Minj shares her favorite recipes, best advice, and wildest stories in this hilarious book that&’s…

Par Maiana Rose. 2022

Par Barbara Jane Brickman. 2024
An ever-expanding and panicked Wonder Woman lurches through a city skyline begging Steve to stop her. A twisted queen of…
sorority row crashes her convertible trying to escape her queer shame. A suave butch emcee introduces the sequined and feathered stars of the era’s most celebrated drag revue. For an unsettled and retrenching postwar America, these startling figures betrayed the failure of promised consensus and appeasing conformity. They could also be cruel, painful, and disciplinary jokes. It turns out that an obsession with managing gender and female sexuality after the war would hardly contain them. On the contrary, it spread their campy manifestations throughout mainstream culture. Offering the first major consideration of lesbian camp in American popular culture, Suffering Sappho! traces a larger-than-life lesbian menace across midcentury media forms to propose five prototypical queer icons—the sicko, the monster, the spinster, the Amazon, and the rebel. On the pages of comics and sensational pulp fiction and the dramas of television and drive-in movies, Barbara Jane Brickman discovers evidence not just of campy sexual deviants but of troubling female performers, whose failures could be epic but whose subversive potential could inspire.

collection of more than 125 small poems, all of them new, and each a thought or observation compressed to its emotional essence&“Whenever I pick up a new book of poems, I flip through the pages looking for small ones. Just as I might have trust in an abstract painter more if I knew he or she could draw a credible chicken, I have faith in poets who can go short.&”—Billy CollinsYou can spot a Billy Collins poem immediately. The amiable voice, the light touch, the sudden turn at the end. He "puts the &‘fun&’ back in profundity,&” says poet Alice Fulton. In his own words, his poems tend to &“begin in Kansas and end in Oz.&”Now &“America&’s favorite poet&” (The Wall Street Journal) has found a new form for his unique poetic style: the small poem. Here Collins writes about his trademark themes of nature, animals, poetry, mortality, absurdity, and love—all in a handful of lines. Neither haiku nor limerick, the small poem pushes to an extreme poetry&’s famed power to condense emotional and conceptual meaning. Inspired by the small poetry of writers as diverse as William Carlos Williams, W.S. Merwin, Kay Ryan, and Charles Simic, and written with Collins&’s recognizable wit and wisdom, the poems of Musical Tables show one of our greatest poets channeling his unique voice into a new phase of his exceptional career.3:00 AMOnly my handis asleep,but it&’s a start.Keep Calm and Do the Snoopy Dance
