Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Own it, snowflakes: you've lost everything youclaim tohold dear.White is Bret Easton Ellis's first work of nonfiction. Already thebad boy of American literature, from Less Than Zero to American Psycho, Ellis has alsoearned the wrath of right-thinking people everywhere with his provocations on social media, and here heescalates his admonishment of received truths asexpressed by today's version of 'the left.' Eschewing convention, he embraces views that will make many in literary andmedia communitiescringe, as he takes aim at the relentless anti-Trump fixation, coastal elites, corporatecensorship, Hollywood, identity politics, Generation Wuss, 'woke'cultural watchdogs, the obfuscation of idealsonce bothcherished and clear, and the fugue state of American democracy. In a young century marked by hysterical correctness and obsessive fervency on both sides of an aisle that's taken on the scale of the Grand Canyon, White is a clarion call for freedom of speech and artistic freedom. 'The central tension in Ellis's art or his life, for that matter is that while [his] aesthetic is the cool reserve of his native California, detachment over ideology, he can't stop generating heat. He's hard-wired to break furniture.' Karen Heller, TheWashington Post 'Sweating with rage . . . humming with paranoia.' Anna Leszkiewicz, The Guardian 'Snowflakes on both coasts in withdrawal from Rachel Maddow's nightly Kremlinology lesson can purchase a whole book to inspire paroxysms of rage . . . a veritable thirst trap for the easily microaggressed. It's all here. Rants about Trump derangement syndrome; MSNBC; #MeToo; safe spaces.' Bari Weiss, The New York TimesLook for Bret Easton Ellis s new novel, The Shards! 272 pp. Englisch.

Reese Witherspoon (Reese s Book Club Pick)In her most revealing and powerful memoir yet,the activist, speaker, bestselling author, and patron saint of female empowerment (People) explores the joy and peace we discover when westop striving to meet others expectations and start trusting the voice deep within us.NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY O: The Oprah Magazine The Washington Post Cosmopolitan Marie Claire Bloomberg Parade Untamed will liberate women emotionally, spiritually, and physically. It is phenomenal. Elizabeth Gilbert, author of City of Girls and Eat Pray LoveThis is how you find yourself.There is a voice of longing inside each woman. We strive so mightily to be good: good partners, daughters, mothers, employees, and friends. We hope all this striving will make us feel alive. Instead, it leaves us feeling weary, stuck, overwhelmed, and underwhelmed. We look at our lives and wonder: Wasn t it all supposed to be more beautiful than this We quickly silence that question, telling ourselves to be grateful, hiding our discontent even from ourselves. For many years, Glennon Doyle denied her own discontent. Then, while speaking at a conference, she looked at a woman across the room and fell instantly in love. Three words flooded her mind: There She Is. At first, Glennon assumed these words came to her from on high. But she soon realized they had come to her from within. This was her own voice the one she had buried beneath decades of numbing addictions, cultural conditioning, and institutional allegiances. This was the voice of the girl she had been before the world told her who to be. Glennon decided to quit abandoning herself and to instead abandon the world s expectations of her. She quit being good so she could be free. She quit pleasing and started living. Soulful and uproarious, forceful and tender, Untamed is both an intimate memoir and a galvanizing wake-up call. It is the story of how one woman learned that a responsible mother is not one who slowly dies for her children, but one who shows them how to fully live. It is the story ofnavigating divorce, forming anew blended family,and discovering thatthebrokenness or wholeness of a family depends noton itsstructure butoneach member s ability tobringherfullself to the table.And it is the story of how each of us can begin to trust ourselves enough to set boundaries, make peace with our bodies, honor our anger and heartbreak, and unleash our truest, wildest instincts so that we become women who can finally look at ourselves and say: There She Is. Untamed shows us how to be brave. As Glennon insists: The braver we are, the luckier we get. 352 pp. Englisch.
