Running With Scissors - Augusten Burroughs - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The #1 New York Times Bestseller An Entertainment Weekly Top Ten Book of the Year Now a Major Motion Picture This is the true story of a boy who wanted to grow up with the Brady Bunch, but ended up living with the Addams Family. Augusten Burroughs''s mother gave him away to be raised by her psychiatrist, a dead ringer for Santa Claus and a certifiable lunatic into the bargain. The doctor''s bizarre family, a few patients and a sinister man living in the garden shed completed the tableau. The perfect squalor of their dilapidated Victorian house, there were no rules and there was no school. The Christmas tree stayed up until summer and Valium was chomped down like sweets. And when things got a bit slow, there was always the ancient electroshock therapy machine under the stairs... ''This is the Brady Bunch on Viagra... it is impossible not to laugh at all the jokes; to admire the sardonic, fetid tone; to wonder, slack-jawed and agog, at the sheer looniness of the vista he conjures up'' -- Rachel Cooke, Observer

Improvement - Joan Silber - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

'' Improvement is a major work of literature.'' - Nick Hornby, The Believer Reyna knows her relationship with Boyd isn''t perfect, yet as she visits him throughout his three-month stint in prison, their bond grows tighter. Kiki, now settled in New York after a journey that took her to Turkey and around the world, admires her niece''s spirit but worries that she always picks the wrong man. Little does she know that the otherwise honourable Boyd is pulling Reyna into a scheme which violates his probation. When Reyna ultimately decides to remove herself for the sake of her four-year-old child, her small act of resistance sets into motion a tapestry of events that affect the lives of loved ones and strangers around them. A novel that examines conviction, connection and the possibility of generosity in the face of loss, Improvement is as intricately woven together as Kiki''s beloved Turkish rugs and as colourful as the tattoos decorating Reyna''s body, with narrative twists and turns as surprising and unexpected as the lives all around us. The Boston Globe says of Joan Silber ''No other writer can make a few small decisions ripple across the globe, and across time, with more subtlety and power.'' Improvement is Silber''s most shining achievement yet.

Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot - John Callahan - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

The memoir of legendary cartoonist John Callahan, now a major motion picture directed by Gus Van Sant and starring Joaquin Phoenix, Jonah Hill, and Rooney Mara. Featuring more than 60 of Callahan''s original cartoons In 1972, at the age of twenty-one, John Callahan was involved in a car crash that made him a quadriplegic. A heavy drinker since the age of twelve (alcohol had played a role in his crash), the accident could have been the beginning of a downward spiral. Instead, it sparked a personal transformation. By 1978, Callahan had sworn off drinking for good and began to draw cartoons.Over the next three decades, until his death in 2010, Callahan would become one of America''s most beloved - and at times polarising - cartoonists. His work, which shows off a wacky and sometimes warped sense of humour, pokes fun at social conventions and pushes boundaries. One cartoon features Christ at the cross with a thought bubble reading ''T.G.I.F.'' In another, three sheriffs on horseback approach an empty wheelchair in the desert. ''Don''t worry,'' one sheriff says to another, ''He won''t get far on foot.'' Don''t Worry, He Won''t Get Far on Foot recounts Callahan''s life story, from the harrowing to the hilarious. Featuring more than sixty of Callahan''s cartoons, it''s a compelling look at art, addiction, disability and fame.

The Irish Assassins - Julie Kavanagh - Bog - Atlantic Books - Plusbog.dk

ONE OF THE TIMES'' BEST HISTORY BOOKS OF 2021 ''The tale of the Phoenix Park murders is not unfamiliar, but Kavanagh recounts it with a great sense of drama... Kavanagh''s account reminds me of the very best of true crime.'' The Times (Book of the Week) On a sunlit evening in l882, Lord Frederick Cavendish and Thomas Burke, Chief Secretary and Undersecretary for Ireland, were ambushed and stabbed to death while strolling through Phoenix Park in Dublin. The murders were carried out by the Invincibles, a militant faction of republicans armed with specially-made surgeon''s blades. They ended what should have been a turning point in Anglo-Irish relations. A new spirit of goodwill had been burgeoning between Prime Minister William Gladstone and Ireland''s leader Charles Stewart Parnell, with both men forging in secret a pact to achieve peace and independence in Ireland - with the newly appointed Cavendish, Gladstone''s protégé, to play an instrumental role. The impact of the Phoenix Park murders was so cataclysmic that it destroyed the pact, almost brought down the government and set in motion repercussions that would last long into the twentieth century. In a story that spans Donegal, Dublin, London, Paris, New York, Cannes and Cape Town, Julie Kavanagh thrillingly traces the crucial events that came before and after the murders. From the adulterous affair that caused Parnell''s downfall to Queen Victoria''s prurient obsession with the assassinations and the investigation spearheaded by the ''Irish Sherlock Holmes'', culminating in a murder on the high seas, The Irish Assassins brings us intimately into this fascinating story that shaped Irish politics and engulfed an empire. This is an unputdownable book from one of our most ''compulsively readable'' ( Guardian ) writers.
