Based on the ingenious Sir Michael Twitter account, How to (Almost) Make Friends on the Internet is the funniest audiobook you'll listen to this year. Whether it's offering his services as a karate lawyer or funeral DJ, devising the world's worst plan to get a free haircut, or trying to buy a blue bucket that may or may not be for sale, Michael just wants to connect with people. The only problem is that people are slightly less enthusiastic about connecting with him, and the results are utterly hilarious.

[Contains explicit content] Featuring sets from Michael Kosta, Kendra Cunningham, Brian Babylon, Ian Abramson and Alingon Mitra.

April 5th, 2019: In a cozy brownstone in Brooklyn, the veneer of domestic bliss is beginning to crack. Dan and Isabel, troubled husband and wife, are both a little bit in love with Isabel’s younger brother, Robbie. Robbie, wayward soul of the family, who still lives in the attic loft; Robbie, who, trying to get over his most recent boyfriend, has created a glamorous avatar online; Robbie, who now has to move out of the house – and whose departure threatens to break the family apart.

Come tre fili sottili, s'intrecciano in questo romanzo le vite di tre donne lontane nel tempo. La prima è Virginia Woolf, ritratta nei suoi ultimi giorni e, con un salto temporale, mentre dà vita al personaggio della signora Dalloway. Nel frattempo Clarissa, editor newyorkese di oggi, compra i fiori per festeggiare l'amico più amato, e la signora Brown, casalinga californiana del dopoguerra, tenta di sfuggire alla prigione della sua vita matrimoniale.

Meet Peter and Rebecca Harris: mid-40s denizens of Manhattan’s SoHo, nearing the apogee of committed careers in the arts—he a dealer, she an editor. With a spacious loft, a college-age daughter in Boston and lively friends, they are admirable, enviable contemporary urbanites with every reason, it seems, to be happy. Then Rebecca’s much younger lookalike brother, Ethan (known in the family as Mizzy, “the mistake”), shows up for a visit.

Jonathan, un ragazzo introverso e insicuro, e Bobby, attraente, benvoluto ma un po' grossolano, non potrebbero essere più diversi: eppure diventano amici inseparabili e poi amanti nel corso di un'intensa e tormentata adolescenza a Cleveland, Ohio. Durante gli anni del college si perdono di vista, per poi ritrovarsi a New York dove Jonathan vive con l'amica del cuore Clare. Quando Bobby si trasferisce da loro e comincia una relazione con la ragazza, gli equilibri sentimentali e interiori dei tre ne vengono inevitabilmente sconvolti.

Here are the moments that our fairy tales forgot or deliberately concealed, reimagined by one of the most gifted storytellers of his generation, the Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Hours. Rarely have our bedtime stories been this dark, this perverse, or this true. The beast stands ahead of you in line at the convenience store, buying smokes and a Slim Jim, his devouring smile aimed at the cashier. A malformed little man with a knack for minor acts of wizardry goes to disastrous lengths to procure a child.

"Die Stunden" ist ein kunstvoller konstruierter Generationen-Roman über drei Frauen, die aus ihrem Leben ausbrechen wollen...

It’s November 2004. Barrett Meeks, having lost love yet again, is walking through Central Park when he is inspired to look up at the sky; there he sees a pale, translucent light that seems to regard him in a distinctly godlike way. Barrett doesn’t believe in visions - or in God - but he can’t deny what he’s seen. At the same time, in the not-quite-gentrified Bushwick neighbourhood of Brooklyn, Tyler, Barrett’s older brother, a struggling musician, is trying - and failing - to write a song for Beth, his wife-to-be, who is seriously ill.

Specimen Days is the bold latest novel from Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours. The novel contains three linked narratives that take place in the past, the present, and the future of New York City and span the ghost story, thriller, and science fiction genres. This wild, lush, dark page-turner is an exciting creative leap for a major writer.

Simon, Catherine, Lucas. Un uomo, una donna, un bambino, tre storie ambientate a New York in epoche diverse: la seconda metà del diciannovesimo secolo, il tempo presente, un futuro post atomico imprecisato. In un romanzo sorprendente, tra atmosfere gotiche, suspense da thriller e un'avventura d'amore e di sopravvivenza, una poesia di Walt Whitman attraversa le esistenze dei tre protagonisti in un gioco di specchi tra personaggi che ritornano misteriosamente tra passato, presente e futuro.

Det er november 2004. 38-årige Barrett Meeks er nok engang ramt af kærlighedskvaler og går nedbtrykt gennem Central Park. Pludselig ser han et blegt, gennemskinneligt lys på nattehimlen. Barrett tror ikke på åbenbaringer – og heller ikke på Gud – men han kan ikke benægte det, han har oplevet. Samtidig, i den mindre mondæne del af Brooklyn, kæmper Barretts ældre bror, musikeren Tyler, med at skrive en bryllupssang til sin kommende hustru, Beth. Beth er alvorligt syg, og Tyler er fast besluttet på, at sangen skal stå som et varigt udtryk for hans kærlighed til hende.

Provokerende og kompromisløs efterfølger til succesromanen TIMERNE (dansk 2000). I Særlige dage hyldes livet i New York, og samtidig undersøges den amerikanske skæbne i en moderne verden i denne originale blanding af spøgelseshistorie, thriller og fremtidsvision.

A journey tale about love, loss, and what it truly means to come home. Written and read by the author, Michael Thomas Cunningham. Christy, a woman hardened by the streets and clinging to a life of desperation must face her demons as she attends the funeral of an old friend. Jack was the closest thing she ever had to a father even though their relationship had never been revealed to his family. Christy would have preferred for the alternative history of Jacks life to remain a secret, but that was not to be. When Christy is discovered by Jacks biological daughter, Jennifer, the truth is finally ...

På overfladen lever Peter og Rebecca Harris en misundelsesværdig tilværelse i New York omgivet af kunst og byens pulserende liv. Han er gallerist, hun er redaktør, og de lever et liv, hvor venner er noget man har i overflod, og cocktailpartys er det, man slår tiden ihjel med. Men en uro ulmer i Peter. For midt i det tilsyneladende perfekte liv længes han efter, at livet for alvor rammer ham. Og det gør det. I skikkelse af Rebeccas lillebror Mizzy – der egentlig hedder Ethan, men bliver kaldt Mizzy: ”Fejltagelsen”.

Michael Cunninghams Pulitzerprisvindende "TIMERNE" skildrer tre dage i tre vidt forskellige kvinders liv. Clarissa Vaughan, forlagsredaktør i 1990'ernes New York, forbereder et selskab for sin ven, digteren Richard, og går en smuk junimorgen ud for at købe blomster. Virginia Woolf er mere end 70 år tidligere i færd med at skrive sin berømte roman "Mrs. Dalloway" og overvejer forskellige åbninger. I Los Angeles i 1949 er den hjemmegående husmor Laura Brown netop begyndt at læse "Mrs. Dalloway", men afbrydes, fordi sønnen Richie og ægtemanden Dan kræver hendes opmærksomhed.

Historie, der fortælles på skift af Bobby og Jonathan, som har været venner siden barndommen, af Jonathans mor og af Jonathans platoniske kærlighed. Det er en fortælling om sårede og utilpassede mennesker, der har opgivet at falde til ro i det vedtagne familiemønster, og som prøver at skabe et hjem og et liv på andre præmisser. Bogen er filmatiseret.
