Raw dog: The naked truth about hot dogs
Par Jamie Loftus. 2023
One of BookPage 's Best Audiobooks of 2023 "Loftus is a charming narrator...goofy, engaging, and always game to do a…
silly voice." — The New York Times "There's something terribly irresistible about her narration, which is often incredibly funny." — BookPage Part travelogue, part culinary history, all capitalist critique—comedian Jamie Loftus's debut, Raw Dog , will take you on a cross-country road trip in the summer of 2021, and reveal what the creation, culture, and class influence of hot dogs says about America now. "Wise and funny" —ANDY RICHTER "Gonzo yet vulnerable" —GABE DUNN "Hot dog Moby-Dick " —BRANSON REESE "Revealing, funny, sad, horny, and insatiably curious" —SARAH MARSHALL "A wild ride" —ROBERT EVANS "Deeply incisive and hilariously honest" —JACK O'BRIEN Hot dogs. Poor people created them. Rich people found a way to charge fifteen dollars for them. They're high culture, they're low culture, they're sports food, they're kids' food, they're hangover food, and they're deeply American, despite having no basis whatsoever in America's Indigenous traditions. You can love them, you can hate them, but you can't avoid the great American hot dog. Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs is part investigation into the cultural and culinary significance of hot dogs and part travelog documenting a cross-country road trip researching them as they're served today. From avocado and spice in the West to ass-shattering chili in the East to an entire salad on a slice of meat in Chicago, Loftus, her pets, and her ex eat their way across the country during the strange summer of 2021. It's a brief window into the year between waves of a plague that the American government has the resources to temper, but not the interest. So grab a dog, lay out your picnic blanket, and dig into the delicious and inevitable product of centuries of violence, poverty, and ambition, now rolling around at your local 7-Eleven. "One of the freshest and most insightful new comedic voices of this decade." —LINDSAY ELLIS A Macmillan Audio production from Forge BooksDieu, la science, les preuves: l'aube d'une révolution

les preuves modernes de l'existence de Dieu. A partir de 1543 et durant trois siècles, des découvertes scientifiques ont remis en cause l'idée d'un dieu créateur. Depuis le début du XXe siècle, de nouvelles connaissances bouleversent à nouveau les certitudesShakespeare was a woman & other heresies: How doubting the bard became the biggest taboo in literature
Par Elizabeth Winkler. 2023
An "extraordinarily brilliant" and "pleasurably naughty" (André Aciman) investigation into the Shakespeare authorship question, exploring how doubting that William Shakespeare…
wrote his plays became an act of blasphemy...and who the Bard might really be. The theory that Shakespeare may not have written the works that bear his name is the most horrible, unspeakable subject in the history of English literature. Scholars admit that the Bard's biography is a "black hole," yet to publicly question the identity of the god of English literature is unacceptable, even (some say) "immoral." In Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies , journalist and literary critic Elizabeth Winkler sets out to probe the origins of this literary taboo. Whisking you from London to Stratford-Upon-Avon to Washington, DC, she pulls back the curtain to show how the forces of nationalism and empire, religion and mythmaking, gender and class have shaped our admiration for Shakespeare across the centuries. As she considers the writers and thinkers—from Walt Whitman to Sigmund Freud to Supreme Court justices—who have grappled with the riddle of the plays' origins, she explores who may perhaps have been hiding behind his name. A forgotten woman? A disgraced aristocrat? A government spy? Hovering over the mystery are Shakespeare's plays themselves, with their love for mistaken identities, disguises, and things never quite being what they seem. As she interviews scholars and skeptics, Winkler's interest turns to the larger problem of historical truth—and of how human imperfections (bias, blindness, subjectivity) shape our construction of the past. History is a story, and the story we find may depend on the story we're looking for. "Lively" ( The Washington Post ), "fascinating" (Amanda Foreman), and "intrepid" (Stacy Schiff), Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies will forever change how you think of Shakespeare...and of how we as a society decide what's up for debate and what's just nonsense, just heresyFirst things first: Hip-hop ladies who changed the game
Par Nadirah Simmons. 2024
This enlightening book reframes the history of hip-hop—and this time, women are given credit for all their trailblazing achievements that…
have left an undeniable impact on music. FIRST THINGS FIRST, hip-hop is not just the music, and women have played a big role in shaping the way it looks today. FIRST THINGS FIRST takes readers on a journey through some notable firsts by women in hip-hop history and their importance. Factual firsts like Queen Latifah becoming the first rapper to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Lauryn Hill making history as the first rapper to win the coveted Album of the Year Award at the GRAMMYs, April Walker being the first woman to dominate in the hip-hop fashion game, and Da Brat being the first solo woman rapper to have an album go platinum, and metaphorical firsts like Missy Elliott being the first woman rapper to go to the future. (Trust me, she really did.) There are chapters on music legends like Nicki Minaj, Lil' Kim and Mary J. Blige , tv and radio hosts like Big Lez and Angie Martinez , and so many more ladies I would name but I don't want to spoil the book! There are games, charts and some fire images, too. Altogether, FIRST THINGS FIRST is a celebration of the achievements of women in hip-hop who broke down barriers and broke the mold. So the next time someone doesn't have their facts straight on the ladies in hip-hop, you can hit them with "first things first"1508: la traversée du vide
Par Étienne Beaulieu. 2023
Maître Thomas Aubert a-t-il existé ? C'est un spécimen de choix. Il serait venu avant Jacques Cartier longer les côtes…
de nos arpents de neige pour nous léguer son visage évanescent, sa tendance à ne pas tout à fait être là, à rester en sursis des siècles durant. Thomas Aubert, saint patron du Québec, cœur secret de l'Amérique, haute statue absente de toutes nos églises et de nos histoires, portrait sculpté à même notre présence fantôme, mais aussi sur la pierre, à Dieppe même, où l'on fait semblant qu'il a existé, alors que l'on n'en sait strictement rienThe pathway to success: Letting god lead you to a life of meaning and purpose
Par Joyce Meyer. 2024
Renowned Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer shows readers how to realign their perspective on…
success to conform with God's vision for the kind of life that brings us true purpose and lasting joy. The world tells us that having a good job, owning your own business, money, fame, and influence are all important for a successful life. If we don't have them, we feel like a failure. But even when we achieve them, we still end up unhappy, unfulfilled, or lonely. God wants us to be successful, but His definition of success is not the same as the world's definition. The truth is, God's way of achieving the dreams and desires that truly fulfill us and bring genuine joy to our lives is very different—and that is what we need. In The Pathway to Success , you will discover a deeper understanding of what it means to seek success God's way. Through her practical, relatable insights based on God's Word, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer reveals how to actively pursue the keys to true, lasting success. Full of rich encouragement and timeless wisdom, The Pathway to Success will allow you to refocus your life and fulfill your God-given destiny as you walk out the purpose He's planned for youSarajevo: mon enfance sous les bombes

du siège de Sarajevo et aux enfants qui, de par le monde, vivent - et meurent toujours - sous les bombes. Les réflexions de Nadja Halilbegovich sur la vie et la mort, ses appels au secours à l'Amérique de Clinton, son désarroi poignant et l'espoir toujours renouvelé de jours meilleurs ne peuvent laisser personne indifférent. Les enfants notamment se sentiront interpellés par le récit de cette jeune fille qui leur ressemble... À noter aussi les commentaires de l'auteure devenue adulte insérés ça et là dans le texte sous le titre de Retour en arrière qui apportent des précisions au journal, de même qu'un prologue et un épilogue. -- 4e de couvA History of Women in 101 Objects: A walk through female history
Par Annabelle Hirsch. 2024
Discover the hidden history of women—and the world—through this visual exploration of intimate objects and the surprising, sometimes shocking stories…
behind them."I adored this book!"—Olivia ColmanThis is a neglected history. Not a sweeping, definitive, exhaustive history of the world but something quieter, more intimate and particular: a single journey, picked out in 101 objects, through the fascinating, manifold, and too often overlooked histories of women.With engaging prose, compelling stories, and a beautiful full-page image of each object, Annabelle Hirsch’s book contains a curated and diverse compendium of women and their things, uncovering the thoughts and feelings at the heart of women’s daily lives. The result is an intimate and stirring alternative history of humans in the world. The objects date from prehistory to today and are assembled chronologically to show the evolution of how women were perceived by others, how they perceived themselves, how they fought for freedom. Some (like a sixteenth-century glass dildo) are objects of female pleasure, some (a thumbscrew) of female subjugation. These are artifacts of women celebrated by history and of women unfairly forgotten by it. With variety and nuance, A History of Women in 101 Objects cracks open the fissures of what we think we know in order to illuminate a much richer retelling: What do handprints on early cave paintings tell us about the role of women in hunting? How is a cell phone related to femicides? What does Kim Kardashian’s diamond ring have to do with Elena Ferrante?Wide-ranging, subversive, witty, and superbly researched, this is a book that upends all our assumptions about, and presentations of, the past, proving that it has always been as complicated and fascinating as the women who peopled it.Booklist is the American Library Association’s nationally distributed book and media review publication.
