Witwe Meier und die toten Männer

Frau Meiers Leben bewegt sich farblich im Spektrum zwischen sahara-beige und schlammfarben. Sie ist in den Sechzigern, verbittert, ein wenig böse und kugelrund. Das macht das Leben weder für sie noch für die anderen locker, luftig und leicht. Ihr Dasein wird jedoch bunt und schillernd, als einige unerwartete und mehr oder weniger bedauerliche Todesfälle in ihrem Umfeld geschehen. Doch obwohl nicht alles Mord ist, was den einen oder anderen umbringt, erwacht Frau Meier mit jeder Leiche zu neuem Leben.

Witwe Meier und das Sarggeflüster

Frau Meier ist verliebt. Platonisch, versteht sich - mehr oder minder, denn sie ist noch immer nicht ganz über den Tod ihres Mannes hinweg. Der Bamberger Bestatter Paul Uhlbein liebt Frau Meier, oder auch einfach nur »Schnuppel«, sogar ohne »Anfassen«. Doch statt die Vorweihnachtszeit genießen zu können, geht es in ihrer Bestatter-Patchworkfamilie drunter und drüber. Ein in der Martinsgans verschwundener Ehering, ein unauffindbares Sargbukett und dann auch noch das mysteriöse Abtauchen des »Schwierigvaters« nebst Christkind - ausgerechnet am Heiligen Abend!

The Hardest Fall

In the game of love you can't afford to drop the ball... Zoe’s always been shy. At college, to try to help her, her friend dares her to do the craziest thing she can think of… kiss a random guy. She follows Dylan into a room she thinks is a classroom and ends up seeing a little too much of him. She can hardly kiss him now… not when after their embarrassing encounter and certainly not after he tells her he has a girlfriend. But when he finds out about the dare, the two make a pact… if they ever cross paths again – and they’re both single – they’ll kiss. Two years later, fate intervenes, and they end up as accidental roommates. Now Zoe’s seeing a lot more of Dylan than she bargained for and it’s even harder to resist peeking the second time round.

2013 Philip K. Dick Award Special Citation of Excellence "Orwell, Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams are felt on every page, though Magnason is never derivative. His satire and insightful social commentary sweeten the pot and the sheer wackiness of Magnason’s oversized imagination is invigorating."—Publishers Weekly, starred review LoveStar, the enigmatic and obsessively driven founder of the LoveStar corporation, has unlocked the key to transmitting data via birdwaves, thus freeing mankind from wires and devices, and allowing consumerism, technology, and science to run rampant over all aspects of daily life. Cordless modern men and women are paid to howl advertisements at unsuspecting passers-...

In 1933, President Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt took up residence in the White House. With them went the celebrated journalist Lorena Hickok - Hick to friends - a straight-talking reporter from South Dakota, whose passionate relationship with the idealistic, patrician First Lady would shape the rest of their lives. Told by the indomitable Hick, White Houses is the story of Eleanor and Hick's hidden love, and of Hick's unlikely journey from her dirt-poor childhood to the centre of privilege and power. Filled with fascinating back-room politics, the secrets and scandals of the era, and exploring the potency of enduring love, it is an imaginative tour-de-force from a writer of extraordinary and exuberant talent.

I'm Supposed to Protect You from All This

‘Nadja Spiegelman shows love, anger, long-lived pain and late-learned gratitude contriving to coexist, as each woman shapes her story.’ Times Literary Supplement A memoir of mothers and daughters, traced through four generations, from Paris to New York and back again. More than Nadja Spiegelman’s famous father, Maus creator Art Spiegelman, and more than most mothers, hers—French-born New Yorker art director Françoise Mouly—exerted a force over reality that was both dazzling and daunting. As Nadja’s body changed and ‘began to whisper to the adults around me in a language I did not understand’, their relationship grew tense. Unwittingly, they were replaying a drama from her mo...
