Cards on the Table
Ranging from quick-fire questions for us to ponder to provocative longer works drawing on classical themes, this highly entertaining collection will surprise and inspire with its wit and honesty Lean, yet vivid, Jeremy Robert’s style can be sensuous, graphic or outspoken. He weaves in and out around Pop Culture icons such as James Dean & Andy Warhol, as well as making irreverent commentaries on Kiwi culture. Whether ‘seeking answers’ in Auckland’s Western park, hanging out with crazies at LA’s Venice Beach, contemplating a cheap Margarita in a Texas bar, observing human tragedy on a Paris street, reflecting in steamy Bali evening, or contemplating a piece of rubbish in London, Roberts articulates with truth and honesty during his journey of discovery. Roberts does more than put his cards on the table – he lines up his targets and then hammers the poetic nails in.
The Beatles
As USA TODAY, The Nation’s No. 1 Newspaper, puts it, “The Beatles have never lost their standing as the world's most influential and popular band. They've sold more records than any act in U.S. history.” But in the beginning, few people knew their names. The Beatles—John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr—began as an ambitious band out of Liverpool, England, that wanted to play rock ‘n’ roll music in the American style. Often rejected by music producers, they honed their sound in the grimy clubs of Hamburg, Germany, and in small venues throughout Britain. In 1962, their single “Love Me Do” became their first hit, and by 1964 The Beatles were musically on top of the world. The group’s look, sound, and musical approach influenced a generation and brought fame beyond the band’s wildest dreams. But the stress of their fame and their individual career desires eventually broke up The Beatles in 1970. Yet, the band’s popularity remained strong for decades and still shows no sign of waning.
The Dark Cracks of Kemang: The Bajaj Boys in Indonesia
“That old childhood saying ‘pick what you want from the tree of life’ simply not working anymore? Becoming a foreigner in Indonesia might be as good a stab at something new and rewarding, as anything…” Armed with a teaching contract, some poems, and a guitar-playing buddy, Roberts discovers a potentially life-changing experience in 2013. And so the Bajaj Boys make themselves at home. Indonesia is revealed as a challenging but welcoming land of ‘instant millionaires’, ‘beautiful rubbish’, abundant romance, powerful religion, and unnerving history. Nasi goreng, alcohol, cigarettes, bajajs, motorbikes, a gentlemen’s club, poetry gigs, wild animals, and electrical storms weave together, as the dark cracks of Kemang open.
Joseph Goebbels
As the Minister for Propaganda and Culture, Joseph Goebbels shaped the German people’s perception of the Nazi Party, drumming up public support for anti-Semitism and the war effort through films, speeches, and restrictions on the press and other media. This biography covers his life and the progression of his career from a brilliant young student prejudiced against Jews to a powerful leader who worshipped Hitler and fervently supported the Holocaust. Goebbels’ legacy as a master of propaganda is explored, while sidebars include features on Holocaust remembrance events and the seventy-fifth anniversary of Kristallnacht.

Controversy Creates Cash
Under Eric Bishoff's watch as president of WCW, the company went head to head with Vince McMahon's WWE and beat them at their own game before WCW itself spectacularly imploded. But by then, Bishoff had made an indelible mark on televised wrestling, producing shows that had appeared more dangerous, more sexy, and more edgy than anything that had come before. He did this to such an extent that in 2002, McMahon seized the chance to bring in his former nemesis as General Manager of RAW; since then, true to form, Bishoff regularly surprises fans with matches that would once have been unthinkable for television. In this revelatory look at his life and career, Bishoff frankly discusses the things he did, both right and wrong, as he helped shape the sports entertainment industry into today's billion dollar business.
