   Harlan Ellison's Watching: Essays and Criticism by Harlan Ellison

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/525377 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/525377) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Harlan Ellison's Watching: Essays and Criticism Author: Harlan Ellison Narrator: Luis Moreno Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 20 hours 43 minutes Release date: March 26, 2024 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: “An enjoyable, irascible collection” of smart and sometimes-scathing film criticism from a famously candid author (Library Journal).Everyone’s a critic, especially in the digital age—but no one takes on the movies like multiple award-winning author Harlan Ellison. Renowned both for fiction (A Boy and His Dog) and pop-culture commentary (The Glass Teat), Ellison offers in this collection twenty-five years’ worth of essays and film criticism.It’s pure, raw, unapologetic opinion. Star Wars? “Luke Skywalker is a nerd and Darth Vader sucks runny eggs.” Big Trouble in Little China? “A cheerfully blathering live-action cartoon that will give you release from the real pressures of your basically dreary lives.” Despite working within the industry himself, Ellison never learned how to lie. So punches go unpulled, the impersonal becomes personal, and sometimes even the critics get critiqued, as he shares his views on Pauline Kael or Siskel and Ebert. Ultimately, it’s a wild journey through the cinematic landscape, touching on everything from Fellini to the Friday the 13th franchise.

   Abominations: Selected essays from a career of courting self-destruction by Lionel Shriver

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506617 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/506617) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Abominations: Selected essays from a career of courting self-destruction Author: Lionel Shriver Narrator: Lionel Shriver Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 11 hours 35 minutes Release date: September 15, 2022 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The first essay collection from one of the most acclaimed writers of our time. ‘This trenchant, unrepentant collection reminds you that she’s a brilliant writer… Order a copy in case she’s cancelled by Christmas’ THE TIMES (Book of the Year) ‘You may disagree with Lionel Shriver’s bracing journalism, but her right to spark disquiet goes to the heart of the freedom of expression issue’ Rachel Cooke, OBSERVER ‘Mutinous essays about modern politics and culture… An independent mind and a sense of humour are dangerous things to possess. The spiky, politically incorrect novelist Lionel Shriver has them in abundance’ THE TIMES ‘Testament to the fierce intelligence of a writer who wants us to think more, probe more, challenge more — and who also makes it fun’ THE SUNDAY TIMES Novelist, cultural observer and social satirist Lionel Shriver is among the sharpest talents of our age. A writer who embraces ‘under-expressed, unpopular or downright dangerous’ points of view, she regularly deplores the conformity of thought and attitude that has overtaken society. Bringing together thirty-five works curated from her many columns, features, essays and op-eds for the likes of the Spectator and Guardian, speeches and reviews, and some unpublished pieces, Abominations reveals Shriver at her most iconoclastic and personal. Relentlessly sceptical, cutting and contrarian but also frequently moving and vulnerable, this collection showcases her piquant opinions on a wide range of topics, including religion, politics, illness, mortality, family and friends, tennis, gender, immigration, consumerism, health care and taxes. Though some of the more divisive essays in Abominations have ‘brought hell and damnation down on my head,’ as she cheerfully explains, she also offers insights on her novels and explores the perks and pitfalls of becoming a successful artist. Readers will find plenty to challenge them here, but they may also find many nuanced and considered insights with which they agree. Abominations was a Times Book of the Year in the Literature category on 26.11.2022

   Discontent and Its Civilizations: Dispatches from Lahore, New York and London by Mohsin Hamid

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/508679 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/508679) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Discontent and Its Civilizations: Dispatches from Lahore, New York and London Author: Mohsin Hamid Narrator: Mohsin Hamid Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 4 hours 26 minutes Release date: July 24, 2022 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Discontent and its Civilizations collects the best of Mohsin Hamid's writing on subjects as diverse and wide-ranging as Pakistan; fatherhood; the death of Osama Bin Laden and the writing of The Reluctant Fundamentalist. Unified by the author's humane, clear-headed and witty voice, the book makes a compelling case for recognizing our common humanity while relishing our diversity - both as readers and citizens; for resisting the artificial mono-identities of religion or nationality or race; and for always judging a country or nation by how it treats its minorities, as 'Each individual human being is, after all, a minority of one'. © Mohsin Hamid 2014 (P) Penguin Audio 2022
