   Rage: On Being Queer, Black, Brilliant . . . and Completely Over It by Lester Fabian Brathwaite

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/568844 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/568844) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Rage: On Being Queer, Black, Brilliant . . . and Completely Over It Author: Lester Fabian Brathwaite Narrator: Lester Fabian Brathwaite Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 7 hours 34 minutes Release date: September 10, 2024 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: A debut book from Entertainment Weekly writer and former Out magazine editor Lester Fabian Brathwaite, Rage is a darkly comedic exploration of Blackness, queerness, and the American Dream, at a time when creative anger feels like the best response to inequality. One romantic hopeful had greeted Lester Fabian Brathwaite on a dating app with this gem: “You into race play?” Being young, queer, gifted, and Black, Lester has found that his best tool for navigating American life is gallows humor. If you don’t laugh, you cry—or, you summon your inner rage. With biting wit, Lester’s book Rage interrogates all the ways that systemic racism and homophobia have shaped our society. All to pose that proverbial question: Can a gurl live? Rage is one part memoir, one part cultural critique, one part live grenade. He contrasts his tragic-comedic love life with the ideals he had formed from bingeing (straight, white) Hollywood depictions. And he is quick to side-eye the misogyny and internalized homophobia that some people reveal in statements like “masc for masc” on dating profiles. Lester also dives deep into representations of queer life from RuPaul’s Drag Race to The Birdcage (Robin Williams was a snack in Versace), and explores our cultural understanding of Black genius through stories of James Baldwin, Whitney Houston, and Nina Simone. Lester’s razor-sharp voice, coupled with his searing social commentary on topics such as dating, rejection, racism, sexuality, identity, and more, offer an increasingly divided world an engaging and original read.

Title: On Women: A new collection of feminist essays from the influential writer, activist and critic, Susan Sontag Author: Susan Sontag Narrator: Laurel Lefkow Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 17 minutes Release date: June 1, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Brought to you by Penguin. Bringing together Susan Sontag's most fearless and incisive writing, On Women examines the oppression of women and the tools necessary for liberation. 'Sontag is one of the most influential critics of her generation' New York Review of Books First written in the 1970s during the height of second-wave feminism, Sontag's essays examine the 'biological division of labour', the double standard for ageing and the struggle for real power, topics which are strikingly relevant to our contemporary conversations. For any Sontag fan, this collection of lost essays is a revelation into her achievements as an essayist. 'One of America's greatest public intellectuals' Observer 'Susan Sontag offers enough food for thought to satisfy the most intellectual of appetites' The Times 'At the time she died, she was America's best-known public intellectual. To my mind, she was also the most exemplary' John Gray, New Statesman ©2023 Susan Sontag (P)2023 Penguin Audio

   Queen Bee by Ciara Geraghty

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577183 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/577183) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Queen Bee Author: Ciara Geraghty Narrator: Angeline Ball Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 15 minutes Release date: February 2, 2023 Genres: Essays & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: ‘Bridget Jones meets menopause…sharp, funny and real’ Cecelia Ahern Lay on the couch for a brief nap. Woke up an hour later, the witch trials book I’m reading stuck to one side of my face. Pretending not to be menopausal is exhausting. When fifty-year-old Agatha Doyle starts keeping a diary, it records only the ways she doesn’t know who she is any more. Her glorious empty nest is full of people. And her head is full of brain fog. All it takes to tip her over the edge is a pair of red velvet heels and a man who won’t stop talking. Standing up for herself, Agatha unwittingly becomes a heroine for midlife women everywhere. But with a distant husband, and an even more distant sex life, can she also become the heroine of her own life? Readers LOVE Queen Bee! ‘I haven’t laughed this hard in years!’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Agatha became my hero’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘A complete hoot’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ‘Agatha Doyle is the poster girl for a new generation’ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– ‘Laugh-out-loud funny with a spikily endearing heroine who runs full tilt at the menopause with a baseball bat in her hands . . . Fast-paced and hilarious’ CATHY KELLY ‘Bridget Jones meets menopause . . . sharp, funny and real’ CECELIA AHERN ‘I loved this book. Hilarious, perceptive, empathetic. Readers will utterly identify with and adore the superbly drawn Agatha’ PATRICIA SCANLAN ’Witty, poignant and a complete page turner’ SINEAD MORIARTY ’Agatha is a marvellous creation – that voice is so compelling, so snappy, so real – and I’ll miss her ROISIN MEANEY ’What a book! Timely, laden with humour . . . it has everything – female friendship and empowerment, family relationships with all their fun and tragedy’ FIONNUALA KEARNEY ‘Funny, searingly honest, at times tender and poignant. World, meet Agatha, you’re going to love her’ CARMEL HARRINGTON ‘So funny and smart and warm … honestly all women will love this book’ ANNA McPARTLIN
