The World of Simon Rich - Simon Rich - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The world is a bewildering place and we''re ill-equipped to deal with it. From the horrors of childhood to the vagaries of old age, from confused people to humiliated animals, we''re all just trying - and often failing - to keep it together. How carefully should you answer when asked what you''d take to a desert island? What do you do if your parents are reading your diary? How useful is a Swiss Army Knife? And what''s A Brief History of Time really about?Armed with a sharp eye for the absurd and an overwhelming sense of doom, Simon Rich explores the ridiculousness of our everyday lives, from the most minute of anxieties to one of life''s biggest questions: Does God really have a plan for us? Yes, it turns out. Now if only He could remember what it was ...''Simon Rich is very much laugh-out-loud funny. He can conjure authentic, from-the-abdomen laughter on almost every page. He stacks surrealism on top of slick satire on top of pure childish silliness in such a brilliant and condensed way, there are sometimes three laugh-out-loud moments within the same paragraph ... He is exactly the right kind of writer for the internet: funny, high-concept, accessible, short, sharable, a James Thurber for the Twitter age'' Matt Haig

Spoiled Brats (including the story that inspired the film An American Pickle starring Seth Rogen) - Simon Rich - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This hilarious collection of short stories from the award-winning humorist Simon Rich includes the story that inspired the Seth Rogen comedy An American Pickle. Having skewered the problems of falling in and out of love in The Last Girlfriend on Earth, Simon Rich''s next book is another subject we can all relate to: parents and their kids. From the perils of raising an actual monster in Manhattan - it''s pretty hard to find teachers who really understand the talents of a five-year-old with horns and a taste for blood - to Sell Out, the story of Simon''s ancestor, returned to life decades after an industrial accident involving pickling brine, these stories are inventive, witty and sometimes a bit too much like real life.

Gloucester Crescent - William Miller - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Gloucester Crescent - William Miller - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Shortlisted for the 2019 PEN Ackerley PrizeGloucester Crescent is a curving, leafy street, tucked between Camden Town and Primrose Hill. It''s unremarkable in many ways, unless you notice the lady in the van, and the familiar-looking residents crossing the road ...This is the story of the Miller family and their circle of brilliant, idealistic and intellectual friends in London in the 60s, 70s and 80s. We follow William through the ups and downs of childhood, as he explores the homes of his famous neighbours, attends dramatic rehearsals with his dad Jonathan Miller, gets drugs and advice from the philosopher A. J. Ayer''s wife, and tries to watch the moon landing with Alan Bennett and a room full of writers. Hilarious, and at times heart-breaking, this is also about how we grow up and move on - and what happens when we come back. Not only a picture of an extraordinary time in Britain''s cultural history - and a hitherto unseen portrait of some of the brightest minds of a generation - this book tells the funny, tender and moving story of a young boy trying to carve out his own identity.

A Home of One's Own - Hashi Mohamed - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

As cities expand and rents rise, what does it really mean to have a home?''A marvel, by an inspiring and deeply humane writer'' - Philippe SandsA home is important because it offers sanctuary and privacy. It can help improve mental health and emotional resilience, and it can help break people out of cycles of poverty. Yet in the past 30 years we''ve seen home ownership dwindle as council housing stocks deplete and more of us are caught in insecure tenancies. And it''s not just London - there isn''t a single major city in the world today not suffering from an affordable housing crisis. Why does this matter - and what can be done?Drawing on his own history of housing insecurity and his professional career as a planning barrister, Hashi Mohamed examines the myriad aspects of housing - from Right-to-Buy to Grenfell, slums and evictions to the Bank of Mum and Dad. A Home of One''s Own is a deeply personal study of the crisis confronting global metropoles - and an exploration of the ways we can remove barriers, improve equality and create cities where more people have a place to call their own.

DECARBONOMICS - Charles Dumas - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A book of two halves, Decarbonomics first sets the scene of current global economics, outlining the effect of the pandemic, the trade war between the US and China and the resulting fragmentation of globalisation. In the second half of the book, leading financial analyst Charles Dumas examines the economic reasons for action on climate change, and what form that might take.Dumas argues that investment to combat the changing climate will provide not only a boost to growth but also a rebalancing of geopolitics, benefiting those economies best placed to exploit the new technologies - possibly away from the oil-rich Middle East and towards the sun-rich Southern Hemisphere. He also examines the implications of a carbon tax, shifting economics to forge a financial solution to climate change.Drawing on original analysis by one of the world''s leading macroeconomic forecasters, Decarbonomics shows how climate-change economics has shifted from a story of necessary sacrifice to one of opportunity.

PLUS ULTRA - Sarah Fletcher - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

High-concept, formally daring, and sonically rich... What a tremendous gift to readers to witness a poetics balanced so deftly between intellect and instinct.'' - Kayo Chingonyi. In myth, the Pillars of Hercules near the Straits of Gibraltar mark the edge of what was then the known world, with the warning Ne plus ultra - No more beyond. Beyond power, beyond the sublime, beyond love, PLUS ULTRA begins where other poetry gives up. Sarah Fletcher''s dazzling debut collection pushes at the world, reaching towards the ''beyond'' of its title poem to explore questions of power, romance, pain and the sublime. These poems challenge, play and press, but also carry an anxiety around borders: what is ''beyond''? What happens when you reach the boundary and keep going? With a sharp, Plathian interrogative voice Fletcher''s poems prowl the bars and night-haunts of Madrid and London, and in rich, mythic language plumb the below-places where discoveries are made, drowned, and left behind.

The Walk - Robert Walser - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Ranging from one-page fantasies to novella-length studies of everyday existence, The Walk reveals the irresistible genius of one of the twentieth century''s greatest writers. Under-appreciated even in his own lifetime, Robert Walser has nonetheless been recognised by such writers as W.G. Sebald, Susan Sontag, Franz Kafka, Herman Hesse and J.M. Coetzee. Like Kafka and Sebald, Walser wrote about the solitude and unease of human existence. Honest, wry and idiosyncratic, his stories are snapshots of the lives great artists, poor young men, beautiful women and talking animals alike. Ranging from the realist to the allegorical, the short fiction collected in this volume demonstrates Walser''s uncanny ability to capture both life''s strangeness and its small joys.

The Last Wolf & Herman - Laszlo Krasznahorkai - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Last Wolf & Herman - Laszlo Krasznahorkai - Bog - Profile Books Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In The Last Wolf, a philosophy professor is mistakenly hired to write the true tale of the last wolf of Extremadura, a barren stretch of Spain. His miserable experience is narrated in a single, rolling sentence to a patently bored bartender in a dreary Berlin bar. In Herman, a master trapper is asked to clear a forest''s last ''noxious beasts.'' Herman begins with great zeal, although in time he switches sides, deciding to track entirely new game... In Herman II, the same events are related from the perspective of strange visitors to the region, a group of hyper-sexualised aristocrats who interrupt their orgies to pitch in with the manhunt of poor Herman...These intense, perfect novellas, full of Krasznhorkai''s signature sense of foreboding and dark irony, are perfect examples of his craft.
