Title: The Largesse of the Sea Maiden Subtitle: Stories Author: Denis Johnson Narrator: full cast Format: Unabridged Length: 5 hrs and 16 mins Language: English Release date: 01-16-18 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 26 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: 25 years after Jesus' Son, a haunting new collection of short stories on mortality and transcendence, from National Book Award winner and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist Denis Johnson The Largesse of the Sea Maiden is the long-awaited new story collection from Denis Johnson. Written in the luminous prose that made him one of the most beloved and important writers of his generation, this collection finds Johnson in new territory, contemplating the ghosts of the past and the elusive and unexpected ways the mysteries of the universe assert themselves. Finished shortly before Johnson's death, this collection is the last word from a writer whose work will live on for many years to come. Audiobook Table of Contents: "The Largesse of the Sea Maiden," read by Nick Offerman "The Starlight on Idaho," read by Michael Shannon "Strangler Bob," read by Dermot Mulroney "Triumph Over the Grave," read by Will Patton "Doppelgänger, Poltergeist" read by Liev Schreiber Advance praise for The Largesse of the Sea Maiden "Mesmerizing... psychologically revelatory, spiritually inquisitive, and grimly funny stories... Johnson will be remembered and revered as an incisive storyteller fluent in the comedy and tragedy of human confusion and the transcendence of compassion." - Booklist (starred review) "American literature suffered a serious loss with Johnson's death. These final stories underscore what we'll miss.... Johnson is best known for his writing about hard-luck cases - alcoholics, thieves, world-weary soldiers. But this final collection ranges up and down the class ladder; for Johnson, a sense of mortality and a struggle to make sense of our lives knew no demographic boundaries." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "An instant classic... A masterpiece of deep humanity and astonishing prose... It's filled with Johnson's unparalleled ability to inject humor, profundity, and beauty - often all three - into the dark and the mundane alike. These characters have been pushed toward the edge; through their searches for meaning or clawing just to hold on to life, Johnson is able to articulate what it means to be alive, and to have hope." - Publishers Weekly (starred review) Critic Reviews: "The God I want to believe in has a voice and a sense of humor like Denis Johnson's." (Jonathan Franzen) "Denis Johnson was the best American writer of the past 25 years." ( New Republic) "A true American artist...a revelator for this still new century." ( The New York Times)

Taskforce operators Pike Logan and Jennifer Cahill are used to traveling all over the world for counterterrorist missions, but this time they're in the Old City of Jerusalem under happier circumstances. Their friends Aaron and Shoshana, former operatives with Israeli Mossad, are getting married, and they've chosen to tie the knot at the Western Wall of the Temple Mount. The holiest site in Judaism and the third holiest in Islam, the Temple Mount is a fault line between Jews and Muslims, the flash point for eons of strife - and it will still prove to be true today. Unbeknownst to them, a cell of Palestinian terrorists has planned an attack against innocent tourists to incite the Arab world to demand that Israel retreat from the holy site. But the terrorists don't realize that they themselves are being played by an infiltrator with a subversive plot that will lead to the Arabs' loss of control of the Temple Mount. But even the infiltrator doesn't know the full scope of the terrorists' plans; they're preparing a strike much greater than he envisions - one that could split the fault line into total war. As Pike and Jennifer explore the Old City with their Israeli friends, neither the terrorists nor the infiltrator remember one immutable truth: In war, the enemy gets a vote.

Chambers Narrator: Philippe Duquenoy Format: Unabridged Length: 6 hrs and 56 mins Language: English Release date: 11-01-17 Publisher: A.R.N. Publications Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 12 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: This collection by Robert W. Chambers was first published in 1895 and features stories loosely tied together with one theme, the supernatural. Many of the stories in The King in Yellow were not received well by the critics of the time due to their supernatural undertones. Some of the stories mention a play by the same name that had been outlawed in some regions of the world. It was thought that the play could induce madness in those who viewed it. Two of the stories in this book take place in a fictional world of the future 1920s and are macabre in tone. Eventually, The King in Yellow would go on to become a sensation, partly due to its forbidden tone and subject matter. Today, this book of short stories is as popular as ever, especially with those who like a little supernatural mixed in with their literature.

Title: Fresh Complaint Subtitle: Stories Author: Jeffrey Eugenides Narrator: Jeffrey Eugenides, Cynthia Nixon, Ari Fliakos Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 3 mins Language: English Release date: 10-03-17 Publisher: Macmillan Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 59 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The first collection of short fiction from Pulitzer Prize-winner Jeffrey Eugenides, author of The Virgin Suicides, Middlesex, and The Marriage Plot. Jeffrey Eugenides's best selling novels have shown him to be an astute observer of the crises of adolescence, self-discovery, family love, and what it means to be American in our times. The stories in Fresh Complaint explore equally rich and intriguing territory. Ranging from the bitingly reproductive antics of "Baster" to the dreamy, moving account of a young traveler's search for enlightenment in "Air Mail" (selected by Annie Proulx for Best American Short Stories), this collection presents characters in the midst of personal and national emergencies. We meet a failed poet who, envious of other people's wealth during the real-estate bubble, becomes an embezzler; a clavichordist whose dreams of art founder under the obligations of marriage and fatherhood; and, in "Fresh Complaint," a high school student whose wish to escape the strictures of her immigrant family lead her to a drastic decision that upends the life of a middle-aged British physicist. Narratively compelling, beautifully worded, and packed with a density of ideas despite their fluid grace, these stories chart the development and maturation of a major American author. Critic Reviews: "It's not a surprise that Cynthia Nixon would be a good audiobook reader. It's surprising that she isn't hired to read every audiobook...Fliakos is endlessly entertaining while never letting theatrics outshine the characters on the page. This collection, Eugenides' first, includes 10 stories spanning three decades of the author's work. Hearing them read in a variety of voices emphasizes the changes in style and point of view that Eugenides has played with throughout his career." (Booklist) "The theme of complaint extends beyond the title story, but for listeners the key takeaway is the word 'fresh.' Jeffrey Eugenides's fresh writing...showcases his originality and - since he also narrates it - his ability to navigate multiple accents and personalities." (AudioFile) "Line by line, paragraph by paragraph, Eugenides writes like a man who is enjoying himself. The feeling is contagious." (Dwight Garner, The New York Times)

The stories in Five-Carat Soul - none of them ever published before - spring from the place where identity, humanity, and history converge. They're funny and poignant, insightful and unpredictable, imaginative and authentic - all told with McBride's unrivaled storytelling skill and meticulous eye for character and detail. McBride explores the ways we learn from the world and the people around us. An antiques dealer discovers that a legendary toy commissioned by Civil War General Robert E. Lee now sits in the home of a black minister in Queens. Five strangers find themselves thrown together and face unexpected judgment. An American president draws inspiration from a conversation he overhears in a stable. And members of The Five-Carat Soul Bottom Bone Band recount stories from their own messy and hilarious lives. As McBride did in his National Book Award-winning The Good Lord Bird and his best-selling The Color of Water, he writes with humor and insight about how we struggle to understand who we are in a world we don't fully comprehend. The result is a surprising, perceptive, and evocative collection of stories that is also a moving exploration of our human condition.

Title: The Dinner Party Subtitle: Stories Author: Joshua Ferris Narrator: Chris Kayser, Jennifer Riker, Zach Roe, Nicholas Tecosky Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 4 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Hachette Audio Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 37 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The first collection of short stories from the critically acclaimed, prize-winning author of To Rise Again at a Decent Hour. These 11 stories by Joshua Ferris, many of which were first published in The New Yorker, are at once thrilling, strange, and comic. The modern tribulations of marriage, ambition, and the fear of missing out as the temptations flow like wine and the minutes of life tick down are explored with the characteristic wit and insight that have made Ferris one of our most critically acclaimed novelists. Each of these stories burrows deep into the often awkward and hilarious misunderstandings that pass between strangers and lovers alike and that turn ordinary lives upside down. Ferris shows to what lengths we mortals go to coax human meaning from our very modest time on earth, an effort that skews ever more desperately in the direction of redemption. There's Arty Groys, the Florida retiree whose birthday celebration involves pizza, a prostitute, and a life-saving heart attack. There's Sarah, the Brooklynite whose shape-shifting existential dilemma is set in motion by a simple spring breeze. And there's Jack, a man so warped by past experience that he's incapable of having a normal social interaction with the man he hires to help him move out of storage. The stories in The Dinner Party are about lives changed forever when the reckless gives way to possibility and the ordinary cedes ground to mystery. And each one confirms Ferris' reputation as one of the most dazzlingly talented, deeply humane writers at work today.

Title: Trajectory Subtitle: Stories Author: Richard Russo Narrator: Mark Bramhall, Amanda Carlin, Fred Sanders, Arthur Morey Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 5 mins Language: English Release date: 05-02-17 Publisher: Random House Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 48 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Russo's characters in these four expansive stories bear little similarity to the blue-collar citizens we're familiar with from many of his novels. In "Horseman", a professor confronts a young plagiarist as well as her own weaknesses as the Thanksgiving holiday looms closer and closer: "And after that, who knew?" In "Intervention", a realtor facing an ominous medical prognosis finds himself in his father's shadow while he presses forward - or not. In "Voice", a semiretired academic is conned by his increasingly estranged brother into coming along on a group tour of the Venice Biennale, fleeing a mortifying incident with a traumatized student back in Massachusetts but encountering further complications in the maze of Venice. And in "Milton and Marcus", a lapsed novelist struggles with his wife's illness and tries to rekindle his screenwriting career, only to be stymied by the pratfalls of that trade when he's called to an aging iconic star's mountaintop retreat in Wyoming. Critic Reviews: "In this collection of short stories and novellas by the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, a team of talented narrators - Amanda Carlin, Arthur Morey, Fred Sanders, and Mark Bramhall - takes to the task of portraying Russo's troubled male protagonists.... Morey shines brightest with dramatic emphasis and pauses as a fragile relationship between brothers plays to a bitter end. Also, in a story that could be autobiographical, Russo is ably aided by Bramhall in his exploration of the wacky world of Hollywood moviemaking and how entering the orbit of stars can produce a poignant portrait of middle-aged men who are still struggling to find their place in the world."

Title: The Accusation Subtitle: Forbidden Stories from Inside North Korea Author: Bandi Narrator: David Shih Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 10 mins Language: English Release date: 04-11-17 Publisher: Tantor Audio Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 35 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: The Accusation is a deeply moving and eye-opening work of fiction that paints a powerful portrait of life under the North Korean regime. Set during the period of Kim Il-sung and Kim Jong-il's leadership, the seven stories that make up The Accusation give voice to people living under this most bizarre and horrifying of dictatorships. The characters of these compelling stories come from a wide variety of backgrounds, from a young mother living among the elite in Pyongyang whose son misbehaves during a political rally, to a former Communist war hero who is deeply disillusioned with the intrusion of the Party into everything he holds dear, to a husband and father who is denied a travel permit and sneaks onto a train in order to visit his critically ill mother. Written with deep emotion and writing talent, The Accusation is a vivid depiction of life in a closed-off one-party state, and also a hopeful testament to the humanity and rich internal life that persists even in such inhumane conditions. Critic Reviews: "The Accusation continues to make international history as the first literary work smuggled out of repressive North Korea...As Bandi's characters both fear and sling accusations, the title takes on piercing gravitas for readers."

Title: Homesick for Another World Subtitle: Stories Author: Ottessa Moshfegh Narrator: Richard Poe, Alyssa Bresnahan Format: Unabridged Length: 8 hrs and 25 mins Language: English Release date: 01-27-17 Publisher: Recorded Books Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 41 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: Ottessa Moshfegh's debut novel, Eileen, was one of the literary events of 2015. Garlanded with critical acclaim, it was named a book of the year by The Washington Post and the San Francisco Chronicle, selected as a BEA Buzz pick, and nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award. But as many critics noted, Moshfegh is particularly held in awe for her short stories. Homesick for Another World is the rare case where an author's short story collection is if anything more anticipated than her novel. And for good reason. There's something eerily unsettling about Ottessa Moshfegh's stories, something almost dangerous, while also being delightful and even laugh-out-loud funny. Her characters are all unsteady on their feet in one way or another; they all yearn for connection and betterment, though each in very different ways, but they are often tripped up by their own baser impulses and existential insecurities. Homesick for Another World is a master class in the varieties of self-deception across the gamut of individuals representing the human condition. But part of the unique quality of her voice, the Moshfeghian experience, is the way the grotesque and the outrageous are infused with tenderness and compassion. Moshfegh is our Flannery O'Connor, and Homesick for Another World is her Everything That Rises Must Converge or A Good Man Is Hard to Find. The flesh is weak; the timber is crooked; people are cruel to each other, and stupid, and hurtful. But beauty comes from strange sources. And the dark energy surging through these stories is powerfully invigorating. We're in the hands of an author with a big mind, a big heart, blazing chops, and a political acuity that is needle-sharp. The needle hits the vein before we even feel the prick. Critic Reviews: "What distinguishes Ottessa Moshfegh's writing is that unnamable quality that makes a new writer's voice, against all odds and the deadening surround of lyrical postures, sound unique." (Jeffrey Eugenides, in judges' citation for The Paris Review's Plimpton Prize for Fiction)

Si sentono gli odori e si percepiscono gli sguardi. Con poche pennellate evoca i personaggi in un modo talmente vivo da renderli realmente presenti. Con pochi tratti ce li fa conoscere nella loro intimità e con le loro piccole debolezze così umane. Ma sempre con uno sguardo insieme ironico e affettuoso. Ed è per questo che finiamo per amarli: ci sembra di conoscerli, di aver fatto con loro un tratto di strada. I racconti raccolti in questo audiolibro ci restituiscono al meglio l'affabulatore Camilleri. Tra i più intimi, autobiografici e sentiti del romanziere siciliano, questi racconti fulminanti ci riservano una sorpresa in più, perché i personaggi evocati si chiamano Leonardo Sciascia e Luigi Pirandello, Eduardo De Filippo e Renato Rascel, Jean Genet e Samuel Beckett, George Patton. Ed è così che Camilleri ci porta per mano dentro storie vere, che appartengono alla sua vita e alla sua memoria, e che finalmente vedono la luce. L'avvento del fascismo e lo sbarco degli Alleati, il separatismo e la mafia, le amicizie e la famiglia, gli incontri con i grandi maestri e, su tutto, lei: l'amata Sicilia. Raccolti da Francesco Anzalone e Giorgio Santelli.
