        Gebürtig

        Roman

        by Robert Schindel

        Robert Schindel erzählt in »Gebürtig« aus der Gegenwart der achtziger Jahre über jene Befangenheiten und Verstrickungen in Scham und Lüge, die sich als »gläserne Wand« immer wieder aufs neue zwischen die unsere Jahrhundertkatastrophe überlebenden Juden und die nachgewachsenen deutsch-österreichischen Nichtjuden schiebt. In den ›brodelnden Gebürtigkeiten‹ der Wiener Beisel-Boheme und des Kaffeehausmilieus, wo jüdisches Herkommen und nichtjüdischer Freundeskreis sich verstricken, ist das ungleiche Zwillingsbruderpaar Demant zu Hause. Mal handelnd, mal kommentierend und notierend, treiben Danny, der Lektor, und Alexander, genannt ›Graffito‹, zwischen Wien und Venedig, Frankfurt, Hamburg und New York, München und Freiburg das Romangeschehen weiter. »Gebürtig« ist aus dem gelebten Wissen entstanden, daß aus den Tätern und Opfern von damals im Gang der Geschichte und der Generationen Täter-Kinder und Opfer-Kinder geworden sind - gemeinsame Opfer einer niemals vergehenden Vergangenheit.

        The Buddies

        by Qin Wenjun

        This volume is short, the language is simple and fluent, and it tells the naughty story of "I" (Zhu Duoxing) and cousin Xiaosha in a first-person perspective. Zhu Duoxing and his cousin Xiaosha are in the same class, and they are messing around all the time. But Xiaosha has really bad luck, because his name sounds like "Xiaosha", which means "little dumb". Unlike the usual stories of little troublemakers, these stories are told from the standpoint of troublemakers. For example, watering the flowers and grass downstairs with a shower nozzel, and spray graffiti on the walls, etc. When female writer writes a boy story, you can feel how the boys are both naughty and dashing at the same time, which fully demonstrated the writer's solid writing skill. You will read the reason for every trick or trouble they make. Looking at the world of adults from the child's perspective, it is hard to tell if the child is ridiculous or the other way around. According to Qin Wenjun, many of the stories of these two little troublemakers evolved from the actions of her two younger brothers. Those are some remarkable naughty days, full of fun and innocence.

        Fates & Furies 4. Doomed

        Göttlich verboten

        by Josephine Angelini, Nora Jokhosha, Nicolás Artajo, Simone Wiemken

        Unsterbliche Liebe: das heißersehnte Göttlich-Prequel. Hast du das zu hoffen gewagt? Die Göttlich-Trilogie hat einen vierten Teil bekommen. Ein Prequel, Anfang und Fortsetzung zugleich. Und es spielt auch noch in New York! Vor allem aber: verbotene Liebe unter Todfeinden und griechische Götter. Daphne zieht nach New York und damit mitten hinein in einen seit Jahrtausenden währenden Krieg. Doch zunächst einmal ist ihr Problem die exklusive neue Privatschule am Central Park, auf die sie nun gehen muss – mit ihrem "echten" Gesicht, dem Gesicht …. Denn Daphne ist die Tochter von Zeus, ihr Gesicht das berühmteste der Menschheitsgeschichte und gleichzeitig ein Fluch: Sie trägt das Antlitz von Helena. Helena von Troja, Auslöserin von Krieg und Verdammnis. Umso gefährlicher ist es, als Daphne eines Tages ein Graffiti entdeckt, das sie magisch anzieht – und das ihr Gesicht zeigt. Der Künstler ist kein anderer als Ajax, der Sohn Apollos – und damit eigentlich ihr Todfeind. Eigentlich … Zwei Paare, ein Schicksal: Nach Helen und Lucas nun Daphne und Ajax. - Überraschung für Göttlich-Fans: die sehnsüchtig erwartete Fortsetzung der Saga. - Toxische Beziehung unter Göttern: verfeindete Liebende, bestimmt, einander zu töten. - Cooles Setting: New York und Streetart. - Griechische Mythologie, das Romantasy-Trendthema.

        Kilroy was here

        Ein immerwährender Kalender

        by Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Kat Menschik

        Zum Lesen, Verwerfen, Mitschreiben und Selbstdichten. Mit einer kurzen Geschichte vom geheimnisvollen Leben Kilroys und einem Daumenkino von Kat Menschik. Zur Aufmunterung des Denkens: ein Dreizeiler für jeden Tag »Der schlichte Dreizeiler / entwaffnet die Ungeduld / durch seine Kürze.« Kilroys Dreizeiler reichen für ein ganzes Jahr. Obwohl das japanische Wort haiku soviel bedeutet wie »lustiger Vers«, können es die hier präsentierten Dreizeiler nicht mit dieser ehrwürdigen Tradition aufnehmen; denn Kilroy hält es mit dem einfachen Kreidestrich. Das Graffito zieht er dem Tweet, dem Blog und dem Chat vor. Man kann seine Dreizeiler also in die Tasche stecken. Sie handeln von allem, was der Fall ist, beispielsweise von einem Frosch oder von der Europäischen Zentralbank. Wem der zu einem jeden Jahrestag gebotene Dreizeiler aber nicht gefällt, der kann ihn einfach durchstreichen und einen anderen verfassen. Denn in Kilroys kleinem Buch gibt es nicht nur unter jedem Jahrestag Platz für Notizen, sondern auch genügend Freiraum für neue, selbsterfundene Dreizeiler. Eine kurze Geschichte Kilroys und wie er sich in jede FAZ-Ausgabe des Jahres 2014 zu schmuggeln verstand, lässt den »Immerwährenden« denn doch ein gutes Ende nehmen. Und sollte noch immer jemand an Kilroys Existenz zweifeln, so wird ihn Kat Menschiks Daumenkino davon überzeugen, dass er quicklebendig ist.

        Femicide

        Violence against women

        by Julia Cruschwitz, Carolin Haentjes

        In Germany, 132 women were murdered by their (ex-)partners over the past year, according to police statistics. An attempted murder happened every other day – the real figure is in all probability much higher. Julia Cruschwitz and Carolin Haentjes unveil their book on femicides in Germany with research from interviews with academics, criminologists, police officers, social workers, lawyers, survivors, witnesses and relatives and their analysis of scientific reports. Their work highlights how the issue of femicides affects the whole of society, but there are sensible ways to protect women more effectively from male violence. All we must do is take steps to follow these.

      • DESPERATELY SEEKING BOWIE

        by Ian Castello-Cortes

        No one is bigger than Bowie. From the moment he created Ziggy Stardust, through all his subsequent incarnations, to his elegantly curated, but tragic, death, he remains the ultimate music icon. Desperately Seeking Bowie gets right under the skin of his extraordinary life, following him from modest beginnings in surburban south London, through the outrageous orgiastic partying of the 1970s, to his near death from Cocain addiction in LA, the intensely creative period in Berlin, to his astounding re-emergence after Glastonbury in 2000. What a journey. With a great insightful text, great photos and fascinating maps, this is a 100% must for any Bowie fan – old or young (and there are tons of the latter).

        Graffiti & Co

        by Rémi Vidal

        A scribbling story, people will be talking about. As his dad is walking him to school one morning, Sasha comes across a weird message written in red paint on a wall : “Police, you are sausages”. In the next few days, several similar slogans appeared all around town. Do we have to seek and unmask the one who gets already called “the rude graffer” and most of all  : what does he want to say through his mysterious messages ?     A story in 4 episodes :   The rude graffer (08:10) Whether it is at school or at home, Sasha, Susie and their friends only hear about one thing : this “rude graffer” who causes turmoil all around town. His mysterious messages do not spare anyone : the police, fire-fighters, hairdressers and even gardeners…     Deflated (11:00) As if it wasn’t enough, a deflater barges in. Soon uncovered by Sasha, she confesses to him why she proceeds to attack car tires. Torn between disapproval and sympathy towards the deflater, Sasha doesn’t know what to do… Diving into her schemes or exposing her ?   Madam Lucette (09:54) What if the deflater was in cahoots with the rude graffer ? That is what Sasha is wondering. While the police runs in circles, he thinks he might have a lead to get to the “rude graffer”...      Uncovered (12:08) We thought the case was settling down but the graffer started defying kids in his messages. That was all it took to get Sasha and Susie, his best friend, to join their efforts to once and for all unveil the mystery…    https://cutt.ly/dOocqDJ

      • DESPERATELY SEEKING DALÍ

        by Ian Castello-Cortes

        Dali gets the Desperately Seeking treatment and it's fascinating. The upper-middle class, but very provincially Catalan, background; the possibly abusive priests at school; his time at the Oxbridge of Madrid as a student, holding his talentless teachers (compared to him) in contempt, but developing his surrealist ideas with Bunuel and Lorca. Meeting Gala in Paris, whilst hob-nobbing with the mega rich. The wealthy British patrons, like Edward James, who fell in love with him in London, and his escape from a war-torn Europe to spend time on both East and West Coast USA. It's a grippng story, and the locations surprising, not least as despite his mega wealth, he followed a cycle of his Dalinian year once back in Europe: Cadaques, Paris, New York and back. And in the midst of this the prodigious work-rate of a genius, but one who was uber succesful and commercially hyper-astute. And threaded through all this, his strange sado-massochistic-voyeuristic sexuality, and a tormented, in later life, open marriage with Gala. Castello-Cortes packs a huge mount into this small volume – a total treat for all Dali fans, or the most perfect introduction to his art for new aficionados. Great photos and maps throughout.

      • DESPERATELY SEEKING VAN GOGH

        by Ian Castello-Cortes

        A totally fresh look at the life and career of Van Gogh. The Desperately Seeking treatment is a great way to get a quick sense of the shape of Vincent's extraordinary life, and dispels many of the myths. By any measure he was a bit random. Educated privately by his very respectable parents, he spent time training to be an art dealer, became a teacher in Ramsgate and London when that failed, turned crazily to religion, went and lived as a quasi-preacher in the most depressed part of Belgium, enjoyed a spell at art school in Paris (when his prostitute habit was financed by his long-suffering brother) headed to the south of France – the period of the yellow house and the ear – before spending his final years, when his paintings did begin to be celebrated, in bucolic bliss just north of Paris. He was also probably killed accidentally as a result of a teenager's prank with a revolver – not the suicide which so many specialists have suggested, such is the sentimental view of him. Wonderful Van Gogh art and photos throughout and fascinating maps.

        Gunfire-Graffiti

        Overlooked Gun Crime in the UK

        by Matt Seiber (Author)

        Hitherto uncovered crime — which is being ignored by police and authorities; A book on a completely new aspect of crime and punishment; As featured on BBC Radio, and in national and local newspapers; Colour photo section. Gunfire-Graffiti looks at the use of firearms to deface roadside structures and similar targets in public places. Based on investigations by the author and formal research, the book reveals what some people may think is a disturbing picture of gun use—one which passes largely unnoticed or is for some reason downplayed by the police, highways and other authorities. As the author shows, at the very least this kind of ‘graffiti’ is antisocial whilst it is hard to imagine circumstances in which it is not also criminal. Further, there are situations in which shooting in public can be highly dangerous. Focusing on the weapons used, from simple airguns to high velocity rifles and giving information from diverse parts of the UK, Matt Seiber paints a picture of tolerated Lawlessness which some readers will find extraordinary. A former Royal Marine and keen shooting sportsman, the author writes with the passion of someone whose deep-held concern that something is amiss has met with indifference in various quarters. His approach also displays telling humour born of frustration. It is now for the reader to decide.

        Out In Greenwood

        by James A. Lyons

        Out in Greenwood is a Taylor Swift song trapped in the body of a gay teenager. Fifteen-year-old Tim Johnson believed that coming out as gay would immediately lead to a whole new multi-coloured life, yet so far not much has changed. Yes, he may now have a boyfriend (sort of, but not quite), and be open about his sexuality (well, to four people), but he still faces the everyday teenage tribulations of an embarrassing family, insecurity, homophobic classmates, and low-paid jobs. As the Greenwood Secondary summer holidays started, Tim befriended fellow paper boy Johann, who had arrived from Sweden, and they grew to realise that they were more than just friends. As the relationship develops, a family emergency hits Johann, and he is sent to Newcastle leaving Tim with best friends Lydia and Leo, and irritating Instagram influencer, Callum. The annual marquee event, the Greenwood Secondary School Fete, is just six days away, and Tim must navigate his way carefully through social activities so he is not the centre of attention for once. When things seem to be on track, a mysterious graffiti artist starts to target him.
