    Tel Aviv Noir , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 526min
    Akashic Books continues its groundbreaking series of original noir anthologies, launched with the summer '04 award-winning best seller Brooklyn Noir. Each book is comprised of all-new stories, each one set in a distinct neighborhood or location within the respective city. For Tel Aviv Noir, Etgar Keret and Assaf Gavron have masterfully assembled some of Israel's top contemporary writers into a compulsively readable collection. From the introduction by Etgar Keret: "In spite of its outwardly warm and polite exterior, Tel Aviv has quite a bit to hide. At any club, most of the people dancing around you to the sounds of a deep-house hit dedicated to peace and love have undergone extensive automatic-weapons training and a hand-grenade tutorial... The workers washing the dishes in the fluorescent-lit kitchen of that same club are Eritrean refugees who have crossed the Egyptian border illegally, along with a group of bedouins smuggling some high-quality hash, which the deejay will soon be smoking on his little podium, right by the busy dance floor filled with drunks, coked-up lawyers, and Ukrainian call girls whose pimp keeps their passports in a safe two streets away. Don't get me wrong - Tel Aviv is a lovely, safe city. Most of the time, for most of its inhabitants. But the stories in this collection describe what happens the rest of the time, to the rest of its inhabitants. From one last cup of coffee at a caf targeted by a suicide bomber, through repeat visits from a Yiddish-speaking ghost, to an organized tour of mythological crime scenes that goes terribly wrong, the stories of Tel Aviv Noir reveal the concealed, scarred face of this city that we love so much." Featuring brand-new stories by: Etgar Keret, Gadi Taub, Lavie Tidhar, Deakla Keydar, Matan Hermoni, Julia Fermentto, Gon Ben Ari, Shimon Adaf, Alex Epstein, Antonio Ungar, Gai Ad, Assaf Gavron, Silje Bekeng, and Yoav Katz. ungekürzt.

    The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God & Other Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 265min
    Classic warped and wonderful stories from a "genius" (The New York Times) and master storyteller. Brief, intense, painfully funny, and shockingly honest, Etgar Keret's stories are snapshots that illuminate with intelligence and wit the hidden truths of life. As with the best writers of fiction, hilarity and anguish are the twin pillars of his work. Keret covers a remarkable emotional and narrative terrain - from a father's first lesson to his boy to a standoff between soldiers caught up in the Middle East conflict to a slice of life where nothing much happens. New to Riverhead's list, these wildly inventive, uniquely humane stories are for fans of Etgar Keret's inimitable style and fans of transforming, brilliant fiction. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kirby Heyborne. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/peng/002705/bk_peng_002705_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Die einsame Bodybuilderin
    »Das kraftvolle In-Erscheinung-Treten einer Künstlerin.« Kenzaburo Oe, japanischer LiteraturnobelpreisträgerEine Hausfrau wird zur Bodybuilderin, aber ihrem arbeitssüchtigen Ehemann fallen die neuen Muskeln nicht einmal auf. Eine Verkäuferin in einer Boutique wartet stundenlang auf eine Kundin, die sich in der Umkleide verschanzt hat und die vielleicht auch ein Alien ist. Eine junge Frau bemerkt, wie sich das Gesicht ihres frischgebackenen Ehemanns plötzlich beginnt, ihrem eigenen anzugleichen. In diesen 11 preisgekrönten Storys gewähren die Figuren einen Blick hinter die Kulissen ihrer scheinbar langweiligen Leben. Zum Vorschein kommt das Bizarre, das Groteske, das Fantastische, das Fremde. Und die - hinter all dem verborgen - Freiheit.»Ich wünschte, ich könnte in Motoyas Buch leben. Ihre Wahrnehmung und ihre Weisheit lassen das alltägliche Leben magisch und aufregend erscheinen, und die merkwürdigsten Erfahrung fühlt sich plötzlich ganz vertraut an.« Etgar Keret

    Todd , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 13min
    Do not let Etgar Keret deceive you. The Israeli writer who's worked in film, illustration, animation, and radio, is a storyteller in all senses of the word. Like a conman, he'll promise you a simple story and then the next thing you know your emotional reserves have been completely emptied. It's a literary bait and switch, and he'll get you every time.Here, in “Todd,” a story that also challenges the boundaries between literature and reality, Etgar directly engages with the wonderful deception of fiction itself. The titular friend asks the narrator, who resembles Etgar—an Israeli short story writer who frequently appears on NPR—to write a story that'll help him get girls into bed. The narrator must then explain that writing doesn't work that way: "A story isn't a magic spell or hypnotherapy," the narrator claims, and yet that is exactly what happens here.About Recommended Reading:Great authors inspire us. But what about the stories that inspire them? Recommended Reading, the latest project from Electric Literature, publishes one story every week, each chosen by a great author or editor. In this age of distraction, we uncover writing that's worth slowing down and spending some time with. And in doing so, we help give great writers, literary magazines, and independent presses the recognition (and readership) they deserve. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Matthew Josdal.

That this statement no longer shocks is itself shocking. Post-Snowden, we know that the government - everywhere - has been reading our emails, listening to our phone calls, and watching whatever we do on the Internet. The only thing concealed is the nature of our watchers. In Watchlist, some of today's most prominent and promising fiction writers from around the globe respond to, reflect on, and mine for inspiration the surveillance culture in which we live. From drone strikes to birds mistaken for spies, paintings that change when they're not looked at to machines that let their dying users look back and reconsider the most important decisions of their lives, these stories take a broad and imaginative look at the state of surveillance in our global and interconnected world. How does constant surveillance affect us? Does it change how we behave as we seek approval or avoid judgment from an often faceless audience? Do we know who's watching? What does it mean to be watched? By turns political, apolitical, cautionary, and surreal, these stories reflect on what it's like to live in the surveillance state. Edited by Bryan Hurt. ungekürzt.
