    High Priest of California , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 166min
    She was leaning against the door. Her smile was a sickly twisted grimace; the sort a prisoner gives a judge when he's asked if he has anything to say before he's sentenced. Russell Haxby is a ruthless used-car salesman obsessed with manipulating and cavorting with married women. In this classic of hard-boiled fiction, Charles Willeford crafts a wry, sardonic tale of hypocrisy, intrigue, and lust set in San Francisco in the early '50s. In High Priest of California every sentence masks innuendo, every detail hides a clue, and every used-car sale is as outrageous as every seduction. First published 1953.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Chris Andrew Ciulla. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/055059/bk_adbl_055059_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    Mankind & Other Stories of Women , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 297min
    Marianne Ackerman's second collection of stories for Guernica puts the focus on women, their ascent into selfhood, the beauty and carnage of their journey. Literary Montreal is the setting of two stories spun around an alpha poseur, George. Picking up from the Gothic shadows of "Albert Fine" in Holy Fools (Guernica, 2014), Ackerman follows the lives of an Ontario farm family marked by a bloody incident they struggle to understand. Four interlocking stories plumb the secrets of one man's sister, ex-wife, friend, and mother. Sardonic and often funny, these tales follow the byways of aspiration and self-deception, casting light on all. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jennifer Dale.

    Blue Bamboo
    A glimpse into the humorous, sardonic world of Dazai Osamu, presenting a new and very different look at a one of the recognized masters of Japanese, and indeed global, literature. These works from the middle years of his brief career show a skilled hand, with angst muted and his penchant for subtle comedy deftly displayed. Scholars and fans often divide the career of Dazai Osamu (1909-1948) into three periods: early, middle, and late. The early and late periods tend to get all the attention, but in fact Dazai was at his very best in the middle period, which corresponds roughly to the years of the Pacific War. All the stories in this collection, with the exception of the early "Romanesque," were written during that time.

    Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator, Collection 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 355min
    Initially launched as Barrie Crane, Confidential Investigator on NBC in 1951, the series soon made a name change to Barrie Craig, Confidential Investigator. It starred movie and film veteran William Gargan as hard-boiled New York-based private eye Barry Craig. Gargan had been playing Martin Kane, Private Detective on both radio and TV. In the summer of 1951, Gargan cleared the decks for his role as Barrie Craig. Gruff, blunt and sardonic but with a good sense of humor, Gargan was perfect for the genre and in the role of Barrie Craig. He was handsomely paid too - Gargan’s reported contract paid him $1 million for 5 years. The writers of the series were radio’s best, including Frank Kane, Ernest Kinoy, Louie Vittes and John Roeburt. Directors included Edward King, Himan Brown, Arthur Jacobson and Andrew C. Love. Barrie Craig officed on the 3rd floor of the Mercantile Building on Manhattan’s Madison Avenue and took on cases too tough for police. He was fiercely independent, sardonic and doggedly persistent in his search for a killer. The supporting casts read like a who’s who of New York’s finest voice talent including: Santos Ortega, Elspeth Eric, Joan Alexander, Parker Fennelly, Arnold Moss and Luis Van Rooten. Don Pardo and Ed King did the announcing. It enjoyed a successful run, lasting until 1954. 12/5/51 "The Paper Bullets" 12/12/51 "Death and the Purple Cow" 1/16/52 "Fatal Appointment" 1/23/52 "The Deadly Fight" 2/6/52 "Diary of Death" 2/13/52 "A Time to Kill" 2/20/52 "Motive for Murder" 1/4/53 "The Crimson Queen" 6/14/53 "The Lost Lady" 9/22/53 "Kitchens Come with Knives" 10/13/53 "Fog Over Murder" 11/3/53 "The Lonely Corner" ungekürzt.

    Wage Slave: Anthology , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 44min
    Are you a wage slave?  As children we can’t help but dream of all of the amazing things that we will accomplish.  Then life happens.  We get a job, we get a house, and we get into debt. We settle.  We trade away our youth for security in old age. We spend countless hours performing mundane tasks that leave us depleted and empty. Our souls crave meaning, but we are too afraid to make any change.  We work for the weekend. Work for the holidays. Work for retirement.  We live to work rather than working to live.  Through sardonic humour, Wage Slave highlights the absurdity of the modern approach to work and life. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Zachary Phillips. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/155456/bk_acx0_155456_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
