Murder on Faux Pas Island , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 398min
The year is 1935, but this is an America where cross-dressing goes almost unremarked, often unnoticed, and gay relationships are mundane; gay marriage, a quotidian fact of life. Famed chef and female impersonator Pancetta Brulee of New Orleans has been hired to cater a gay engagement party for two prominent grooms at the infamous Faux Pas Island and the Robicheaux estate. Both the family and island have a terrible past, and most Cajuns and Creoles avoid the place like the plague. Pancetta attends the weekend engagement party, only to be faced with a gory murder. The family enlists her and her gorgeous yet restless ex, who happens to be on the island as a groundskeeper. The two embark on a strenuous search for the truth of a tragic Saturday night. Among the suspects are a disillusioned fiancé, a Hollywood starlet sister-in-law, an old family friend and admirer of the deceased, a godmother and countess of Romania, a disapproving mother and father, and a spurned lover of the dead man who has long been a rival for his father's affections. Murder on Faux Pas Island unfolds as a yarn with campy humor and a hint of romance. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kevin Lusignolo.

The Prettiest Girl on Stage Is a Man: Race and Gender Benders in American Vaudeville , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 448min
In this lively and enlightening study, Kathleen B. Casey explores the ways in which the gender- and race-bending spectacles of vaudeville dramatized the economic, technological, social, and cultural upheaval that gripped the United States in the early 20th century. She focuses on four key performers. Eva Tanguay, known as "The I Don't Care Girl", was loved for her defiance of Victorian decorum, linking white womanliness to animalistic savagery at a time when racial and gender ideologies were undergoing significant reconstruction. In contrast, Julian Eltinge, the era's foremost female impersonator, used race to exaggerate notions of manliness and femininity in a way that reinforced traditional norms more than it undermined them. Lillyn Brown, a biracial woman who portrayed a cosmopolitan black male dandy while singing about an antebellum southern past, offered her audiences, black and white, starkly different visual and aural messages about race and gender. Finally, Sophie Tucker, who often performed in blackface during the early years of her long and heralded career, strategically played with prevailing ideologies by alternately portraying herself as white, Jewish, black, manly, and womanly, while managing, remarkably, to convince audiences that these identities could coexist within one body. The book is published by The University of Tennessee Press. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Lee Ann Howlett. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/063149/bk_acx0_063149_sample.mp3.

Good Luck Charm , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 123min
Miserable and depressed after yet another failed relationship, Dixie has been roped into playing chauffeur on her grandmother and great aunt's annual pilgrimage to Graceland. The only thing worse than being depressed and alone with a pint of ice cream is being depressed and accompanied by a couple of batty septuagenarians with Elvis obsessions. It's all well and good until the ancient Cadillac breaks down in the middle of nowhere. The only shelter available is at the decrepit, mafia-run Viva Tupelo Hotel and Casino. As they are checking in to the hotel that has seen far better days, Dixie sees the last person she expects: her ex. The man who dumped her without a backward glance. Nick never wanted to be an undercover agent. He was pretty happy with his IT position in a local field office and the curvy brunette who made his head spin. But by virtue of having the right look and the ability to sing, he was suddenly an Elvis impersonator spying on a mob boss. And the curvy brunette who made his head spin just walked into the middle of his first and only sting operation. He's not sure who's going to kill him first - the mob boss he's burning or the woman who could blow his cover! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Suzanne Barbetta.

No Land's Man: A Perilous Journey through Romance, Islam, and Brunch , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 263min
My father moved our family to the United States because of a word. It was a word whose meaning fascinated him. It was a singularly American word, a fat word, a word that could only be spoken with decadent pride. That word was . . . Brunch! 'The beauty of America,' he would say, 'is they have so much food, that between breakfast and lunch they have to stop and eat again.' —from "International House of Patel" If you're an Indo-Muslim-British-American actor who has spent more time in bars than mosques over the past few decades, turns out it's a little tough to explain who you are or where you are from. In No Land's Man Aasif Mandvi explores this and other conundrums through stories about his family, ambition, desire, and culture, stories that range from dealing with his brunch-obsessed father, to being a high-school-age Michael Jackson impersonator, to joining a Bible study group in order to seduce a nice Christian girl, to improbably becoming America's favorite Muslim/Indian/Arab/Brown/Doctor correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. This is a book filled with passion, discovery, and humor. Mandvi hilariously and poignantly describes a journey that will resonate with anyone who has had to navigate his or her way in the murky space between lands. Or anyone who really loves brunch. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Aasif Mandvi. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/adbl/021382/bk_adbl_021382_sample.mp3.

My Father Was Carmen Miranda!: Memoirs of an English Showgirl , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 332min
Find out what it was like to play the big UK theaters as the bombs fell.... My Father Was Carmen Miranda! is the story of music-hall showgirl Nena Jover Kelty - part of the renowned Jover family who entertained in circuses, theaters, and music halls throughout the world for three generations. When her father's act, The Two Jovers, broke up in 1939, Tommy Jover drafted his children to form a new act, Tommy Jover with Nena and Raf. They played all over Britain through the dark years of World War II, from 1939 to 1946. Although buzz bombs were falling, food was scarce, and travel was often dangerous, nothing would frighten the Brits into giving up their evenings at the music hall. In the best tradition of British variety, Tommy Jover did a raucous turn as a female impersonator - music hall patrons screamed with delight when he topped his head with a fruit basket and made like Carmen Miranda - much to the embarrassment of young Nena, who played straight to her father's comic antics. My Father Was Carmen Miranda! offers glimpses of well-known British headliners like Max Miller, George Formby, Tommy Trinder, Vera Lynn, Flanagan and Allen, Dick Henderson, and Tessie O'Shea and is a vivid backstage look at the vanished world of the English music hall. ungekürzt.

Snip: A Jack Vu Mystery, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 439min
The female corpse snagged along the Mississippi riverbank wasn’t the only life that washed ashore that year. Throughout the South, Hurricane Katrina had inflicted death and destruction as quickly as a serpent’s strike. In this third Jack Vu mystery, Air Force Investigator Jack Vu finds himself displaced by Katrina, along with countless others. He has lost his home, a boat christened “The Arctic Wing", which had provided him solitude and solace on the water, much like the Mekong Delta of his youth. Forced to now live in an overcrowded barracks, Jack actually looks forward to investigating the apparent suicide of a female Air Force officer in Louisville, Kentucky because it affords him a clean private hotel room. One death soon becomes two, and Vu finds himself partnered with Big Easy cops Dorene Gates and Bruce Hill, one of whom is being held for murder (implicated by a delicate snip of pubic hair) and the other who is “bunking in” with the reluctant investigator. Louisville’s Southern justice and dark past come back to haunt its residents. From a Mississippi riverbank, to historic Churchill Downs, Jack must tread carefully through tainted jockeys, bantering musicians, and even a quirky Elvis impersonator in order to uncover their secrets. Social classes collide, proud residents protect their own, and some secrets are best taken to the grave. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jerry Lyden, Giz Coughlin.

Boston Blackie, Vol. 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 329min
Here are original broadcasts of the old-time radio show featuring amateur detective Boston Blackie. Created by author Jack Boyle, Boston Blackie was a master safecracker and hardened criminal who served time in a California prison. Rehabilitated, he decided to use his knowledge of the underworld to fight crime as an amateur detective. Known as "an enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friend", Boston Blackie's exploits were adapted to film, radio, and television. While investigating cases, Blackie would invariably encounter harebrained Police Inspector Faraday and always solve the crime before Faraday could. The initial friction between Blackie and Faraday gave way as the series continued and Faraday came to recognize Blackie's talents, occasionally even requesting his assistance. Blackie dated Mary Wesley, and for the first half of the series his best pal, Shorty, was on hand. Boston Blackie is played by Richard Kollmar in these 12 exciting episodes, which aired between December 1946 and March 1947: "Mary, Registered Nurse", "Police Impersonator", "The Derailed Gold Train", "Carl Browning Cleaning Shop", "The Search for Jim Gary", "Jacques Pierre and the Diamonds", "Seven Years' Bad Luck for Florence Wells", "Joe Delivers the Goods", "Larry 'The Kid' vs. Savinni", "The Tenth Street Gym and the Stolen Car Ring", "Sam Fisher's Past", and "The Horseroom Thefts of Boston Blackie".
