Afortunadamente para nosotros, el autor sueco más reconocido e interesante de nuestros tiempos, Fredrik Backman (Un hombre llamado Ove, Gente ansiosa, Britt-Marie estuvo aquí), nos alumbra el camino con anécdotas personales tan graciosas como enternecedoras. A mi hijo: Quiero pedirte disculpas por todo lo que haré durante más o menos los próximos dieciocho años. Pero, cuando me ponga difícil, cuando me comporte de forma bochornosa, o arbitraria o injusta contigo, quiero que recuerdes bien aquel día que te negaste a decirme dónde diablos habías escondido las malditas llaves del coche. Entonces, quiero que recuerdes que fuiste tú quien lo empezó todo. —Tu papá. Cosas que mi hijo necesita saber sobre el mundo abarca las preocupaciones, situaciones y temáticas de la paternidad de forma lúdica y sensible como pocos saben hacerlo. Una invitación honesta y conmovedora a celebrar los altibajos y el camino imperfecto de la paternidad. FREDRIK BACKMAN es autor de nueve libros, entre ellos el bestseller internacional Un hombre llamado Ove, cuya versión cinematográfica fue candidata a dos Óscar, y Gente ansiosa, una futura serie en Netflix. Sus obras han sido traducidas a cuarenta y seis idiomas. Backman vive en Estocolmo con su esposa y sus dos hijos.

The Happily Ever After: A Memoir of an Unlikely Romance Novelist by Avi Steinberg
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/396852 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Happily Ever After: A Memoir of an Unlikely Romance Novelist Author: Avi Steinberg Narrator: Dustin Rubin Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 6 hours 57 minutes Release date: August 11, 2020 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: A memoir about writing a novel about searching for love. Is romance dead? Is that why there are so many vampires in today's romance novels? When Avi Steinberg's love life took a grim turn, he did what he always does: He consulted his old books, the usual cast of Great (Very Serious, Usually Male) Authors. And he immediately realized that these books were part of the problem. Instead, he began to read romances, the books he--like so many of us--have been conditioned to dismiss as 'trashy.' What he discovered was a genre that was tremendously diverse and daring, along with a vast network of innovative writers who were keeping the novel as alive as ever. His own relationship problems, he realized, came down to a failure of his imagination. And so he set out on a quest to write and publish a romance novel and to find real-life love. A hybrid of memoir, travelogue, and critical essay, The Happily Ever After chronicles an adventure in a brave new world of literature. Steinberg offers a report from the trenches of romance, moving between major industry conferences and writing groups at the local bar as he works and reworks his romance novel idea. He reveals the inside scoop from a major romance publishing house, crisscrosses the country meeting mysterious ghostwriters and Fabio's great unsung rival, and offers a running take on the fascinating history of romance writing, the genre that invented, and continues to reinvent, the modern novel. Along the way he meets many readers, each of whom sheds light on why we are so fascinated by--and phobic of--romance fiction and what the vitality and fractiousness of our biggest genre says about us. With quirky wit and disarming honesty, Steinberg captures an often misunderstood literary culture and learns, from its devoted practitioners, how to take the Happily Ever After seriously in his own life.

Sure, he's an insanely successful and beloved movie star drowning in wealth and privilege—but he's also lonely. Maybe past his prime. Maybe even ... getting fat? He's tried diets, gurus, and cuddling with his military-grade Israeli guard dogs, but nothing seems to lift the cloud of emptiness and ennui. Even the sage advice of his best friend, actor and dinosaur skull collector Nicolas Cage, isn't enough to pull Carrey out of his slump. But then Jim meets Georgie: ruthless ingénue, love of his life. And with the help of auteur screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, he has a role to play in a boundary-pushing new picture that may help him uncover a whole new side to himself—finally, his Oscar vehicle! Things are looking up! But the universe has other plans. Memoirs and Misinformation is a fearless semi-autobiographical novel, a deconstruction of persona. In it, Jim Carrey and Dana Vachon have fashioned a story about acting, Hollywood, agents, celebrity, privilege, friendship, romance, addiction to relevance, fear of personal erasure, our 'one big soul,' Canada, and a cataclysmic ending of the world—apocalypses within and without.

Everything is an Emergency: An OCD Story by Jason Adam Katzenstein

Title: Everything is an Emergency: An OCD Story Author: Jason Adam Katzenstein Narrator: Michael Crouch Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 1 hour 17 minutes Release date: June 30, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 5 of Total 1 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 1 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: “This book undid me in all the best ways. Everything is an Emergency is a brilliant, honest, necessary book that exposes the intricacies of the human brain while showing us the way creativity and friendship can anchor us. This is a must-read for anyone who has ever wondered if they see the world a little differently.” –Ada Limón A New Yorker cartoonist illustrates his lifelong struggle with OCD Jason Adam Katzenstein is just trying to live his life, but he keeps getting sidetracked by his over-active, anxious brain. Mundane events like shaking hands or sharing a drink snowball into absolute catastrophes. Jason has Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, a mental illness that compels him to perform rituals in order to protect himself from dangers that don’t really exist. He checks, washes, over-thinks, rinse, repeat.  He does his best to hide his embarrassing compulsions, and sometimes this even works. He grows up, worries about his first kiss, falls in love with making cartoons, moves to New York City — which is magical and gross, etc. All the while, half his energy goes into living his life, while the other half is devoted to the increasingly ridiculous rituals he’s decided to maintain to keep himself from fully short-circuiting,  Then, he fully short-circuits.  At his absolute lowest, Jason finally decides to do the things he’s always been told to do to get better: exposure therapy and medication. These are the things that have always freaked him out, and they continue to freak him out. Also, they help him recover.  Everything is an Emergency is about all the self-destructive stories someone tells himself, over and over, until they start to seem true. In images surreal, witty, and confessional, Jason shows us that OCD can be funny, even when it feels like it’s ruining your life.

The Motion of the Body Through Space: A Novel by Lionel Shriver
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/397991 to listen full audiobooks. Title: The Motion of the Body Through Space: A Novel Author: Lionel Shriver Narrator: Laurence Bouvard Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 12 hours 11 minutes Release date: May 19, 2020 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: In Lionel Shriver’s entertaining send-up of today’s cult of exercise—which not only encourages better health, but now like all religions also seems to promise meaning, social superiority, and eternal life—an aging husband’s sudden obsession with extreme sport makes him unbearable. After an ignominious early retirement, Remington announces to his wife Serenata that he’s decided to run a marathon. This from a sedentary man in his sixties who’s never done a lick of exercise in his life. His wife can’t help but observe that his ambition is “hopelessly trite.” A loner, Serenata disdains mass group activities of any sort. Besides, his timing is cruel. Serenata has long been the couple’s exercise freak, but by age sixty, her private fitness regimes have destroyed her knees, and she’ll soon face debilitating surgery. Yes, becoming more active would be good for Remington’s heart, but then why not just go for a walk? Without several thousand of your closest friends? As Remington joins the cult of fitness that increasingly consumes the Western world, her once-modest husband burgeons into an unbearable narcissist. Ignoring all his other obligations, he engages a saucy, sexy personal trainer named Bambi, who treats Serenata with contempt. When Remington sets his sights on the legendarily grueling triathlon, MettleMan, Serenata is sure he’ll end up injured or dead. And even if he does survive, their marriage may not. The Motion of the Body Through Space is vintage Lionel Shriver written with psychological insight, a rich cast of characters, lots of verve and petulance, an astute reading of contemporary culture, and an emotionally resonant ending.

Title: Simon Evans Goes to Market: The Complete Series 1-5: A BBC Radio 4 Comedy and Economics Show Author: Simon Evans, Tim Harford Narrator: Simon Evans, Tim Harford, Full Cast Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 9 hours 17 minutes Release date: March 19, 2020 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: All five series of Simon Evans’ BBC Radio 4 show explaining economics through comedy How do you make money funny? How do you put the comedy in commodity? In this BBC radio show, Simon Evans sets himself the challenge of making economics entertaining through comedic lectures, with the help of special guests including investment gurus, financial journalists and economists. In Series 1 and 2, he examines the chequered social and economic histories of eight important commodities: land, gold, oil, grain, alcohol, tobacco, coffee and sugar. By looking at these fundamental products, Simon brings us to a closer understanding of how global economic forces have a far-reaching and often surprising impact on our lives. Series 3 sees him exploring four of the stages that mark our journey through life – youth, marriage, birth and death – and how economics is part of every one of those stages, whether we like it or not. In Series 4, Simon looks at the concept of the ‘free lunch’ and shines a light on new ways of making money in the 21st Century, from social media and multinationals that appear to be operating tax-free to philanthropy and the cost of health. Finally, in Series 5, he points his jokenomics lens at the competing theories of Macro Economics and the ‘Big Beards’ who devised them – Adam Smith, Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes – and reflects on how they shape our world today, and how they can help us out of our current economic predicament. Among his regular guests are Financial Times columnist and presenter of Radio 4’s More Or Less, Tim Harford; Timandra Harkness, author of Big Data: Does Size Matter?; and the Queen of investment know-how, editor-in-chief of MoneyWeek Merryn Somerset Webb. Produced by Tilusha Ghelani (Series 1), Claire Jones (Series 2 and 3), Richard Morris (Series 4 and 5)

Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling: And Other Feminist Fairy Tales by Laura Lane, Ellen Haun
Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/405280 to listen full audiobooks. Title: Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling: And Other Feminist Fairy Tales Author: Laura Lane, Ellen Haun Narrator: Amber Reauchean Williams, Ellen Haun, Laura Lane Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 18 minutes Release date: March 10, 2020 Genres: Comedy, Satire & Parody Publisher's Summary: This wickedly wise (and wisecracking) parody of classic fairy tales redefines happily ever after for the modern feminist era. You know what? It's super creepy to kiss a woman who is unconscious. And you know what else? The way out of poverty isn't by marrying a rich dude -- or by wearing fragile footwear, for that matter. And while we're at it, why is the only woman who lives with seven men expected to do the cooking, cleaning, and laundry? Fairytales need a reboot, and comedy queens Laura Lane and Ellen Haun are the women to do it. In Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling, they offer a rollicking parody of classic (read: patriarchal) tales that turns sweet, submissive princesses into women who are perfectly capable of being the heroes of their own stories. Mulan climbs the ranks in the army but wages a different war when she finds out she's getting paid less than her fellow male captains, Wendy learns never to trust a man-boy stalking her window, Sleeping Beauty's prince gets a lesson in consent, and more. Busting with laugh-out-loud, razor-sharp twists to these outdated tales, Cinderella and the Glass Ceiling is fun, magical, necessary, and totally woke.
