His unlikely arsenal includes a washed-up celebrity ghostwriter, retired sports legends, and elite wine experts—all fighting for relevance in the intoxicating world of luxury wine.

Los enrevesados rituales de la burocracia, lo extraordinariamente inútil que resulta la tecnología nacional, el interminable examen de conciencia que un ciudadano común tiene que hacerse antes de decidir por quién votar y las peculiares maneras de los mexicanos para dar malas noticias o presentar a dos extraños… Jorge Ibargüengoitia exhibe en esta colección de textos la inexplicable lógica detrás de la vida en este país.

You’ve been told humanity crawled out of the mud, figured out fire, built pyramids with sticks, and suddenly invented Wi-Fi. You’ve been fed a neat little timeline that skips over the giants, the gods, the glowing sky chariots, and the inconvenient artifacts that scream, “This doesn’t belong here.” This book is what happens when you stop believing the museum version and start asking: What if the ancient gods weren’t gods at all? What if aliens kickstarted civilization, then ghosted us like a bad Tinder date?

It’s the summer of 2013 and 21-year-old Ruby, a counselor at Camp Burntshore, can’t wait to supervise a rowdy cabin of 11-year-olds, smoke weed by the fire, and argue about which city make the best bagels. But when Brent, the camp owner’s son, hires Israeli soldiers to deal with a staffing shortfall, Ruby, a committed anti-Zionist, must decide if she’s willing to jeopardize her place at Burntshore to fight Brent over the contentious issues of Jewish belonging and settler colonialism, even as she finds herself falling in love with one of the soldiers, the sweetly handsome Etai.

Originally published in 1925, Heart of a Dog by Russian author and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov, is a dark, fantastical satire of the failures inherent in the dream of a Communist utopia. When a respected surgeon decides to transplant human body parts into a stray dog, he creates a monster—drunken, profligate, aggressive, and selfish. It seems the worst aspects of the donor have been transplanted as well. As his previously well-regulated home descends into riotous chaos, the doctor realizes he will have to try to reverse the operation, but the dog isn’t so keen.

This novel is a satirical look at my life, and I have never written for a porn site. There are four parts to this book: The Rehearsal (trying to figure out my life and men), The Performance (a story in two perspectives about a transgender guy being interviewed), The Reviews, and Pornopraphy (amusing selection of commentary and reviews of media products). I write just a little soft porn for humor, but mostly it's about why my satirical "drag queen" narrator started writing erotica.

Ludwig Kalisch war Gründer der Sonntagszeitung "Der Demokrat" und der Karnevalszeitschrift "Narrhalla", in welchen er Feudalismus und Zensur bekämpfte, was Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts ein höchst gefährliches Unterfangen war. Nachdem er zum Tode verurteilt wurde, lebte und arbeitete er als Journalist in London und Paris. Seine Satiren spiegeln sehr aufschlussreich und humorvoll die autoritären Macht- und Gesellschaftsstrukturen einer Zeit dar, in welcher die freiheitliche Knospe der Demokratie in Europa begann zu versuchen sich langsam zu entfalten.
