Carrie Kills A Man* is about growing up in a world that doesn't want you, and about how it feels to throw a hand grenade into a perfect life. It's the story of how a tattooed transgender rock singer killed a depressed suburban dad, and of the lessons you learn when you renounce all your privilege and power. When more people think they've seen a ghost than met a trans person, it's easy for bad actors to exploit that - and they do, as you can see from the headlines and online. But here's the reality, from someone who's living it. From coming out and navigating trans parenthood to the thrills of gender-bending pop stars, fashion disasters and looking like Velma Dinkley, this is a tale of ripping it up and starting again: Carrie's story in all its fearless, frank and funny glory. *"Spoiler: That man was me." - Carrie

Nonfiction. Philosophy. Winner of the 2010 Next Generation Indie Book Award for Social Change. "Sedulously argued, this thoughtful book attempts nothing less than a revalorization of prejudice--its meaning, the way it manifests itself, and its effect on individuals (the prejudiced and those who feel the sting of it) as well as the world around them. It's an ambitious undertaking, deftly navigated by Michael Eskin, who cogently offers an entirely original framework for identifying prejudice and even confronting it. In an environment that has been optimistically (if naively) called post-racial--in which racial, gender, and ethnic divides appear to have as much poignant resolve as ever--Eskin's important book offers a set of powerful pathways for comprehending and addressing a pernicious aspect of life that remains far too at home in the headlines, the rural backroads, and the chill of urban streets"--Jeffrey Rothfeder, former BusinessWeek, Time Inc., and Bloomberg News editor, and author of McIlhenny's Gold: How a Louisiana Family Built the Tabasco Empire and Every Drop for Sale: Our Desperate Battle over Water in a World About to Run Out.

I'm Celibate...Get Me Out Of Here! is the hysterically funny, true story of Jo Elliott, a solvent, successful and single 30-something from London who's looking for her ideal man. Having explored all the traditional avenues, she reluctantly looks at a dating website. "Oh god. That's for freaks and weirdos!", she declares, before signing up. This book is a frank, fiesty, laugh out loud account of Jo's subsequent encounters. She tells it like it is - and it ain't pretty! From a never ending succession of messages from men with fake pictures and names like Big_Cock_4U, to dull dates with blokes who've lied about everything (especially their height). Not to mention custard pies and the angry wife she didn't know existed. Hilarious REAL emails Jo received show how digital-cupid can get it SO wrong, but equally how easy it is to fall in love with someone you've never even met over the keyboard.

A TIME magazine Must-Read Book of the Year Ever wonder what your therapist is thinking? Now you can find out, as therapist and New York Times bestselling author Lori Gottlieb takes us behind the scenes of her practice - where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she). When a personal crisis causes her world to come crashing down, Lori Gottlieb - an experienced therapist with a thriving practice in Los Angeles - is suddenly adrift. Enter Wendell, himself a veteran therapist with an unconventional style, whose sessions with Gottlieb will prove transformative for her. As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her own patients' lives - a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen who feels she has nothing to live for, and a self-destructive twenty-something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys - she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very questions she is bringing to Wendell. Taking place over one year, and beginning with the devastating event that lands her in Wendell's office, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone offers a rare and candid insight into a profession that is conventionally bound with rules and secrecy. Told with charm and compassion, vulnerability and humour, it's also the story of an incredible relationship between two therapists, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious inner lives, as well as our power to transform them.
