In the span of four months in 2012, Tig Notaro was hospitalized for
a debilitating intestinal disease called C. diff, her mother
unexpectedly died, she went through a breakup, and then she was
diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer. Hit with this devastating
barrage, Tig took her grief onstage. Days after receiving her
cancer diagnosis, she broke new comedic ground, opening an
unvarnished set with the words: 'Good evening. Hello. I have
cancer. How are you? Hi, how are you? Is everybody having a good
time? I have cancer.' The set instantly went viral, and was
ultimately released as Tig's sophomore album, Live, which sold one
hundred thousand units in just six weeks and was later nominated
for a Grammy. Now, the wildly popular star takes stock of that no
good, very bad year - a difficult yet astonishing period in which
tragedy turned into absurdity and despair transformed into joy. An
inspired combination of the deadpan silliness of her comedy and the
open-hearted vulnerability that has emerged in the wake of that
dire time, I'm Just a Person is a moving and often hilarious look
at this very brave, very funny woman's journey into the darkness
and her thrilling return from it.

"Those who dismiss Brecht as a yea-sayer to Stalinism are advised
to read these journals and moderate their opinion." (Paul Bailey,
Weekend Telegraph) Brecht's "Work Journals" cover the period from
1938 to 1955, the years of exile in Denmark, Sweden, Finland and
America, and his return via Switzerland to East Berlin. His
criticisms of the work of other writers and intellectuals are
perceptive and polemic, and the accounts of his own writing
practice provide insight into the creation of his dramatic works of
the period, the development of his political thinking and his
theories about epic theatre. Also integrated into the journals are
Brecht's immediate reactions to and commentary upon the events of
the period: his political exile's view of the course of World War
II and his account of the House Un-American Activities committee."A
marvellous, motley collage of political ideas, domestic detail,
artistic debate, poems, photographs and cuttings from newspapers
and magazines, assembled, undoubtedly for posterity by one of the
great writers of the century" (New Statesman and Society)

A vital companion for actors in rehearsal - a thesaurus of
action-words to revitalise performance Actors need actions. They
cannot 'act' adjectives, they need verbs: they need an aim to
achieve, an action to perform. 'Actions' are active verbs. 'I tempt
you.' 'You taunt me.' In order to perform an action truthfully and
therefore convincingly, an actor needs to find exactly the right
action to suit that particular situation and that particular line.
That is where this book comes in...It is a thesaurus of active
verbs, with which the actor can refine the action-word until s/he
hits exactly the right one to help make the action come alive. It
looks like this: taunt insult, tease, torment, provoke, ridicule,
mock, poke, needle tempt influence, attract, entice, cajole, coax,
seduce, lure, fascinate It is well known in the acting community
that random lists of action-words circulate rehearsal rooms in
dog-eared photocopies - as a sort of actor's crib. This book makes
them available for the first time in an organised and comprehensive
form.
11 Oak Street is the true story of how the Queen's bankers, Coutts
& Co, sent two cashier's cheques to the law firm of Urie Walsh
in San Francisco with the wrong address on the envelope (11 Oak
Street instead of 1111 Oak Street), setting off a chain of events
that led to the abduction of a three-year-old child from Bristol,
England, to San Francisco, California. It is a horrifying story of
greed, ineptness, corruption, stupidity and wasted years as the
father tries to seek justice and access to his son in the midst of
a thirteen-year nightmare that even Kafka could not have thought
up. If you want to read about the seven California lawyers involved
in this story who either went to jail, were disbarred, or resigned
with charges pending, and inept judges who broke all the rules or
were disciplined, this is the book for you. This is a story that
would never have happened if those concerned had fulfilled their
duties correctly and not broken the law. If Graham Cook, the
author, had known then what he knows now, there would have been no
story and he would not have gone bankrupt, become homeless or,
through the actions of his own brother, ended up in a California
jail. This is the book the California Judges Association refused to
let the author promote to its members, since it reveals in detail
the judicial abuse by some of their past and present members whose
conduct will shock and disgust any right- minded person. The best
way to describe this book is that everything that could go wrong
went and if the internet was around at the start of the nightmare
most of what went on in this book would not have happened.This is a
book where certain people have gone to extraordinary lengths to
stop people buying and have dismally failed in their objective.
