Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. If you loved Hidden Figures or The Rise of the Rocket Girls, you'll love Claire Evans' breakthrough book on the women who brought you the internet--written out of history, until now."This is a radically important, timely work," says Miranda July, filmmaker and author of The First Bad Man.The history of the internet is more than just alpha nerds, brogrammers, and male garage-to-riches billionaires. Female visionaries have always been at the vanguard of technology and innovation.In fact, women turn up at the very beginning of every important wave in technology. They may have been hidden in plain sight, their inventions and contributions touching our lives in ways we don't even realize, but they have always been part of the story.In a world where tech companies are still male-dominated and women are often dissuaded from STEM careers, Broad Band shines a much-needed light on the bright minds history forgot, from pioneering database poets, data wranglers, and hypertext dreamers to glass ceiling-shattering dot com-era entrepreneurs.Get to know Ada Lovelace, who wove the first computer program in 1842, and Grace Hopper, the tenacious mathematician who democratized computing after World War II. Meet Elizabeth "Jake" Feinler, the one-woman Google who kept the earliest version of the Internet online, and Stacy Horn, the New York cyberpunk who ran one of the world's earliest social networks out of her New York City apartment in the 1980s.Join the ranks of the pioneers who defied social convention to become leaders of the tech revolution. This electrifying corrective to tech history introduces us all to our long-overlooked tech mothers and grandmothers--showing us that if there's a "boy's club" that dominates Silicon Valley today, it's an anachronism. A breakthrough book on the women who brought you the internet and who were written out of history, until now. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Hardcover. "What's special about 'Cat Person, ' and the rest of the stories in You Know You Want This, is the author's expert control of language, character, story--her ability to write stories that feel told, and yet so unpretentious and accessible that we think they must be true." --The New York Times Book Review "Kristen Roupenian isn't just an uncannily great writer, she also knows things about the human psyche--things that I always supposed I would learn at some point, but never did. Some of these things are about men's minds in particular and I'm pretty sure she's right. The world has made a lot more sense since reading this book." --Miranda July, New York Times bestselling author of The First Bad Man "If you think you know what this collection will be like, you're wrong. These stories are sharp and perverse, dark and bizarre, unrelenting and utterly bananas. I love them so, so much." --Carmen Maria Machado, National Book Award Finalist and author of Her Body and Other Parties A compulsively readable collection of short stories that explore the complex--and often darkly funny--connections between gender, sex, and power across genres. You Know You Want This brilliantly explores the ways in which women are horrifying as much as it captures the horrors that are done to them. Among its pages are a couple who becomes obsessed with their friend hearing them have sex, then seeing them have sex.until they can't have sex without him; a ten-year-old whose birthday party takes a sinister turn when she wishes for "something mean"; a woman who finds a book of spells half hidden at the library and summons her heart's desire: a nameless, naked man; and a self-proclaimed "biter" who dreams of sneaking up behind and sinking her teeth into a green-eyed, long-haired, pink-cheeked coworker. Spanning a range of genres and topics--from the mundane to the murderous and supernatural--these are stories about sex and punishment, guilt and anger, the pleasure and terror of inflicting and experiencing pain. These stories fascinate and repel, revolt and arouse, scare and delight in equal measure. And, as a collection, they point a finger at you, daring you to feel uncomfortable--or worse, understood--as if to say, "You want this, right? You know you want this.".

Book First Edition
Condition: Wie neu. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 331 (5) Seiten. 20,8 cm. Umschlaggestaltung und Vorsatzpapier: Mike Mills. Sehr guter Zustand. Frisches Exemplar. Wie ungelesen. »Dieses Buch kann man unmöglich wieder aus der Hand legen.« Dave Eggers. Miranda July, Filmemacherin, Künstlerin, Autorin, sprengt nach ihrem spektakulären Erzählungsband »Zehn Wahrheiten« mit ihrem ersten Roman alle Erwartungen einen Roman wie diesen haben Sie noch nicht gelesen. Cheryl Glickman ist eine Mittvierzigerin mit System: Sie besitzt nur, was sie wirklich benötigt (z.B. einen Teller, eine Gabel, einen Löffel ) und bündelt ihre Energien maximal (»Wenn Sie schon ein Buch lesen müssen, dann tun Sie es doch gleich neben dem Bücherregal und halten den Finger in die Lücke, damit Sie es dann wieder zurückstellen können!«). Cheryl arbeitet bei einer Firma, die Selbstverteidigung zu Fitnesszwecken lehrt, sie ist seit Jahren verliebt in den 20 Jahre älteren Philipp (der wiederum eine 16-Jährige begehrt) und von dem Gedanken überzeugt, dass sie beide eigentlich seit Jahrtausenden ein Paar sind (Höhlenmann und Höhlenfrau). Als die Tochter ihrer Chefs bei ihr einzieht, wird ihre Ordnungs-Obsession gnadenlos zerstört: Clee, 20 Jahre alt, ist ein Messie, hat Schweißfüße und keinerlei Manieren. Und sie greift Cheryl körperlich an. Bald kämpfen die beiden nach Vorlage der alten Selbstverteidigungsvideos von Open Palm. Eine Choreografie, die Cheryl ganz neue körperliche Erfahrungen verschafft. Die beiden werden ein Paar, zumindest eine Art Paar, und als Clee schwanger wird, übernimmt Cheryl die Rolle ihres Lebens: Sie wird Mutter. Ein Roman, bei dem Sie laut lachen und gegen Ende glücklich lächeln und gleich wieder von vorn zu lesen anfangen werden. - Miranda July (* 15. Februar 1974 als Miranda Jennifer Grossinger in Barre, Washington County, Vermont) ist eine US-amerikanische Multimediakünstlerin. Sie ist Regisseurin, Drehbuchautorin, Schauspielerin, Schriftstellerin, Performancekünstlerin und Musikerin. Leben: July wurde in Barre, einer Stadt im Nordosten der USA, geboren. Ihre Eltern sind Lindy Hough und Richard Grossinger, beides Schriftsteller und waren Dozenten am dortigen Goddard College. Robert Grossinger ist Julys etwa fünf Jahre älterer Bruder. Die Familie, die July als typische d.i.y.-Familie" bezeichnet, zog bald nach Berkeley, Kalifornien, wo July aufwuchs. Die Eltern betreiben seit 1974 den Verlag North Atlantic Books, der Bücher über Spiritualität, Kampfkunst und alternative Heilkunde vertreibt. Laut eigener Aussage schrieb sie mit sechs Jahren ein erstes Buch, das sie Lost Child nannte und das bereits spätere Themen ihrer Arbeit andeutet. In dem Buch wird ein Mädchen von einer Stimme aus dem Haus gelotst, erlebt Abenteuer, landet im Gefängnis und muss von ihrem Vater gerettet werden. Mit sieben Jahren begann sie Tapes mit Gesprächsfragmenten zu besprechen, die sie beim Abspielen live zu Gesprächen" ergänzte. Seit dem Teenageralter ist Miranda Grossinger mit der späteren Musikerin Johanna Fateman (Le Tigre) befreundet. Zusammen mit Fateman gründete sie das Fanzine Snarla. Die beiden Mädchen schrieben in Geschichten wie Snarla in Love ihre Erfahrungen nieder. Snarla erschien in den 1990er-Jahren in sechs Ausgaben, verteilt über einen Zeitraum von drei bis vier Jahren. Vertrieben wurde das Fanzine von der Riot Grrrl Press. Im Alter von 16 Jahren wählte Grossinger den Künstlernamen July (eine Figur aus den Snarla-Geschichten) für die Präsentation ihres ersten Stücks The Lifers. Das Stück wurde in einem Punk-Club in Berkeley aufgeführt. Inspiriert wurde sie dazu durch die Brieffreundschaft mit einem inhaftierten Mörder, den sie auf eine Zeitungsannonce hin kontaktiert hatte. 1992 führte July ihre erste feministische Aktion aus. Sie fertigte ein Plakat an, das die wiederholten sexuellen Übergriffe in ihrer Schule anprangerte und setzte ihren Schuldirektor unter Druck, die Situation zu bereinigen. Sie bewirkte so, dass eine Gruppe queerer Aktivisten in die Schule eingeladen wurde, die die Schüler und Schülerinnen über Sexismus aufklärten und wie man sich vor Übergriffen schützen kann. Diese Erfahrung, politisch wirksam zu sein, bewog sie dazu, sich in der feministischen Riot-Grrrl-Bewegung zu engagieren. Miranda July brach im zweiten Studienjahr ihr Studium an der University of Santa Cruz ab. Inspiriert durch einen Freund aus der Highschool-Zeit, der ein Studium am Portland Reed College begann, zog July nach Portland, wo sie mit anderen jungen Frauen in einer Wohngemeinschaft lebte. Sie war Sängerin der Band The Need. Mit Radio Sloan, der Gitarristin von The Need, lebte Miranda July in dieser Zeit als Paar zusammen. Ebenfalls in dieser Zeit begann sie, Performances zu entwickeln und im Rahmen von Riot-Grrrl-Veranstaltungen aufzuführen. Seitdem ist sie mit der Musikerin und Schauspielerin Carrie Brownstein befreundet. Carrie Brownstein und Miranda July gründeten 2002 eine selbstorganisierte Schauspiel-Übungsgruppe in Portland. In den 90er Jahren knüpfte July Verbindungen zur Independent-Szene in Olympia und zur Portlander Film- und Video-Community, z. B. zu Harrell Fletcher und Matt McCormick, mit denen sie später zusammenarbeitete. Bis etwa 1997 sicherte July sich ihren Lebensunterhalt mit einem Job bei einem Schlüsseldienst für Autotüren, seitdem lebt sie von ihrer künstlerischen Arbeit. . Rezeption: Sie wird zu einer neuen Generation US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller gezählt, die sich vor allem auf das Genre der Kurzgeschichte spezialisiert haben. Im Jahre 2007 ist eine Sammlung ihrer Kurzgeschichten unter dem Titel No One Belongs Here More Than You erschienen, die bereits Anfang 2008 auch auf Deutsch vorlag. Der Spiegel Online-Rezensent nannte diese Sammlung das Aufregendste und Originellste seit Raymond Carver. July wird mit steigendem Bekanntheitsgrad als Ikone der Popkultur rezipiert. Sie erhält große Mengen Post von ihren Fans aus der ganzen Welt, die mittlerweile einen ganzen Raum ihres Büros füllt. In ihren Arbeiten kommt eine spielerische Leich.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. 'I can't think of a writer who is at once so formally daring and so rigorously uncompromising as Sarah Manguso' - Miranda July, author of The First Bad Man'No-one's there to watch her, so she just waits for the lights to turn on, waits to begin her performance.'No-one is watching Ruth. She, however, watches everyone and everything, and waits, growing up on the outskirts of an affluent but threadbare New England township, on the outer edge of popularity. She doesn't necessarily understand what she is seeing, but she records faithfully and with absolute clarity the unfurling of her awkward youth, under even more awkward parenting. As they alternately mock, ignore, undermine and discount their daughter, Ruth's parents present now as damaged, now as inadequate, now as monstrous. All the while the Future comes towards them all, steadily, inexorably, for some of them fatally. And the fog of the Past and the abuses committed under it gathers, swirls, settles, intermittently clears.Watching the future come, the reader of Very Cold People is immobilized, transfixed as much by the gross failures of the adults to be adults, as by the determinedly graceful arc Ruth's trajectory makes towards an adulthood of her own making. Acclaimed writer Sarah Manguso makes her fiction debut with an icy, furious novel about the way in which a society can ignore and enable the abuse of young women, narrated by the daughter of just such an abusive mother.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "If you haven't read this book yet--buy it, take it home, and read it now! This is the work that made me get off my ass and actually do something, and it will inspire you, too."--Kathleen Hanna, singer, Bikini Kill, Le Tigre and The Julie Ruin"I believe Karen Finley's un-careful rage was threatening because it is filled with grief, humor, and a profound passion for this life. Rereading it, I feel refreshed, as if I've been self-policing for years by tolerating boring, stupid things and now I'm free again. Thank you, Karen."--Miranda July, author of The First Bad Man"Shock Treatment is as timely and crucial as ever, inspiring feminist rage and wildness just as when it first blew my mind twenty-five years ago."--Michelle Tea, author of How to Grow Up"Karen Finley is an iconoclast who, ironically, became an icon when her work in Shock Treatment was targeted by right wing politicians. This important book is as necessary and vital today as it was twenty-years ago."--Sapphire, author of Push, among other works"Reading Shock Treatment today reminds me that Karen Finley has always been a writer of conscience. I remember seeing and hearing her read "The Black Sheep" off a piece of legal paper in the middle of a play at The Kitchen. No frills. She simply re-invented the poem."--Eileen Myles, author of Snowflake/different streets"How exciting for you, me, Karen, and the world--to have an occasion to revisit this period of powerful and earth-shaking work. Culture wars? Those bastards had no idea what they were up against."--Justin Vivian Bond, author of Tango: My Childhood, Backwards and in High Heels"Finleys Shock Treatment is more than just 'art.' It remains a searing and necessary indictment of America, a call to arms, a great protest against the injustices waged on queers and women during a time in recent American history where government intervention and recognition was so desperately needed. Twenty-five years on, Finleys work continues to shock and provoke readers and audiences, demonstrating the powerful cultural and political impact her work has had on modern American art and performance art."--Nathan Smith, Los Angeles Review of BooksNo other artist captures the drama and fragility of the AIDS era as Karen Finley does in her 1990 classic book Shock Treatment. "The Black Sheep," "We Keep Our Victims Ready," "I Was Never Expected to Be Talented,"--these are some of the seminal works which excoriated homophobia and misogyny at a time when artists and writers were under attack for challenging the status quo. This twenty-fifth anniversary expanded edition features a new introduction in which Finley reflects on publishing her first book as she became internationally known for being denied an NEA grant because of perceived obscenity in her work. She traces her journey from art school to burlesque gigs to the San Francisco North Beach literary scene. A new poem reminds us of Finley's disarming ability to respond to the era's most challenging issues with grace and humor.KAREN FINLEY's raw and transgressive performances have long provoked controversy and debate. She has appeared and exhibited her visual art, performances, and plays internationally. The author of many books including A Different Kind of Intimacy, George & Martha, and The Reality Shows, she is a professor at the Tisch School of Art and Public Policy at NYU. Expanded anniversary edition of this 1990 classic by Americas most provocative performance artist, as outrageous, insightful and relevant as ever.

Neuware - \*\*\*WINNER OF THE 2018 AUDIE AWARD FOR AUDIOBOOK OF THE YEAR\*\*\*The long-awaited first novel from the author of Tenth of December: a moving and original father-son story featuring none other than Abraham Lincoln, as well as an unforgettable cast of supporting characters, living and dead, historical and inventedFebruary 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln's beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. 'My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,' the president says at the time. 'God has called him home.' Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns, alone, to the crypt several times to hold his boy's body.From that seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a supernatural realm both hilarious and terrifying. Willie Lincoln finds himself in a strange purgatory where ghosts mingle, gripe, commiserate, quarrel, and enact bizarre acts of penance. Within this transitional state-called, in the Tibetan tradition, the bardo-a monumental struggle erupts over young Willie's soul.Lincoln in the Bardo is an astonishing feat of imagination and a bold step forward from one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. Formally daring, generous in spirit, deeply concerned with matters of the heart, it is a testament to fiction's ability to speak honestly and powerfully to the things that really matter to us. Saunders has invented a thrilling new form that deploys a kaleidoscopic, theatrical panorama of voices to ask a timeless, profound question: How do we live and love when we know that everything we love must end The 166-person full cast features award-winning actors and musicians, as well as a number of Saunders' family, friends, and members of his publishing team, including, in order of their appearance: Nick Offerman as HANS VOLLMAN David Sedaris as ROGER BEVINS III Carrie Brownstein as ISABELLE PERKINS George Saunders as THE REVEREND EVERLY THOMAS Miranda July as MRS.

ROSE MILLAND, and Cassandra Campbell as Your NarratorPraise for the audiobook'Lincoln in the Bardo' sets a new standard for cast recordings in its structure, in its performances, and in its boldness. Now, let's see who answers the challenge.' - Chicago Tribune 'Like the novel, the audiobook breaks new ground in what can be accomplished through a story. It helps that there's not a single bad note in the cast of a whopping 166 people. It's also the rare phenomenon of an audiobook being a completely different experience compared to the novel. Even if you've read the novel, the audiobook is worth a listen (and vice versa). The whole project pushes the narrative form forward.' - A.V. Club 'The result is an auditory experience unlike any other, where the awareness of individual voices disappears while the carefully calibrated soundscape summons a metaphysical masterpiece. This is a tour de force of audiobook production, and a dazzling realization of Saunders' unique authorial structure.'-Booklist 'The finished audiobook's tapestry of voices perfectly mirrors the novel.'-Entertainment WeeklyPraise for George Saunders 'No one writes more powerfully than George Saunders about the lost, the unlucky, the disenfranchised.'-Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times 'Saunders makes you feel as though you are reading fiction for the first time.'-Khaled Hosseini'Few people cut as hard or deep as Saunders does.'-Junot Díaz 'George Saunders is a complete original. There is no one better, no one more essential to our national sense of self and sanity.'-Dave Eggers 'Not since Twain has America produced a satirist this funny.'-Zadie Smith 'There is no one like him. He is an original-but everyone knows that.'-Lorrie Moore 'George Saunders makes the all-but-impossible look effortless. We're lucky to have him.'-Jonathan Franzen 'An astoundingly tuned voice-graceful, dark, authentic, and funny-telling just the kinds of stories we need to get us through these times.'-Thomas Pynchon.
