In this extraordinary memoir, a father tells the story of how music has opened up the world to his son, one song at a time. Obsessed with music since he was a child, John Harris had no idea that he was in fact preparing himself for the greatest challenge of his life. But so it transpired. When his son James was born, and three years later diagnosed with autism, music became a source of precious connection and endless wonder for both of them. Maybe I'm Amazed describes how the music of The Beatles, Kraftwerk, Funkadelic, The Velvet Underground, Amy Winehouse and many more were soon woven into the fabric of James's life, becoming an essential part of who he is. It takes us through the struggles of raising an autistic child in a prejudiced world, and uncovers a hidden history of neurodivergence and creativity that casts new light on why notes, chords and lyrics speak so powerfully to the human mind. Anyone who has fallen in love with a band or heard their life reflected back to them by a song will recognise themselves in the story of this father and his son. And in considering the intense and transcendent way James absorbs and connects with music, it has lessons in listening and living for us all.

The author of the international bestseller How to Be a Woman returns with another "hilarious neo-feminist manifesto" (NPR), reflecting on parenting, middle age, marriage, existential crises, and feminism. Caitlin Moran's previous work offered a humorous and resonant exploration of feminism and womanhood, chronicling her journey from a challenging adolescence through various life experiences. Since then, the cultural landscape has evolved, with positive shifts for young women, yet middle-aged women still grapple with pressing questions: Can feminists have Botox? Why isn't there a "Mum Bod"? Why do hangovers hurt more? Is camel-toe the new erogenous zone? Why do clothes seem to betray you? Has feminism gone too far? Will the To Do List ever end? And importantly, who is caring for the children? This memoir/manifesto is as timely as it is laugh-out-loud funny, prompting readers to rethink their perspectives on feminism and the patriarchy. It offers a brutally honest, scathingly funny, and essential examination of modern womanhood—one that only Caitlin Moran can deliver.

The polite revolution starts here! Please."

Moran's rollicking second novel characteristically combines nonstop witticisms with razor-sharp, pointed, and timely cultural critique.... Her characters are madcap and lovable but nuanced enough to feel real. Publishers Weekly (starred review)

I can't really think of another writer who so consistently and bravely keeps thinking and talking and learning and trying to make the world better. --Caitlin Moran Smart and provocative, witty and uncompromising, this collection of Laurie Penny's celebrated essays establishes her as one of the most important and vibrant feminist voices of our time. From the shock of Donald Trump's election and the victories of the far right to online harassment and the transgender rights movement, this darkly humorous collection is an unflinching look at the definitive issues of our age. Penny is lyrical and passionate in her desire to confront injustice; she writes at the raw edge of the zeitgeist at a time when it has never been more vital to challenge social norms. This revelatory, revolutionary collection will give readers hope and tools for change from a bitch who wants to get stuff done.

Possibly the only drawback about the bestselling How To Be A Woman was that its author, Caitlin Moran, was limited to pretty much one subject: being a woman.In MORANTHOLOGY Caitlin 'gets quite chatty’ about many subjects, including cultural, social and political issues which are usually left to hot-shot wonks and not a woman who sometimes keeps a falafel in her handbag. These other subjects include...Caffeine | Ghostbusters | Being Poor | Twitter | Caravans | Obama | Wales | Paul McCartney | The Welfare State | Sherlock | David Cameron Looking Like Ham | Amy Winehouse | ‘The Big Society’ | Big Hair | Nutter-letters | Michael Jackson's funeral | Failed Nicknames | Wolverhampton | Squirrels’ Testicles | Sexy Tax | Binge-drinking | Chivalry | Rihanna’s Cardigan | Party Bags | Hot People| Transsexuals | The Gay Moon Landings

As any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is 'But what about MEN?' After eleven years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin Moran realised that this wasn't quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men.So, what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their wife or girlfriend makes them? Why do they never discuss their penises with each other - but make endless jokes about their balls? What is porn doing for young men? Is their fondness for super-skinny jeans leading to an epidemic of bad mental health? Are men allowed to be sad? Are men allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused 'power' with 'empowerment'? And is Jordan B Peterson just your mum - but with some mad theory about a lobster?In this book, Caitlin intends to answer all this and more - because if men haven't yet answered the question 'What About Men?', it's going to be down to a busy woman to do it.

Though they have the vote and the Pill and haven't been burned as witches since 1727, life isn't exactly a stroll down the catwalk for modern women. They are beset by uncertainties and questions: Why are they supposed to get Brazilians? Why do bras hurt? Why the incessant talk about babies? And do men secretly hate them? Caitlin Moran interweaves provocative observations on women's lives with laugh-out-loud funny scenes from her own, from the riot of adolescence to her development as a writer, wife, and mother. With rapier wit, Moran slices right to the truth—whether it's about the workplace, strip clubs, love, fat, abortion, popular entertainment, or children—to jump-start a new conversation about feminism. With humor, insight, and verve, How To Be a Woman lays bare the reasons why female rights and empowerment are essential issues not only for women today but also for society itself.

Part creative writing guide, part memoir, this is a handy, humorous guide to writing for television from the mind that brought you Brass Eye, Smack the Pony, Grumpy Old Men and Harry Hill's TV Burp.

Morag Narmo (15) hat keine Lust mehr auf Schule. Sie und ihre vier jüngeren Geschwister würden eher den Kopf in den Müllschlucker stecken, als sich weiter mit akademischen Inhalten zu quälen. Die fünf sind dann allerdings doch über alle Maßen erstaunt und beglückt zugleich, als ihre Eltern sie tatsächlich aus der Schule nehmen und sich mit ihnen in das Abenteuer Home- Schooling stürzen. Aber mit fünf Kindern, zwei schwer erziehbaren Haustieren, einigen sehr exzentrischen Marotten und einem immerwährend gähnenden Loch in der Familienkasse entwickelt sich das Unternehmen unweigerlich zum Totalchaos.
