Bitch Goddess (Robert Rodi Essentials)
ISBN: 9781500615666 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Rodi's relentlessly acid satire of modern celebrity was a cult hit in 2002. Told entirely in the form of emails, interview transcripts, magazine articles, TV scripts, even Christmas cards, it's now back in print-and timelier (and funnier) than ever. Viola Chute, a seethingly ambitious actress who's graduated from Grade Z movies to network TV superstardom, hires failed novelist E. Manfred Harry to ghostwrite her (largely fictionalized) memoirs. Harry finds himself immersed in Viola's world of parties, planes, and paparazzi. But when he gets too close to discovering a real secret in her past,...

Edgar and Emma: A Novel After Jane Austen
ISBN: 9781539550051 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As a teenager, Jane Austen wrote "Edgar and Emma"-a withering satire on sentimental novels running four uproarious pages. Now Robert Rodi has taken the brief text of this early story and expanded it into a full-length novel in the mature Austen style. Here you'll find all the hallmarks of Austen's immortal masterworks: a witty heroine, a hesitant hero, a romantic rival, a charismatic cad, several indefatigable talkers, a shattering crisis, shocking secrets revealed, and moments of the highest hilarity. You'll also find some character types new to the extended Austensphere, including a...

Avery Overman's Adventures In Underbed
ISBN: 9781484947517 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Avery Overman has a very high temperature. In fact, his mom says he's "burning up" and makes him stay in bed in the middle of the day. Avery doesn't like being treated like a baby, but he has to admit he isn't feeling very good; he's dizzy and he's sweating a lot. When he accidentally falls out of his covers, he notices how much nicer it looks under the bed: darker, quieter, and cooler. So he shimmies beneath the box spring...and discovers that Underbed is actually a bigger place than he ever imagined-a strange world filled with cattle rustlers and mobsters and robots and alligators, and a...

The Sugarman Bootlegs (Hommages à Alfred)
ISBN: 9781492283669 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When two friends discover old video footage of an unknown saloon singer, they try to pass it off as bootlegs of a long-lost cabaret legend. But their prank backfires when the viral sensation takes on a vivid - and lethal - life of its own...and as its fame increases, so does the body count. Scaldingly funny, brutally unsentimental, nerve-shreddingly suspenseful - and featuring a mid-story switcheroo on par with Hitchcock's "Psycho" - THE SUGARMAN BOOTLEGS reads like the bastard child of "All About Eve" and "Frankenstein." It's a highly addictive cross-cultural mash-up as only Robert Rodi (FAG...

Drag Queen (Robert Rodi Essentials)
ISBN: 9781494810665 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A wildly irreverent satire of gender identity and family dynamics, Rodi's 1995 novel has been long out-of-print; now it returns, its NSFW hilarity as timely as ever - if not timelier.

Fag Hag (Robert Rodi Essentials)
ISBN: 9781469953168 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. An immediate cult sensation when it was first released in 1992, Fag Hag gave birth to a genre that later reached mainstream popularity in "Will and Grace." Long out of print, the novel finally returns to shock and delight a whole new generation. Natalie Stathis is a big, flamboyant girl with a big, obsessive crush on a gorgeous gay artist, Peter Leland. She's managed to become his best friend and constant companion, and gleefully uses her influence over him to poison every one of his budding romances-on the principle that when he's run through all the men in town, it'll finally be her turn....

Now, however, he's thirty-one, and suddenly aware that his situation may have a shelf life.

But there's even worse in store for Marcus when Baby is born. He's never seen anything more horrifying than this scarlet, steaming, shrieking lump of raw greed and unchecked will, with yellow eyes and fingernails like teeth....

Bitch In a Bonnet: Reclaiming Jane Austen from the Stiffs, the Snobs, the Simps and the Saps
ISBN: 9781469922652 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 420 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Novelist Rodi (Fag Hag, The Sugarman Bootlegs) launches a broadside against the depiction of Jane Austen as a "a woman's writer ... quaint and darling, doe-eyed and demure, parochial if not pastoral, and dizzily, swooningly romantic - the inventor and mother goddess of 'chick lit.'" Instead he sees her as "a sly subversive, a clear-eyed social Darwinist, and the most unsparing satirist of her century." In this volume, which collects and amplifies two-and-a-half years' worth of blog entries, he combs through the first three novels in Austen's canon - Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice,...

Lionel Frank is a workaholic account executive at an upscale advertising agency, in charge of the uber-masculine All-Pro Power Tools account.

When continued...

Too Much Tuscan Sun: Confessions of a Chianti Tour Guide
ISBN: 9780762736706 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the past several years, "the American in Tuscany" has become a literary subgenre. Launched by the phenomenal success of Frances Mayes's Under the Tuscan Sun, bookstores now burgeon with nimble, witty accounts of this clash in cultures-Americans trying to do American things in Italy and bumping against a brick wall of tradition. Before this subgenre exhausts itself, it's only fair that we hear the other side of the story-that of a native Tuscan and of dozens of Americans who have stormed through his life and homeland, determined to find in it whatever they are looking for, whether...
