Reviews book: THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "This is your happy hour with Amy Schumer... It's Bossypants meets Trainwreck meets your long weekend." —TheSkimm “Amy’s got your back. She’s in your corner. She’s an honesty bomb. And she’s coming for you.” —Actress Tilda Swinton and Trainwreck co-star The Emmy Award-winning and Tony-nominated comedian, actress, writer, and star of Inside Amy Schumer and the acclaimed films Trainwreck and I Feel Pretty has taken the entertainment world by storm with her winning blend of smart, satirical humor. Now, Amy Schumer has written a refreshingly candid and uproariously funny collection of (extremely) personal and observational essays. Ranging from the raucous to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing, this highly entertaining and universally appealing collection is the literary equivalent of a night out with your best friend—an unforgettable and fun adventure that you wish could last forever. Whether she’s experiencing lust-at-first-sight while in the airport security line, sharing her own views on love and marriage, admitting to being an introvert, or discovering her cross-fit instructor’s secret bad habit, Amy Schumer proves to be a bighearted, brave, and thoughtful storyteller that will leave you nodding your head in recognition, laughing out loud, and sobbing uncontrollably—but only because it’s over.
Reviews book: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Amy wrote a book. It’s not her autobiography, but rather a collection of stories about her life and her experiences. She wants to share her mistakes and pain with the world, but not wisdom or advice. #2 I’m sorry for the time I had sex with my new boyfriend and couldn’t find the condom afterward. I realize that sometimes I let people in you without a condom, but I’ve done my best to keep you healthy. #3 I’ve never had a one-night stand. I’m not afraid to write that, because I know for a fact that no one who lives in Fayetteville or Tampa has ever read a book.
Reviews book: Amy Schumer, född 1981 i New York, slog igenom 2015 och är idag den hetaste komikern i USA. Tv-serien Inside Amy Schumer (som visats här på TV 3) där sketcher blandas med ståuppnummer och intervjuer är flerfaldigt prisbelönad, och hon rosas för sin roll i filmen Trainwreck som hon också skrivit manus till. 2015 utnämndes hon av Times till en av de 100 mest inflytelserika människorna i världen. Hennes sylvassa feministiska humor rör sig kring sex, kön, relationer, normer, kroppsideal, kvinnoförakt, mansvälde och – inte minst – underliv. Nu kommer hon också med en mångskiftande samling självbiografiska essäer. Ur sitt förflutna fiskar hon upp historier om allt som skapat henne till den hon är – en kvinna som vågar blottlägga både kropp och själ för att stå upp för det hon tror på, och som får oss alla att skratta. Och hon vill inte enbart roa eller provocera, här finns också det mörka: föräldrarnas sviktande ekonomi under hennes barndom, faderns snabba insjuknande i ms, den hårda kritik och rena dödshot hon fått utstå på vägen mot berömmelse, förhållandet med en våldsbenägen man som hon för sent kunde släppa taget om … Under en visning i Louisiana av filmen Trainwreck sköts två unga kvinnor till döds i biografen och flera skadades. Det chockade Amy som sedan dess arbetar för hårdare vapenlagar. Boken är dedicerad till de två kvinnorna. Amy Schumer sammanfattar sin livsvisdom redan i bokens förord. ”Jag vet vad som är viktigt för mig, och det är min familj … Och att skratta och njuta av livet med mina vänner. Och, förstås, att ha en orgasm då och då. Jag har kommit fram till att en gång om dagen är det bästa.” Amy Schumer kommer till Stockholm i augusti för att uppträda med en show på Hovet. ”Jag har förändrats så mycket sedan jag var en självsäker, lycklig tjej i high school. Under de år som gått har jag upplevt mycket desperation och dåligt självförtroende, men på sätt och vis har jag gått varvet runt. Jag vet mitt värde. Jag omfamnar min makt. Jag vågar säga att jag är vacker. Att jag är stark. Du bestämmer inte min historia. Det gör jag. Jag ska tala och dela med mig och knulla och älska, och jag kommer aldrig att be om ursäkt för det.” Amy Schumer ”Jag har kämpat mig fram genom hård kritik och dödshot, och jag lever. Jag är orädd. För det mesta.” Amy Schumer ”Patriarkatet har ännu massor av mörka hörn att blottlägga och unkna könsroller behöver ständigt vädras. Vilket Schumer är en mästare på.” Sylvia Balac, Aftonbladet bloggar Översättare: Hjalmar Manfred Svensson
Reviews book: Why read a book about Amy Schumer and philosophy? After all, Amy Schumer is primarily known as a comedian, though she is also an actor, writer, and producer. One reason is that it will be enlightening. Amy Schumer is one of a handful of contemporary comedians filling the role of public philosopher. To be clear, Amy herself does not claim to be offering wisdom. This volume contains seventeen fun-filled chapters. One author makes the case that Amy uses humor to encourage her audience to consider important questions, for example, she does this when she discusses the trial of Bill Cosby while evoking fond memories of The Cosby Show. She essentially asks her audience to consider whether they give priority to unconflicted entertainment over justice for rape victims. In another chapter, the author casts a philosophical eye toward the action-comedy film Snatched and finds that it raises questions about responsibility: Is Schumer’s character, Emily, responsible for getting kidnapped in Ecuador? Is Emily responsible for the death of one of her kidnappers? Another author asks whether Snatched can be a great comedy and still get negative reviews? What is the role of art and who determines whether a work of art is good or beautiful? What do Amy Schumer and Friedrich Nietzsche have in common? Is Amy a “sex comic” or an “issue comic”? With her typical self-deprecating comedic style, Amy makes jokes by highlighting the absurd, the illogical, and the hypocritical in gender relations, notions of masculinity and femininity, and superficial values. But the main reason to read Amy Schumer and Philosophy is that it a pretty awesome read and laughter will most definitely ensue.

While Zuri works as a professor at Loyola University, Drake spends his days in Treme Coffeehouse, contemplating a sequel without a clue his world is about to be turned upside down.

But just as they learn that Zuris old Zimbabwean adversary has escaped from prison, Adam becomes a suspect in a murder. Now Drake is left to speculate if Adam is capable of killing, if the vengeful prisoner is guilty, or if a voodoo priest is responsible. As Drake, Zuri, and Gerard risk their lives in pursuit of the truth, bayous and beignets interweave with second lines and graveyards as a vampire lurks in the shadows. Will Drake ever find the killer? In this gripping mystery, a best-selling author transforms into an amateur sleuth intent on finding a murderer after a wild Halloween in New Orleans.

Reviews book: 'Full of heart.' Michael Harris, author of Solitude Being alone isn't something to endure - it's something to relish. ________ The average adult spends about a third of his or her waking time alone. Yet research suggests we aren't very good at using, never mind enjoying, alone time. Rising to the challenge, travel writer Stephanie Rosenbloom explores the joys and benefits of being alone in four mouth-watering journeys to the cities of Paris, Istanbul, Florence and New York, in four seasons. This is a book about the pleasures and benefits of savouring the moment, examining things closely, using all your senses to take in your surroundings, whether travelling to faraway places or walking the streets of your own city. Through on-the-ground observations and anecdotes, and drawing on the thinking of artists, writers and innovators who have cherished solitude, Alone Time illuminates the psychological arguments for alone time and lays bare the magic of going solo.
