XanderThere's something seriously wrong with me.For once, I'm not talking about the health anxiety that randomly pops up and wreaks havoc on my life. I'm talking about, well, everything else.All my roommates have found someone to love them, and it hurts to see the guys who used to have me at the center of their worlds pair off and grow up, especially when it's a reminder of how alone I've always been. I've always had an issue with relationships. With forming a connection with people outside of Seven, but this is more.Because I want to find my someone.Except the one person my brain has latched onto is the one person I can never have. The one person who's there to help me when my panic attacks get too much.Nurse Derek.DerekI should never have offered to treat Xander Moore.And now here I am years later, my life on hold, while I wait day in and day out for the call that Xander needs me. It always comes, and I always answer, but I'm starting to dread those visits.Lately, I'm looking at Xander in a way a medical professional should never look at their patient.When Xander starts volunteering at the same nursing home that I do, I get to see a new side of him. The artistic, charismatic side that draws the residents in. I get glimpses of a man who's so much more than his anxiety, and it does nothing to help my feelings for him.Lines begin to blur and I have no choice but to stop treating him. That at least allows us to be friends. The only problem is, being friends isn't enough for either of us.It's wrong, unethical, and unprofessional, but my heart won't listen. It's decided on Xander, and it doesn't want to wait. Neither does Xander.But if I want to keep my job, I have to resist.I just wish he didn't make that so difficult.

Diese Vielstimmigkeit, komprimiert auf wenige Tage Handlungsverlauf, sorgt für eine Lektüre von hoher Intensität. Nah an der nicht nur österreichischen Realität wirken die Perspektiven aus dem und auf das Gesundheitssystem, die die Autorin kunstvoll miteinander verknüpft.' (Guido Graf, Deutschlandfunk Kultur)

'Diese Odyssee ist ein kleiner Lichtblick in dunklen Zeiten, die einen besser aufbaut als so manches Selbsthilfebuch.'Elle Alice ist auf der Suche. Sie ist ein junges Mädchen, aber, so ihre Mutter an ihrem letzten Geburtstag, jetzt kein Kind mehr. Und Alice stellt sich Fragen. Die Frage etwa, wie wir leben sollen. Da fällt sie eines Tages wie die gleichnamige Heldin aus Lewis Carrolls Roman in einen Kaninchenbau und gelangt so zwar nicht ins Wunderland, aber doch in das wunderbare Land der Ideen. Mit ihren Gefährten bereist sie es vom Okzident bis in den Orient und ins ferne Asien, von der Antike bis in unsere Gegenwart. Sie trifft Sokrates auf dem Markt in Athen, Buddha in einem Boot auf einem grenzenlosen See, frühstückt mit Kant in Königsberg und lässt sich von Louise Dupin über die Gleichheit von Mann und Frau unterrichten. An der Seite ihrer Freunde entdeckt Alice die großen Ideen der großen Philosoph:innen und lernt, dass sie uns noch heute Kompass und Wegweiser sein können.  

Fleabag meets Big Swiss in this visceral, darkly hilarious, and surprisingly moving debut novel about a charismatic misfit who livestreams herself for seven straight days to raise money for her comatose sister's life support'Propulsive, witty and deranged - I couldn't put it down. If you're a fan of My Year of Rest and Relaxation, you will love this book.' Nussaibah Younis, author of Fundamentally'Fans of Melissa Broder, Rufi Thorpe and Ottessa Moshfegh will laugh, cringe, empathise, and be mesmerised by the spectacle of one woman's attempt to solve all her financial and emotional problems in the most adventurous, public and high-stakes way possible. Just Watch Me is addictive and propulsive.' Emily Gould, author of Perfect TunesDell Danvers is barely keeping it together. She's behind on rent for her bathroom-less studio apartment (formerly a walk-in closet), she's being plagued by perpetual, spiking stomach pain, and her younger sister, Daisy, is in a coma at a hospital that wants to pull the plug. Freshly unemployed and subsisting on selling plant propagations to trust fund kids, Dell impulsively starts a 24-hour livestream under the username mademoiselle_dell to fundraise $14,000 for a week of private life support for Daisy.<BR><BR>In the dungeon of her stream, Dell is in control, banishing those who don't abide by her terms of engagement and steadily rising up the platform's ranks with her sympathetic story and angry-funny screen presence. On a dare, she discovers that she has a talent for eating spicy food, and her streaming fame explodes as her pepper consumption graduates from jalapeño to habanero to ghost. Finally, Dell is good at something-but as her behavior becomes riskier and riskier and a troll-turned-incel threatens to expose her dark past, Dell must reckon with what her digital life ignores, and what real redemption means.<BR><BR>Narrated in seven taut chapters, one for each day of Dell's livestream, Just Watch Me careens us through a nonstop week in the life of this charismatic misfit with a heart of gold. Voyeuristic and visceral, audacious and outrageous, Lior Torenberg's debut is both an incisive, zippy tragicomedy about the internet economy as well as a moving meditation on love, loss, and forgiveness.<BR>

Thomas Manns Jahrhundertroman - erstmals als Retroausgabe im Taschenbuch 'Ganz Europa stürzte mir in den Kopf ...', schrieb Susan Sontag über das für sie wichtigste Buch: Thomas Manns 'Zauberberg'. Ganz Europa - das ist im Roman die 'große Konfusion' an Ideologien, Überzeugungen und Positionen, die in einem Davoser Sanatorium unversöhnlich aufeinanderprallen, so dass man sich, komisch und tragisch zugleich, irgendwann nur noch Schlagworte an den Kopf wirft. Welcher große Roman der Weltliteratur bringt diese gereizte, gewaltbereite Stimmung, die uns hundert Jahre später wieder so bekannt vorkommt, eindringlicher zur Anschauung? Zugleich aber erzählt Thomas Mann auch davon, wie man der Gereiztheit und Gewalt womöglich entkommen könnte: indem man vielleicht wie die Hauptfigur Hans Castorp eher zuhört, als endlos zu reden. Und indem man nicht alles so furchtbar ernst nimmt wie all die Alphamänner dieser Welt.
