MY HUSBAND LOOKS BETTER IN LINGERIE THAN I DO … DAMN IT (THOMPSON, BOBBIE)

Bobbie Thompson, the supportive spouse of a transgender male-to-female, tells her side of their story in "My HUSBAND Looks Better in Lingerie Than I Do ... DAMN IT," in this companion memoir to "Hung in the Middle: A Journey of Gender Discovery," (www.hunginthemiddle.com) written by her spouse, Alana Nicole Sholar. After knowing 'him' for nearly 25 years, and even sharing a three-year intimate relationship in the mid-1990's, upon seeing 'her' for the first time in 2006, Bobbie was freaked out and didn't want to have anything to do with 'her.' Two years later, December 31, 2008, they were married. But marriage was only the beginning of this wild and wonderful ride they share called life. Often when Bobbie shares with others that her spouse is transgender she is asked, "Why in the world would you choose to be married to someone like that." "My HUSBAND Looks Better in Lingerie Than I Do ... DAMN IT" answers that question and further explains theirs is a happy marriage, although they face the same pitfalls faced in any marriage, such as financial difficulties, in addition to many situation

ESTO APRENDÍ (FIERRO (1936-), ALFREDO)

Que otros se gloríen en lo que han vivido, han viajado, han hecho; que se ufanen por las personalidades que han conocido, con quienes se han codeado; que se complazcan en los amores felices que gozaron o en los infelices que sufrieron. Yo me gloriaré en aquello que aprendí, lo que he aprendido año a año, a veces daño a daño . Ni siquiera me gloriaré por ello; lo declararé con sencillez, desde la alcanzada veteranía –no presumiré sabiduría–, por si a algún lector cómplice le vale de algo. Con esas intenciones aborda el autor unas memorias que nada tienen de convencionales: memorias de aprendizaje, de lecturas, de lo aprendido en la vida; y en las cuales se borra como personaje para dar paso a libros maestros, a las vicisitudes ideológicas propias y de una entera generación, a voces de alter ego en disidencia, anidadas en alguien resistente a tener o ser un ego

LAS CUATRO PUERTAS (BUSCÀ FONT, MARC)

Marc sufrió una larga depresión de la que no había escapatoria. Dos años de abandono que culminaron en un sueño. Un sueño que le enseñó el camino, que según avanza el conocimiento sobre él mismo y su entorno irá cambiando de mundos para finalmente descubrir el mayor de los secretos. Al despertar del sueño todo había cambiado: había hecho EL CAMBIO y todo su ser ansiaba encontrar la forma de demostrar al mundo quién era él en realidad, aunque solo fuera el comienzo. El lector descubrirá cuál fue ese sueño y la verdad olvidada, aunque solo sea el comienzo.

MEMÒRIES D’UN CARTELLISTA DEL 36 (FONTSERE CARRIÓ, CARLES)

L'esclat cartellista del juliol del 36 ha estat valorat de manera molt positiva per estudiosos i crítics d'arreu del món. Un dels cartells més coneguts, convertit gairebé en objecte de culte estètic, mostra un camperol empunyant la falç amb el braç enlaire i el lema "Llibertat!", amb el rerefons roig i negre de la bandera anarquista. L'autor, Carles Fontserè, tot just tenia vint anys quan es va comprometre amb la revolució, juntament amb els seus companys Alumà, Helios Gómez, Antoni Clavé i molts d'altres que apareixen al llarg d'aquestes pàgines.En les seves magnífiques memòries, més artístiques, polítiques i col·lectives que no pas íntimes, Fontserè recull l'ambient carlista familiar i el de la petita burgesia benpensant, però també la seva experiència en el requetè de Barcelona, el seu posterior compromís amb l'anarquisme llibertari, el Sindicat de Dibuixants, les Brigades Internacionals, el dramàtic pas de la frontera amb Lluís Companys, Josep Tarradellas i Jaume Miravitlles, i finalment l'internament en un camp de concentració de França.
