Matt Rife is well aware that he’s both the most loved and the most controversial comic in America today. And honestly, he thinks that’s your problem. In his very first book, Matt reveals without apology everything that led him to becoming comedy’s biggest lightning rod before he reached thirty, in a story full of bold and hysterical takes on everything from Justin Bieber tramp stamps and rap battles with ex-cons to Matt’s battles with depression and his many brushes with failure before finally hitting it big.

நான் பொய் சொல்லவில்லை. நிஜமாய்த்தான் கூறுகிறேன். நான் முன்தினம் காலில் அணிந்து அழகு பார்த்து, அன்று அணியலாம் என்று கழற்றி வைத்திருந்த எனது சாக்ஸில் ஒன்றைக் காணவில்லை. மக்கள் அடுத்த வேளைச் சாப்பாட்டிற்கும் குடிநீருக்கும் போராடிக் கொண்டிருக்கும் இந்த நிலையில் நான் என்னுடைய ஒற்றை சாக்ஸைப் பற்றிப் புலம்புவது கொஞ்சம் அநியாயமாய்த் தோன்றலாம். ஏன், என்னை நீங்கள் சுயநலவாதி என்று கூட நினைக்கலாம். ஆனால் நான் அதற்காகக் கவலைப்படும் ஆள் இல்லை. என் முழுக்கதையை கேளுங்கள். அந்த ஒற்றை சாக்ஸ் திரும்பக் கிடைப்பது எனக்கு எவ்வளவு முக்கியம் என்று உணர்வீர்கள்!

As a last resort, she pays a visit to a marriage therapist, Ms. Early, who Eliza quickly learns is a bit…alternative in her approach.

That someone might end up dead at the Palms School’s annual glamping trip in Santa Barbara wasn’t far-fetched. Taking city people into the woods was begging for murder. What was surprising was how far these mothers would go to cover it up.

Hace ahora justo veinte años, los Kinsella eran, en apariencia, una familia idílica y feliz. De un día para otro, el marido de Rachel vendió sin avisarle la casa en la que vivían y se llevó a los cinco niños al extranjero. Ella tardó un año en volver a verlos, y su pánico era tan intenso que se tambaleaba por la acera a medida que se acercaba a su encuentro.

Liv. Reese. Faith. Yes, they are plus-size, curvy, thick, whatever. Point is, they are past sick of society’s relentless body shaming defining them. Liv slays in dance classes, where she shakes off her frustrations as a struggling writer. Introverted Reese avoids “taking up too much space” by staying in the background as Liv’s sidekick. And while diva-cold professional dancer Faith aces countless auditions, she’s “too big” for starring roles. At the end of their respective ropes, all it takes is one more insult … for Liv to suddenly have an idea that will unite them all.

"El mejor trofeo de la vida es reírse". De ese modo pensaba Cantinflas, uno de los mejores cómicos del cine en el siglo XX. Un actor versátil dotado de una habilidad interpretativa extraordinaria y una genialidad sorprendente para seducir con su espíritu sarcástico y burlón.

Judith Lane, not-quite-beautiful but charmingly serious, is the young widow of the war hero Anthony Lane, and an editor at the successful if rather rakish publisher Hanescu Lane & Co. Ltd. But one evening she receives her first visit from Baldwin Reeves, who reveals that Anthony’s wartime adventures were not quite as glorious as the newspaper reports would have her believe. To protect Anthony’s family from the scandal, Judith reluctantly acquiesces to the repellent but attractive Reeves’s demands – but both blackmailer and blackmailee soon find themselves out of their depth.

Wow, You Look Terrible! is a beacon of hope to beleaguered parents across the globe.
