Two sociologists infiltrate a cult from which madness might be the only escape Once the nation’s most popular sociologist, Tom McMann has fallen out of style lately. Desperate for a last shot at relevance, he targets the Truth Seekers, an up-and-coming cult that seems destined for the big time. An irresistible mixture of New Age cranks and sci-fi nerds, they are ruled over by Verena, a beautiful young telepath who believes she has a hotline to another planet. The Seekers are isolated, committed, and eccentric, but most importantly, they’re hiring. Assisted by his wide-eyed young colleague, Roger Zimmern, McMann infiltrates the Truth Seekers, hoping to see how the zealots respond if questioned by someone within their midst. But when Verena’s babblings start to make a little too much sense, the researchers must choose between losing their minds and buying one-way tickets to outer space. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Alison Lurie including rare images from the author’s collection.

Dieses Verlangen wird András ein ganzes Leben lang begleiten und in die Arme zahlloser Frauen führen, immer auf der Suche nach den Geheimnissen der Liebe, des Eros und des Glücks.

Als Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts unter dem East River der erste Tunnel entsteht, der Brooklyn mit Manhattan verbindet, ahnt niemand, dass viele Jahrzehnte später Menschen in dem unterirdischen Labyrinth leben werden.

In Praise of Older Women is as singular as a lemon tree or a giraffe or a ripe pear. In a voice free of vanity and subterfuge, the writer tells a story of the worst of times, and the ever-shifting truths about girls and youths, men and women and their sexual connections — and mis-connections — in a way that is always luminous and enlightening.
