Eigentlich will Issa diese Reise gar nicht antreten. Schwanger sitzt sie im Flugzeug nach Douala, angetrieben von ihrer Mutter, die bei der bevorstehenden Geburt um das Leben ihrer Tochter fürchtet. In Kamerun, dem Land ihrer Kindheit, soll sie den heilsamen Weg der Rituale gehen, unter den Adleraugen ihrer Omas. Doch so einfach ist das alles gar nicht, wenn man in Frankfurt zu Schwarz und in Buea zu Deutsch ist. Der Besuch wird für Issa eine Auseinandersetzung mit der eigenen Familiengeschichte und der Gewissheit, dass sowohl Traumata als auch der unbedingte Liebens- und Lebenswille vererbbar sind.

In a narrative that moves from Mexico to the United States and back, Sánchez Prado discusses the definition of the taco, the question of the tortilla and the taco shell, and the existence of the taco as a modern social touchstone that has been shaped by history and geography. Challenging the idea of centrality and authenticity, Sánchez Prado shows instead that the taco is a contemporary, transcultural food that has always been subject to transformation.

Michael and Barton Blink are back, and this time, their bounty takes them to, of all places, a town without a drop of alcohol for sale. The devil twins are here for a bounty that should be easy pickings, if they could just find a way to get a drink, first.

The Blank Twins, violent bounty hunters, hired usually for their particular ability to forget the “Alive” part of “Wanted: Dead or Alive”, lie in wait for a serial killer with 19 brutal rapes and murders to his name. Dark, violent, and strangely comic, the unforgettable and more than a little disturbing world of Alex Issa is sure to please. This thriller short story is one of many in the Devil Twins series.

In this dark but deeply satisfying story, Alex Issa explores the rights and obligations of men and women in world which has lost all rules. Can a woman refuse to give her body for the repopulation of the race? Is the extinction of mankind justification for rape?

From its opening sentence to its shocking conclusion, the story unfolds with the stark beauty that only Alex Issa can produce.

In this moving and bleak story of both untimely and timely ends, Alex Issa draws emotion effortlessly and powerfully with the very picture of bittersweet truth.

Here, two almost surreal short stories lead the listener through disturbing and somehow beautiful locations in the mind.

Michelle Obama's legacy transcends categorization. Mrs. Obama was not only our first black first lady; she was President Obama's equal partner in marriage and parenthood and a tireless advocate for women's rights, education, healthy eating, and exercise. Her genre-busting personal style encouraged others to speak, to engage, even to dress as they wished.
