Exposing the many lies told on and off the psychoanalyst's couch, Lying on the Couch gives listeners a tantalizing, almost illicit glimpse at what their therapists might really be thinking during their sessions.

Der französische Schriftsteller und Literaturnobelpreisträger Albert Camus hat seinen ersten Roman "Der glückliche Tod" sein Leben lang geheim gehalten. Im Herbst 1938 soll er mit 25 Jahren das Manuskript in einen Koffer eingeschlossen haben. Vollendet hat er es nie. Der Held dieses posthum veröffentlichten Romans ist der Büroangestellte Mersault, der durch einen Mord an so viel Geld kommt, dass er die Zeit nach seinen persönlichen Vorlieben gestalten und seinen nahenden Tod als einen glücklichen erwarten kann. Heiner Schmidt liest Albert Camus' Erstlingswerk atmosphärisch dicht.

Defense Mech by Ray Bradbury is a haunting and psychologically rich science fiction short story that explores the fragile boundary between reality and illusion. Set during a tense voyage from Earth to Mars, the narrative follows Halloway, a deeply anxious man whose terror of space threatens both his sanity and the mission itself.

High in a subsidized studio apartment, the unnamed 82-year-old narrator of Elegy in Blue looks out across the rooftops of Brooklyn all the way to the sea. His distinguished career on Wall Street is in ruins, his mansion in Brooklyn Heights has been burned to the ground, and most of all, his father, his son, and his wife―the stunningly beautiful and equally kind Clare―have been taken from him, one by one, over the decades, by war and an act of violence. Now his “allegiance is to his ghosts.” He’s almost lost to memory, reflection, and a purposeful letting go of life.

In The Quantity Theory of Morality, Will Self’s unconventional new novel, his pen remains dipped in vitriol and elegance as ever. In this dark yet hilariously satirical “state-of-an-era novel,” Self’s target is a collective morality that is nothing more or less than pure sociability. His middle-class, middle-English characters appear trapped in a timeless go-round of polite chitchat in dinner parties that refract like a hall of mirrors as the novel progresses, until one day someone says something to the effect of, “This way to the gas chamber, please, ladies and gentlemen.”
