Bringt die Liebe nicht in jeder von uns auch das schlechteste hervor?
Natalie will eigentlich nur den Richtigen finden. Den perfekten Mann, mit dem sie die glückliche Familie gründen kann, die sie nie hatte. Doch jedes Mal, wenn sie glaubt, ihn getroffen zu haben, wird sie enttäuscht. Ein weiterer Ex-Freund auf ihrer zu langen Liste. Doch dann lernt sie James kennen, und Natalie glaubt, endlich alles zu bekommen, was sie sich je gewünscht hat - bis James etwas herausfindet, das Natalie für immer verbergen wollte: Die Wahrheit über ihre drei Exes. Sie sind nicht einfach Männer, die Natalie verletzt, hintergangen und verlassen haben. Sie sind tot. Und jedes Mal war Natalie - noch so zufällig - in der Nähe. Dadurch wird James zur Gefahr . . . oder Natalie?
The Exes ist ein messerscharfer Thriller über weibliche Rache, die Suche nach Liebe und welche Abgründe in uns schlummern, wenn wir glauben, sie zu verlieren.

Mit Witz, Scharfsinn und anhand ganz konkreter Beispielsituationen analysieren die Content Creatorin Gina Hitsch und ihr Partner Martin Freres, warum Gespräche über Rassismus so schwierig sind und wie sie besser gelingen können - sei es auf Social Media, in Partnerschaften, im Job oder in der Familie.

Mit dem Mut, zu den eigenen Gefühlen zu stehen, und viel Empathie für das Gegenüber erzählen sie aus ihrem Leben und versuchen nebenbei die Exit-Strategie aus dem polarisierten Diskurs unserer Zeit zu finden.»Gina gelingt es, komplizierte Themen humoristisch zu verpacken. Dadurch schafft sie etwas Großes: Rassismuskritik für alle Menschen zugänglich zu machen. « Tara-Louise Wittwer

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Colson Whitehead, an exuberantly entertaining novel that brings 1980s New York to vivid, unforgettable life.
1981. New York City is beginning to emerge from financial ruin and decline, energized by rampant real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. Up in Harlem, successful business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture's Dealer of the Month. When the banks won't give his beloved wife, Elizabeth, a loan for her new travel agency, however, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with a legendary criminal mastermind.
1983. To some, Carney's friend and partner in crime Pepper is a stone-cold sociopath. To others, a top thief with questionable people skills. Either way, he's feeling his age in his troubled gut and his aching bones. When he takes on a bodyguard gig as a favor to Elizabeth, he's plunged into the alien territory of the East Village art and club scene. Luckily for him, whether you're uptown or down, everyone speaks the same language of violence - Pepper is a native speaker.
1986. Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie's death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie's son from the violent forces of the city. But coming out of retirement and teaming up with Pepper again will mean risking the safety and security he's spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right.
With his usual pitch-perfect prose, Whitehead paints a portrait of a city in transition, where shimmering skyscrapers rise to the heavens as displaced people huddle in abandoned tunnels below. In a dazzling display of protean imagination, Cool Machine roves all over the city, from Windows on the World to Sugar Hill, to show that in New York, and in the lives of Whitehead's vivid characters, it's what's below the surface that reveals the truth.

THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The renowned author returns with a timely book about his journeys to three sites of conflict - Dakar, South Carolina, and Palestine - exploring how the stories we tell, and the ones we don't, shape our realities.
'A politically-charged meditation on the power of stories' Guardian
***
Ta-Nehisi Coates originally set out to write a book about writing, but soon found himself grappling with deeper questions about the destructive myths that shape our world.
First we join Coates on his inaugural trip to Africa - a journey to Dakar, where he finds himself in two places at once: a modern city in Senegal and the ghost-haunted country of his imagination.
He then takes readers to Columbia, South Carolina, where he reports on the banning of his own work and the deep roots of a false and fiercely protected American mythology - visibly on display in its segregationist statues.
Finally in Palestine, Coates sees with devastating clarity the tragedy that grows in the clash between the stories we tell and reality on the ground.
Written at a dramatic moment in American and global history, this work from one of our most important writers is about the urgent need to embrace the liberating power of even the most difficult truths.
