Now in paperback and featuring an interview with Ben Stiller; a guided group tour to concentration camps allows Stahl to confront personal and historical demons with both deep despair and savage humor IN SEPTEMBER 2016, JERRY STAHL was feeling nervous on the eve of a two-week trip across Poland and Germany. But it was not just the stops at Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and Dachau that gave him anxiety. It was the fact that he would be traveling with two dozen strangers, by bus. In a tour group. And he was not a tour-group kind of guy. The decision to visit Holocaust-world did not come easy. Stahl’s lifelong depression at an all-time high, his career and personal life at an all-time low, he had the idea to go on a trip where the despair he was feeling—out-of-control sadness, regret, and fear, not just for himself, but for the entire United States—would be appropriate. And where was despair more appropriate than the land of the Six Million? Seamlessly weaving global and personal history, through the lens of Stahl’s own bent perspective, Nein, Nein, Nein! stands out as a triumph of strange-o reporting, a tale that takes us from gang polkas to tourrash to the truly disturbing snack bar at Auschwitz. Strap in for a raw, surreal, and redemptively hilarious trip. Get on the bus.

Arguably the ugliest but most functional device in the human body—symbols of manliness, objects of ribald humor and obscenities, imparting sexual pleasure and ensuring the continuation of the human race—the testicles (or balls, eggs, bullocks, stones, nuts . . . whatever you’re inclined to call them) have been all but totally ignored in the writings of even internationally celebrated sex authorities. The Pleasures of Testicles exams these under-appreciated hallmarks of male sexuality from all angles. Entertaining, provocative, and hilarious, drawing on information from sources as diverse as ancient history and modern online chat groups, this book covers every possible aspect of pleasure relating to the testicles, from visual enhancements to the most shocking of intimate acts. If you’re ready for sexual adventure and education, or you’re just curious, The Pleasures of Testicles will give you a wealth of information . . . and plenty of ideas you can put into action to more thoroughly enjoy the amazing jewels that make the man.

Cynthia Kaplan takes us on a hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking journey through her unique, uncensored world—her bungled romantic encounters and unsung theatrical experiences; her gadget-obsessed father, her pill-popping therapist, and her eccentric grandmothers; her fearless husband, whom she engages in an ongoing battle over which of them is the most popular person in their apartment; and, of course, her vengeful, power-hungry one-year-old son. Kaplan's voice is a lot like the one in our heads—the one that most of us are only willing to listen to late at night . . . maybe while locked in a closet. What a relief it is that someone finally admits that she is afraid of nearly everything; that she is jealous even of people whose lives are on the verge of collapse; and that she has, at times, tried to pass for a gentile.

The Other Side of Mulholland is: "a frothy, fast-paced exploration of the dichotomies between the two distinct sections of Los Angeles: upper L.A. with 'all the glitz and the big houses and beautiful women and BMWs, and lower L.A., the suburbs 'too dull to be the subject of a TV show or a Joan Didion novel.'"-Washington Post The Other Side of Mulholland is: everything the image-makers of Los Angeles want to keep under wraps: the tract housing, the car dealerships, and the parents' place with its wet bar and kidney-shaped pool. The Other Side of Mulholland is: "a wise exploration of how, for many of us, family ties can not only bind, but gag."-Laura Zigman, author of Animal Husbandry The Other Side of Mulholland is: the cord that tethers twin brothers Perry and Tim Newman to their shared past when the present-with Perry a sleek television producer and Tim a lowly journalist-feels as competitive as Hollywood itself. The Other Side of Mulholland is:"a hugely readable debut by a terrific new voice in American fiction."-Jerry Stahl, author of Plainclothes Naked A Los Angeles Times Book Review Best Book of 2001
