In this first scholarly biography of Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965), the author of A Raisin in the Sun, theater professor Soyica Diggs Colbert considers the playwright's life at the intersection of art and politics, with the theater operating as a "rehearsal room for [her] political and intellectual work". Colbert argues that the success of Raisin overshadows Hansberry's other contributions, including the writer's innovative journalism and lesser-known plays touching on controversial issues such as slavery, interracial communities, and Black freedom movements.

In Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Jenny Lawson regaled fans with uproarious stories of her bizarre childhood.

And terrible ideas are what Jenny does best.

I 1994 rejste Niels Bach til Rusland, og i en periode boede han hos kunstneren Svetlana i Sankt Petersborg. Svetlana var enke og mor til tre små piger. Hun boede i en lille lejlighed og måtte hver dag kæmpe hårdt for at få pengene til at slå til, skaffe mad til børnene og få adgang til at ytre sig kunstnerisk i et ufrit samfund. Under besøget hos Svetlana, oplevede Niels Bach de ufattelige levevilkår i Rusland under Boris Jeltsins styre på nært hold. Bogen er også et portræt af en fascinerende og modig kvinde, der trods trængsler holder hovedet højt.
