DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe first flashes of a Jo’burg thunderstorm illuminate 26-year-old Tristan Hansen’s spectacular Maboneng loft and the riches it contains: gifts from his many clients, tokens of their appreciation. For Tristan is an angel of pleasure, an exclusive escort to Johannesburg’s rich and powerful women, and he is one of a kind. As to how the enigmatic Tristan was trained in the art of lovemaking his clients can only guess. He seldom speaks of those who helped him shake off the strictures of his conservative upbringing. Christina, his first love, and their story, set far off in the beautiful Italian town of Positano, he also keeps to himself. But how did Tristan end up here? Who were those women who taught him all he knows? And who is the mystery caller whose phone calls are filled with menacing silence? Toy Boy is consummate storyteller Leon van Nierop’s steamiest tale yet.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAfter her adventures being a Sugarbabe, Holly Hill decided to turn the tables and hire a toyboy who would do for her what she had done for her sugar daddies Toyboy sought by attractive, educated, 40-year-old woman who wants to explore the other side of an equation. I will pay a generous weekly allowance for regular visits to the home of an accomplished cook, confidante and lover. Whilst not essential; youth, humour, looks and intelligence will be well-regarded. . . . Anonymity will be assured. Holly Hill made a surprising discovery when she ran her ad for a toyboy—not only did she have many fewer applicants for the position than she'd had for a sugar daddy, but a lot of the "boys" who responded were lying about their age. As well as their relationship status. And, their height, weight, and physical attractiveness. So much for gorgeous young men willing to do her bidding! Just as her cause seems hopeless, a chance encounter sends her down a road she had never considered traveling. On her journey through self doubt and dismay at men in the modern world—not to mention questioning the principles she had developed during her sugarbabe days—she finds a wellspring of darkness within her that had been untapped for far too long. Her experiences challenge everything she once believed about her identity and, especially, her sexuality, taking her right to the edge.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKStill funny after two thousand years, the Roman playwright Plautus wrote around 200 B.C.E., a period when Rome was fighting neighbors on all fronts, including North Africa and the Near East. These three plays—originally written for a wartime audience of refugees, POWs, soldiers and veterans, exiles, immigrants, people newly enslaved in the wars, and citizens—tap into the mix of fear, loathing, and curiosity with which cultures, particularly Western and Eastern cultures, often view each other, always a productive source of comedy. These current, accessible, and accurate translations have replaced terms meaningful only to their original audience, such as references to Roman gods, with a hilarious, inspired sampling of American popular culture—from songs to movie stars to slang. Matching the original Latin line for line, this volume captures the full exuberance of Plautus's street language, bursting with puns, learned allusions, ethnic slurs, dirty jokes, and profanities, as it brings three rarely translated works—Weevil (Curculio), Iran Man (Persa), and Towelheads (Poenulus)—to a wide contemporary audience. Richlin's erudite introduction sets these plays within the context of the long history of East-West conflict and illuminates the role played by comedy and performance in imperialism and colonialism. She has also provided detailed and wide-ranging contextual introductions to the individual plays, as well as extensive notes, which, together with these superb and provocative translations, will bring Plautus alive for a new generation of readers and actors.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKObsessively neat Lily, a writer who writes about writers, is asked to interview the enigmatic Rita Boothe, journalist, photographer, self-styled culinary expert and wit. Sitting in Rita's living room, leafing through a book of photographs from the early seventies, Lily comes across a picture of an incandescently sexy young woman sitting in the back of a limousine swigging Jack Daniels. It is her mother, Mattie. Lily isn't shocked. She's envious. She wants to be like that--beautiful, exuberant. Mattie, though, is no longer the meltingly gorgeous creature she was. She and her husband scrape by and bicker. Upstairs in their neglected house, Grandpa flirts on the Internet. Marie, Lily's sister, is facing a custody suit. Rory, the brother, hates coming home--those endless catch-up conversations. Usually it is Lily, the dutiful daughter, who sorts out the family. She knows she's flawed, but boringly so. Now she wants to be flawed in an interesting way, to be a woman of wicked mystery and intrigue. Like the one in the photograph. SECRETS OF A FAMILY ALBUM is a beautifully written novel that explores the struggles and triumphs of one extraordinary family.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhy don't women tell jokes? Because we marry them. Devastatingly funny and more than a little outrageous, Kathy offers up advice (“if he wants breakfast in bed, tell him to sleep in the kitchen”), her inimitable insights into the battle of the sexes (“statistically, 100% of divorces begin with marriage”) and some scathing observations of the decidedly less fair sex (“all husbands think they're Gods. If only their wives weren't atheists”). Praise for Kathy Lette: 'Fabulous, fast-paced, funny & unapologetically female. Nobody does it better.' DEBORAH FRANCES-WHITE, THE GUILTY FEMINIST 'Deliciously rude and darkly funny, but with compassion and humanity at its heart. Read with relish.' NICOLE KIDMAN 'Kathy Lette can turn from raunchy farce to the most tender emotion in a trice.' STEPHEN FRY
