[Spanish] - ¿Y los hombres qué? Audiobook

"Un retrato perspicaz y atrevido de la masculinidad contemporánea. Cualquier feminista que haya dialogado ante el público sobre las frustraciones y los lastres innatos a la aventura de ser mujer habrá tenido que enfrentarse alguna vez a la pregunta: «¿Y los hombres qué?». Y si la feminista en cuestión lleva años intentando convencer a ese público de que las preocupaciones de ambos sexos son cosas muy distintas, su respuesta automática, muy probablemente, habrá sido algo como: «¿Por qué me sacan este tema? ¡Yo soy feminista! ¡Mi especialidad son las mujeres! No me ocupo de… los otros». Sin embargo, ante la insistencia de quienes reclaman desde hace años sacar a la palestra el universo masculino, Caitlin Moran ha decidido adentrarse en él de una vez por todas para tratar de analizar sus rasgos particulares, desentrañar el origen de nuestras concepciones establecidas sobre lo que «debería» ser un hombre y decidir si ha llegado el momento de cambiarlas: «En este libro hay cosas que he observado sobre los hombres que quiero compartir con ellos. Hay aspectos de los hombres que quiero conocer. Y también hay muchos chistes sobre pollas y huevos porque, reconozcámoslo, son graciosos. […] A menudo pienso que las cosas divertidas y ridículas son las más importantes. Ahí es donde suele empezar todo: lo bueno y lo malo». Con la misma perspicacia, lucidez y desvergüenza con las que ha venido abordando el universo femenino, Caitlin Moran se cuestiona ahora sobre la condición masculina, sus problemas, costumbres y preocupaciones. A medio camino entre la encuesta sociológica, un documental a lo David Attenborough y el chascarrillo, los capítulos de este libro abordan la forma de comunicarse de los hombres, entre ellos y con las mujeres, su idea de la amistad, la relación que tienen con sus cuerpos y con la ropa, su visión del sexo (¡y la pornografía!) y cómo se enfrentan a la paternidad, la madurez, la enfermedad y, finalmente, la vejez. Señoras y señores, atentos porque Caitlin Moran ha venido a cuestionar los efectos nocivos del patriarcado sobre, ¡sí!, los hombres, y el resultado les sorprenderá."

What About Men?

"Brought to you by Penguin. As any feminist who talks about the problems of girls and women will know, the first question you will ever be asked is 'But what about MEN?' After eleven years of writing bestsellers about women and dismissing this question, having been very sure that the concerns of feminism and men are very different things, Caitlin Moran realised that this wasn't quite right, and that the problems of feminism are also the problems of, yes, men. So, what about men? Why do they only go to the doctor if their wife or girlfriend makes them? Why do they never discuss their penises with each other - but make endless jokes about their balls? What is porn doing for young men? Is their fondness for super-skinny jeans leading to an epidemic of bad mental health? Are men allowed to be sad? Are men allowed to lose? Have Men's Rights Activists confused 'power' with 'empowerment'? And is Jordan B Peterson just your mum - but with some mad theory about a lobster? In this book, Caitlin intends to answer all this and more - because if men haven't yet answered the question 'What About Men?', it's going to be down to a busy woman to do it. 'A must-read eye-opener that makes you laugh, cry, get angry and get happy on every page. It's magnificent' Bob Mortimer 'I fall passionately in love with absolutely every single thing Caitlin Moran writes - and I've fallen very hard for this book... Eye-opener, page-turner, women-translator, guy-empowerer - put like that, I hope you'll agree it's incredibly reasonably priced' Marina Hyde 'Our greatest modern writer on women turns her eyes on men - and it's all good' David Baddiel ©2023 Caitlin Moran (P)2023 Penguin Audio"

[Spanish] - Más que una mujer

"La continuación del ya clásico Cómo ser mujer: Caitlin Moran nos cuenta qué es ser una cuarentona y no morir en el intento. ¿Quién dijo que convertirse en una mujer de mediana edad iba a ser una tarea fácil? Caitlin Moran, que arrasó con aquel tronchante y lúcido manifiesto de feminismo asilvestrado titulado Cómo ser mujer, regresa con una secuela que desmonta la teoría de que segundas partes nunca fueron buenas, dada la espectacularidad de esta. Si en la anterior entrega hablaba la joven Caitlin, aquí es la cuarentona la que vuelve a la carga. Ahora las experiencias vitales son otras y han cambiado algunas prioridades y puntos de vista, pero la pluma con la que escribe sigue afiladísima. A mitad de camino entre la crónica personal, el manifiesto hilarante y la guía para hacerse mayor sin morir en el intento, este libro, ordenado siguiendo las horas de un día cualquiera, aborda temas como la tiranía de las listas de tareas pendientes; el sexo conyugal en las parejas con hijos y el denominado Polvo de Mantenimiento; las dudas sobre si una feminista puede ponerse bótox; las posturas de yoga para relajarse; la flaccidez del cuerpo cuando nos plantamos ante el espejo; las malditas tareas domésticas; las diferencias entre hombres y mujeres en los procesos y tiempos para excitarse sexualmente; cómo lidiar con las crisis de las hijas adolescentes (incluidos los trastornos alimentarios y las tentativas de suicidio); cómo lidiar con los achaques de unos padres ancianos... El volumen incluye una gloriosa lista de objetos inútiles que una acumula en casa pese a saber que jamás los va a volver a utilizar (desde una máquina para hacer pasta hasta unas medias de rejilla) y culmina con una apoteósica versión en femenino del famoso poema de Kipling «Si». En tiempos propensos a los dogmas de fe, la corrección política y la autocensura, es maravilloso comprobar que la Caitlin Moran de mediana edad sigue tan procaz, ingeniosa, aguda, feroz, inteligente y lúcida como siempre, con su feminismo grouchomarxista funcionando a toda máquina. «Maravillosamente divertida, la tronchante y emotiva continuación de Cómo ser mujer explora las espinosas realidades de la mediana edad» (Fiona Sturges, The Guardian). «Algunos capítulos son sumamente divertidos y otros abordan temas duros... Los lectores encontrarán consuelo y humor en las francas y muy sinceras reflexiones de Moran» (Publishers Weekly). «Examina la mediana edad, el papel de madre, el sexo y, por supuesto, el feminismo con el ingenio marca de la casa de Moran» (The Evening Standard). «Hilarante, irreverente... El humor y la rabia siguen presentes, pero también la humildad y la alegría de vivir» (Lorraine Berry, Los Angeles Times). «Tiene momentos descacharrantes... Un libro ferozmente honesto» (Sarah Ditum, The Times). «Ojalá hubiera leído este libro hace cuarenta años. Pero más vale tarde que nunca. Tenéis que leerlo» (Hugh Laurie). «Adoro, admiro e incluso diría que soy adicta a los libros de Caitlin Moran» (Nigella Lawson)."

More Than a Woman

"Brought to you by Penguin. A decade ago, Caitlin Moran thought she had it all figured out. Her instant bestseller How to Be a Woman was a game-changing take on feminism, the patriarchy, and the general ‘hoo-ha’ of becoming a woman. Back then, she firmly believed ‘the difficult bit’ was over, and her forties were going to be a doddle. If only she had known: when middle age arrives, a whole new bunch of tough questions need answering. Why isn’t there such a thing as a ‘Mum Bod’? How did sex get boring? What are men really thinking? Where did all that stuff in the kitchen drawers come from? Can feminists have Botox? Why has wine turned against you? How can you tell the difference between a Teenage Micro-Breakdown, and The Real Thing? Has feminism gone too far? And, as always, WHO’S LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN? Now with ageing parents, teenage daughters, a bigger bum and a To-Do list without end, Caitlin Moran is back with More Than A Woman: a guide to growing older, a manifesto for change, and a celebration of all those middle-aged women who keep the world turning. © Caitlin Moran 2020 (P) Penguin Audio 2020"

How to be Famous

"Random House presents the audiobook edition of How to be Famous by Caitlin Moran, read by Louise Brealey. Life is always better backstage, isn't it? A funny, riotous novel about a young women making it in a world where men hold all the power from the Sunday Times bestselling author of HOW TO BUILD A GIRL I’m Johanna Morrigan, and I live in London in 1995, at the epicentre of Britpop. I might only be nineteen, but I’m wise enough to know that everyone around me is handling fame very, very badly. My unrequited love, John Kite, has scored an unexpected Number One album, then exploded into a Booze And Drugs HellTM – as rockstars do. And my new best friend – the maverick feminist Suzanne Banks, of The Branks – has amazing hair, but writer’s block and a rampant pill problem. So I’ve decided I should become a Fame Doctor. I’m going to use my new monthly column for The Face to write about every ridiculous, surreal, amazing aspect of a million people knowing your name. But when my two-night-stand with edgy comedian Jerry Sharp goes wrong, people start to know my name for all the wrong reasons. ‘He’s a vampire. He destroys bright young girls. Also, he’s a total dick’ Suzanne warned me. But by that point, I’d already had sex with him. Bad sex. Now I’m one of the girls he’s trying to destroy. He needs to be stopped. But how can one woman stop a bad, famous, powerful man?"

Moranifesto

"‘I’ve lived through ten iOS upgrades on my Mac – and that’s just something I use to muck about on Twitter. Surely capitalism is due an upgrade or two?’ When Caitlin Moran sat down to choose her favourite pieces for her new book she realised that they all seemed to join up. Turns out, it’s the same old problems and the same old ass-hats. Then she thought of the word ‘Moranifesto’, and she knew what she had to do… This is Caitlin’s engaging and amusing rallying call for our times. Combining the best of her recent columns with lots of new writing unique to this book, Caitlin deals with topics as pressing and diverse as 1980s swearing, benefits, boarding schools, and why the internet is like a drunken toddler. And whilst never afraid to address the big issues of the day – such as Benedict Cumberbatch and duffel coats – Caitlin also makes a passionate effort to understand our 21st century society and presents us with her ‘Moranifesto’ for making the world a better place. The polite revolution starts here! Please."

How to Build a Girl

"What do you do in your teenage years when you realise what your parents taught you wasn’t enough? You must go out and find books and poetry and pop songs and bad heroes - and build yourself. It’s 1990. Johanna Morrigan, 14, has shamed herself so badly on local TV that she decides that there’s no point in being Johanna anymore and reinvents herself as Dolly Wilde – fast-talking, hard-drinking Gothic hero and full-time Lady Sex Adventurer! She will save her poverty stricken Bohemian family by becoming a writer – like Jo in Little Women, or the Brontes - but without the dying young bit. By 16, she’s smoking cigarettes, getting drunk and working for a music paper. She’s writing pornographic letters to rock-stars, having all the kinds of sex with all the kinds of men, and eviscerating bands in reviews of 600 words or less. But what happens when Johanna realises she’s built Dolly with a fatal flaw? Is a box full of records, a wall full of posters and a head full of paperbacks, enough to build a girl after all? Imagine The Bell Jar written by Rizzo from Grease, with a soundtrack by My Bloody Valentine and Happy Mondays. As beautiful as it is funny, How To Build a Girl is a brilliant coming-of-age novel in DMs and ripped tights, that captures perfectly the terror and joy of trying to discover exactly who it is you are going to be."

How To Be a Woman

"It's a good time to be a woman: we have the vote and the Pill, and we haven't been burnt as witches since 1727. However, a few nagging questions do remain... Why are we supposed to get Brazilians? Should we use Botox? Do men secretly hate us? And why does everyone ask you when you're going to have a baby? Part memoir, part rant, Caitlin answers the questions that every modern woman is asking."
