Writing my autobiography has been a lifelong dream of mine upon realizing what my dream actually was at the age of 28 years old. I have endured a legacy of childhood trauma, love, endurance, survival, and happy endings. My story is no more special than the next, I just finally found my voice. I always knew I needed to share my journey in hopes of reaching someone, if not many, and inviting them onto the path of recovery, healing, love, and a promise of real hope. I have faced many demons and survived as well as been embraced by much acceptance and forgiveness. This Universe, God and our paths are what we make of it; we must not lose sight of our dreams. I am thankful if my book touches your life; you, we, us are not alone. You are loved and you do matter. Thank you for picking up my book and sticking with me to the end; I care.

[Dutch; Flemish] - De meisje

Als kind wil Idriss een meisje zijn. Dat zou alles oplossen, volgens hem. Hij zou jurken kunnen dragen, en hoge hakken. En hij zou gewoon verliefd mogen zijn op jongens. Elke avond bidt hij tot god om genezing. Elke morgen is alles nog altijd zoals het was. Op 20-jarige leeftijd trekt hij de deur achter zich dicht en stapt hij een nieuwe wereld in. Weg van huis, weg van God. Op zoek naar zichzelf.

[Spanish] - El pericazo sarniento: Selfie con cocaína

El pericazo sarniento es un ensayo personal, el relato sin contemplaciones de un adicto a la cocaína. Carlos Velázquez ha logrado contar su paso por el infierno con una prosa dura, directa. La mente del adicto es un misterio y Velázquez emprende ese viaje al fondo de la noche y él regresa con este poderoso libro de memorias. La droga es un paraíso artificial y un infierno real, ese reloj que marca la hora del placer cuando la coca entra al cuerpo, la desesperación por la ausencia de la grapa, la ansiedad de un nuevo pase, la aventura de la compra en barrios donde el adicto se juega la vida. No hay ironía sin melancolía, este es el péndulo en el que oscilan estas páginas magnéticas. Escritor de tonos altos y diversos registros prosísticos, Velázquez cuenta también el día en que Torreón se convirtió en la ciudad más violenta de México, la noche en que Los Zetas entraron a sangre y fuego para pelear ese territorio que le pertenecía a los socios del Chapo Guzmán. El pericazo sarniento es también el relato crudo de la Guerra del Narco en el Norte de México. Un escritor no debe detenerse ante ningún tema, su vocación última es el riesgo emocional. Así ejerce su libertad Velázquez en este relato único en nuestras letras: traer del más allá una muestra de las regiones oscuras de uno mismo, pero también un trozo de la vida misma. —Rafael Pérez Gay

The Unexpected Benefits of Being Run Over

In a pedestrian crosswalk on a quiet tree-lined street, Naseem is hit and then run over three times. Onlookers yell for the driver to stop as she hears her fate in her husband’s screams. Is he is watching the mother of his children die? Miraculously, she survives, yet she is no longer the person she worked so hard to be. Her “cracks”—the changes to her body and mind—initially feel impossible to accept. In learning to embrace this new, unrecognizable self, Naseem decides to celebrate the day she almost lost her life as the day she discovered her true strength—her Unbreakable Day. In this unique memoir, equal parts heart wrenching and inspiring, Naseem lays bare the reality of personal trauma—and how we each have the power to reimagine our lives and find beauty in being both broken and unbreakable.

Underwater Daughter: A Memoir of Survival and Healing

Tuni’s father began sexually abusing her when she was just four years old. Her mother, though aware of the abuse, was a silent witness—one either incapable or unwilling to intervene—and the abuse continued until Tuni was eleven. Three years later, when Tuni was fourteen, she was raped by an adult actor who was part of her cast in a professional theater production. These traumas would go on to shape much of her life. Underwater Daughter follows how Tuni grappled with her relationship with her parents, the aftermath of her rape, an eating disorder, drug and alcohol excesses, and shame as she came of age and began to build a life. In order to not lose her inner innocence, in order to protect herself, in order to believe in love, she began early on to create imaginary worlds into which she could escape—to use dreams to transport her away from her fears. By early adulthood, she was well practiced at slapping lipstick (pink, frosty, kiss-me, gloss-over, perfect lipstick) over whatever darkness might be bubbling beneath. Hired by a dance company right out of high school, she found success as a dancer in Chicago and New York, but in her personal and emotional life, she continued to struggle. Ultimately, it took her decades of dancing, hiding, faking, fucking, costuming, implanting, dissociating, marrying, divorcing, and purging—all while staying silent about her past trauma—before a bike accident at age fifty-five forced her to stop and truly take stock of her life. As she did, she came to a resting place, finally, in regard to her father; developed the loving relationship she’d always wanted with her mother; and came to understand that, in the end, love is all anyone wants—or needs.

[German] - Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam

Mit seiner historischen Hellsicht, dem Intellekt einer Herzensbildung und einem die Wissenschaft weit übersteigenden Einfühlungsvermögen, beleuchtet Zweig mit der Lebensbeschreibung des Erasmus wie in einem Brennglas einen Kulminationspunkt der Menschheitsgeschichte; eine historische Wegscheide, deren Auswirkungen bis heute unser Leben prägt. Eine ganz andere Möglichkeit der Reformation stellt er mit der Schilderung der Antipoden Erasmus von Rotterdam und Martin Luther vor. Aus Charakteren wie sie unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten, erwachsen völlig unterschiedliche Kulturen. Das Scheitern Erasmus, seine Schwäche als Tatmensch im entscheidenden Augenblick, rührt an unseren Traum einer humaneren Kultur und gewaltlosen Menschheitsgeschichte.

Stefan Zweig (Author), Axel Grube (Narrator)

As pessoas me perguntam como eu ainda estou vivo, e eu não sei o que dizer. Quando eu estava crescendo, se você me colocasse contra uma parede com os outros garotos da minha rua e me perguntasse qual de nós chegaria aos sessenta anos, com cinco filhos e quatro netos e casas em Buckinghamshire e Califórnia, eu não teria apostado dinheiro em mim – de jeito nenhum. Mas aqui estou eu: pronto para contar minha história, com minhas próprias palavras. Muito disso não vai ser bonito. Eu fiz algumas coisas ruins no meu tempo. Mas eu não sou o diabo. Sou apenas John Osbourne: um garoto da classe trabalhadora de Aston, que largou o emprego na fábrica e foi procurar diversão e criou uma banda chamada Black Sabbath. Diziam que eu nunca escreveria este livro. Bom, que se fodam — porque aqui está ele.
