Every Man for Himself and God Against All

A Memoir

Werner Herzog

“[I]n the audiobook he explains his preference for presenting his own words. This audiobook will be of most interest to film buffs, but Herzog is such an interesting character and his adventures have been so dramatic that an interest in his movies is not necessary to enjoy it.”—AudioFile

Kismet

A Novel

Becky Chalsen

Read by Christine Lakin

“Chalsen’s debut captures the easygoing allure of a boozy weekend getaway on beachy Fire Island the way Elin Hilderbrand depicts Nantucket. A good pick for fans of Nancy Thayer and Jane L. Rosen.”—Booklist
