The Steps [Bok / Häftad]

<b>A celebration of Tim Curry's life's work - including the iconic Dr. Frank-N-Further in The Rocky Horror Picture Show - and a testament to his profound impact on the entertainment industry as we know it today.</b><br/><br/>There are few stars in Hollywood today that can boast the kind of resume Emmy award-winning actor Tim Curry has built over the past five decades. From his breakout role as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show to his iconic depiction as the sadistic clown Pennywise in It to his critically acclaimed role as the original King Arthur in both the Broadway and West End versions of Spamalot, Curry redefined what it meant to be a "character actor," potraying heroes and villains alike with complexity, nuance, and a genuine understanding of human darkness. He's had dozens of roles across movies, TV shows, and musicals; lent his instantly recognizable voice to dozens of voice roles, audiobooks, and videogames; and he's changed the lives of countless fans in the process.<br/><br/>Now, in his memoir, Curry takes readers behind-the-scenes of his rise to fame from his early beginnings as a military BRAT with difficult family dynamics, to his formative years in boarding school and university, to the moment when he hit the stage for the first time. He goes in-depth about what it was like to work on some of the most emblematic works of the 20th century, constantly switching between a camera and a live audience. He also explores the voicework that defined his later career and provided him with a chance to pivot after surviving a catastrophic stroke in 2012 that nearly took his life.<br/><br/>With the upcoming 50th anniversary of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the 40th anniversary of Clue, there's never been a better time for Tim to share his story with the world.

<b>A bold and brilliant short work by the author of the Goldsmiths Prize-winning <i>Cuddy</i></b><br/><br/><b>November, 1971. Berlin, Germany. Opening night. </b><br/><br/>Klaus Kinski, Germany's most controversial actor, steps into the spotlight to a crowd of thousands.<br/><br/>After years of making movies abroad, he has returned to the stage for a much-publicized one-man performance about Jesus Christ. As the crowd turn on him and violence is threatened, it is also very nearly his last. After this week, he will never perform on stage again.<br/><br/>Exactly fifty years later, a hypochondriac writer, housebound by winter snowstorms, becomes fixated with video footage of Kinski at his most manic.<br/><br/>In this forensic analysis, he strays into the darker corners of modern culture, and finally begins to understand the compulsive urge that drives artists to the edge of sanity in their pursuit of perfection.<br/><br/><b><i>Jesus Christ Kinski</i> is a novel about a film about a performance about Jesus. It is a daring act of literary ventriloquism, a meditation on censorship, creativity, loneliness - and just how far our tolerance is tested by bad people who make great art.<br/></b><br/><b>Praise for Benjamin Myers</b><br/><b>'One of our finest, and most deftly imaginative, writers' <i>i news </i></b><br/><b>'Radical and gorgeous' Max Porter</b><br/><b>'A writer of extraordinary and incandescent talent' Alex Preston</b>

<b>** PRE-ORDER THE SEQUEL <i>I WANT TO DIE BUT I STILL WANT TO EAT TTEOKBOKKI NOW **</i></b><br/><br/><b>THE PHENOMENAL INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER | </b><b>TRANSLATED BY INTERNATIONAL BOOKER SHORTLISTEE ANTON HUR</b><br/><br/><b>'Will strike a chord with anyone who feels that their public life is at odds with how they really feel inside.' </b><i>Red</i><br/><i><br/>PSYCHIATRIST: So how can I help you?</i><br/> <i><br/> ME: I don't know, I'm - what's the word - depressed? Do I have to go into detail?</i><br/><br/> Baek Sehee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her - what to call it? - depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends; adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting, overwhelming, and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can't be normal.<br/><br/>But if she's so hopeless, why can she always summon a desire for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like?<br/><br/> Recording her conversations with her psychiatrist over 12 weeks, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Part memoir, part self-help book, <i>I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki </i>is a book to keep close and to reach for in times of darkness.<br/><br/><b><i>I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki</i> comes in three different colours; the colour you receive will be chosen at random</b>

<b>Beautifully illustrated with more than 200 photographs, including never-before-seen images, <i>The Look</i> is a stunning journey through Michelle Obama's style evolution, in her own words for the first time.</b><br/><br/>In this celebration of style, from the moment she entered the public eye during her husband's U.S. Senate campaign through her time as the first Black First Lady of the United States and today as one of the country's most influential figures, Michelle Obama shares how she uses the beauty and intrigue of fashion to draw attention to her message.<br/><br/>Featuring the voices of Meredith Koop, Obama's trusted stylist, as well as her makeup artist Carl Ray, hairstylists Yene Damtew and Njeri Radway, and many of the designers who have dressed Obama for notable events, <i>The Look </i>brings readers behind the scenes not only to reveal how her most memorable looks came together but also to tell a powerful story about how we present ourselves.<br/><br/>Obama's intimate and candid stories illuminate how her approach to dressing has evolved throughout her life - from the colourful sheath dresses, cardigans, and brooches she wore during her time as First Lady to the bold suits, denim, and braids of her post-White House life and all the active looks and beautiful gowns in between.<br/><br/>In <i>The Look</i>, Michelle Obama explores the joy and the purpose of fashion and beauty and how - when wielded with grace and care - they can uplift and affirm the values one holds most dear. Confidence, she concludes, cannot be put on. But when you're wearing something that's intentional or beloved, clothing can make you feel like the best version of yourself.
