Resumen del Editor
From the New York Times best-selling author of How to Be a Woman and Moranthology comes a collection of Caitlin Moran's award-winning London Times columns that takes a clever, hilarious look at celebrities, society, and the wacky world we live in today - including three major new pieces exclusive to this book.
When Caitlin Moran sat down to choose her favorite pieces for her new book, she realized that they all shared a common theme - the same old problems and the same old asshats. Then she thought of the word Moranifesto, and she knew what she had to do....
Introducing every piece and weaving her writing together into a brilliant, seamless narrative - just as she did in Moranthology - Caitlin combines the best of her recent columns with lots of new writing unique to this book as she offers a characteristically fun and witty look at the news, celebrity culture, and society. Featuring strong and important pieces on poverty, the media, and class, Moranifesto also focuses on how socially engaged we've become as a society.
And, of course, Caitlin is never afraid to address the big issues, such as Benedict Cumberbatch and duffel coats. Who else but Caitlin Moran - a true modern Renaissance woman - could deal with topics as pressing and diverse as the beauty of musicals, affordable housing, Daft Punk, and why the Internet is like a drunken toddler?
Covering everything from Hillary Clinton to UTIs, Caitlin's manifesto is an engaging and mischievous rallying call for our times.

Historia
A hilarious, heartfelt sequel to How to Build a Girl, the breakout novel from feminist sensation Caitlin Moran who the New York Times called, "rowdy and fearless... sloppy, big-hearted and alive in all the right ways." You can’t have your best friend be famous if you’re not famous. It doesn’t work. You’re emotional pen-friends. You can send each other letters - but you’re not doing anything together. You live in different countries.

It's exhausting being Irish. The constant self-flagellation is enough to put anybody off their breakfast. Why are we so hard on ourselves? Is it the postcolonial overhang following centuries of oppression at the hands of a litany of foreign invaders? Or is it collective guilt for sending Westlife out into the wider world? In Surviving Ireland, acclaimed comedy writer Colm Tobin takes the listener by the hand for a satirical romp through modern Irish life.

In a strange world where Rose McGowan was continually on display, stardom soon became a personal nightmare of constant exposure and sexualization. Rose escaped into the world of her mind, something she had done as a child, and into high-profile relationships. Every detail of her personal life became public, and the realities of an inherently sexist industry emerged with every script, role, public appearance, and magazine cover. The Hollywood machine packaged her as a sexualized bombshell, hijacking her image and identity and marketing them.

We may not realize it as we listen to the soundtrack of our lives through tiny earbuds, but music and all that it encompasses is disappearing all around us. In this fable-like story, three musicians from around the world are mysteriously summoned to Nashville, the Music City, to join together with Victor to do battle against the "Phasers", whose blinking "music-cancelling" headphones silence and destroy all musical sound. Only by coming together, connecting, and making the joyful sounds of immediate, "live" music can the world be restored to the power and spirit of music.

For more than a century, Dr. J. Marion Sims was hailed as the “father of modern gynecology.” He founded a hospital in New York City and had a profitable career treating gentry and royalty in Europe, becoming one of the world’s first celebrity surgeons. Statues were built in his honor, but he wasn’t the hero he had made himself appear to be. Sims’s greatest medical claim was the result of several years of experimental surgeries—without anesthesia—on a young enslaved woman known as Anarcha; his so-called cure for obstetric fistula forever altered the path of women’s health.

This is the origin story of the airwaves - the foundational technology of the communications age - as told through the 40-year friendship of an entrepreneurial industrialist and a brilliant inventor. David Sarnoff, the head of RCA and equal parts Steve Jobs, Jack Welch, and William Randolph Hearst, was the greatest supporter of his friend, Edwin Armstrong, developer of the first amplifier, the modern radio transmitter, and FM radio.

We may not realize it as we listen to the soundtrack of our lives through tiny earbuds, but music and all that it encompasses is disappearing all around us. In this fable-like story, three musicians from around the world are mysteriously summoned to Nashville, the Music City, to join together with Victor to do battle against the "Phasers", whose blinking "music-cancelling" headphones silence and destroy all musical sound. Only by coming together, connecting, and making the joyful sounds of immediate, "live" music can the world be restored to the power and spirit of music.

Fans of true crime shows like CSI, NCIS, Criminal Minds, and Law and Order know that when it comes to “getting the bad guy” behind bars, your best chance of success boils down to the strength of your evidence—and the forensic science used to obtain it. Beyond the silver screen, forensic science has been used for decades to help solve even the most tough-to-crack cases.

For more than a century, Dr. J. Marion Sims was hailed as the “father of modern gynecology.” He founded a hospital in New York City and had a profitable career treating gentry and royalty in Europe, becoming one of the world’s first celebrity surgeons. Statues were built in his honor, but he wasn’t the hero he had made himself appear to be. Sims’s greatest medical claim was the result of several years of experimental surgeries—without anesthesia—on a young enslaved woman known as Anarcha; his so-called cure for obstetric fistula forever altered the path of women’s health.

The local farmer and school board treasurer was educated, respected, and an accommodating neighbor and friend. But behind his ordinary demeanor was a narcissistic sadist seething with rage, resentment, and paranoia. On May 18 he detonated a set of rigged explosives with the sole purpose of destroying the school and everyone in it.

Historia
The author of the international bestseller How to Be a Woman returns with another “hilarious neo-feminist manifesto” (NPR) in which she reflects on parenting, middle-age, marriage, existential crises—and, of course, feminism. As timely as it is hysterically funny, this memoir/manifesto will have listeners laughing out loud, blinking back tears, and redefining their views on feminism and the patriarchy. More Than a Woman is a brutally honest, scathingly funny, and absolutely necessary take on the life of the modern woman—one that only Caitlin Moran can provide.

Science is how we understand the world. Yet failures in peer review and mistakes in statistics have rendered a shocking number of scientific studies useless—or, worse, badly misleading. Such errors have distorted our knowledge in fields as wide-ranging as medicine, physics, nutrition, education, genetics, economics, and the search for extraterrestrial life. As Science Fictions makes clear, the current system of research funding and publication not only fails to safeguard us from blunders but actively encourages bad science—with sometimes deadly consequences.

Eric R. Kandel, the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, is one of the pioneers of modern brain science. His work continues to shape our understanding of how learning and memory work and to break down age-old barriers between the sciences and the arts. In his seminal new audiobook, The Disordered Mind, Kandel draws on a lifetime of pathbreaking research and the work of many other leading neuroscientists to take us on an unusual tour of the brain. He confronts one of the most difficult questions we face: How does our mind, our individual sense of self, emerge from the physical matter of the brain?

For millennia humans have tried - and often failed - to master nature and transcend our limits. But this has started to change. The new scientific frontier is the human body: the greatest engineers of our generation have turned their sights inward, and their work is beginning to revolutionize mankind. In The Body Builders, Adam Piore takes us on a fascinating journey into the field of bioengineering and paints a vivid portrait of the people at its center.

Egan explores why these values make for such an unstable and often unhealthy food culture and, paradoxically, why they also make America's cuisine so great.

Widely praised and winner of the 2023 Gilder Lehrman Lincoln Prize, this book illuminates why Lincoln’s unprecedented welcoming of African American men and women to the White House transformed the trajectory of race relations in the United States. From his 1862 meetings with Black Christian ministers, Lincoln began inviting African Americans of every background into his home, from ex-slaves from the Deep South to champions of abolitionism such as Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth.

High School is the revelatory and unique coming-of-age story of Sara and Tegan Quin, identical twins from Calgary, Alberta, who grew up at the height of grunge and rave culture in the '90s, well before they became the celebrated musicians and global LGBTQ icons we know today. While grappling with their identity and sexuality, often alone, they also faced academic meltdown, their parents’ divorce, and the looming pressure of what might come after high school. This is the origin story of Tegan and Sara.

Such a positive, funny voice in the world
I got Caitlin’s “How To Be a Woman” years ago and remember laughing a ton and relating to her so much. I’ve been on a heavy sci-fi kick and was looking for something lighter and more down-to-earth. This hits the spot.
Caitlin is a feminist that loves the world and is able to discuss our most depressing problems in a way that doesn’t bring you down. I love her outlook and incredible insight. I will listen to her again and again and gift this to my daughter someday.

Why?
Nothing against Ms. Neary at all, but why did Ms. Moran not narrate this? After the last two gut-busting, laugh til I cried audiobooks with the author's unique voice, this feels like less. Which is entirely unfair of me, but there we are once expectations have been set. Will give it a go and report back on it. UPDATE: If anyone other than the author had to read this, they chose a brilliant substitute for Ms. Moran. Ms. Neary is fantastic.

The author is such an innovative voice for women in the world today!
The author has written a bunch of things that I’d liked before, but as she gets older, she gets better. I believe that that what she says is true, and I recommend this book.

Full of witty "moranicisms"
Having read and loved both “How to Build a Woman” and “How to be a Girl” by Ms. Moran, I was excited when I saw this collection of her pieces from the Times of London, where she has been writing an Op-Ed column for many years. I enjoyed this book immensely, not only because it was full of witty “moranicisms” (my word—but Caitlin, go ahead and use it for your next book title if you want!) but more because of the wide range of topics covered. From pop culture subjects like David Bowie and 5:2 diets to world issues like Syrian refugees and the Charlie Hebdo massacre, her eloquence and passion shine through.
Some of my favorite pieces in the collection:
Part One “The Twenty-First Century, Where We Live” is mostly focused on pop culture. In the wonderfully silly “I Can’t Stop Listening to Get Lucky” Moran unabashedly describes being so hooked on a pop song that she listens to it literally hundreds times in a week. Weirdly, at the time I read this chapter, I was obsessively listening to the soundtrack for “La La Land” and trying to memorize the words to its opening song, “Another Day of Sun.” I didn’t count the number of times I listened, but it’s got to be close to 50 times and it’s still not out of my system. I hear it in the background of my mind as I am meditating. I caught it in the sound system at the mall the other day and stood there until the song was over. I just can’t get enough of it. In fact, I think I’ll boot it up right now and listen as I finish this review.
Part Two “The Feminisms” was chock-full of great passages, I really can’t pick just one as my favorite. As with her previous books, Moran is not afraid to say out loud things that are very seldom discussed, even today, such as menstruation, rape and abortion. And she is so good at writing about these things that more than once, I found myself silently weeping, feeling that she had touched a part of me that no one had touched before, a secret female place that I knew existed but had not dared expose. Moran not only dares to expose, she blows hurricane-force gales of fresh air into the darkest corners of the lives of women and says, it does not have to be like this. We can change this. And with someone like Moran leading the charge, maybe things will change.
Part Three “The Future” deals primarily with serious political issues but also touches on other topics. The piece from this section that I found the most thought-provoking was “The Poor are Clever.” Drawing on her own upbringing in government-subsidized, low-income housing, Moran points out the many ways in which people living in poverty are, in fact, much more resourceful and ingenious than are those of us living a middle-or upper-middle class life. The many ways in which we look down on and blame people living in poverty as less intelligent, less ambitious and less deserving was never more clear to me than after reading this piece.
[I listened to this as an audiobook performed by Joanna Neary, who did an excellent job. I would highly recommend the audio version, it enhances Ms. Moran’s lets-sit-down-in-a-pub-and chat style.]
