Stakkelsbær er en personlig fortælling om de små og de helt store tab: om døde kæledyr, om mistede kærester og venner, om overgreb. Om at finde selv sig og sin seksualitet, om arrene, både de synlige og usynlige. Det er råt og sårbart, hårdt og blødt. "Vi er så stolte af dig, siger lægen, psykologen, hospitalet, fysioterapeuten, samfundet, landet og familien, alle vil holde mine hænder. Jeg går ellers gennem krattet med hyben, i havet råber de og fægter med armene, fædre holder fast på deres børn når de rider hen over bølgerne, alle skal se hvor lykkeligt det hele kan gå op, børn, som er ældre og selv må gå hen til grillen, står med deres syntetiske skateboard og sammenligner skrammer som man ellers aldrig må det på psykiatrisk. Jeg er snart hel. Du hentede mig på stationen og sagde du havde savnet mig, jeg sagde også noget."Tomas Lagermand Lundme (f. 1973), opvokset på Amager. Debuterede i 1998 med romanen Forhud. Har skrevet en lang række bøger for børn, unge og voksne, teaterdramatik og manuskripter til hørespil, tegneserier, dokudramaer, film og tv-serier og arbejder også som billedkunstner. Lundmes fortællinger kredser tit om hans egen hovedstol, hvor han skriver om seksualitet, smerte og afmagt.

Dorothy Parker’s complete weekly New Yorker column about books and people and the rigors of reviewing.When, in 1927, Dorothy Parker became a book critic for the New Yorker, she was already a legendary wit, a much-quoted member of the Algonquin Round Table, and an arbiter of literary taste. In the year that she spent as a weekly reviewer, under the rubric “Constant Reader,” she created what is still the most entertaining book column ever written. Parker’s hot takes have lost none of their heat, whether she’s taking aim at the evangelist Aimee Semple MacPherson (“She can go on like that for hours. Can, hell—does”), praising Hemingway’s latest collection (“He discards detail with magnificent lavishness”), or dissenting from the Tao of Pooh (“And it is that word ‘hummy,’ my darlings, that marks the first place in The House at Pooh Corner at which Tonstant Weader Fwowed up”). Introduced with characteristic wit and sympathy by Sloane Crosley, Constant Reader gathers the complete weekly New Yorker reviews that Parker published from October 1927 through November 1928, with gimlet-eyed appreciations of the high and low, from Isadora Duncan to Al Smith, Charles Lindbergh to Little Orphan Annie, Mussolini to Emily Post
