Book Description
Nearly eighty years after its release, the Marx Brothers film Duck Soup remains one of the most influential pieces of political satire in history. In Hail, Hail, Euphoria!, bestselling author Roy Blount Jr. tells the history and making of Duck Soup, examining the comedic genius of the Marx Brothers in their finest hour and nine minutes. In Duck Soup, a slim, agile, quick-witted, self-assured young man is summoned to save a nation from financial ruin. As the nation's new president, he brings together a team of rivals, a band of brothers. Those brothers are Pinky, Chicolini, and Lt. Bob Roland. Their leader? None other than Rufus T. Firefly. The humor and idiosyncratic wit of Duck Soup are saluted by the author's own in this gem of a book, offering a behind-the-scenes tale of show business and brotherhood that only a true Marx Brothers aficionado could tell.

Book Description
Once there was only a whisper – the legend of a being caught between life and death, a master of shadows who bore the secrets of forgotten magic. This legend was forgotten... until today. Reborn in iron armor and with a sword as cold as the grave, a new power has arisen, bound to a destiny as twisted as the dark magic that flows through his veins. But the world is no longer the same. Old empires have crumbled, gods have fallen silent, and humanity clings to survival under the shadow of cruel beasts and tyrants. In a realm full of ancient terrors, a lone warrior rises – a fragile spark in an endless storm, armed with cursed magic and an unbending will. Now a path of rebellion is forged through this unforgiving world. With every step, secrets come to light that would have been better left buried, and powers emerge that can hardly be restrained. Forged anew in the fire of revenge, unstoppable and implacable, this new champion marches toward an uncertain destiny. This world has not yet known true darkness – but that will soon change. Welcome to the edge of the unknown.

Book Description
The groundbreaking story of the National Women’s Football League, and the players whose spirit, rivalries, and tenacity changed the legacy of women’s sports forever. In 1967, a Cleveland promoter recruited a group of women to compete as a traveling football troupe. It was conceived as a gimmick—in the vein of the Harlem Globetrotters—but the women who signed up really wanted to play. And they were determined to win. Hail Mary chronicles the highs and lows of the National Women’s Football League, which took root in nineteen cities across the US over the course of two decades. Drawing on new interviews with former players from the Detroit Demons, the Toledo Troopers, the LA Dandelions, and more, Hail Mary brings us into the stadiums where they broke records, the small-town lesbian bars where they were recruited, and the backrooms where the league was formed, championed, and eventually shuttered. In an era of vibrant second wave feminism and Title IX activism, the athletes of the National Women’s Football League were boisterous pioneers on and off the field: you’ll be rooting for them from start to finish.
