This isn’t a guide. It’s a record. Campus Confidential: The Unwritten Handbook is a short-form audio document that captures the unwritten rules, familiar figures, and overlooked dynamics of modern campus life. Presented under the name T. Knox, the work reflects a perspective that feels less like instruction and more like confirmation. It does not explain how institutions function. It assumes the listener already understands the system and instead outlines the patterns that shape it. The result is a concise, observational piece that sits somewhere between satire and social commentary.

Dans ce recueil du début du XXe siècle, Georges Fourest compose des contes vifs et malicieux où l’humour et la satire s’allient à une observation sociale aussi fine que piquante. D’une histoire à l’autre, les situations se dérobent, les points de vue se renversent, et la comédie humaine, tour à tour burlesque, ironique ou cruellement lucide, prend des reflets inattendus. Entre légèreté et mordant, ces textes courts épinglent travers, illusions et prétentions.

As Time Goes Bye-Bye... What happens when one of the world’s greatest superspies struggles with retirement? Officially, he’s dead, of course, but for 84-year-old Herbert Bigglesby, a quiet fadeout at Sunset View Senior Living Community is not going well. He feels like a prisoner, no one believes his stories, and his once-honored sixth sense for danger is now ridiculed as paranoid delusion.

This parody takes the dragon-riding, enemies-to-lovers tension and high-stakes brutality of the original and transforms it into a hilariously absurd adventure starring Vile Soreinbut and Xadence Marriott—two characters who seem designed specifically to challenge every trope they encounter.

Set in a garden in Tehran in the early 1940s, where three families live under the tyranny of a paranoid patriarch, My Uncle Napoleon is a rich, comic and brilliantly on-target send-up of Iranian society. The novel is, at its core, a love story. But the young narrator's delicate and pure love for his cousin Layli is constantly jeopardized by an unforgettable cast of family members and the hilarious mayhem of their intrigues and machinations. It is also a social satire, a lampooning of the widespread Iranian belief that foreigners are responsible for events that occurs in Iran.
