Open Wide will quite literally get under your skin - a weird, electrifyingly original love story about the mad, troubling and vulnerable things we do to get close to others 'Will leave you questioning the boundaries we draw around those we love' CHELSEA BIEKER 'Unputdownable' MARIE-HELENE BERTINO 'Smart, unsettling, sexy and hilarious' CLARE BEAMS 'Obsessed' Mirror Olive is desperate to get close to Theo – really, really close. Despite being a radio host, she’s always struggled to connect with people. And now she’s in her thirties, single, and so flustered by relationships that she secretly records her conversations, hoping to decipher social clues and find a way to be less alone. Then Theo turns up for a shift at the food pantry where she volunteers. He’s a surgeon fascinated by human organs, a former football player, and possibly as weird as Olive. For the first time, someone seems to crave and understand her. Every recording Olive makes of Theo is a balm – which just makes her more afraid of losing him. The only solution seems to be to bind him to her forever. Luckily, the gap between Theo’s front teeth is just wide enough for something – or someone – to slip inside.

* INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * The debut cookbook from benny blanco—pop music super-producer, artist, actor on FXX’s Dave, and consummate food freak—teaches you everything you need to know about cooking, enjoying life, and throwing the greatest dinner party of all time. Hi, I’m benny blanco. I’m in a television show with my best friend Dave and I probably produced most of the songs you have heard on the radio from 2008 until now. When I was thirteen, my friend got a George Foreman Grill and it changed my life forever. We would invite friends over, get stoned, and make the most elaborate sandwiches our prepubescent minds could fathom. I became obsessed with food and cooking for friends. I know what you are going to say, and I get it. Cooking is scary. But I promise you, once you get into it, it will be your new addiction. Slicing an onion is like taking a Xanax to me. I made this cookbook to teach you everything I know about food, cooking, and throwing the greatest dinner party of all time. There are the basics to get your kitchen ready, a little advice from my expert friends, then all of the dinner party menus I love to make, like: 5 Dishes to Get You Laid and One for the Morning After I Wish I Were an Italian Grandma Take Me to the Cheesy Rodeo F*ck Morton’s Steakhouse Which are filled with insane recipes like: Lose Your Mind Lobster Rolls “I Might Go Vegetarian” Veggie Sandwich Chicken Cutlets with Honey, Peppers, and Parm “I Hope We Didn’t Make a Baby” Breakfast Burrito. I’ve been told some of the finest stories over meals. I’ve laughed so hard I thought I was going to actually die. I’ve fallen in love—sometimes with the food, sometimes with the person across the table. I’ve cried in good ways, and I’ve cried in bad ways. I hope you’ve been lucky enough to have all these same memories and then some. But if you haven’t, I can make you a promise. If you follow these three simple steps, it will all become a reality: Open this book. Open your heart. And open wide, baby.

Open Wide er et undervisningsmateriale for de elever, som gerne vil møde en varieret og kreativ undervisning funderet i solid faglighed. Med denne 2. udgave har Open Wide bl.a. fået: Et helt nyt layout som gør det lettere at navigere i indholdet Nye tekster Flere nye opgaver Flere nye icebreakers Open Wide , 2. udg. kommer med sine fire kapitler omkring de kernefaglige kompetencer, der er beskrevet i gymnasiereformen 2017, og som skal oparbejdes hos elever med engelsk på såvel A- som B-niveau i de gymnasiale uddannelser. Bogens to første kapitler er et kvalificeret bud på et varieret og fagligt solidt grundforløb i engelsk i 1g. Open Wide træner både grundlæggende mundtlighed og tekstnær analyse og fortolkning af en bred vifte af genrer: fiktion, sagprosa, de helt nye online genrer, som de sociale medier har bragt ind i vores hverdag, og lyrik i form af amerikansk hiphop, der giver eleverne en anderledes vej ind i en verden af rim, rytme og billedsprog. Det er således en bog, der stiler mod at give eleverne basiskompetencer og faglig tyngde og teori, så de har et godt udgangspunkt til at få gang i engelskfaget. I fire kapitler med fire alsidige og tidssvarende emner og mange arbejdsopgaver med stor variation og høj elevaktivitet kommer bogen omkring fagets grundlæggende faglige kompetencer. Open Up - working with genre: I dette kapitel introduceres eleverne til de grundlæggende genrekarakteristika, som de skal arbejde med i deres gymnasietid. Derudover har kapitlet til formål at sætte fokus på elevernes mundtlige sprogproduktion, så det at tale engelsk bliver en rutine og en selvfølgelighed. Twisted Minds - approaching written texts: Her arbejder eleverne målrettet med at tilegne sig kompetencer i tekstanalyse, hvilket sker gennem behandlingen af tekster, der på forskellig vis afspejler de dunkle sider af det menneskelige sind. G’online - comprehending the World Wide Web: Kapitlet fokuserer på at lære eleverne at navigere i internettets oceaner af informationer. Kapitlet lægger op til en diskussion af hensigtsmæssig informationssøgning og kildekritik, men eleverne stifter også bekendtskab med nogle af de genrer inden for litteraturen, der netop bliver til på nettet. Beat It - the lyrical expression of American hip hop: I det sidste kapitel oparbejder eleverne et fagligt begrebsapparat til at analysere lyrik på utraditionel vis. Dette sker gennem amerikansk hip hop, hvis udvikling også sættes i historisk perspektiv. Brobygningsmateriale Bogens emner rammer bredt ned i de gymnasiale uddannelser, men kan også bruges i udskolingen. Der er stor variation og høj elevaktivitet i opgaverne.
