Clare Brown
About this listen
Written and performed by TikTok star Clare Brown, New Nigeria County is a whip-smart, full-cast satire tackling race, gender, and nationalism in today’s world. When a white family moves into an affluent Black community, a “misunderstanding” between neighbors escalates until the entire town is swept up in the drama.
New Nigeria is a good, clean, all-American town. The husbands are smiling and handsome, the wives are strong, rich, and powerful, and Nat Turner High is the best public school in the state. Yet, the citizens of this idyllic community find themselves in a rapidly changing country and, to be perfectly honest, some of them are a teeny bit uncomfortable with it all.
When a New Nigeria community leader Carèn makes a frantic phone call to the local police about a “potential gang member” roaming her cushy Malcolm X Estates neighborhood, it turns out the boy is her new European American neighbor, Jake Smith, and the misunderstanding quickly becomes the talk of the town. While Jake’s mom, Meghan, is hurt by her new neighbor’s behavior, Carèn works tirelessly to preserve the safety (and the property values) of her beloved community. As the two women work toward their own version of equity, their conflict continues to escalate, setting off a chain of cringe-worthy confrontations that send the good citizens of New Nigeria into a tailspin.
New Nigeria County is a hilarious, razor-sharp debut, flipping the script to expose uncomfortable truths through wildly entertaining comedy. This dynamic audiobook, created for the listening experience, is perfect for fans of Abbott Elementary, Dear White People, and Such a Fun Age.

Story
Recruited into the fundamentalist Quiverfull movement as a young wife, Tia Levings learned that being a good Christian meant following a list of additional life principles—a series of secret, special rules to obey. Being a godly and submissive wife in Christian Patriarchy included strict discipline, isolation, and an alternative lifestyle that appeared wholesome to outsiders. Women were to be silent, “keepers of the home.” A Well-Trained Wife is an unforgettable memoir about a woman's race to save herself and her family and details the ways that extreme views can manifest in a marriage.

But a fight for his son’s health and safety forced him onto a center stage that he had never wanted. And now, at a crucial point for our nation, he is stepping forward again.

Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous–and most revered–doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through Covid (and through the torrents of Trump) earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a major role. His crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and his leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises, make him truly an American hero.

Today, many of us are feeling the pinch—and being bombarded with portrayals of social media 'perfection' is making that pinch feel more like a punch. We may know that social media—with all its billionaires and beauty queens—is just a highlight reel. So why is it still making most of us feel so low? Comedian Shabaz Ali wants to help you see the funny side of social media again. Because while it looks nice to live up in an ivory tower, this book reminds us that it is much more fun to be part of the baying mob that surrounds it.

Her subsequent essay, with its scathing commentary about the pervasiveness of misogyny in the food world, would be read millions of times. In If You Can’t Take the Heat, DeRuiter shares stories about her shockingly true, painfully funny (and sometimes just painful) adventures in gastronomy.

Critic reviews
"New Nigeria Country is a sharp satire--chock full of jokes but with something important to say. It escalates with the satisfying zip of a nighttime cable soap. I've been a fan of Clare Brown's videos for years and this gorgeously produced audiobook is a perfect platform for her voice." (R. Eric Thomas, bestselling author of Congratulations, The Best Is Over!)
“New Nigeria County is a masterclass on unvarnished truths delivered hilariously. Anything Clare Brown writes has my undivided attention.” (Kelly Harms, bestselling author of The Overdue Life of Amy Byler and You Can Thank Me Later)
"Clare Brown's razor-sharp satire shines in this stunning debut -- Brown wields her wit and social commentary like surgeon's scalpels, every word a precise flip of the script, each more cutting and revealing than the last." (Hayley DeRoche, author of Hello Lovelies! and creator of Sad Beige comedy)
“A stupendous full-cast, fully-realized production…Buffered in hilarity, Brown also provides a brilliant exposé of undeniable, inescapable inequity and injustice.” —Booklist (starred review)

Story
Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.

Story
Breakfast of Champions (1973) provides frantic, scattershot satire and a collage of Vonnegut's obsessions. His recurring cast of characters and American landscape was perhaps the most controversial of his canon; it was felt by many at the time to be a disappointing successor to Slaughterhouse-Five, which had made Vonnegut's literary reputation.

Story
Hilarious, fascinating, and a roller coaster of dizzying, historical what-ifs, Napoleon's Hemorrhoids is a potpourri for serious historians and casual history buffs. In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

Turning the tables
Ms Clare does a phenomenal job at turning the tables on race and gender in her first also book. I LOVE that it was an audio book because hearing the tone of the characters put the cherry on top!

The Book of Opposites
Viewing social "norms", gender roles, racial inequities, bigotry etc. through a different lens. This was such a great book. It was entertaining, funny, and transformative.
My, my, if the tables were turned.

Hurts so good
This book just hit right in the sweet spot and I couldn't be more impressed. Clearly there's room for a 2nd book to pick up with Jasmine going to college and Damarius feeling at loose ends. But Queen C Walker and Gov Rodriguez will have much work to do keeping things safe for REAL Americans.

To avoid spoilers, I will keep this brief. New Nigeria County should be required listening for any and every person in America. The satire is sharp and cutting. Bravo!
