New York, NY – July 1, 2025 – Casa Carlini, the independent publisher behind the celebrated Simply Charly series, is thrilled to announce three new additions to its lineup of concise, thought-provoking explorations of iconic figures. Alongside these releases, the press will also publish Won’t Get Fooled Again by Charles Carlini and the highly anticipated The Marilyn Diaries by Aubrey Malone.
New Additions to the Simply Charly Series
Each book in the Simply Charly series offers an accessible yet profound look at the lives and legacies of history’s most fascinating figures. This year’s releases include:
- Simply Caesar by J. David Markham and Matthew Zarzeczny – More than a biography, this book examines the man behind the myth: what drove Julius Caesar, the empire he forged, the price he paid, and why his story still captivates us two millennia later.
- Simply Nabokov by Dana Dragunoiu – A deep dive into the mind of Vladimir Nabokov, the literary genius behind Lolita. This volume explores his mastery of language, his provocative themes, and the enduring power of his work.
- Simply Bukowski by Aubrey Malone – An unflinching portrait of Charles Bukowski, the poet laureate of the downtrodden. This book captures his raw, unfiltered voice as he chronicled life’s messiness—bars, racetracks, bad choices, and the beauty in the struggle.
Beyond Simply Charly: Additional Releases
Casa Carlini’s 2025 lineup also includes:
- Won’t Get Fooled Again: How to See Through Lies, Biases, and Bad Arguments by Charles Carlini – In an era of misinformation, this essential guide equips readers with the tools to think critically, spot deception, and navigate rhetoric with clarity.
- The Marilyn Diaries by Aubrey Malone (Coming Late 2025) – Arriving just before what would have been Marilyn Monroe’s 100th birthday, this fictionalized diary reimagines the inner world of Hollywood’s most enduring icon. Moving beyond the glamour and gossip, it offers an intimate glimpse of the woman behind the legend.
A Word from the Publisher
“Great writing—whether biography, fiction, or critical thought—should challenge us to see the world differently,” said Charles Carlini, founder of Casa Carlini. “These new books do exactly that. From Caesar’s ambition to Bukowski’s grit, from Nabokov’s linguistic brilliance to Marilyn’s untold inner life, they remind us that history’s most compelling figures are never simple. And in Won’t Get Fooled Again, we tackle the urgent need for sharper thinking in a confusing world.
