SUMMARY:Juliann Garey reads from her debut Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See
DESCRIPTION:In her tour-de-force first novel\, Juliann Garey takes us inside the restless mind\, ravaged heart\, and anguished soul of Greyson Todd\, a successful Hollywood studio executive who leaves his wife and young daughter and for a decade travels the world giving free reign to the bipolar disorder he’s been forced to keep hidden for almost 20 years. The novel intricately weaves together three timelines: the story of Greyson’s travels (Rome\, Israel\, Santiago\, Thailand\, Uganda); the progressive unraveling of his own father seen through Greyson’s eyes as a child; and the intimacies and estrangements of his marriage. The entire narrative unfolds in the time it takes him to undergo twelve 30-second electroshock treatments in a New York psychiatric ward. This is a literary page-turner of the first order\, and a brilliant inside look at mental illness. \nJuliann Garey has sold original screenplays and television pilots to Sony Pictures\, NBC\, CBS\, Columbia TriStar Television and Lifetime TV. As a journalist she has edited and written for publications including Marie Claire\, Glamour\, More\, Entertainment Weekly\, Elle\, New York Magazine\, The Los Angeles Times and The Huffington Post. She has received fellowships in fiction writing at The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and The Vermont Studio Center. Garey is a graduate of Yale University and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. Too Bright To Hear Too Loud To See is her first novel.

SUMMARY:Sean Pidgeon reads from his debut Finding Camlann
DESCRIPTION:A dramatic find at Stonehenge and another\, quieter discovery in the Bodleian Library set in motion a riveting scholarly detective story and a romance\, unfolding across a rich historical landscape evoked by the secret places and half-forgotten legends of the British countryside. \nArchaeologist Donald Gladstone knows there is no solid evidence that King Arthur ever existed. And yet medieval tales of this legendary warrior must have found their inspiration somewhere\, and Donald is determined to discover their true source. A chance encounter with the beguiling Julia Llewellyn\, a gifted linguist working at the Oxford English Dictionary\, sets them both on the trail of elusive clues embedded in an old Welsh battle poem. Their quest will intersect in unforeseen ways with their own troubled lives and will lead them at last to a deeper understanding of the origins of Arthur. \nSean Pidgeon is a reference publisher at John Wiley & Sons. Born and raised in the UK\, he now lives in New Jersey with his American wife and children.

SUMMARY:Burt Weissbourd reads from his debut Inside Passage
DESCRIPTION:Corey Logan was set up. She knows Nick Season’s terrible secret. Coming home from prison\, all Corey wants is to be with her son. To get him back\, she needs to make a good impression on the psychiatrist evaluating her. But Dr. Abe Stein doesn’t believe she was framed—until his well-heeled mother falls for the charming state attorney general candidate\, Nick Season. \nAs the dogs of war are unleashed\, Corey and her son run for their lives—taking her boat up the Pacific Northwest’s remote Inside Passage. Inside Passage is the first in Weissbourd’s haunting\, heart-stirring Corey Logan trilogy. \nBurt Weissbourd is the producer of many notable films\, including Ghost Story\, starring Fred Astaire\, Douglas Fairbanks Jr.\, and Patricia Neal\, Raggedy Man\, starring Sissy Spacek and Sam Shepard\, which The New York Times called “a movie of sweet\, low-keyed charm.” Weissbourd also worked with crime fiction legend Ross Macdonald on his only screenplay. He lives in New York.

SUMMARY:Jane Grossman reads from her debut novel Dying to Live in Palm Beach
DESCRIPTION:For a group of eight close-knit widows living in Palm Beach\, life is for celebrating. Spending their time on lavish shopping trips\, playing bridge\, and exchanging witty barbs over glasses of wine about who might be looking for a new husband\, these friends enjoy the good life. That is\, until one of them takes the celebration a bit too far. It all started innocently enough: picking up someone else’s credit card by mistake\, making a few charges\, and hoping Bunny Boardman wouldn’t notice. And then doing it again the next week\, reasoning away any lingering moral concerns. But when Bunny does notice\, things turn grave fast. The police chalk up the ensuing deaths to natural causes\, but the inimitable Flossy Kane suspects it’s not that simple—and that they’re all in danger. Oxygen tank in tow and with the help of her home health aide\, Frances\, Flossy is determined to prove the police wrong (and save her own life) in this lighthearted whodunit. \nJane Grossman divides her time between homes in Boston and Aspen. Before moving to Massachusetts\, she and her husband lived in New York City\, where she worked here at The Corner Bookstore from 1979-1982 before co-founding the famous Traveller’s Bookstore in Rockefeller Center. She has a B.A. from Barnard College and is the coauthor of Boston Foot Notes: A Walking Guide.

SUMMARY:Amy Wilentz reads from Farewell\, Fred Voodoo: A Letter from Haiti
DESCRIPTION:The Rainy Season\, Amy Wilentz’s award-winning 1989 portrait of Haiti after the fall of Jean-Claude Duvalier\, was praised in the New York Times Book Review as “a remarkable account of a journalist’s transformation by her subject.” In her relationship with the country since then\, Wilentz has witnessed more than one magical transformation. Now\, with Farewell\, Fred Voodoo\, she gives us a vivid portrayal of the extraordinary people living in this stark place. \nWilentz traces the country’s history from its slave plantations through its turbulent revolutionary history\, its kick-up-the-dirt guerrilla movements\, its totalitarian dynasty that ruled for decades\, and its long and always troubled relationship with the United States. Yet through a history of hardship shines Haiti’s creative culture—its African traditions\, its French inheritance\, and its uncanny resilience\, a strength that is often confused with resignation. \nAmy Wilentz is the author of The Rainy Season: Haiti Since Duvalier\, of Martyrs’ Crossing\, (a novel) and of I Feel Earthquakes More Often Than They Happen: Coming to California in the Age of Schwarzenegger. She has won the Whiting Writers Award\, the PEN Martha Albrand Non-Fiction Award\, and the American Academy of Arts and Letters Rosenthal Award; in 1990\, she was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award. She writes for The New Yorker and The Nation and teaches in the Literary Journalism program at U.C. Irvine.
