SUMMARY:Betsy Prioleau reads from her new book Swoon
DESCRIPTION:Swoon is a glittering pageant of charismatic ladies’ men from Casanova to Lord Byron to Camus to Ashton Kutcher. It challenges every preconceived idea about great lovers and answers one of history’s most vexing questions: what do women want? Contrary to popular myth and dogma\, the men who consistently beguile women belie the familiar stereotypes: satanic rake\, alpha stud\, slick player\, Mr. Nice\, or big-money mogul. As Betsy Prioleau\, author of Seductress\, points out in this surprising\, insightful study\, legendary ladies’ men are a different\, complex species altogether\, often without looks or money. They fit no known template and possess a cache of powerful erotic secrets. With wit and erudition\, Prioleau cuts through the cultural lore and reveals who these master lovers really are and the arts they practice to enswoon women. What she discovers is revolutionary. Using evidence from science\, popular culture\, fiction\, anthropology\, and history\, and from interviews with colorful real-world ladykillers\, Prioleau finds that great seducers share a constellation of unusual traits. Finally\, Prioleau takes stock of the contemporary culture and asks: where are the Casanovas of today? After a critique of the twenty-first-century sexual malaise—the gulf between the sexes and women’s record discontent—she compellingly argues that society needs ladies’ men more than ever. Groundbreaking and provocative\, Swoon is underpinned with sharp analysis\, brilliant research\, and served up with seductive verve.

SUMMARY:Ellen Meister reads from her new novel Farewell\, Dorothy Parker
DESCRIPTION:When it comes to movie reviews\, critic Violet Epps is a powerhouse voice. But that’s only because she’s learned to channel her literary hero\, Dorothy Parker\, the most celebrated and scathing wit of the 20th century.  If only Violet could summon that kind of courage in her personal life. Determined to defeat her social anxiety\, Violet visits the Algonquin Hotel to pull strength from the hallowed dining room\, where Dorothy Parker and so many other famous writers of the 1920s traded barbs. But she gets more than she bargained for when Dorothy Parker’s feisty spirit rematerializes from an ancient guestbook and hitches a ride onto her life. Violet is shocked and thrilled to be face-to-face with her idol\, but when the gin-swilling writer takes up residence in her home and grows pricklier and more outspoken by the day\, the timid movie critic is pushed to her limit. With her job threatened\, her new relationship in tatters\, and the custody fight for her orphaned niece in jeopardy\, Violet is forced to face her fears …and she makes sure Mrs. Parker does the same. \nWickedly funny and surprisingly poignant\, Farewell\, Dorothy Parker perfectly re-imagines one of America’s most iconic voices in a captivating and unforgettable tale. \n

SUMMARY:Erica Obey reads from her debut novel Back to the Garden
DESCRIPTION:When she heads to Woodstock to ghost-write a memoir for Bliss Falco\, a name-dropping psychic who claims to have slept with everyone from Casanova to Hubert Humphrey in her past lives\, failed romance writer Laura Converse never expects to be mistaken for a long-vanished singer. But she quickly finds herself trying to convince everyone in this New Age Mecca that she has not been sent by supernatural forces in order to solve a twenty-five-year-old murder. Making matters worse\, the story immediately proves irresistible to her ex-husband\, Rimes\, a tabloid reporter – especially if Laura will grant him an exclusive. But tabloid fantasy turns quickly to Woodstock reality when a sleepwalking record producer discovers the singer’s remains and turns to Bliss to help him recover his memories about the long ago night the singer vanished. When murder – perhaps by supernatural means – results\, Laura is forced to join forces with her ex-husband to investigate – a task considerably complicated by a distractingly attractive gardener\, who just might be a warlock… or a murderer… or the love of Laura’s life.

SUMMARY:Poet Cynthia Zarin reads from her memoir An Enlarged Heart
DESCRIPTION:An Enlarged Heart\, the exquisitely written prose debut from prize-winning poet Cynthia Zarin\, is a poignantly understated exploration of the author’s experiences with love\, work\, and the surprise of time’s passage. In these intertwined episodes from her New York world and beyond\, she charts the shifting and complicated parameters of contemporary life and family in writing that feels nearly fictional in its richness of scene\, dialogue\, and mood. The writer herself is the marvelously rueful character at the center of these tales\, at first a bewildered young woman\, navigating the terrain of new jobs and borrowed apartments and the rapidly fading New York of people like Mr. Ferri\, the Upper East Side tailor (“a wren of a man with pins flashing in his teeth”). By the end\, whether Zarin is writing about vanished restaurants\, her decades-long love affair with her collection of coats\, a newlywed journey to Italy\, a child’s illness\, Mary McCarthy’s file cabinet\, or the inner life of the New Yorker staff she knew as a young woman\, this history of the heart shows us how persistent the past is in returning to us with entirely new lessons\, and that there are some truths not even a tailor can alter.
