SUMMARY:Dina Hampton reads from her debut Little Red
DESCRIPTION:In the 1960s\, a remarkable crop of students graduated from a small\, New York City school renowned for progressive pedagogy and left-wing politics: Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School. \nEntering college at the peak of the transformative era we now call The Sixties\, three of these “Little Redders” would go on to change the course of American history: Angela Davis\, African American intellectual activist and Communist Party member; SDS activist and filmmaker Tom Hurwitz; and Elliott Abrams\, who would play a key role in the Republican Neoconservative movement. \nBased on extensive original interviews and archival research\, Little Red follows these characters’ divergent\, occasionally intersecting\, public and private paths through the seminal events and political struggles of the second half of the twentieth century\, from the civil rights movement to the Vietnam War; the Summer of Love to radical feminism; Iran-Contra to Occupy Wall Street.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Graver reads from her new book The End of the Point
DESCRIPTION:A precisely observed\, superbly crafted novel\, The End of the Point by Elizabeth Graver charts the dramatic changes in the lives of three generations of one remarkable family\, and the summer place that both shelters and isolates them. \nAshaunt Point\, Massachusetts\, has anchored life for generations of the Porter family\, who summer along its remote\, rocky shore. But in 1942\, the U.S. Army arrives on the Point\, bringing havoc and change. That summer\, the two older Porter girls—teenagers Helen and Dossie—run wild. The children’s Scottish nurse\, Bea\, falls in love. And youngest daughter\, Janie\, is entangled in an incident that cuts the season short and haunts the family for years to come. \nAn unforgettable portrait of one family’s journey through the second half of the twentieth century\, Elizabeth Graver’s The End of the Point artfully probes the hairline fractures hidden beneath the surface of our lives and traces the fragile and enduring bonds that connect us.

SUMMARY:Tom Folsom reads from his new biography Hopper
DESCRIPTION:As unconventional a biography as Dennis Hopper was a man\, Hopper: A Journey into the American Dream by Tom Folsom charts his roller coaster life and career through the lens of the landscape of American popular culture. \nThe chopper-riding hippie outlaw in Easy Rider. The prophetic madman in the jungle in Apocalypse Now. The terrifying psychopath in Blue Velvet. The kid gone wrong in Rebel Without a Cause. The actor taken under the wing of James Dean\, a friendship that set Dennis Hopper on his path to becoming a star. A quintessentially American dreamer longing to be the next Orson Welles. The hell-raising director who revolutionized Hollywood. \nDennis Hopper’s extraordinary journey takes him to superhero highs and plummeting lows. Capturing the magic and the madness of his American Dream\, Hopper is a wild ride through Dennis’s many lives. Written in a rebel spirit\, complemented with iconic photographs\, and packed with insights from his fellow actors\, artists\, and friends\, Hopper tells the story of a half-century of rebellion waged at the edge of pop culture.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Cody Epstein reads from her new novel The Gods of Heavenly Punishment
DESCRIPTION:A lush\, exquisitely rendered meditation on war\, The Gods of Heavenly Punishment tells the story of several families\, American and Japanese\, their loves and infidelities\, their dreams and losses\, and how they are all connected by one of the most devastating acts of war in human history. \n\nIn this evocative and thrilling epic novel\, fifteen-year-old Yoshi Kobayashi\, child of Japan’s New Empire\, daughter of an ardent expansionist and a mother with a haunting past\, is on her way home on a March night when American bombers shower her city with napalm—an attack that leaves one hundred thousand dead within hours and half the city in ashen ruins. In the days that follow\, Yoshi’s old life will blur beyond recognition\, leading her to a new world marked by destruction and shaped by those considered the enemy: Cam\, a downed bomber pilot taken prisoner by the Imperial Japanese Army; Anton\, a gifted architect who helped modernize Tokyo’s prewar skyline but is now charged with destroying it; and Billy\, an Occupation soldier who arrives in the blackened city with a dark secret of his own. Directly or indirectly\, each will shape Yoshi’s journey as she seeks safety\, love\, and redemption.
