SUMMARY:Victoria Lee reads from her debut YA book The Fever King
DESCRIPTION:In the former United States\, sixteen-year-old Noam Álvaro wakes up in a hospital bed\, the sole survivor of the viral magic that killed his family and made him a technopath. His ability to control technology attracts the attention of the minister of defense and thrusts him into the magical elite of the nation of Carolinia. \nThe son of undocumented immigrants\, Noam has spent his life fighting for the rights of refugees fleeing magical outbreaks—refugees Carolinia routinely deports with vicious efficiency. Sensing a way to make change\, Noam accepts the minister’s offer to teach him the science behind his magic\, secretly planning to use it against the government. But then he meets the minister’s son—cruel\, dangerous\, and achingly beautiful—and the way forward becomes less clear. \nCaught between his purpose and his heart\, Noam must decide who he can trust and how far he’s willing to go in pursuit of the greater good \n

SUMMARY:Victoria Shorr reads from her new book Midnight
DESCRIPTION:Exquisite and nuanced in its storytelling\, Midnight crafts intimate\, humanizing portraits of Jane Austen\, Mary Shelley\, and Joan of Arc that ask us to behold the women behind the icons. \nMidnight is a study in the courage of three women—Jane Austen\, Mary Shelley\, and Joan of Arc. Jane Austen was poor in 1802\, unmarried and homeless. She had outlines\, ideas\, and first drafts of her future novels but no place to sit and write them. It is at this bleak moment that she receives an offer of marriage from a rich man. Midnight takes us to the hour of her decision between financial security and her writing life. \nWhen sixteen-year-old Mary Godwin elopes to France with the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley\, she scoffs at the cost—life as an outcast. Together they travel through Europe\, reading and writing\, but Midnight finds her alone\, eight years later\, pacing a terrace overlooking the Italian shore\, watching for Shelley to sail home over stormy seas in a shaky boat. \nJoan of Arc\, imprisoned in chains\, kept her faith for a long year. Be brave\, daughter of God\, her saints had whispered\, you will be saved—and she believes it\, until she is taken to be burned at the stake. Midnight is the story of Joan’s final days\, between her terrified recantation and her heroic return to the stake.

SUMMARY:Elinor Lipman reads from her new book Good Riddance
DESCRIPTION:The delightful new romantic comedy from Elinor Lipman\, in which one woman’s trash becomes another woman’s treasure\, with deliriously entertaining results.  Daphne Maritch doesn’t quite know what to make of the heavily annotated high school yearbook she inherits from her mother\, who held this relic dear. Too dear. The late June Winter Maritch was the teacher to whom the class of ’68 had dedicated its yearbook\, and in turn she went on to attend every reunion\, scribbling notes and observations after each one—not always charitably—and noting who overstepped boundaries of many kinds. \nIn a fit of decluttering (the yearbook did not\, Daphne concluded\, “spark joy”)\, she discards it when she moves to a small New York City apartment. But when it’s found in the recycling bin by a busybody neighbor/documentary filmmaker\, the yearbook’s mysteries—not to mention her own family’s—take on a whole new urgency\, and Daphne finds herself entangled in a series of events both poignant and absurd.

SUMMARY:Terese Svoboda reads from her new book of short stories Great American Desert
DESCRIPTION:“Great American Desert is a devious and extraordinary new collection of stories from one of our best writers\, Terese Svoboda. A kaleidoscopic tour through the Plains that spans decades and beautifully fuses the tonal worlds of comedy\, horror\, history\, and myth. Svoboda is sexy\, funny\, frighteningly intelligent\, and sublimely attuned to the hum of ancient water running underneath our thirsty world.”                           —Karen Russell \n“Terese Svoboda has brought a poet’s lyrical intensity and factual density to prose fiction and writes like no one else.” \n—Tom McGuane \n  \nTerese Svoboda will be introduced by author Kurt Andersen.
