SUMMARY:James L. May reads from his debut novel The Body Outside the Kremlin
DESCRIPTION:Solovetsky occupies the island site of a former monastery in the White Sea. Here\, hundreds of miles from civilization\, and with a skeleton crew of secret-policemen in charge\, some prisoners are consigned to all kinds of forced labor and others sit at comfortable desks in administrative or cultural positions. With the brutal winter fast approaching\, Tolya Bogomolov\, a young mathematician serving a three-year sentence\, hopes an acquaintance he’s been cultivating will lead to a less brutal work assignment\, maybe even a little more bread in his ration. Knowing Gennady Antonov holds a privileged position restoring the monks’ seized collection of icons ought to improve Tolya’s odds of reassignment. But when Antonov’s body is discovered floating frozen in the bay\, their connection turns dangerous. At first the authorities question Tolya\, but then he’s mystified when they assign him to assist the elderly detective investigating the case—but better to find the real killer than have the murder pinned on him. Digging into Antonov’s secrets turns up strange expropriations of the museum’s icons\, rumors of an escape conspiracy among White Army officers\, and an illicit affair with a female prisoner who won’t tell all she knows. To avoid becoming the murderer’s next victim\, Tolya must defy Solovetsky’s unforgiving regime and make ruthless use of his fellow prisoners. Putting his story to paper at last means reckoning the true cost of his survival.

SUMMARY:Lydia Denworth and Randi Hutter discuss Lydia's new book Friendship
DESCRIPTION:In Friendship\, science journalist Lydia Denworth takes us in search of friendship’s biological\, psychological\, and evolutionary foundations. She finds friendship to be as old as early life on the African savannas—when tribes of people grew large enough for individuals to seek fulfillment of their social needs outside their immediate families. Denworth sees this urge to connect reflected in primates\, too\, taking us to a monkey sanctuary in Puerto Rico and a baboon colony in Kenya to examine social bonds that offer insight into our own. She meets scientists at the frontiers of brain and genetics research and discovers that friendship is reflected in our brain waves\, our genomes\, and our cardiovascular and immune systems; its opposite\, loneliness\, can kill. At long last\, social connection is recognized as critical to wellness and longevity.With insight and warmth\, Denworth weaves past and present\, field biology and neuroscience\, to show how our bodies and minds are designed for friendship across life stages\, the processes by which healthy social bonds are developed and maintained\, and how friendship is changing in the age of social media. Blending compelling science\, storytelling\, and a grand evolutionary perspective\, Denworth delineates the essential role that cooperation and companionship play in creating human (and nonhuman) societies. \n  \nLydia Denworth will be in conversation with Randi Hutter Epstein\, author Aroused: The History of Hormones and How They Control Just About Everything.
