SUMMARY:Andy Corren discusses his debut memoir Dirtbag Queen with actor Ryan Eggold
DESCRIPTION:“Because she was my mother\, the death of zaftig good-time gal Renay Corren is newsworthy to me\, and I treat it with the same respect and reverence she had for\, well\, nothing. A more disrespectful\, trash talking woman was not to be found.” \nSo began Andy Corren’s unforgettable obituary for his mother\, Renay Mandel Corren\, a tribute that went on to touch the hearts of millions around the globe. In his brief telling of the life and legend that was Renay\, a “loud\, filthy‑minded (and filthy‑mouthed) Jewish lady redneck who birthed six kids\,” Andy captured only a slice of his loving and fabulously unconventional mother. \nIn this uproariously funny\, deeply moving family portrait\, readers meet the rest of his absurd clan: his brothers\, affectionately nicknamed Asshole\, Twin\, and Rabbi; his one-eyed pirate queen of a sister\, Cathy Sue; and then there’s Bonus\, who Andy isn’t aware of until later in life since this mysterious oldest brother grew up at the Green Valley School for Emotionally Disturbed and Delinquent Children.

SUMMARY:Michael Cannell reads from his new book Blood and the Badge
DESCRIPTION:No episode in NYPD history surpasses the depravities of Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa\, two decorated detectives who covertly acted as mafia informants and paid assassins in the Scorsese world of 1980s Brooklyn. \nFor more than ten years\, Eppolito and Caracappa moonlighted as the mob’s early warning alert system\, leaking names of mobsters secretly cooperating with the government and crippling investigations by sharing details of surveillance\, phone taps and impending arrests. The Lucchese boss called the two detectives his crystal ball: Whatever detectives knew\, the mafia soon learned. Most grievously\, Eppolito and Caracappa earned bonuses by staging eight mob hits\, pulling the trigger themselves at least once. \nIncredibly\, when evidence of their wrongdoing arose in 1994\, FBI officials failed to muster an indictment. The allegations lay dormant for a decade and were only revisited due to relentless follow up by Tommy Dades\, a cop determined to break the cold case before his retirement. Eppolito and Caracappa were finally tried and then sentenced to life in prison in 2009\, nearly thirty years after their crimes took place. \nCannell’s Blood and the Badge is based on entirely new research and never-before-released interviews with mobsters themselves\, including Sammy “the Bull” Gravano. Eppolito and Caracappa’s story is more relevant than ever as police conduct comes under ever-increasing scrutiny.

SUMMARY:Henry Alford launches his new book I Dream of Joni
DESCRIPTION:Joni Mitchell’s life\, psyche\, and evolving legacy are explored here in vivid technicolor—from her childhood in Saskatoon\, Canada\, to her arrival in Laurel Canyon that turned her into\, as Alford puts it\, “the bard of heartbreak and longing.” Each period of Mitchell’s life is observed via the artists\, friends\, family\, and lovers she encountered along the way\, including James Taylor\, Leonard Cohen\, Georgia O’Keefe\, Prince\, and\, most significantly\, Kilauren\, the daughter Mitchell gave up for adoption at birth but then reconnected with decades later.\nPresented in the impressionistic vein of Ninety-Nine Glimpses of Princess Margaret\, I Dream of Joni explores in fifty-three essays\, with the author’s trademark wit and verve\, the life of the legendary singer-songwriter.

SUMMARY:Cynthia Weiner discusses her new book A Gorgeous Excitement with editor Amy Einhorn
DESCRIPTION:There are two things Nina Jacobs is determined to do over the summer of 1986: avoid her mother’s depression-fueled rages\, and lose her virginity before she starts college in the fall. Both are seemingly impossible—when her mother isn’t lying in bed for days\, she’s lashing out at Nina over any perceived slight. And after a blowjob gone spectacularly wrong\, Nina is the talk of Flanagan’s\, the Upper East Side bar where young Manhattan society congregates. It doesn’t help that she’s Jewish\, an outsider among the blue-eyed blondes who populate this rarified world. She can fit in\, kind of\, with enough alcohol and prescription drugs stolen from her parents’ medicine cabinet. \nFlanagan’s is where she pines for the handsome\, preppy\, and charismatic Gardner Reed. Every girl wants to sleep with him and every guy wants to be him. After she’s introduced to cocaine\, Nina plunges headlong into her pursuit of Gardner\, oblivious to the warning signs. When a new medication seemingly frees her mother from darkness\, and Nina and Gardner grow closer\, it seems like Nina might finally get what she wants. But at what cost? \nAmy Einhorn is SVP\, Publisher of Fiction at Crown Publishing Group
