SUMMARY:Ali Gordon presents her debut We Have Reached the End of Our Show
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to an unrelenting cycle of cancer treatments\, thirty-two-year-old Gabe is too weak to dance gracefully on stage or through NYC’s sparkling social scene like he once did. And although he and Josie have been in love for six years\, lately Gabe’s been feeling more like Josie’s patient than his boyfriend. So one day\, Gabe makes a choice: he’ll forgo treatment and live out his remaining days on his own terms.​ \nThen a harrowing announcement blasts over the news—TWENTY-FIVE DAYS UNTIL IMPACT—and as the world falls into chaos around him\, something sparks inside Gabe for the first time in a long time: the chance for adventure. When his cousin\, Lisi\, shows up with a car and a plan\, the three begin a journey none of them ever expected­—a road trip through the end of the world. \nProfound\, moving\, and delicate\, We Have Reached the End of Our Show is a crystalline depiction of the best of humanity and the love we’re all capable of\, even in the bleakest of times. Gabe\, Josie\, and Lisi take turns at the wheel of this novel\, steering readers along hauntingly empty highways and through the adventure that happens when we’re forced to put down the carefully drawn map of our lives and look around at what really matters: each other. \n  \nWith performances by Christi Somers (Dead Moms Club) and Michael Cruz Kayne (Sorry For Your Loss).

SUMMARY:Amanda Vaill launches her new book Pride and Pleasure: The Schuyler Sisters in the Age of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Angelica and Elizabeth Schuyler\, born to wealth and privilege in New York’s Hudson Valley during the latter half of the eighteenth century\, were raised to make good marriages and supervise substantial households. Instead they became embroiled in the turmoil of America’s insurrection against Great Britain—and rebelled themselves\, in ways as different as each was from the other\, against the destiny mapped out for them. \nGlamorous Angelica\, who sought fulfillment through attachments to powerful men\, eloped at twenty with a war profiteer and led a luxurious life\, first in Paris\, then in London\, charming Benjamin Franklin\, Thomas Jefferson\, and the Prince of Wales. Eliza\, one year her junior\, too candid for flirtation and uninterested in influence or intrigue\, married a penniless illegitimate outsider\, Alexander Hamilton\, and devoted herself to his career. But after his appointment as America’s first Treasury Secretary\, she was challenged by the controversies in which he became involved\, not the least of which was the attraction that grew between him and her adored sister. \nWhen tragedy followed\, everything changed for both women: one deprived of her animating spirit\, the other improbably gaining a new\, self-determined life. “You would not have suffered if you had married into a family less near the sun\,” wrote Angelica to Eliza\, “but then [you would have missed] the pride\, the pleasure\, the nameless satisfactions.” \nDrawing on deep archival research\, including never-published records and letters\, Amanda Vaill interweaves this family drama with its historical context\, creating a narrative with the sweep and intimacy of a nineteenth-century novel. Full of battles and dinner parties\, murky politics and transparent frocks\, fierce loyalty and betrayals both public and personal\, Pride and Pleasure brings two extraordinary American heroines to life.

SUMMARY:Susan Cheever in conversation with Ben Cheever about her latest When All the Men Wore Hats
DESCRIPTION:The Stories of John Cheever\, published in 1978\, brought together some of the finest short fiction ever written. The collection was honored with the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award\, and it would go on to sell millions of copies and to define the American short story and shape generations of writers. Cheever’s chronicles of modern life both emerged from a distinctly American culture and also created it—inspiring everything from Mad Men to a Raymond Carver story\, from rock songs to a Seinfeld episode.\nGrowing up\, Susan Cheever\, John Cheever’s eldest child and only daughter\, read what he read\, heard what he heard\, bantered and gossiped with him and her brothers and mother at the dinner table\, and later watched her father type on the cheap yellow paper he favored. A daughter much like Susan appears in many of Cheever’s stories and a family much like theirs is at the center of his writing. \nIn When All the Men Wore Hats\, Susan Cheever looks back on her father’s work and seeks to understand the connections between art and life. How did a bit of local gossip\, a slice of Greek myth\, and a new translation of Madame Bovary somehow become a brilliant gem like “The Country Husband” or “The Swimmer”? In her 1984 book Home Before Dark\, published two years after her father’s death\, Cheever wrote movingly about her father and the secrets he kept\, but here\, years later\, she tells the story of the remarkable stories themselves\, six of which appear in full in the book’s appendix. \n  \nSusan Cheever will be in conversation with her brother Ben Cheever author of The Plagiarist & Selling Ben Cheever.
