SUMMARY:Priya Parmar in conversation about her new novel The Original
DESCRIPTION:When young Katharine Hepburn loses her beloved brother\, she makes two decisions: She will become famous\, and she will never let anyone hurt her again. Leaving home at twenty-one to pursue a career on Broadway\, Kate is talent-spotted\, screen-tested\, and lured to Los Angeles\, accompanied by her lover\, Laura. Hollywood in the early 1930s is a town full of secrets. Everyone comes with a story. When Kate arrives in California to launch her film career\, she leaves behind her East Coast marriage and icy patrician family to live and love on her own terms. Soon she is scooped into the studio system and launched as a star—but stars must play by the rules and Kate\, brilliant\, bisexual\, and strong-willed\, refuses to conform. \nSurrounded by a legendary circle of intimates\, including the powerful David and Irene Selznick\, charming and romantically conflicted actor Cary Grant\, ambitious director John Ford\, and millionaire tycoon Howard Hughes\, Kate navigates a web of sex\, rivalry\, and betrayal. As Kate’s career ascends\, she faces an agonizing choice: be the star everyone wants her to be\, or risk everything to become the woman she always was. \n  \nPriya will be in conversation with author Christina Baker-Kline

SUMMARY:Alexandra Andrews reads from her new book The Fine Art of Lying
DESCRIPTION:In the beginning\, there was art. \nIt was Clare Bast’s love of art that saved her from a bleak\, predictable life in upstate New York\, and drew her to the cultured world of Manhattan’s Upper East Side where she met Jed\, her doting\, affluent husband. \nDespite her best efforts—including a half-finished PhD\, abandoned when her daughter Sadie was born—Clare secretly can’t help but feel like an imposter in Jed’s one-percent\, Park-Avenue life. \nWhen the well-connected wife of Jed’s new boss introduces her to influential friends—a curator here\, a gallerist there\, an aficionado abroad—Clare feels an essential part of herself coming alive again. And when she discovers that an important work painted by the subject of her unfinished dissertation is hanging in the brownstone of a seductively attractive dealer\, she believes fate is leading her where she belongs . . . until she finds herself at the scene of a gruesome murder and a stolen masterpiece. Caught in the perfectly wrong place at the perfectly wrong time\, every clue the investigation uncovers points back to her. \nSuddenly\, Clare is trapped inside a dark and treacherous art world filled with unscrupulous dealers and international criminals. What\, exactly\, has she gotten herself into . . . and how is she going to get herself\, and her family\, out?

SUMMARY:Teddy Wayne reads from his latest The Au Pair
DESCRIPTION:Steven Hammer was once a literary star. Now\, his career is floundering\, his marriage to a high-powered woman is crumbling\, and the only bright spot in his life is Astrid\, the Norwegian au pair who cares for their children—and reveres his neglected novels. But what begins as a secret infatuation soon spirals into a scandal that makes them both infamous. \nAs a headline-grabbing trial captivates the world with a salacious story of sex\, power\, and betrayal\, Steven must confront the wreckage he’s created—and the deeper insecurities that fueled it. Is Astrid an innocent young woman caught up in a case beyond her control\, or a calculating femme fatale? And how far will he go\, driven by desperation and obsession\, for her professed love? \nWith inexorable momentum and sly\, lucid prose\, Teddy Wayne’s The Au Pair is a sleek literary thriller about desire\, deception\, and the unraveling of a man as he grapples with his fading relevance—when the lies others spin pale beside the fictions we tell ourselves.

SUMMARY:Maya C. Popa reads from her latest If You Love That Lady: Poems
DESCRIPTION:If You Love That Lady is a hymn to the pursuit of the unattainable. The title sequence dramatizes the paradox of correspondence: The private worlds shaped by the act of writing\, and the expectant silences that charge our lives. Drawing from nineteenth-century courtship letters\, the collection lingers in the rush of love and the resurrection that follows: “Happiness was no small thing\, / but neither was its cost.” Delivered with piercing elegance and signature wit—“What a formidable excuse he was. / What a pair of borrowed eyes / with a side of Keats”—these poems teach us that desire\, like poetry\, depends on revelation and restraint alike. \nPart elegy to the passing of impossible things\, part ars poetica to the possibility of remaking\, If You Love That Lady explores the inventiveness of longing and its relentless drive\, proving that what breaks us open at last reveals us to ourselves.
