SUMMARY:Victoria Shorr reads from her latest Fatherland
DESCRIPTION:Martin and Lora Brier\, with three young children\, possess all the trappings of a perfect life . . . except Martin is having yet another affair. Without warning\, he abandons the family for his mistress and a new house on the other side of town. \nSet in a prosperous midwestern town in the 1950s\, Fatherland is a story about the effect of convenient lies and discovered truths. While Martin’s abandonment throws up new difficulties for bewildered Lora\, a housewife\, who must now find a way to nurture and provide for herself and children\, it unleashes a swirl of emotions in their daughter\, Josie\, who struggles to come to term with his absence. Fatherland follows Josie from this fateful event\, across many decades and milestones and through the phases of her tenuous\, emotionally fraught relationship with Martin—and the way she begins to move beyond their shared past.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the launch of About Above Around with author Mark Mayer and painted Jason Stopa
DESCRIPTION:“We ought to say a feeling of and\, a feeling of if\, a feeling of but\, and a feeling of by\,” William James writes.

Kaveh Akbar\, selecting the collection for the George Garrett Prize\, says: “About\, Above\, Around is thrillingly ambitious and deliciously readable\, a remarkable vortex of place and mind and spirit illuminating how our lives are shaped\, and how we’re held within them. Mayer has given us one of the most dexterous\, impressive books I’ve read in ages.” \nWinner of The 2024 George Garrett Fiction Prize\, selected by Kaveh Akbar

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:David Harris discusses his new book Antisemitism: What Everyone Needs to Know
DESCRIPTION:History teaches that antisemitism is a disease which begins with the Jews but does not end with them. Once antisemitism is unleashed\, it knows no bounds and can attack the very fabric of society. This deadly strain of hatred often turns against other minority groups too\, not to mention foundational democratic values\, beginning with equal rights and equal protection before the law. Therefore\, antisemitism should be viewed as a universal human rights issue of importance to all\, and not solely as a parochial Jewish or Israeli concern. \nAntisemitism: What Everyone Needs to Know® explores how\, in the 21st century\, antisemitism is once again resurgent. In recent years\, the FBI reported that well over half of all religiously motivated hate crimes in the United States targeted Jews\, even though Jews comprise just over two percent of the population. It is striking how little understood antisemitism\, including the term itself\, still is. This extends quite widely to political leaders\, educational authorities\, law enforcement and the judiciary\, civic groups\, and media outlets. Polls have also shown how knowledge of the Holocaust\, which was widely considered to be a firewall against the resurgence of antisemitism\, is declining\, notwithstanding ongoing attention to the topic in education\, museums and memorials\, and culture.

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.

SUMMARY:Lauren Willig launches her new book What Happens at Nightfall
DESCRIPTION:In the sprawling Gothic expanse of Brooklyn’s Green-Wood Cemetery\, some secrets refuse to stay buried.\nRecently laid off and searching for purpose\, Jess reluctantly joins her best friend on a supposedly fun nighttime cemetery tour. Separated from her group by accident\, she discovers a bunch of terrified boys and a strange\, ancient key. Both lead to Green-Wood’s surprisingly handsome resident arborist\, Adam Chervinsky.\nRecently widowed\, Adam has more to protect than the leafy residents of Green-Wood. His children\, still dealing with the loss of their mother\, are acting strangely. A haunting is afoot\, and Jess seems to know more than she’s letting on. Sparks fly between Jess and Adam—and the unquiet spirits of Green-Wood rise from their century-long slumber.\nAs Jess and Adam delve deeper into the cemetery’s haunted history\, they uncover a Gilded Age curse\, a ghostly socialite\, and a demonic pact that stretches across generations. What lies hidden in the Green-Wood’s splendid Vanderwilt mausoleum? As the line between the living and the dead blurs\, and the shadows of Green-Wood begin to stir with malevolent intent\, Jess must confront not only the supernatural forces but a shocking connection to the past if she and Adam truly want to live happily ever after.

SUMMARY:Carol LaHines in conversation about her new book Miracle Grow of the Mind
DESCRIPTION:Miracle Grow of the Mind is a funny\, heartbreaking exploration of parenthood\, disability\, medical bureaucracy\, Big Agro\, food allergies\, and environmental pathogens. When Amy and Michael’ s son is born prematurely\, they are thrust into a world of pediatric neurologists\, sensory reintegration therapy\, and endless evaluations. \n  \nMichael also struggles with a mother suffering from dementia\, who insists he is the grown-up version of a brother who died in infancy. When the Kafkaesque Bureau of Preschool Special Education threatens to make their son repeat kindergarten\, the family must confront how they are living and decide which therapies— everything from Mel Finkelstein’ s sensory reintegration sessions to pediatric neurologist visits— are worth the emotional toll. \n  \nWith the help of Griffin’ s babysitter Estella— caught in a secret affair with Josef\, a Hungarian psychiatris navigating his own child’ s special needs— they arrive at an unexpected\, poignant resolution. Smart\, wry\, and deeply human\, this novel examines the ways love\, absurdity\, and hope intersect in the messy work of raising a child. \n  \nCarol will be in conversation with Sheila Kohler\, author  of twelve novels\, three collections of short stories\, and a memoir\,  Once We Were Sisters.
