SUMMARY:Norah Vincent reads from her first novel Thy Neighbor
DESCRIPTION:At thirty-four\, Nick Walsh is a broken\, deeply cynical man. Since the violent deaths of his parents thirteen years earlier\, he has been living alone in his childhood home in the suburban Midwest\, drinking\, drugging\, and debauching himself into oblivion. A measure of solace is provided by his newly found relationship with Monica\, a mysterious woman who seems to harbor as many secrets as he does. \nObsessed with understanding the circumstances surrounding his parents’ deaths and deranged by his relentless sorrow\, Nick begins a campaign of spying on his neighbors via hidden cameras and microphones he has covertly installed in their houses. As he observes with amusement and disbelief all the strange\, sad\, and terrifying things that his neighbors do to themselves and to one another\, and as he\, in turn\, learns that he is being stalked\, he begins to slowly unravel the shocking truth about how and why his parents died. \nAt once unsettling and moving\, humorous and horrifying\, Thy Neighbor explores the nature of grief\, the potential isolation of suburban life\, and who we really are when we think no one is watching. What readers and critics have admired in Norah Vincent’s nonfiction is completely unleashed in this vivid and provocative novel.

SUMMARY:Jessica Jones reads from Klonopin Lunch: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Gritty. Dirty. Hard-core. Transformative. Funny.  This is the real Sex and the City. \nBy her late twenties\, Jessica Dorfman Jones had dutifully achieved everything she thought she was supposed to: marriage\, law degree\, high-paying job\, nice apartment in Greenwich Village. But she was miserable and felt like she was living a life that wasn’t hers. Desperate to change her status quo and figure out who she really was\, Jessica went about the business of making a change by demolishing the life she knew. She threw her good-girl image aside and set out to unleash the very bad girl she had never before tried to be. \nEmbracing the deliciously debauched world of sex\, drugs\, and rock and roll\, Jessica leaves behind her sweet and well-behaved husband for the ultimate bad-boy guitar player\, starts her own band\, and parties harder than she had ever thought possible. She starts a band\, puts her job in jeopardy\, and causes her friends and family no end of worry with her illicit behavior. And then\, in the midst of her self-created chaos\, the wildest thing of all happens. She figures out who she is\, who she most definitely is not\, and what might\, if she’s lucky\, come next.\n\nKlonopin Lunch is Jessica’s wickedly funny and uncensored journey down the rabbit hole and back out again\, into a life that\, at last\, makes her truly happy.

SUMMARY:Guy Lawson reads from Octopus: Sam Israel\, the Secret Market\, and Wall Street's Wildest Con
DESCRIPTION:Octopus is a real-life thriller that tells the inside story of an audacious hedge fund fraud and the wild search\, by a colorful cast of rogues and schemers\, for a “secret market” beneath the financial market we all know.\n \nSam Israel was a man who seemed to have it all – until the hedge fund he ran\, Bayou\, imploded and he became the target of a nationwide manhunt.  Born into one of America’s most illustrious trading families\, Israel was determined to strike out on his own.  So after apprenticing with one of the greatest hedge fund traders of the 1980’s\, Sam founded his own fund and promised his investors guaranteed profits.  With the proprietary computer program he’d created\, he claimed to be able to predict the future. \nBut his future was already beginning to unravel. \nAfter suffering devastating losses and fabricating fake returns\, Israel knew it was only a matter of time before his real performance would be discovered\, so when a former black-ops intelligence operative told him about a “secret market” run by the Fed\, Israel bet his last $150 million on a chance to make billions. Thus began his year-long adventure in “the Upperworld” — a society populated by clandestine bankers\, shady European nobility\, and spooks issuing cryptic warnings about a mysterious cabal known as the Octopus. \nWhether the “secret market” was real or a con\, Israel was all in – and as the pressures mounted and increasingly sinister violence crept into his life\, he struggled to break free of the Octopus’ tentacles.

SUMMARY:Central Park: An Anthology edited by Andrew Blauner
DESCRIPTION:A wild night outdoors with Bill Buford. A football tradition with Nathaniel Rich. A jog around the reservoir with Mark Helprin as he “protects” Jacqueline Onassis from imagined harm. The 843 carefully planned acres of Central Park have not only crept into the hearts of its 38 million annual visitors\, but also into the life and work of a diverse array of writers who come to revel in its natural remedy for urban chaos. \n\nIn Central Park\, a dozen exclusive pieces commissioned especially for this book are accompanied by a handful of beloved classics. Francine Prose reflects on open-air performances by Nina Simone and James Brown; Jonathan Safran Foer writes a creation myth of the park; Buzz Bissinger meditates on how the park defined his early life; and Marie Winn definitively answers Holden Caulfield’s question of where the ducks go when the ponds freeze over. \nThis vibrant collection presents Central Park in all its diverse glory\, with an ode on every page to a fifty-one-block swath of special New York magic. A must-read for the thousands who consider the park their own\, and a keepsake for the many more who visit\, it will be a standard for years to come. \nThis event will feature brief readings from contributors Marie Winn\, Adam Gopnik and Alec Wilkinson.

SUMMARY:Anouk Markovits\, I Am Forbidden
DESCRIPTION:Sweeping from the Central European countryside just before World War II to Paris to contemporary Williamsburg\, Brooklyn\, I Am Forbidden brings to life four generations of one Satmar family. \nOpening in 1939 Transylvania\, five-year-old Josef witnesses the murder of his family by the Romanian Iron Guard and is rescued by a Gentile maid to be raised as her own son. Five years later\, Josef rescues a young girl\, Mila\, after her parents are killed while running to meet the Rebbe they hoped would save them. Josef helps Mila reach Zalman Stern\, a leader in the Satmar community\, in whose home Mila is raised as a sister to Zalman’s daughter\, Atara. As the two girls mature\, Mila’s faith intensifies\, while her beloved sister Atara discovers a world of books and learning that she cannot ignore. With the rise of communism in central Europe\, the family moves to Paris\, to the Marais\, where Zalman tries to raise his children apart from the city in which they live. \nWhen the two  girls come of age\, Mila marries within the faith\, while Atara continues to question fundamentalist doctrine. The different choices the two sisters makes force them apart until a dangerous secret threatens to banish them from the only community they’ve ever known. \nA beautifully crafted\, emotionally gripping story of what happens when unwavering love\, unyielding law\, and centuries of tradition collide\, I Am Forbidden announces the arrival of an extraordinarily gifted new voice and opens a startling window on a world long closed to most of us\, until now. \n  \n \nANOUK MARKOVITS grew up in France. She attended a religious seminary in England instead of high school. After she left home at the age of nineteen to avoid an arranged marriage\, she attended Columbia University. She has a Master of Architecture from Harvard and a PhD in Romance Studies from Cornell. She has worked as an architect and as a set designer on major films including The Unbearable Lightness of Being. She lives in New York. Her first novel\, Pur Coton\, was written in French. I Am Forbidden is her English-language debut and will be available on May 8\, 2012.

SUMMARY:Thai Jones reads from More Powerful Than Dynamite\, Radicals\, Plutocrats\, Progressives\, and New York's Year of Anarchy.
DESCRIPTION:In the year that saw the start of World War I\, the United States was itself on the verge of revolution: industrial depression in the east\, striking coal miners in Colorado\, and increasingly tense relations with Mexico. “There was blood in the air that year\,” a witness later recalled\, “there truly was.” \nIn New York\, the year had opened with bright expectations\, but 1914 quickly tumbled into disillusionment and violence. For John Purroy Mitchel\, the city’s new “boy mayor\,” the trouble started in January\, when a crushing winter caused homeless shelters to overflow. By April\, anarchist throngs paraded past industrialists’ mansions\, and tens of thousands filled Union Square demanding “Bread or Revolution.” Then\, on July 4\, 1914\, a detonation destroyed a seven-story Harlem tenement. It was the largest explosion the city had ever known. Among the dead were three bombmakers; incited by anarchist Alexander Berkman\, they had been preparing to dynamite the estate of John D. Rockefeller Jr.\, son of a plutocratic dynasty and widely vilified for a massacre of his company’s striking workers in Colorado earlier that spring. \nMore Powerful Than Dynamite charts how anarchist anger\, progressive idealism\, and plutocratic paternalism converged in that July explosion. Its cast ranges from celebrated figures such as Emma Goldman\, Upton Sinclair\, and Andrew Carnegie to the fascinating and heretofore little known: Frank Tannenbaum\, a homeless teenager who dared to lead his followers into the city’s churches; police inspector Max Schmittberger\, too honest for his department and too crooked for everyone else; and Becky Edelsohn\, a young anarchist known for her red tights and for spitting in millionaires’ faces. Historian and journalist Thai Jones creates a fascinating portrait of a city on the edge of chaos coming to terms with modernity.

And it is Ben Taylor’s remarkable ability to meld these contradictions into a whole that makes this the exciting and original book it is. He takes his stroll around the bay with the acute sensitivity of a lover\, the good humor of a friend\, and the wisdom of a seeker who has immersed himself in all aspects of this contrapuntal culture. His curiosity leads him to many byways\, both real and metaphoric\, and his passion for this ancient city and its people becomes\, in his graceful prose and amusing anecdotes\, irresistibly contagious.

SUMMARY:2 new books by Bill Doyle
DESCRIPTION:Fast on the fins of Attack of the Shark-Headed Zombie is Bill Doyle’s second tale of magic and mayhem. \nMr. Cigam has a new job for Keats and Henry. All they have to do is capture one little slug in the Purple Rabbit Supermarket. Sounds easy\, right? Wrong! First\, the slug isn’t so little. Second\, there’s way more than just one. And to top it off\, the supermarket has gone all kooky—Mr. Cigam’s mixed-up magic has swirled down every aisle! There are pests in the produce and an angry snowman in frozen foods. Can Keats and Henry clean up this supermarket mess? \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWatching this team of misfit monsters is a scream! \nAll Karl wants to do is make the Junior Club Werewolves team. But when tryouts turn into a monster letdown\, Karl decides to put together a squad made up of other creatures who didn’t make their own teams. A vampire\, a zombie\, a blob\, and others all decide to play together. With their first game coming up and almost no time to practice\, this group of misfits must use the qualities that make them special to overcome the odds and win.

SUMMARY:Jamie Saul reads from The First Warm Evening of the Year
DESCRIPTION:“The first time I saw Marian Ballantine she looked like a burst of bittersweet among the winter branches . . .” \nAnd so begins a tale of love lost and found\, the rekindling of a passion for life that two people discover with each other\, and the complex dynamics of family and friendship. \nGeoffrey Tremont is untroubled by his neat\, contented bachelor life in bustling New York City\, filled with sophisticated friends\, an undemanding lover devoted to her own career\, and his wise brother\, a psychiatrist who is the only one who sees and understands him completely—just the way Geoffrey wants it. On an ordinary day\, Geoffrey arrives home to find a letter awaiting him with a postmark from an unfamiliar town: Shady Grove\, New York. An old friend has named him the executor of her estate. Twenty years ago\, in college\, Geoffrey and Laura Welles had been each other’s confidant; as their lives diverged\, they went their separate ways. Now\, she’s reached out of the past to ask him a final favor. Laura’s death has also brought her brother\, Simon\, to Geoffrey’s doorstep. With his sister gone\, Simon has no one but her old friend Geoffrey with whom to settle past grievances. \nWith Simon in tow\, Geoffrey travels up to Laura’s hometown—the place she chose to live her final years—where he meets Marian Ballantine. A widow living in the shadow of an idyllic marriage\, and now grieving the loss of her best friend\, Marian knows a lot about Geoffrey. Laura often spoke of him\, she tells him\, and though he’s flattered\, he’s also thrown off balance. From the moment he first sees her\, Geoffrey instinctively knows this attractive\, plainspoken woman has the power to upend his cool\, compartmentalized life. What Marian knows is that life comes with no guarantees\, no promises of lasting happiness\, and although she finds herself unsettled by this persistent\, compelling man\, she’s unwilling to trade her hard-won\, quotidian existence for an indefinite future. Faced with the decision to embrace the unknown or retreat to the safety of the familiar\, they will both have to discover the courage it takes to tumble into the abyss of love. \nThe First Warm Evening of the Year is a gripping and evocative novel that resonates on every page with the joys and pains of being alive. It is a novel that more than satisfies the promise of the author’s debut\, Light of Day\, about which the Indianapolis Star said\, “Saul’s ability to create deep and interesting characters is a strength that no doubt will surface time and again in future works\,” and prompted Bookreporter.com to praise Saul’s “sensitivity and rare understanding of the human psyche.” \n

Having survived a turbulent childhood\, Kara understands that life could’ve just as easily gone another way . . . and even if she isn’t gliding through the trials of lost library books\, entitled customers and routine date nights\, at least she’s not sipping a Dewar’s all day like her mother did. \nBut then Kara unexpectedly encounters paintings by her now-famous college boyfriend just as she’s beginning to suspect that her daughter Henny’s difficulties may be the sign of something serious\, and all of her past decisions are thrown into dramatic relief.

SUMMARY:Paul Grossman reads from Children of Wrath
DESCRIPTION:Willi Kraus\, the celebrated WWI detective\, returns in this prequel story about how he became the most famous Jewish Detective in Germany in the days of the Weimar Republic. \nIn Children of Wrath Willi Kraus tackles the case of the Kinderfresser\, the vicious Child-Eater of Berlin.  Turning the clock back two years from The Sleepwalkers\, the story starts out in the fall of 1929\, the last days of prosperity.  Berlin is deep in the throes of a giddy rush to forget its troubled past.  But the same day the stock market crashes in New York\, the dark underside of the German capital flushes to the surface in the form of a burlap sack spewed by floodwaters from the city sewer system.  When Willi is called to investigate and discovers the sack is full of children’s bones with teeth marks on them–and a bible with a single phrase circled in red: children of wrath–he fears he’s run into “something darker than he’s ever known.” \n

SUMMARY:Growing up Patton: Reflections on Heroes\, History\, and Family Wisdom by Benjamin Patton
DESCRIPTION:This unique memoir by the grandson of General George S. Patton Jr. offers a rare and intimate look into the life of the legendary man and the legacy he passed down from one generation to the next. It includes never before published letters between General George S. Patton and his son during WWII\, as well as never before published family photographs. \nThe grandson of the iconic World War II general George S. Patton Jr.\, documentary filmmaker Benjamin Patton explores his family legacy and shares the inspirational wit and wisdom that his grandfather bestowed upon his only son and namesake. \nIn revealing personal correspondence written between 1939 and 1945\, General Patton Jr. espoused his ideals to Benjamin’s father\, then a cadet at West Point. Dispensing advice on duty\, heroism and honor with the same candor he used ordering the Third Army across Europe\, the letters show Patton to be as dynamic a parent as a military commander. \nFollowing in those famous footsteps\, Benjamin’s father became a respected and decorated hero of both the Korean and Vietnam wars. Ironically\, as he rose to Major General\, he also proved himself just as brave\, flamboyant\, flawed and inspiring as his father had been. \nA study of a great American original\, Growing Up Patton features some of the pivotal figures in Benjamin’s father’s life\, including Creighton Abrams\, the WWII hero who became his greatest mentor; Charley Watkins\, a daredevil helicopter pilot in Vietnam; Manfred Rommel\, the son of German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel; Joanne Patton\, the author’s mother and a resourceful fighter in her own right; and Benjamin’s mentally challenged brother\, George. Growing Up Patton explores how the Patton cultural legacy lives on\, and in the end\, reveals how knowing the history of our heritage-famous or not-can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves.

SUMMARY:Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of My Hasidic Roots by Deborah Feldman
DESCRIPTION:In the tradition of Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Infidel and Carolyn Jessop’s Escape\, Unorthodox is a captivating story about a young woman determined to live her own life at any cost. \nThe Satmar sect of Hasidic Judaism is as mysterious as it is intriguing to outsiders. In this arresting memoir\, Deborah Feldman reveals what life is like trapped within a religious tradition that values silence and suffering over individual freedoms. \nThe child of a mentally disabled father and a mother who abandoned the community while her daughter was still a toddler\, Deborah was raised by her strictly religious grandparents\, Bubby and Zeidy. Along with a rotating cast of aunts and uncles\, they enforced customs with a relentless emphasis on rules that governed everything from what Deborah could wear and to whom she could speak\, to what she was allowed to read. As she grew from an inquisitive little girl to an independent-minded young woman\, stolen moments reading about the empowered literary characters of Jane Austen and Louisa May Alcott helped her to imagine an alternative way of life. She had no idea how to seize this dream that seemed to beckon to her from the skyscrapers of Manhattan\, but she was determined to find a way. The tension between Deborah’s desires and her responsibilities as a good Satmar girl grew more explosive until\, at the age of seventeen\, she found herself trapped in a sexually and emotionally dysfunctional marriage to a man she had met for only thirty minutes before they became engaged. As a result\, she experienced debilitating anxiety that was exacerbated by the public shame of having failed to immediately consummate her marriage and thus serve her husband. But it wasn’t until she had a child at nineteen that Deborah realized more than just her own future was at stake\, and that\, regardless of the obstacles\, she would have to forge a path—for herself and her son—to happiness and freedom.

This history pays tribute to the young commanders on either side\, a vanishing breed who would come to be standard bearers of courage and fortitude\, and would be immortalized in words by the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
