SUMMARY:Sean Pidgeon reads from his debut Finding Camlann
DESCRIPTION:A dramatic find at Stonehenge and another\, quieter discovery in the Bodleian Library set in motion a riveting scholarly detective story and a romance\, unfolding across a rich historical landscape evoked by the secret places and half-forgotten legends of the British countryside. \nArchaeologist Donald Gladstone knows there is no solid evidence that King Arthur ever existed. And yet medieval tales of this legendary warrior must have found their inspiration somewhere\, and Donald is determined to discover their true source. A chance encounter with the beguiling Julia Llewellyn\, a gifted linguist working at the Oxford English Dictionary\, sets them both on the trail of elusive clues embedded in an old Welsh battle poem. Their quest will intersect in unforeseen ways with their own troubled lives and will lead them at last to a deeper understanding of the origins of Arthur. \nSean Pidgeon is a reference publisher at John Wiley & Sons. Born and raised in the UK\, he now lives in New Jersey with his American wife and children.

SUMMARY:Juliann Garey reads from her debut Too Bright to Hear Too Loud to See
DESCRIPTION:In her tour-de-force first novel\, Juliann Garey takes us inside the restless mind\, ravaged heart\, and anguished soul of Greyson Todd\, a successful Hollywood studio executive who leaves his wife and young daughter and for a decade travels the world giving free reign to the bipolar disorder he’s been forced to keep hidden for almost 20 years. The novel intricately weaves together three timelines: the story of Greyson’s travels (Rome\, Israel\, Santiago\, Thailand\, Uganda); the progressive unraveling of his own father seen through Greyson’s eyes as a child; and the intimacies and estrangements of his marriage. The entire narrative unfolds in the time it takes him to undergo twelve 30-second electroshock treatments in a New York psychiatric ward. This is a literary page-turner of the first order\, and a brilliant inside look at mental illness. \nJuliann Garey has sold original screenplays and television pilots to Sony Pictures\, NBC\, CBS\, Columbia TriStar Television and Lifetime TV. As a journalist she has edited and written for publications including Marie Claire\, Glamour\, More\, Entertainment Weekly\, Elle\, New York Magazine\, The Los Angeles Times and The Huffington Post. She has received fellowships in fiction writing at The Virginia Center for the Creative Arts and The Vermont Studio Center. Garey is a graduate of Yale University and the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism. Too Bright To Hear Too Loud To See is her first novel.

SUMMARY:Lindsay Stern reads from her debut novel
DESCRIPTION:“Town of Shadows is deeply moving\, darkly imaginative and delightfully weird.  It’s Thornton Wilder crossed with Tim Burton and David Lynch. Stern’s passion for language is infectious; she’s in love with words\, and by the end of this brilliant novella\, you’ll be in love too. A remarkable debut.” \n— Patricia Morrisroe\, author of Mapplethorpe: A Biography\, and Wide Awake: A Memoir of  Insomnia \n“Enter the Town of Shadows\, where noise is ‘the color of rain\,’ and the self is a ‘hidden crowd.’ Indeed like shadows\, the town’s inhabitants are elusive—slipping in and out of mirrors\, wandering down secret corridors of the mind\, hiding in the spines of houses—and perpetually at risk of disappearing or being ‘deleted.’ Lindsay Stern’s brilliant\, urgent vignettes depict a people struggling to make sense of the limits of language and time. A dark and fascinating debut.” \n— Hanna Andrews\, American Poet

SUMMARY:Jim Sterba reads from his new book Nature Wars
DESCRIPTION:This may be hard to believe but it is very likely that more people live in closer proximity to more wild animals\, birds and trees in the eastern United States today than anywhere on the planet at any time in history.  For nature lovers\, this should be wonderful news — unless\, perhaps\, you are one of more than 4\,000 drivers who will hit a deer today\, your child’s soccer field is carpeted with goose droppings\, coyotes are killing your pets\, the neighbor’s cat has turned your bird feeder into a fast-food outlet\, wild turkeys have eaten your newly-planted seed corn\, beavers have flooded your driveway\, or bears are looting your garbage cans. \nNature Wars offers an eye-opening look at how  Americans lost touch with the natural landscape\, spending 90 percent of their time indoors where nature arrives via television\, films and digital screens in which wild creatures often behave like people or cuddly pets.  All the while our well-meaning efforts to protect animals allowed wild populations to burgeon out of control\, causing damage costing billions\, degrading ecosystems\, and touching off disputes that polarized communities\, setting neighbor against neighbor. Deeply researched\, eloquently written\, counterintuitive and often humorous Nature Wars will be the definitive book on how we created this unintended mess.

SUMMARY:A Book signing for Alison Pace and her new book You Tell Your Dog First
DESCRIPTION:You Tell Your Dog First…About the date you just had…about the questionable results of a medical test…about the good and the bad…about everything. \nFor years\, award-winning author Alison Pace was a dog person without a dog. And then\, she got Carlie—a feisty and fluffy West Highland white terrier. She could weed out bad boyfriends with a sniff of her button-black nose and win the hearts of lifelong friends with an adoring gaze. Suddenly\, Alison had a constant companion and confidante\, who went with her on long morning rambles in Central Park\, on trips to the country and the beach\, and on her search for inner peace\, love\, and happiness. Through Carlie\, Alison found herself connected to the world as never before. \n\nWith her trademark warmth\, wit and humor\, Alison shares her stories…the tales of a dog person who found her dog.

SUMMARY:Robin Marantz Henig and Samantha Henig read from Twentysomething\, Why Do Young Adults Seem Stuck?
DESCRIPTION:What does it mean to be young today? \nIn the summer of 2010\, Robin Marantz Henig wrote a provocative article for the New York Times Magazine called “What Is It About 20-Somethings?” It generated enormous reader response and started a conversation that included both millennials and baby boomers. Now\, working with her millennial daughter Samantha\, she expands the project to give us a full portrait of what it means to be in your twenties today.\nLooking through many lenses\, the Henigs ask whether emerging adulthood has truly become a new rite of passage. They examine the latest neuroscience and psychological research\, the financial pressures young people face now\, changing cultural expectations\, the aftereffects of helicopter parenting\, and the changes that have arisen from social media and all things Internet. Most important\, they have surveyed more than 120 millennials and baby boomers to give voice to both viewpoints of a conversation that is usually one-sided.

SUMMARY:Kathy Kriger reads from Rick's Cafe
DESCRIPTION:For more than 60 years\, tourists visiting Casablanca tried to visit Rick’s Café Americain only to discover that Warner Brothers had built the entire set on a studio back lot. It was a Hollywood fantasy—until Kathy Kriger came along\, that is\, and decided after 9/11 to bring the imaginary gin joint to life. In Rick’s Cafe\, she takes us through souk back alleys\, the Marché Central’s overflowing food stalls\, and the shadowy Moroccan business world\, all while producing\, directing\, casting\, and playing lead actress in her own story. Instead of letters of transit\, she begged for letters of credit; the governor of Casablanca watched her back instead of Captain Renault; and at the piano\, playing “As Time Goes By\,” sits not Sam but Issam. She encountered paper pushers\, absent architects\, dedicated craftsmen\, mad chefs\, and surprising allies. It took over two years\, but Rick’s Café opened in 2004 to rave reviews. Now\, as Captain Renault says to Major Strasser\, “Everybody comes to Rick’s.” Here is how she brought to life the screen legend that has captured the imagination of generations. \nCheck out the trailer: http://youtu.be/iQ4D0uKecfA

SUMMARY:Christine Schutt reads from her new book Prosperous Friends
DESCRIPTION:Described by John Ashbery as “pared down but rich\, dense\, fevered\, exactly right and even eerily beautiful\,” Christine Schutt’s prose has earned her comparisons to Emily Dickinson and Eudora Welty. In her new novel\, Schutt delivers a pitch-perfect\, timeless and original work on the spectacle of love. \nProsperous Friends follows the evolution of a young couple’s marriage as it is challenged by the quandaries of longing and sexual self-discovery. The glamorous and gifted Ned Bourne and his pretty wife\, Isabel\, travel to London\, New York\, and Maine in hopes of realizing their artistic promise\, but their quest for sexual fulfillment is less assured. Past lovers and new infatuations\, doubt and indifference threaten to bankrupt the marriage. The Bournes’ fantasies for their future finally give way to a deepened and mature perspective in the company of an older\, celebrated artist\, Clive Harris\, and his wife\, Dinah\, a poet. With compassionate insight\, Schutt explores the divide between those like Clive and Dinah who seem to prosper in love and those like Ned and Isabel who feel themselves condemned to yearn for it.

SUMMARY:Anka Muhlstein reads from her new book Monsieur Proust's Library
DESCRIPTION:Reading was so important to Marcel Proust that it sometimes seems he was unable to create a personage without a book in hand. Everybody in his work reads: servants and masters\, children and parents\, artists and physicians. The more sophisticated characters find it natural to speak in quotations. Proust made literary taste a means of defining personalities and gave literature an actual role to play in his novels.\nIn this wonderfully entertaining book\, scholar and biographer Anka Muhlstein\, the author of Balzac’s Omelette\, draws out these themes in Proust’s work and life\, thus providing not only a friendly introduction to the momentous In Search of Lost Time\, but also exciting highlights of some of the finest work in French literature.

SUMMARY:Jayne Amelia Larson reads from Her Debut Driving the Saudis
DESCRIPTION:After more than a decade of working in Hollywood\, actress Jayne Amelia Larson found herself out of luck\, out of work\, and out of prospects. Without telling her friends or family\, she took a job as a limousine driver\, thinking that the work might be a good way to dig out of debt while meeting A-list celebrities and important movie moguls. \nWhen she got hired to drive for the Saudi royal family vacationing in Beverly Hills\, Larson thought she’d been handed the golden ticket. She’d heard stories of the Saudis giving $20\,000 tips and Rolex watches to their drivers. But when the family arrived at LAX with millions of dollars in cash—money that they planned to spend over the next couple of weeks—Larson realized that she might be in for the ride of her life. With awestruck humor and deep compassion\, she describes her eye-opening adventures as the only female in a detail of over forty assigned to drive a beautiful Saudi princess\, her family\, and their extensive entourage.

SUMMARY:Bronwen Hruska reads from her debut novel Accelerated
DESCRIPTION:Every afternoon Sean Benning picks up his son\, Toby\, on the marble steps that lead into the prestigious Bradley School. Everything at Bradley is accelerated—3rd graders read at the 6th grade level\, they have labs and facilities to rival most universities\, and the chess champions are the bullies. A single dad and struggling artist\, Sean sticks out like a sore thumb amongst the power-soccer-mom cliques and ladies-who-lunch that congregate on the steps every afternoon. But at least Toby is thriving and getting the best education money can buy. Or is he?\nWhen Sean starts getting pressure from the school to put Toby on medication for ADD\, something smells fishy\, and it isn’t the caviar that was served at last week’s PTA meeting. Toby’s “issues” in school seem\, to Sean\, to be nothing more than normal behavior for an eight-year-old boy. But maybe Sean just isn’t seeing things clearly\, which has been harder and harder to do since Toby’s new teacher\, Jess\, started at Bradley. And the school has Toby’s best interests at heart\, right? But what happens when the pressure to not just keep up\, but to exceed\, takes hold? When things take a tragic turn\, Sean realizes that the price of this  accelerated life is higher than he could have ever imagined. \n  \nBronwen Hruska\, the publisher of Soho Press\, has worked as a journalist and screenwriter for twenty years.\nHer articles have appeared in the New York Times\, the Los Angeles Times\, More Magazine\, Entertainment\n Weekly\, Cosmopolitan\, the Village Voice\, and the San Francisco Chronicle.

SUMMARY:Andrew McCarthy reads from his debut The Longest Way Home
DESCRIPTION:WITH AN IRREPRESSIBLE TASTE for adventure\, candor\, and a vivid sense of place\, award-winning travel writer and actor Andrew McCarthy takes us on a deeply personal journey played out amid some of the world’s most evocative locales.  \nHobbling up the treacherous slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro\, dodging gregarious passengers aboard an Amazonian riverboat\, and trudging through dense Costa Rican rain forests—Andrew takes us on exotic trips to some of the world’s most beautiful places\, but his real journey is one of the spirit. On his soul-searching voyages\, Andrew traces the path from his New Jersey roots\, where acting saved his life—and early fame almost took it away—to his transformation into a leading travel writer. He faces the real costs of his early success and lays bare the evolving nature of his relationships with women. He explores a strained bond with his father\, and how this complex dynamic shapes his own identity as a parent. Andrew charts his journey from ambivalence to confidence\, from infidelity and recklessness to acceptance and a deeper understanding of the internal conflicts of his life.

SUMMARY:Ray Negron and Sally Cook read from Yankee Miracles\, Life with the Boss and the Bronx Bombers
DESCRIPTION:“You don’t have to be a Yankees fan to love Yankee Miracles.”—Yogi Berra \nIf it was not all so true\, you’d think it was a fairy tale. A seventeen-year-old from Queens spray paints graffiti on Yankee Stadium and gets nabbed by George Steinbrenner himself. Contrary to his gruff public image\, the Boss—driven by a compassionate inner voice—reclaims the teen at a time when the Bronx is literally burning. Thus begins the unlikeliest of baseball stories\, one in which Ray Negron is transformed from street kid to batboy and beyond. Befriending many of major league baseball’s greatest stars—Billy Martin\, Reggie Jackson\, Munson\, Mantle\, Catfish\, A-Rod\, Jeter\, even Mrs. Lou Gehrig—Negron ultimately emerges as a dynamic community leader\, dedicating his own life to helping the sick and rescuing generations of city kids from unfulfilled lives. Yankee Miracles is a book about the power of baseball to transform lives\, about all those miracles on 161st Street we never knew were there. \n

SUMMARY:6 PM: Janet Wallach reads from her new book The Richest Woman in America
DESCRIPTION:A captivating biography of America’s first female tycoon\, Hetty Green\, the iconoclast who forged one of the greatest fortunes of her time.\n \nNo woman in the Gilded Age made as much money as Hetty Green. At the time of her death in 1916\, she was worth at least 100 million dollars\, equal to more than 2 billion dollars today. A strong believer in women being financially independent\, she offered valuable lessons for the present times. Abandoned at birth by her neurotic mother\, scorned by her misogynist father\, Hetty set out as a child to prove her value. Following the simple rules of her wealthy Quaker father\, she successfully invested her money and along the way proved to herself that she was wealthy and therefore worthy. \nSet during a period of financial crisis strikingly similar to our current one\, acclaimed author Janet Wallach’s engrossing exploration of a fascinating life revives a rarely-mentioned queen of American finance.

SUMMARY:Tom Reiss reads from his new book The Black Count
DESCRIPTION:By the author of the internationally bestselling biography The Orientalist\, The Black Count brings to life one of history’s great forgotten heroes: a man almost unknown today yet with a personal story that is strikingly familiar.  His swashbuckling exploits appear in The Three Musketeers\, and his triumphs and ultimate tragic fate inspired The Count of Monte Cristo. His name is Alex Dumas.  Father of the novelist Alexandre Dumas\, Alex has become\, through his son’s books\, the model for a captivating modern protagonist: the wronged man in search of justice. \nThe Black Count is simultaneously a riveting adventure story\, a lushly textured evocation of 18th-century France\, and a window into the modern world’s first multi-racial society. But it is also a heartbreaking story of the enduring bonds of love between a father and son.  Drawing on hitherto unknown documents\, letters\, battlefield reports and Dumas’ handwritten prison diary\, The Black Count is a groundbreaking masterpiece of narrative nonfiction.

SUMMARY:Kevin Cook reads from The Last Headbangers
DESCRIPTION:The inside story of the most colorful decade in NFL history—pro football’s raging\, hormonal\, hairy\, druggy\, immortal adolescence. \nBetween the Immaculate Reception in 1972 and The Catch in 1982\, pro football grew up. In 1972\, Steelers star Franco Harris hitchhiked to practice. NFL teams roomed in skanky motels. They played on guts\, painkillers\, legal steroids\, fury\, and camaraderie. A decade later\, Joe Montana’s gleamingly efficient 49ers ushered in a new era: the corporate\, scripted\, multibillion-dollar NFL we watch today. Kevin Cook’s rollicking chronicle of this pivotal decade draws on interviews with legendary players—Harris\, Montana\, Terry Bradshaw\, Roger Staubach\, Ken “Snake” Stabler—to re-create their heroics and off-field carousing. He shows coaches John Madden and Bill Walsh outsmarting rivals as Monday Night Football redefined sports’ place in American life. Celebrating the game while lamenting the physical toll it took on football’s greatest generation\, Cook diagrams the NFL’s transformation from second-tier sport into national obsession.

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.
