SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of In Love in New York with authors Caitlin Leffel and Jacob Lehman
DESCRIPTION:New York is a city for lovers: In Love in New York guides the reader to the most romantic sights and destinations the city has to offer. Whether you want to watch the sun rise over the East River like Woody and Diane or enjoy a Cary Grant/Deborah Kerr moment at the top of the Empire State Building\, there is no greater city than New York for couples in love. The book begins with “first impressions\,” the iconic New York sights that never fail to dazzle: the skyline (and the best places to view it)\, the most beautiful blocks and neighborhoods\, the famous views (rooftops\, bridges\, riverside parks). Chapters follow on great date ideas\, including destination museums and unusual “dinner-and-a-movie/theater” combinations. For readers ready to commit\, the authors detail the best proposal spots; where to go ring shopping; the coolest places to register for gifts; and information about the legal requirements for marrying in the city (gay and straight)\, including a rundown on the classic City Hall wedding—with the best places to buy flowers and to celebrate afterwards\, naturally. There are also ideas for planning honeymoons and anniversaries. Throughout\, sidebars offer romantic options such as wonderful bars with fireplaces\, the prettiest park benches\, great New York literary and film affairs to inspire your visit\, and romantic day trips within and near the five boroughs. From champagne on the Peninsula rooftop in midtown to ice skating in Bryant Park\, In Love in New York is the perfect gift for any couple dreaming of experiencing the romance of New York.

SUMMARY:Nicholas Carlson reads from his debut book Marissa Mayer and the Fight to Save Yahoo!
DESCRIPTION:When Yahoo hired star Google executive Marissa Mayer to be its CEO in 2012 employees rejoiced. They put posters on the walls throughout Yahoo’s California’s headquarters. On them\, there was Mayer’s face and one word: HOPE. But just more than a year later–on November 4\, 2013–Mayer sat in front those same employees in a huge cafeteria on Yahoo’s campus and took the beating of her life. Her hair wet\, and her tone defensive\, Mayer read and answered a series of employee-posed questions challenging the basic elements of her plan. There was anger in the room – and behind it\, a question: Was Mayer actually going to be able to do this thing? Nicholas Carlson’s fast-paced narrative is the inside story of how Yahoo got into such awful shape in the first place\, Mayer’s controversial rise at Google\, and her desperate fight to save an Internet icon. \nNicholas Carlson is Business Insider’s chief correspondent. His investigative reporting re-wrote the histories of Facebook\, Twitter\, and Groupon. His coverage of Yahoo won Digiday’s award for “Best Editorial Achievement” of the year. Carlson is a frequent guest on CNBC and contributes to the Bloomberg biography series\, Game Changers.

SUMMARY:Paul Strohm reads from his latest Chaucer's Tale: 1386 and the Road to Canterbury
DESCRIPTION:A lively microbiography of Chaucer that tells the story of the tumultuous year that led to the creation of The Canterbury Tales \nIn 1386\, Geoffrey Chaucer endured his worst year\, but began his best poem. The father of English literature did not enjoy in his lifetime the literary celebrity that he has today—far from it. The middle-aged Chaucer was living in London\, working as a midlevel bureaucrat and sometime poet\, until a personal and professional crisis set him down the road leading to The Canterbury Tales. In the politically and economically fraught London of the late fourteenth century\, Chaucer was swept up against his will in a series of disastrous events that would ultimately leave him jobless\, homeless\, separated from his wife\, exiled from his city\, and isolated in the countryside of Kent—with no more audience to hear the poetry he labored over. At the loneliest time of his life\, Chaucer made the revolutionary decision to keep writing\, and to write for a national audience\, for posterity\, and for fame. Brought expertly to life by Paul Strohm\, this is the eye-opening story of the birth one of the most celebrated literary creations of the English language.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the Publication of Nicholas Nixon's The Brown Sisters with MoMA curator Sarah Meister
DESCRIPTION:In August 1974\, Nick Nixon made a photograph of his wife\, Bebe\, and her three sisters. He wasn’t pleased with the result and discarded the negative. In July 1975 he made one that seemed promising enough to keep. At the time\, the Brown sisters were 15 (Mimi)\, 21 (Laurie)\, 23 (Heather)\, and 25 (Bebe). The following June\, Laurie Brown graduated from college\, and Nick made another picture of the four sisters. It was after this second successful picture that the group agreed to gather annually for a portrait\, and settled on the series’ two constants: the sisters would always appear in the same order—from left to right\, Heather\, Mimi\, Bebe\, and Laurie—and they would jointly agree on a single image to represent a given year. Also significant\, and unchanging\, is the fact that each portrait is made with an 8 x 10″ view camera on a tripod and is captured on a black-and-white film negative. This book celebrates the 40th anniversary of the series\, featuring luminous tri-tone reproductions of all 40 portraits.

SUMMARY:Paul Batista reads from his latest The Borzoi Killings
DESCRIPTION:When the 10th richest man in the world is brutally murdered along with his prized Borzoi dogs in a luxurious East Hampton beach house\, only one man is suspected of committing the crime: Juan Suarez\, a handsome\, charismatic—and illegal—Mexican immigrant who worked for the victim. Now\, renowned trail lawyer Raquel Rematti must take on the defense of the man the media has dubbed\, “The Blade of the Hamptons.” Not only must she take on one of the wealthiest families in the country\, she must protect Suarez and herself from ruthless people bent on lethal revenge\, while straddling the dangerous line between concerned involvement and forbidden passion for her client. Set in one of the most exclusive resorts in the world\, The Borzoi Killings mixes all the twists of a sensational trial with all the “dirty little secrets” of the elite Hampton socialite lifestyles—from lavish parties\, drug and sex to corruption and dangerous secret cartels.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of Fifty Shrinks with author Sebastian Zimermann
DESCRIPTION:  \nIn his groundbreaking new book\, Fifty Shrinks\, psychiatrist and photographer Sebastian Zimmermann presents a fascinating\, first of its kind\, photographic survey of the current field of psychiatry and psychology through penetrating portraits of fifty therapists all taken in the most sacred of places – the private office where they see their patients. Ranging from luminaries to newly minted analysts\, Zimmermann’s subjects hail from widely different orientations that collectively reveal the diversity of approaches to therapeutic practice today. \nZimmermann’s photographs in Fifty Shrinks capture the feeling of the rooms in which a powerful process occurs; and through the interviews we begin to understand why the room looks the way it does. It is a glimpse into both the private spaces we rarely see and the minds of the healers who work there. Fifty Shrinks takes one on a profound journey that inspires belief in the possibility for positive change in human behavior and understanding.

SUMMARY:Molly Peacock and Amy Clark read from and discuss their new chapbook A Turn Around the Mansion Grounds: Poems in Conversation & a Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Molly Peacock writes\, “Tucked inside the verb ‘converse’ is ‘verse\,’ of course. Conversari\, the Latin root\, means ‘to turn about with.’ The sense of lines walking and turning in a poem echoes the idea of walking and talking together.” In A Turn Around the Mansion Grounds\, Molly Peacock and Amy M. Clark present sixteen paired poems followed by a conversation about the poems\, the collaboration\, and the craft of poetry. The book is third in Slapering Hol Press’s series of limited-edition collaborative chapbooks featuring the work of an established woman poet alongside an emerging woman poet who was mentored by the former. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCover art by Kara Kosaka

SUMMARY:NYC Launch of I Stand Corrected with Eden Collinsworth
DESCRIPTION:A fascinating fusion of memoir\, manners\, and cultural history from a successful businesswoman well versed in the unique challenges of working in contemporary China. \nDuring the course of a career that has\, quite literarily\, moved her around the world\, no country has fascinated Eden Collinsworth more than China\, where she has borne witness to its profound transformation. After numerous experiences there that might best be called “unusual” by Western standards\, she concluded that despite China’s growing status as a world economy\, businessmen in mainland China were fundamentally uncomfortable in the company of their Western counterparts. This realization spawned an idea to work collaboratively with a major Chinese publisher on a Western etiquette guide\, which went on to became a bestseller and prompted a branch of China’s Ministry of Education to suggest that she create a curriculum for the school system. In I Stand Corrected\, Collinsworth tells the entertaining and insightful story of the year she spent living among the Chinese while writing a book featuring advice on such topics as the non-negotiable issue of personal hygiene\, the rules of the handshake\, and making sense of foreigners. Scrutinizing the kind of etiquette that has guided her own business career\, one which has unfolded in predominately male company\, Collinsworth creates a counterpart that explains Chinese practices and reveals much about our own Western culture. At the same time\, I Stand Corrected is a wry but self-effacing reflection on the peripatetic career she led while single-handedly raising her son\, and here she details the often madcap attempts to strike a balance that was right for them both.

SUMMARY:Geralyn Lucas discusses her new book Then Came Life with Delia Ephron
DESCRIPTION:  \nOne mastectomy\, two C-sections\, three pant’s sizes\, and lots of red lipstick later\, Geralyn Lucas is dealing with the same issues as other women her age. Her miracle babies have grown into a typical tween with a fierce eye-roll for her mom’s failings and a tornado of a little boy who won’t play by his preschool’s rules. Her storybook romance with her husband has spiraled into couples therapy and her perfect-if-demanding corporate job as a TV producer has abandoned her for L.A. When she looks in the mirror at her hard-won wrinkles\, all she wants is . . . Botox.  Celebrating her sweet sixteen cancerversary she’s thankful for her second chance and ready to be daring—but can she survive life’s new ups and downs with the same courage she’s always had? With an infectiously hilarious voice and a true sense of empowerment\, Geralyn harnesses her fighting spirit to live life loudly and lustily\, and to grab on to all the moments that might never have happened. Knowing she can only pedal forward\, she mines every day for boldness\, joy\, and gratitude\, and eventually falls in love with life again. Then Came Life is not just for cancer survivors; it’s for life survivors—a call to rediscover the resilience and optimism it takes to reinvent yourself at any age.

SUMMARY:NYC Launch of Landslide with author Jonathan Darman
DESCRIPTION:In this riveting work of narrative nonfiction\, Jonathan Darman tells the story of two giants of American politics\, Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan\, and shows how\, from 1963 to 1966\, these two men—the same age\, and driven by the same heroic ambitions—changed American politics forever. The liberal and the conservative. The deal-making arm twister and the cool communicator. The Texas rancher and the Hollywood star. Opposites in politics and style\, Johnson and Reagan shared a defining impulse: to set forth a grand story of America\, a story in which he could be the hero. In the tumultuous days after the Kennedy assassination\, Johnson and Reagan each\, in turn\, seized the chance to offer the country a new vision for the future. Bringing to life their vivid personalities and the anxious mood of America in a radically transformative time\, Darman shows how\, in promising the impossible\, Johnson and Reagan jointly dismantled the long American tradition of consensus politics and ushered in a new era of fracture. History comes to life in Darman’s vivid\, fly-on-the wall storytelling. Even as Johnson publicly revels in his triumphs\, we see him grow obsessed with dark forces he believes are out to destroy him\, while his wife\, Lady Bird\, urges her husband to put aside his paranoia and see the world as it really is. And as the war in Vietnam threatens to overtake his presidency\, we witness Johnson desperately struggling to compensate with ever more extravagant promises for his Great Society. On the other side of the country\, Ronald Reagan\, a fading actor years removed from his Hollywood glory\, gradually turns toward a new career in California politics. We watch him delivering speeches to crowds who are desperate for a new leader. And we see him wielding his well-honed instinct for timing\, waiting for Johnson’s majestic promises to prove empty before he steps back into the spotlight\, on his long journey toward the presidency. From Johnson’s election in 1964\, the greatest popular-vote landslide in American history\, to the pivotal 1966 midterms\, when Reagan burst forth onto the national stage\, Landslide brings alive a country transformed—by riots\, protests\, the rise of television\, the shattering of consensus—and the two towering personalities whose choices in those moments would reverberate through the country for decades to come.

SUMMARY:Deborah Halber discusses her debut The Skeleton Crew
DESCRIPTION:Solving cold cases from the comfort of your living room…The Skeleton Crew provides an entree into the gritty and tumultuous world of Sherlock Holmes–wannabes who race to beat out law enforcement—and one another—at matching missing persons with unidentified remains. In America today\, upwards of forty thousand people are dead and unaccounted for. These murder\, suicide\, and accident victims\, separated from their names\, are being adopted by the bizarre online world of amateur sleuths. \nIt’s DIY CSI. \nThe web sleuths pore over facial reconstructions (a sort of Facebook for the dead) and other online clues as they vie to solve cold cases and tally up personal scorecards of dead bodies. The Skeleton Crew delves into the macabre underside of the Internet\, the fleeting nature of identity\, and how even the most ordinary citizen with a laptop and a knack for puzzles can reinvent herself as a web sleuth. \n\nJoin author Deborah Halber and former NYPD detective Joe Giacalone http://joegiacalone.net/ at a conversation about how amateur sleuths using the Internet are solving cold cases involving unidentified remains at the official NYC launch of THE SKELETON CREW: How Amateur Sleuths Are Solving America’s Coldest Cases.

SUMMARY:Chris Beha reads from his latest Arts and Entertainments
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Beha delivers a cutting send-up of our cultural obsession with celebrity—a deliciously witty\, and ultimately tender\, novel about the absurdity of fame and the complexity of love sure to appeal to fans of Maria Semple and Jess Walter. \nA sharp-edged satire with heart\, Arts & Entertainments is the story of Handsome Eddie Hartley who\, at thirty-three\, has forgone dreams of an acting career for the reality of life as a drama teacher at a boys’ prep school. But when Eddie and his wife\, Susan\, discover they cannot have children\, it is one disappointment too many. Weighted down with debt\, his wife’s mounting unhappiness\, and his own deepening sense of failure\, Eddie is confronted with an alluring solution when an old friend-turned-web-impresario suggests Eddie sell a sex tape he made with an ex-girlfriend\, now a wildly popular television star. Overcoming his initial moral qualms\, Eddie figures that in an era when any publicity is good publicity\, the tape won’t cause any harm—a decision that will have disastrous consequences and propel him straight into the glaring spotlight he once thought he craved. A hilariously biting and incisive take-down of our culture’s monstrous obsession with fame\, Arts & Entertainments is also a poignant and humane portrait of a young man’s belated coming-of-age\, the complications of love\, and the surprising ways in which the most meaningful lives often turn out to be the ones we least expected to lead.

SUMMARY:Kate White reads from Eyes on You
DESCRIPTION:From New York Times bestselling author Kate White comes a riveting psychological suspense in which a media star must battle a malevolent enemy who may be disturbingly close to her. After losing her on-air job two years ago\, television host Robin Trainer has fought her way back and now she’s hotter than ever. With her new show climbing in the ratings and her first book a bestseller\, she’s being dubbed a media double threat. But suddenly\, things begin to go wrong. Small incidents at first: a nasty note left in her purse; her photo shredded. But the obnoxious quickly becomes threatening when the foundation the makeup artist uses burns Robin’s face. It wasn’t an accident—someone had deliberately doctored with the product. An adversary with a dark agenda wants to hurt Robin\, and the clues point to someone she works with every day. While she frantically tries to put the pieces together and unmask this hidden foe\, it becomes terrifyingly clear that the person responsible isn’t going to stop until Robin loses everything that matters to her . . . including her life.

SUMMARY:Ari Goldman reads from The Late Starters Orchestra
DESCRIPTION:If you thought a fiddler on a roof was in a precarious position\, imagine what happens when a middle-aged professor with a bad back takes up the cello. Ari Goldman hasn’t played in twenty-five years\, but he’s decided to give the cello one last chance. First he secures a seat in his eleven-year-old son’s youth orchestra\, and then he’s ready for the big time: the Late Starters Orchestra of New York City—a bona fide amateur string orchestra for beginning or recently returning adult players. \nWe accompany Goldman to LSO rehearsals (their motto is “If you think you can play\, you can”) and sit in on his son’s Suzuki lessons (where we find out that children do indeed learn differently from adults). And we wonder whether Goldman will be good enough to perform at his next birthday party. Coming to the rescue is the ghost of Goldman’s very first cello teacher\, Mr. J\, who continues to inspire and guide him—about music and more—through this enchanting midlife journey.

SUMMARY:Joanna Rakoff reads from My Salinger Year
DESCRIPTION:At 23\, after leaving graduate school to pursue her dreams of becoming a poet\, Joanna Rakoff moves to New York City and takes a job as assistant to the storied literary agent of J. D. Salinger. She spends her days in the plush\, wood-paneled agency\, where Dictaphones and typewriters still prevail and old-time agents doze at their desks in the late afternoon\, and at night she goes home to the tiny\, threadbare Williamsburg apartment she shares with her socialist boyfriend. Precariously balanced between glamour and poverty\, surrounded by titanic personalities\, and struggling to trust her own artistic talent\, Joanna is tasked with responding to Salinger’s voluminous fan mail. But as she reads the deeply candid letters from his fans\, she finds herself abandoning the agency’s form letter and writing her own responses. Over the course of the year\, she finds her own voice by acting as Salinger’s\, on her own dangerous and wonderful terms. \nJoanna Rakoff paints a vibrant portrait of a bright\, hungry young woman moving through a heady and much-longed for world\, trying to square romantic aspirations with burgeoning self-awareness\, the idea of a life with life itself. My Salinger Year is a graceful\, deeply moving literary fairytale and the coming-of-age story of a talented young writer.

SUMMARY:Lauren Willig reads from her latest That Summer
DESCRIPTION:2009: When Julia Conley hears that she has inherited a house outside London from an unknown great-aunt\, she assumes it’s a joke. She hasn’t been back to England since the car crash that killed her mother when she was six\, an event she remembers only in her nightmares. But when she arrives at Herne Hill to sort through the house—with the help of her cousin Natasha and sexy antiques dealer Nicholas—bits of memory start coming back. And then she discovers a pre-Raphaelite painting\, hidden behind the false back of an old wardrobe\, and a window onto the house’s shrouded history begins to open… \n1849: Imogen Grantham has spent nearly a decade trapped in a loveless marriage to a much older man\, Arthur. The one bright spot in her life is her step-daughter\, Evie\, a high-spirited sixteen year old who is the closest thing to a child Imogen hopes to have. But everything changes when three young painters come to see Arthur’s collection of medieval artifacts\, including Gavin Thorne\, a quiet man with the unsettling ability to read Imogen better than anyone ever has. When Arthur hires Gavin to paint her portrait\, none of them can guess what the hands of fate have set in motion. \nFrom modern-day England to the early days of the Preraphaelite movement\, Lauren Willig’s That Summer takes readers on an un-put-downable journey through a mysterious old house\, a hidden love affair\, and one woman’s search for the truth about her past—and herself.

SUMMARY:Michael Craven reads from his latest novel The Detective & the Pipe Girl
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nIn the vein of Harlan Coben\, Robert B. Parker\, and Carl Hiaasen comes a richly atmospheric\, wildly original\, and fast-paced mystery introducing the unforgettable P.I. John Darvelle—set against the magnetic allure of Los Angeles. Private detective John Darvelle is a man of specific tastes—simple design\, smart women\, cheap American beer. He’s a man of specific opinions—drive a car nobody can remember\, avoid brunch at all costs\, and don’t live in Brentwood.

What starts as an easy assignment soon has Darvelle plunging deep into the hidden world of Hollywood’s elite. A twisting\, turning journey puts him face-to-face with the LAPD\, a ruthless underground crime operation\, and a cold-blooded killer. It’s the case of a lifetime . . . that could end his life.

SUMMARY:Meryl Gordon reads from The Phantom of Fifth Avenue
DESCRIPTION:Born in 1906\, Huguette Clark grew up in her family’s 121-room Beaux Arts mansion in New York and was one of the leading celebrities of her day. Her father William Andrews Clark\, was a copper magnate\, the second richest man in American\, and not above bribing his way into the Senate. Huguette attended the coronation of King George V. And at twenty-two with a personal fortune of $50 million to her name\, she married a Princeton man and childhood friend William MacDonald Gower. Two-years later the couple divorced. After a series of failed romances\, Huguette began to withdraw from society–first living with her mother in a kind of Grey Gardens isolation then as a modern-day Miss Havisham\, spending her days in a vast apartment overlooking Central Park\, eating crackers and watching The Flintstones with only servants for company. All her money and all her real estate could not protect her in her later life from being manipulated by shady hangers-on and hospitals that were only too happy to admit (and bill) a healthy woman. But what happened to Huguette that turned a vivacious\, young socialite into a recluse? And what was her life like inside that gilded\, copper cage?

SUMMARY:Ava Chin reads from her debut Eating Wildly
DESCRIPTION:In this touching and informative memoir about foraging for food in New York City\, Ava Chin finds sustenance…and so much more. Urban foraging is the new frontier of foraging for foods\, and it’s all about eating better\, healthier\, and more sustainably\, no matter where you live. Time named foraging the “latest obsession of haute cuisine.” And while foraging may be the latest foodie trend\, the quest to connect with food and nature is timeless and universal. Ava Chin\, aka the “Urban Forager\,” is an experienced master of the quest. Raised in Queens\, New York\, by a single mother and loving grandparents\, Chin takes off on an emotional journey to make sense of her family ties and romantic failures when her beloved grandmother dies. She retreats into the urban wilds\, where parks and backyards provide not only rare and delicious edible plants\, but a wellspring of wisdom. As the seasons turn\, Chin begins to view her life with new “foraging eyes\,” experiencing the world as a place of plenty and variety\, where every element—from flora to fauna to fungi—is interconnected and interdependent. Her experiences in nature put her on a path to self-discovery\, leading to reconciliation with her family and finding true love. \nDivided into chapters devoted to a variety of edible/medicinal plants\, with recipes and culinary information\, Eating Wildly will stir your emotions and enliven your taste buds—a moving memoir about the importance of family\, relationships\, and food
