SUMMARY:Launch event for Marilyn Olin and her debut Mom\, Mac & Cheese\, Please!
DESCRIPTION:A little girl is delighted that her mother has stopped working\, but when her mom starts attending cooking school\, the girl soon realizes it may not be so great after all. The kitchen has been overtaken by outlandish smells and bizarre concoctions. Day after day\, horrendous dishes are presented for the poor child. Her mother’s Barbequed Brains of a Bee and French Fried Feet of a Frog are to be grotesquely expected on Mondays and Wednesdays. Each meal brings about a horrendous side effect for the girl\, who is just waiting for a normal meal again. \nSoon\, enough is enough! The little girl has no choice but to investigate where her mother has been learning to make such repulsive cuisine. Who\, or what\, could be behind these terrible recipes? When the truth is uncovered\, it may finally put an end to all of this! This playful tale\, with gross-out text and whimsical illustrations\, is sure to make kids and parents giggle during reading time\, while reinforcing reading skills with fun rhymes and repetitions.

SUMMARY:Dani Shapiro reads from her latest Still Writing
DESCRIPTION:From the best-selling author of Devotion and Slow Motion comes a witty\, heartfelt\, and practical look at the exhilarating and challenging process of storytelling. At once a memoir\, meditation on the artistic process\, and advice on craft\, Still Writing is an intimate and eloquent companion to living a creative life. \nThrough a blend of deeply personal stories about what formed her as a writer\, tales from other authors\, and a searching look at her own creative process\, Shapiro offers her gift to writers everywhere: an elegant guide of hard-won wisdom and advice for staying the course. “The writer’s life requires courage\, patience\, empathy\, openness. It requires the ability to be alone with oneself. Gentle with oneself. To be disciplined\, and at the same time\, take risks.” Writers—and anyone with an artistic temperament—will find inspiration and comfort in these pages. Offering lessons learned over twenty years of teaching and writing\, Shapiro brings her own revealing insights to weave an indispensable almanac for modern writers. \nLike Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird\, Virginia Woolf’s A Writer’s Diary\, and Stephen King’s On Writing\, Dani Shapiro’s Still Writing is a lodestar for aspiring scribes and an eloquent memoir of the writing life.

SUMMARY:Steven G. Mandis\, author of What Happened to Goldman Sachs\, in conversation with Justin Fox
DESCRIPTION:This is the story of the slow evolution of Goldman Sachs—addressing why and how the firm changed from an ethical standard to a legal one as it grew to be a leading global corporation.  In What Happened to Goldman Sachs\, Steven G. Mandis uncovers the forces behind what he calls Goldman’s “organizational drift.” Drawing from his firsthand experience; sociological research; analysis of SEC\, congressional\, and other filings; and a wide array of interviews with former clients\, detractors\, and current and former partners\, Mandis uncovers the pressures that forced Goldman to slowly drift away from the very principles on which its reputation was built.  Mandis evaluates what made Goldman Sachs so successful in the first place\, how it responded to pressures to grow\, why it moved away from the values and partnership culture that sustained it for so many years\, what forces accelerated this drift\, and why insiders can’t—or won’t—recognize this crucial change. \nCombining insightful analysis with engaging storytelling\, Mandis has written an insider’s history that offers invaluable perspectives to business leaders interested in understanding and managing organizational drift in their own firms.

SUMMARY:Jacob Appel reads from his U.S. debut The Biology of Luck
DESCRIPTION:Odd-job queen Starshine Hart is about to go on somebody else’s perfect date. At twenty-nine\, the usually carefree Starshine has realized that it is easier to start sleeping with a man than to stop. Her lovers include one of the last underground members of the Weathermen\, and the dilettante heir to a lawn chair magnate. Both men have staked their romantic future on her. Her only respite is her impending dinner with the non-threatening but unattractive tour guide Larry Bloom. But Larry\, too\, has a stake in her future. He has written a book about their impending dinner in which he fantasizes about Starshine’s life on the day he wins her heart. \nThe Biology of Luck juxtaposes moments from Larry’s guided tour of New York City on the June day of his “dream date\,” with excerpts from the novel in which he imagines Starshine’s concurrent escapades. This inventive novel-within-a-novel structure weaves a highly imaginative love story across New York’s five boroughs. Provocative\, funny and keenly observed\, Appel’s imagined pilgrimage through the underbelly of Gotham will establish him as a bold new voice in contemporary American fiction.

SUMMARY:Victoria Redel reads from her latest collection of stories Make Me Do Things
DESCRIPTION:In eleven original\, surprising and deliciously dark stories\, Victoria Redel moves effortlessly between men’s and women’s perspectives in stories that explore marriage\, divorce and parenthood. A newly divorced mother stumbles her way back into single life. A young man and his girlfriend clean out his dead mother’s overstuffed home. A woman struggles to hide her affair from a doting husband and inquisitive daughter. A man descends into a drug-fueled dream as he imagines losing his pregnant wife to a historical\, nineteenth century figure. Redel indelibly captures the ways we love\, the ways we yearn and the ways we sabotage each. Throughout the collection\, children struggle to make sense of the adult world’s uncertainties as husbands and wives\, mothers and fathers\, find themselves pressed up against their own limits\, “the exaltations and treasons of one’s own mothy heart.” Redel has again done what Grace Paley said of Redel’s first collection\, “Only a poet could have written this prose. Only a storyteller could keep a reader turning these pages so greedily.”

SUMMARY:Christine Miscione reads from her debut Auxiliary Skins
DESCRIPTION:Existing somewhere in that chasm between bodily function and souledness\, Christine Miscione’s debut collection Auxiliary Skins illumines all that’s perilous\, beautiful and raw about being human. From the surgically gutted\, to the racially transformed\, to a story of self-excision that won Miscione the Exile/Vanderbilt (Carter V. Cooper) Award for short fiction – this collection is chock-full of razor blades masquerading as lemon tarts and everything in between. \n

SUMMARY:Joanne Lipman reads from her new book Strings Attached
DESCRIPTION:Everybody has that one person who changes his or her life forever. For award-winning journalist Joanne Lipman and Chicago Symphony Orchestra violinist\, it was Jerry Kupchynsky\, known as Mr. K—a public school music teacher (and Melanie’s father). Mr. K’s subject was music\, but the lessons he taught were universal: about perseverance\, about the power of never saying “can’t\,” and about excellence in both music and life. Everybody has that one person who changes his or her life forever. For award-winning journalist Joanne Lipman and Chicago Symphony Orchestra violinist\, it was Jerry Kupchynsky\, known as Mr. K—a public school music teacher (and Melanie’s father). Mr. K’s subject was music\, but the lessons he taught were universal: about perseverance\, about the power of never saying “can’t\,” and about excellence in both music and life. Mr. K. was notorious for his diatribes\, calling students “deaf idiots\,” and rehearsing them until their fingers were calloused and bleeding and their bows broken. He pushed them harder than their parents and their teachers\, and through sheer force of will made them better than they had any right to be. Joanne’s New York Times op-ed piece\, “And the Orchestra Played On”—which described Mr. K’s memorial service\, when two generations of students flew in from all over the country to play a concert in his memory—shot to the upper reaches of the paper’s most e-mailed list. Joanne and Melanie were initially surprised at the response\, but then it hit them: everyone needs a Mr. K. Those who have endured a Mr. K can handle just about anything. They are more resilient\, they laugh a bit more. They can handle whatever life throws at them. \nSTRINGS ATTACHED tells Mr. K’s story—a narrative that is itself as absorbing as fiction—allowing readers to experience the world’s toughest teacher for themselves. Joanne and Melanie tell the story together and they are no strangers to collaboration—as musicians who spent their childhoods rehearsing together constantly\, they learned to trade melodies seamlessly from one to the other and back again.
