SUMMARY:Jessica Lamb-Shapiro reads from her debut Promise Land
DESCRIPTION:A funny\, poignant\, and intelligent history of a uniquely American industry\, Promise Land: My Journey Through America’s Self-Help Culture also reveals itself to be an intensely personal account of one woman’s reckoning with the great tragedy of her life—her mother’s early death and the years of complicit silence on which she and her father subsequently built their lives. \nIn the name of research\, Lamb-Shapiro took a class on how to find a husband\, walked on hot coals\, ate breakfast with over a hundred grieving children\, attempted to cure herself of a debilitating fear of flying\, helped a friend make a vision board and attended a conference how to best write a best-selling self-help book. But the more she delved into the history and practice of self-help\, the harder it became to convince herself that her work was purely academic. As she writes\, “Of all those things\, talking to my father about my mother was by far the hardest.” \nAt the end of her journey\, forced to confront her grief\, Lamb-Shapiro realized that sometimes we convince ourselves we know everything about a subject—only to hide the fact that we know nothing at all.

SUMMARY:Ranya Tabari Idliby reads from her solo debut\, Burqas\, Baseball\, and Apple Pie
DESCRIPTION:For many Americans\, the words “American” and “Muslim”  simply do not marry well; for many the combination is an anathema\, a contradiction in values\, loyalties\, and identities. This is the story of one American Muslim family—the  story of how\, through their lives\, their schools\, their friends\, and their neighbors\, they end up living the challenges\, myths\, fears\, hopes\, and dreams of all Americans. They are challenged by both Muslims  who speak for them and by Americans who reject them. In this moving memoir\, Idliby discusses not only coming to terms with what it means to be Muslim today\, but how to raise and teach her children about their heritage and religious legacy. She explores life as a Muslim  in a world where hostility towards Muslims runs rampant\, where there is an entire industry financed and supported by think tanks\, authors\, film makers\, and individual  vigilantes whose sole purpose is to vilify and spread fear about all things Muslim. Her story is quintessentially American\, a story of the struggles of assimilation and acceptance in a climate of confusion and prejudice—a story for anyone who has experienced being an “outsider” inside their own home country.

SUMMARY:Lynn Darling reads from Out of the Woods
DESCRIPTION:When her college-bound daughter leaves home\, Lynn Darling\, widowed over a decade earlier\, finds herself alone—and utterly lost\, with no idea of what she wants or even who she is. Searching for answers\, she leaves New York for the solitary woods of Vermont. Removed from the familiar\, cocooned in the natural world\, her only companions a new dog and a compass\, she hopes to develop a sense of direction—both in the woods and in her life. \nHiking unmapped trails\, Darling meditates on the milestones of her past; as she adapts to her new surroundings\, she uses the knowledge she’s gained to chart her future. And when an unexpected setback nearly derails her newfound balance\, she is able to draw upon her newfound skills to find her bearings and stay the course. \nIn revealing how one woman learned to navigate—literally and metaphorically—the uneven course of life\, Out of the Woods is\, in the words of Pulitzer-prize winning author Geraldine Brooks\,  “a marvelous book . . . both a compass and a manifesto for navigating the often-treacherous switchbacks of the second half of life.”

SUMMARY:Mitch Horowitz reads from his latest One Simple Idea
DESCRIPTION:From the millions-strong audiences of Oprah and The Secret to the mass-media ministries of evangelical figures like Joel Osteen and T. D. Jakes\, to the motivational bestsellers and New Age seminars to the twelve-step programs and support groups of the recovery movement and to the rise of positive psychology and stress-reduction therapies\, this idea–to think positively–is metaphysics morphed into mass belief. This is the biography of that belief. \nNo one has written a serious and broad-ranging treatment and history of the positive-thinking movement. Until now. For all its influence across popular culture\, religion\, politics\, and medicine\, this psycho-spiritual movement remains a maligned and misunderstood force in modern life. Its roots are unseen and its long-range impact is unacknowledged. It is often considered a cotton-candy theology for New Agers and self-help junkies. In response\, One Simple Idea corrects several historical misconceptions about the positive-thinking movement and introduces us to a number of colorful and dramatic personalities\, including Napoleon Hill and Norman Vincent Peale\, whose books and influence have touched the lives of tens of millions across the world.

SUMMARY:Jane Isay reads from her latest Secrets and Lies
DESCRIPTION:By the author of Walking on Eggshells\, a compellingly readable journey into the realm of family secrets\, offering lessons and insights for those who are hiding the truth and those who discover what has long been hidden. \nSecrets\, large and small\, are a fact of human life. This book explores the impact of keeping secrets and the power of truth. Secrets can damage our sense of self and our relationships. Even so\, Jane Isay has found\, people survive learning the most disturbing facts that have been hidden from them. And secret keepers are relieved when they finally reveal themselves—even the things they are ashamed of—to the people they care about. Much depends\, Isay writes\, on the way of telling and the way of hearing. \nPowered by detailed stories and Isay’s compassionate analysis\, Secrets and Lies reveals how universal secrets are in families. The big ones—affairs\, homosexuality\, parentage\, suicide\, abuse\, hidden siblings—can be ruinous at first\, but the effects need not last forever\, and Isay shows us what makes the difference. With specific guidelines for those who keep secrets and those who find them out\, Isay’s book reveals the art of surviving a secret.

SUMMARY:Eric Jaffe reads from his latest A Curious Madness
DESCRIPTION:In the wake of World War II\, the Allied forces charged twenty-eight Japanese men with crimes against humanity. Correspondents at the Tokyo trial thought the evidence fell most heavily on ten of the accused. In December 1948\, five of these defendants were hanged while four received sentences of life in prison. The tenth was a brilliant philosopher-patriot named Okawa Shumei. His story proved strangest of all. \nAmong all the political and military leaders on trial\, Okawa was the lone civilian. In the years leading up to World War II\, he had outlined a divine mission for Japan to lead Asia against the West\, prophesized a great clash with the United States\, planned coups d’etat with military rebels\, and financed the assassination of Japan’s prime minister. Beyond “all vestiges of doubt\,” concluded a classified American intelligence report\, “Okawa moved in the best circles of nationalist intrigue.”\n\n\nOkawa’s guilt as a conspirator appeared straightforward. But on the first day of the Tokyo trial\, he made headlines around the world by slapping star defendant and wartime prime minister Tojo Hideki on the head. Had Okawa lost his sanity? Or was he faking madness to avoid a grim punishment? A U.S. Army psychiatrist stationed in occupied Japan\, Major Daniel Jaffe—the author’s grandfather—was assigned to determine Okawa’s ability to stand trial\, and thus his fate.\n\n\nMeticulously researched\, A Curious Madness is both expansive in scope and vivid in detail. As the story pushes both Jaffe and Okawa toward their postwar confrontation\, it explores such diverse topics as the roots of belligerent Japanese nationalism\, the development of combat psychiatry during World War II\, and the complex nature of postwar justice. Eric Jaffe is at his best in this suspenseful and engrossing historical narrative of the fateful intertwining of two men on different sides of the war and the world and the question of insanity.

SUMMARY:David Stuart MacLean reads from his debut The Answer to the Riddle Is Me
DESCRIPTION:On October 17\, 2002\, David MacLean “woke up” on a train platform in India with no idea who he was or why he was there. No money. No passport. No identity. Taken to a mental hospital by the police\, MacLean then started to hallucinate so severely he had to be tied down. Soon he could remember song lyrics\, but not his family\, his friends\, or the woman he was told he loved. All of these symptoms\, it turned out\, were the result of the commonly prescribed malarial medication he had been taking. Upon his return to the States\, he struggled to piece together the fragments of his former life in a harrowing\, absurd\, and unforgettable journey back to himself.

SUMMARY:Joan Breton Connelly will read from her latest book The Parthenon Enigma
DESCRIPTION:In this revolutionary book\, Joan Breton Connelly challenges our most basic assumptions about the Parthenon and the ancient Athenians. Beginning with the natural environment and its rich mythic associations\, she re-creates the development of the Acropolis—the Sacred Rock at the heart of the city-state—from its prehistoric origins to its Periklean glory days as a constellation of temples among which the Parthenon stood supreme. In particular\, she probes the Parthenon’s legendary frieze: the 525-foot-long relief sculpture that originally encircled the upper reaches before it was partially destroyed by Venetian cannon fire (in the seventeenth century) and most of what remained was shipped off to Britain (in the nineteenth century) among the Elgin marbles. The frieze’s vast enigmatic procession—a dazzling pageant of cavalrymen and elders\, musicians and maidens—has for more than two hundred years been thought to represent a scene of annual civic celebration in the birthplace of democracy. But thanks to a once-lost play by Euripides (the discovery of which\, in the wrappings of a Hellenistic Egyptian mummy\, is only one of this book’s intriguing adventures)\, Connelly has uncovered a long-buried meaning\, a story of human sacrifice set during the city’s mythic founding. In a society startlingly preoccupied with cult ritual\, this story was at the core of what it meant to be Athenian. Connelly reveals a world that beggars our popular notions of Athens as a city of staid philosophers\, rationalists\, and rhetoricians\, a world in which our modern secular conception of democracy would have been simply incomprehensible.
