SUMMARY:Todd Purdum reads from his debut An Idea Whose Time Has Come
DESCRIPTION:  \nA top Washington journalist recounts the dramatic political battle to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964\, the law that created modern America\, on the fiftieth anniversary of its passage \n  \nIt was a turbulent time in America—a time of sit-ins\, freedom rides\, a March on Washington and a governor standing in the schoolhouse door—when John F. Kennedy sent Congress a bill to bar racial discrimination in employment\, education\, and public accommodations. Countless civil rights measures had died on Capitol Hill in the past. But this one was different because\, as one influential senator put it\, it was “an idea whose time has come.” In a powerful narrative layered with revealing detail\, Todd S. Purdum tells the story of the Civil Rights Act of 1964\, recreating the legislative maneuvering and the larger-than-life characters who made its passage possible. From the Kennedy brothers to Lyndon Johnson\, from Martin Luther King Jr. to Hubert Humphrey and Everett Dirksen\, Purdum shows how these all-too-human figures managed\, in just over a year\, to create a bill that prompted the longest filibuster in the history of the U.S. Senate yet was ultimately adopted with overwhelming bipartisan support. He evokes the high purpose and low dealings that marked the creation of this monumental law\, drawing on extensive archival research and dozens of new interviews that bring to life this signal achievement in American history.

SUMMARY:James McMullan reads from Leaving China
DESCRIPTION:James McMullan was born in Tsingtao\, North China\, in 1934\, the grandson of missionaries who settled there. As a little boy\, Jim took for granted a privileged life of household servants\, rickshaw rides\, and picnics on the shore—until World War II erupted and life changed drastically. Jim’s father\, a British citizen fluent in several Chinese dialects\, joined the Allied forces. For the next several years\, Jim and his mother moved from one place to another—Shanghai\, San Francisco\, Vancouver\, Darjeeling—first escaping Japanese occupation then trying to find security\, with no clear destination except the unpredictable end of the war. For Jim\, those ever-changing years took on the quality of a dream\, sometimes a nightmare\, a feeling that persists in the stunning full-page\, full-color paintings that along with their accompanying text tell the story of Leaving China.

DESCRIPTION:A major addition to the literature of poetry\, Edward Hirsch’s sparkling new work is a compilation of forms\, devices\, groups\, movements\, isms\, aesthetics\, rhetorical terms\, and folklore—a book that all readers\, writers\, teachers\, and students of poetry will return to over and over. \nHirsch has delved deeply into the poetic traditions of the world\, returning with an inclusive\, international compendium.

Hirsch’s entries will deepen readers’ relationships with their favorite poems and open greater levels of understanding in each new poem they encounter.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of Tori Corn's latest children's picture book Dixie Wants an Allergy
DESCRIPTION:It’s Dixie’s first day of school\, and some of her classmates are sharing details about their various allergies. Bridget tells of her wheat allergy and how she gets to order a special meal from restaurants. Dixie thinks that must be a really special meal! And Charlie had to be rushed to the hospital in an ambulance once due to his dairy allergy. Dixie thinks that must have been thrilling! Even Hannah gets to wear a fashionable bracelet due to her peanut allergy. Dixie races home and begins to eagerly search for the slightest sign of an allergy. After many failed attempts\, Dixie discovers that she is allergic to something after all. But is getting what you wish for actually as exciting as it once appeared? \nDixie Wants an Allergy provides a comical and engaging approach for children who are beginning to learn about and who are coping with allergies—and who also have trouble finding what makes them unique. Corn’s playful text and Cote’s inviting illustrations encourage children to accept those with differences while learning that wanting what others have is not always a good idea. \nPlease note that illustrator Nancy Cote will be raffling off an original piece of art from the book\,matted  and framed!  \nFor every purchased copy of Dixie\, the customer can have their name entered in a raffle which will be drawn at the end of the night.

SUMMARY:Leah Hager Cohen reads from her latest novel No Book But the World
DESCRIPTION:As children\, Ava and her brother Fred were raised in a “free” environment. Their parents\, progressive educators and followers of the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau\, believed children developed best without formal instruction or societal contraints. This\, despite the fact that Fred was a child who clearly might have benefited from some kind of intervention. When the book opens\, Ava\, 32\, has learned that her brother\, 30\, is being held in a county jail in upstate New York\, alleged to have abducted a young boy and taken him into the woods. After several days’ search\, the boy is found dead. Fred has always been different. If he’d ever been clinically evaluated\, he might well have been given a diagnosis on the autism spectrum\, but his parents didn’t believe in labeling or pathologizing human behavior\, and never took him to a specialist. Now Ava feels impelled to try to piece together the story of what actually happened between the boy and Fred\, convinced that she\, and she alone\, will be able to explain her brother in a way that allows the rest of the world to regard him with sympathy. \nNo Book but the World is about fathoming the unfathomable. It asks what obligation we have to reach out to someone who is difficult to love\, or to try to understand the motivations behind another’s actions\, and what means we have for doing so. It asks whether freedom is always desirable. And it challenges the idea that facts are our best tools for comprehending one another\, proposing our emotions and imaginations might take us further.

SUMMARY:Amanda Vaill reads from her latest Hotel Florida
DESCRIPTION:Madrid\, 1936. In a city blasted by a civil war that many fear will cross borders and engulf Europe—a conflict one writer will call “the decisive thing of the century”—six people meet and find their lives changed forever. Ernest Hemingway\, his career stalled\, his marriage sour\, hopes that this war will give him fresh material and new romance; Martha Gellhorn\, an ambitious novice journalist hungry for love and experience\, thinks she will find both with Hemingway in Spain. Robert Capa and Gerda Taro\, idealistic young photographers based in Paris\, want to capture history in the making and are inventing modern photojournalism in the process. And Arturo Barea\, chief of Madrid’s loyalist foreign press office\, and Ilsa Kulcsar\, his Austrian deputy\, are struggling to balance truth-telling with loyalty to their sometimes compromised cause—a struggle that places both of them in peril. \nHotel Florida traces the tangled wartime destinies of these three couples against the backdrop of a critical moment in history. As Hemingway put it\, “You could learn as much at the Hotel Florida in those years as you could anywhere in the world.” From the raw material of unpublished letters and diaries\, official documents\, and recovered reels of film\, Amanda Vaill has created a narrative of love and reinvention that is\, finally\, a story about truth: finding it out\, telling it\, and living it—whatever the cost.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of Wendy Aronsson's debut Refeathering the Empty Nest
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: This event was moved from April 16 to April 30. \nMany parents have demonstrated a desire to parent skillfully and artfully. They read the latest child development and parenting books\, configure their schedules to accommodate the social and educational lives of their children\, and focus like lasers on their childrens’ well-being. Many have made an enormous emotional and financial investment in raising their children. But children grow up\, they move out\, they create their own lives and their own homes. The role of the parent changes\, diminishes\, and evolves. \n\nThe life phase that begins in preparation for an “empty nest” and continues until parents re-feather the nest has no official name\, yet it represents a profound shift from the rigors of daily parenting to a period of self-reflection and reorientation. Here\, Wendy Aronsson centers on that experience\, capturing the realities of the emotions and life changes that come on gradually\, and sometimes proceed in fits and starts. \nRefeathering the Empty Nest is for any parent preparing for the departure from of home of their youngest child. It is for those who wish to move forward productively\, both in their new parenting role and in their roles as spouse\, employee\, friend\, neighbor\, and self. Using real stories throughout\, Aronsson shows how people have managed these changes\, how they’ve reignited the passion in their marriages or moved on from bad matches\, how they’ve rediscovered old interests and talents\, and how they’ve reinvented their relationships with their children as well. These stories provide hope and guidance to anyone whose nest is about to empty as well as those whose nests already are.
