SUMMARY:Lili Anolik launches her debut novel Dark Rooms
DESCRIPTION:The Secret History meets Sharp Objects in this stunning debut about murder and glamour set in the ambiguous and claustrophobic world of an exclusive New England prep school. \nDeath sets the plot in motion: the murder of Nica Baker\, beautiful\, wild\, enigmatic\, and only sixteen. The crime is solved\, and quickly—a lonely classmate\, unrequited love\, a suicide note confession—but memory and instinct won’t allow Nica’s older sister\, Grace\, to accept the case as closed. \nDropping out of college and living at home\, working at the moneyed and progressive private high school in Hartford\, Connecticut\, from which she recently graduated\, Grace becomes increasingly obsessed with identifying and punishing the real killer. \nCompulsively readable\, Lili Anolik’s debut novel combines the verbal dexterity of Marisha Pessl’s Special Topic in Calamity Physics and the haunting atmospherics and hairpin plot twists of Megan Abbott’s Dare Me.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the NYC launch of The Fifth Gospel with author Ian Caldwell
DESCRIPTION:In Ian Caldwell’s follow-up to his international sensation The Rule of Four\, a lost gospel\, a contentious relic\, and a dying pope’s final wish converge to send two brothers—both Vatican priests—on an intellectual quest to untangle Christianity’s greatest historical mystery. \nTen years ago\, Ian Caldwell and Dustin Thomason’s The Rule of Four became a literary phenomenon that earned comparisons to Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose and Donna Tartt’s The Secret History. Hailed as “ingenious…profoundly erudite” (The New York Times)\, “compulsively readable” (People)\, and “an exceptional piece of scholarship” (San Francisco Chronicle)\, it spent forty-nine weeks on the New York Times bestseller list\, sold nearly two million copies in North America\, and was translated into thirty-five languages around the world. Now\, after a decade of painstaking primary research\, Ian Caldwell returns with a new intellectual thriller that confirms his place among the most ambitious popular storytellers working today. \n

SUMMARY:James Grissom reads from his debut Follies of God: Tennessee Williams and the Women of the Fog
DESCRIPTION:An extraordinary book; one that almost magically makes clear how Tennessee Williams wrote; how he came to his visions of Amanda Wingfield\, his Blanche DuBois\, Stella Kowalski\, Alma Winemiller\, Lady Torrance\, and the other characters of his plays that transformed the American theater of the mid-twentieth century; a book that does\, from the inside\, the almost impossible—revealing the heart and soul of artistic inspiration and the unwitting collaboration between playwright and actress\, playwright and director. \nAt a moment in the life of Tennessee Williams when he felt he had been relegated to a “lower artery of the theatrical heart\,” when critics were proclaiming that his work had been overrated\, he summoned to New Orleans a hopeful twenty-year-old writer\, James Grissom\, who had written an unsolicited letter to the great playwright asking for advice. After a long\, intense conversation\, Williams sent Grissom on a journey on the playwright’s behalf to find out if he\, Tennessee Williams\, or his work\, had mattered to those who had so deeply mattered to him\, those who had led him to what he called the blank page\, “the pale judgment.” \nAmong the more than seventy giants of American theater and film Grissom sought out\, chief among them the women who came to Williams out of the fog: Lillian Gish\, Maureen Stapleton\, Jessica Tandy\, Kim Stanley \, Bette Davis\, Katharine Hepburn\, Jo Van Fleet\, Rosemary Harris\, Eva Le Gallienne\, Julie Harris\, and Geraldine Page.

SUMMARY:Laura J. Snyder launches Eye of the Beholder
DESCRIPTION:The remarkable story of how an artist and a scientist in seventeenth-century Holland transformed the way we see the world.On a summer day in 1674\, in the small Dutch city of Delft\, Antoni van Leeuwenhoek—a cloth salesman\, local bureaucrat\, and self-taught natural philosopher—gazed through a tiny lens set into a brass holder and discovered a never-before imagined world of microscopic life. At the same time\, in a nearby attic\, the painter Johannes Vermeer was using another optical device\, a camera obscura\, to experiment with light and create the most luminous pictures ever beheld.“See for yourself!” was the clarion call of the 1600s. Scientists peered at nature through microscopes and telescopes\, making the discoveries in astronomy\, physics\, chemistry\, and anatomy that ignited the Scientific Revolution. Artists investigated nature with lenses\, mirrors\, and camera obscuras\, creating extraordinarily detailed paintings of flowers and insects\, and scenes filled with realistic effects of light\, shadow\, and color. By extending the reach of sight the new optical instruments prompted the realization that there is more than meets the eye. But they also raised questions about how we see and what it means to see. In answering these questions\, scientists and artists in Delft changed how we perceive the world.In Eye of the Beholder\, Laura J. Snyder transports us to the streets\, inns\, and guildhalls of seventeenth-century Holland\, where artists and scientists gathered\, and to their studios and laboratories\, where they mixed paints and prepared canvases\, ground and polished lenses\, examined and dissected insects and other animals\, and invented the modern notion of seeing. With charm and narrative flair Snyder brings Vermeer and Van Leeuwenhoek—and the men and women around them—vividly to life. The story of these two geniuses and the transformation they engendered shows us why we see the world—and our place within it—as we do today.

SUMMARY:Alice Eve Cohen reads from her new book The Year My Mother Came Back
DESCRIPTION:“A riveting journey . . . Funny\, painful\, absurd\, and heartwarming. Alice’s mother comes fully to life in all her complexity\, a woman of her times and ahead of her time. Alice’s own struggle to accept her imperfect self is a loving message to mothers who struggle to live life with grace. A beautiful book.” —Julie Metz\, New York Times bestselling author of Perfection \nThirty years after her death\, Alice’s mother appears to her\, seemingly in the flesh\, and continues to do so during the hardest year of parenting Alice has had to face. As it turns out\, it’s entirely possible for the people we’ve lost to come back to us when we need them the most. \nAlthough letting her mother back into her life is not an easy thing\, Alice navigates it with humor\, intelligence\, and honesty. What she learns is that she must revisit her childhood and allow herself to be a daughter once more in order to take care of her own girls. Eventually\, understanding and then forgiving her mother’s parenting transgressions leads her to accept herself and to realize that she doesn’t have to be perfect to be a good mother.
