SUMMARY:Mary Norris launches her debut Between You and Me\, Confessions of a Comma Queen
DESCRIPTION:The most irreverent and helpful book on language since the #1 New York Times bestseller Eats\, Shoots & Leaves.Mary Norris has spent more than three decades in The New Yorker’s copy department\, maintaining its celebrated high standards. Now she brings her vast experience\, good cheer\, and finely sharpened pencils to help the rest of us in a boisterous language book as full of life as it is of practical advice.Between You & Me features Norris’s laugh-out-loud descriptions of some of the most common and vexing problems in spelling\, punctuation\, and usage—comma faults\, danglers\, “who” vs. “whom\,” “that” vs. “which\,” compound words\, gender-neutral language—and her clear explanations of how to handle them. Down-to-earth and always open-minded\, she draws on examples from Charles Dickens\, Emily Dickinson\, Henry James\, and the Lord’s Prayer\, as well as from The Honeymooners\, The Simpsons\, David Foster Wallace\, and Gillian Flynn. She takes us to see a copy of Noah Webster’s groundbreaking Blue-Back Speller\, on a quest to find out who put the hyphen in Moby-Dick\, on a pilgrimage to the world’s only pencil-sharpener museum\, and inside the hallowed halls of The New Yorker and her work with such celebrated writers as Pauline Kael\, Philip Roth\, and George Saunders.

SUMMARY:A reading by Marc Peyser and Timothy Dwyer from their debut Hissing Cousins
DESCRIPTION:A lively and provocative double biography of first cousins Eleanor Roosevelt and Alice Roosevelt Longworth\, two extraordinary women whose tangled lives provide a sweeping look at the twentieth century. \nWhen Theodore Roosevelt became president in 1901\, his beautiful and flamboyant daughter was transformed into “Princess Alice\,” arguably the century’s first global celebrity. Thirty-two years later\, her first cousin Eleanor moved into the White House as First Lady. Born eight months and twenty blocks apart from each other in New York City\, Eleanor and Alice spent a large part of their childhoods together and were far more alike than most historians acknowledge. \nBut their politics and temperaments couldn’t have been more distinct. Do-gooder Eleanor was committed to social justice but hated the limelight; acid-tongued Alice\, who became the wife of philandering Republican congressman Nicholas Longworth\, was an opponent of big government who gained notoriety for her cutting remarks (she famously quipped that dour President Coolidge “looked like he was weaned on a pickle”). While Eleanor revolutionized the role of First Lady with her outspoken passion for human rights\, Alice made the most of her insider connections to influence politics\, including doing as much to defeat the League of Nations as anyone in elective office. \nThe cousins themselves liked to play up their oil-and-water relationship. “When I think of Frank and Eleanor in the White House I could grind my teeth to powder and blow them out my nose\,” Alice once said. In the 1930s they even wrote opposing syndicated newspaper columns and embarked on competing nationwide speaking tours. Blood may be thicker than water\, but when the family business is politics\, winning trumps everything. \nVivid\, intimate\, and stylishly written\, Hissing Cousins finally sets this relationship center stage\, revealing the contentious bond between two political trailblazers who short-circuited the rules of gender and power\, each in her own way.

SUMMARY:Carol Weston returns with Ava and Taco Cat
DESCRIPTION:Ava desperately wants a pet for her eleventh birthday-but gets way more than she bargained for when she adopts T-A-C-O-C-A-T. \nWhen Ava Wren hears about an injured yellow tabby with mismatched ears\, she becomes obsessed and wants to rescue him. She even picks out a perfect palindromic name: T-A-C-O-C-A-T. But when Taco joins the family\, he doesn’t snuggle or purr-all he does is hide. Worse\, Ava’s best friend starts hanging out with Zara\, a new girl in fifth grade. Ava feels alone and writes an acclaimed story\, “The Cat Who Wouldn’t Purr.” What begins as exciting news turns into a disaster. How can Ava make things right? And what about sweet\, scared little Taco? \nThe New York Times called AVA AND PIP “a love letter to language. ” With this second diary\, Girls’ Life advice columnist Carol Weston hits another home run. \n

SUMMARY:Matt McCarthy reads from his latest The Real Doctor Will See You Shortly
DESCRIPTION:In medical school\, Matt McCarthy dreamed of being a different kind of doctor—the sort of mythical\, unflappable physician who could reach unreachable patients. But when a new admission to the critical care unit almost died his first night on call\, he found himself scrambling. Visions of mastery quickly gave way to hopes of simply surviving hospital life\, where confidence was hard to come by and no amount of med school training could dispel the terror of facing actual patients. \nThis funny\, candid memoir of McCarthy’s intern year at a New York hospital provides a scorchingly frank look at how doctors are made\, taking readers into patients’ rooms and doctors’ conferences to witness a physician’s journey from ineptitude to competence. McCarthy’s one stroke of luck paired him with a brilliant second-year adviser he called “Baio” (owing to his resemblance to the Charles in Charge star)\, who proved to be a remarkable teacher with a wicked sense of humor. McCarthy would learn even more from the people he cared for\, including a man named Benny\, who was living in the hospital for months at a time awaiting a heart transplant. But no teacher could help McCarthy when an accident put his own health at risk\, and showed him all too painfully the thin line between doctor and patient.\n\nThe Real Doctor Will See You Shortly offers a window on to hospital life that dispenses with sanctimony and self-seriousness while emphasizing the black-comic paradox of becoming a doctor: How do you learn to save lives in a job where there is no practice?

SUMMARY:Patricia Morrisroe reads from her latest book 9 1/2 Narrow: My Life in Shoes
DESCRIPTION:A funny\, poignant coming-of-age memoir told through the shoes that she wore. \nFrom baby booties to orthopedic brogues (and all the high and low heels in between) shoes mark important rites of passage\, reminding us of both the good and bad times: the road not taken\, the prince that got away\, the missed opportunities\, the traveling\, the fun. Most of all\, they bring to mind the people we’ve loved and sometimes lost along the way. \nCombining tidbits of cultural history\, Morrisroe chronicles her life as a bullied Catholic schoolgirl in “Moby Dick” brogues; a besotted college student in granny boots; an aspiring journalist in Annie Hall oxfords; a skeptical bride in her first Manolos; a reluctant fashionista in towering peep-toe pumps; and a concerned daughter\, whose elderly mother hoped that her New Balance sneakers would help her regain her old balance. With wit and compassion\, she introduces us to an unforgettable cast of characters\, from her grandfather\, who treated the family to legendary foot rubs\, to her husband\, whose vast collection of vintage Puma sneakers threatened to overwhelm their apartment and derail their marriage. \nMorrisroe’s “coming-of-age” is\, at its heart\, the story of a generation of women who’ve enjoyed a world of freedom and opportunity that was unthinkable to their mothers. Spanning five decades and countless footwear trends\, 9 ½ Narrowis\, like Love\, Loss and What I Wore\, about how we remember important events through a coat\, or a dress\, or in this case\, a Beatle boot or Confirmation “wedgie.” With her charming sense of humor and irresistible voice\, Morrisroe not only recounts her own story but also everywoman’s. Funny\, candid and unexpectedly poignant\, 9 ½ Narrow is about how we grow up\, grow older\, and finally grow into our own shoes.
