SUMMARY:Jill Bialosky reads from her new novel The Prize
DESCRIPTION:What do we prize most? Are integrity and ambition mutually exclusive\, as we seek a place in the world? How do we value\, ultimately\, a piece of art — or a life? These are the questions at the core of the evocative new novel by New York Times bestselling author Jill Bialosky. \nTalented\, successful\, blessed with a loving wife and daughter\, Edward Darby has everything a man should hope for. With a rising career as a partner at an esteemed gallery he strives not to let ambition\, money\, power\, and his dark past corrode the sanctuary of his domestic and private life. Influenced by his father\, a brilliant Romantics scholar\, Edward has always been more of a purist than an opportunist. But when a celebrated artist controlled by her insecurities betrays him\, and another very different artist awakens his heart and stirs up secrets from his past\, Edward will find himself unmoored from his marriage\, his work\, and the memory of his beloved father. And when the finalists of an important prize are announced\, and the desperate artists maneuver to seek its validation\, Edward soon learns that betrayal comes in many forms\, and that he may be hurtling toward an act that challenges his own notions about what comprises a life worth living. A compelling odyssey of a man unhinged by his ideals\, The Prize is as well an unflinching portrait of a marriage struggling against the corroding tide of time and the proximity to the treacherous fault line between art and money. \nInspired by her work as a poet and the need to preserve a private space for the creation of art\, The Prize by Jill Bialosky is her most moving novel yet.

SUMMARY:Jesse Kornbluth reads from his new novel Married Sex
DESCRIPTION:When a husband convinces his wife to join him in a tryst with another woman\, there are unintended consequences in this sharply observed erotic tale about the challenges of modern marriage. \nAs a divorce lawyer for Manhattan’s elite\, David Greenfield is privy to the intimate\, dirty details of failed marriages. He knows he’s lucky to be married to Blair—a Barnard dean and the mother of their college-age daughter\, a woman he loves more today than when they tied the knot.  But when seductive photographer Jean Coin asks David to be her lover for six weeks until she leaves for Timbuktu\, David is tempted\, reasoning that “it’s not cheating if your wife’s there.” A one-night threesome would relieve the pressure of monogamy without wrecking their marriage. What harm could come of fulfilling his longtime sexual fantasy?

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of The Way of Wanderlust with travel writer Don George
DESCRIPTION:As a professional travel writer and editor for the past 40 years\, Don George has been paid to explore the world. Through the decades\, his articles have been published in magazines\, newspapers\, and websites around the globe and have won more awards than almost any other travel writer alive\, yet his pieces have never been collected into one volume. The Way of Wanderlust: The Best Travel Writing of Don George fills this void with a moving and inspiring collection of tales and reflections from one of America’s most acclaimed and beloved travel writers. \nFrom his high-spirited account of climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on a whim when he was 22 years old to his heart-plucking description of a home-stay in a muddy compound in Cambodia as a 61-year-old\, this collection ranges widely. As renowned for his insightful observations as for his poetic prose\, George always absorbs the essence of the places he’s visiting. \nOther stories here include a moving encounter with Australia’s sacred red rock monolith\, Uluru; an immersion in country kindness on the Japanese island of Shikoku; the trials and triumphs of ascending Yosemite’s Half Dome with his wife and children; and a magical morning at Machu Picchu. \n

SUMMARY:Celebrate the NYC launch of A Day with Bonefish Joe with author Elizabeth Howard and Illustrator Diana Wege
DESCRIPTION:An enchanting story about an adventurous girl and her day at sea with Bonefish Joe\, one of the best-known bonefish guides in the Bahamas. \nYoung and fearless Flossie lives on Harbour Island\, a small outpost in the Bahamas known for its exquisite three-mile pink sand beach and for bonefishing\, a compelling catch-and-release enterprise that pits a determined angler against an inedible\, surprisingly powerful\, and elusive quarry. Flossie’s persistent dream is to go fishing with the legendary guide Bonefish Joe\, a beloved island institution who picks up his wealthy clients at the dock and returns with them hours later still fishless but satisfied. One Sunday\, after church\, surprisingly Flossie’s wish is granted and she and her friend discover the allure\, the challenge\, and the delights of hooking (and releasing) one of angling’s greatest prizes. Diana Wege’s lush and vibrant illustrations of the island\, its inhabitants\, its customs\, and its architecture\, bring this story alive\, perfectly catching the character\, culture\, and charm of Harbour Island.

SUMMARY:Lily Tuck reads from her new novel The Double Life of Liliane
DESCRIPTION:Lily Tuck has had a wonderful and accomplished career as a National Book Award winning novelist\, story writer\, essayist and biographer. She is one of our most distinguished contributors to American literature. With The Double Life of Liliane\, Tuck writes what may well be her crowning achievement to date. \nAs the child of a German movie producer father who lives in Italy and a beautiful\, artistically talented mother who resides in New York\, Liliane’s life is divided between those two very different worlds. A shy and observant only child with a vivid imagination\, Liliane uncovers the stories of family members as diverse as Moses Mendelssohn\, Mary Queen of Scots and an early Mexican adventurer\, and pieces together their vivid histories\, through both World Wars and across continents. ? \nWhat unfolds is an astonishing and riveting metanarrative: an exploration of self\, humanity\, and family in the manner of W.G. Sebald and Karl Ove Knausgaard. Told with Tuck’s inimitable elegance and peppered with documents\, photos\, and a rich and varied array of characters\, The Double Life of Liliane is an intimate and poignant coming of age portrait of the writer as a young woman.

SUMMARY:Frederick A.O. Schwarz reads from his latest book Democracy in the Dark
DESCRIPTION:From Dick Cheney’s man-sized safe to the National Security Agency’s massive intelligence gathering\, secrecy has too often captured the American government’s modus operandi better than the ideals of the Constitution. In this important new book\, Frederick A.O. Schwarz Jr.\, who was chief counsel to the U.S. Church Committee on Intelligence—which uncovered the FBI’s effort to push Martin Luther King to commit suicide; the CIA’s enlistment of the Mafia to try to kill Fidel Castro; and the NSA’s thirty-year program to get copies of all telegrams leaving the United States—uses examples ranging from the dropping of the first atomic bomb and the Cuban Missile Crisis to Iran Contra and 9/11 to illuminate this central question: how much secrecy does good governance require? Schwarz argues that while some control of information is necessary\, governments tend to fall prey to a culture of secrecy that is ultimately not just hazardous to democracy but antithetical to it. This history provides the essential context to recent cases from Chelsea Manning to Edward Snowden.
