SUMMARY:David Jaher reads from his debut The Witch of Lime Street
DESCRIPTION:The 1920s are famous as the golden age of jazz and glamour\, but it was also an era of fevered yearning for communion with the spirit world\, after the loss of tens of millions in the First World War and the Spanish-flu epidemic. A desperate search for reunion with dead loved ones precipitated a tidal wave of self-proclaimed psychics—and\, as reputable media sought stories on occult phenomena\, mediums became celebrities. \nAgainst this backdrop\, in 1924\, the pretty wife of a distinguished Boston surgeon came to embody the raging national debate over Spiritualism\, a movement devoted to communication with the dead. Reporters dubbed her the blonde Witch of Lime Street\, but she was known to her followers simply as Margery. Her most vocal advocate was none other than Sherlock Holmes’ creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle\, who believed so thoroughly in Margery’s powers that he urged her to enter a controversial contest\, sponsored by Scientific American and offering a large cash prize to the first medium declared authentic by its impressive five-man investigative committee.  Admired for both her exceptional charm and her dazzling effects\, Margery was the best hope for the psychic practice to be empirically verified.  Her supernatural gifts beguiled four of the judges. There was only one left to convince…the acclaimed escape artist\, Harry Houdini.

SUMMARY:Robert Pennoyer reads from his memoir As It Was
DESCRIPTION:“Robert M. Pennoyer was born into a storied family – his maternal grandfather was the legendary J. P. Morgan. His irresistible memoir traces his sheltered childhood on the Gold Coast of Long Island; an adolescence overshadowed by the gathering clouds of World War II; and a young adulthood that survived one of the decisive engagements of the Pacific Theater – Iwo Jima. The author gives us as well a heartwarming account of a romance that blossomed into a lifelong matrimonial partnership and a close family life\, tested nonetheless by crisis. And he chronicles a distinguished career\, the early part of which was spent in the service of President Eisenhower and the latter part in private law practice and pro bono work.” \n— Scott Horton\, author of Lords of Secrecy: The National Security Elite and America’s Stealth Warfare (2015)\, contributing editor\,Harper’s Magazine.

SUMMARY:Susan Cheever reads from her latest Drinking in America: Our Secret History
DESCRIPTION:In Drinking in America\, bestselling author Susan Cheever chronicles our national love affair with liquor\, taking a long\, thoughtful look at the way alcohol has changed our nation’s history. This is the often-overlooked story of how alcohol has shaped American events and the American character from the seventeenth to the twentieth century. Seen through the lens of alcoholism\, American history takes on a vibrancy and a tragedy missing from many earlier accounts. From the drunkenness of the Pilgrims to Prohibition hijinks\, drinking has always been a cherished American custom: a way to celebrate and a way to grieve and a way to take the edge off. At many pivotal points in our history–the illegal Mayflower landing at Cape Cod\, the enslavement of African Americans\, the McCarthy witch hunts\, and the Kennedy assassination\, to name only a few-alcohol has acted as a catalyst. Some nations drink more than we do\, some drink less\, but no other nation has been the drunkest in the world as America was in the 1830s only to outlaw drinking entirely a hundred years later. Both a lively history and an unflinching cultural investigation\, Drinking in America unveils the volatile ambivalence within one nation’s tumultuous affair with alcohol.
