SUMMARY:Mark Molesky reads from his debut This Gulf of Fire
DESCRIPTION:On All Saints Day of 1755\, the tremors from a magnitude 9.0 earthquake swept furiously from its epicenter in the Atlantic Ocean toward the Iberian Peninsula. Nowhere was it felt more than in Lisbon\, then the thriving capital of a great global empire. In a few minutes most of Lisbon was destroyed—but that was only the beginning. A tsunami swept away most of the ruined coast along the Tagus River and carried untold souls out to sea. When fire broke out across the city\, the surviving Lisboetas were subject to a firestorm reaching temperatures over 1\,832ºF. Drawing on a wealth of new sources\, on modern science (geology did not exist then)\, and on a sophisticated grasp of Portuguese history\, Molesky gives us the definitive account of the destruction\, of history’s first international relief effort\, and of the effects these events had on the optimistic spirit of the Enlightenment.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of Palm Beach Chic and Artists Living with Art with Jennifer Rudick\, Amanda Benchley\, and Stacey Goergen
DESCRIPTION:In Palm Beach Chic\, Jennifer Ash Rudick leads the tour of newly restored Mediterranean Revival houses by Mizner\, Fatio\, and Volk\, charming cottages\, Moorish casbahs\, and vintage condos. Lush photographs capture extraordinary gardens\, verandas\, lakeside pavilions\, a rustic ranch\, and simple pastel houses sheltered by dense thickets of Norfolk pines and age-old banyans. It is this eclectic mix of old and new\, of Spanish and Caribbean\, of contemporary design and sun-faded WASP thrift\, that makes Palm Beach chic. \n  \n  \nArtists Living with Art invites readers into the homes and personal art collections of some of the world’s most renowned contemporary artists\, including Cindy Sherman\, Helen and Brice Marden\, Chuck Close\, Rachel Feinstein and John Currin\, Glenn Ligon\, and Pat Steir. Here readers will find beautifully renovated lofts in SoHo\, 19th-century Brooklyn brownstones\, and a restored farmhouse in the Hudson River Valley\, all filled with cherished artworks as well as objects\, textiles\, and ceramics set on display in artful and creative ways. Photographed by Oberto Gili\, these interiors will inspire readers to rethink the display of their own art and treasured possessions\, whether it’s a perfectly placed painting or rocks found on a beach. \n

SUMMARY:Thomas Vinciguerra reads from his debut Cast of Characters
DESCRIPTION:The professional and personal lives of the pioneers of an enduring magazine.\nFrom its birth in 1925 to the present day\, The New Yorker has been the country’s most prestigious\, entertaining\, and informative general-interest periodical. In Cast of Characters\, Thomas Vinciguerra revisits the early years of that creative cauldron. At the heart of the narrative is the largely forgotten life of Wolcott Gibbs\, the magazine’s theater critic and all-around wit\, author of an infamous 1936 parody of Time magazine. Around him swirled a legendary roster of names\, E. B. and Katharine White\, James Thurber\, Charles Addams\, Peter Arno\, and John O’Hara among them. Their stories—along with those of equally colorful but overlooked figures like managing editor St. Clair McKelway\, head fact-checker Frederick Packard\, and the flamboyant film reviewer John Mosher—are told here. Drawing on extensive interviews\, multiple manuscript collections\, and myriad secondary sources\, Cast of Characters may be the most revealing book yet about the unique personalities who built what founding editor Harold Ross called not a magazine but a “movement.”

SUMMARY:Please join editor Andrew Blauner and contributors Samuel G. Freedman\, Charles McGrath\, and Daniel Menaker as we celebrate the publication of The Good Book
DESCRIPTION:In The Good Book\, thirty-two of today’s most prominent writers share never-before-published pieces about passages in the Bible that are most meaningful to them. \nThe Good Book\, with an introduction by Adam Gopnik\, collects new pieces by writers from many different faiths and ethnicities including literary fiction writers (Colm Tóibín\, Edwidge Danticat\, Tobias Wolff\, Rick Moody); bestselling nonfiction writers (A.J. Jacobs\, Ian Frazier\, Thomas Lynch); notable figures in the media (Charles McGrath\, Cokie Roberts\, Steven V. Roberts); and social activists (Al Sharpton\, Kerry Kennedy). While these contributors are not primarily known as religious thinkers\, they write intelligently and movingly about specific passages in the Bible that inform the way they live\, think about past experiences\, and see society today. Some pieces are close readings of specific passages\, some are anecdotes from everyday life\, and all will inspire\, provoke\, or illuminate. \nAddressing some of the best-known and best-loved characters and stories from Genesis to Revelation\, The Good Book will be a beautiful\, enlightening gift for secular readers and readers of faith as well as a collection of interest to reading groups\, readers of creative nonfiction and personal essays\, and fans of each of the individual contributors.

SUMMARY:Roger Angell reads from his latest This Old Man
DESCRIPTION:Long known for his range and supple prose (he is the only writer elected to membership in both the Baseball Hall of Fame and the American Academy of Arts and Letters)\, Angell won the 2015 American Society of Magazine Editors’ Best Essay award for “This Old Man\,” which forms a centerpiece for this book. This deeply personal account is a survey of the limitations and discoveries of great age\, with abundant life\, poignant loss\, jokes\, retrieved moments\, and fresh love\, set down in an informal and moving fashion. A flood of readers from different generations have discovered and shared this classic piece. Angell’s fluid prose and native curiosity make him an amiable and compelling companion on the page. The book gathers essays\, letters\, light verse\, book reviews\, Talk of the Town stories\, farewells\, haikus\, Profiles\, Christmas greetings\, late thoughts on the costs of war. Whether it’s a Fourth of July in rural Maine\, a beloved British author at work\, Derek Jeter’s departure\, the final game of the 2014 World Series\, an all-dog opera\, editorial exchanges with John Updike\, or a letter to a son\, what links the pieces is the author’s perceptions and humor\, his utter absence of self-pity\, and his appreciation of friends and colleagues—writers\, ballplayers\, editors\, artists—encountered over the course of a full and generous life.
