SUMMARY:Judy Batalion discusses her debut memoir White Walls
DESCRIPTION:Judy Batalion grew up in a house filled with endless piles of junk and layers of crumbs and dust; suffocated by tuna fish cans\, old papers and magazines\, swivel chairs\, tea bags\, clocks\, cameras\, printers\, VHS tapes\, ballpoint pens…obsessively gathered and stored by her hoarder mother. The first chance she had\, she escaped the clutter to create a new identity—one made of order\, regimen\, and clean white walls. Until\, one day\, she found herself enmeshed in life’s biggest chaos: motherhood. Confronted with the daunting task of raising a daughter after her own dysfunctional childhood\, Judy reflected on not only her own upbringing but the lives of her mother and grandmother\, Jewish Polish immigrants who had escaped the Holocaust. What she discovered astonished her. The women in her family\, despite their differences\, were even more closely connected than she ever knew—from her grandmother Zelda to her daughter of the same name. And\, despite the hardships of her own mother-daughter relationship\, it was that bond that was slowly healing her old wounds. Told with heartbreaking honesty and humor\, this is Judy’s poignant account of her trials negotiating the messiness of motherhood and the indelible marks that mothers and daughters make on each other’s lives. \nJudy will be in discussion with Amy Klein. Amy Klein wrote the fertility diary column for the New York Times. She’s working on a memoir of her own about her four-year journey to have a baby. \nA wine & cheese reception will follow the reading.

SUMMARY:Bill Keenan reads from his debut Odd Man Rush
DESCRIPTION:In his hilarious\, gritty\, and touching debut\, Bill Keenan—a hockey star once on the fast-track to the NHL—tells of how he overcame multiple obstacles to find fulfillment and redemption in the strange world of European minor-league professional hockey. Keenan’s hockey obsession begins as a five-year-old on Lasker Rink in New York’s Central Park—“love at first stride\,” as he calls it. He then becomes the youngest\, and skinniest\, player on the New York Bobcats\, a Junior B hockey team. Later\, after his hockey career at Harvard doesn’t end as planned—with a fat NHL contract—Keenan decides to play in the minor leagues in Europe\, where the glamour of professional sports is decidedly lacking. Part fish-out-of-water travelogue\, part coming-of-age memoir\, Odd Man Rush will capture the interest of not just hockey fans\, but also fans of good writing. Throughout\, Keenan’s deep affection for the game shines through\, even as he describes fans who steal players’ clothes from the locker room or toss empty beer cans onto the rink after games. Abusive fans\, cold showers\, long bus rides—nothing diminishes his love for the sport. “Because that’s the way it works with me and hockey. Even when it’s horrible\, it’s wonderful.”

SUMMARY:Karen White\, Beatriz Williams\, and Lauren Willig read from The Forgotten Room
DESCRIPTION:New York Times bestselling authors Karen White\, Beatriz Williams\, and Lauren Willig present a masterful collaboration—a rich\, multigenerational novel of love and loss that spans half a century…. \n1945: When the critically wounded Captain Cooper Ravenal is brought to a private hospital on Manhattan’s Upper East Side\, young Dr. Kate Schuyler is drawn into a complex mystery that connects three generations of women in her family to a single extraordinary room in a Gilded Age mansion. Who is the woman in Captain Ravenel’s portrait miniature who looks so much like Kate?  And why is she wearing the ruby pendant handed down to Kate by her mother?  In their pursuit of answers\, they find themselves drawn into the turbulent stories of Gilded Age Olive Van Alen\, driven from riches to rags\, who hired out as a servant in the very house her father designed\, and Jazz Age Lucy Young\, who came from Brooklyn to Manhattan in pursuit of the father she had never known.  But are Kate and Cooper ready for the secrets that will be revealed in the Forgotten Room?  The Forgotten Room\, set in alternating time periods\, is a sumptuous feast of a novel brought to vivid life by three brilliant storytellers.

SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of Fine\, Fine\, Fine\, Fine\, Fine with author Diane Williams
DESCRIPTION:The very short stories of Diane Williams have been aptly called “folk tales that hammer like a nail gun\,” and these 40 new ones are sharper than ever. They are unsettling\, yes\, frequently revelatory\, and more often than not downright funny. \nNot a single moment here is what you might expect. While there is immense pleasure to be found in Williams’s spot-on observations about how we behave in our highest and lowest moments\, the heart of the drama beats in the language of American short fiction’s grand master\, whose originality\, precision\, and power bring the familiar into startling and enchanted relief.
