SUMMARY:Lorraine Boissoneault reads from her debut The Last Voyageurs
DESCRIPTION:In 1976\, America’s bicentennial\, 24 young men set out to re-create French explorer La Salle’s voyage down the entire length of the Mississippi River\, abandoning their modern identities in order to live like the voyageurs of the 1600s. Together they set off on an eight-month\, 3\,300-mile expedition across the major waterways of North America. They fought strong currents on the St. Lawrence\, paddled through storms on the Great Lakes\, and walked over 500 miles across the frozen Midwest during one of the coldest winters of the 20th century. \n

SUMMARY:Ben Lindbergh reads from his debut The Only Rule Is It Has to Work
DESCRIPTION:It’s the ultimate in fantasy baseball: You get to pick the roster\, set the lineup\, and decide on strategies — with real players\, in a real ballpark\, in a real playoff race. That’s what baseball analysts Ben Lindbergh and Sam Miller got to do when an independent minor-league team in California\, the Sonoma Stompers\, offered them the chance to run its baseball operations according to the most advanced statistics. Their story in The Only Rule is it Has to Work is unlike any other baseball tale you’ve ever read. We tag along as Lindbergh and Miller apply their number-crunching insights to all aspects of assembling and running a team\, following one cardinal rule for judging each innovation they try: it has to work. We meet colorful figures like general manager Theo Fightmaster and boundary-breakers like the first openly gay player in professional baseball. Even José Canseco makes a cameo appearance.

SUMMARY:Burt Weissbourd reads from his latest Minos
DESCRIPTION:Minos\, the third work in the Corey Logan Trilogy\, derives from the mythical king of Crete who every lunar year condemns seven Athenian youths and seven maidens to be eaten by the ferocious Minotaur. Minos begins at the Olympic Academy\, where Billy’s friend Sara has just carved a magic circle in the hardwood bathroom floor with an ancient double-edged dagger. She twirls inside her circle calling on the Oracle of Apollo to help her find a modern-day Theseus\, the reincarnation of Athens’ “hero of all heroes” who slew the Minotaur. Lost in her magical dance\, she knocks over a candle\, sets fire to the curtains\, and is suspended from school. She is sent to Abe for treatment. Abe discovers that Sara has patched together an entire mythological universe and language with which she tries to make him see that lives are at stake. It is not easy to convince the authorities. But Corey knows that young people are indeed being murdered\, and soon Sara’s dire warnings begin to make sense. But who is the modern-day descendant of Minos? The key is inside Sara’s head.

SUMMARY:Beth Gutcheon reads from her latest Death at Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:From the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Still Missing\, More Than You Know\, and Gossip comes the first entry in a stylish and witty mystery series featuring a pair of unlikely investigators—a shrewd novel of manners with a dark heart of murder at its center\, set in small-town New England. Indulging their pleasure in travel and new experiences\, recently retired private school head Maggie Detweiler and her old friend\, socialite Hope Babbin\, are heading to Maine. The trip—to attend a week-long master cooking class at the picturesque Victorian-era Oquossoc Mountain Inn—is an experiment to test their compatibility for future expeditions. Hope and Maggie have barely finished their first aperitifs when the inn’s tranquility is shattered by the arrival of Alexander and Lisa Antippas and Lisa’s actress sister\, Glory. Imperious and rude\, these Hollywood one-percenters quickly turn the inn upside-down with their demanding behavior\, igniting a flurry of speculation and gossip among staff and guests alike. \nBut the disruption soon turns deadly. After a suspicious late-night fire is brought under control\, Alex’s charred body is found in the ashes. Enter the town’s deputy sheriff\, Buster Babbin\, Hope’s long-estranged son and Maggie’s former student. A man who’s finally found his footing in life\, Buster needs a win. But he’s quickly pushed aside by the “big boys\,” senior law enforcement and high-powered state’s attorneys who swoop in to make a quick arrest.

SUMMARY:Whit Stillman reads from Love & Friendship
DESCRIPTION:Austen’s unfinished (funniest and least known) novel is a comedy-of-manners centered on recently widowed Lady Susan Vernon—impossibly beautiful\, witty\, and completely self-absorbed—who arrives at her brother-in-law’s estate to find husbands for both herself and her daughter. With a pitch-perfect Austenian sensibility and wry social commentary\, filmmaker and writer Whit Stillman cleverly reimagines one of our greatest writers’ unfinished works. \nPlease note\, reading will begin at 5:00 not 6:00.

SUMMARY:Gerald Marzorati reads from his new book Late to the Ball
DESCRIPTION:An award-winning author shares the inspiring and entertaining account of his pursuit to become a nationally competitive tennis player—at the age of sixty. \nBeing a man or a woman in your early sixties is different than it was a generation or two ago\, at least for the more fortunate of us. We aren’t old…yet. But we sense it coming: Careers are winding down\, kids are gone\, parents are dying (friends\, too)\, and our bodies are no longer youthful or even middle-aged. Learning to play tennis in your fifties is no small feat\, but becoming a serious\, competitive tennis player at the age of sixty is a whole other matter. It requires training the body to defy age\, and to methodically build one’s game—the strokework\, footwork\, strategy\, and mental toughness. \nGerry Mazorati started playing the game seriously in his mid-fifties. He had the strong desire to lead an examined physical life\, to push his body into the “encore” of middle age. In Late to the Ball Mazorati writes vividly about the difficulties\, frustrations\, and the triumphs of his becoming a seriously good tennis player. He takes on his quest with complete vigor and absolute determination to see it through\, providing a rich\, vicarious experience involving the science of aging\, his existential battle with time\, and the beautiful\, mysterious game of tennis. Late to the Ball is also captivating evidence that the rest of the Baby Boomer generation\, now between middle age and old age\, can find their own quest and do the same.

SUMMARY:Emily Voigt reads from her debut The Dragon Behind the Glass
DESCRIPTION:A young man is murdered for his prized pet fish. An Asian tycoon buys a single specimen for $150\,000. Meanwhile\, a pet detective chases smugglers through the streets of New York. Delving into an outlandish realm of obsession\, paranoia\, and criminality\, The Dragon Behind the Glass tells the story of a fish like none other: a powerful predator dating to the age of the dinosaurs. Treasured as a status symbol believed to bring good luck\, the Asian arowana is bred on high-security farms in Southeast Asia and sold by the hundreds of thousands each year. In the United States\, however\, it’s protected by the Endangered Species Act and illegal to bring into the country—though it remains the object of a thriving black market. From the South Bronx to Singapore\, journalist Emily Voigt follows the trail of the fish\, ultimately embarking on a years-long quest to find the arowana in the wild\, venturing deep into some of the last remaining tropical wildernesses on earth. \nWith a captivating blend of personal reporting\, history\, and science\, The Dragon Behind the Glasstraces our modern fascination with aquarium fish back to the era of exploration when intrepid naturalists stood on the cutting edge of modern science\, discovering new and wondrous species in jungles all over the world. In an age when freshwater fish now comprise one of the most rapidly vanishing groups of animals on the planet\, Voigt unearths a paradoxical truth behind the dragon fish’s rise to fame—one that calls into question how we protect the world’s rarest species. An elegant exploration of the human conquest of nature\, The Dragon Behind the Glassrevels in the sheer wonder of life’s diversity and lays bare our deepest desire—to hold onto what is wild.
