SUMMARY:Celebrate the publication of Paris Nights with Cliff Simon and Loren Stephens
DESCRIPTION:Taking a look back\, we see twelve-year-old Cliff helming a racing dinghy in the midst of a thunderstorm on the Vaal River. His father yells at him not to be a sissy\, and he brings the boat back to shore alone.\nWe then travel to London with his family escaping the tumult of Apartheid.\nHe trains for the Olympics\, but drops out\, enrolling in the South African military where he subjected to harsh treatment and name calling – Fokken\nJood. After a honorable discharge\, he works in cabaret at seaside resorts and is recruited as a gymnast in a cabaret\, where he realizes that the stage is his destiny. The memoir fast forwards to Cliff’s meteoric rise at the Moulin from swing dancer to principal in “Formidable.” Off stage he gets into fights with street thugs\, hangs out with diamond smugglers\, and has his pick of gorgeous women. With a year at the Moulin to his credit\, doors open for him internationally and back in South Africa. He earns a starring role in\n“Egoli: Place of Gold\,” and marries his long-time girlfriend\, Colette. On their honeymoon to Paris\, Cliff says\, “Merci Paris for the best year of my life.”

SUMMARY:Mary Stewart Hammond reads from her new collection of poetry Entering History
DESCRIPTION:Lyrical narratives that chronicle a long marriage\, rich with wit\, dark irony\, and poignancy. \nIn her long-awaited second volume\, Mary Stewart Hammond chronicles a long marriage with sharp wit\, dark irony\, and poignancy. As James Merrill says of Hammond’s poems\, they “brim with what the whole world knows.” \nEntering History opens on a middle-aged couple\, modern-day travelers in an ancient setting. The collection follows their relationship through time and place\, combining the personal and the historical in stories of the family—siblings\, a daughter\, and the very different marriage of the poet’s parents. \nThe marriage poems share the intimacy\, erotic playfulness\, irritations\, worries\, and angers that are part of an enduring love and a long marriage. In “Portrait of My Husband Reading Henry James\,” the poet paints her husband using syntax and language that evoke James’s. In “Venasque\,” the wintry village\, perched on the edge of a cliff\, serves as a metaphor for the existential crisis facing the couple. \n“Lines composed at Beaufort\, South Carolina\, a few miles above Parris Island\,” about the poet’s brother\, moves back and forth between the Civil War and the preparations of troops for today’s wars. In “Jacob and Esau with Sister\,” two brothers\, in a transaction as old as oral history\, highlight its consequences in the twenty-first century. “Anniversary” is a heartbreaking elegy for a third brother who kills himself. \nHammond reaches into the past and present of the American family\, closing Entering History where it began\, with the couple in bed\, now older\, harkening back to the bed they shared when they were newlyweds. These powerful\, beautifully crafted\, lyrical narratives give depth to an examination of life—its joys\, sorrows\, laughter\, and tragedies.

SUMMARY:Edward Sorel launches Mary Astor's Purple Diary
DESCRIPTION:In a hilarious send-up of sex\, scandal\, and the Golden Age of Hollywood\, legendary cartoonist Edward Sorel brings us a story (literally) ripped from the headlines of a bygone era. In 1965\, a young\, up-and-coming illustrator by the name of Edward Sorel was living in a $97-a-month railroad flat on Manhattan’s Upper East Side. Resolved to fix up the place\, Sorel began pulling up the linoleum on his kitchen floor\, tearing away layer after layer until he discovered a hidden treasure: issues of the New York Daily News and Daily Mirror from 1936\, each ablaze with a scandalous child custody trial taking place in Hollywood and starring the actress Mary Astor. Mary Astor’s Purple Diary narrates and illustrates the travails of the Oscar-winning actress alongside Sorel’s own personal story of discovering an unlikely muse. Throughout\, we get his wry take on all the juicy details of this particular slice of Hollywood Babylon\, including Mary’s life as a child star—her career in silent films began at age fourteen—presided over by her tyrannical father\, Otto\, who “managed” her full-time and treated his daughter like an ATM machine.

SUMMARY:Erica Abeel reads from her latest Wild Girls
