SUMMARY:Laurence Bergreen reads from his new book Casanova
DESCRIPTION:The definitive biography of the impoverished child\, abandoned by his parents\, who became the famous writer\, notorious libertine\, and self-invented genius whose name still resonates today: Giacomo Casanova. \nToday\, “Casanova” is a synonym for “great lover\,” yet the real story of this remarkable figure is little known. Giacomo Casanova was raised by his maternal grandmother\, an illiterate peasant. His birthplace\, Venice\, was a republic in decline\, reputedly the most debauched city in Europe. Casanova would add to the republic’s reputation. Over the course of his lifetime\, he claimed to have seduced more than 100 women\, among them married women\, young women in convents\, girls just barely in their teens\, and in one notorious instance\, his own illegitimate daughter. \nCasanova came of age in a Venice filled with spies and informers. Naturally brilliant\, he was intellectually curious and read forbidden books\, for which he was jailed. He staged a dramatic escape from Venice’s notorious prison\, the only person known to have done so. He then fled to France\, where he invented the national lottery that still exists to this day. But\, intemperate by nature\, he made enemies at the French court. He crisscrossed Europe\, landing for a while in St. Petersburg\, where he was admitted to the court of Catherine the Great. He corresponded with Voltaire and met Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte—assisting them as they composed the timeless opera Don Giovanni. And he wrote what many consider the greatest memoir of the era\, the 12-volume Story of My Life. \nA figure straight out of a Henry Fielding novel: erotic\, brilliant\, impulsive\, and desperate for recognition\, Casanova was a self-destructive genius. This witty\, roisterous biography exposes his astonishing life in rich\, intimate detail. At the same time\, it is a dazzling portrait of eighteenth-century Europe from serving girls to kings and courtiers. Esteemed biographer Laurence Bergreen brings a sensual world vividly alive in this irresistible book.

SUMMARY:Bill Sanderson reads from his debut Bulletins From Dallas
DESCRIPTION:An in-depth look at one of the twentieth century’s star reporters and his biggest story. \nThanks to one reporter’s skill\, we can fix the exact moment on November 22\, 1963 when the world stopped and held its breath: At 12:34 p.m. Central Time\, UPI White House reporter Merriman Smith broke the news that shots had been fired at President Kennedy’s motorcade. Most people think Walter Cronkite was the first to tell America about the assassination. But when Cronkite broke the news on TV\, he read from one of Smith’s dispatches. At Parkland Hospital\, Smith saw President Kennedy’s blood-soaked body in the back of his limousine before the emergency room attendants arrived. Two hours later\, he was one of three journalists to witness President Johnson’s swearing-in aboard Air Force One. Smith rightly won a Pulitzer Prize for the vivid story he wrote for the next day’s morning newspapers. \nSmith’s scoop is journalism legend. But the full story of how he pulled off the most amazing reportorial coup has never been told. As the top White House reporter of his time\, Smith was a bona fide celebrity and even a regular on late-night TV. But he has never been the subject of a biography. \nWith access to a trove of Smith’s personal letters and papers and through interviews with Smith’s family and colleagues\, veteran news reporter Bill Sanderson will crack open the legend. Bulletins from Dallas will tell for the first time how Smith beat his competition on the story\, and will show how the biggest scoop of his career foreshadowed his personal downfall.

SUMMARY:Diane B. Saxton reads from Peregrine Island
DESCRIPTION:The Peregrine family’s lives are turned upside down one summer when so-called “art experts” appear on the doorstep of their Connecticut island home to appraise a favorite heirloom painting. When incriminating papers\, as well as other paintings\, are discovered behind the artwork in question\, the appraisal turns into a full-fledged investigation. Antagonism mounts between grandmother\, mother\, and child\, who begin to suspect one another\, as well as the shady newcomers in their midst\, of foul play. \nAs the summer progresses and the Peregrines discover facts about their past in the course of the investigation\, they learn that people—including them—are not always who they appear to be. But when they uncover the painting’s deepest secret\, it gives them the gift of love that they have unconsciously been seeking all along.
