Now it’s a new year and they’re ready for Sofia to move on. \nProblem is\, Sofia can’t bounce back\, can’t recharge like a cellphone.

SUMMARY:Eden Collinsworth reads from her latest book Behaving Badly
DESCRIPTION:What is the relevance of morality today? Eden Collinsworth enlists the famous\, the infamous\, and the heretofore unheard-of to unravel how we make moral choices in an increasingly complex—and ethically flexible—age.\n\nTo call these unsettling times is an understatement: our political leaders are less and less respectable; in the realm of business\, cheating\, lying\, and stealing are hazily defined; and in daily life\, rapidly changing technology offers permission to act in ways inconceivable without it. Yet somehow\, this hasn’t quite led to a complete free-for-all—people still draw lines around what is acceptable and what is not. Collinsworth sets out to understand how and why. In her intrepid quest\, she squares off  with a prime minister\, the editor of London’s Financial Times\, a holocaust survivor\, a pop star\, and a former commander of the U.S. Air Force to grapple with the impracticality of applying morals to foreign policy; precisely when morality gets lost in the making of money; what happens to morality without free will; whether “immoral” women are just those having a better time; why celebrities have become the new moral standard-bearers; and if testosterone is morality’s enemy or its hero. \n\nSEE LESS

SUMMARY:Please join us for the launch of Botanical Shakespeare with author Gerit Quealy
DESCRIPTION:A captivating\, beautifully illustrated\, one-of-a-kind color compendium of the flowers\, fruits\, herbs\, trees\, seeds\, and grasses cited in the works of the world’s greatest playwright\, William Shakespeare\, accompanied by their companion quotes from all of his plays and poems. With a foreword by Dame Helen Mirren—the first foreword she has ever contributed. \nIn this striking compilation\, Shakespeare historian Gerit Quealy and respected Japanese artist Sumié Hasegawa combine their knowledge and skill in this first and only book that examines every plant that appears in the works of Shakespeare. \nBotanical Shakespeare opens with a brief look at the Bard’s relationship to the plants mentioned in his works—a diversity that illuminates his knowledge of the science of botany\, as well as the colloquy\, revealing his unmatched skill for creating metaphorical connections and interweaving substantive philosophy. At the heart of the book are “portraits” of the over 170 flowers\, fruits\, grains\, grasses\, trees\, herbs\, seeds and vegetables that Shakespeare mentions in his plays and poems. Botanical Shakespeare features a gorgeous color illustration of each\, giving a “face” to the name\, alongside the specific text in which it appears and the character(s) who utter the lines in which it is mentioned. \nThis fascinating visual compendium also includes a dictionary describing each plant—such as Eglantine\, a wild rose with a slight prickle\, cherished for its singular scent\, superior to any other rose; and the difference between apples and apple-john—along with indices listing the botanical by play/poem\, by character\, and genus for easy reference\, ideal for gardeners and thoughtful birthday gift-giving. \nThis breathtaking\, incomparable collection of exquisite artwork and companion quotes offers unique depth and insight into Shakespeare and his timeless work through the unusual perspective of the plants themselves.

SUMMARY:Frances Fitzgerald discusses her latest book The Evangelicals
DESCRIPTION:This groundbreaking book from Pulitzer Prize­–winning historian Frances Fitzgerald is the first to tell the powerful\, dramatic story of the Evangelical movement in America—from the Puritan era to the 2016 presidential election. \nThe evangelical movement began in the revivals of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries\, known in America as the Great Awakenings. A populist rebellion against the established churches\, it became the dominant religious force in the country.  During the nineteenth century white evangelicals split apart dramatically\, first North versus South\, and then at the end of the century\, modernist versus fundamentalist. After World War II\, Billy Graham\, the revivalist preacher\, attracted enormous crowds and tried to gather all Protestants under his big tent\, but the civil rights movement and the social revolution of the sixties drove them apart again. By the 1980s Jerry Falwell and other southern televangelists\, such as Pat Robertson\, had formed the Christian right. Protesting abortion and gay rights\, they led the South into the Republican Party\, and for thirty-five years they were the sole voice of evangelicals to be heard nationally. Eventually a younger generation of leaders protested the Christian right’s close ties with the Republican Party and proposed a broader agenda of issues\, such as climate change\, gender equality\, and immigration reform. \nEvangelicals have in many ways defined the nation. They have shaped our culture and our politics. Frances Fitzgerald’s narrative of this distinctively American movement is a major work of history\, piecing together the centuries-long story for the first time. Evangelicals now constitute twenty-five percent of the American population\, but they are no longer monolithic in their politics. They range from Tea Party supporters to social reformers. Still\, with the decline of religious faith generally\, Fitzgerald suggests that evangelical churches must embrace ethnic minorities if they are to survive.

SUMMARY:Bethany Ball launches her debut novel What To Do About the Solomons
DESCRIPTION:Short\, elegant\, sexy\, and provocative\, Bethany Ball’s debut What to Do About the Solomons weaves contemporary Jewish history through a distinctly modern\, propulsive\, and savvy tale of family life. \nMeet Marc Solomon\, an Israeli ex-navy commando now living in L.A.\, who is falsely accused of money laundering through his asset management firm. As the Solomons’ Santa Monica home is raided\, Marc’s American wife\, Carolyn—concealing her own dark past—makes hopeless attempts to hold their family of five together. But news of the scandal makes its way from America to the rest of the Solomon clan on the kibbutz in the Jordan River Valley. There we encounter various members of the family and the community—from Marc’s self-absorbed movie actress sister\, Shira\, and her forgotten son\, Joseph; to his rich and powerful construction magnate father\, Yakov; to his former star-crossed love\, Maya; and his brother-in-law\, Guy Gever\, a local ranger turned “artist.” As the secrets and rumors of the kibbutz are revealed through various memories and tales\, we witness the things that keep the Solomons together and those that tear them apart.

SUMMARY:Beatrix Ost reads from her latest memoir More Than Everything
DESCRIPTION:Beatrix Ost’s memoir of her artistic awakening and early marriage opens on the heels of Germany’s recovery from the self-imposed disasters of World War II. She is part of the new generation that dances disobediently in the bombed-out villas and underground jazz caverns of Munich. Beatrix rides the dynamic decade up through the world of art\, fashion\, and cinema into the revolution of politics and consciousness. \nMarriage to the self-made prodigy and archaeologist\, Ferdinand\, impresario of the Hot Club\, draws her into the mystical realm of the ancient Mexican gods. Soon\, two sons are born. They make an odyssey through Mexico where\, under the wing of the artistic elite\, their homes full of Riveras and Kahlos\, the initial impression is intoxicating. But the further they press inland\, the more Ferdinand loses himself in his obsession and addictions. \nOst draws us into the vortex of human craving to portray the complexities of her early marriage to a man scarred by the war\, climbing the magical mountain of his own desires. \n  \nStyle icon Beatrix Ost arrived in New York in 1975 and was swiftly discovered by the New York Times as one of the city’s most elegant fusions of art and fashion. She is featured in two volumes of the book Advanced Style by Ari Seth Cohen.

SUMMARY:Dani Shapiro reads from her latest book Hourglass
DESCRIPTION:Hourglass is an inquiry into how marriage is transformed by time–abraded\, strengthened\, shaped in miraculous and sometimes terrifying ways by accident and experience. With courage and relentless honesty\, Dani Shapiro opens the door to her house\, her marriage\, and her heart\, and invites us to witness her own marital reckoning–a reckoning in which she confronts both the life she dreamed of and the life she made\, and struggles to reconcile the girl she was with the woman she has become.  What are the forces that shape our most elemental bonds? How do we make lifelong commitments in the face of identities that are continuously shifting\, and commit ourselves for all time when the self is so often in flux? What happens to love in the face of the unexpected\, in the face of disappointment and compromise–how do we wrest beauty from imperfection\, find grace in the ordinary\, desire what we have rather than what we lack? Drawing on literature\, poetry\, philosophy\, and theology\, Shapiro writes gloriously of the joys and challenges of matrimonial life\, in a luminous narrative that unfurls with urgent immediacy and sharp intelligence. Artful\, intensely emotional work from one of our finest writers.

SUMMARY:Adam Kirsch discusses his new book The Global Novel
DESCRIPTION:What will 21st-century fiction look like? \nAcclaimed literary critic Adam Kirsch examines some of our most beloved writers\, including Haruki Murakami\, Elena Ferrante\, Roberto Bolaño\, and Margaret Atwood\, to better understand literature in the age of globalization. \nThe global novel\, he finds\, is not so much a genre as a way of imagining the world\, one that allows the novel to address both urgent contemporary concerns—climate change\, genetic engineering\, and immigration—along with timeless themes\, such as morality\, society\, and human relationships. Whether its stories take place on the scale of the species or the small town\, the global novel situates its characters against the widest background of the imagination. The way we live now demands nothing less than the global perspective our best novelists have to offer.
