SUMMARY:Please join us to celebrate the publication of Up in the Leaves with author Shira Boss
DESCRIPTION:This charming picture book tells the true story of Bob Redman\, a child growing up in New York City. Tired of the noise\, the people\, and all the rushing around\, Bob took shelter in the natural beauty of Central Park—where he covertly built a series of amazing treehouses\, starting with a simple platform and growing more and more elaborate over time. He played cat-and-mouse with the park workers\, who kept tearing down his houses\, until he was finally caught. But his story ends with a happy surprise.

SUMMARY:Zack O'Malley Greenburg reads from his new book 3 Kings
DESCRIPTION:Tracing the careers of hip-hop’s three most dynamic stars\, this deeply reported history brilliantly examines the entrepreneurial genius of the first musician tycoons: Diddy\, Dr. Dre\, and Jay-Z \nBeing successful musicians was simply never enough for the three kings of hip-hop. Diddy\, Dr. Dre\, and Jay-Z lifted themselves from childhood adversity into tycoon territory\, amassing levels of fame and wealth that not only outshone all other contemporary hip-hop artists\, but with a combined net worth of well over $2 billion made them the three richest American musicians\, period. Yet their fortunes have little to do with selling their own albums: between Diddy’s Ciroc vodka\, Dre’s $3 billion sale of his Beats headphones to Apple\, and Jay-Z’s Tidal streaming service and other assets\, these artists have transcended pop music fame to become lifestyle icons and moguls. \nHip-hop is no longer just a musical genre; it’s become a way of life that encompasses fashion\, film\, food\, drink\, sports\, electronics and more – one that has opened new paths to profit and to critical and commercial acclaim. Thanks in large part to the Three Kings-who all started their own record labels and released classic albums before moving on to become multifaceted businessmen-hip-hop has been transformed from a genre spawned in poverty into a truly global multibillion-dollar industry.

SUMMARY:Jane Isay reads from her new book on being a grandparent Unconditional Love
DESCRIPTION:A beautiful meditation on the joys of being a grandparent and a practical guide to help you and your adult children make the most of your relationship with a grandchild. \nFor many grandparents\, a grandchild offers a second chance to become the parent they didn’t have the time or the energy to be when raising their own children. Being a grandparent\, family relationships expert Jane Isay argues\, is the opportunity to turn missed opportunities into delight. Drawing on her personal experience\, dozens of interviews\, and the latest findings in psychology\, Isay shows how a grandparent can use his or her unique perspective and experience to create a deep and lasting bond that will echo throughout a grandchild’s life. She explores the realities of today’s multigenerational families\, identifying problems and offering solutions to enhance love\, trust\, and understanding between grandparents\, parents\, and grandchildren. She also offers a wealth of practical advice\, from when to get involved\, when to stay away\, and how to foster a strong relationship when you’re separated by long distance. Unconditional Love advocates for honest conversation\, thinking in the long run and healing breaches in order to be together\, understanding that most of us try to do our best and need to be forgiven if we fail. Isay argues that secrets and surprises may tilt the boat but won’t necessarily sink it and that grandparents and their grown children are happier when they give each other the benefit of the doubt. Most importantly\, she writes\, the advent of grandchildren offers families the opportunity for healing and redemption—if we seize the moment. In lovely prose and through delightful stories\, Isay shows us how we can.

SUMMARY:Kate Greathead reads from her debut novel Laura & Emma
DESCRIPTION:A tender\, witty debut novel about a single mother raising her daughter among the upper crust of New York City society in the late twentieth century from a nine-time Moth StorySLAM champion. \nLaura hails from the Upper East Side of Manhattan\, born into old money\, drifting aimlessly into her early thirties. One weekend in 1981 she meets Jefferson. The two sleep together. He vanishes. And Laura realizes she’s pregnant. Enter: Emma.\nDespite her progressive values\, Laura raises Emma by herself in the same blue-blood world of private schools and summer homes she grew up in\, buoyed by a host of indelible characters\, including her eccentric mother\, who informs her society friends and Emma herself that she was fathered by a Swedish sperm donor; her brother\, whose childhood stutter reappears in the presence of their forbidding father; an exceptionally kind male pediatrician; and her overbearing best friend\, whose life has followed the Park Avenue script in every way except for childbearing. Meanwhile\, the apple falls far from the tree with Emma\, who begins to question her environment in a way her mother never could. Told in vignettes that mine the profound from the mundane\, with meditations on everything from sex and death to insomnia and the catharsis of crying on the subway\, a textured portrait emerges of a woman struggling to understand herself\, her daughter\, and the changing landscape of New York City in the eighties and nineties. Laura & Emma is an acutely insightful exploration of class and family warfare from a new author whose offbeat sensibility\, understated wit\, and stylish prose celebrate the comedy and pathos that make us human.

SUMMARY:Beth Gutcheon reads from her new novel The Affliction
DESCRIPTION:The New York Times bestselling author delivers the second installment in her clever romp of a mystery series combining social comedy and dark-hearted murder—a novel set at a girls’ boarding school in a picturesque Hudson River town with more than  its  share of  secrets.   Since retiring as head of a famous New York City private school\, Maggie Detweiler is busier than ever. Chairing a team to evaluate the faltering Rye Manor School for girls\, she will determine whether\, in spite of its fabled past\, the school has a future at all. At a reception for the faculty and trustees to “welcome” Maggie’s team\, no one seems more keen for all to go well than Florence Meagher\, a star teacher who is loved and respected in spite of her affliction—that she can never stop talking. Two days later\, Florence’s body is found in the campus swimming pool. \nWhat on earth is going on in this idyllic town? Is this a run-of-the-mill marital murder? Or does it have something to do with the school board treasurer’s real estate schemes? And what is up with the vicious cyber-bullying that’s unsettled everyone\, or with the disturbed teenaged boy whom Florence had made a pet of? And is it possible that someone killed Florence just so she’d finally shut up?

SUMMARY:Daniela Lamas\, author of You Can Stop Humming Now\, in conversation with Susannah Cahalan
DESCRIPTION:A critical care doctor’s breathtaking stories about what it means to be saved by modern medicine\n\nModern medicine is a world that glimmers with new technology and cutting-edge research. To the public eye\, medical stories often begin with sirens and flashing lights and culminate in survival or death. But these are only the most visible narratives. As a critical care doctor treating people at their sickest\, Daniela Lamas is fascinated by a different story: what comes after for those whose lives are extended by days\, months\, or years as a result of our treatments and technologies? \nIn You Can Stop Humming Now\, Lamas explores the complex answers to this question through intimate accounts of patients and their families. A grandfather whose failing heart has been replaced by a battery-operated pump; a salesman who found himself a kidney donor on social media; a college student who survived a near fatal overdose and returned home\, alive but not the same; and a young woman navigating an adulthood she never thought she’d live to see — these moving narratives paint a detailed picture of the fragile border between sickness and health. \nRiveting\, gorgeously told\, and deeply personal\, You Can Stop Humming Now is a compassionate\, uncompromising look at the choices and realities that many of us\, and our families\, may one day face. \nSusannah Cahalan is the New York Times bestselling author of Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness. She serves as a book reviewer at the New York Post and is working on a new book that delves into the modern history of psychiatry\, The Great Pretender\, out soon.
