SUMMARY:Emily Lodge reads from her new book The Falcon Diaries
DESCRIPTION:An American writer joins her husband\, a contractor/consultant working in Iraq\, to live in Amman\, Jordan\, and keeps a diary of day-to-day events. Out of this emerge so many stories of the pain and frustration of a forgotten world\, which precedes the Iraq war\, dating from a half-century earlier—the Palestinians who fled Israel in the ’48 and ’67 wars. In both cases — whether the Iraqi war or the Israeli-Palestinian conflict — she finds herself squarely within the enemy camp and seeks to find out why that is\, delving into the history and layering it within the quotidian.

SUMMARY:Laura Jacobs reads from her new book Celestial Bodies
DESCRIPTION:As much as we may enjoy Swan Lake or The Nutcracker\, for many of us ballet is a foreign language. It communicates through movement\, not words\, and its history lies almost entirely abroad-in Russia\, Italy\, and France. In Celestial Bodies\, dance critic Laura Jacobs makes the foreign familiar\, providing a lively\, poetic\, and uniquely accessible introduction to the world of classical dance. Combining history\, interviews with dancers\, technical definitions\, descriptions of performances\, and personal stories\, Jacobs offers an intimate and passionate guide to watching ballet and understanding the central elements of choreography. \nBeautifully written and elegantly illustrated with original drawings\, Celestial Bodies is essential reading for all lovers of this magnificent art form.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Winthrop reads from her new novel The Mercy Seat
DESCRIPTION:Winthrop tells the arresting tale—from multiple points of view—of a community locked in struggle with itself. Set during the hours leading up to the scheduled execution of a young black man for the alleged rape of a white woman in 1943 small-town Louisiana\, Winthrop expertly captures the intimacy and tension of a town\, its people\, and its injustices. \nOn the eve of his execution by electric chair\, eighteen-year-old Willie Jones sits in his cell in New Iberia awaiting his end. Across the state\, a flatbed truck driven by a convict and his keeper carries the executioner’s chair from its home at the state penitentiary in Angola. On a nearby highway\, Willie’s father Frank is hauling a gravestone for his son in a wagon pulled by his aged\, fading mule. In his office the District Attorney who prosecuted Willie reckons with the sentencing and his own conscience\, while at a gas station at the crossroads outside of town\, married couple Ora and Dale grapple with their grief and their secrets.As the members of the township reflect on the implications of Willie’s upcoming execution\, an intricately layered portrait of a community emerges\, bearing the deep stain of the color line.  Moving from voice to voice\, Winthrop elegantly conveys both the ugly realities and the touching intimacies of a small town and its residents. The Mercy Seat is a brutally smart and tender novel from one of our most acute literary observers.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Barlow Rogers presents her new book Saving Central Park
DESCRIPTION:The story of how one woman’s long love affair with New York’s Central Park led her to organize its rescue from a state of serious decline\, returning it to the beautiful place of recreational opportunity and spiritual sustenance that it is today. \nElizabeth Barlow Rogers opens with a quick survey of her early life–a middle-class upbringing in Texas; college at Wellesley\, marriage\, a master’s degree in city planning at Yale. And then her move to New York\, where she starts a family and\, when she finds being a mother and a housewife is not enough\, pours herself into the protection and enhancement of the city’s green spaces. Interwoven into her own story is a comprehensive history of Central Park: its design and construction as a scenic masterpiece; the alterations of each succeeding era; the addition of numerous facilities for sports and play; and finally\, the “anything goes” phase of the 1960s and 70s\, which was often fun but nearly destroyed the park. The two narratives continue to entwine as she finds a job in the administration of Central Park\, founds the Central Park Conservancy\, and transforms both the park and herself–a transformation that has led to the writing of her many books\, to travels that have taken her to parks and gardens around the world\, and to solidifying the prestige of one of New York’s most conspicuous landmarks.

SUMMARY:Adam Van Doren presents his new book The Stones of Yale
DESCRIPTION:What makes a university great? Its faculty? Its students? Its curriculum? All three to be sure. But also its architecture. Great buildings inspire. They transform how we think\, how we see\, how we learn—how we act. No one who enters the cathedral of Chartres is the same person coming out. \nToo often architectural critics focus on theory and analysis of a building rather than the visceral experience of seeing it and being in it. Van Doren is more interested in the stories\, in how Yale’s buildings made people feel\, not just the academic origins of their style or where their bricks were made. What was it like to live in them\, to study in them? What did people remember? \nPainter Adam Van Doren speaks to Yale alumni as diverse as actor Sam Waterston\, writers Christopher Buckley and David McCullough\, Yale librarian Judith Schiff\, former NFL great Calvin Hill\, architect Cesar Pelli among others\, and illustrates his book in gorgeous watercolor paintings of the buildings of Yale that interest him most.
