SUMMARY:Paul Batista reads from his new thriller Accusation
DESCRIPTION:World renowned\, revered actor Aaron Julian is awakened at two a.m. by his agent who informs him that he has been accused of sexual harassment. Young actresses will break the story on prime-time TV that morning—with their lawyer\, the attorney who led the charge in the priests’ sexual abuse cases. \nAaron and his celebrity pop-singer wife\, Veda\, vehemently deny the charges\, and hire powerful defense lawyer Raquel Rematti. But when the plaintiffs’ lawyer is murdered in Central Park\, the stakes skyrocket and the conspiracies spiral out of control. \nDespite revelation after revelation\, Aaron continues to proclaim his innocence. And in his defense\, Rematti uses every tool in the legal system to produce courtroom drama that is unparalleled.

SUMMARY:Victoria Shorr reads from her new book Mid-Air
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Shorr’s remarkable gift for depicting the inner lives of complex characters shines in two powerful explorations of family\, ambition\, class\, and status. \nIn “Great Uncle Edward\,” a family gathers for dinner. At ninety-three\, Great Uncle Edward commands the table in his three-piece suit; Cousin Russell attended both Harvard and Yale but is now reduced to selling off the family books; sisters Betty and Molly are caught between ghosts of a storied past and creeping destitution. These lives are signposts along the downward spiral of an old aristocracy. “Cleveland Auto Wrecking” introduces Sam White\, an immigrant from eastern Europe. He cannot read but has a gift for math and an instinct for the value of junk. We follow his clan through the Depression to the postwar boom in the West\, where their fortunes soar\, creating new tests of loyalty. \nTaken together\, these two novellas might be the reverse images of the American dream in the twentieth century. They ask to what degree\, in the face of such powerful forces as love\, death\, and social constraints\, do any of us have control over our own lives.
