SUMMARY:Elinor Lipman returns to celebrate the publication of Good Riddance
DESCRIPTION:Elinor Lipman returns to Mrs. Dalloway’s to celebrate the publication of her latest novel\, Good Riddance\, in which one woman’s trash becomes another woman’s treasure\, with deliriously entertaining results. A pitch-perfect\, whip-smart new novel from an “enchanting\, infinitely witty yet serious\, exceptionally intelligent\, wholly original\, and Austen-like stylist” (Washington Post).\n\n\n\n\nIn this delightful new romantic comedy\, Daphne Maritch doesn’t quite know what to make of the heavily annotated high school yearbook she inherits from her mother\, who held this relic dear. Too dear.The late June Winter Maritch was the teacher to whom the class of ’69 had dedicated its yearbook\, and in turn she went on to attend every reunion\, scribbling notes and observations after each one–not always charitably–and noting who overstepped boundaries of many kinds. In a fit of decluttering (the yearbook did not\, Daphne concluded\, “spark joy”)\, she discards it when she moves to a small New York City apartment. But when it’s found in the recycling bin by a busybody neighbor/documentary filmmaker\, the yearbook’s mysteries–not to mention her own family’s–take on a whole new urgency\, and Daphne finds herself entangled in a series of events both poignant and absurd. \nElinor Lipman is the award-winning author of eleven novels\, including The View from Penthouse B and The Inn at Lake Devine; one essay collection\, I Can’t Complain; and Tweet Land of Liberty: Irreverent Rhymes from the Political Circus. She lives in New York City.

SUMMARY:Joyce Carol Oates reads from her novel: The Hazards of Time Travel
DESCRIPTION:Joyce Carol Oates reads from her latest novel The Hazards of Time Travel\, an ingenious\, dystopian novel of one young woman’s resistance against the constraints of an oppressive society.\n\n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of The Hazards of Time Travel by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Time travel”–and its hazards–are made literal in this astonishing new novel in which a recklessly idealistic girl dares to test the perimeters of her tightly controlled (future) world and is punished by being sent back in time to a region of North America–“Wainscotia\, Wisconsin”–that existed eighty years before. Cast adrift in time in this idyllic Midwestern town she is set upon a course of “rehabilitation”–but cannot resist falling in love with a fellow exile and questioning the constrains of the Wainscotia world with results that are both devastating and liberating. \nArresting and visionary\, Hazards of Time Travel is both a novel of harrowing discovery and an exquisitely wrought love story that may be Joyce Carol Oates’s most unexpected novel so far. \nJoyce Carol Oates is a recipient of the National Medal of Humanities\, the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award\, the National Book Award\, and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction\, and has been several times nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of our time\, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys\,Blonde\, which was nominated for the National Book Award\, and the New York Timesbestseller The Falls\, which won the 2005 Prix Femina. She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Princeton University and has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1978. She spends winters in Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Kurt Eichenwald presents A Mind Unraveled: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Kurt Eichenwald presents A Mind Unraveled: A Memoir\, the compelling story of an acclaimed journalist and New York Times bestselling author’s ongoing struggle with epilepsy– his torturous decision to keep his condition a secret to avoid discrimination\, and his ensuing decades-long battle to not only survive\, but to thrive.\n\n\n\n\n“Inspirational in the true sense of the word….It is written with great verve and wisdom by someone who has closely and thoughtfully detailed his own plight as well as the journey out of it….A book to take heart from.”–Daphne Merkin\, The New York Times Book Review \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of A Mind Unraveled by speaking to a bookseller or ordering through our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs a college freshman\, Kurt Eichenwald awoke one night on the floor of his dorm room\, confused and in pain. In the aftermath of that critical moment\, his once-carefree life would be consumed by confrontations with medical incompetence\, discrimination that almost cost him his education and employment\, physical abuse\, and dark moments when he contemplated suicide. \nThis is the story of one man’s battle to pursue his dreams despite an often incapacitating brain disorder. From his early experiences of fear and denial to his exasperating search for treatment\, Eichenwald provides a deeply candid account of his years facing this misunderstood and often stigmatized condition. He details his encounters with the doctors whose negligence could have killed him\, but for the heroic actions of a brilliant neurologist and the family and friends who fought for him.  \nUltimately\, A Mind Unraveled is an inspirational story\, one that chronicles how Eichenwald\, faced often with his own mortality\, transformed trauma into a guide for reaching the future he desired. Defying relentless threats to his emotional and physical well-being\, he affirmed his decision to never give up\, and in the process learned how to rise from the depths of despair to the heights of unimagined success. \nKurt Eichenwald is the author of four previous nonfiction books. His second\, The Informant\, was made into a movie starring Matt Damon and directed by Steven Soderbergh. In addition to his distinguished work as a senior writer at Newsweek and a contributing editor at Vanity Fair\, Eichenwald spent two decades as a senior writer at The New York Times\, where he was a two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He is also a two-time winner of the George Polk Award\, as well as the winner of the Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism and an Emmy Award nominee. He lives in Dallas with his family.
