SUMMARY:Tom Barbash OFFSITE at Baker & Commons (right next door)
DESCRIPTION:Launch party for his terrific new novel The Dakota Winters\, an evocative and wildly absorbing story about the Winters\, a family living in New York City’s famed Dakota apartment building in the year leading up to John Lennon’s assassination. \n\n\n\n\n“Deft\, funny\, touching\, and sharply observed\, a marvel of tone\, and a skillful evocation of a dark passage in the history of New York City\, when all the fearful ironies of the world we live in now first came stalking into view.”–Michael Chabon \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s the fall of 1979 in New York City when twenty-three-year-old Anton Winter\, back from the Peace Corps and on the mend from a nasty bout of malaria\, returns to his childhood home in the Dakota. Anton’s father\, the famous late-night host Buddy Winter\, is there to greet him\, himself recovering from a breakdown. Before long\, Anton is swept up in an effort to reignite Buddy’s stalled career\, a mission that takes him from the gritty streets of New York\, to the slopes of the Lake Placid Olympics\, to the Hollywood Hills\, to the blue waters of the Bermuda Triangle\, and brings him into close quarters with the likes of Johnny Carson\, Ted and Joan Kennedy\, and a seagoing John Lennon. \nBut the more Anton finds himself enmeshed in his father’s professional and spiritual reinvention\, the more he questions his own path\, and fissures in the Winter family begin to threaten their close bond. By turns hilarious and poignant\, The Dakota Winters is a family saga\, a page-turning social novel\, and a tale of a critical moment in the history of New York City and the country at large. \nTom Barbash is the award-winning author of three books as well as numerous reviews\, stories essays\, and articles for publications including McSweeney’s\, Tin House\, the Believer\, Narrative Magazine\, One Story\, StoryQuarterly\, Zyzzyva\, the Missouri Review\, Story Magazine\, Men’s Journal\, ESPN the Magazine\, BookForum\, and the New York Times. He teaches at California College of the Arts. \n

SUMMARY:Tessa Hadley returns to Mrs. Dalloway's to read from her new novel\, Late in the Day.
DESCRIPTION:“Perceptive\, finely wrought….Hadley is a writer of the first order\, and this novel gives her the opportunity to explore\, with profound incisiveness and depth\, the inevitable changes inherent to long-lasting marriages.”– Publishers Weekly \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Late in the Day by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe lives of two close-knit couples are irrevocably changed by an untimely death in this latest from Hadley. Alexandr and Christine and Zachary and Lydia have been friends since they first met in their twenties. Thirty years later\, Alex and Christine are spending a leisurely summer’s evening at home when they receive a call from a distraught Lydia: she is at the hospital. Zach is dead.\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the wake of this profound loss\, the three friends find themselves unmoored; all agree that Zach\, with his generous\, grounded spirit\, was the irreplaceable one they couldn’t afford to lose. Inconsolable\, Lydia moves in with Alex and Christine. But instead of loss bringing them closer\, the three of them find over the following months that it warps their relationships\, as old entanglements and grievances rise from the past\, and love and sorrow give way to anger and bitterness. \nLate in the Day explores the complex webs at the center of our most intimate relationships\, to expose how\, beneath the seemingly dependable arrangements we make for our lives\, lie infinite alternate configurations. Ingeniously moving between past and present and through the intricacies of her characters’ thoughts and interactions\, Tessa Hadley once again “crystallizes the atmosphere of ordinary life in prose somehow miraculous and natural.” (Washington Post) \nTessa Hadley is the author of five highly praised novels: Accidents in the Home\, Everything Will Be All Right; The Master Bedroom; The London Train\, and Clever Girl\, and two short story collections\, Sunstroke and Married Love. Her stories appear regularly in The New Yorker. She lives in London.

SUMMARY:Sarah Stone in Conversation with Sylvia Brownrigg discussing Stone's new novel\, Hungry Ghost Theater

SUMMARY:Dani Shapiro returns to Mrs. Dalloway's to present Inheritance: A Memoir of Genealogy\, Paternity\, and Love.
DESCRIPTION:“Identity is frail business\, and in her searing story\, Dani Shapiro makes the most disquieting discovery: that everything\, from her lineage\, to her father\, down to her very own sense of self is an astounding error. How do we live with ourselves after finding we are not who we thought we were? The answer is not disquieting. It is beautiful.”–Andre Aciman\, author of Call Me by Your Name \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Inheritance by speaking with a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat makes us who we are? What combination of memory\, history\, biology\, experience\, and that ineffable thing called the soul defines us?\nIn the spring of 2016\, through a genealogy website to which she had whimsically submitted her DNA for analysis\, Shapiro received the stunning news that her father was not her biological father. She woke up one morning and her entire history–the life she had lived–crumbled beneath her. \nInheritance is a book about secrets–secrets within families\, kept out of shame or self-protectiveness; secrets we keep from one another in the name of love. It is the story of a woman’s urgent quest to unlock the story of her own identity\, a story that had been scrupulously hidden from her for more than fifty years\, years she had spent writing brilliantly\, and compulsively\, on themes of identity and family history. It is a book about the extraordinary moment we live in–a moment in which science and technology have outpaced not only medical ethics but also the capacities of the human heart to contend with the consequences of what we discover. \nTimely and unforgettable\, Dani Shapiro’s memoir is a gripping\, gut-wrenching exploration of genealogy\, paternity\, and love. \nDani Shapiro is the author of the memoirs Hourglass\, Still Writing\, Devotion\, and Slow Motion and five novels including Black & White and Family History. Also an essayist and a journalist\, Shapiro’s short fiction\, essays\, and journalistic pieces have appeared in The New Yorker\, Granta\, Tin House\, One Story\, Elle\, Vogue\, O\, The Oprah Magazine\, The New York Times Book Review\, the op-ed pages of the New York Times\, and many other publications. She has taught in the writing programs at Columbia\, NYU\, the New School\, and Wesleyan University; she is cofounder of the Sirenland Writers Conference in Positano\, Italy. She lives with her family in Litchfield County\, Connecticut. \n  \n

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.

DESCRIPTION:“An irresistible\, irrepressible comic saga. I utterly loved every page.”–Anthony Marra \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Oksana\, Behave! by speaking to one of our booksellers or ordering on our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen Oksana’s family begins their new American life in Florida after emigrating from Ukraine\, her physicist father delivers pizza at night to make ends meet\, her depressed mother sits home all day worrying\, and her flamboyant grandmother relishes the attention she gets when she walks Oksana to school\, not realizing that the street they’re walking down is known as Prostitute Street. Oksana just wants to have friends and lead a normal life–and though she constantly tries to do the right thing\, she keeps getting herself in trouble. \nAs she grows up\, she continues to misbehave\, from somewhat accidentally maiming the school bus bully\, to stealing the much-coveted (and expensive-to-replace) key to New York City’s Gramercy Park\, to falling in love with a married man. As her grandmother moves back to Ukraine\, her father gets a job at Goldman Sachs\, and her mother knits endless scarves\, Oksana longs for a Russia that looms large in her imagination but is a country she never really knew. \nWhen she visits her grandmother in Yalta and learns about Baba’s wartime past and her lost loves\, Oksana begins to see just how much alike they are\, and comes to a new understanding of how to embrace life and love without causing harm to the people dearest to her.

SUMMARY:Carolyn Burke presents Foursome: Alfred Stieglitz\, Georgia O'Keeffe\, Paul Strand\, Rebecca Salsbury
DESCRIPTION:Carolyn Burke presents Foursome: Alfred Stieglitz\, Georgia O’Keeffe\, Paul Strand\, Rebecca Salsbury\, A captivating\, spirited account of the intense relationship among four artists whose strong personalities\, passionate feelings\, and aesthetic ideals drew them together\, pulled them apart\, and profoundly influenced the very shape of twentieth-century art.\n\n\n\n\n“Intimate and exhaustively researched…offers detailed insight into one of the most important periods in American art.”–Publishers Weekly \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Foursome by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew York\, 1921: Alfred Stieglitz\, the most influential figure in early twentieth-century photography\, celebrates the success of his latest exhibition–the centerpiece\, a series of nude portraits of the young Georgia O’Keeffe\, soon to be his wife. It is a turning point for O’Keeffe\, poised to make her entrance into the art scene–and for Rebecca Salsbury\, the fiancée of Stieglitz’s protégé at the time\, Paul Strand. When Strand introduces Salsbury to Stieglitz and O’Keeffe\, it is the first moment of a bond between the two couples that will last more than a decade and reverberate throughout their lives. In the years that followed\, O’Keeffe and Stieglitz became the preeminent couple in American modern art\, spurring each other’s creativity. Observing their relationship led Salsbury to encourage new artistic possibilities for Strand and to rethink her own potential as an artist. In fact\, it was Salsbury\, the least known of the four\, who was the main thread that wove the two couples’ lives together. Carolyn Burke mines the correspondence of the foursome to reveal how each inspired\, provoked\, and unsettled the others while pursuing seminal modes of artistic innovation. The result is a surprising\, illuminating portrait of four extraordinary figures. \nCarolyn Burke is the author of No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf\, Lee Miller: A Life\, and Becoming Modern: The Life of Mina Loy. Born in Sydney\, Australia\, she now lives in Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Namwali Serpell in Conversation with Yael Goldstein Love discussing Serpell's new novel The Old Drift
DESCRIPTION:Namwali Serpell in Conversation with Yael Goldstein Love discussing Serpell’s new novel The Old Drift\, an electrifying debut that has already garnered three starred advance reviews and accolades from multiple writers.\n\n\n\n\n“Recalling the work of Toni Morrison and Gabriel García Márquez as a sometimes magical\, sometimes horrifically real portrait of a place\, Serpell’s novel goes into the future of the 2020s\, when the various plot threads come together in a startling conclusion. Intricately imagined\, brilliantly constructed\, and staggering in its scope\, this is an astonishing novel.”–Publishers Weekly \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the banks of the Zambezi River\, a few miles from the majestic Victoria Falls\, there was once a colonial settlement called The Old Drift. Here begins the epic story of a small African nation\, told by a mysterious swarm-like chorus that calls itself man’s greatest nemesis. The tale? A playful panorama of history\, fairytale\, romance and science fiction. The moral? To err is human. \nFrom a woman covered with hair and another plagued with endless tears\, to forbidden love affairs and fiery political ones\, to homegrown technological marvels like Afronauts\, microdrones and viral vaccines – this gripping\, unforgettable novel sweeps over the years and the globe\, subverting expectations along the way. Exploding with color and energy\, The Old Drift is a testament to our yearning to create and cross borders\, and a meditation on the slow\, grand passage of time. \nNamwali Serpell is a Zambian writer who teaches at the UC Berkeley. She received a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award for women writers in 2011 and was selected for the Africa 39\, a 2014 Hay Festival project to identify the best African writers under 40. She won the 2015 Caine Prize for African writing. \nYael Goldstein Love is co-fouder and Editorial Director of the digital literary studio Plympton. She is also the author of the novels Overture and The Passion of Tasha Darsky\, which are actually the same novel. She is currently completing her second novel\, set during the Haitian Revolution.

SUMMARY:Lori Gottlieb presents Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist\, Her Therapist\, and Our Lives Revealed\, currently being adapted for television with Eva Longoria and ABC.
DESCRIPTION:Lori Gottlieb presents Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist\, Her Therapist\, and Our Lives Revealed\, currently being adapted for television with Eva Longoria and ABC.\n\n\n\n\n“If you have even an ounce of interest in the therapeutic process\, or in the conundrum of being human\, you must read this book. It is wise\, warm\, smart and funny\, and Lori Gottlieb is exceedingly good company.”–Susan Cain \n“Gottlieb is an utterly compelling narrator: funny\, probing\, savvy\, vulnerable. She pays attention to the small stuff–the box of tissues and the Legos in the carpet–as she honors the more expansive mysteries of our wild\, aching hearts.”–Leslie Jamison \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by speaking to one of our booksellers or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne day\, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next\, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell\, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head\, cardigan\, and khakis\, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but. \nAs Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients’ lives- a self-absorbed Hollywood producer\, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness\, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better\, and a twenty-something who can’t stop hooking up with the wrong guys- she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell. \nWith startling wisdom and humor\, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient\, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire\, meaning and mortality\, guilt and redemption\, terror and courage\, hope and change. \nMaybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor\, offering a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human\, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.\n\n\nLori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist and the author of Marry Him and Stick Figure. A sought-after expert\, she has appeared on The Today Show\, Good Morning America\, The CBS Early Show\, MSNBC\, and CNN\, and writes The Atlantic’s advice column\, “Dear Therapist.”

SUMMARY:Timothy Hampton presents Bob Dylan's Poetics: How the Songs Work
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Hampton presents Bob Dylan’s Poetics: How the Songs Work\, a close examination of Bob Dylan’s songs that locates his transgressive style within a long history of modern (and modernist) art.\n\n\n\n\n“A truly powerful book written by one of the leading scholars of the history of poetry today. The writing is clear and intellectually most exciting: Dylan’s idiosyncratic genius is explained more compellingly than ever before. Hampton remains relevant\, exciting and persuasively accurate as he shows the genesis of the songs as musical and literary forms and assesses their originality….the study sets a gold standard.”–Nigel Smith\, Princeton University \nTo reserve your seat please purchase a copy of Bob Dylan’s Poetics by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature recognized Bob Dylan as a major modern artist\, elevating his work beyond the world of popular music. In this book\, Timothy Hampton focuses on the details and nuances of Dylan’s songs\, showing how they work as artistic statements designed to create meaning and elicit emotion. With Bob Dylan’s Poetics\, Hampton offers a unique examination of both the poetics and politics of Dylan’s compositions. He studies Dylan not as a pop hero\, but as an artist\, as a maker of songs. \nFocusing on the interplay of music and lyric\, Hampton traces Dylan’s innovative use of musical form\, his complex manipulation of poetic diction\, and his dialogues with other artists\, from Woody Guthrie to Arthur Rimbaud. Moving from Dylan’s earliest experiments with the blues through his mastery of rock and country to his densely allusive more recent recordings\, Hampton offers a detailed account of Dylan’s achievement. Locating Dylan in the long history of artistic modernism\, he examines the relationships among form\, genre\, and the political and social themes that crisscross Dylan’s work. With this book\, Hampton offers both a nuanced engagement with the work of a major artist and a meditation on the contribution of song at times of political and social change. \nTimothy Hampton teaches literature at UC Berkeley\, where he also directs the Townsend Center for the Humanities. He has written widely about literature and culture across several languages and is the author\, most recently\, of Fictions of Embassy: Literature and Diplomacy in Early Modern Europe.

Barrie’s timeless classic Peter Pan. \n“A magical ode to childhood that updates the classic while keeping its flavor.”–Kirkus Reviews  \n“One of the best representations of autism in middle grade literature.

SUMMARY:Louise Aranson presents Elderhood: Redefining Aging\, Transforming Medicine\, Reimagining Life\, an essential\, empathetic look at a vital but little respected stage of life.
DESCRIPTION:Louise Aranson presents Elderhood: Redefining Aging\, Transforming Medicine\, Reimagining Life\, an essential\, empathetic look at a vital but little respected stage of life.\n\n\n\n\n“In the latter years there are possibilities for joy\, transcendence\, and meaning\, but also for just the opposite. Aronson writes like a memoirist while giving us scientific insight\, philosophical wisdom\, and wise counsel for a journey and destination we all share. Elderhood is a lovely and thoughtful exploration of this voyage.”–Abraham Verghese \nTo reserve your seat please purchase a copy of Elderhood by speaking to a bookseller or ordering through our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor more than 5\,000 years\, “old” has been defined as beginning between the ages of 60 and 70. That means most people alive today will spend more years in elderhood than in childhood\, and many will be elders for 40 years or more. Yet at the very moment that humans are living longer than ever before\, we’ve made old age into a disease\, a condition to be dreaded\, denigrated\, neglected\, and denied. \nReminiscent of Oliver Sacks\, noted Harvard-trained geriatrician Louise Aronson uses stories from her quarter century of caring for patients\, and draws from history\, science\, literature\, popular culture\, and her own life to weave a vision of old age that’s neither nightmare nor utopian fantasy–a vision full of joy\, wonder\, frustration\, outrage\, and hope about aging\, medicine\, and humanity itself. \nElderhood is for anyone who is\, in the author’s own words\, “an aging\, i.e.\, still-breathing human being.” \nLouise Aronson\, MD\, is the author of the story collection A History of the Present Illness and a geriatrician\, educator\, and professor of medicine at UCSF\, where she directs UCSF Medical Humanities. A graduate of Harvard Medical School and the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College\, Dr. Aronson has received numerous awards for her medical work\, teaching\, educational research\, and writing. The recipient of a MacDowell fellowship and four Pushcart nominations\, her articles and stories have appeared in many publications\, including The New York Times\, New England Journal of Medicine\, Lancet\, and Bellevue Literary Review.
