The Weekend Agenda: Reading!
|
|
The wind over the past 36 hours in the New York area has me feeling like I could end up in Kansas at any moment passing Dorothy on her way to Oz. The weather has been warm, which has ensured that all the snow has melted. I am hoping it does not snow next week as my husband is traveling and I have no clue how to run the tractor/snow blower. If I have to deal with this, I am sure it would unfold like an "I Love Lucy" episode. The lawn would get plowed and I would hit a few trees. Yes, the boys will oblige if needed, but I am not sure that they will have more fun riding or clearing. I know, I know, I could read the manual, but I confess that while I love to read books, somehow reading instruction manuals is something that just evades me, so I never know what half the buttons on most of the electronics that I own actually do!
Speaking of electronic gadgets, the other day when the release date for the new Amazon Kindle was announced, I started thinking again about why I do not own one. I, who have a treasure trove of electronics history stored in boxes in my attic (everything from the cell phone that was housed in a suitcase to the Astraltunes that were a precursor of the Walkman), do not want a Kindle. Somehow for me, one more thing to charge --- and one more thing to keep track of --- is just not on the agenda. Books are portable enough for me. I can see the emails flying in now to convince me otherwise; I am bracing myself. Kindle lovers I know have a special glow about them when they speak of their devices. I know those swooning smiles, and you are not convincing me!
I know I really struck a chord with many of you last week with my note about reading before sleeping. I loved the feedback. I got back to many of you, but I know there are some that I missed! I spent Thursday through Saturday at New York Comic-Con, and my head was really swirling by the time I hit the couch Saturday night. Visions of Princess Leia costumes were dancing in my head. I really need ESP mail where I can telegraph my thoughts when I read emails with no time to reply with traditional means!
Our editorial team outdid themselves this week. We have FOUR interviews for you, as well as the usual stellar lineup of reviews. I still get such pleasure from reading what authors have to say about their work. And what a lineup this week --- Linda Fairstein on her latest thriller, LETHAL LEGACY, set in the New York Public Library; Kathryn Stockett on THE HELP, a debut that finds its way onto my “Bookreporter.com Bets On” list this week; T.C. Boyle, whose latest, THE WOMEN, looks at the women in Frank Lloyd Wright's life (after time spent at both Taliesin East and West, and reading LOVING FRANK, I cannot wait to read this); and Jayne Anne Phillips on LARK AND TERMITE, which is her first book in nine years!
I also want to highlight that William Lashner's new thriller, BLOOD AND BONE, is now in stores. It's his first stand-alone --- a wonderful departure for all his Victor Carl fans and one that I know will find him new readers. You can read Joe Hartlaub's review of it here.
We are launching new Suspense/Thriller features for two authors many of you will be familiar with. Our first is for Barry Eisler, whose new thriller, FAULT LINE, releases on March 10th. Barry, who received intensive training as a CIA agent, does a great job of weaving his experiences into the fast-paced thrillers he writes. His Rain series is a favorite with many of our readers; this is his first stand-alone thriller. We have 10 copies of FAULT LINE to give away to readers who would like to preview the book and comment about it. If you are interested, please fill out this form by Friday, February 20th.
Our second new featured author is Gregg Olsen, who received critical acclaim for his work as a journalist, true crime author and novelist. In his third novel, Sherriff Emily Kenyon, who we met in A COLD DARK PLACE, leads a desperate search for a serial killer targeting young women. We have 10 copies of HEART OF ICE to give away to readers who would like to preview the book and comment about it. If you are interested, please fill out this form by Friday, February 20th.
In our last newsletter I missed noting the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth yesterday (I am known for belated notes to friends as well!) As you may have noted, there are just a few books out to commemorate this. Many of you I am sure enjoyed MANHUNT by James L. Swanson, which chronicles the capture of Lincoln's killer. I wanted you to note that he has a new book out for young adults called CHASING LINCOLN'S KILLER. I saw a presentation on this at the library convention, and it made me want to cancel my dinner plans and curl up and read. Let's just say that if Swanson taught history when I was growing up, I would have paid a LOT more attention. Trivia Fact: Swanson and Lincoln share the same birthday, so belated Happy Birthday to Swanson. Check out the video about the book here.
For the record, I have decided that the news on television all seems to be the same story on rewind. And I am a tad bored with the continuous commentary that goes something like this: If you leave your house and buy anything, you are not smart and will end up on a breadline. I am here to share that buying one book this weekend is not going to crumble your economic future, so head to the store and indulge yourself with a book. Maybe even buy two. Then, if you feel a continued need to shop once you leave the bookstore, go see Confessions of a Shopaholic. I have not seen this movie yet, but I figure the scene where Becky has her credit card frozen in her freezer will be one that will make the news commentators froth with glee. And when you see all those designer names flashed across the screen, you can reminisce the consumerism that is part of the reason we are where we are now. Consider it a history lesson.
After a hectic last three weekends of travel and conventions, I have a plan for the weekend that includes lots of fires in the fireplace, reading and relaxing. The stack of books that I want to read is pretty high. I joke with the boys that if all the books I want to read fall on top of me, they could kill me, thus I HAVE to get through some of them this weekend, or it could be death by book! My obit will read, "The pages killed her" or "Killed by the stack." I know, too much time reading thrillers. Here's to delightful bookish adventures this holiday weekend and Happy Valentine's Day to all.

Bookreporter.com Talks to Linda Fairstein, Author of LETHAL LEGACY
|
|
Similar to previous installments in the bestselling Alex Cooper series, author Linda Fairstein sets her latest novel, LETHAL LEGACY, in another famous Manhattan landmark, this time giving her readers a behind-the-scenes peek inside the New York Public Library. In this interview with Bookreporter.com's Maggie Harding, Fairstein discusses what fascinated her about this cultural institution and describes some of the rarities she found amidst her research there. She also explains how she constructs her complex plots, muses on how her former career in the District Attorney's office gave her the discipline she needs as a writer, and reveals what notable locales will appear in the next book in the series.
LETHAL LEGACY by Linda Fairstein (Legal Thriller)
When Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cooper is summoned to Tina Barr’s apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, she finds a neighbor convinced that the young woman was assaulted. But the terrified victim, a conservator of rare books and maps, refuses to cooperate with investigators. Then another woman is found murdered in that same apartment with an extremely valuable book, believed to have been stolen. As Alex pursues the murderer, she is drawn into the strange and privileged world of the Hunt family, major benefactors of the New York Public Library and passionate rare book collectors.

Author Talk: Kathryn Stockett, Author of THE HELP
|
|
Kathryn Stockett's debut novel, THE HELP, examines a rarely covered subject: the complex relationship between white Southern families and their black domestic servants in the 1960s. In this interview, Stockett reminisces about her own childhood experiences with her family's maid and discusses her hesitation --- as a white woman from Mississippi --- to write from the perspectives of African-American women. She also describes the research she performed to get a feel for the atmosphere and attitudes of the time, shares what surprised her most from the people she interviewed, and reveals the real-life inspirations behind her main characters.
THE HELP by Kathryn Stockett (Fiction)
Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women --- mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends --- view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor and hope, THE HELP is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don’t. Reviewed by Eileen Zimmerman Nicol.

BLOOD AND BONE by William Lashner (Thriller)
When his father’s former law partner is brutally murdered, the cops see Kyle Byrne as a possible suspect and start asking uncomfortable questions about his father’s death.

Author Talk: T.C. Boyle, Author of THE WOMEN
|
T.C. Boyle, whose previous novels have centered on historical figures such as John Harvey Kellogg and Alfred C. Kinsey, tackles Frank Lloyd Wright in his latest work of fiction, THE WOMEN. In this interview, Boyle explains what attracted him to these strong personalities and points out the differences between Wright's creative process and his own. He also compares historical and contemporary fiction, shares his experiences living in a house designed by the famous architect himself, and discusses his current and future projects.
THE WOMEN by T.C. Boyle (Fiction)
With a bold, lively spirit of historical reinvention, T.C. Boyle stunningly brings to life renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright through the lens of his relationships with his indentured servant/apprentices and with the four women whose passionate, unconventional love affairs with Wright served as microcosms of his mercurial, impractical disposition and lifelong quest to do something extraordinary.

Author Talk: Jayne Anne Phillips, Author of LARK AND TERMITE
|
Jayne Anne Phillips, a writing professor and author of several award-winning novels and short story collections, recently published her latest work of fiction, LARK AND TERMITE (her first in nine years). In this interview, Phillips recalls a decades-old memory that planted the seeds for her protagonist and sheds light on the complexities of his character. She also shares her thoughts on the spiritual and emotional bonds among family members, discusses the real-life events during the Korean War that inspired the book's plot, and offers advice to aspiring novelists.
LARK AND TERMITE by Jayne Anne Phillips (Fiction)
Set in West Virginia and Korea in the 1950s, and told through the eyes of four distinctive narrators, Jayne Anne Phillips’s latest novel is a moving exploration of the powerful bonds that keep families together in the face of the forces that threaten to sunder them. Reviewed by Harvey Freedenberg.

Bookreporter.com Bets On...: Books We're Betting You'll Love
|
|
With thousands of books published each year and much attention paid to the works of bestselling and well-known authors, it is inevitable that some titles worthy of praise and discussion may not get the attention we think they deserve. Thus throughout 2009, we will be spotlighting books written by debut or up-and-coming authors that immediately struck a chord with us and made us say “just read this” in a new feature called "Bookreporter.com Bets On…" Our plan is to alert our readers about these titles as soon as they’re released so you can discover them for yourselves and recommend them to your family and friends.
Here is our latest featured title, with more to come in the weeks ahead:
THE HELP by Kathryn Stockett (February 10th): Set in 1963, THE HELP is the story of three women --- two African-American maids in the Deep South and a young white woman who sees a story in the world that they live in. You hear the voices, see the houses and truly feel like a voyeur in their world. I found myself reaching for my advance reading copy of the book between present opening, dinner preparations and other holiday festivities in December. Aibileen, Minny and Skeeter are strong characters, and the stories they tell speak volumes about the time. Stockett closes the book with a piece about her family's maid, which shows why she could write this novel with such insight and honesty. No matter what your political views about our new president, reading THE HELP and seeing the world 46 years ago when the right to vote was something that was fought over, and not taken for granted, is interesting.

THE BREAKTHROUGH: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama by Gwen Ifill (Current Affairs)
Everyone --- even his political enemies --- agrees that the election of Barack Obama to the presidency is a “historic” event. But what exactly does this mean? Has it really opened up new prospects for minorities in American politics? If so, who will be the beneficiaries? And how do African Americans themselves feel about the idea? TV journalist Gwen Ifill tackles these and other provocative questions in a book that could change your thinking about what “historic” really means. Reviewed by Robert Finn.
SPADE & ARCHER: The Prequel to Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese Falcon by Joe Gores (Mystery)
What was Sam Spade doing before he took on the case of THE MALTESE FALCON? Where did Effie Perine come from? How did Miles Archer hook up with Spade? The answers to these questions and more are woven into the thread of SPADE & ARCHER, a superb prequel from three-time Edgar Award winner Joe Gores. Reviewed by Kate Ayers.
MOUNTING FEARS by Stuart Woods (Thriller)
In MOUNTING FEARS, President Will Lee’s running mate just died during surgery, and confirmation hearings for the new vice president are underway.
