2015-03-18 19:04:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
Desmia discovers the reality of royalty is far from a fairy tale in Margaret Peterson Haddix's Palace of Lies (Simon & Schuster), the third adventure set in the Cinderella-esque world of Just Ella and Palace of Mirrors. Desmia and her 12 sister-princesses are ruling Suala together at last, a united front. The kingdom seems to have finally gotten its happily ever after, but Desmia, trained by a lifetime of palace intrigue, is not so sure. She desperately wants to believe all is well, but she can't help seeing danger around every corner. And then the unthinkable happens, and Desmia's worst fears are confirmed.

2015-03-18 19:04:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
A profound, startling, and beautifully crafted debut novel, Viet Thanh Nguyen's The Sympathizer (Grove Press) is the story of a man of two minds, someone whose political beliefs clash with his individual loyalties. A gripping spy novel, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story, The Sympathizer explores a life between two worlds and examines the legacy of the Vietnam War in literature, film, and the wars we fight today.
04.20: Peter Coyote
2015-03-18 19:04:47| Powells Books Events Calendar
The guiding metaphor in Peter Coyote's new spiritual biography is drawn from a line in an early Bob Dylan song. For Coyote, the twin forces Dylan identifies as "Texas medicine" and "railroad gin" represent the competing forces of the transcendental, inclusive, and ecstatic world of love with the competitive, status-seeking world of wealth and power. The Rainman's Third Cure (Counterpoint) is the tale of a young man caught between these apparently antipodal options and the journey that leads him from the privileged halls of power to Greenwich Village jazz bars, to jail, to the White House, to government service and international success on stage and screen.
