03.12: Meet Me in Atlantis: My Obsessive Quest to Find the Sunken City
2015-02-14 01:01:37| Powells Books Events Calendar
A few years ago, Mark Adams, author of Turn Right at Machu Picchu, made a strange discovery: everything we know about the lost city of Atlantis comes from the work of one man, the Greek philosopher Plato. Then he made a second, stranger discovery: amateur explorers are still actively searching for this sunken city, based entirely on the clues Plato left behind. Meet Me in Atlantis (Dutton) is Adams's enthralling account of his quest to solve one of history's greatest mysteries; a travelogue that takes readers to fascinating locations to meet irresistible characters; and a deep, often humorous look at the human longing to rediscover a lost world.
03.12: Elisa Albert in Conversation with Robin Romm
2015-02-14 01:01:37| Powells Books Events Calendar
After Birth (Houghton Mifflin) is the fierce new novel from Elisa Albert, in which childbirth and new motherhood are as high stakes a proving ground as any combat zone. With piercing insight, purifying anger, and outrageous humor, Albert issues a wake-up call to a culture that turns its new mothers into exiles and expects them to act like natives. Like Lionel Shriver's We Need to Talk about Kevin and Anne Enright's The Gathering, Albert's After Birth is a daring and resonant novel from one of our most visceral writers. Albert will be joined in conversation by Robin Romm, author of The Mercy Papers.
