09.27: First Wilderness: My Quest in the Territory of Alaska
2014-08-18 22:38:51| Powells Books Events Calendar
First published in 1973, Sam Keith's One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey was based on the journals and photography of his dear friend, Dick Proenneke. In 2003, portions of the book were used in Alone in the Wilderness, a documentary which aired on public television stations. In 2013, Keith's daughter, Laurel Lies, discovered amidst her father's possessions a manuscript, originally written in 1974. First Wilderness (Alaska Northwest Books) includes Keith's journals, letters, and notebooks, woven into the manuscript to create a compelling, poignant memoir that offers descriptions of pre-statehood Alaska and its wildlife. Lies will be joined in conversation by editor Tricia Brown.

09.27: Lyndsay Faye
2013-08-13 23:35:40| Powells Books Events Calendar
From Edgar-nominated author Lyndsay Faye comes Seven for a Secret (Amy Einhorn Books), the next book in what Gillian Flynn calls "a brilliant new mystery series." Six months after the formation of the NYPD, its most reluctant and talented officer, Timothy Wilde, thinks himself well versed in his city's dark practices — until he learns of the gruesome underworld of lies and corruption ruled by the "blackbirders," who snatch free Northerners of color from their homes, masquerade them as slaves, and sell them south to toil as plantation property.
