09.24: David Baker in Conversation with Scott Wright
2015-08-24 01:03:52| Powells Books Events Calendar
David Baker's Vintage (Touchstone) is a humorous, evocative debut novel about a food journalist's desperate attempt to save his career — and possibly his marriage — by tracking an extremely valuable bottle of wine stolen by the Nazis over half a century ago. From the rolling hills of Burgundy to a raucous wedding in Moldova, from a Beaune bacchanal to the graying walls of a Russian prison, Vintage is a story about redemption, sacrifices, and making one last effort to follow your dreams. Baker will be joined in conversation by winemaker, importer, and wine educator Scott Wright.

2015-08-24 01:03:52| Powells Books Events Calendar
Credited with the current revival of the literary memoir, Mary Karr knows a thing or two about the form. She spent over a year atop bestseller lists with The Liars' Club, Cherry, and Lit, and she teaches a highly selective seminar at Syracuse University in New York, where she has mentored future bestselling memoirists such as Cheryl Strayed and Koren Zailckas. The Art of Memoir (Harper) offers a master class in the essential elements of great memoir — delivered with Karr's signature wit, insight, and candor. Karr will be joined in conversation by Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild.

2015-08-13 20:06:34| Powells Books Events Calendar
From Jo Walton, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Among Others, comes The Philosopher Kings (Tor). Twenty years have elapsed since the events of The Just City. The City, founded by the time-traveling goddess Pallas Athene, organized on the principles espoused in Plato's Republic and populated by people from all eras of human history, has now split into five cities, and low-level armed conflict between them is not unheard of. What Apollo, his daughter, and their expedition to the mysterious Eastern Mediterranean of pre-antiquity discover will change everything. Walton will be joined in conversation by Ada Palmer, author of the forthcoming novel, Dogs of Peace.
