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.

In the tradition of Russell Banks and Jim Harrison, Skip Horack's The Other Joseph (Ecco) masterfully depicts a life driven off the rails by tragedy and sin. Horack's new novel is a spellbinding, explosive tale of a man nearly defeated by life given one last chance at redemption — one last shot to find meaning and alter the course of his heartbreaking, solitary existence. Horack will be joined in conversation by Adam Johnson, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Orphan Master's Son.

03.03: Kim Gordon in Conversation with Jon Raymond
2015-02-13 23:03:46| Powells Books Events Calendar
For many, Kim Gordon — vocalist, bassist, and founding member of Sonic Youth — has always been the epitome of cool. Sonic Youth is one of the most influential bands to emerge from the post-punk New York scene, and their legacy continues to loom large over the landscape of indie rock and American pop culture. In Girl in a Band (Dey Street), the famously reserved superstar speaks candidly about her past and the future. Exploring the artists, musicians, and writers who influenced Gordon and the relationship that defined her life for so long, Girl in a Band is filled with the sights and sounds of a pre-Internet world and is a deeply personal portrait of a woman who has become an icon. Gordon will be joined in conversation by Jon Raymond, author of The Half-Life and Rain Dragon.
