SUMMARY:Elizabeth Weiss
DESCRIPTION:All Harriet Szász has ever known is life onstage with her sister\, Josie. As “The Sisters Sweet\,” they pose as conjoined twins in a vaudeville act conceived of by their ambitious parents\, who were once themselves theatrical stars. But after Josie exposes the family’s fraud and runs away to Hollywood\, Harriet must learn to live out of the spotlight—and her sister’s shadow. As Josie’s star rises in California\, the Szászes fall on hard times. Striving to keep her struggling family afloat\, Harriet molds herself into the perfect daughter. She also tentatively forms her first relationships outside her family and begins to imagine a life for herself beyond the role of dutiful daughter that she has played for so long. Finally\, Harriet must decide whether to honor her mother\, her father\, or the self she’s only beginning to get to know. \nFull of long-simmering tensions\, buried secrets\, questionable saviors\, and broken promises\, this is a story about how much we are beholden to others and what we owe ourselves. Layered and intimate\, The Sisters Sweet heralds the arrival of an accomplished new voice in fiction.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth McCracken
DESCRIPTION:Ten months after her mother’s death\, the narrator of The Hero of This Book takes a trip to London. The city was a favorite of her mother’s\, and as the narrator wanders the streets\, she finds herself reflecting on her mother’s life and their relationship. Thoughts of the past meld with questions of the future: Back in New England\, the family home is now up for sale\, its considerable contents already winnowed. \nThe woman\, a writer\, recalls all that made her complicated mother extraordinary—her brilliant wit\, her generosity\, her unbelievable obstinacy\, her sheer will in seizing life despite physical difficulties—and finds herself wondering how her mother had endured. Even though she wants to respect her mother’s nearly pathological sense of privacy\, the woman must come to terms with whether making a chronicle of this remarkable life constitutes an act of love or betrayal. \nThe Hero of This Book  is a searing examination of grief and renewal\, and of a deeply felt relationship between a child and her parents. What begins as a question of filial devotion ultimately becomes a lesson in what it means to write. At once comic and heartbreaking\, with prose that delights at every turn\, this is a novel of such piercing love and tenderness that we are reminded that art is what remains when all else falls away.

SUMMARY:Don McLeese in conversation with Kyle Munson
DESCRIPTION:Slippery Steps isn’t your typical\, hell-and-back recovery memoir. I never intended to quit drinking\, rarely gave it a thought. I’d spent decades as a successful and productive journalist. I was a loving husband and father. My life worked and worked well. Until it didn’t. Freedom from drinking has enriched my life in ways I’d never imagined. I’d been numbing myself to sleep\, and sleepwalking my way through life. It’s never too late to wake up. This is a book about how the worst day of my life turned out to be one of the best. – Don McLeese \nThis event is live and in-person\, and will be streamed live at: https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel

SUMMARY:Jennifer L. Knox
DESCRIPTION:The poems in Jennifer Knox’s darkly imaginative collection\, Crushing It\, unearth epiphanies in an unbounded landscape of forms\, voices and subjects―from history to true crime to epidemiology―while exploring our tenuous connections and disconnections. From Merle Haggard lifting his head from a pile of cocaine to absurdist romps through an apocalypse where mushrooms learn to sing\, this versatile collection is brimming with dark humor and bright surprise. Alongside Knox’s distinctive surrealism\, Crushing It also reveals autobiography in poems about love\, family\, and adult ADHD\, and Knox’s empathetic depictions of the ego’s need to assert its precious\, singular “I” suggest that a self distinct from the hive\, the herd\, the flock\, is an illusion. With clear-eyed spirit\, Crushing It swallows all the world\, and then some.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Crane
DESCRIPTION:One minute Elizabeth Crane and her husband of fifteen years are fixing up their old house in Upstate New York\, finally setting down roots after stints in Chicago\, Texas\, and Brooklyn\, when his unexpected admission—I’m not happy—changes everything. Suddenly she finds herself separated and in couples therapy\, living in an apartment in the city with an old friend and his kid. It’s understood that the apartment and bonus family are temporary\, but the situation brings unexpected comfort and much-needed healing for wounds even older than her marriage. \nCrafting the story as the very events chronicled are unfolding\, Crane writes from a place of guarded possibility\, capturing through vignettes and collected moments a semblance of the real-time practice of healing. At turns funny and dark\, with moments of poignancy\, This Story Will Change is an unexpected and moving portrait of a woman in transformation\, a chronicle of how even the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves are bound to change. \nThis event is live and in-person\, and will be streamed live at: https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel

SUMMARY:John Koethe
DESCRIPTION:A rich\, meditative new collection of poetry from John Koethe\, the “necessary and great poet” (Hyperallergic). \n“It’s presumptuous\, but if you’re reading this you\nProbably know my usual obsessions and preoccupations:\nThe “world”—both the word and what it stands for—and time\,\nWhich is or isn’t real\, depending on my mood. I’ve always\nHated poems about philosophy\, and I hope I still do\,\nBut since I don’t know what that means anymore\, here I am\,\nMusing on my ends and my beginnings one more time . . .” \nIn Beyond Belief\, John Koethe poses eternal and essential questions about the rhythms of time\, language and literature\, and “the space between attention and belief.” The eleventh book of poetry from America’s philosopher-poet is an intimate\, searching collection that gives life to the mundane and lends words to our most interior and abstract musings. What makes a life real? Words on a page\, the accumulation of moments and memories\, or nothing at all? And what is it worth? Locked inside\, have we lost our future and its promises or are we merely pressed to inhabit our present and ourselves? \nThe award-winning poet invites us into his consideration of our world\, as “an ordinary person sitting on his balcony on a summer afternoon\, / Waiting patiently for someone to explain it to and meanwhile / Living quietly in his imagination\, imagining the afterlife.”

SUMMARY:Sarah Kendzior
DESCRIPTION:In They Knew\, New York Times bestselling author Sarah Kendzior explores the United States’ “culture of conspiracy\,” putting forth a timely and unflinching argument: uncritical faith in broken institutions is as dangerous as false narratives peddled by propagandists. Conspiracy theories are on the rise because officials refuse to enforce accountability for real conspiracies. \nThey Knew discusses conspiracy culture in a rapidly declining United States struggling with corruption\, climate change\, and other crises. As the actions of the powerful remain shrouded in mystery—like the Jeffrey Epstein operation—it is unsurprising that people turn to conspiracy theories to fill the informational void. They Knew exposes the tactics these powerful actors use to placate an inquisitive public. \nIn Kendzior’s signature whip smart prose and eviscerating arguments\, They Knew unearths decades of buried American history\, providing an essential and critical look at how to rebuild our democracy by confronting the political lies and crimes that have shaped us. \nThis event is live and in-person\, and will be streamed live at: https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel

SUMMARY:Victor Ray
DESCRIPTION:From renowned scholar Dr. Victor Ray\, On Critical Race Theory explains the centrality of race in American history and politics\, and how the often mischaracterized intellectual movement became a political necessity. \nRay draws upon the radical thinking of giants such as Ida B. Wells\, W.E.B. Du Bois\, and Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, to clearly trace the foundations of critical race theory in the Black intellectual traditions of emancipation and the civil rights movement. From these foundations\, Ray explores the many facets of our society that critical race theory interrogates\, from deeply embedded structural racism to the historical connection between whiteness and property\, ownership\, and more. \nIn succinct\, thoughtful essays\, Ray presents\, analyzes\, and breaks down the scholarship and concepts that constitute this often misconstrued term. He explores how the conversation on critical race theory has expanded into the contemporary popular conscience\, showing why critical race theory matters and why we should all care. \nThis event is live and in-person\, and will be streamed live at: https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel

SUMMARY:BETH A. LIVINGSTON
DESCRIPTION:Despite efforts that have been made in the last few decades\, gender and racioethnic equity still hasn’t been achieved. What’s worse\, Black\, Indigenous\, Asian\, and Latina women are being held back more than their White counterparts. According to authors Beth A. Livingston and Tina Opie\, we need to change how we strive for equity. We must move beyond individual solutions toward collective action\, where people from historically power-dominant and marginalized groups work together\, so that all women experience the benefits of professional growth and equity.  Professor Tina Opie first started Shared Sisterhood as a movement to drive gender and racial equity in organizations. Since then\, she and professor Beth A. Livingston have worked together to spread the word to leaders across organizations\, with thousands of followers joining the cause. In this book\, they explain how to use vulnerability\, trust\, empathy\, and risk-taking to build Shared Sisterhood and break down three key parts of the process: (1) Dig into your own assumptions around racioethnicity\, gender\, and power\, (2) Bridge the divide between women of all backgrounds through authentic relationships\, and (3) Advance all women across the organization and beyond. Balancing a mix of history\, research\, and real-life examples–including the authors’ own experiences–this book encourages everyone to join Shared Sisterhood and advance equity for all. \nPublisher’s Weekly writes\, “The authors’ message will leave readers hopeful: ‘Don’t agonize\, organize\,’ they write\, quoting ‘the rallying cry of the feminist movement.’ Readers aiming to create equality at work will find great takeaways here.” \nThis event is live and in-person\, and will be streamed live at: https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel

SUMMARY:Co-Crafting the Just City: A panel with Jim Throgmorton
DESCRIPTION:In this session a moderated panel of readers will discuss former Iowa City mayor Jim Throgmorton’s new book\, Co-crafting the Just City. In it\, Throgmorton narrates a story about how\, using democratic processes of governance\, the residents and elected leaders of the city tried from 2012 through 2019 to co-craft their city’s future while being immersed in a complex and often contentious flow of action. It also documents what happened when he and allies on the council tried during his terms as mayor of Iowa City from 2016 through 2019 to lead their city toward becoming a more inclusive\, just\, and sustainable place; that is\, a more “just city.” The book is not fiction. Nor is it a case study driven by social scientific theories and hypotheses. Rather it is a truthful story narrated by a key participant in the unfolding of events. Throgmorton invites readers to imagine that they are witnessing the unfolding from a ringside seat\, being party to what he was doing\, thinking\, and feeling as he participated in the action\, and he invites readers to imagine they are engaged in dialogue with him as the action proceeds. \nFeaturing James A. Throgmorton\, Mary Mascher\, Zachary Oren-Smith\, Ruthina Malone\, and David McMahon. \nThis event is live and in-person\, and will be streamed live at: https://www.youtube.com/thelibrarychannel

SUMMARY:Randall Munroe
DESCRIPTION:THE IOWA CITY BOOK FESTIVAL AND PRAIRIE LIGHTS BOOKS PRESENTS RANDALL MUNROE \nThis is a bundled ticketed event\, price includes General Admission for one\, and a hardcover copy of What If? 2\, to be picked up at the venue during check-in. Link to purchase tickets is HERE. \nThe #1 New York Times–bestselling author of What If? and How To provides his best answers yet to the weirdest questions you never thought to ask. \nThe millions of people around the world who read and loved What If? still have questions\, and those questions are getting stranger. Thank goodness xkcd creator Randall Munroe is here to help. Planning to ride a fire pole from the moon back to Earth? The hardest part is sticking the landing. Hoping to cool the atmosphere by opening everyone’s freezer door at the same time? Maybe it’s time for a brief introduction to thermodynamics. Want to know what would happen if you rode a helicopter blade\, built a billion-story building\, made a lava lamp out of lava\, or jumped on a geyser as it erupted? Okay\, if you insist. \nBefore you go on a cosmic road trip\, feed the residents of New York City to a T. rex\, or fill every church with bananas\, be sure to consult this practical guide for impractical ideas. Unfazed by absurdity\, Randall consults the latest research on everything from swing-set physics to airplane-catapult design to clearly and concisely answer his readers’ questions. As he consistently demonstrates\, you can learn a lot from examining how the world might work in very specific extreme circumstances. \nRandall Munroe is the author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers What If? and Thing Explainer\, the science question-and-answer blog What If\, and the popular webcomic xkcd. A former NASA roboticist\, he left the agency in 2006 to draw comics on the internet full-time. He lives in Massachusetts. \nThe author will talk about What If?2\, take audience questions\, meet fans\, and sign copies of the book.  Masks are required at this event. \n

SUMMARY:The Paul Engle Award Ceremony Featuring Rebecca Solnit in Conversation with Lyz Lenz
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Solnit has been named the eleventh recipient of the Paul Engle Prize\, presented by the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature organization. \nSolnit is a writer\, historian\, and activist who has written more than twenty books on feminism\, environmental and urban history\, popular power\, social change and insurrection\, wandering and walking\, hope and disaster\, including Whose Story Is This?\, Call Them By Their True Names (Winner of the 2018 Kirkus Prize for Nonfiction)\, Men Explain Things to Me\, The Mother of All Questions\, and the recent memoir\, Recollections of My Nonexistence. \nShe has received a Guggenheim\, the National Book Critics Circle Award in criticism\, and the Lannan Literary Award. A product of the California public education system from kindergarten to graduate school\, she is a columnist at the Guardian and a former “Easy Chair” columnist at Harper’s.Speaking about the award\, Solnit said she was honored to be recognized. \n“Finding out\, while still on the first cup of tea\, that you’ve won a prize\, and it’s named after a poet\, editor\, and teacher passionately devoted to internationalism and the literary community\, is a very good way to start the day\,” she said. “To receive a prize that has gone to writers I admire so much—Alexander Chee\, Roxane Gay among them—deepens my sense of the honor of being invited into the community of writers\, past and present\, and it encourages me to keep trying to do the kind of engaged work this prize recognizes.” \nThe prize includes a $20\,000 award and a one-of-a-kind work of art. \nSolnit will receive the award and appear in conversation with Lyz Lenz\, Thursday\, September 29 at 7 p.m. at the Coralville Public Library. \n \n \nThe annual Paul Engle Prize from the Iowa City UNESCO City of Literature honors an individual who\, like Paul Engle\, represents a pioneering spirit in the world of literature through writing\, editing\, publishing\, or teaching\, and whose active participation in the larger issues of the day has contributed to the betterment of the world through the literary arts. The Paul Engle Prize is made possible through the generous support of the City of Coralville\, which is home to 11 permanent sculptures with artistic and literary ties to Iowa. The sculptures all have ties to work found in The Iowa Writers’ Library\, housed in the Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center\, which features about 800 books written by former students\, graduates and faculty of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. \nPaul Engle (October 12\, 1908 – March 22\, 1991)\, though best remembered as the long-time director of the University of Iowa Writers’ Workshop and founder of the UI’s International Writing Program\, also was a well-regarded poet\, playwright\, essayist\, editor and critic. \nThis prize does not recognize one work\, nor is it solely limited to reflecting literary achievement. Rather\, the award seeks to recognize a writer\, like Engle\, who makes an impact on his or her community and the world at large through efforts beyond the page. It also seeks to raise awareness about Engle and his works. \nPast recipients: James Alan McPherson\, longtime instructor at the University of Iowa Writer’s Workshop and Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Elbow Room; Kwame Dawes\, Chancellor Professor of English at the University of Nebraska\, and Editor of Prairie Schooner; Luis Alberto Urrea\, author of The Devil’s Highway and Queen of America\,  Sara Paretsky the author behind the bestselling Chicago-based V.I. Warshawski mystery series\, Roxane Gay\, professor\, editor\, commentator and author of the short story collection Ayiti\, the novel An Untamed State\, and the essay collection Bad Feminist\, and novelist\, activist\, essayist\, and professor Alexander Chee; novelist and essayist Dina Nayeri; poets and co-founders of Cave Canem Toi Derriocotte and Cornelius Eady; and poet and essayist Dr. Eve L. Ewing.

SUMMARY:The Iowa City Book Festival and Prairie Lights Books Presents: An Evening with Anthony Doerr
DESCRIPTION:Anthony Doerr will present a lecture with some fun slides and take audience questions about his new book\, Cloud Cuckoo Land. \nEach ticketholder will receive a paperback copy of Cloud Cuckoo Land at the event. \nMasks are required. Purchase Tickets. \nPulitzer Prize–winning author Anthony Doerr follows All the Light We Cannot See with Cloud Cuckoo Land—a triumph of imagination and compassion called a “wildly inventive\, humane and uplifting book for adults that’s infused with the magic of childhood reading experiences.” \nThirteen-year-old Anna\, an orphan\, lives inside the walls of Constantinople. Insatiably curious\, she learns to read\, and finds the book of Aethon\, who longs to turn into a bird and fly to paradise. As she reads\, the walls are bombarded. Outside the walls is Omeir\, a village boy\, conscripted into the invading army. Five hundred years later\, in a library in Idaho\, octogenarian Zeno rehearses children in a play of Aethon’s story\, remarkably preserved. On the shelves is a bomb\, planted by troubled\, idealistic Seymour. In a not-so-distant future\, alone on the interstellar ship Argos\, Konstance copies the story of Aethon\, told to her by her father. Five dreamers and outsiders\, intertwined as they seek\, and find\, resourcefulness and hope. \nAnthony Doerr is the author of Cloud Cuckoo Land\, which was a finalist for the National Book Award\, and All the Light We Cannot See\, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Carnegie Medal. He is also the author of the story collections Memory Wall and The Shell Collector\, the novel About Grace\, and the memoir Four Seasons in Rome. He has won five O. Henry Prizes\, the Rome Prize\, the New York Public Library’s Young Lions Award\, the National Magazine Award for fiction\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, and the Story Prize.
