The Whole Damn Thing
Macmillan John Sargent with ABAs

outgoing president Becky Anderson
vented others from coming

into the market. The
senior guys, Eric Holder,
are just incompetent, he
added, to resounding
applause. As to the lasting
effect of the DoJ case,
Sargent said, Theres no
way to tell. I have a lot of

hope. There are a lot of
good signs about the movement to digital. Hes been
heartened that even with
the increase in the number
of screens, the growth of
e-books is flat. What is dangerous for us is cataclysmic
change. You guys are
superb at adapting. You
need time to adjust. If it
stays flat or declines slowly,
were in good shape.
Despite some goading,
Sargent didnt say anything
negative about Amazon. To
Andersons question,
Where do you think the
industry went wrong to let
one retailer become dominant? he replied, I dont
think we let anybody
become dominant. The

In an opening session
intended to be provocative,
Macmillan CEO John
Sargent and outgoing
American Booksellers
Association president
Becky Anderson, co-owner
of Andersons Bookshops in
Naperville, Ill., may not
have necessarily covered
Publishing, Bookselling,
and the Whole Damn Thing,
but they definitely got the
conversation going, which
was Sargents goal.
We need to talk. We need
to have a relationship where
we can talk with our partners
so we can understand, he
told booksellers during an
hourlong q&a, Talking, he
said, and overcoming the
victim effect, where
everybody in the industry
is afraid of the Department
of Justice or legal things,
was part of the reason he
chose to do his first public
interview with Anderson,
even though he said that his
natural inclination is to be
in the background. Earlier,
when Sargent did speak up
at the fall regional conferences for the New England
and New Atlantic
Independent Booksellers
Associations, it was largely
off-the-record. But, he
noted on Wednesday morning, there are a lot of
things, were allowed to discuss. And in fact very few
questions elicited a no. To
a query on what Macmillan
will do when the DoJ agreement expires in December
2014, he said, I cant comment on new business models going forward. He also
declined to name his favorite bookstores.
What Sargent did say
about the DoJ suit is that
Justice is extraordinarily
myopic. They carried the
water for Amazon, when it
had 92% of the market.
And, he said, they pre-

build a client list
of between 30 to 40
publishers over
the next two to
three years, Suchomel told
Show Daily just before leaving for BookExpo America,
where he is at the Perseus
booth (1226). Ive always
admired PGW for the passion, commitment, and professionalism of its people,
Suchomel says. And its
obvious publishers like them,
since when they become clients they never leave.
LPG will use PGWs infrastructure and sales terms as
well as its trade sales reps;
LPG will use Perseus
Distribution Group reps to
call on the gift market, and
Suchomel will hire a
Chicago-based rep to call
on major accounts. Suchomel
says he is interested in
attracting publishers that
have a good sales pace and
are interested in increasing
that pace. He wants to limit
the number of LPG clients in
order to provide the necessary attention to help publishers grow, and expressed
his willingness to work with
clients on a title by title
basis. LPG will also consider international houses.
Were very much looking

guys at Amazon are really bright.

What he objects to is the concentration of power, which he termed
dangerous. If the American consumer ends up wanting to buy all
their books from one retailer,
theyre going to do that. On the
other hand, he said, Were trying to
make sure we dont facilitate that.
How do we get some cojones,
some balls, here? asked Anderson.
The thing you can do, said Sargent,
is keep doing what you have done:
adjust, have deeper and deeper
roots in the community. Being active,
you have tremendous power. He
also told booksellers that they continue to have an outsized importance to their market share, even as
it has shrunk.
As to what Macmillan might be
up to, Sargent said, What people
want is book-length works that
tell a good story. So I dont feel a
need to put in film studios in the
office, to invest tremendously in
the enhanced e-book. Nor does
he have any plans to deliver data
to glasses. And he affirmed his
personal preference for print.
Call me old-fashioned. I prefer a
book, he said, to much applause.
Fantastic, he responded to a
question about the Google Book
Settlement. The first lawsuit, they
threw out. The DoJ wasnt very
useful on that either, he said to
laughter. On self-publishing, he
said, I have a lot of respect for the
self-publishing business.... Most
authors who are self-published,
when we call them, are pretty
happy. They dont say, go fish. For
publishers, the key value is the
ability to recognize talent [and] find
a way to generate word-of-mouth.
While some said immediately
afterward that they were still
digesting his message, others felt
inspired, and a few even gave
Sargent and Anderson a standing
ovation.

IDPF 2013 Looks at the Future

While there was much anticipation
over Goodreads founder Otis
Chandlers post-Amazon-acquisition update at this years IDPF 2013
Digital Book Conference at BEA, it
was Writers Digest publisher Phil
Sexton who might have stolen the
day, with the results of a survey of
author reactions to self-publishing
vs. traditional publishing. The
Writers Digest survey found hybrid
authorswriters who have published both waysrepeatedly
embracing self-publishing over traditional houses, most often citing
better pay and greater creative
control when self-publishing.
In many ways, both Sextons and
Chandlers presentationsand to
some extent the earlier onstage
conversation between
HarperCollinss chief digital officer,
Chantal Restivo-Alessi, and paidContents Laura Hazard Owen
were focused on the relationship
between authors, readers, and
data. Indeed, IDPF 2013 reinforced
again how the steady growth of digital networks and digital publishing
has created a window into consumer behaviornot to mention
creating more direct access to consumers for authors and publishers
alikeand how it is changing the
industry.
As usual, IDPF kicked off with a
bit of theoretical musing about the
nature of the book and the evolution of the form, from the physical
book to the post-book, according
to Corey Pressman, of Exprima
Media, as we move to a new kind of
reading. Richard Nash, content and
community v-p of Small Demons,
gave a short presentation on the
use, metaphorical and actual, of the
algorithm in the financial as well as
digital publishing industry and the
problems around trying to write
programs that will tell us what we
want to read or watch in a universe of millions of books and billions of transactions. The challenge these daysits also something of a useful business model for
Small Demons, which essentially
indexes all the content of a bookis
to locate the DNA of a book. We
need to look to what we read for the
data and processing power that will
drive more reading, Nash said,
ending his presentation with the
observation that a novel is a program that runs inside the reader.
Chantal Restivo-Alessi offered
straightforward answers to
straightforward questions. RestivoAlessi, who came from the music
and finance industry, said that
while there are many similarities
between the music and book business, the book industry has avoided
the fate of the music business.
Books have avoided the worst of
piracy by making digital editions
available fairly quickly at reasonable prices. Books have the advantage of creating new digital products, she said, and there are lots
of opportunities. Its also a print
and e-publishing world.
Consumers like both worlds so we
ting started and major retailers are

just setting up storefronts. Theres
much more to do for e-books globally.

Goodreads founder Otis Chandler
need to cross-sell, use bundles,

she said, emphasizing that publishers need to do a better job of
finding out what consumers want.
Restivo-Alessi pointed to
Harpers digital-first imprints and
said, They are doing well in the
U.S. and the U.K. You can test the
market with digital before going to
printyou can take risks. She also
cited new business models and
partnerships that are very similar
to self-publishing models. We
curate the content the same way,
but we have different expectations
about the numbers and financials.
And she was bullish on e-books:
International markets are just get-
Otis Chandler said that Goodreads

now has 18 million members (45%
from outside the U.S.), double the
size of the site when he appeared at
IDPF last year. He gave a litany of
impressive statistics: 570 million
books shelved, 11 million books
shelved by users, and 24 million
reviews. Gillian Flynns Gone Girl
was the most reviewed book on the
site (47,000 reviews). He said that
social and sharing remain the
most important assets for
Goodreads and will change the
business over the next five years.
And for those worried about
Goodreads after the Amazon
acquisition, he was reassuring: We
arent changing. Were not just set
up for the Kindle. Goodreads is for
all platforms, physical and digital,
and for connecting to people.
But back to Phil Sextons survey
of hybrid writers. Hybrid authors
are more aggressive and successful, Sexton said, quoting from the
survey results, and they are more
sophisticated and strategic about
publishing. Not surprisingly,

Where the Stores Are

California and Texas may have been
the states with the most bookstores
in the country in 2012, but the state
with the best per capita ratio of bookstores was Montana. That was one
of the findings of PWs look at bookselling health around the country.
PW collected figures on the number
of bookstores in all 50 states and the
District of Columbia, a total that
includes every arm of bookselling:
chain stores, big box stores, independents, and the Association for
Christian Retails CBA stores.
In addition to putting Montana on
top of the bookselling heap, the survey found Wyoming and Vermont as
the two other states with the highest
number of bookstores per capita (or
the most bookstores based on population). In 2007, the last time PW
surveyed bookselling by state, the
three states were numbers three,
one, and two, indicating long-term
bookselling stability. Despite all
having a low number of chain bookstores (Barnes & Noble and Booksa-Million), the three rank at the top
because of relatively low populations
and relatively high independent
bookstore numbers. Perhaps most
impressive is Vermont: of its 38
bookstores, only one is a big box
retailer (Costco) and one is a chain;
the rest are indies.
A more in-depth breakdown of
the number of big box stores vs. traditional bookstores shows that six
states have more big box stores
than traditional bookstores: Arizona,
Maryland, Nevada, North Dakota,
Utah, and Wisconsin. None of the
states ranked above #32 have more
big box outlets than trade bookstores, indicating a strong traditional bookselling presence is necessary for overall per capita health.
The inverse situationmore traditional bookstores than big box
storesoccurred far more often,
and in 10 states the ratio of traditional bookstores to big box stores
was 2:1 or greater: Alaska,
Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii,
Massachusetts, New York, Oregon,
Rhode Island, Vermont, and

Washington, D.C. Vermont, as mentioned, had the greatest ratio, with
37:1, but Washington, D.C., wasnt
far behind, with a ratio of 33:1. Unlike
states with a high big box store ratio,
states with a high ratio of traditional
booksellers placed in a wide range
of spots on the ranking: Vermont,
Alaska, and D.C. were in the top 15,
but Connecticut, Hawaii, New York,
and Rhode Island were at the very
bottom. The takeaway: a high number of traditional bookstores alone
isnt enough to ensure per capita
healthit must be supplemented
by big box stores.
In general, states with a relatively
low population ranked high while
states with a large population
didnt fare as well. Of the seven
states with populations under one
million (Alaska; Delaware; North
Dakota; South Dakota; Vermont;
Washington, D.C.; Wyoming), five
were in the top 25 per capita ranking. Conversely, Texas and
California ranked #35 and #46,
respectively, despite being the only
two states with more than 1,000
stores each. The states with the
lowest total number of bookstores,
North Dakota and Rhode Island,
each had 27, but were ranked #34
and #50, respectively, because of
North Dakotas considerably lower
population.
Other than population number,
one of the main difference-makers
in ranking was CBA presence:
across the board, states largely saw
comparable big box, chain, and
independent numbers relative to
size (Arizona and Washington, only
half a million apart in population,
and, as a result, ranked #39 and #41,
respectively), but states that had a
high CBA number tended to fare
better. A number of states were bolstered by CBA stores, including
Alabama (126 CBA stores),
Tennessee (166), Colorado (111),
and Missouri (133). All were in the
top 10, despite being the only states
with populations greater than
IngramSpark Sparks
In an effort to streamline its printon-demand offerings for small publishers, Ingram is launching
IngramSpark, a program that will
offer an inexpensive and easy-touse platform for small publisher clients to distribute print and digital
titles. IngramSpark, which is being
announced at BEA and set to launch
in July, is aimed at making the distributors current systems easier to
use.
Mark Ouimet, v-p and general
manager at Ingram, says the company wanted to make it easy for
publishers to create an account and
start uploading their content in just
a few minutes.
Elaborating on IngramSpark,
Ouimet said that this platform should
allow small publishers a one stop
shop for getting digital distribution and print-on-demand for their

titles. While Ouimet would not discuss the pricing structurehe said
that information is something the
company is not ready to roll out
publiclyhe noted that there
would be a modest and competitive setup fee. (Ouimet added that
there would be a set discount off of
retail, and publishers would have
guaranteed compensation for any
sales that happen through the program.) He noted that the program
is geared to small publishers, not
individual authors.
Ingram will be doing demos of
IngramSpark at its booth (1056) and,
with plans for the services to go live
on July 1, a full rollout is expected
by mid-August.
Jim Milliot
three million each.

On the other hand, states with
comparable populations but relatively low CBA presence fared poorly
in the ranking: Massachusetts (67),
Wisconsin (61), and Maryland (73)
have comparable populations to
Alabama and Tennessee, but many

fewer CBA stores, and thus ranked
much lower. The CBA effect was
substantial enough to affect an
entire region: the northeast, which
had the lowest concentration of
CBA stores, placed most of its
states at the bottom of the ranking,
including five states in the bottom
seven.

while traditionally published
authors report $27,758 and the

Hybrid authors expect to get higher

Execs Debate E-books Impact

Perhaps it was only to be expected,
given the growing importance of
e-books to many publishers bottom
lines and the ongoing DoJ case on
e-book pricing, that yesterday afternoons keynote on Shaping the
Future of the BookInsight from
Leaders Who Are Transforming
How We Read, moderated by John
R. Ingram, CEO and chairman of
Ingram Content, drifted into a discussion of digital books. Thats
despite how little e-books contribute to the bottom line of many independent bookstores. As panelist
Steve Bercu, incoming ABA president and co-owner of BookPeople in
Austin, Tex., pointed out, at his store,
which last year had its third consecutive record-breaking year, e-books
make up 1/100th of 1% of sales.
I think this is an amazing time
for independents. Weve come full
circle, said Jane Friedman, CEO
and cofounder of Open Road
Integrated Media, who termed herself a futuristic publisher who
does e-books and short-run print
through Ingram. She told Bercu,
Im going to get your percentage
up to 15%. In her view, e-books can
help promote print. This is the
additional sale. If there is reluctance on the part of independents to
responded that e-book pricing is

going to level out at higher than
$2.99.
But a number of booksellers
arent convinced. As Roxanne
Coady, owner of R.J. Julia in
Madison, Conn., said, The panel
was assuming the e-book is an addon and the consumer is device-neutralneither of which, she
believes, is the case. For Bradley
Graham, co-owner of Politics &
Prose in Washington, D.C., Its
understandable that the panel
became focused on the e-book
given how were all struggling to
understand what the impact is
going to be. There was a missed
opportunity to discuss what the
future will be in other areas.
sell all books in all formats, [customers] are going to go elsewhere.

To some extent, Hachette Book
Group CEO Michael Pietsch shares
that view. He noted that part of the
promotion for the repackaging of
Evelyn Waughs backlist will include
low-cost Waugh e-books for $1.99.
Of course, not all print titles work in
digital, as Barbara Marcus, president/ publisher of Random House
Childrens Books, pointed out, particularly illustrated titles.
In a question from the audience,
Ed Conklin, buyer at Chaucers
Books in Santa Barbara, Calif., said,
Im not real interested in e-books.
Judith Rosen
Thats because theres no way for a
customer to buy an
e-book in his store.
In a follow-up question, Emily Pullen,
manager of Word
Books in Brooklyn,
N.Y., pointed out
how little money
booksellers make on
e-book sales. If I

PubMatch, the global rights organization that Publishers Weekly co-owns
with Combined Book Exhibit, has
forged a partnership with the selfpublishing association BookWorks
to launch a new BookWorks Web

offered to BookWorks members.
Betty Sargent, the former editorin-chief of William Morrow who

books (and self-published one), says: A

Girls Outpace
Boys in Digital
Use
Kristen McLean of Bookigee and
Carl Kulo, the U.S. director of
Bowker, gave about 90 BEA attendees a provocative snapshot of the
latest trends in the childrens book
market during yesterday mornings
ABA Day of Education. This is
extremely fresh data from
Bowkers Understanding the
Childrens Book Consumer in the
Digital Age three-year study,
which began in fall 2011, McLean
told the audience. The two interpreted a series of graphs revealing
consumers book-buying patterns
and childrens reading patterns as
of JanuaryFebruary 2013 with an
emphasis on childrens digital use.
For the first time, Bowker was able
to break down the results by gender, which revealed some interesting statistics. Girls are outpacing
boys in media, except for gaming,
McLean said. Girls are getting earlier and deeper access to devices
than boys. Ages 02 are the only
ages at which boys are handed
devices more readily than girls,
while with ages 36 58% of girls
have access to devices compared to
43% of boys. Not only are parents
giving girls access to devices at an
earlier age than boys, but they also
place fewer restrictions on girls
than boys.
Gender differences even play a
role in one of the more startling,
potentially disturbing trends for
the industry that McLean and Kulo
emphasized during their presentation. Parents are, more and more,
making their book-buying decisions without soliciting any input,
including 38% of parents of children ages 06 making their bookbuying decisions without outside
influences or personal recommendations, up from 32% in 2011.
People are making more bookbuying decisions on their own,
McLean said. How do we engage
them? Parents are more comfortable selecting books for girls, with
45% of them doing so, but seek
more input when purchasing books
for boys.

Two Books in Tandem

Gene Luen Yang, author of the
acclaimed graphic novel American
Born Chinese, returns to BEA with a
new bookreally two books that
work in tandemBoxers and
Saints, the story of the Chinese
Boxer Rebellion, told through the
lives of two young Chinese from the
early part of the century (Dark
Horse, Sept.). The two books fuse
history and fable to tell
the story of the rebellion from both sides:
that of the Boxers, an
uprising of messianic
young men from the
countryside determined to drive foreigners and Catholic missionaries out of China,
and the story of the
Saints, the Chinese
converts and Catholic
Gene Luen Yang
missionaries targeted
and often massacred by the Boxers,
who see them as oppressors.
In Boxers, Yang tells the story of
little Bao, a young Chinese boy who
sees arrogant Catholic missionaries destroy Chinese religious idols
and watches British soldiers brutally beat his father. He eventually
joins the Boxers, who combine tra-
ditional martial arts training

with mysticism, and believed
that not only were they impervious to harm but that they
could call spirit soldiers from
the heavens to fight alongside
them. In the companion volume,
Saintsthe covers of both
books are designed to combine
in a beautiful graphic tableau
when set face-out,
side by sidewe meet
Four-Girl, a devil girl
and misfit, always in
trouble, who repeatedly sees a vision of
Joan of Arc and converts, though, as in all
things, for her own
quirky and not completely pious reasons.
Yangs interest in
the subject was piqued
when Pope John Paul
II canonized about 80 Chinese martyrs in 2000, and he noticed most of
the saints were martyred during
the Boxer Rebellion (18991901).
This led him to create what turned
into two graphic novels set in the
periodhis first works of historical
graphic fiction. Yang, who is Catholic, said he and his Chinese Catholic
community in the Bay Area were

excited at the time, but the Chinese
government protested the canonizations because the Saints are
seen as traitors who betrayed Eastern culture. But Yang notes, This
conflict resonated with mespeaking Chinese and talking about
Jesusit embodies the same inner
struggle I was facing between faith
and culture.
Yang says he sees parallels
between the Boxersyoung, poor,
and powerless Chinese peasants
and modern geek/comic book culture, which also sees itself as alienated from the mainstream. Most
of the Boxers were introduced to
the exploits of colorful and powerful Chinese gods by Chinese
operas. They were like the comic
book superheroes of today. I was
sucked into comics by my

own disempowerment and
found personal power
through these powerful
comic book characters.
The Saints, he said, were
much the same: poor, marginalized, and brutally dismissed from mainstream
Chinese society. Early Chinese Christians, he said,
were like manga fans in the
U.S. looking to find themselves in other cultures. Early
Chinese converts to Christianity
were often women and criminals,
people with no place in Chinese
society, Yang says, noting that his
mother is a modern-day Christian
convert; I pulled a lot of stories
about converts from my Catholic
community.
Yang, who was nominated for a
National Book Award for American
Born Chinese, has a busy BEA
schedule. He signs his books today
at 2:30 p.m., Table 8 in the Autographing Area, and tomorrow at 11
a.m. at the Dark Horse booth (1003).
At 3:15 p.m. tomorrow he will be at
the CBC Author Tea in Room
1E121E13. Hes also on The New
Graphic Novel panel today at 4
p.m. on the Uptown Stage.

Tea and Empathy

Thanks to a serendipitous holiday party, Booksicals founder, Susan
Chodakiewitz, found herself seated next to a gentleman named Mel Elias, to
whom she was relating her passion for tea and her hopes to write a book for
children that would encourage them to drink tea. Elias happens to be the
president and CEO of the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, a coffee and tea bar, and
coincidentally, the companys tea master had recently e-mailed Elias about
wanting to write a tea book for kids. Hence a meeting between the two new friends and Coffee Bean &
Tea Leafs tea master David De Candia. David and I
were like one soul, says Chodakiewitz. We both
wanted to do something adventurous yet spiritual,
and we wanted to tell the story of the magical world
of tea. Their collaboration created Master Davey
and the Magic Tea House (Booksicals, Sept.).
De Candia didnt set out to be a tea master. He
joined Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf 17 years ago as a distribution manager after 16 years in the oil industry,
and was struck that there wasnt a specific tea buyer
for the company. Taking on more responsibilities, he became more interested in tea, and the company sent him on trips to the various countries that
supply its tea. I started writing about all the different characters I had seen
and the different experiences I had, he says. It started to build into something, and as it turned out, Master Davey seems to be who I am now, and
Hopper, whos the 10-year-old boy in the book, represents all of the people
who come through where I workwhether its in the tea classes I teach or
just coming by to visit.
Here at BEA, Booksicals is showcasing the book and offering tea tastings of
its companion Tiger Tea Herbal Infusion, at its booth (1283) today and
Saturday, 11 a.m.2 p.m., and on Friday, 10 a.m.noon. BEA participants and
museum buyers can sign up for a free raffle for a tea tasting and ceremony
with De Candia, which will be announced after the Museum Buyers
Breakfast on Friday. Booksicals is also raffling off one signed, limited-edition
print of artwork from the book, signed by the two authors and illustrator
Kent Yoshimura.

They say you cannot judge a book by its cover, but what about its title? The
whole idea behind Meredith Mason Browns second trade book is right
there in the title: Touching Americas History: From the Pequot War through
WWII (Indiana Univ. Press, Mar.). While Brownwho has had a successful
career as a corporate lawyer and legal writer for 40 years in New Yorkdid
a great deal of research for his new book, the driving force
behind it came from a collection of 20 family artifacts gathered in his Connecticut home.
These artifacts included a stone axe head used in the
Pequot War in the 1630s; a letter from George Washington
saying he might not make it to the Constitutional
Convention in 1787 that made him president; shavings
from the scaffolding where John Brown (no relation) was
hanged in 1859; the western novel General Dwight
Eisenhower read to pass the time waiting for the weather
to clear before a certain battle on a beach in Normandy
could take place; and even a piece of Hitlers toilet bowl
swiped by a godfather at the end of WWII.
So Brown not only uses the artifacts to segue into history from his personal archive in Touching Americas History, he uncovers how his own
ancestors played a role in what shaped this country, war after war after war.
It is a unique approach that got the attention of Joseph Ellis, the Pulitzer
Prize winningauthor of Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation.
It seems to me that Brown has discovered a whole new way of doing history, says Ellis. We might call it the tactile approach. Whatever its called,
Brown makes it into a novel form of storytelling.
Browns first trade book, Frontiersman: Daniel Boone and the Making of
America, was published by Louisiana State University Press in 2008. In its
PW review the book was called the most readable and balanced biography
yet published of Boone. Writing readable and engaging history is what
Brown wanted to accomplish in both books.
Touching Americas History dovetails areas we are widely known for,
notes Mandy Clarke, IUPs trade marketing and publicity manager. She
says that similar to how the presss railroad books (in its Railroads Past and
Present series) tell the story of America through individual railways or its
paleontology books (in its Life of the Past series) use fossils to reveal the life
of our past, Touching Americas History is cultural history and our history at
its best. Through Browns book, we continue to explore how the story of a
nation can be told through the history of objects.

Marking
Memorable
Milestones
A handful of childrens publishers
have arrived at BEA eager to
announce and celebrate anniversaries of books, characters, or imprints.
The Reluctant Dragon; Lafcadio,
The Lion Who Shot Back; Sammy the
Spider; and Harry Potter all reach
milestones in 2013, as do several
childrens lines. Heres a look at
some of the celebrations underway
at the booths.
Holiday House (booth 721) is marking the 75th year of The Reluctant
Dragon, a collaboration between
childrens book titans Kenneth
Grahame and Ernest E. Shepard,
with an anniversary gift edition due
in September. The book features an
introduction and appreciation by
childrens book historian Leonard
Marcus. He relates how in 1938 Helen
Gentry, cofounder of Holiday House,
discovered the story The Reluctant
Dragon in Dream Days, Kenneth
Grahames 1898 collection of essays
about childhood. Recognizing it as a
work that would resonate with children, Gentry lined up Shepard as
illustrator and published the story
for young readers. Attending BEA to
help celebrate this poetry-loving
dragon, Marcus will sign copies of
the anniversary edition tomorrow,
noon12:30 p.m., at Table 7.
Half a century has passed since
the late Shel Silverstein published
his first book, Lafcadio, the Lion Who
Shot Back. Featured at the
HarperCollins Childrens Books
booth (2039) is the publishers 50th
anniversary edition of this fable,
which sports the original, full-color
1963 cover with a celebratory gold
foil sticker. When the book is released
in September, the publisher will kick
off anniversary celebrations. These
will be followed by commemorations
of more Shel Silverstein milestones
in 2014, when Dont Bump the
Glump, A Giraffe and a Half, and The
Giving Tree also turn 50, and Where
the Sidewalk Ends has its 40th anniversary.
Twenty-year-old Sammy Spider is
the toast of Kar-Ben Publishings
booth (2456), where visitors can
peruse Sammy Spiders First Book of
Jewish Holidays by Sylvia A. Rouss,

Janus Kahn. This is the
20th title and the first
board book starring the
spider, who learns
about concepts as well
as Jewish customs, holidays, and

values. Also due in the fall is Sammy
Spiders First Yom Kippur. The publisher will release downloadable
materials on its Web site this summer to help its customers celebrate
Sammy Spiders birthday.

Harry is well poised to attract new

the enchantments of Hogwarts:
since the fall 1998 publication of the
first book, Harry Potter and the

than 150 million copies of the series
in print in the U.S. aloneand
worldwide sales top 450 million copies. Kibuishi will sign limited edition

Publishing celebrates 30 years of
issuing books aimed at fulfilling the
companys mission to help children
and teens think for themselves, succeed in life, and make a difference
in the world. In 1983, founder Judy

grew out of her masters thesis: The
Gifted Kids Survival Guide and The
Gifted Teen Survival Guide, which
have more than 300,000 copies in
print and have spawned additional

In honor of its 30th anniversary, the

Editors
Happy to
Buzz
Two popular panels return to BEAs
programming this year, giving five
editors of young adult and five editors of middle-grade books a
chance to share news of a forthcoming novel for which they have high
hopes.
The Young Adult Editors Buzz
Panel takes place this morning,
1010:50 a.m., in Room 1E14/1E15.
The following editors will talk up
these novels: Sara Goodman, associate editor of St. Martins Press
(Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell); Wendy
Loggia, executive editor of
Delacorte Press (Anna Jarzabs
Tandem); Emily Meehan, DisneyHyperion editorial director (Cristin
Terrills All Our Yesterdays); Kate
OSullivan, executive editor of
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
(Entangled by Amy Rose Capetta);
and Elise Howard, editor and publisher of Algonquin Young Readers
(Sara Farizans If You Could Be
Mine).
I am thrilled to spotlight All Our
Yesterdays, but Im so terrified I
wont do it justice, says Meehan.
The novel has terrifying emotional
depth and it is the kind of book that,
when its over, you are beyond
depressed that theres not more to
read.
Having attended BEA Editors
Buzz Panels over the years,
Meehan says she was flattered to be
asked to take part in this years
event, noting, I know Im in some
really talented company, and I
know how much everyone looks
forward to these particular panels.

would feel and think, so that was the beginning.
Beah shares his writing process. I think about the story, about the names
of the characters, their age, their gender, the location, and then I just start
writing. The characters begin to come alive and create moments of their
own, and as the writing begins to shape up I go back and find that there is a
natural structure that finds itself, as opposed to me trying to force something. This also comes from my background in oral tradition, where you start
stories and allow the story to have a life of its own, and then the story
becomes you as youre telling it.
The author hopes readers will learn something about the strength of the
human spirit by reading his book. We all find joy and radiance and a reason
to move on even in the most dire of circumstances. Even in chaos and madness, theres still a beauty that comes from just the vibrancy of another
human spirit.
Beah is one of the speakers at this mornings Author Breakfast, where a

After War
Ishmael Beah came to prominence as a former

child soldier who survived the civil war in
Sierra Leone and wrote of his harrowing experiences in the 2007 bestselling memoir A Long
Way Gone. He traveled the world talking about
his wartime life and discovered that most people in his audience didnt think about the
impact of the aftermath of war on a community.
Theres so much focus and interest about what
happens during war, but very little about what
happens when people return to homes and
communities that have been destroyed.
Theres a renewal that happens, but its a very difficult one. You have to live
next door to neighbors that youve seen the best and the worst of because of
the circumstanceshow do you do that? Thats what the desire to write a
novel came out ofI wanted to understand that because its not an easy
thing.
In his first novel, Radiance of Tomorrow (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Jan.
2014), Beah examines postwar life in Sierra Leone through the eyes of two
friends who return to their village and try to repair what the civil war has
destroyed. The book starts with an older woman who goes back home after
the war. I tried to envision what it would have been like for my grandmother

the lack of economic fairness foreshadowed a lot of the New Deal legislation
of the 30s, adds Goodwin, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 1995 for her biography of the architect of the New Deal, No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor
Roosevelt: The Home Front in World War II.
Goodwin, renowned for delving into momentous periods in American history through the lives of the great men (and women) who shaped events, is
back at BEA, ready to give a talk at todays Book and Author Breakfast thats
not going to be your fathers history lesson. The Bully Pulpit: Theodore
Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism (S&S,
Oct.) examines the first decade of the Progressive Era through the lives of
Rough and Ready Teddy Roosevelt, the nations 26th president, and his
hand-picked successor, William Howard Taftagainst whom, four years
later, Roosevelt ended up running for another term. Not only did the 1912
campaign destroy a longstanding personal friendship between the two men,
but Woodrow Wilson cruised to victory, becoming the 28th president.
The Progressive Era research project all started with Roosevelt, Goodwin
says, confiding that shes very careful about whom she writes because she
has to live with this person for a long time. It took her six years to research
and write No Ordinary Time and 10 years to complete Team of Rivals: The
Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. I knew with Teddy Roosevelt, I could,
she says. He is that large of a figure. But she wanted to give a fresh spin on
Roosevelts life and times, so she homed in on his intense relationship with
the muckraking press, as well as the fraught relationship with his successor in office.
As for Taft, about whom Americans know little besides the story of how he
was so fat that he once got stuck in a White House bathtub, Goodwin emphasizes that he was empathetic and much more interesting than she
thought he would be when she began her research. Shes convinced that Taft
is on the verge of being rescued from obscurity, noting that the Washington
Nationals baseball team added a fifth mascot this past January to its racing
presidents promotional events featuring likenesses of former chief executives: William Howard Taft has joined George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. I can hardly wait to get my picClaire Kirch
ture taken with them, says Goodwin.

Chatting with bestselling crime novelist Lisa

Scottoline, whose latest Rosato & Associates
book is Accused (St. Martins, Oct.), is reminiscent of listening to the late Erma Bombeck read
one of her commentaries about life: there is no
pretense or self-consciousness, but plenty of
warm laughter that spills over and punctuates
her self-assessment.
I love my job, and I have no personal life, she
says, chuckling. Im writing everything I want
to write, and feel better than I ever have.
Accused certainly reflects this kind of confidence.
It features 13-year-old Allegra, a brilliant, precocious girl who uses her trust fund money to
hire Rosato & Associates. Allegra is certain the
man convicted and imprisoned for murdering
her sister is innocent, and as the legal team investigates, more baffling questions than answers are revealed and threatening situations arise for Rosato
partner Mary DiNunzio.
As evidenced in the bond of sisterhood among the Rosato & Associates
legal team, family is profoundly important to Scottoline. I come from a very
loving, close-knit Italian family, she says, similar to that of my character
Marys in Accused. My mother had 19 sisters and brothers, so you can imagine
how big my family is. When I was a kid everyone was always in everyone elses
business. This sounds uncannily like the Rosato & Associates offices in
Philadelphia, where there are no secrets among the four female attorneys,
and they can practically finish one anothers sentences.
Over the years, the characters in the Rosato seriesAccused is the 12th
bookhave changed with the new experiences and events that unfold in the
womens lives. In Accused, for instance, not only does DiNunzio finally make
partner in the law firm but she also becomes engaged to her longtime boyfriend,
Anthony, albeit not without some hesitation. Mary is the most like everywoman
in the series, Scottoline says. Shes still insecure and still growing into her
own skin. Scottoline pauses for a moment, laughs, then adds, Mary is also

years and heads its book-to-film department,

Random House Studio. It has romance, fun,
pathology, agony, and joy, and it has a message:
love doesnt solve all our problems, but its a
good place to start. Dr. Bob Heller, the novels
protagonist, is well-known in Manhattan not
only for being a beloved veterinarian but also
for his Ask Dr. Bob newspaper advice column
for pet lovers. As the story unfolds, the reader
learns that Bob understands animals a lot better than he does people, especially when tragedy strikes in his personal life just as he thinks
hes figured out how to thrive in the human
world as easily as he does among cats, dogs, and
hamsters. The novel is interspersed with letters
to the Ask Dr. Bob column, which the vet responds to within the context of
the plot itself, a clever device that reveals the growth of Bobs character.
One of Getherss inspirations for Ask Bob was his own vet in New York. The
other was Roman Polanski, with whom Gethers worked in 1981 on the directors memoir. It wasnt that long after the Manson murders, Gethers says,
and during the course of this project Roman and I were talking one day
about relationships. He said it would be almost impossible to have a real
relationship with someone [else] because his wife [Sharon Tate] died when
everything was still perfect. When Roman told me, You cant compete with
the ghost of perfection, I never forgot it. It is this idea that informs the story
and relationships in Ask Bob.
Gethers compares Ask Bob to the work of Nick Hornby and the 2011
romantic comedy film One Day. He hopes it will appeal to readers who
appreciate intelligent, realistic romances. Love of animals is wonderful, but
its easy and simple and thus has limits, says Gethers, who lives in New York
City with two Scottish Fold cats he adopted after Norton died. Love between
people is complicateddifficult and painful and often agonizingand much
more satisfying and gratifying.
Gethers signs Ask Bob at 2 p.m. today at the Macmillan booth (1557).

nice hello.

Pennsylvania with a menagerie of animals, says her life today is blessed and

Inspired by His Kids
Distinctly versatile Kevin Henkes, who

received the Caldecott Medal for Kittens Full
Moon and Newbery Honors for Olives Ocean,
targets a slightly different audience in The Year
of Billy Miller (Greenwillow, Sept.). I decided it
would be fun to do a book about one school year
in a kids life, he says, and I thought second
grade would be a good year. Thus Billy Miller,
who navigates the challenges of school and of
life with his younger sister, was born.
For inspiration, Henkes tapped into his
memories of his own childrena son now 17 and a daughter 15when they
were second graders. I was looking through the scrapbooks that my wife
and I kept for them at that age, he says. That was a starting point, but every
book really does take on a life of its own, which is good. When I look back, all
of my books are kind of photo albums of that time in my life when I created
them. It almost always happens with the novels, which of course take longer
to write, that things that happen in my everyday life slip into the stories, so
they become a kind of marker of what went on in my life at the time.
Henkes also lent his artistic skills to The Year of Billy Miller, which is illustrated throughout with black-and-white drawings. I like young novels that
have pictures, and in my other novels Id done only spots at the beginning of
chapters, he says. For this novel, I wanted to do something more than that,
and adding illustrations was great fun.
Asked about having received both Caldecott and Newbery nods, Henkes
replies, I really do love both writing and illustrating, so I am grateful to have
been honored for both. The best award of all, really, is when one is working
and it really is workingthere is nothing better than that. If Im writing and
hit a dead end and dont think Im ever going to get turned around, and then
I do, thats wonderful. And if Im doing a picture book and get stuck on a picture and finally make it work, thats really rewarding.
Henkes, who will sign ARCs of The Year of Billy Miller today, 1011 a.m., at
Table 9 in the Autographing Area, is happy to be back at BEA. I still feel like
a new kid on the block in a certain way, he says. The excitement of BEA is
still so high, and I love that. And I love that about my job, too. Even though its
been over 30 years, it still seems so exciting.

The Heart Beat
It took 10 years for German writer Jan-Philipp

Sendker to get his bestselling debut novel, The
Art of Hearing Heartbeats, printed in the United
States, but he never gave up his dream to publish
here. It was recently named a 2013 Indie Choice
Honor Book of the Year in adult fiction, and his
American publisher flew him here to accept his
award at the ABA Celebration of Bookselling
Luncheon and Author Awards Ceremony today.
Sendker is also at BEA to promote his second
novel, A Well Tempered Heart (Other Press, Jan.
2014), a sequel to his famed first book. He never
intended to write a sequel. I had an idea about a
woman who is hearing voices she cannot control,
who keeps asking questions about herself. It was
never key in my mind what kind of woman it was.
I knew there was a novel in it, but the main character didnt come alive for me, so
I forgot about it.
Sometime later, he made one of his trips to Kalaw, Burma, where his first
book largely takes place, and while sitting in a teahouse, daydreaming, one of
the main characters in Heartbeats, Julia, came to mind. I had the sense that
she was coming down the road approaching me. All of a sudden I remembered
the idea about the woman hearing voices, and I thought, wow, of course, its
Julia! It was like a big puzzle and I had found the most important pieces. This
liberating it can be if youre really

How

Handler Told Me, hit the bestseller list. Its second, MAN UP!: Tales of My Delusional SelfConfidence by Chelsea Lately roundtable panelist Ross Mathews, was released this month
and Handlers next outing as an author,
Uganda Be Kidding Me, is due in October.
The books about me, a girl from New Jersey,
going on all these amazing tripsBotswana,
South Africa, the Bahamas, Montenegro,
Croatia. I always go with a big group, so that
lends itself to lots of characters. Like her friend
Shelly: I awoke at 4:45 a.m. in Johannesburg,
South Africa, in my bra and underwear and
looked over at my lesbian friend Shelly, who
was in pajamas. Adult pajamas are hard to take
seriously, especially when they are worn by a
forty-five-year-old woman and are silk screened all over with pick-up trucks.
A passionate reader as well as a writer, Handler should have no trouble fitting in with a convention hall filled with book lovers. She doesnt take a
moment to think before she shares the books shes most recently read: A.M.
Holmess May We Be Forgiven; her friend Gabrielle Reeces new book, My
Foot Is Too Big for the Glass Slipper; Jennifer Egans A Visit from the Goon
Squad; and Jonathan Troppers One Last Thing Before I Go. My dad made
me read all the timeI think he was worried because I had blonde hair and
blue eyes. I appreciate it now because I read constantlyIm addicted to it.
Its definitely a good habit he got me into.
Handler is doing a photo-op following the breakfast at the Grand Central
booth (1829).

was the novel I was thinking of years ago.

Asked to compare the two books, Sendker says, The Art of Hearing
Heartbeats is about the magical power of love between two handicapped
people. A Well Tempered Heart is a different kind of love story, but its also
about the power of forgiveness and how liberating it can be if youre really
able to forgive.
Sendker fans will be happy to know that the two books are actually part of
a trilogy. But right now the author is working on the screenplay of The Art of
Hearing Heartbeats, which he hopes will start shooting next year.
This is his first time at Book Expo, and it, too, is a dream come true. I used to
be the U.S. correspondent for Stern, and I remember going to the Upper East
Side in New York and seeing a sign mentioning Book Expo. I found that so exciting that there was a book expo in New York and I thought, Maybe one day....
Sendker will be signing ARCs of his latest novel in the Other Press booth

lounge will follow the awards ceremony.

A. Scott Berg
On the Emotional Side of Wilson

I read my first book on Woodrow Wilson at age
15, and I was hooked, says A. Scott Berg, the
Pulitzer Prizewinning author of four bestselling biographies including Lindbergh and Max
Perkins. Berg has just completed Wilson, his
long-awaited biography of the 28th president of
the United States (Putnam, Sept.).
When most people think of Woodrow Wilson,
they see a dour ministers son who never
cracked a smile, where in fact he was a man of
genuine joy and great sadness, Berg tells Show
Daily. I did not write a diplomatic history or a
history of foreign affairs in his life. I wanted the
reader to walk through his life and see it with
his eyes.
Complex and enigmatic, Woodrow Wilson
was president from 1913 to 1921 and led America into WWI with the now
famous slogan: to make the world safe for democracy. He championed an
ambitious Progressive agenda that set the stage for later initiatives such as
the New Deal and the Great Society.
I think it is important for readers to know that it is possible to bring intellectualism and idealism to the White House and still be political enough to
advance an agenda, says Berg, who adds that Wilsons example is also cautionary. In the beginning of his presidency he got a lot done with Congress,
but because he was stubborn in his idealism and would not give an inch, he
didnt get the one thing he really wanted, the League of Nations.
Drawing from new caches of documents and personal letters, Berg says he
did not uncover anything stunning about Wilson, like a lost year in Tahiti.
He did discover a previously unpublished threat that would have been
utterly impossible to keep secret today.
As to writing technique, Berg often compares himself to an impressionist
painter who uses thousands of dabs of paint to create a literary canvas. The
new material did help him develop a penetrating emotional portrait of
Wilson, whom he calls a tragic idealist. He adds, Big things happened to
him. He had a beloved wife die while in the White House. He was bereft and
then he fell in love again during the presidency.
In all of the reading I have done on Wilson, I have never seen a book that
captured the emotional side of the man, says Berg. I wanted to do that book.
A. Scott Berg will be appearing on the Downtown Author Stage today at 1
p.m.

Alice McDermott
One Womans Voice
You wouldnt think in the 21st century that it would be seen as an act of conceit to write a novel from one common womans point of view, but thats how
author Alice McDermott perceives her seventh novel, Someone (Farrar,
Straus and Giroux, Sept.). I think in some ways its a lot of hubris to be a
woman writer and write an entire novel from the point of view of a very ordinary woman who is not terribly concerned with war and politics, but with
matters of the heart, she tells Show Daily. This is a book I always wanted to
write in that its a single womans voice over timea woman whose voice is
not heard much in her own lifetime.
McDermott is a professor in the writing seminars program at Johns Hopkins University
and notes that her female students believe they
have to either write from a mans point of view
or include the male viewpoint in their work.
They feel that makes them more serious. They
have the fear of being accused of writing chick
lit if they write exclusively from a womans
point of view or about a female characters life
and concerns.
The award-winning writer, several of whose
books have been finalists for the Pulitzer Prize,
has no fears in that arena. She explains what
specifically inspired her to write Someone. I

with Harvey Korman. With him I was

died in 2008, were part of the classic
ensemble that made The Carol
Burnett Show one of the most popular television shows ever. Conway
was also a writer on the show and
famous for teasing Korman mercilessly during skits to make him
break characterand usually succeeding. Harvey was probably the
brightest guy I ever met. He could do
a crossword puzzle in ink in 10 minutes, but the man could not tie his
shoes, so he was my foil. He could be
led in any direction I wanted, jokes
Conway.
Conway grew up in a small town
in Ohio where, he says, he had a
wonderful childhood with parents
who were very understanding
about what this nut case was doing.
His early struggles with dyslexia
taught him the value of humor. I
dreaded having the teacher call on
me in front of the class. I remember
giving a book report on They Were
Expendable, and I said They Were
Expandable. The class laughed, and
they thought I was being funny.
Lesson learned.
From Carol Burnett and McHales
Navy to recent guest spots on 30

Conway has secured longevity in a
business that rarely supports it. The
key, says Conway, is to enjoy the

Conway says he is looking forward to BEA and will be happy to

book, he would like readers to continue smiling after they have read it
and look at life a little lighter. He
adds, The news is almost impossible to watch on a daily basis. I am

wanted to give their dramas a kind of separate attention. Theres something

extremely satisfying in eliminating the secondary plot and focusing on a single characters dilemma from beginning to end. Its like pure protein and no
carbohydrateslike eating tuna fish out of a can over the sink. I like that.
Gurganus believes he has found the right formula in todays fast-paced digital world, where attention spans have shortened and where there are endless
distractions for todays readers. I think in terms of 80 to 100 pages. I love that
length and Im really in love with the novella. Writers have to respond to the
currency of the culture. Its the form thats most perfect for the way we live now.
Reminded that his first (and bestselling) novel, The Oldest Living Confederate
Widow Tells All, was such a large tome (718 pages), he says, She had 99 years
and the previous century to tell, and she was trying to tell not only her story
and her late husbands story, but the story of her nine children and of her friend,
the freed slave, Castalia, so it was joyful to have a voice as expansive as hers.
Hes annoyed over remarks that its been 11 years since he last published.
People say, Why havent you been writing? My god! I write every day. Its
just the difference between writing and publishing. I think of books not just
as pickles in a jar coming down the assembly line or as amusements that I
crank out, but as notes from experience. Theres a perspective that goes with
having lived another decade, and I hope thats reflected in the books. I want
them to be very funny and very honest at the same time.
This is Gurganuss first time at BEA. He will be signing galleys of his book
today, at the Liveright booth (1920), at 11 a.m.

Andrea Cremer and

David Levithan
Writing Soul Mates Collaborate
It was love at first sight as only two writers could experience it. Andrea
Cremer recalls that the YA novel she wrote with David Levithan, Invisibility
(Philomel), which pubbed this month with a 125,000-copy print run, all began
at ALA in Washington, D.C., in June 2010. They put methe newbieon a
panel with two god authors: John Green and David Levithan, she says.
Within minutes, Levithan was serenading Cremer in front of a room full of
100 teenagers with his rendition of the Righteous Brothers 1964 hit song,
Youve Lost That Loving Feeling. Levithan hastens to point out during the
joint interview that he doesnt do that for just anyone.
Reveling in the afterglow, Cremer subsequently wrote on her blog that,
despite her being a
YA author who
writes novels about
the paranormal
and Levithan being
a YA author whose
novels emphasize
popular culture
and contemporary
issues, he was her
writing soul
mate. She disclosed to her fans
that one of her
goals in life was to persuade Levithan to collaborate on a novel with her; she
joked that they could call it Werewolf Bands of London.
The rest, as they say, is history: Levithan contacted Cremer and said, Lets
do it. The two wrote Invisibility in alternating chapters: Levithan wrote from
the perspective of Stephen, a teenager whos invisible to others because of a
curse his grandfather, a powerful curse caster, placed on his mother before
he was born, and Cremer wrote from the perspective of Elizabeth, a recent
transplant to Manhattan from Minnesota, who can see Stephen. The two fall
in love while trying to evade the curse casters and spell seekers bent on
destroying them.
It was a first time for both. Unlike Levithan, who has collaborated with
John Green (Will Grayson, Will Grayson) and Rachel Cohn (Nick and Norahs
Infinite Playlist), Cremer, author of the Nightshade series, had never collaborated with another writer. She admits that she thought writing alternating
chapters without outlining a plot together first would be like writing a chain
letter, but Levithan advised her to think of him as her intended audience.
Levithan, noting that hed never entered the paranormal-world-buildingfantasy-curse-rules world before says that the collaboration worked well
because each of us had an expertise we were bringing to the table.
Today, Cremer and Levithan sign finished copies of Invisibility at Table 12
in the Autographing Area, 11:30 a.m.12:30 p.m. And because they have an
open marriage, Levithan jokes, each wrote on the side while writing
Invisibility: Levithans Two Boys Kissing will be released in August by Knopf,
and Cremers The Inventors Secret is due in spring 2014 from Philomel.

Nicole Snooki Polizzi

LaughingThrough the Bumps
Best known for her party-girl persona on the hit reality show Jersey Shore,
Nicole Snooki Polizzi has penned a book about pregnancy that is far from
the traditional what to expect tome. Baby Bumps: From Party Girl to Proud
Mama, and All the Messy Milestones Along the Way (Running Press, Dec.) is
her advice on being young and pregnantand not necessarily by choice. A
lot of pregnancy books out there are all about
the facts, like what happens this week and
what happens next week, Polizzi tells Show
Daily. I wanted a book that was more humorous, with funny stories to make it more relatable.
Polizzi was 24 and still living with her parents
when she and boyfriend Jionni were surprised
by the news of her pregnancy. Though initially
unprepared for parenthood, she embraced the
role of expectant mom by saying good-bye to
the hard-living lifestyle celebrated on six seasons of Jersey Shore. Her son, Lorenzo, was
born last year, and Polizzi says she has comfortably settled into motherhood. It has
changed my definition of fun.
Since giving birth, she adds, she has been deluged by questions from girls
her age about pregnancy and its emotional and physical challenges. This
book is what I needed when I was pregnant. I thought telling readers about
my experiences so they could laugh along might help them. Chapter titles
such as This Endless Hangover (first trimester), Its a Meatball! (first sonogram), Psycho Bitch (mood swings), Gas Crisis, and Does the Crib Come
in Leopard Print? set the stage for her signature style of repartee.
Jennifer Kasius, editorial director at Running Press, says, Its a sweet,
funny book that shows a completely different side to Nicole. Her fans will be
interested to see how she has evolved into a loving mom. But in addition, the
book will appeal to a largely ignored audience in the pregnancy/childcare
category: young moms who may not have planned on a baby.
What did she learn from writing Baby Bumps? Polizzi says, It actually
makes me want to get pregnant again. Stay tuned.
Polizzi is signing excerpts from Baby Bumps today at 11 a.m. in the Perseus
Karen Jones
Books Group/Running Press booth (1402).
Sheri Fink
After reporter Sheri Fink wrote her searing,

Pulitzer Prizewinning New York Times
Magazine article, The Deadly Choices at
Memorial, which examined the tumultuous
effect of Hurricane Katrina on New Orleanss
Memorial Medical Center, she knew the article
was not large enough to say what she wanted to
about that catastrophic event and the lessons
learned. Even her editor at the magazine said
she had enough material for two volumes. In
Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a StormRavaged Hospital (Crown, Aug.), she was able
to delve into some of the larger issues that the
article touched upon.
One of the biggest controversies that came out of the hospitals handling of
patients during the Katrina disaster was the decision to hasten the deaths of
those believed to have little chance of survival. In her book, Fink does not
rush to judgment; instead, she wants her readers to understand the context
in which these difficult choices were made. She says, The power had gone
out, the hospital was surrounded by water, the conditions were miserable.
You could imagine just trying to take care of the people in the heat with none
of the tools of modern medicine. They had decided to put the sickest patients
last at a certain pointthat was kind of a fateful decision.
Fink points out that the health-care people at Memorial had opposing views
about how to handle these patients. In her book, she examines the ethical and
practical issues from different angles so readers can come to their own deci-

sions. There were doctors who said, This is absolutely wrong. People dont
appear to be suffering to the degree where it would be medically appropriate
to sedate them or give them these drugs. I wont be a part of this. There were
others who said, These people are suffering and they need the medicine for
their comfort. And there were yet others who said, We need to hasten their
deaths because these people arent going to make it and we need to get out. I
certainly have a great amount of empathy for everyone who is put into that
situation.
The reporter, who was trained as a doctor and has been an aid worker during many natural disasters and armed conflicts, hopes both health-care professionals and ordinary citizens can learn from these experiences.
Preparedness is really key, she says, thinking about these things beforehand. There are ethical guidelines and standards that are applicable. If we
keep those in our heads as health professionals, its going to be easier to
respond.
For the rest of us, she notes that a lot of decisions about how resources get
allocated in disasters are made behind closed doors and that its time for
more of a public discussion about these issues: These arent medical questions as much as they are questions of morals and values.

Kiese Laymon
Chasing the Narrative
Kiese Laymon does nothing by half measures. Hes perhaps best known for
his nonfiction, which has appeared on the Web sites of ESPN, NPR, and
Gawker, where his unflinching essay How to Slowly Kill Yourself and Others
in America has been read by nearly a quarter million. But hes also been
working on a novela labor of love since
college 15 years ago, when he wrote, Im
a round, runaway character, and wrote a
book about a young man running away
from his own narrative.
But the course of true love never did
run smooth. A book like this was supposed to come out a long, long time ago,
he says. After what he terms an artistic
standoff with a publisher whod signed
his novel, he pulled it without knowing if
it would ever see publication.
This June, Agate will publish Long Division, about 14-year-old Citoyen
City Coldson, whos sent to his grandmothers to escape a spelling-bee
meltdown thats turned him into a YouTube celebrity. Hes soon caught up in
the disappearance of a young girl, the sudden possibility of time travel, and
an authorless book titled Long Division.
I wanted to play with the idea of a character trying to run from the narrative. There is a narrative the character is in and the narrative the character
wants to avoid, he explains. In fact, the duality of the work provided both a
challenge and the basis for a second novel: The question was, did I need to
write both, and how both books could fit together.
I didnt do it right, he says thoughtfully, but Ill get better.
Thats only the beginning of the story.
For Laymon, underneath the trappings of his time travel tale are much
deeper and more immediate stakes: though he points out that honesty has
entertainment value, and draws a line between fiction and nonfiction, his
reasons for writing both are the same. You know when you read novels or
essays or just sentences that you cant escape from? When you read or watch
or consume something, and the sentence sees you.... Thats the kind of art not
just that I want to produce but that saves lives.
And if its authors passion is any indication, Long Division offers a similar
challenge to its readers. If the book has a signature, its that its a time travel
book, but were all time travelerswhat were doing today is going to affect
tomorrow somehow or other. Are we going to make tomorrow better, more
compassionate, more thoughtful, more present, or arent we?
Laymon is signing today at Agates booth (1330A), 13 p.m.

Wendy Lower
Uncovering What Others Missed

Some people write exclusively about baseball,
or the stock market, or dog care. Wendy Lower
writes about the history of the Holocaust. This
is my occupation, she says. Teaching it, training others to research it, writing books about
it. Hitlers Furies: German Women in the Nazi
Killing Fields (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Oct.)
examines the unknown and horrific story of
German women in the Holocaust, not simply as
gleeful onlookers and violent tormentors
which, Lower says, they werebut as actual
killers on the eastern front during WWII. The
book is the product of years of painstaking digging in archives in Poland, Israel, and the U.S.
Lower, who teaches at Claremont McKenna
College in Southern California and is a historical consultant for the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, sifted
through the lives of hundreds of women to find the 13 who form the heart of
her bookthe most interesting and representative among them, she says.
Two of the women she was able to interview in person or by phone; those who
were dead or incapacitated had family members available to talk. In one
case, a memorable encounter, the family didnt know the history. I had to
drink coffee and cake with them while they listened to me explain why their
mother was convicted with a life sentence by the East German government.
Lower found the story of the female killers buried in reams of documents
and court testimony. Women were questioned after the war starting with
[the] Nuremburg [trial] when the authorities were trying to pursue male killers, the SS men. But the questioning was always about the men. If you go
back into the testimony, which is what I did, you see that the women felt safe
because they werent the target of the investigation, and they reveal information. They talked more freely in their statements and incriminated themselves. The prosecutors were so focused on the men they overlooked or dismissed the importance of the female witnesses.
Lower found the story of the female

killers buried in reams of documents
and court testimony.

When applying to graduate school in the late 1980s, Lower was told by her
advisers that Holocaust studies was too narrow a field to build a career on.
Well, the field has exploded, she says. The collapse of the Soviet Union had
a lot to do with it. That was a key event that has shaped the writing of this history in the last 20 years.

Tackling the Next BigThing
As a young man, Michael Pocalyko (pronounced poe-calico) had literary

aspirations and apprenticed to legendary publisher James Laughlin at New
Directions. His career path after that was varied: combat aviator, Navy commander, political candidate, venture capitalist. Now, at 58, he makes his first
appearance on the publishing scene with The Navigator (Forge, June), a
thriller billed as Wall Street comes to Washington in a story of greed, modern politics, and international intrigue.
I was a literary person years ago, Pocalyko
says. I am glad to be back to it.
Currently the CEO of Monticello Capital, a
boutique investment bank in the Washington,
D.C., metropolitan area, Pocalyko says the
novel form is a perfect vehicle for expressing
the big ideas of the day. The next big thing is
big data, the interplay of government and business. Whats important in serious fiction is a
nonfiction hook or an issue that is high in public
consciousness, and Im convinced the confluence of big government and big business is
what people have anxieties about today.
Though narrative nonfiction is his favorite
type of reading, he tips his hat to all of the best

thriller writers, mentioning Scott Turow and Harlan Coben as particular

influences. No one does quick staccato chapters better than Coben, he says.
Also Stephen Frye, Kurt Vonnegut, Sloan Wilson, and Joseph Hellerhis
narrative style, not his absurdist style. He adds, Im interested in how
authors take you into an environment you dont live in.
The toughest thing about writing The Navigator was crafting the way it all
comes together at the end, he says: If you do it right its transparent. You
never see the agony or the moves of all the chess pieces or which is the red
herring. I did a lot of diagramming and rewriting. It took 10 months for the
principle composition; 25%35% took 11 daysI just wrote and reoutlined
and rewrotethe final manuscript. It was really hard to get everything bolted
together right.
Pocalyko describes himself as talkative, one of the extroverts, and is very
keen on marketing for the novel. He is blogging, making appearances, and
writing for newspapers. This is the way you express big ideas and bring
them to the consciousness of the public.
Pocalyko is signing The Navigator today at the Forge booth (1557), 11:30 a.m.

Diane Dixon
FromTV to Novels
Sometimes ignorance is not just bliss but a blessing. Back when Dianne Dixon
was a clueless grad student, she listened when a friend told her that she was
so offbeat and funny that she should get a job at Disney or Hanna-Barbera. So,
not knowing it was inappropriate to cold-call such companies looking for
work, Dixon did just that, got to an executive at the latter company, and
W E E K LY
wound up arranging a meeting with him. I

didnt think it was an interview, so I wasnt nervous, says Dixon. He then asked her to go
home and write a presentation for a half-hour
sitcom. What followed was a very successful
career writing for Saturday morning television,
including Emmy nominations for her work on
Howie Mandels Bobbys World on Fox.
But Dixon, a nerdy, bookish girl whose parents died when she was an infant and who had
a rather nomadic childhood, had always
wanted to write a novel, having found solace on
the printed page in her youth. And when her
agent, Alice Tasman at Jean Naggar, sent out
the manuscript for Dixons first book, The
Language of Secrets, there was an auction, and Dixon wound up at
Doubleday in the hands of the legendary publisher Phyllis Grann. Soon after,
Grann announced her retirement, and Dixon fell into despair until her agent
told her to suck it up and write the book. Last fall Tasman sent out the manuscript for The Book of Someday (Landmark, Sept.), and Dixon decided to go
to the movies. By the time she got out of the theater she had missed six calls
from her agent.
She said we had a pre-emptive offer and we have 24 hours to respond,
says Dixon. At the time, she had never heard of Sourcebooks, but Tasman
assured Dixon that editor Shana Drehs was putting together a new fiction
imprint to be called Landmark, and she wanted Dixons new book to be a
centerpiece of the launch. Sourcebooks gave Dixon a six-figure two-book
deal, and the author says the entire company got behind The Book of
Someday from the beginning.

here and there, she says.

Those thoughts led Cooper to picture what life was like for the Native
Americans who, she says, were here for much, much longer than those who
came on the Mayflower and all the boats thereafter. In her book, Cooper
weaves together the stories of a Native American boy and a 10-year-old settler in colonial New England as they forge a dangerous friendship in light of
the deep tensions between their respective peoples. Its a different look at
the beginning of New England, when whites first came into the world of the
Native Americans, she says.
All my books are very much rooted in place in one way or another, she
says. When Id first come to America [from her native Britain] I was terribly
homesick, Cooper recalls. A writer friend told me, you write better about a
place when youre away from it. So, here I am again. I removed myself by 300
years from my saltmarsh. She hopes to convey to readers some sense of why
the place she calls home is so special. There is a great deal of sky, she notes,
with beautiful sunrises and sunsets and the stars blazing at night because
its so far from the city.
Ghost Hawk is a bit of a departure from her fantasy titles, including The
Dark Is Rising Sequence but, Cooper says, There is always an element of
fantasy in what I do. She has enjoyed this latest effort, noting the only drawback to doing these kinds of books [in the historical fiction vein] is that you
spend a couple of years doing research. I have to tell my publishers, Dont
let me do anymore; I havent got time! she says with a laugh.
Attending BEA for the first time, Cooper looks forward to a wonderful
experience. Being surrounded by people who love booksits what were all
about, she says. Its rather like a hermit coming out and suddenly youre in
a world you belong to.

The Book of Someday opens with nine-year-old Livvys journal, which she
calls The Book of Someday because it holds all the things she vows to do
someday. It was a complicated Jenga puzzle, she says. It all came together
when Dixon decided to write the story on an eight-foot-long scroll that she
laid out on her office floor.
When you write screenplays, says Dixon, you are creating a blueprint of a
story others will execute. Especially in animated television, she adds, because
she is not an animator. No matter how successful Dixon has been in Hollywood
where she never thought shed end upshe says she feels most at home writing novels because she is creating the whole story herself.
Today, Dixon is signing at the Sourcebooks booth (829), 12 p.m.

Tracey Garvis Graves

A Serendipitous Movie Option
Like most self-published authors, Tracey

Garvis Graves just always wanted to write a
novel and was determined not to let her 100%
rejection by agents and publishers stop her.
The Des Moines wife and mother of two says
she set out to write On the Island in 2010
because the best way to find out how to write a
book is to sit down and write a book.
In one year, On the Islandabout a woman
stranded on a desert island with a teenage boy
she was hired to tutor after he missed a year of
school because of cancer treatmentbecame a
phenomenon, the focus of a promotion on
Amazon, and Graves invested in a couple of
online ads that got the novel selling up to 5,000 copies per month. Then MGM
optioned the movie rights. Jill Schwartzman at Plume read about the movie
deal in Variety, and contacted the author.
The people at Penguin read it right away, says Graves. And Plume published On the Island in paperback last year.
This coming September, Dutton is publishing Covet, Gravess second novel
in hardcover, and Plume will release an e-only companion novella to On the
Island (which has sold more than 500,000 copies) by Graves this summer.
Its a huge sense of accomplishment to write a second book, says Graves,
who adds that she started working on Covet to take her mind off of the rejections she got for On the Island.
Covet is about a couple whose marriage is at risk after the husband has
been out of work for a year and lands a job that requires that he travel, and
his wife befriends a police officer in his absence. Graves said she was
inspired by a series of questions in her own life, like what would happen if
her husband, working in commercial real estate lost his job? Of course, with
fiction, you want to take it one step further, says Graves. The novel asks, what
happens if the life you want and the woman you love belong to someone else?

Covet is very different from On the Island, but still straddles the line
between romance and contemporary womens fiction. Id like to be known
as an author who writes a different book every time, says Graves. More than
anything, the one-time self-published phenomenon says she feels lucky to be
able to have quit her day job at Wells Fargo to write full time. But she still
spends a lot of that time communicating with fans on Facebook, Twitter, and
e-mail.
This is her first visit to BEA, and Graves says she is excited to meet as many
booksellers as possible. She is signing today at Table 8, 34 p.m.

natural addition to the long list of celebrity authors. Surprisingly, no publisher approached her with a contract in hand. It had come up in conversation, but nothing really serious, she says. A desire to write a childrens book
led her to agent Celeste Fine at Sterling Lord. When I met Celeste, she suggested I start by writing an adult book. We talked about doing a cookbook or
a fitness book, but I didnt want my face on the cover of a book just to have my
face on the cover of a book. If I wrote a book, it would have to be something
authentic.
The inspiration for Happily Ever After: The Life-Changing Power of a
Grateful Heart (Da Capo, Dec.) came from an unlikely source: Sutters
Twitter posts. For the past four years, Ive been writing about the favorite
part of my day, often about something during the day Im grateful for, as a
way to connect with family and friends. Gratitude has always been a core
belief of mine, being thankful for blessings big and small. In the book, Sutter
shares personal stories, as well as anecdotes from friends, family, and
experts, which, she hopes, will help everyone live a happy and grateful life.
As for that childrens book, its still a possibility. For now, shes content
reading favorite books like Salina Yoons Penguin and Pinecone and Deborah
Underwoods Part-time Princess to her son and daughter. As for the glamorous fairy tale life? Sutter can only laugh. I get up, make the kids breakfast,
put on my sweats, and work on my book.
Today, Sutter is signing a chapbook of Happily Ever After in the Perseus

A propitious phone call from the Brooklyn

school where he was a teacher launched a new
career for Adam Gidwitz, who was asked to fill
in as a substitute librarian for the day. Charged
with finding something to read to second graders, he searched his bookshelves and reached
for a book hed never opened: a collection of
fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm.
I decided to read the kids Faithful
Johannes, about two children who get their
heads cut off by their parentsthough I did
wonder if I could read it to second graders
without being fired, he recalls. As I read it to
them, I saw that some kids were becoming nervous, so I started telling some
jokes to make them laugh, and warning them when something bad was going
to happen. And when I finished reading, some of them who knew I was trying
to write a book came rushing up to me and said, You should make this into a
book.
He was baffled about how to tackle such a project, since, he says, it obviously already was a book, but a solution came to him a few weeks later. I
was halfway up the stairs to my apartment, he explains, and I suddenly
thought, I know how to do this, and with my jacket still on, I opened my computer and started to write that Grimm tale exactly as Id told it to the kids,
with the jokes and warnings to calm them down and heighten the tension.
The result was A Tale Dark & Grimm, published by Dutton in 2011, which
Gidwitz followed with In a Glass Grimmly the following year. Both received
numerous accolades and became New York Times bestsellers. The author
concludes the trilogy with The Grimm Conclusion, due in October with an
announced first printing of 100,000 copies. Im genuinely excited about this
book, says Gidwitz. I brought in a lot of themes from the first two books and
worked really hard to make it terrifyingly hilarious and fun to read, while
trying to address readers deeper psychological needs the way the original
Grimm fairy tales do.
Gidwitz will depart from the Grimm world in his next book project, about
which he is intentionally vague, noting, It might draw on the expertise of my
wife, who is a professor of medieval history, and on some of the insane folklore of the early Middle Ages. But I can definitely say that it will be with
Dutton.
The author is signing paperback copies of A Tale Dark and Grimm today,

Jason Mott
Best-Case Scenarios
A year ago, Jason Mott was working at a

Verizon wireless call centertalking to angry
New Yorkers for 40 hours a week. During four
years at Verizon, he wrote two volumes of
poetry, often writing at work. As he explains:
There becomes a pattern; there are only so
many kinds of angry people. He was also
revising pages for a manuscript that would be
plucked out of the slush pile by Michelle
Brower of Folio Literary Management and land
him a two-book deal with Harlequin Mira.
The best-case scenario has happened at
every step so far, Mott says. He comes to BEA
amid considerable buzz for his debut novel,
The Returned, which centers on an elderly
couple, Harold and Lucille Hargrave, whose
eight-year old son, Jacob, returns from the dead after nearly 50 years, not as
ghost or ghoul, but as his original self. A global phenomenon is taking place,
with thousands of Returned reappearing. Chaos ensues as their numbers
grow. Sound cinematic? A television pilot for ABCproduced by Brad Pitts
Plan B entertainment and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, written by The
Killings Aaron Zelman, and directed by Emmy Awardwinner Charles
McDougall (The Good Wife)has already been filmed. If the pilot is picked
up, both the show and the book launch in September.
W E E K LY
Its been full-speed ahead, with a very steep learning curve, Mott says,
thankful to Brower and the Harlequin Mira team for their guidance. This is
what Ive wanted to do since I was 14. So few people are able to write fulltime. I feel very privileged. Writing became more than a hobby after his
mothers death in July 2001. At that point, the then 22-year-old Mott was
working at a facility making rubber gaskets. I had an opportunity to visit her
the day before she died, and didnt do it, because I still thought shed be
okay, he says. That still bothers me to this day.
He cites John Gardners October Light, Jose Saramagos Blindness, and
growing up in North Carolinas hurricane alley as inspiration for the novel,
but the real origins are personal: In July 2010, I had a dream that I came
home from work and my mom was sitting at the kitchen table. We talked
about everything that had happened since she passed. That dream drove the
novelto have that person back and have a moment to clear the air. If
readers can find meaning and catharsis from the book, thats fine with me.
Mott signs ARCs of The Returned today, 1011 a.m., at the Harlequin booth
(1238). On Saturday, 1011 a.m., he will appear on the panel Water Cooler

I like it if theres an engaging series

of events and a change in the
characters. Nancy Horan
womanself-made, pre-feminist, she explains.

Horan began an exploration of an amazing pair of people. The
relationship spanned two decades and three continents, and left plenty of
material. Stevenson alone, eight volumes of letters! she says, laughing. But
Horans careful process (the book was five years in the making) relies on the
historical context the documents provide.
Thats what really draws me to a story. I like it if theres an engaging series
of events and a change in the characters. I begin by doing research, but it
continues all the way through, and its absolutely the case with this story. I
know where its going, I have a general idea of what they were doing in a
given year and what their lives were like, but during that process theres so
much to read and so much to learn. It doesnt all find a place (Chapters will
bite the dust, she says pragmatically), but the background enriches the
whole process.
Horan is no stranger to reconstructing historical figures; her 2007
blockbuster debut, Loving Frank, took Frank Lloyd Wrights mistress,
Mamah Borthwick Cheney, from historical footnote to heroine of a novel
about identity and the public eye. That approach brought Osbournes voice
to the fore in Under the Wide and Starry Sky. Though their stories differ,
Horan sees both women in conversation within the genre of historical fiction.
You find they were up against challenges that we dont necessarily face any
more. In particular, The issue of divorce was alive for both of those women,
and a very hard obstacle to overcome.
Despite being well-regarded among his contemporaries, Stevensons
writing fell out of favor in the 20th century. However, hes enjoying a critical
renaissance, and Horan hopes that readers might come back to Stevensons
work with a new eye.
But historical and literary significance aside, she considers the novel a
personal journey. I hope that people are as engaged and captivated by
these people as I was, she says, with the passion and familiarity one assigns
to old friends.
Horan signs today at 11 a.m. at the Random House booth (2739).

A Visit to Rivington with Lady Gaga
In Rivington Was Ours: Lady Gaga, the Lower East Side, and the Prime of
Our Lives (It Books, Sept.), Brendan Jay Sullivan, also known to his clubbing
fans as DJ VH1, recalls the recent heyday of one of New York Citys hippest
neighborhoods, where aspiring writers, latter-day hair metal
acolytes, and wannabe pop stars dated one another, drank till
the sun came up, and dreamed of making it big. One of
themStefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, aka Lady
Gagamade it bigger than big, and Sullivan was there by
her side to watch it happen.
Sullivan signs today at Table 15 in the
Autographing Area, 22:30 p.m.
Could Lady Gaga have come into her
own anywhere other than on the
Lower East Side?

that. There were venues

promised to bring
people, they would let
you do whatever you
wanted. She

of your life you are divisible by yourself and oneyoull meet that one and
when theyre gone youll feel destroyed. Its the feeling behind every single
love song. Its a feeling that you grow with. Im told it comes back when you
see your first child born. Maybe thats next for us.
You mention early on that youd often rise early and write stories. How is
the process of writing a work of nonfiction different from writing fiction?
Aw, man, I find this kind of embarrassing, but for the past 10 years I have
written a thousand words every morning. Its the reason I started working
in nightlifeI wanted mornings to write. Stories and plays, but also seven
novel-length manuscripts. My basement is a fire hazard of failure. After
work, sort of for sketch practice, I would come home and write about my
daywhat a room looked like, where I ran into this person or that, how
these two people know each other, the cute old man at the bank. Never with
the constraints or structure Id imposed on fiction work. Always freer,
never watching the word count, etc. Plus Ive been writing about bands for
magazines all along. Rivington is the turducken of all my labors.
Did you let people profiled in the book see drafts while it was being
written?
Yes and no. Theres a hazard in sharing unfinished work. I had written a
chapter about being very much in love with someone and sent it to her,
maybe five years after wed broken up. She wrote back, Thats really
beautiful, we really were in love. Which was all Id ever wanted to hear.
Then I realized that chapter didnt take place in New York, so I had to cut it.
Which New York City neighborhoods are incubating the next big stars?
You know how they say that there are more people alive today than have
ever lived? I think there are more great things going on in New York than
ever before. The next big star is already out there, singing an acoustic cover
of the new Daft Punk song and trying to figure it out. But there will never be

Eric Lindner
The Road SeldomTaken

On the surface, Eric Lindner seems an
unlikely hospice volunteer. Hes a highpowered lawyer and former top executive
with Colonial Parking, one of the worlds
largest privately held parking companies. But
Lindner always knew I wanted to be in the
trenches of a nonprofit. Id looked at a number
of things, but nothing seemed to fit.
One day in 2009, walking to buy coffee and a
muffin, he passed a tiny hospice. Id lived in
Warrenton, Va., for 20 years and never knew it
existed. Something compelled me to go in and
ask what it was all about. On his first visit as a
volunteer, he met Bob Zimmerman. He had
cancer and Alzheimers, but he spoke six
languages and had served in the Peace Corps
in Vietnam in the early days of the war. I was floored and humbled and
knew I had to do this.
Hospice Voices: Lessons for Living at the End of Life (Sept.) documents
Lindners years as a volunteer at that tiny hospice and the extraordinary
people he met. Theres Little One, a Mono Indian, who educates her
granddaughter via an epistle she dictates from her La-Z-Boy recliner; a
sharpshooting, turnip-growing, mink-trapping Marine; an alcoholic
cowboy and his pistol-packing daughter; a former buttonhole seamstress
from Brooklyn; and the gardener for the worlds richest man.
Lindner admits, Before each visit, Ill often mutter about being too busy
or not wanting to go, but after each visit, Im rejuvenated with spiked levels
of intensity, consciousness, and happiness. I think people hesitate to
volunteer because theyre afraid of messing up or think they lack skills. Yet
all thats required of volunteers is their authentic presencesomething
hard to find in the age of 10,000 Facebook friends.
Once the idea of a book had taken root, Lindner was determined it
wouldnt interfere with my volunteer time and that I would chronicle as a
friend, not as a clinician or journalist. And hes equally determined to
give credit to Rowman & Littlefield editor Suzanne Staszak-Silva and
writing guru Alexandra Shelley for taking a rough bundle of ideas and
having patience and talent to work with someone who lacks both.
Lindner, who is donating 100% of the books profits to hospice patients,
families, and charities, will be at the Rowman & Littlefield booth (1125)

New York Citys history is seldom

a historic lensand the Yankees
fit the purpose nicely. In The 50
Greatest Players in New York
Yankees History (Taylor Trade,
June), Robert W. Cohen casts the
glow of pinstripes over the citys
modern history. Yankees players,
on possibly the worlds most recognizable sports organizations,
may seem beyond ranking. Cohen
does it, though, in his judging metric: a mix of career success, statistics, competitiveness of era, and
(most importantly) level of domination. There are plenty of choices
ripe for discussion, unsurprising
considering the title of Cohens
previous book: The Lean Years of
the Yankees, 19651975. Names
like Mel Stottlemyre and Bobby
Murcer will either spark debate
or befuddlea litmus test for the
diehard or the layman. Baseball
enthusiasts will enjoy explanations of each era and recreations
of the players historic moments.

Redhooks Big Catch

Hachettes new commercial fiction imprint, Redhook, will
be making its BEA debut this year, with four debut novels
and a much talked about new marketing philosophy.
Our goal for Redhook, says publisher Tim Holman, is to
publish great books were passionate about, and to make
every one of them stand out. Well be publishing a wide range
of fiction, in different genres, but every book will have one
thing in common: it will be written by an author we believe
has genuine bestseller potential. And because we want every
book to get the attention it deserves, well be publishing only
one author every month. By concentrating on a single title
each month, Holman believes the imprint will be able to craft
very focused marketing and publicity campaigns.
Redhooks initial title, out in April, was Robert Lyndons
Hawk Quest, an epic historical novel set in Norman England.
It proved an auspicious beginning for the new imprint, with
Library Journal and Booklist each giving it a starred review.
Hawk Quest, says Holman, is epic in every sense. It might
not be the easiest book to pick up [its 672 pages], but its
impossible to put down. Gavin Extences The Universe Versus
Alex Woods (June) is a quirky coming-of-age story about a
young boy hit on the head by a meteor, marking him for an
Redhooks second
extraordinary future. It made one of our sales directors
and third books.
laugh and cry on his way to work, reports Holman, and in
the U.K., its been selected for Waterstones 11, the most promising fiction
debuts of the year.
Saskia Sarginsons The Twins (Aug.) is described by Holman as an emotionally
charged story about two sisters whose lives have followed very different
paths. Septembers title, Eloise, is written by the well-known U.K. television
host, Judy Finnigan, whose Richard and Judys Book Club creates instant
bestsellers much as Oprahs Book Club does in the U.S. Its the story of a
woman who sees her dead friends ghost and is convinced her friend has a
message to send back to the living.
In the spirit of Redhooks one book per month strategy, each day at the
Hachette booth (1929, 1828) will highlight a different Redhook title. Today
the giveaway is ARCs of The Twins. On Friday, attendees can pick up digital
galleys of Eloise, and on Saturday, ARCs of The Universe Versus Alex Woods.

Livradas E-book Delivery Platform
SAM
E B AG , SIDE T WO
!
Corporate and event giving of books, pre-pub sales, and book promotions have
now officially entered the 21st century. Livrada, a Pasadena, Calif., startup
attending BEA for the second time, is expanding beyond selling e-book cards (a
physical gift card sold at Target stores and other retailers that can be exchanged
for an e-book) to mass mailings of e-books themselves across various platforms.
Livrada Volume E-Book Delivery, which is being officially introduced to the
industry at BEA, is, according to Livrada marketing and public relations
manager Phoebe Lai, reader friendly as well as convenient for publishers:
each reader included in a mass mailing can choose to receive his or her e-book
via a preferred platformKindle, Google Play, Nook, or Kobo. The e-book is
delivered wirelessly to everybody in the group via their selected platform
within 10 minutes, except for Kindle e-books, which take up to two hours.
Previously, ordering or receiving e-books was an individual transaction, Lai
points out. Now theres a way to get books to thousands of people all at once. We
can do it small or large-scale. Were serving not just the publisher but also
readersthey dont have to download an app.
Not only has Livrada already sent TED Books to audiences during their
author presentations, but upon Random Houses recommendation,
SurveyMonkey partnered with Livrada to send both hard and digital copies of
Sheryl Sandbergs Lean In to a couple hundred SurveyMonkey employees
around the world on the books March 11 laydown date.
More recently, Stanford University and Trident Capital partnered with Livrada
to begin sending digital copies of Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohens New Digital
Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business to 1,850 Stanford
University students, faculty, and staff upon the books publication date.
Targeted e-book recipients are provided with a PIN code and directed to
redeem their e-books on a Livrada-hosted landing page. The number of
downloads can be capped or restricted to a specific e-mail list or domain name.
Livrada even provides for any intended recipients who dont own an e-book
reader: the company will ship them the book in print format, preferably
hardcover.

After all, were an end-to-end service, Lai says.
Loss of Innocence is the compelling account of a familys collapse amid multiple betrayals in the
bloody year 1968. The book moves at high velocity, is grandly plotted with a crescendo of an ending.

China Threat? The Challenges, Myths and Realities of Chinas Rise

Dr. Lionel Vairon
9781627740005 Hardcover 69 240pp $24.95 July 2013
Each week brings a new round of critique and denunciation of the risks China poses to the stability of the entire planet. While critics raise a certain number
of fundamental questions that bear asking about this nascent superpower, the answers we get are usually based on ideological or economic considerations.
Lionel Vairon systematically challenges these views in China Threat?
With an incisive review of Chinas economic strategy, deployment of resources, national defence, political reform, and more, Vairon amply demonstrates that
China poses no threat to the world. On the contrary, China Threat? shows that Chinas peaceful rise should be a matter of positive news across the globe.

Mar Jennings, a lifestyle expert, television personality, and interior designer,

has come to BEA to promote Life on
Mars: Creating Casual Luxury from
Room to Room (S&J Multimedia, Sept.),
the latest in his Life on Mars series, but
hed also like to give BEA exhibitors
some sMARt tips regarding booth
design. You have to get people out of the
traffic zone and draw them in, he says.
While in Life on Mars, Jennings
emphasizes six principles in solving
Jennings offers many solutions to design
design dilemmas, he thinks that five
dilemmas.
principles will work at BEA: make the
booth interesting to look at; make it an inviting space that has something
to entice and draw in passersby; provide a seating area for conversation;
spring for great lighting; and make it technology-driven, preferably
paperlessalthough he concedes that its okay to include books, since this
is a booksellers convention. For instance, marketing materials can be
shown and then simply e-mailed to customers, he argues. You want to
engage prospective buyers. Once youve engaged prospective buyers,
youre 50% there.
But a successful show is not just about the booths physical trappings,
Jennings points out: It all starts with attitude and a smile. Exhibitors are
performers who should overdress, not underdress and should welcome
visitors throughout the day into their booths with as much professionalism, enthusiasm, and energy at 5 p.m. as they displayed at 9 a.m. Put your
people on rotations to make sure you are playing your A-game from start
to finish, he emphasizes. The trade show is not the time or place to put
your junior people, to train them. Its not a dress rehearsal.
Jennings will appear daily at the S&J Multimedia/Midpoint Trade
booths (14261427) to meet and greet visitors, sign autographs for fans, and
answer any of your questions about design dilemmas. No matter what
style you have, my six principles will guarantee success in your space,
large or small, he says. Casual luxury is attainable to anyone.

Read the Movie
Best known for beautiful art books, Thames & Hudson this year expands its
definition of visual culture with a big title that celebrates the moving image.
And while Moments That Made the Movies, the first illustrated book from
renowned film writer David Thomson, is out in October, BEA-goers can get
a sneak preview at the publishers booth (1920) at BEA.
Reading David is like being at dinner with a really opinionated, smart,
fun film fan, says Thames & Hudson publisher Will Balliett. He decided to
collaborate with the New Republic criticwho
also regularly contributes to the New York Times,
the Guardian, and Film Comment, et al.in
hopes of finding a way to complement Thomsons
highly regarded history of film The Big Screen
(Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Oct. 2012). Moments
is a visual tour, winding through 70 films, each of
which is portrayed through the lens of a specific
instancea momentthat defines the moviegoers experience. But unlike the authors classic
Biographical Dictionary of Film (Knopf), now in
its fifth edition, Moments neither aims to be com- The book offers a visual tour
prehensive nor suggests that the 70 movies in its through 70 films.
pages represent the greatest moments in film.
In that way, its an elevated bar argument book, says Balliett. Everyone
has their own idea of what should be featured. While Thomson reflects on
several undisputed classics (Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind, The Godfather, among others), equal weight is given to such unexpected works as The
Piano Teacher and Burn After Reading. Says Balliett: His take on films is
always surprising.
Its an approach thats inspired a raffle for BEA visitors who stop by the
Thames & Hudson booth: the winner will take home 10 DVDs of movies
highlighted in Moments. The prize is a perfect companion to the book, says
Balliett: Reading it makes you want to go back and see all the films again.

A Year of Free E-books

Canadian publisher ECW, celebrating the first anniversary of its free
e-book initiative, is promoting the
program at its booth (2527) by distributing postcard handouts it hopes
will make more booksellers aware
of its innovative offer.
ECWwhich originally stood for
Essays on Canadian Writing (a literary journal), and now represents a
range of entertainment, culture, and
writingwas founded in 1974 and
has about 900 titles in print. Each is
available in digital form, and ECW
offers them in both ePub and PDF
formats . The free e-book program
begins when a customer purchases
a print copy of an ECW book,
whether through an indie or on
ECWs Web site, with a promotional
sticker on the back cover. The customer can then send an e-mail to the
press stating the title of the book and
what type of digital file is preferred.
An ECW staffer replies by attaching

the requested file at no charge.
Weve given away over 1,500
e-books to date, says Alexis Van
Straten, marketing coordinator at
the Toronto company. The program
has given us the opportunity to connect with our customers in a completely unprecedented way. The
initiative has not interfered with the
companys usual e-book sales. ECW
has had a 63% increase in e-book
purchases in the past year.
ECWs co-publisher David Caron
believes that the success of his press
is measured in the relationships it
has with its retail partners. We
want to make them feel secure that
we will support their promotion of
our print books by including a free
e-version with that print sale, and
also develop a better relationship
with our customers, through direct
contact and service. Wendy Werris

Medical Witnesses
To 11/22/1963
A witness to history, Dr. Allen
Childs was at Parkland Memorial
Hospital on November 22, 1963,
when the mortally wounded President John F. Kennedy was rushed
into the emergency room. Much
has been written about the assassination in Dallas that ended Americas Camelot, and Childs offers
yet another perspective timed for
the 50th anniversary later this year.
We Were There: Revelations from
the Dallas Doctors and Nurses Who
Attended to JFK on November 22, 1963
(Skyhorse, Nov.) is a compilation of
more than 45 eyewitness accounts
immediately following the shooting.
A medical student at the time, Childs
tells Show Daily. I was one floor
above the ER awaiting a pathology
exam. Suddenly urgent staccato
pages over the loudspeakers split
the silence ordering all department
heads to the ER. As surgeons
rushed to Trauma Room One, Childs
was directed to a loading dock
where, he says, 150 anguished staff,
patients, and medical students
waited for news. After the presidents
death was confirmed, A wave of

grief hit me so hard that it has never
left me.
The book started as a private
collection of memories and became
a more ambitious project once the
historical value of the material was
determined, says Childs. I wanted
readers to feel the authenticity of
the doctors and the heroic efforts
they made to save [the president]
when it was obvious there would be
no saving himbut they tried
everything.
Firsthand accounts cover not
only the presidents grave condition
but First Lady Jackie Kennedy, who
insisted on being admitted into
Trauma Room One with her
husband, and the death of accused
assassin Lee Harvey Oswald 48
hours later in the same hospital.
Skyhorse editorial director Jay
Cassell stresses that We Were There
does not offer anything definitive
regarding how many shots were
fired and from where, but he does
say, It is clear that a proper
forensic autopsy was never

$9.8 million. Acts of Congress 1789:
Includes the Constitution and Bill
of Rights (Oct.), which will retail at

U.S. Constitution, the proposed Bill
of Rights, and other legislative acts
adopted by that first Congress of
our fledgling nation, which met
first in New York City and then in
Philadelphia between March 4,
1789, and March 4, 1791. Acts of
Congress is almost an exact replica
of the original publication, owned
by George Washington himself,
from the leather-bound binding
and the 18th-century typeface to
notes scribbled by Washington in
the margins.
He didnt usually write in books
at all, Kathy Hilliard, Andrews
McMeels publicity director, says.
He usually wrote on loose notepaper.
Andrews McMeel is producing
Acts of Congress 1789 in partnership with the Mount Vernon Ladies
Association, the organization that
came up with the $9.8 million to buy

the book, which was in the
Washington familys possession
until 1876. Its publication this fall
coincides with the opening of the
Fred W. Smith National Library for
the Study of George Washington,

opening at Mount Vernon. The
original is touring presidential
libraries around the country before
returning to its first owners home
at Mount Vernon, when the
National Library opens and Acts of

First Second Debuts Paul Pope

First Second, Macmillans graphic
novel imprint, spotlights its new
middle-grade graphic novel, Battling
Boy (Oct.) by comics superstar Paul
Pope. According to marketing director Gina Gagliano, First Second is
using Popes BEA attendance to
introduce him to teachers, librarians, and booksellers. Battling Boy
is Popes first book with a trade publisher, as well as his first book for a
younger audience. Without giving
specific print numbers, First
Seconds editorial director Mark
Siegel says its bigger than our

usual run.
But partnering with First Second
and Macmillan offers Pope an
opportunity to broaden his audience.
Having come from different trajectories in comics, self-publishing,
doing work for Marvel and DC:
working overseas in both Europe
and Japan, every time its a different thing, and I can feel Macmillan
really getting behind this, making
an effort to get this out to a larger

tions with this book.

According to
Siegel, Popes work is
a bridge stylistically
between the great
schools of comics,
spanning the whole
universe of comics
from manga to
European to
American superhero
comics. Gagliano
adds, Those are great
things to use as talking points with booksellers and
librarians as well, because everyone knows superheroes and everyone knows manga. Pauls work is a
fusion of both.
Pope cites the films by acclaimed
Japanese anime director Miyazaki
as a big influence in this book for
lighting up his color palate, and the
French cartoonist Moebius for opening up his page layouts to create a
more accessible style as compared
to the dark and urban and gritty
and lots of black shadows that are
typical of his previous work.
Battling Boy is a classic comingof-age story, says Pope, but a little
more informed for the 21st century,
so its aware of films like Dark Knight
and Iron Man and Lord of the Rings.
The main character is a 12-year-old
superhero, who must clean up all
the monsters on a planet and rescue the inhabitants. Integrated into
the superhero story are themes of
adolescence that Pope hopes will
speak to a younger audience about
the awkward stage of life they find
themselves in. Pope speaks of the
lack of control he remembers as an
adolescent and how this informs his
character in Battling Boy. Popes
need to create a young superhero
was driven by the realization that
there were no superhero comics for
his teenage nephews. I really
wanted to do something original
that my nephews would like to
read, Pope says. This book is sort
of dedicated to them and the kind
of love I felt for comic books as a kid
reading X-Men and Love and Rockets.
Pope is currently working on the
second and final volume of Battling
Boy, which is slated to come out next
October, a year after the first volume.
Also, First Second will publish THB,
a series that has achieved almost
cult status among Popes fans, as a
young adult book. THB is a science
fiction parody, Pope says. Its kind
of a brother-sister project with
Battling Boy. Its another comingof-age story with a teenage girl and
the story is set in the future on Mars.
Today, Pope signs galleys in the
Autograph Area at Table 15; tomorrow, he will sign galleys at Macmillans booth (1557). There will also
be a Battling Boy T-shirt given away
at the Friday signing. And Pope
appears today on a panel at 4 p.m. at
the Uptown Stage, about the graphic
novel format spanning ages, genres,
and categories.

wanted to be removed from the
story. But it occurred to me early
on that the story was almost too
unbelievable to be fiction: the girl
from upstate New York moves to
the big city, marries a prince, and
then has this great life thats cut
short by his cancer, and the deaths
three weeks before of her best
friend [Carolyn Bessette Kennedy]
and my husbands cousin [John F.
Kennedy Jr.]. Whos going to believe
that?
So she wrote her memoir, which,
with her background in telling non-
fiction stories, was not as formidable to write as she thought it might

be. But when she turned to fiction
she was surprised. Writing a novel,
for me at least, was a thousand
times harder than the memoir. The
only barrier you have is your imagination, which is great on the one
hand, but its really daunting on the
other.
No doubt, Radziwill is banking on
her television career on Bravo to
influence book sales. I cant deny
the power of the show to move
product. I mentioned What
Remains twice on the show. It was
in my introduction, where I said I
wrote a New York Times bestseller
85
about my family. And one of the

other housewives had read it, so we
talked about it a little and that was
it. During the course of the four
months that the show was on the
air, an additional 47,000 copies
were sold and it went back on the
Times bestseller list for e-books.
This is the authors first BEA
appearance, and she will be part of
a panel discussion today, 24 p.m.,

the former husband of Lee Bouvier
Radziwill, the younger sister of
Jacqueline Kennedy, was Polish
Prince Stanislaw Radziwill. But
Carole Radziwill (nee Di Falco),
who in 2005 chronicled her tragically short-lived marriage to Prince
Anthony Radziwill (son of Lee and
Stanislaw) in her memoir, What
Remains, was never impressed by
that sort of thing.
The journalist, from a workingclass family in upstate New York,
became an award-winning ABC
news producer, then a columnist
for Glamour magazine, and, not
incidentally, will be starring in her
second season of Bravo TVs Real
Housewives of New York. She has
just written her first novel, The
Widows Guide to Sex and Dating
(Henry Holt, Brilliance Audiobook,
both Sept.), a hilarious account of a
young widows journey to find herself and re-establish her identity
after living in the shadow of her
husband, a world-famous writer
and sexologist.
Radziwill tells Show Daily that
several years after her husband
died she was regaling friends at a
dinner party in the Hamptons
about some firsthand dating horrors: Christiane Amanpour, an old
friend, was laughing with everyone
about the stories. She said, You
should write these down. Maybe
one day this will be a book for you. I

A Toast to PWs
21 Booksellers
Of the Year
At this mornings Book and Author
Breakfast, Publishers Weeklys coeditorial director Jim Milliot presents Square Books in Oxford, Miss.,
with the magazines annual Bookstore of the Year award, a tradition
started 21 years ago. PW wanted to
find a way to honor booksellers who
show how books can be sold and
marketed without compromising
the things most booksellers cherish: the written word, good writing,
beautiful books.
Author Richard Ford with this years winner

Richard Howorth.
From the start, the stores

selected for the PW Bookstore of
the Year Award have tried to create
new bookselling models or tweak
existing ones. The first winner, in
1993, Nicklebys Bookstore Cafe in
Columbus, Ohio, fused books and
food to create an entertainment
business. Although the store faltered after one partner moved on,
Nicklebys was one of only two winners that have since closed. The
other, Harry W. Schwartz
Bookshops, 2004s winner, in
Milwaukee, Wis., arguably lives on
in both Boswell Book Company,
founded by longtime Schwartz
buyer Daniel Goldin in a former
Schwartz location, and in 800-CEOReads, which spun off from the
store. Together the PW booksellers
have done far better than most general independents over the past
two decades and have survived
both the chain age and the
onslaught of Amazon.
Record Breakers
Typical of award winners are successful transitions like the sale of
Politics & Prose Bookstore (winner
in 1999) to Bradley Graham and
Lissa Muscatine two years ago or
the upcoming passing of the baton
by Roberta Rubin, longtime owner
of the Book Stall at Chestnut Court
(2012) in Winnetka, Ill., to Stephanie
Hochschild on July 1. What I love is
hearing people say, Im so happy
youve found somebody. We dont

want to see [the bookstore] go
away, says Rubin. The Book Stalls
in no danger of that. Rubins seen
strong sales in the wake of the 2008
economic downturn. Five years
ago, bookstores were all in trouble,
she says. Now stores are coming
back. We had our best year ever last
year. So far, were ahead this year
about 3%. I attribute it to people
returning to the book and shopping
local. Its a good time for independent booksellers.
Shes not the only one to see
record-breaking numbers. The
same holds true for BookPeople
(2005) in Austin, Tex., which,
according to owner and American
Booksellers Association incoming
president Steve Bercu, is poised to
have its best year ever in 2013for
the fourth year in a row. I think
theres a fairly strong resurgence of
independents, says Bercu. One
reason is Borders going away and
all that shelf space. The second is
localism. Everybody wants to be
part of local, and publishers realize
that they have to support physical
bookstores in ways that matter.
Plus, Bercu is constantly refining
what the store does and how it does
it: I operate on the principle that I
have basically the same customer
all the time to look at the same
stuff: the product mix and the merchandising.
Roberta Rubin, last years winner, passed the

baton to Stephanie Hochschild.
Bercu is one of several bookstore

award winners to head the ABA;
outgoing president Becky Anderson co-owns Andersons Bookshops
(2011) in Naperville, Ill. This years
winner, Square Books, is headed by
a past president and current board
member on the Tennessee Valley
Authority, Richard Howorth.

boast former ABA heads. Being

ABA members and active in the
ABA makes us smarter booksellers, says Cindy Dach, Changing
Hands general manager and coowner.
Reinvention
While some stores have successfully transitioned or are on the
marketQuail Ridge Books &
Music (2001), in Raleigh, N.C., and
R.J. Julia Booksellers (1995), in
Madison, Conn., are both for sale
others are in the midst of expanding or redefining themselves. Some
are doing both. Keplers Books &
Magazines (1994) in Menlo Park,
Calif., recently transitioned to
hybrid ownership under Praveen
Madan and Christin Evans, who
also own Booksmith in San Francisco. In addition to being a forprofit bookstore, Keplers now has a
nonprofit events arm.
Across the country in Manchester Center, Vt., Northshire Bookstore has long been in the forefront
of change. It was the first trade
bookstore in North America to offer
print-on-demand via an Espresso
Book Machine and one of the first to
sell trade books on consignment.
After 37 years the store is about to
add a second location at the end of
Changing Hands owners (l. to r.) Gayle

Shanks, Bob Sommer, and Cindy Dachs.
July, Northshire Bookstore in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. I would not be

opening a second store just to open
a second store, says general manager and co-owner Chris Morrow.
When Borders went under, customers started writing to me. They
also helped him raise funds for the
new store using a financial version
of a CSA, or CSE (community supported enterprise), which can be
converted from debt to equity.
Changing Hands is expanding in
November into nearby Phoenix
through an unusual financing
W E E K LY
model of its own. The store is part of

an ownership team that includes
the 17,000-sq.-ft. buildings architect and another tenant, Becketts
Table. At the new space Changing
Hands will offer beer and wine at its
First Draft bar in addition to books.
In order to bringing the Tempe
stores culture to the new location,
co-owner Cindy Dach says that she
and a set of managers will manage
both stores for the first one or two
years. The stores are about 30 minutes apart.
Although Harvard Book Store
(2002) in Cambridge, Mass., hasnt
found a second location yet, the
store had two outlets for many
years: its flagship store across from
Harvard University and a bookstore cafe on Newbury Street in
Boston. Owner Jeff Mayersohn,
who bought the bookstore five
years ago, has looked at several
Cambridge locations that would
enable him to capitalize on the success of Harvards twice yearly open
warehouse sales. Our warehouse
sale has sort of gone viral with huge
year-over-year increases, he says.
Another approach hes considering
is opening the warehouse more frequently to the public.
After Joseph-Beth Booksellers,
headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio,
emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection two years ago

with fewer stores and a new owner,
it came back determined to grow by
reinvesting. For president and CEO
Mark Wilson, that meant renovating the bistros as well as the book
sections, starting with the Lexington, Ky., store. A similar change in
Cincinnati has made Wilson realize
[the bistro] is more than a complement to the bookstore. Its a key
experience. In addition, JosephBeth just moved its offices to a
building with a larger warehouse,
so that it can lower its costs by distributing books to the stores centrally rather than direct shipments
from publishers. Its also in the
midst of testing its first portable
pop-up at a grocery in Cincinnati.
For us, its all about engaging with
the community, says Wilson.
Whats Next
Redefining is good, but sometimes
a radical transformation isnt necessary or even desirable. Were the
curators for the vision thats been
here since the beginning, says
buyer Paul Yamazaki, who has
been with City Lights Books (2010),
in San Francisco, for more than 40

resilient. Two changes shed like to
see are a way for booksellers to get
access to venture capital for innovation and for independent booksellers to become Goodreads collectively. Theres a lot of wisdom in
the stores that are left, a lot of
smart business sense, she says.
So much has changed, notes
Donna Paz Kaufman of Paz & Associates, who has coordinated the
bookseller awards for two decades.
Its time to keep developing the
bookstore concept, because its
clear people still want a community

challenge. And PW will continue to
single out those that do.

Taschens Big Book

Its not a stretch that art, architecture, and design publisher Taschen
(booth 1720) has had a special booth
and signage created to highlight its
show special, Genesis, the new photography book by Brazilian photographer Sebastio Salgado. One of
the worlds most revered photojournalists, Salgado has worked
with the photo agencies Sygma,
Gamma, and Magnum Photos.
A portfolio of large-format
images, Genesis is the result of
Salgados eight-year expedition to
parts of the world still untainted by
modern civilization; in it, his black
and white photographs depict the
mountains, deserts, oceans, animals, and peoples that he encountered. He completed his travels a
year and a half ago, and the book
was published this past April, concurrent with an exhibit of the photos opening at the Natural History
Museum in London.
The book is available in two hardcover editions. Theres the
10-in.14in., 520-page trade edition retailing for $70, but that ones
dwarfed by the 704-page, $3,000 collectors edition. Limited to 2,500
copies, it comes with a special wood
and leather book stand

designed by Japanese
architect Tadao Ando,
the only living person to
have won architectures
four most prestigious
prizes. Andos simple
design consists of two
pieces of wood, bound
with leather, into which
a third piece of wood is
slotted to form a sturdy
yet elegant stand. And a
good thing, as Taschens
catalogue refers to this
edition as sumo size,
weighing in at 130
pounds and measuring
about 18 inches by 28
inches. Visitors to the
booth can view both the
trade edition and a
sample of the collectors
edition.

Mexico, the New Frontier for Libros

With Mexico as the honored country at BookExpo America, organizations such as Conaculta, Caniem,
Planeta, Fondo de Cultura
Econmica, Sexto Piso, and many
others can be seen and heard
throughout the halls of the Javits
Center and as part of BEAs Global
Market Forum 2013.
Authors, publishers, and agents
from Mexico have been doing business in the U.S. for quite some time,
but few U.S. publishers have ventured south of the border. Mexicos
participation at BEA hopes to
change that. With a population of
about 117 million and a book market worth $830 million in 2011, the
industry has grown 2.7% in volume
and 13.2% in sales since 2010.
Mexico, the 13th-largest economy
of the world (its GDP grew 5.5% in
2010), occupies a significant position among todays emerging economies, and remains a privileged
trading partner of the U.S. through
NAFTA.
Mexico sports a lively and active
publishing scene across many categoriesin fiction, nonfiction, childrens, and graphic novels.
Mexican publishers in recent years

have started to supplant the dominance of publishers from Spain.
FIL, the International Book Fair of
Mexico, has surpassed the book
fairs in Spain and Argentina and is
now the largest Spanish-language
book fair in the world, and the second-largest book fair after
Frankfurt.
With the participation of 38 publishers from Mexico and in partnership with the Mexican governments
National Council for Culture and
the Arts (Conaculta), as well as with
Caniem, the Mexican Chamber of
the Publishing Industry, the presence of Mexico is being felt at the
Javits Center and throughout New
York City. A diverse professional
program was featured yesterday,
highlighting the various business
opportunities available on both
sides of the border.

opened yesterday
with a panel discussion that offered an
overview of the

industry and featured
conversations among independent
publishers from the U.S. and
Mexico as well as a presentation by
childrens book publishers.
Opportunities dominated the conversation surrounding the sale of
books in Spanish in the U.S. and
books in English into Mexico.
E-books, distribution, and printing
problems in both markets were discussed, and the hope is that opening a dialogue will
lead to solutions. As

both ends if not such a setting?
In Mexico, the government
strongly promotes and fosters educational publishing through ventures such as the publishing superpower Fondo de Cultura
Econmica (established in 1934)
and publications by Conaculta. The
government also assists small and
mid-size independent publishers
and has an ambitious plan for
e-books. Enrique Pea Nieto, the

set an ambitious goal: to have all of
the books published
by the government
available in a digital
format by the time he

industry will come

Chef Dining Recommendations

Some of todays biggest cookbook
authors recommend their favorite
New York City restaurants.
Einat Admony, chef/owner of Balaboosta and Taim, Balaboosta: Bold
Mediterranean Recipes to Feed the
People You Love (Artisan, Sept.)
For casual fast food in Soho, I recommend the Hampton Chutney Co.
(66 Prince St.; 212-226-9996); it has
the best dosas by far. Go to Cafe
Mogador (101 St. Marks Pl.; 212-6772226) in the East Village for a simple, delicious (and cheap!) Israeli
brunch. And if you want to shop for
special ingredients such as spices,
seeds, and grains, you must visit
Kalustyans (23 Lexington Ave.;
(212) 685-3451).
prefer to go to one of the finest restaurants in New York City and tell
them I am gluten-free. I have eaten
some of the most memorable meals
of my life at Gramercy Tavern (42 E.
20th St.; 212-477-0777). (And I go for
lunch, so I can afford it as a
splurge!) To eat safely, you simply
need to eat at a restaurant where
they understand great food.
Mark Bittman, VB6: Vegan Before
Six (Clarkson Potter, Apr.)
I recommend both Kajitsu (125 E.
39th St.; 212-228-4873) and Angelica
(300 E. 12th St.; 212-228-2909)the
best vegan restaurants in New York
Shauna Ahern, Gluten-Free Girl

Everyday (Wiley, Apr.)
I go to great restaurants where
they understand real food and
know what goes into their dishes.
There are some sweet little glutenfree restaurants in New York
CityRisotteria (270 Bleecker St.;
212-924-6664) and Lilli and Loo (792
Lexington Ave.; 212-421-7800), but I
City and completely different from

one another.
Giada De Laurentiis, Weeknights

with Giada (Clarkson Potter, 2012)
Balthazar (80 Spring St.; 212-9651414): chicken paillard with a side
of fries is the best thing ever; Feast
(102 Third Ave.; 212-529-8880): a
casual, hip spot, where the food is
farm to table and absolutely divine;
PizzaArte (69 W. 55th St.; 212-2473936): a hidden gem in midtown and
yummy Italian food; ABC Kitchen
(35 E. 18th St.; 212-475-5829): great
for Sunday brunch.
Scott Conant, The Scarpetta Cookbook: 125 Recipes from the

Acclaimed Restaurant (Houghton
Mifflin Harcourt; Oct. 2013)
Aldea (31 W. 17th St.; 212-6757223): George Mendess food is the
perfect balance of modern and
classic; the dining room is intimate
and fun; and watching him and his
team in the open kitchen is a great
joy.
Cheryl Jamison, coauthor with Bill
Jamison of 100 Grilling Recipes You
Cant Live Without (Harvard Common, May)
Bill and I eat barbecue in lots of
parts of the country, but hardly ever
in New York. Danny Meyers Blue
Smoke (116 E. 27th St.; 212-4477733) is about the only exception to
that. For a great grilled burger, we
love the one in the bar at Gramercy
Tavern (see Shauna Ahern, at left).
However, were much more likely
to go to David Changs very meatcentric Momofuku (163 First Ave.;
212-228-7293) or Momofuku Ssm
Bar (207 Second Ave.; 212-254-3500),
or for a bigger splurge on seafood,
to Eric Riperts Le Bernardin (155
W. 51st St.; 212-554-1515) or Michael
Whites Marea (240 Central Park
South; 212-582-5100). On the far

Spotted Pig (314 W. 11th St.; 212620-0393).
Mollie Katzen, The Heart of the
Plate: Vegetarian Recipes for a New
Generation (Houghton Mifflin
Harcourt, Sept.)
Al di La (248 Fifth Ave.; 718-7834565) in Brooklyn: it feels as though
youre eating in a friends cottage,
and that theyre preparing the
meal just for you. Very fresh, understated, purely delicious food; they
are not trying to impress nor to be

LEcole (462 Broadway; 212-2193300), the restaurant at the International Culinary Center (formerly
the French Culinary Institute). It
features modern French food and is
a great value for the price.
David Tanis, One Good Dish: The

Pleasures of a Simple Meal (Artisan,
Oct. )
Buvette (42 Grove St.; 212-2553590) is great for drinks and snacks
late into the night, and for an early
quiet lunch. Calliope (84 E. 4th St.),
one of New Yorks best-kept
secrets, serves really good, wellexecuted, simple French fare.
Michael Romano, Union Square

Hospitality Group chef, Family
Table (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt,
Apr.)
Kyo Ya (94 E. 7th St.; 212-9824140): Sono, the Japanese chef,
does amazing seasonal Japanese
meals.
Michael Ruhlman, Salumi (Norton;
2012) and The Book of Schmaltz
(Little, Brown, Aug.)
I have a special fondness for Bar-

Yall (Ten Speed; 2011)
I dont often patronize Southern
in New York City as I can get that at
home, but when I do I pay a visit to
Sarah Simmons over at City Grit (38
Prince St.; 646-580-5720)a culinary salon rather than a restaurant.
Sarah, who hails from North Carolina, often teams up with visiting
Southern chefs so they can showcase their talents in the city. Its
always offering great food and fun,
and often bourbon as well.
Katie Workman, The Mom 100
Cookbook (Workman, 2012)
I am a huge fan of sushi, so I recommend Japonica (100 University
Pl.; 212-243-7752). And with kids, I
really love Asian restaurants
because you avoid that terrible
moment where your kids are presented with the childrens menu,
and all hopes that they might order
something off the real menu goes
out the window. So, love that there
are no chicken nuggets to shoot
down, and in general Japanese and
other Asian food is well liked by
kids. Finally, Landmarc (179 W.
Broadway; 212-343-3883) has a great
kids menu, and it is in Tribeca and
also the Time Warner Center.

Oneworld Embraces Its World

Oneworld Publications is officially
introducing at BEA a new digital
imprint that literally creates a buzz:
Oneworld Expressothe British
publishers short story imprint. It
has just launched with 21 short stories by such authors as Joanne
Harris, Alaisdair Gray, A.L. Kennedy,
and Toby Litt.
Juliet Mabey, Oneworlds
cofounding publisher, says, Short
stories and novellas have traditionally been difficult to publish
and sell effectively. But with the
proliferation of new platforms for
e-reading, were keen to publish
a variety of short-form fiction for
smartphones, e-readers, and tablets.
Its a natural progression for
Oneworld, which was founded in
Oxford, England, more than 25
years ago to publish nonfiction
titles. In 2009, Oneworld expanded
into fiction and is building its list
from 10 novels each year to 20.
Oneworld, which has offices in
London and Manhattan, publishes
approximately 60 titles each year.
Moving into fiction, Mabey
explains, was done to build at the

intersection of the literary and the
commercial a list of strong narratives and emotionally engaging stories.
By all accounts, Oneworld didnt
waste any time to achieve its goal: A
Cupboard Full of Coats (2011),
Yvette Edwardss debut novel, was
longlisted for the 2011 Man Booker
Prize and for the 2012 International
IMPAC Dublin Literary Award.
Oneworld has high hopes as well
for its 2013 list, which includes two

Jennifer Pharr Davis
maureen robinson, dog works digital photography
In 2008, Jennifer Pharr Davis

claimed the womens world record
for hiking the Appalachian Trail.
She chronicled that journey in
2011s Becoming
Odyssa. That
same year, she
took to the trailhead again
this time with
her husbands
supportand
trekked all 2,181
miles of the
Appalachian in
a mere 46 days,
making her the fastest hiker
male or femaleever to take on
Americas most famous trail. In
Called Again: A Story of Love and
Triumph (Beaufort Books, June 10),
Davis meditates on the agonies and
healing power of lacing up, setting
out, and rediscovering natureand
oneself.
Davis signs today at the Midpoint
Trade booth (14261427), noon1 p.m.,
and tomorrow, 11:30noon, at
Table 11 in the Autographing Area.
And today, Davis and fellow hiking
expert Jeff Alt will be in the booth
offering hiking advice.
How was the trip detailed in this

book different from the one you
wrote about in Becoming Odyssa?
Becoming Odyssa is a coming-ofage story. Called Again is about
relationships. The trail is a wonderful metaphor for life, and its
allowed me to share stories of independence and the trials of teamwork. Called Again uses the lens of
the trail to convey stories of faith,
love, and friendship. In the end, the
book is less about setting the record
and more about becoming the person you are supposed to be.
What is a trail name, and how did
you come to be known as Odyssa?
A trail name is a nickname that you
take when hiking a long-distance
trail. I received mine because I am
a big dork. My first hike on the
Appalachian Trail took place when
I was just 21 years old, a recent college graduate. My senior thesis had
centered on Homers Odyssey, so
when I set foot on the trail I immediately began comparing my adventure to Odysseuss epic journey.
In what ways is hiking therapeutic?
Hiking provides time to think, pray,
and heal. We usually try to solve our
problems with quick fixesa few

hours of therapy or a couple of prescription pills. Im not knocking

modern medicine or therapy, but
the trail provides a different, more
holistic, type of healing. Sometimes
we need a break, we need to breathe,
and we need to feel connected to
something greater. The trail affords
that opportunity. Even setting a
world record on the trail felt relatively slow and simple compared to
the hectic pace of everyday life.
For those BEA-goers itching for the
outdoors after three days cooped
up inside Javits, do you have any
recommendations for good hikes in
or around New York City?
My mom grew up in New York City,
so we always love exploring Central

Park together and hiking or running around the reservoir. If you
are willing to venture outside the
city, you can pick up the
Appalachian Trail at Bear Mountain
State Park or at Pawling, N.Y. Bear
Mountain has something to please
everyone, as the trail travels
directly through a zoo and beside a
large lake and picnic area. The
path near Pawling features an awesome 250-year-old oak tree known
as the Dover Oak. Plus, if you dont
have a car, you can take a train to
Pawling. The trail travels right
beside the station.

stroke of luck landed
publisher Roseann Lentin a very nice location on

Random House gave up a booth,
she says. So I had Ingram on one
side and Random House on the
other. As a result, Turn the Page
had more than 400 booth visitors.
This year, although still a newbie,
the company plans to publish 16
titles. Today and tomorrow, visitors to the booth

will be able to meet 14
authors and illustrators,
part of Lentins plan to get
booksellers and librarians to schedule author
events. Visitors can also

noon and 24 p.m., in honor of the
September release of Bruce Springsteen in Focus, 19802012 by Daily

Before launching Turn the Page,

Lentin had a successful 25-year
career in law firm management.
Surrounded by lawyers, she
learned the craft of editing and
fine-tuning the written word: I
think lawyers are the best writers
on earth. And I understand why:
they have to be creative and exactly
on point when they write their documents. And they work under pressure.
She points out that back in 2008,
law firms were cutting back on
associate salaries and staffing, and
I kept telling my managers to have
a contingency plan in case I was
asked to eliminate their jobs. Then
I thought, what is my contingency
plan? So I launched the company
and published my novel, Once
Beneath the Stars [2011]. Authors
came to her by referral, and suddenly a publishing house was born.
Her second novel, The Whispering
Hush, releases in October.
Baby boomers are one of her main
audiences, Lentin notes, adding, I
have five men over the age of 60
publishing their first novels, but
they have professional networks
they can rely on to sell their books
and get professional speaking
engagements. She acknowledges
that a thread of New Age spirituality characterizes her list. I have
always been interested in the spiritual side of our humanity, the invisible threads that connect us. Though
many of my books touch on this
concept, not all do, but when you
read one of our books, theres
energy on the page.Diane Patrick

her first post at UNFPA in 1971.
Shes now 83 years old and still
racing off to conferences, says
Miller, underscoring Booklists
recent description of Sadik as an
indefatigable supporter, tenacious
crusader, and powerful proponent
of womens autonomy.
Millers first book, Desert Flower,
written in 1997 with Waris Dirie, a
Somali activist and model, about
Diries experience with female genital mutilation, was a bestsellermore
than 11 million copies were sold, in
55 languagesand an advocacy tool.
Champion of Choice addresses
some of the same womens rights
issues by tracing Sadiks inspiring
journey, from medical school in Pakistan (an anomaly for a South Asian
girl born in 1929) to Cairo, where she
brokered a watershed agreement at
the 1994 International Conference
on Population and Development that
defended a womans human right to
decide the size and spacing of her
family signed by 179 governments.
Miller, who began working on the
book around 2002, when then President George W. Bush withdrew U.S.
funding to the UNFPA, says one of
her biggest hopes for the book is
that people realize how crucial
these issues are to the health of the

York City and a distribution agreement with Random House Publisher
Services. After growing rapidly to
become one of the U.K.s largest
independent publishers, with an
assist from Stieg Larssons Millennium trilogy, it will launch its first
U.S. list with 36 titles this fall,
including a new novel by bestselling

Quercus has been planning this
for some time, says associate publisher Nathaniel Marunas, and holding [back] North American rights.

the skull of Zeus fully formed.
In addition to having its first booth
(2942) at BEA, Quercus will participate in two BEA Selects todayone
for Romance, 11 a.m.noon, where
it will present the U.K. bestseller
Thursdays in the Park (Oct.) by Hilary Boyd; the other for Science Fiction/Fantasy, 34 p.m., for Limit (Jo
Fletcher Books, Nov.) by Frank
Schtzing, whose novel The Swarm
sold 1.5 million copies. The press is
also promoting its full inaugural list,
which includes strong international

crime fiction, under the MacLehose
Press imprint. Founder Christopher
MacLehose is best-known for having purchased the English-language
rights to Larssons trilogy and will
publish his The Expo Files (Jan.), as
well as Pierre Lemaitres international bestseller, Alex (Sept.).
The debut U.S. list also includes
science fiction, to be released under
the Jo Fletcher imprint, and the
Quercus Childrens Book imprint
for middle grade and YA. There are
no plans to publish picture books,
according to Marunas. The goal
W E E K LY
over five years is to acquire

North American books for 50%
of the list, says Marunas. The
other half will be international
fiction, with a heavy emphasis
on crime fiction, and nonfiction. That could be a tall order
for a press with a staff of three.
But Marunas isnt worried.
We plan to be choosy and look
for things that work in multiple
English-language markets and
take advantage of the fact that we
have flags planted in two places.
Another Quercus first is a book
signing today at 10:30 a.m. with Richard North Patterson, who makes his
first BEA appearance in a decade. For
Patterson, working with Quercus, or

more particularly managing director David North, is a coming home of
sorts. North, who had been at Pan
Macmillan, was his U.K. publisher
Judith Rosen
for a dozen years.
Indie Authors Battle

Im using the power of the pen to
get the government to back off, and
to educate everyone, explains
Mike Daugherty, the author of The
Devil Inside the Beltway, a first-person account of his ongoing battle
against the federal government that
Daugherty is self-publishing, with a
2,800-copy initial print run in both
paper and hardcover and simultaneous release in electronic formats.
The Devil Inside the Beltway is the
story of how Daughertys company,
a cancer detection
facility in Atlanta, was
fined by the Federal Trade Commission after its medical records were
hacked by a private security company, which had done so as part of a
research project backed with federal funds. The subject matter is
especially of concern for an industry thats committed to preserving
its customers privacy regarding
their book purchases.
Daugherty is also sweetening the
pot for BEA attendees with giveaways: anti-government pills (cin-
namon Red Hots candies) for booth

visitors (2534), who can also enter a
daily drawing for a free Kindle.
Power Readers can enter a drawing on Saturday, with 50 receiving a
finished copy of the book. And
Daugherty intends to send a paperback copy of The Devil Inside the
Beltway to members of Congress.
Even though hes scheduled to
speak at the Midtown Author Stage
today at 10 a.m., Daugherty prefers
that people just read his book. I hate
talking about it: it sounds so surreal.
Claire Kirch
he says.

The American Pain Society
When he died last August at age 47,

David Rakoff was eulogized as a
brilliant raconteur, a comic essayist, a social anthropologist of postmodern life. Now, with the release
of a posthumous book, he is being
hailed againthis time for his
adventurous first novel. Love Dishonor Marry Die Cherish Perish
(Doubleday, July) tells its story
completely in verse. Lighthearted
yet serious, the book spans the
20th century, leaping cities and
decades, according to the publisher, to look at an America whose
freedoms can be intoxicating or
devastating. The characters lives
are linked to each other by acts of
generosity and cruelty.
The book is illustrated with a

series of 12 original drawings by
Canadian cartoonist Seth, best
known for his series Palookaville,
and several of the pictures are
making their debut here in Show
Daily. (The pictures do not appear
in the galleys, and none of the art
has been seen before.)
Originally conceived as a novel
with drawings by Rakoff himself, illness intervened and led Chip Kidd,
the books designer and a good
friend, to look to Seth, an artist
whose sensibility was just right for
the text, Kidd says. Davids lilting,
bittersweet, and incredibly smart
and witty rhyming scheme called to
my mind something out of a vintage

New Yorker, and so do Seths drawings. It really seemed the perfect

match. Rakoff did several preliminary sketches that Seth used for
reference, and before his death
Rakoff got the chance to approve a
rough cover idea, which uses an
image by Seth as well.
As for the books story, it shares
many elements with Rakoffs
essays, says Bill Thomas, Doubleday publisher and the writers longtime editor. Its wickedly funny, for
starters. And it showcases Davids
unique gift for writing lines that are
simultaneously witty and poignant,
which is very, very hard to do, in
prose or in verse.
Rakoff had been contemplating
the idea for a verse novel for at
least 10 years, says Thomas, and he
previewed a sectiona very dicey
wedding toaston a radio broadcast of This American Life, where
he frequently performed. The
reception was so rousing that he
felt the time had come for him to
bring it to fruition, says Thomas.
Stop by the Doubleday booth
(2739) for galleys (without pictures)
and, if youre lucky, a copy of a limited edition broadside featuring
Rakoffs line drawing of a central
image in the book.

Booked for Broadway

As usual this year, hordes of showgoers will search out the hot galleys
as they traverse the Javits aisles.
But for many BEA visitors, showgoing, aisles, and, especially these
days, hot, signify a different meaning here in Gotham, as the Broadway
theater season reaches its climactic
time of the year, when the coveted
Tony Awardsaka Broadways
Oscarswill be presented on Sunday, June 9. As usual, the ceremony
will be telecast, but why not go home
with memories of the seasons top
plays and musicals as seen from
your own theater seats.
Though tickets are available for
somethough not allof the Tonynominated shows, there are a number of other worthwhile offerings
both on and off the Great White Way.
In a tight twosome Tony race for Best
Musical are Kinky Boots, a delightful charmer (based on a 2005 British
film) thats up for 13 Tony Awards,
with music by Cyndi Lauper (yes,
that Cyndi Lauper) and book by the
redoubtable Harvey Fierstein (whos
collected a few Tony Awards of his
own over the years). Bearing a more
literary pedigree is Matilda, a bristling British import adapted from
the 1988 Roald Dahl

book about a fiveyear-old girl who uses
telekinetic powers to get revenge
on the bullying adults in her life.
Though it earned a mere 12 Tonys,
its the critical fave.
Musical revivalsalways a
Broadway stapleand current Tony
nominees include Annie, Rodgers &
Hammersteins Cinderella, and Pippin (overhauled from the original
1972 production with a dynamic,
mega-bigtop circus patina).
Other musical choices include
the beguiling Once (last years Tony
winner, adapted from a popular
2006 film of the same name), set in a
Dublin pub brimming with rousing
atmosphereand rousing melodies, and The Book of Mormon (the
2011 Tony winner, screamingly funny,
and still a somewhat toughthough
not impossibleticket). Still terrific,
still worthwhile (and somewhat easier tickets) are the following holdovers (theres a reason the good
shows hang around): Jersey Boys
(the 2006 Best Musical Tony); Newsies (dancing up a Disney storm);
Wicked; Mamma Mia!; The Lion
King; and the indomitable Phantom
of the Opera (25 years and counting).
Those not in musical mode might
consider the prolonged laughter
thats been emanating from the

Golden Theatre these days, where
celebrated playwright Christopher
Durang is skewering theatrical conventions while sending up Russian
dramedy in Vanya and Sonia and
Masha and Spike. One of the three
Tony-nominated Best Plays, Vanya
has been dubbed the frontrunner by
critics, reviewers, and wildly enthusiastic audiences. Also Tony-nominated is Lucky Guy, Nora Ephrons
posthumous theatrical tribute to
Mike McAlary, the 1980s New York
Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist
and columnist. Leading man Tom
Hanks, not surprisingly, has
snagged a Best Actor Tony nomination for his role. The third Tonynominated Best Play is The Assembled Parties, a lovely, elegantly moving
Jewish family drama (thats not without humor), set on New Yorks Upper
West Side (Judith Light, best known
for her long-running TV role in Whos
the Boss?, is nominated for Best Featured Actress in a Play for Parties.)
To get tickets, one can always
track down the theater box offices,
which generally open at 10 a.m., and
where the lines usually arent too
long. And a good site for checking
out bargain prices, waiting in discount lines, etc., is Playbill.com.
