SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Brian Clune discusses & signs Legends & Lore Along Route 66: Tales from the Mother Road
DESCRIPTION:100 years of cruising from Chicago to Santa Monica. \nOpened in 1926\, Route 66 was one of America’s original highways. In modern times\, the Mother Road is an icon of nostalgia and kitsch\, but behind each pit stop is a uniquely human story. From Alberta Ellis\, who created safe havens for African American travelers in the first half of the twentieth century to Bob Waldmire and Angel Delgadillo\, who worked to preserve the history of the route after the interstates came through\, the people behind these places are what truly make them special. \nJust off the well-traveled path are places like the Santa Fe Internment Camp\, where many Japanese Americans were forcibly relocated during World War II\, and the Apache Death Cave near Two Guns\, Arizona\, said to be the site where many Native Americans lost their lives. Visit the Amboy Crater\, a dormant volcano in the Mojave Desert of California that hints at the distant geological past\, and the town of Baxter Springs\, which was once a major part of America’s Main Street. \nAuthor Brain Clune brings to life the tales that left a legacy along Route 66.

DESCRIPTION:From the critically acclaimed author of Line of Sight and All These Ashes comes the exciting final installment of the Russell Avery series\, a trilogy of “turnpike noir” that brings the neighborhoods of New Jersey to life (CrimeReads) \nAfter the death of his two oldest sources\, Russell Avery trades in his life as a former journalist turned private investigator for peace and quiet at home. Aside from the occasional online reporting under the safety of an alias\, Russell is enjoying being a normal guy with a normal girlfriend and suburban bliss just within reach. Until his onetime mentor disappears. Russell soon learns that other journalists in the area have gone missing\, too\, all under mysterious circumstances. Unable to resist the pull of a good story\, he quickly finds himself at odds with a violent band of conspiracy theorists and ex-cops convinced that reporters are the “enemy of the people.” Russell sacrificed two careers to the belief in the power of truth. But now\, face-to-face with an America where facts are more fluid than Newark’s Passaic River\, he must decide if the truth is still worth fighting for.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Ariel Delgado Dixon\, in conversation with Sam Cohen\, discusses & signs Sourland
DESCRIPTION:A gripping\, propulsive novel about succession\, sex\, and revenge on a California marijuana farm \n“Deliciously written and compulsively readable . . . As the ex-lovers of a missing weed farmer grapple for control of her land and harvest\, they contend with the force of her presence and the complexities of their own pasts.”–Carmen Maria Machado\, author of In the Dream House and Her Body and Other Parties \nSapphire and her farm\, Sourland\, are fixtures of Northern California’s rugged wilderness\, offering refuge to rejects\, rebels\, and outcasts–anyone willing to work and learn. But the haven Sapphire has built is fractured when she suddenly goes missing\, her scorched truck abandoned on a mountain road. \nFrankie\, a disgraced ballerina and Sapphire’s former girlfriend and right-hand woman\, returns to Sourland\, claiming ownership of the farm. When she arrives\, Frankie finds that Fizz–Sapphire’s most recent lover\, an ex-baseball player with a preternatural green thumb–has already begun prepping Sourland for its biggest harvest yet. \nAs the two grapple for power\, the farm’s fate hangs in the balance\, and with it\, the future Fizz and Frankie each covet for themselves. Past demons and scorned admirers remain hauntingly close\, while the specter of Sapphire looms over the farm: in cryptic notes\, in bud-tender gossip\, in every blade of grass and whorl of smoke. \nA brilliantly constructed novel of desire and betrayal\, Sourland sparkles with the beauty and grime of the California woods. Dixon’s novel warns that our true nature catches up to us all–no matter how far we run.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: D.K. Furutani\, in conversation with Naomi Hirahara\, discusses & signs When Mikan Road Was Ours
DESCRIPTION:Winner of Simon & Schuster’s Books Like Us contest\, a gripping\, sincere debut novel set across four generations of a Japanese American family living in California’s vibrant agricultural heartlands\, exploring the sharp edges of inheritance and what it means to truly belong. \nAmid a sweltering Los Angeles heat wave\, Murano\, a reclusive high school English teacher\, is muddling through life. Reeling from his father’s sudden death as well as his own recent cancer diagnosis\, he passes time hazily grading papers and appeasing disgruntled parents while counting down each day until summer vacation. \nThe monotony breaks when he inherits his great-uncle Benjiro’s unpublished memoir. What Murano expects to be a grim reminder of his position as the half-white son of the family’s outcast instead whisks him away to 1930s California\, to a time when the Murano family was inseparable\, relishing life together on their bucolic farm. As the memoir introduces him to relatives he never knew existed and unearths hidden complexities of the past\, Murano is pulled close to the Japanese identity he’s dismissed all of his life. Faced with the reality of his family’s dissolution\, Murano becomes determined to understand its breaking point following their incarceration in American concentration camps during World War II\, no matter what hidden truths he might uncover about his ancestors or himself. \nLovingly crafted with poignant and profound attention to historical detail\, When Mikan Road Was Ours is a rich meditation on belonging that seamlessly blends the intricacies of heritage\, the resilience of family bonds\, and the struggle to reconcile a past filled with both heartache and hope. \n  \nBorn and raised in Southern California\, D.K. Furutani is the author of When Mikan Road Was Ours\, winner of Simon & Schuster’s third-annual Books Like Us contest. His work has received support from the Periplus Collective and the Tin House workshops. He resides in Los Angeles with his wife and three cats.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Brooke Nevils discusses & signs Unspeakable Things: Silence\, Shame\, and the Stories We Choose to Believe
DESCRIPTION:A powerful and personal examination of our most persistent and dangerous misunderstandings\, myths and stereotypes about sexual harassment and assault \nIn 2017\, Brooke Nevils made a confidential HR complaint about one of the most powerful and familiar faces in media. Twenty-four hours later\, the highest paid morning news anchor in history was fired\, stunning millions of Americans in one of the MeToo era’s defining stories. Demanding answers–and the intimate details of the most personal and painful humiliation of her life–the press soon discovered her identity. \nBut hers was not the kind of black-and-white story the media knew how to tell. There’d been no explicit threats. She hadn’t screamed\, fought\, or gone to the police. Instead\, she returned to her abuser again and again in a frantic attempt to “fix” an impossible situation that threatened her livelihood and the people closest to her. Yet as MeToo unfolded\, Brooke learned that messy stories like hers were far from the exception\, and that nearly everything she’d believed about sexual harassment and assault–and how victims react to it–was wrong. She began a yearslong effort to confront and understand her own experience\, not simply as a woman reckoning with her past\, but as a journalist confronting the critical questions that MeToo asked but ultimately left unanswered. \nThrough groundbreaking interviews with leading clinicians\, forensic professionals\, attorneys\, and frontline researchers\, Unspeakable Things challenges our understanding of consent\, power\, and the lingering\, often misunderstood effects of trauma and shame. Despite its rarefied setting at the height of fame\, power\, and American media\, Brooke’s story serves as a textbook example of an all-too-common scenario that continues to devastate lives and enable abusers. This book is a powerful re-examination of everything we think we know\, the start to a new conversation\, and–for anyone who has ever felt ashamed\, hopeless\, alone\, and afraid–a light in the dark.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Michael Elias discusses & signs Bender’s L.A.
DESCRIPTION:In the coke-dusted canyons and deal-making rooms of 1970s Los Angeles\, Bender’s L.A. follows writer David Bender as he sets out to remake his life – romantically\, professionally\, and spiritually – after his wife walks out in Puerto Vallarta with a single sentence and a suitcase. \nWhile the Vietnam War casts its shadow\, Bender runs afoul of Nixon’s FBI\, plays tennis with fugitive Abbie Hoffman\, arms himself against a homicidal producer\, and goes back in time to fall in love with a young Marilyn Monroe. Bender weaves through a world of players\, radicals\, writers and artists including a woman suspiciously like Eve Babitz. \nHaunted by his New York past and guided by his Sun Tzu-quoting agent Neil Navitz\, Bender begins to wonder whether success has cost him the things that mattered – or whether he ever truly possessed them. \nWith a comic edge\, Elias offers a bitter-sweet meditation on love\, memory\, and the moral compromise of the Hollywood illusion machine and the misfits it often mangles along the way. In this tragicomedy of nostalgia and recovery\, Bender prevails.

DESCRIPTION:The 1933 KING KONG was not just a terrifying monster movie. It was also an epic fairy tale\, a tragic love story\, and a landmark piece of cinema that introduced one of the most beloved characters in motion picture history-a universally recognizable cultural icon whose legacy encompasses a vast multimedia universe consisting of more than ten feature films as well as numerous television shows\, books\, comics\, toys\, collectibles\, and even a Broadway musical. \nIn this extensively revised and updated edition of a classic book first published two decades ago\, King Kong: The History of a Movie Icon is the definitive account of the most famous simian in pop-culture history. It spans the whole of the Eighth Wonder’s filmography\, chronicling in detail the making of every Kong movie beginning with the 1933 original and continuing through the giant gorilla’s Japanese adventures and the epic Dino De Laurentiis and Peter Jackson remakes before concluding with the most recent films that place the great ape within an ever-expanding “Monsterverse.” Author and Kongophile Ray Morton also offers entertaining looks at the character’s appearances in other media\, along with plenty of trivia and reflections on the franchise’s enduring appeal. Packed with photographs and based on extensive new research and exclusive interviews\, this is by far the most complete and comprehensive guide to all things Kong. \nIncluded here are: \nThe creation of the Kong character by Merian C. Cooper \nThe development\, production\, and release of the original 1933 film and its many successors \nThe Cartoon Kong: the giant gorilla’s animated incarnations. \nKong on the Stage: theatrical productions featuring the Eighth Wonder. \nKong on the Page: the many publications devoted to the great ape. \nThe Sons of Kong: Kong variants\, spoofs\, and rip-offs such as Mighty Joe Young\, Queen Kong\, and A*P*E*. \nThe Kongs that Never Were: Kong projects that never made it to the screen \nThe innumerable Kong-related products generated over the past century
