SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Nora Lange\, in conversation with J. Ryan Stradal and Graham Moore\, discuss Us Fools
DESCRIPTION:A tragicomic\, intimate American story of two precocious sisters coming of age during the Midwestern farm crisis of the 1980s. \nJoanne and Bernadette Fareown are raised on their family farm in rural Illinois\, keenly affected by their parents’ volatile relationship and mounting financial debt\, haunted by the cursed history of the women in their family. Largely left to their own devices\, the sisters educate themselves on Greek mythology\, feminism\, and Virginia Woolf. They realize they must find unique ways to cope in these antagonistic conditions and question the American Dream as the rest of the country abandons their community in crisis. \nAs Jo and Bernie’s imaginative solutions for escape come up short against their parents’ realities\, the family leaves their farm for Chicago\, where Joanne—free-spirited\, reckless\, and unable to tame her inner violence—rebels in increasingly desperate ways. After her worst breakdown yet\, Jo goes into exile in Deadhorse\, Alaska\, and it is up to Bernadette to use all she’s learned from her sister to revive a sense of hope against the backdrop of a failing world.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Bob Weis discusses Dream Chasing
DESCRIPTION:Dream Chasing is a recounting by author Bob Weis of four decades of creating and seeing to completion challenging projects\, leading teams from the top secret\, high-tech corridors of Walt Disney Imagineering (WDI) to the highest levels of The Walt Disney Company. Our author recounts working on and overseeing projects that took him from Anaheim\, California\, to the swampy wetlands of Central Florida\, and even on to Paris; Washington\, D.C.; Russia; Tokyo; Shanghai; and the massive shipyards of Papenburg\, Germany. \nBob Weis is a dreamer who believes that if you can imagine it\, you can do it. He was an Imagineer over a forty-year span\, from 1980 to 2023. In those years\, Bob worked on every Disney park and resort around the world. He was president of Walt Disney Imagineering from 2016 to 2022\, and a Disney Global Imagineering Ambassador after that. His passion for storytelling and creative collaboration\, new technologies\, and for the vibrancy of the guest experience has driven him through projects from Tokyo Disneyland (and later its accompanying park\, Tokyo DisneySea) and Disney Hollywood Studios to the reinvention of Disney California Adventure and on to Shanghai Disneyland. Weis also led the creative development of the new Triton class of cruise ships\, the first of which was the critically acclaimed Disney Wish.Outside of Disney\, Weis has served as a consultant to the Kennedy Space Center\, Smithsonian\, New York City’s Rockefeller Center\, U. S. Navy\, and Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Esinam Bediako\, in conversation with Jayne Allen\, discuss Blood on the Brain
DESCRIPTION:An impulsive\, madcap and newly concussed young woman comes of age as she navigates her Ghanaian American identity\, her relationships\, and the muddled landscape of history\, memory\, imagination\, and delusion. \nTwenty-four-year-old Akosua is easily knocked off her feet. When she falls and hits her head\, she’s too preoccupied with her latest dramas to fully absorb the shock. In three months\, she has broken up with her boyfriend Wisdom\, discovered that her deadbeat dad has moved back to the States from Ghana\, and dropped so many classes that she believes she’s the only history grad student in the history of grad students to be registered for just one partial-credit class. Instead of facing her problems\, Akosua seeks distraction from Daniel\, a “good Ghanaian man.” But as her head injury worsens\, she questions whether she can continue to run away from her father any more than she can keep ignoring her brain and its traumas. Vibrant\, funny\, and bittersweet\, Blood on the Brain is a novel about the complications of family\, romance\, and culture—and how coming of age can feel like a blow to the head. \nEsinam Bediako is a Ghanaian American writer from Detroit. She is the author of the Ann Petry Award-winning novel\, Blood on the Brain (Red Hen Press\, 2024)\, as well as the essay/poetry chapbook\, Self-Talk (Porkbelly Press\, 2024). You can find some of her recent work in Porter House Review\, Cathexis Northwest Press\, Great River Review\, North American Review\, and Southern Humanities Review. Esi lives in Claremont\, CA with her husband and their two sons\, who create stories\, videos\, and other artwork with enviable speed and imagination.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Chris Nichols and Adriene Biondo discuss Bowlarama: The Architecture of Mid-century Bowling
DESCRIPTION:Bowlarama: The Architecture of Mid-Century Bowling takes aim at the obsession that swept the post-war nation: bowling! More than just a sport or a hobby\, bowling became the ultimate modern lifestyle for Americans savoring the boom years that followed World War II. Bowling alleys were modern palaces; companies constantly aimed to outdo each other\, whether competing for the most spectacular architecture\, the most luxurious lanes\, the snazziest bowling balls\, or the most exciting refreshments they could offer. Bowlarama brings back―in living color―all the excitement in its lavishly illustrated pages\, packed with vintage photographs\, exciting ephemera\, and detailed hand-drawn architectural renderings that capture all the optimism\, enthusiasm\, and joie de vivre of the era.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Elizabeth Acevedo\, in conversation with Yesika Salgado\, discuss Family Lore
DESCRIPTION:From National Book Award-winning author Elizabeth Acevedo comes the story of one Dominican American family told through the voices of its women \nFlor has a gift: she can predict\, to the day\, when someone will die. So when she decides she wants a living wake—a party to bring her family and community together to celebrate the long life she’s led—her sisters are surprised. Has Flor foreseen her own death\, or someone else’s? Does she have other motives? She refuses to tell her sisters\, Matilde\, Pastora\, and Camila. \nBut Flor isn’t the only person with secrets: her sisters are hiding things\, too. And the next generation\, cousins Ona and Yadi\, face tumult of their own. \nSpanning the three days prior to the wake\, Family Lore traces the lives of each of the Marte women\, weaving together past and present\, Santo Domingo and New York City. Told with Elizabeth Acevedo’s inimitable and incandescent voice\, this is an indelible portrait of sisters and cousins\, aunts and nieces—one family’s journey through their history\, helping them better navigate all that is to come.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Robin Benway discusses The Girls of Skylark Lane
DESCRIPTION:National Book Award winner Robin Benway debuts a coming-of-age middle grade novel about friendships\, family\, and discovering the person you’re meant to be. Babysitters Club meets The Sandlot when twin sisters join a ragtag neighborhood girls softball team at a time when growing up could mean growing apart. \nAggie and Jac might be twin sisters\, but lately they haven’t felt the same about anything. While Jac is excited about their move to Los Angeles and a chance to seem cool and mysterious\, Aggie is worried her new locker won’t open\, that Jac could make new friends without her\, and that her friends from home will move on\, leaving her all alone. \nWhen the first day at school ends with an invite to join the neighborhood softball team\, Aggie jumps at the chance to meet the other girls\, even if she has to drag Jac along\, whose own interest in the softball team might have more to do with the captain’s older brother… \nAggie is relieved to learn that each girl is dealing with their own problems and becomes excited at the opportunity to create strong friendships. But as Jac and Aggie grow into different people\, will they be able to hold on to their sisterhood? For life throws the biggest curveball of all: growing up.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Mike Madrid discusses The Latino Century: How America's Largest Minority Is Transforming Democracy
DESCRIPTION:An insightful investigation of how and why the two major political parties have failed to appeal to the Latino vote—the largest ethnic voting group in the country—and the impact it will have on American democracy and politics for decades to come. \nIn 2020\, Latinos became the second-largest ethnic voting group in the country. They make up the largest plurality of residents in the most populous states in the union\, as well as the fastest segment of the most important swing states in the US Electoral College. Fitting neither the stereotype of the aggrieved minority voter nor the traditional assimilating immigrant group\, Latinos are challenging both political parties’ notions of race\, religious beliefs\, economic success\, and the American dream. Given their exploding numbers—and their growing ability to determine the fate of local\, state\, and national elections—you’d think the two major political parties would understand Latino voters. After all\, their emergence on the national scene is not a new phenomenon. But they still don’t. \nRepublicans\, not because of their best efforts but rather despite them\, are just beginning to see a movement of Latinos toward the GOP. Democrats\, for the moment\, still win a commanding share of the Latino vote\, but that share is dwindling fast. Now\, in The Latino Century\, veteran political consultant Mike Madrid uses thirty years of research and campaign experience at some of the highest levels on both sides of the aisle to address what might be the most critical questions of our time: Will the rise of Latino voters continue to foment the hyper-partisan and explosive tribalism of our age or will they usher in a new pluralism that advances the arc of social progress? How and why are both political parties so uniquely unprepared for the coming wave of Latino votes? And what must each party do to win those votes? \nBy answering these questions\, The Latino Century explores the true meaning of America at a time of rapid cultural change\, the founding principles of self-government and individual responsibility\, and one man’s journey through a political party that has turned itself inside out.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstor: Scott Dominic Carpenter\, in conversation with Joan Meyerson\, discuss Paris Lost and Found: A Memoir of Love
DESCRIPTION:Following his hilarious introduction to Paris in French Like Moi\, Midwesterner Scott Dominic Carpenter returns to the scene of the crime with more tales of intrigue. \nThis time\, though\, the story starts with sorrow as Carpenter’s wife struggles with dementia. Humor may be the best medicine\, but even the antics of a vandal in their building can’t cement the tiles of her memory for long. Before he expects it\, the author finds himself alone in a capital that is also blighted by the pandemic. \nIt’s against this backdrop that the city comes roaring back to life. From bizarre encounters on the Metro to comical clashes with authority figures\, and even a quixotic battle against a flock of migrant parrots\, Paris Lost and Found unveils sides of the great city that are as quirky as they are authentic. With his unique blend of wit\, insight\, and wistfulness\, Carpenter charts a path through his new labyrinth of solitude–only to emerge on the other side\, squinting into the bright light of hope and new beginnings.
