SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Rebekah Faubion\, in conversation with Liz Kerin\, discusses & signs What a Nightmare
DESCRIPTION:They called her a nightmare\, so she became one. \nHaven Powers has spent years trying to disappear. Once a loud\, troublemaking girl who defied every expectation in her small town of Friendship\, Texas\, now she’s learned to hide her fire behind a quiet receptionist’s smile. It’s safer that way–for her\, and for everyone else. \nWhen an unsettling encounter with her predatory boss cracks open the tightly locked box inside her\, Haven dreams a terrifying dream about him\, only to wake up and discover it’s come true; he’s dead. Desperate to gain control of this deadly power once and for all\, Haven returns home. \nWelcomed suspiciously with open arms\, Haven is immediately met with the ghosts of her past. Under the suffocating pressure of the town and her family who believe obedience is next to godliness\, Haven soon finds herself on a path to revenge. She’ll show them what happens when the girl they called too much\, too loud\, too everything\, finally lets her demons loose.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Joey Clift\, in conversation with Ally Beardsley and illustrator Julie Fiveash\, discusses  We've Been Here the Whole Time!
DESCRIPTION:Peabody and Emmy-nominated Native comedian Joey Clift takes you on a journey to discover the largest population you don’t know in his hilarious debut for fans of Michael Harriot\, Mo Rocca\, and Phoebe Robinson. \nForeword by Shane Hawk\, writer and co-editor of Never Whistle at Night: An Indigenous Dark Fiction Anthology! \nPut away the construction paper: This contraband book is here to teach you everything your high school refused to teach about Native American history\, people\, and culture. From misunderstood figures like Pocahontas\, to sports mascots\, to the Land Back movement\, to how cool Lily Gladstone is\, this hilarious NDN-approved guide is the first of its kind–illustrated in an irreverent\, textbook-meets-notebook style by DinÃ(c) artist Julie Fiveash. Share with your loved ones and transform your boring Thanksgiving into a big “You’re Welcome” dance party! \nJoey Clift (Cowlitz tribe) walks you through a wide range of information that will answer provocative questions and debunk Americans’ wildest assumptions\, like: \n\n“Native American” or “American Indian” What the heck do we call you?\nIs it appropriate to do a Land Acknowledgement over Zoom?\nWhy saying “I’m 1/16th Cherokee” is like saying you’re “1/16th Californian’\nColumbus Day is a holiday for a guy who was bad at pretty much everything\nAre Native American people extinct? No! Stop asking!\n\nThis giftable\, conversation-starting book is perfect for history buffs\, teachers\, and comedy lovers alike. Funny\, fearless\, and deeply informative\, Joey Clift’s debut reminds readers that Native people aren’t just part of history–they’ve been here the whole time.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Matt Singer\, discusses & signs Funny Business
DESCRIPTION:A celebration of a generation of iconic comedies–the raunchy\, blockbuster “Frat Pack” films of the early 2000s–and a no-holds-barred look at their rise and fall in Hollywood\, the effects of which can still be felt in the fractured media landscape of today \nIf you were a moviegoer in the early aughts\, you had a front-row seat to a golden age of comedy. Ben Stiller\, Seth Rogen\, Will Ferrell\, Owen Wilson\, Steve Carell\, and Vince Vaughn became unlikely leading men–a band of rowdy wedding crashers\, hungover bachelors\, and 40-year-old virgins dubbed the “Frat Pack” that took Hollywood by storm over the span of a single decade. Then\, seemingly overnight\, Frat Pack movies vanished. Or did they? \nIn Funny Business\, award-winning author and film critic Matt Singer traces the path these gonzo stars and directors took from the fringes of comedy to the mainstream–beginning on tiny stages like Second City and the Groundlings\, then infiltrating into talent incubators like SNL\, eventually leading to the big screen. Along the way\, he shares insider stories of the films that raised a generation\, including: The 40-Year-Old Virgin\, Zoolander\, Borat\, Anchorman\, Old School\, and The Hangover. \nHow did these movies and their stars come to dominate a generation of moviemaking? Who won–and who was left out–of this comedy boom? And can studio comedies make a comeback in our modern digital and streaming world? Funny Business points the way forward to a (possible) new future for cinema–never forgetting that the audience always gets the last laugh. \nBio: \nMatt Singer is the editor and film critic of ScreenCrush.com and a member of the New York Film Critics Circle. He is also the author of Marvel’s Spider-Man: From Amazing to Spectacular and Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies Forever. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two daughters.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Hernan Diaz\, in conversation with Percival Everett\, discusses Ply
DESCRIPTION:The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Trust turns to the future with a novel that examines the place of technology in the American imagination \nCenturies from now\, at the dawn of a historical epoch filled with both uncertainty and promise\, an orphan is adrift in a city on the brink of a great transformation. The state has been dismantled\, and humans are reinventing social bonds and learning new ways to coexist with nature. Following a childhood defined by loss\, survival\, and found family\, the orphan grows up to become a “pincher\,” someone who steals electricity from the grid to sell it on the black market. It’s a high-risk life\, one that brings her into a rich art and music scene where she powers underground concerts. It also leads her to a colossal scientific invention that could change the very fabric of reality. \nAfter rewriting America’s past with his two previous novels\, Hernan Diaz defies expectations with his third and gives us a breathtaking glimpse into the future. A major achievement from a major contemporary writer\, Ply questions the place of technology in the American experiment with a plot that grabs both heart and mind. It is a novel of ideas built from a story of people. Combining Dickensian odyssey\, family drama\, and scientific thriller\, Ply poignantly charts the tenuous boundaries of selfhood and the distance that inevitably stands between us and those we love.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore;  Monte Burke discusses & signs Men of Troy
DESCRIPTION:From a New York Times bestselling author\, a deeply reported account of how the USC Trojan football team captivated the sporting world in the 2000s. \nThe University of Southern California received thousands of calls\, emails and letters in 2001\, after hiring former NFL coach\, Pete Carroll\, to resurrect its moribund program. Carroll was a “failure\,” a “fraud\,” and a “flake” according to USC boosters\, the fans in Los Angeles and the college football cognoscenti. But by the middle of the decade\, he had turned USC into a legendary juggernaut\, with multiple Heisman Trophy winners and national championships. \nIn Men of Troy\, Monte Burke\, provides the definitive account of this singular dynasty\, based on original reporting and more than 150 new interviews. Burke illustrates how Carroll and his colorful cast of coaches and players–including cross-eyed quarterback turned national heartthrob\, Matt Leinart\, and the electric\, generational running back\, Reggie Bush–not only took over college football\, but Los Angeles and the country\, as well. \nBurke not only takes readers through the iconic games of the era\, but also behind the scenes–in the locker room\, on the recruiting trail and into the LA nightlife scene\, where the players enjoyed their celebrity status and\, at times\, succumbed to illicit temptations. He also puts the dynasty in proper context\, tracing the breathtaking rise of the program\, the sudden and inglorious fall\, and the scandal that left a program in ruins and precipitated the drastic changes that led to the current era of college football.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  TICKETED - Leigh Bardugo\, Christopher Rice\, & Eric Shaw Quinn discuss & sign Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire: 50th Anniversary Edition
DESCRIPTION:The 50th anniversary edition of the spellbinding classic that started it all\, from the #1 New York Times bestselling author. \nThis dazzling special edition features a jacket with foil and embossing\, sprayed edges\, designed endpapers\, a new foreword from Leigh Bardugo\, an afterword by Christopher Rice\, and never-before-seen bonus pages from the original manuscript. \nHere are the confessions of a vampire: a hypnotic\, shocking\, and chillingly sensual story of Louis de Pointe du Lac’s first two hundred years as one of the living dead. We begin on the night when Louis\, disaffected and reluctant heir to a Louisiana plantation\, is turned into a vampire by Lestat. Radiant\, petulant\, and powerful\, Lestat becomes Louis’ companion and urges him to embrace the hungers and feelings of vampirism: the detachment\, the hardened will\, the “superior” sensual pleasures. As Louis struggles to retain the last residue of human feeling within him\, he discovers must commit the ultimate act: to break away from his creator and discover the new world to which he belongs–whatever the cost. \nThis is a story of danger and flight\, of loyalty and treachery\, of gaining humanity and losing it\, and of the extraordinary power of the sense

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Vroman’s Bookstore & Tepito Coffee Present: Leslie Priscilla discussing & signing Chancla
DESCRIPTION:A parenting guide that speaks directly to Latinx families with language\, history\, and lived experience that honors and celebrates our cultura–while helping readers unlearn violence and shame as tools of discipline. \nFor many in the Latinx community\, “la Chancla”–what we learn to see as the warning sign for disciplinary violence–has become a cultural symbol that has spawned relatable memes that many of us laugh about and bond over. But what if it’s also a symbol of something more harmful? \nIn Chancla\, educator and Latinx Parenting founder\, Leslie Priscilla\, invites readers\, parents\, and the Latinx community on a transformative journey away from cycles of fear\, shame\, and corporal punishment. With warmth and deep cultural insight\, Priscilla explores the historical legacies attached to Chancla while offering a path forward rooted in connection\, self-reflection\, and ancestral healing. Chancla is the nonviolent parenting practice that celebrates Latinx cultura\, while teaching its readers–and their Mamis\, Papis\, Tias\, and Tios–how to heal from generational violence. \nBlending personal storytelling\, historical context\, and actionable tools\, Chancla helps readers not only nurture their children\, but their wounded inner child. Readers will see themselves in these pages\, because ultimately Chancla encourages them to unlearn what they’ve inherited and make space for what they deserve: homes full of love\, safety\, and respect.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Miriam Pawel discusses & signs California Dreams
DESCRIPTION:Pulitzer Prize winner Miriam Pawel’s epic history of one of the world’s elite public universities\, its sweeping social impact\, and hopeful lessons about endurance in troubled times. \nDistinguished by its founding mission as an engine of upward mobility\, the University of California-a constitutionally independent public trust-is a great American experiment that has persevered through fraught battles over access\, funding\, and leadership. \nThe University has been at the nexus of nearly every public policy debate and social movement since the Civil War\, from women’s rights to student protests\, from academic freedom to affirmative action\, shaping policies that reverberate throughout the United States. \nCalifornia Dreams narrates UC’s rise and resilience through the lens of those whose lives it has transformed-in particular\, five pioneering graduates whose diverse paths underscore why the University remains\, in the words of Berkeley graduate Joan Didion\, “California’s best idea of itself.” \nAt a time of staggering inequality and uncertainty\, as higher education faces unprecedented threats\, that role has never been more crucial. Drawing on extensive research in ten archives and dozens of interviews\, California Dreams weaves together the linked history of the school and state in all its drama\, signi?cance\, and humanity; the result is a magisterial narrative of both a remarkable public institution of higher education\, and also California itself.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Jon Else discusses & signs Frenchman Flat: The Rise and Fall of Atomic Bombs
DESCRIPTION:The story of a single nuclear bomb’s deep origins\, brief life during the Cold War\, and lasting environmental and political legacies–as a fresh path to consider the entire sweep of the American nuclear enterprise. A grave reminder of the frightening truth about nuclear testing\, as international norms waver. \nAs the US and Russia let one treaty after another falter and expire\, this urgent book reminds us of the price of those tests. Frenchman Flat recounts the science\, politics\, and human experience of those who developed nuclear weapons\, suffered the consequences\, and fought for and against arms control between the 1940s and 1990s. The throughline of this vast\, complex story is a 37-kiloton atomic bomb dubbed “Priscilla” that was exploded above a custom-built mini-civilization at Frenchman Flat\, Nevada\, in 1957. Jon Else uses Priscilla and the bombs that preceded and followed to highlight the terrifying ways we have stockpiled and tested nuclear weapons\, how near and often we came to self-annihilation\, how we managed to avoid it\, and what we did to the planet and to our own bodies in the process\, from wartime Los Alamos to the suspension of US and Soviet nuclear testing in 1992. \nIn the two decades after Hiroshima\, a pair of dramatic stories unfolded alongside each other: the scramble to produce ever more powerful nuclear weapons\, and the struggle to ban testing of those same weapons. The dramatic narrative takes in the physics of the megaton postwar bombs\, the role of private industry\, the near misses of the Cuban Missile Crisis and less well-known events\, and the testimony of scientists\, politicians\, doctors\, weapons developers\, test-site workers\, ranchers\, and families downwind of test sites. \nThis powerful and persuasive book reminds us how we have–so far–prevented nuclear war by deterrence\, diplomacy\, and luck. It is for the moment a success story\, and a warning.
