SUMMARY:Boston Court: The Night of the Iguana
DESCRIPTION:Tennessee Williams’s rarely staged The Night of the Iguana tells the story of the Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon\, a defrocked minister now conducting guided tours through Mexico on the verge of a nervous breakdown. As he struggles with his connection to God and yearns to escape his own tortured existence\, he is surrounded by two equally imperfect women\, one of whom offers him sensuality\, the other spirituality as a means of easing his tormented soul. Taking place over the course of one turbulent night at the Costa Verde hotel on the verge of a world war\, the play asks what constitutes escape\, what bargains are we willing to make with ourselves\, and how much we yearn for real human connection – especially when we’re at the end of our rope.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Yaron Weitzman discusses & signs A Hollywood Ending: The Dreams and Drama of the Lebron Lakers
DESCRIPTION:NBA journalist Yaron Weitzman lays out the high stakes drama happening inside the Lakers’ organization at a crucial juncture in their history\, as they try to juggle the warring priorities between Lebron James and the Buss family. \nWhen LeBron James signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018\, the match looked like one made in heaven. Here was a living legend\, the preeminent athlete of his generation\, joining forces with one of the most iconic teams in all of sports. The Lakers\, in the midst of their worst stretch in franchise history and reeling from the death of their legendary owner Dr. Jerry Buss\, needed a savior. LeBron\, fresh off ending Cleveland’s 50-year title drought\, needed a new challenge to help further burnish his legacy. The script wrote itself. \nA little over two years later\, LeBron and Dr. Buss’ daughter\, Jeanie\, were standing shoulder to shoulder\, hoisting the NBA finals trophy into the air. Having won their record-tying 17th NBA title\, the Lakers had reclaimed their accustomed perch on top of the basketball world and seemed destined to dominate the NBA for years to come. \nTraditionally\, the Lakers’ didn’t celebrate championships\, they celebrated dynasties. But this was a different Lakers’ organization\, one beset by infighting. A single title wouldn’t be enough to cement Lebron James status as a Lakers’ legend or help him surpass the ghost of Michael Jordan. Both parties needed sustained success\, but for that to happen they needed to be on the same page. Sadly\, the 2020 title would represent the pinnacle of their pairing\, and the beginning of a precipitous decline. \nDrawing from over 250 interviews\, Yaron Weitzman takes readers on a riveting\, behind the scenes journey of this fraught partnership. From the Succession-like power struggle between the Buss children\, to the rise of LeBron’s landscape-altering talent agency and its attempts to assert its own power within the Lakers’ walls\, to the evolution of LeBron’s priorities and political voice\, “A Hollywood Ending” is the definitive story of an American icon’s final years on stage\, one portraying him\, a fabled NBA franchise\, and the world of modern professional sports in a light never seen before.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Olivie Blake\, in conversation with Chuck Tingle\, discusses & signs Girl Dinner
DESCRIPTION:From the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six\, Girl Dinner is a darkly fun novel about power\, lust\, and eating your fill\, as wealthy moms and sorority girls practice a sinister new wellness trend . . . \nGood girls deserve a treat. \nEvery member of The House\, the most exclusive sorority on campus\, and all its alumni\, are beautiful\, high-achieving\, and universally respected. \nAfter a freshman year she would rather forget\, sophomore Nina Kaur knows being one of the chosen few accepted into The House is the first step in her path to the brightest possible future. Once she’s taken into their fold\, the House will surely ease her fears of failure and protect her from those who see a young woman on her own as easy prey. \nMeanwhile\, adjunct professor Dr. Sloane Hartley is struggling to return to work after accepting a demotion to support her partner’s new position at the cutthroat University. After 18 months at home with her newborn daughter\, Sloane’s clothes don’t fit right\, her girl-dad husband isn’t as present as he thinks he is\, and even the few hours a day she’s apart from her child fill her psyche with paralyzing ennui. When invited to be The House’s academic liaison\, Sloane enviously drinks in the way the alumnae seem to have it all\, achieving a level of collective perfection that Sloane so desperately craves. \nAs Nina and Sloane each get drawn deeper into the arcane rituals of the sisterhood\, they learn that living well comes with bloody costs. And when they are finally invited to the table\, they will have to decide just how much they can stomach in the name of solidarity \nBIOS: \nOLIVIE BLAKE is the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six\, Alone with You in the Ether\, One for My Enemy\, Masters of Death\, Januaries\, and Gifted & Talented. As Alexene Farol Follmuth\, she is also the author of the young adult rom-coms Twelfth Knight and My Mechanical Romance.

Not everything people say about Chuck is true\, but the important parts are.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Thomas Schlesser discusses & signs Mona’s Eyes
DESCRIPTION:THE SENSATIONAL #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER THAT HAS TAKEN THE WORLD BY STORM \nTen-year-old Mona and her beloved grandfather have only fifty-two Wednesdays to visit fifty-two works of art and commit to memory “all that is beautiful in the world” before Mona loses her sight forever. \nWhile the doctors can find no explanation for Mona’s brief episode of blindness\, they agree that the threat of permanent vision loss cannot be ruled out. The girl’s grandfather\, Henry\, may not be able to stop his granddaughter from losing her sight\, but he can fill the encroaching darkness with beauty. \nEvery Wednesday for a year\, the pair abscond together and visit a single masterpiece in one of Paris’s renowned museums. From Botticelli to Basquiat\, Mona learns how each artist’s work shaped the world around them. In turn\, the young girl’s world is changed forever by the power of their art. Under the kind and careful tutelage of her grandfather\, Mona learns the true meaning of generosity\, melancholy\, love\, loss\, and revolution. Her perspective will never be the same — nor will the reader’s. \nMona’s Eyes is a heartfelt\, enlightening journey across five centuries of Western art history. With the emotional impact of The Elegance of the Hedgehog and the readability of The Little Paris Bookshop\, Thomas Schlesser’s sensational debut novel is at once a moving book about the beauty of life and a deeply touching story about the special bond between a girl and her grandfather. \nDiscover all 52 masterpieces inside the fold-out dustjacket.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Eli Frankel discusses & signs Sisters in Death: The Black Dahlia\, the Prairie Heiress\, and Their Hunter
DESCRIPTION:Who killed the Black Dahlia? In this eye-opening shocker\, an award-winning producer\, true-crime researcher\, and Hollywood insider finally solves the greatest – and most gruesome – murder mystery of the twentieth century just before its 80th anniversary. \nIn January 1947\, the bisected body of Elizabeth Short\, completely drained of blood\, was discovered in an undeveloped lot in Los Angeles. Its gruesome mutilations led to a firestorm of publicity\, city-wide panic\, and an unprecedented number of investigative paths led by the LAPD–all dead ends. The Black Dahlia murder remained an unsolved mystery for over seventy years. \nSix years earlier and sixteen hundred miles away\, another woman’s life had ended in a similarly horrific manner. Leila Welsh was an ambitious\, educated\, popular\, and socially connected beauty. Though raised modestly on a prairie farm\, she was heiress to her Kansas City family’s status and wealth. On a winter morning in 1941\, Leila’s butchered body was found in her bedroom bearing the marks of unspeakable trauma. \nOne victim faded into obscurity. The other became notorious. Both had in common a killer whose sadistic mind was a labyrinth of dark secrets. \nEli Frankel reveals for the first time a key fact about the Black Dahlia crime scene\, never before shared with the public\, that leads inexorably to the stunning identification of a criminal who was at the same time amateurish and fiendish\, skilled and lucky\, sophisticated and brutish. Drawing on newly discovered documents\, law enforcement files\, interviews with the last surviving participants\, the victims’ own letters\, trial transcripts\, military records\, and more\, this epic true-crime saga puts together the missing pieces of a legendary puzzle. \nIn Sisters in Death\, the Black Dahlia cold case is finally closed.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Ticketed - Andrew Morton discusses & signs Winston and the Windsors: How Churchill Shaped a Royal Dynasty
DESCRIPTION:From an early age\, Winston Churchill was convinced that he was a man of destiny. Today\, it seems his premonition was correct; few figures in British history have been so deeply and consequently involved with the British family as Churchill. While many people in positions of power have advised kings and queens during their reign\, Churchill is unique in his role: helping to shape not only a reign\, but an entire royal dynasty. \nIn Winston and the Windsors\, one of the world’s best-known biographers and a leading authority on celebrity Andrew Morton presents a meticulously researched joint biography of Winston Churchill and the House of Windsor. Throughout the course of his career and life\, Churchill’s relationship with the Windsor’s fluctuated wildly. At times\, he was the royal family’s trusted confidante. At others\, he was their leading antagonist. In exploring the complex relationship between the two\, Morton argues that – whether the attitudes of the royal family were warm or icy towards Churchill – their relationship is central to the twentieth-century history of the British monarchy. \nFrom the Churchill family’s complex relationship with the crown; to Winston’s initially begrudging but ultimately fruitful partnership with George VI; to his enduring fondness for Queen Elizabeth II\, this fascinating narrative biography sheds a new light on the ways the crown not only shaped Winston Churchill’s career – but the ways in which Churchill shepherded the monarchy into the modern era. \nThis is an in-store ticketed event with two ticket options.- General Admission + 1 copy of Winston and the Windsors– 2 General Admissions + 1 copy of Winston and the Windsors

SUMMARY:Tepito Coffee + Vroman’s Bookstore Present: Rings of Dissent: Boxing and Performances of Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Tepito Coffee + Vroman’s Bookstore Present: Rings of Dissent: Boxing and Performances of Rebellion\, a special conversation moderated by Mike de la Rocha\, featuring Rudy Mondragón\, Gaye Theresa Johnson & Priscilla Leiva\n\nImage\n \n\nProfessional boxers practice their trade within an ostensibly apolitical arena. In reality\, however\, the fighters work inside a capitalistic and neoliberal sports culture that they both challenge and uphold. This collection delves into professional boxing’s capacity for brilliance\, contradiction\, resistance\, and complicity. Scholars\, activists\, and artists explore the boxing ring as a site for understanding original and diverse ideas about the performance of race\, citizenship\, gender\, power\, and dissent. Essays and interviews draw attention to the cultural politics and performances of marginalized boxers while revealing the structures of power and practices of agency at work around Black\, Brown\, and queer bodies. As the contributors establish boxing’s central place in communities of color\, they open exciting new avenues for studying race\, immigration\, gender\, and capital. Multifaceted and innovative\, Rings of Dissent uncovers fascinating corners of the boxing world as it illuminates what the sport tells us about America.
