SUMMARY:Vromans: Enrico Gnaulati discusses Flourishing Love
DESCRIPTION:Flourishing Love is a secular defense of marriage and long-term intimate partnership. It rejects a moral-religious code to govern love lives and instead puts its faith in the human potential for couples to be benevolent\, loyal\, and forgiving to preserve and enhance their romantic union. Dr Gnaulati draws on a variety of sources to present the joint emotional upkeep necessary to make an intimate relationship not just satisfactory\, but vital\, and to illustrate what these lasting bonds look like. The latest science\, anecdotes from his own 30-year marriage as well as from his psychotherapy practice\, the musings of ancient and contemporary philosophers\, and real-life interviews from partners in long-term happy marriages and intimate unions are all used to reveal the secrets to a successful romantic partnership. The result is a how-to of engaging in attentive and sensitive communication; employing a fairness habit of mind around household chores\, childrearing responsibilities\, and finances; optimally moving through and beyond conflict; keeping an erotic spark alive; and ethically handling urges to stray outside the couple. A must-read for all those who crave meaning\, happiness\, and fulfilment in life and need their romantic partnerships to help\, not hinder\, in this endeavor.

SUMMARY:Landmark Theatres: The Metropolitan Opera - Florencia en el Amazonas
DESCRIPTION:See a film featuring the Metropolitan Opera at Landmark Pasadena! \nInspired by the magical realism of Gabriel García Márquez\, Mexican composer Daniel Catán’s 1996 opera tells the enchanting story of a Brazilian opera diva who returns to her homeland to perform at the legendary opera house of Manaus—and to search for her lost lover\, who has vanished into the jungle. The Met premiere stars soprano Ailyn Pérez as Florencia Grimaldi\, with Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin on the podium to lead a spellbinding new production by Mary Zimmerman that brings the mysterious and magical realm of the Amazon to the Met stage. A distinguished ensemble of artists portray the diva’s fellow travelers on the river boat to Manaus\, including soprano Gabriella Reyes as the journalist Rosalba\, bass-baritone Greer Grimsley as the ship’s captain\, baritone Mattia Olivieri as his enigmatic first mate\, tenor Mario Chang as the captain’s nephew Arcadio\, and mezzo-soprano Nancy Fabiola Herrera and baritone Michael Chioldi as the feuding couple Paula and Álvaro.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Andrew Shtulman discusses Learning to Imagine
DESCRIPTION:Imagination is thought to be the province of childhood–the stuff of free play and unrestrained ideas. Then comes the dull routine of adulthood\, stifling creativity. In fact\, the opposite is true. Andrew Shtulman shows that imagination is not inherited at birth\, nor does it diminish with age. It grows as we do\, through education and reflection.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Merrill Joan Gerber presents Revelation at the Food Bank
DESCRIPTION:These powerful essays share critical moments of a writer’s life: scenes from sixty years of passionate married love; suicides faced and suicide contemplated; trauma at the DMV; a night lost searching for a harpsichord in the mountains of Florence\, Italy; the tale of a beloved cousin whose plane is shot down by Japanese Zeros; and a precious friendship between two women writers derailed by the poisons of religion and politics. In the titular essay (included in Best American Essays 2023) a food bank\, assuaging the pandemic’s terrors with gifts of food and prayers\, becomes a portal for intimate confidences entrusted to us by a voice of unspoiled authenticity and perennial vigor.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Matt Coyle and Tim Maleeny discuss Odyssey’s End and Hanging the Devil
DESCRIPTION:Odyssey’s End: San Diego private investigator Rick Cahill’s past comes back to haunt him when he’s at his most vulnerable. His wife\, Leah\, has fled with their daughter\, Krista\, to her parents’ home in Santa Barbara. She fears Rick’s violent outbursts brought on by his potentially fatal brain disorder\, CTE–and she doesn’t trust that he’ll ever be able to tame his manic desire to bring his own brand of justice to an unjust world. \nRick desperately wants to reunite his family and help provide for Krista’s future–one he fears he won’t be alive to see. A jumpstart toward that future appears in the form of Peter Stone\, Rick’s longtime enemy. Stone offers Rick $50\,000 to find a woman he claims can save his life with a kidney transplant. Rick can’t pass up the chance to buttress Krista’s future.\nWhen what seems like a simple missing person case spirals out of control into cryptocurrency machinations\, dead bodies\, and an outgunned faceoff\, Rick is forced to battle evil from his past. Can he stay alive long enough to see his family one last time? (Oceanview Publishing) \nHanging the Devil: It was supposed to be a simple job: steal the paintings\, leave the forgeries…\nWhen a helicopter crashes through the skylight of the Asian Art Museum\, an audacious heist turns into a tragedy. The only witness to the crash is eleven-year-old Grace\, who watches in horror as her uncle is killed and a priceless statue stolen by two men and a–ghost? At least that’s how the eerie\, smoke-like figure with parchment skin and floating hair appears to Grace. Scared almost to death\, she flees into the night and seeks refuge in the back alleys of San Francisco’s Chinatown. \nGrace is found by Sally Mei\, self-appointed guardian of Chinatown. While Sally trains Grace in basic survival skills\, her erstwhile partner Cape Weathers\, private detective and public nuisance\, searches for the mysterious crew behind the robbery before they strike the museum a second time. As the clock winds down\, Cape enlists aid from some unlikely allies to lay a trap for a ghost who has no intention of being caught–nor of leaving any witnesses alive to tell the tale.
