First Half:
"Long in scope, ambitious with its characters, and grounded with realism and wry humor, MATRIMONY introduces us to Julian Wainwright and Mia Mendelsohn. Here are two intensely likeable yet wonderfully flawed characters, who meet their freshman year at Graymont College, a liberal arts school in western Massachusetts. Julian, an aspiring writer, has arrived at college from New York to study with his literary hero. Mia has come from Montreal searching for something new and unknown. When they meet, folding laundry, they fall deeply and happily into first love." --http://www.writersrevealed.com
Second Half:
"The inside story of Sassy is bittersweet-a teen magazine with an enormous, almost cult-like following, it enjoyed a brief but brilliant run from 1988 to 1994. For a generation of teenage girls, Sassy was nothing short of revolutionary, the signifier of all that was hip and cool . . . a phenomenon that brought the idea of girl power and girl culture into the mainstream." --http://www.writersrevealed.com

"A tragic accident sets in motion a cycle of violence and retribution in John Burnham Schwartz's riveting novel Reservation Road. Two haunted men and their families are engulfed by the emotions surrounding an unexpected and horrendous death. Ethan, a respected professor of literature at a small New England college, is wracked by an obsession with revenge that threatens to tear his family apart. Dwight, a man at once fleeing his crime and hoping to get caught, wrestles with overwhelming guilt and his sense of obligation to his son. As these two men's lives unravel, Reservation Road moves to its startling conclusion. This is an astonishing tale of love and loss, rage and redemption, that is as suspenseful as it is emotionally compelling." --http://www.writersrevealed.com

"Inspired by her relationship with murderer Robert Weeks, Rose Marie Kinder spun real life into elegant fiction. A noted story collection author, Kinder's debut novel about the life of a genteel serial killer Arthur Blume unraveling. The author and I chatted about Arthur Blume - a man who loved his Victorian furniture and meditations on the animal kingdom - a quiet man who had committed monstrous crimes. We discussed the great serial killers, Othello, heavy-handed Gothic's and how to avoid their narrative pitfalls, the consideration of time, compartmentalizing it, Faulkner as an influence, the predatory-prey relationship between mother and offspring in the animal kingdom, Arthur's mother who we first meet as a wild creature - part Medusa, very much Medea, and his relationships with two key characters: Nada, the 70ish aspiring poet who is a sweet, maternal figure, and Grace, his pill-popping colleague and lover" --http://www.writersrevealed.com

"From the author of Family History ("Poised, absorbing ... a bona fide page turner"- The New York Times Book Review) and the best-selling memoir Slow Motion, a spellbinding novel about art, fame, ambition, and family that explores a provocative question: Is it possible for a mother to be true to herself and true to her children at the same time?" --www.writersrevealed.com - This Weeks Book Club Guest Dani Shapiro
