AVAILABLE NOW The American People, Vol. 1 Search for My Heart by Larry Kramer Read by various narrators In this magisterial novel’s first volume, which runs up to the 1950s, we meet prehistoric monkeys who spread a peculiar virus, a Native American shaman whose sexual explorations mutate into occult visions, and early English settlers who live as loving same-sex couples only to fall victim to the forces of bigotry. George Washington and Alexander Hamilton revel in unexpected intimacies, and John Wilkes Booth’s motives for assassinating Lincoln are thoroughly revised. In the twentieth century, a religious sect tries to exterminate homosexuals, and the AIDS virus begins to spread. Against all this, Kramer sets the tender story of a middle-class family trying to get along in the darkest of times.

“Kramer is a singular force, furious because he cares. He honestly confronts hard, unspoken truths.” —Publishers Weekly (boxed, signature review)

My Grandfather Would Have Shot Me A Black Woman Discovers Her Family’s Nazi Past by Jennifer Teege and Nikola Sellmair Translated by Carolin Sommer Read by Robin Miles When Jennifer Teege, a German-Nigerian woman, plucked a library book from the shelf, she had no idea her life would be irrevocably altered. Recognizing photos of her mother and grandmother in the book, she discovers a horrifying fact: her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the vicious Nazi commandant depicted by Ralph Fiennes in Schindler’s List—a man reviled the world over. The more Teege reads about Goeth, the more certain she becomes: if her grandfather had met her—a black woman—he would have killed her. This discovery sends her, at age thirty-eight, on a quest to unearth and fully comprehend her family’s haunted history.

AVAILABLE NOW The Mercy of the Sky The Story of a Tornado by Holly Bailey Read by Erin Bennett

“I read The Mercy of the Sky with absolute fascination…a quintessential American story. Powerful and moving.” —Douglas Preston, #1 New York Times bestselling author

Oklahomans have long been known for their fatalism and grit, but even old-timers are troubled by the twisters devastating the state with increasing frequency. On May 20, 2013, the worst tornado on record landed a direct hit on the small town of Moore, destroying two schools while the children cowered inside. Oklahoma native Holly Bailey grew up dreaming of becoming a storm chaser. Instead she became Newsweek’s youngest-ever White House correspondent. When Moore was hit, Bailey went back both as a journalist and a hometown girl, and spoke with the teachers who risked their lives, the weathermen more revered than rock stars, and many shell-shocked residents. This is the dramatic story of a town that must survive the elements—or die. • Published to coincide with the second anniversary of the Moore tornado • Will appeal to readers of Douglas Brinkley’s The Great Deluge and Susan Casey’s The Wave

The Spiral Notebook The Aurora Theater Shooter and the Epidemic of Mass Violence Committed by American Youth by Stephen Singular and Joyce Singular Read by Tom Taylorson Mass violence committed by young people has become an epidemic. In just the first fourteen school days of 2014, there were seven school shootings. The reasons behind this escalating violence is the subject of this important book. Here, New York Times bestselling author Stephen Singular teams with his wife, Joyce, for their most important work yet—one that investigates why America keeps producing twentysomething mass killers. Their reporting has produced the most comprehensive look at the Aurora theater shooting yet and draws upon the one group left out of the discussion of violence in America: the twentysomethings themselves.

“Tragic, gripping, and authentic, this book deserves a wide audience.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

AVAILABLE NOW Orson Welles’s Last Movie

The Goshawk

In the summer of 1970, Orson Welles returned to Hollywood and decided it was time to make a comeback movie. It was supposed to take eight weeks to film. It took twelve years. Orson Welles’s Last Movie chronicles the making of The Other Side of the Wind.

When T. H. White was young, he acquired a young goshawk, whom he named Gos. But White had no idea how to properly break Gos in. White kept a daybook describing his volatile relationship with Gos—at once a tale of obsession, a comedy of errors, and a hymn to the hawk.

Stunned, he quickly realizes that the black-hearted woman is going to ruin him again. But luckily for Butch, a group of former legal and law enforcement coots have taken it upon themselves to make sure he doesn’t cross that thin line.

In a narrative that spans geography and time, from the Atlantic Ocean in the seventeenth century to a correctional institute in Texas in the near future, and told from the perspectives of five very different characters, Speak considers what it means to be human. • Drawing on her science background and interest in how the human brain works, Louisa Hall combines science and literary narrative in an intelligent and beautifully written novel in the vein of Alan Lightman’s Einstein’s Dreams and Martin Amis’ Time’s Arrow • Hall vividly reimagines the life of AI pioneer Alan Turing, who predicted the future of computers • Author appearances in Boston, New York City, and Philadelphia

”Speak is that rarest of finds: a novel that doesn’t remind me of any other book I’ve ever read.” —Emily St. John Mandel, National Book Award nominee

Going back to the earliest days of autism research, Silberman provides long-sought solutions to the autism puzzle, while mapping out a path for our society toward a more humane world in which people with learning differences and those who love them have access to the resources they need to live happier, healthier, more secure, and more meaningful lives.

Hollywood, 1934. Prohibition is finally over, but there is still plenty of crime for an ambitious young private eye to investigate. Riley Fitzhugh is hired by a major producer whose lovely girlfriend has disappeared, and he lands a second case when a Monet is stolen—a crime that results in two murders … with more to come.

“Mort makes a fascinating read out of every subject he takes up.”

This collection features seven tales inspired by America’s colorful history, from colonial times to the early twentieth century, including the Newbery Medal winner The Matchlock Gun.

“The best work of its kind. Throbs with life upon a hostile frontier…Touched with local color, lively with dialogue, bright with suspense.” —New York Times on Drums along the Mohawk

Elena Ferrante is one of Italy’s most important and acclaimed contemporary writers. Her true identity is unknown.

The Story of the Lost Child The Neapolitan Novels, Book 4 Translated by Ann Goldsterin Read by Hillary Huber

Through all of life’s happenings, Elena and Lila’s friendship has remained the gravitational center of their lives. Though both once fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up—a prison of conformity, violence, and inviolable taboos—only Elena succeeded. But now she has returned to Naples. Lila has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity to the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect her neighborhood. Nearness to the world she has always rejected only brings her role as its unacknowledged leader into relief.

• This is the highly anticipated fourth installment of the successful Neapolitan Novels, which have received rave reviews from critics and readers alike • Other novels in the series include My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name, and Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay.

The Days of Abandonment Translated by Ann Goldsterin Read by Hillary Huber

Following her mother’s untimely and mysterious death, Delia embarks on a voyage of discovery through the streets of her native Naples searching for the truth about her family. A series of mysterious telephone calls leads her to compelling and disturbing revelations about her mother’s final days. This stylish novel from the author of The Days of Abandonment is set in a beguiling but often hostile Naples, whose chaotic, suffocating streets become one of the book’s central motifs. A story about mothers and daughters and the complicated knot of lies and emotions that binds them, it is a must-listen.

A national bestseller for almost an entire year, The Days of Abandonment shocked and captivated its Italian public when first published. It is the gripping story of a woman’s descent into devastating emptiness after being abandoned by her husband, with two young children to care for. When she finds herself literally trapped within the four walls of their high-rise apartment, she is forced to confront her ghosts, the potential loss of her own identity, and the possibility that life may never return to normal.
