SUMMARY:Jonathan Safran Foer
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz presents best-selling and award-winning author Jonathan Safran Foer (Everything Is Illuminated\, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close) for a reading  and signing of his latest novel\, Here I Am. This offsite and ticketed event will be held at Santa Cruz High School Theatre (415 Walnut Ave\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060) and is co-sponsored by Temple Beth El and the UCSC Institute for Humanities Research. Ticket packages (available below) are $19.98 and include two tickets to the event and one copy of Here I Am in paperback (publication date: June 6th). \n“In Foer’s latest novel\, generations of history are laid on the shoulders of one modern Jewish-American family during a time of crisis. So much is endured\, revealed\, and lost that they seem inextricably bound to the reader. At the heart of it all is this: What does it mean to be fully present in one’s life? There are no easy answers\, but I am in awe at the skill with which Foer delves into the heart of familial life.” —Jax\, Bookshop Santa Cruz Staff \nUnfolding over four tumultuous weeks in present-day Washington\, D.C.\, Here I Am is the story of a fracturing family in a moment of crisis. As Jacob and Julia Bloch and their three sons are forced to confront the distances between the lives they think they want and the lives they are living\, a catastrophic earthquake sets in motion a quickly escalating conflict in the Middle East. At stake is the meaning of home—and the fundamental question of how much aliveness one can bear. One of the year’s most anticipated novels\, Here I Am is bestselling Safran Foer’s most searching\, hard-hitting\, and grandly entertaining novel yet. \nJonathan Safran Foer is the author of the novels Everything Is Illuminated and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close\, and the nonfiction book Eating Animals. His work has received numerous awards and has been translated into thirty-eight languages. He lives in Brooklyn\, New York.

SUMMARY:Julia Glass
DESCRIPTION:Julia Glass discusses her new novel\, A House Among the Trees. \n\nPraise for Julia Glass \n“The delight of reading Julia Glass turns out to be the connections we make with her generous characters\, who become as endearing—and exasperating—as the people we love in real life.” —The Miami Herald \n“Sophisticated and surprising. . . . Luminous.” —San Francisco Chronicle \n“Glass’ prose is so lovely and filled with felicitous phrases and insights that when she orchestrates a family reunion\, the reader is apt to just follow along like Kit\, knowing the music is bound to enthrall.” —The Dallas Morning News \n\nAbout A House Among the Trees \nIn Julia Glass’s fifth book since her acclaimed novel Three Junes won the National Book Award\, she gives us the story of an unusual bond between a world-famous writer and his assistant–a richly plotted novel of friendship and love\, artistic ambition\, the perils of celebrity\, and the power of an unexpected legacy \n \nWhen the revered children’s book author Mort Lear dies accidentally at his Connecticut home\, he leaves his property and all its contents to his trusted assistant\, Tomasina Daulair\, who is moved by his generosity but dismayed by the complicated and defiant directives in his will. Tommy knew Morty for more than four decades\, since meeting him in a Manhattan playground when she was twelve and he was working on sketches for the book that would make him a star. By the end of his increasingly reclusive life\, she found herself living in his house as confidante and helpmeet\, witness not just to his daily routines but to the emotional fallout of his strange boyhood and his volatile relationship with a lover who died of AIDS. Now Tommy must try to honor Morty’s last wishes while grappling with their effects on several people\, including her estranged brother; the lonely\, outraged museum curator to whom Lear once promised his artistic estate; and Nicholas Greene\, the beguiling British actor cast to play Mort Lear in a movie. When Greene arrives for a visit\, he and Tommy are compelled to look more closely at Morty’s past\, a process that undermines much of what Tommy believed she knew about her boss–and about herself. As she contemplates a future that will no longer include him\, her unlikely alliance with Greene–and the loyalty they share toward the great man–will lead to surprising upheavals in their wider relationships\, their careers\, and even their search for love.
