SUMMARY:Preti Taneja reading from her new novel  We That Are Young
DESCRIPTION:We That Are Young \npublished by Alfred Knopf \nA stunning debut novel\, a modern-day King Lear set in contemporary India: the tale of a battle for power within a turbulent family\, for status within a nation in a constant state of transformation\, and for the love and respect of a father disappearing into dementia \nJivan Singh\, the bastard scion of the Devraj family returns to his New Delhi childhood home at the age of twenty-three after fifteen years in the United States. His arrival coincides with the unexpected resignation of the founder and aging patriarch of the Company–its simple name belying its vast holdings across industry and entertainment\, and the family’s national renown. On the same day\, Sita\, Devraj’s youngest daughter\, disappears–refusing to marry the man her father wants for her. Now\, Radha and Gargi\, Sita’s older sisters\, are given the Company–and a brutal struggle for power begins. Set against the backdrop of the anti-corruption protests that spread across India in 2011 and 2012\, We That Are Young is brilliant in its fierce\, incandescent storytelling and the energy of its prose. It tells a deeply insightful tale of India today\, the pace of life in one of the world’s fastest growing economies\, the clash of youth and age\, and the ever-present specter of death. But more than that\, it is a novel about the human heart–and its inevitable breaking point. \nPRETI TANEJA was born in the England to Indian parents and spent most of her childhood holidays in New Delhi. She has worked as a human rights reporter and filmmaker in Iraq\, Jordan\, Rwanda\, and Kosovo\, and her work has been published in The Guardian and openDemocracy. A fellow at Warwick University\, Preti’s 2014 novella\, Kumkum Malhotra\, won the Gatehouse Press New Fictions Prize. She is also the editor of Visual Verse and was selected as an AHRC/BBC Radio 3 New Generation Thinker for 2014. We That Are Young has been shortlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize for first-time novelists \nRead the UK Guardian Article Here !

SUMMARY:An Evening with Sean Penn\, Author of 'Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff'
DESCRIPTION:“Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff” (Atria Books) by two-time Academy Award(R)-winning actor\, writer and director Sean Penn\, is Mr. Penn’s first novel. The darkly humorous book tells the picaresque story of Bob Honey\, a middle-aged\, divorced\, disillusioned man living in a nondescript house on a nondescript street in Woodview\, California. Bob Honey is a man of many trades-sewage specialist\, purveyor of pyrotechnics\, contract killer for a mysterious government agency that pays in small bills. The novel is a revised and expanded work based on an audiobook (no longer available) narrated by Penn and released in October 2016 under the pseudonym Pappy Pariah. \nPenn has been nominated five times for an Academy Award as Best Actor for “Dead Man Walking\,” “Sweet and Lowdown” and “I Am Sam” and won in 2003 for his searing performance in Clint Eastwood’s “Mystic River” and his second in 2009 for Gus Van Sant’s “Milk.” He has worked as an actor\, writer\, producer and director on over 100 theater and film productions. \nAs a filmmaker\, Penn has crafted powerful dramas such as “The Indian Runner” and “Into the Wild\,” which garnered him nominations from the Directors Guild Awards and Writers Guild Awards. He also wrote and directed the US contribution to the compilation film “11’09’01” and engages in political and social activism. This includes his criticism of the George W. Bush administration\, his contact with the Presidents of Cuba and Venezuela\, and his humanitarian work in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina (2005) and the 2010 Haiti earthquake. \nEach ticket includes a pre-signed copy of “Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff.” Additional books will be available for sale at the event for $24 plus tax. Book sales provided by Books Inc. Palo Alto. \nThe evening will be moderated by Anne Elise Kornblut\, a Pulitzer Prize-winning American journalist currently serving as director of strategic communications for Facebook.
