SUMMARY:Smut: An Unseemly Story (The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson)
DESCRIPTION:One of England’s finest and most loved writers\, Alan Bennett\, explores the uncomfortable and tragicomic gap between people’s public appearance and their private desires in this tender and surprising story. In The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson\, a recently bereaved widow finds interesting ways to supplement her income by performing as a patient for medical students\, and renting out her spare room. Quiet\, middle-class\, and middle-aged\, Mrs. Donaldson will soon discover that she rather enjoys role-play at the hospital\, and the irregular and startling entertainment provided by her tenants.A master storyteller dissects a very English form of secrecy with this story of the unexpected in otherwise apparently ordinary lives.  Directed by Amy Kossow.

SUMMARY:Sarah Gailey
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Gailey’s wildfire debut River of Teeth is a rollicking alternate history adventure that Charlie Jane Anders calls “preposterously fun.” \nIn the early 20th Century\, the United States government concocted a plan to import hippopotamuses into the marshlands of Louisiana to be bred and slaughtered as an alternative meat source. This is true. \nOther true things about hippos: they are savage\, they are fast\, and their jaws can snap a man in two. \nThis was a terrible plan. \nContained within this volume is an 1890s America that might have been: a bayou overrun by feral hippos and mercenary hippo wranglers from around the globe. It is the story of Winslow Houndstooth and his crew. It is the story of their fortunes. It is the story of his revenge.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Finney Boylan
DESCRIPTION:Nationally recognized civil rights advocate and New York Times-bestselling author Jennifer Finney Boylan discusses her new work of fiction\, Long Black Veil. \nReview Quotes:\nPraise for Long Black Veil \n“This is Boylan’s best book. It’s one of the most eloquent pleas for empathy and moral imagination I’ve ever encountered.\n RICHARD RUSSO\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Nobody’s Fool \n“In the tradition of Donna Tartt\, Jennifer Finney Boylan has crafted a thriller that’s intellectual\, existential\, and compulsively readable. If change is the only constant in life\, how much can a person reinvent himself and still be the same? Long after the last page is turned\, you will be thinking about the nature of identity\, the pull of the past\, and whether you can ever outrun the person you used to be.\n JODI PICOULT\, New York Times bestselling author of Small Great Things and Leaving Time \nJennifer Finney Boylan rewards her fans with a riveting whodunit.The plot shapeshifts along with the unforgettable characters–including a woman whose family could be dismantled by her long-buried secrets. All this is rendered in Jenny’s signature hilarious\, wise and wise-assed prose. Bravo\, Boylan\, bring us another one!\n MARY KARR\, New York Times bestselling author of Liar s Club\, Lit and Cherry
