SUMMARY:Helen Phillips with Sarah Rich / The Need
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts Helen Phillips for her new novel The Need. She’ll be in conversation with Sarah Rich. Please join us! \nWhen Molly\, home alone with her two young children\, hears footsteps in the living room\, she tries to convince herself it’s the sleep deprivation. She’s been hearing things these days. Startling at loud noises. Imagining the worst-case scenario. It’s what mothers do\, she knows. \nBut then the footsteps come again\, and she catches a glimpse of movement. \nSuddenly Molly finds herself face-to-face with an intruder who knows far too much about her and her family. As she attempts to protect those she loves most\, Molly must also acknowledge her own frailty. Molly slips down an existential rabbit hole where she must confront the dualities of motherhood: the ecstasy and the dread; the languor and the ferocity; the banality and the transcendence as the book hurtles toward a mind-bending conclusion. \nIn The Need\, Helen Phillips has created a subversive\, speculative thriller that comes to life through blazing\, arresting prose and gorgeous\, haunting imagery. Anointed as one of the most exciting fiction writers working today\, The Need is a glorious celebration of the bizarre and beautiful nature of our everyday lives. \n\nHelen Phillips is the author of\, most recently\, the novel The Need.

SUMMARY:Karl Marlantes
DESCRIPTION:Karl Marlantes discusses his new novel\, Deep River. \nPraise for Deep River \n“Marlantes poignantly depicts the intimacies of personal dramas that echo the twentieth century’s unprecedented political storms and yet in surprising ways reprise Finland’s oldest mythologies…An unforgettable novel.”—Booklist (starred review) \n“Inspired by family history\, Marlantes offers a sprawling\, painstakingly realistic novel about Finnish immigrants in the Pacific Northwest during the first half of the 20th century… Marlantes’s epic is packed with intriguing detail about Finnish culture\, Northwest landscapes\, and 20th-century American history\, making for a vivid immigrant family chronicle.”—Publishers Weekly \nAbout Deep River \nKarl Marlantes’s debut novel Matterhorn has been hailed as a modern classic of war literature. In his new novel\, Deep River\, Marlantes turns to another mode of storytelling–the family epic–to craft a stunningly expansive narrative of human suffering\, courage\, and reinvention. \nIn the early 1900s\, as the oppression of Russia’s imperial rule takes its toll on Finland\, the three Koski siblings–Ilmari\, Matti\, and the politicized young Aino–are forced to flee to the United States. Not far from the majestic Columbia River\, the siblings settle among other Finns in a logging community in southern Washington\, where the first harvesting of the colossal old-growth forests begets rapid development\, and radical labor movements begin to catch fire. The brothers face the excitement and danger of pioneering this frontier wilderness–climbing and felling trees one-hundred meters high–while Aino\, foremost of the books many strong\, independent women\, devotes herself to organizing the industry’s first unions. As the Koski siblings strive to rebuild lives and families in an America in flux\, they also try to hold fast to the traditions of a home they left behind. \nLayered with fascinating historical detail\, this is a novel that breathes deeply of the sun-dappled forest and bears witness to the stump-ridden fields the loggers\, and the first waves of modernity\, leave behind. At its heart\, Deep River is an ambitious and timely exploration of the place of the individual\, and of the immigrant\, in an America still in the process of defining its \n
