Location: Horchow Auditorium, DMAFamily Lore by Elizabeth Acevedo, National Book Award–winning author of The Poet X, portrays a Dominican American family told through the voices of its women. Flor has a gift—she has an uncanny ability to predict when someone will die. So when she decides she wants a living wake so that she can participate in the celebration of her life, her sisters are worried. Spanning three days prior to the wake, Family Lore traces the lives of each of the Marte women, weaving together past and present, Santo Domingo and New York City, creating an indelible portrait of one family’s journey through their history.
Elizabeth Acevedo is the New York Times bestselling author of The Poet X, With the Fire on High—named a best book of the year by the New York Public Library, NPR, and Publishers Weekly—and Clap When You Land, a Kirkus finalist.
“Family Lore is full of beautiful prose, even-handed magic, and all the pains and triumphs of intergenerational bonds. Tender, moving, and altogether lovely. Not one word is wasted here.” —Kiley Reid

Her social‑climbing mistress demands Luzia use her gifts to win over Madrid’s most powerful players but what begins as simple amusement takes a dangerous turn. Luzia will need to use every bit of her wit and will to survive—even the help of Guillén Santángel, an immortal familiar whose own secrets could prove deadly for them both.

Master storyteller Erik Larson returns with The Demon of Unrest, a saga of hubris, heartbreak, and heroism at the dawn of the Civil War. This suspense-filled narrative illuminates the pivotal five months between the election of Abraham Lincoln and the start of the Civil War—a slow-burning crisis that finally tore a deeply divided nation in two.Larson offers a gripping account of these chaotic months. Drawing on diaries, secret communiques, slave ledgers, and plantation records, he gives us a political horror story that captures the forces that led America to the brink—a dark reminder that we often don’t see a cataclysm coming until it’s too late.
Erik Larson is the author of six New York Times bestsellers, most recently The Splendid and the Vile, which examines how Winston Churchill and his “Secret Circle” went about surviving the German air campaign of 1940–41. Larson’s The Devil in the White City is in development at Disney Studios, and In the Garden of Beasts is in development with StudioCanal and Playtone.

From Pulitzer Prize–winning author Nicholas Kristof, Chasing Hope is a gripping memoir about his life in journalism. Since 1984, Kristof has worked for the New York Times, becoming one of the foremost reporters of his generation. Here, he recounts his path from a small-town farm in Oregon to reporting from Hong Kong, Beijing, and Tokyo, while traveling to India, Africa, and Europe. Kristof witnessed and wrote about century-defining events: the Tiananmen Square protests and massacre, the Darfur genocide in Sudan, and the wave of addiction that swept through working-class America.
This is a candid memoir of vulnerability and courage, humility and purpose—a singular tale of the trials, tribulations, and hope to be found in a life dedicated to the pursuit of truth.
Nicholas D. Kristof has co-authored several books with his wife, Sheryl WuDunn, including A Path Appears, Half the Sky, and Tightrope. Together they were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage of China. They also received the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for Lifetime Achievement. He won his second Pulitzer Prize for his columns on Darfur.
“Nick Kristof is a journalistic exemplar, practicing the art of storytelling in its purest form.” —Katie Couric

In conversation with Cornelia Guest
Location: Horchow Auditorium, DMAKevin Kwan, the iconic author of the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy, presents Lies and Weddings, an outrageous comedy about what happens when a forbidden affair erupts volcanically amid a decadent tropical wedding.
Rufus Leung Gresham has a problem: the legendary Gresham Trust has been depleted by decades of profligate spending, and behind the glamorous façade lies a gargantuan mountain of debt. The only solution, put forth by Rufus’s scheming mother, is for Rufus to attend his sister’s wedding at a luxury eco-resort and seduce a woman with money.
From the black sand beaches of Hawaii to the skies of Marrakech, from the glitzy bachelor pads of Los Angeles to the inner sanctums of England’s oldest family estates, Kwan unfurls a hilarious and thrillingly plotted story of love, money, murder, sex, and the lies we tell about them all.
Kevin Kwan has been named by Time magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. The film adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians became Hollywood’s highest grossing romantic comedy in over a decade.
All tickets include a copy of Lies and Weddings.

An Unfinished Love Story: A Personal History of the 1960s, by Doris Kearns Goodwin, one of America’s most beloved historians, artfully weaves together biography, memoir, and history to portray the emotional journey she and her husband, Richard (Dick) Goodwin, embarked upon in the last years of his life.
The last great adventure of their 42-year marriage involved sifting through more than 300 boxes of letters, diaries, documents, and memorabilia, an unparalleled personal time capsule of the 1960s. This project imbued Dick’s final days with a sense of purpose and afforded them an opportunity to make fresh assessments of the central figures of the time—John F. Kennedy, Jacqueline Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr., Robert Kennedy, Eugene McCarthy, and especially Lyndon Johnson, who greatly impacted both their lives.
Doris Kearns Goodwin’s work for President Johnson launched her career as a presidential historian. Her first book was Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream. She followed that up with the Pulitzer Prize–winning No Ordinary Time: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt: The Homefront in World War II. She earned the Lincoln Prize for Team of Rivals, in part the basis for Steven Spielberg’s film Lincoln, and the Carnegie Medal for The Bully Pulpit, about the friendship between Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. Her last book, Leadership in Turbulent Times, was the inspiration for the History Channel docuseries on Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and Franklin Roosevelt, which she executive produced.
Doris will be available to sign copies of An Unfinished Love Story from 5:15-6:00 p.m. as well as immediately following the event.

Steven Rowley, winner of the Thurber Prize for American Humor, returns with The Guncle Abroad, a charming sequel to his heartwarming bestseller The Guncle.It has been five years since Patrick O’Hara spent the summer caring for his young niece and nephew after their mother’s passing. When his brother announces he’s getting remarried in Italy, the now moody young teens are not thrilled. As they travel through Europe on their way to the wedding, Patrick tries his best to help them understand love, much as he once helped them comprehend grief. But when they arrive in Italy, Patrick is overextended managing a groom with cold feet, a recklessly flirtatious sister, and a growing rivalry with the kids’ charming soon-to-be-launt (lesbian aunt), all culminating in a disastrous rehearsal dinner.
Using his signature blend of humor and heart, Steven Rowley charms with a story about the complicated bonds of family, love, and what it takes to rediscover yourself, even at the ripe age of 50.

PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION
From bestselling historical novelist Tracy Chevalier comes The Glassmaker, a rich, transporting story that follows a family of glassmakers from the height of Renaissance-era Italy to the present day.
It is 1486 and Venice is a wealthy, opulent center for trade. Orsola Rosso is the eldest daughter in a family of glassblowers on Murano, the island revered for the craft. As a woman, she is not meant to work with glass—but she has the hands for it, the heart, and a vision. When her father dies, she teaches herself to make glass beads in secret, and her work supports the Rosso family fortunes.
Skipping like a stone through the centuries, the story follows Orsola and her family as they live through creative triumph and heartbreaking loss, from a plague devastating Venice to Continental soldiers stripping its palazzos bare, from the domination of Murano and its maestros to the transformation of the city of trade into a city of tourists. In every era, the Rosso women ensure that their work, and their bonds, endure.Tracy Chevalier is the New York Times bestselling author of 10 previous novels, including Girl with a Pearl Earring, which has been translated into 45 languages and made into an Oscar-nominated film, a play, and an opera.
All ticket types include a copy of The Glassmaker.

New York Times bestselling author Joyce Maynard returns with How the Light Gets In, the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her beloved novel Count the Ways.
In this heartrending multigenerational story, the indomitable matriarch Eleanor and her family navigate through 15 years as their lives play out against a uniquely American backdrop and the events that transform their world—climate change, the January 6 insurrection, school violence—along with later-life love, parental alienation, and steadfast friendship. With touching insight, Maynard paints an indelible portrait of characters both familiar and new who are making their way over rough, messy, and treacherous terrain to find their way to what is, for each, a place to call “home.”
