Simon and Emily look like a couple
that has it all. Simon is a respected
physician, one of Baltimore's "Top Docs,"
with a burgeoning private practice. His wife,
Emily, shines professionally as a partner in
a premier public relations firm. They have a
beautiful house and a healthy daughter. But
their marriage is scarred by old, hidden
wounds. Even as Simon tends his patients'
ills, and Emily spins away her clients'
mistakes, they can't seem to do the same for
themselves or their
relationship.
Simon becomes convinced
he's discovered a cure for chronic pain, a
finding that could become the major medical
breakthrough of our time. With reckless zeal
and obsessive focus, he begins to recruit
patients to test the therapy. As he yearns to
prove he's a good doctor-and to make amends
for a missed diagnosis years ago-he is
oblivious to the pain he's causing at home.
Emily, still struggling to move beyond the
devastating loss she and Simon suffered
fifteen years ago, comes to realize she
hasn't felt anything for a long time-that is,
until a lover from her past reappears and
she's forced to examine her marriage anew.

One day David Small awoke from a supposedly
harmless operation to discover that he had
been transformed into a virtual mute. A vocal
cord removed, his throat slashed and stitched
together like a bloody boot, the
fourteen-year-old boy had not been told that
he had cancer and was expected to die.
In Stitches,
Small, the award-winning children's
illustrator and author, recreates this
terrifying event in a life story that might
have been imagined by Kafka. As the images
painfully tumble out, one by one, we gain a
ringside seat at a gothic family drama, where
David--a highly anxious yet supremely
talented child--all too often became the
unwitting object of his parents' buried
frustration and rage.
David Small
will be introduced by MCAD faculty member
Carrie Hartman and will discuss the book with
Brad Zellar.

Only
the Superrich Can Save Us is a vivid new
novel by political activist and bestselling
author Ralph Nader that answers the question,
"What if?" What if a cadre of superrich
individuals tried to become a driving force
in America to organize and institutionalize
the interests of the citizens of this
troubled nation? What if some of America's
most powerful individuals decided it was time
to fix our government and return the power to
the people? What if they focused their power
on unionizing Wal-Mart? What if a national
political party were formed with the sole
purpose of advancing clean elections? What if
these seventeen superrich individuals decided
to galvanize a movement for alternative forms
of energy that will effectively clean up the
environment? What if together they took on
corporate goliaths and Congress to provide
the necessities of life and advance the
solutions so long left on the shelf by an
avaricious oligarchy? What could
happen?
This extraordinary story,
written by the author who knows the most
about citizen action, returns us to the
literature of American social movements-to
Edward Bellamy, to Upton Sinclair, to John
Steinbeck, to Stephen Crane-reminding us in
the process that changing the body politic of
America starts with imagination.
