P&P at the Intersection of George Packer's Global Vision

If you walk in the store and turn to the right, you will see this striking, new, visual image that our staff created in response to a recent article in The New Yorker. George Packer describes Richard Holbrooke's work as the U.S. Special Representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan and mentions or references about twenty-five different people who are authorities on various aspects of foreign policy, history, military studies, and political affairs; I was struck by the fact that I recognized that nearly all of them have appeared at Politics & Prose for author events. Again and again, the names kept popping up. Rarely do you read one article that ties everything together. It displays how, over the years, Politics and Prose has become an intersection point for a lot of amazing and enduring thinkers.

It's amazing to be able to say that, because of working here and organizing events, I can not only place, to take one example, Vali Nasr in the context of his work at the Council on Foreign Relations and Tufts University, but I know also his publicists and the other books his publishers at Free Press and Norton are promoting. So when I read George Packer's article, I can put what I've learned about Vali Nasr's ideas together with other puzzle pieces into this larger story about Holbrooke and current American politics. Another time it could be Taylor Branch talking about Clinton's presidency orJane Mayer writing about the CIA's use of predator drones in Pakistan. Read the article yourself,and then click here to examine the impressive list of authors mentioned. You also may have attended their events or read their books. On a daily basis, we host great authors and informed national figures. When I read George Packer's piece, it was clear that Politics & Prose has a bird's eye view of the central story.

I can't wait to meet him again when he returns to Politics & Prose for his event on Wednesday, November 18 to present his new collection of essays, Interesting Times: Writings from a Turbulent Decade. - Mike Giarratano, Events Coordinator

I am halfway through Orhan Pamuk's new novel, The Museum of Innocence - a hard place to be because I'm impatient about being at work, wishing to leave as soon as possible to continue reading.  Pamuk is prominent among Istanbul's literati, and this new volume is sure to increase his stature domestically and globally.  It's not that often that I fall head over heels in love with a novel, but I have with this.  What is even more unusual is, despite a narrator who is a dissembling cad, that same voice succeeds in quickly drawing the reader right into the vortex of the this story of passion, treachery, and guile.  Before the tale is over, I know Pamuk will unveil the actual museum in the title, and I'm sure the narrator will use the museum's exhibits to argue his innocence, but what happens before then, I can't find out until I can get home to finish the book!

Start-Up Nation @ Sixth and I Historic Synagogue
7 p.m. Dan Senor, a business analyst, wanted to know how it is that Israel—a country of just over 7 million, only 60 years old, with no natural resources—produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan or the UK. He and Saul Singer, editorial editor of The Jerusalem Post, attribute Israel’s success to the social networks and leadership training afforded by the nation’s mandatory military service, and to an open immigration policy that continually restocks Israel’s population from people around the world.  They note that the Jewish tradition of questioning also fosters openness and self-criticism. Publishers Weekly says this is a book “not just for business leaders and policy makers, but for anyone curious about contemporary Israeli culture.”

Specter argues that we can’t let rigid ideology prevent us from viewing science with a skeptical eye, balancing its limitations with its potential for improving the world.

(Mexico has agreed to receive Trotsky as a refugee.) After Trotsky’s assassination, Shepherd moves to Asheville, North Carolina, and writes novels during and following World War II.  Shepherd observes America turning inward with fear throughout the late ’40s, a period Kingsolver plainly thinks parallels this past decade.

In addition they reflect on how Maramure, once home to large number of Jews (including Elie Wiesel), has come to terms with its Holocaust history. Drawing on conversations with a wide range of Romanians, the authors have painted a rich and warm portrait of an exciting nation.

5  p.m. Kati Marton, award-winning former NPR and ABC News correspondent, using recently opened archives, investigates the imprisonment of her Hungarian parents during the Cold War. Her journalist parents survived the Nazis but then were arrested and imprisoned as Enemies Of The People by the Communists.

BOOK OF THE WEEK
(20% off through 11/4)

Please come to the Children and Teens' Department to see our wide selection of books about autumn, Halloween and Thanksgiving. This week's email book is Tomi DePaola's celebration of the autumn harvest season.

STREGA NONA'S HARVEST (Putnam, $16.99) is bountiful.  The wise grandmother carefully planned her garden with the assistance of bossy Bambolona and blundering Big Anthony.  Big Anthony, goaded by Bambolona's chiding that he is incapable of creating a perfect garden, secretly plants his own. His harvest is also plentiful, but out-of-control, and Big Anthony's solution is to secretly leave the produce at Strega Nona's door.  The thoughtful Strega Nona channels the abundance to those in need.  Tomie de Paola's art is a feast that will prompt conversation and the opportunity to compare and contrast two very different gardens.  Ages 4 to 8. - Mary Alice Garber

Lisa Chaplin-Hobbs hosts story time for young children every Monday morning at 10:30 a.m.

Geoff Nicholson’s THE LOST ART OF WALKING: The History, Science, Philosophy, and Literature of Pedestrianism takes readers through Los Angeles, London, and New York, with stops in other locales, such as a desert in Australia, the North and South Poles, and even the moon—any place that’s good for a walk. And, as with any stroll, his involve unexpected encounters with interesting and sometimes strange people, as well as offering time to meditate on the great walkers of the past (such as Coleridge and Charles Dickens) and the present (Bob Dylan, Werner Herzog). Nicholson has tracked down a wealth of history and anecdotes about walking, this simplest and most satisfying of hobbies. Available in hardcover, $4.98.

WALL is a beautiful large-format presentation of portions of Andy Goldsworthy’s 2,278-foot stone wall at Storm King Center, a sculpture park on the Hudson. Taken by Goldsworthy and Jerry L. Thompson, the color photographs show the wall in different seasons and from different vantage points. As the landscape changes, so does the wall, and the interactions between the stone and the vegetation create an artwork of their own, one that’s part installation and part performance, part natural and part manmade. It’s a beautiful work. Available in hardcover, $19.98.
