Inge Schaefer will entertain us with tales of Colchester's past, before signing copies of her new book, Chronicles of Colchester. Since its charter in 1763, Colchester has been known for its remarkable early settlers, among them Ira Allen, founder of the state of Vermont, and for its picturesque setting ... (more)on the shores of Lake Champlain. Author Inge Schaefer, well known locally as the founder of the Colchester Chronicle, combines interviews, historical documents and personal research in this series of articles on Colchester's past. Schaefer traces the stories of the town's oldest families, like the Munsons and the Porters, from summer evenings dancing at Bayside Pavilion to the keeping of the Colchester Reef Lighthouse. With a fresh perspective on twice-told tales of school days at Colchester Point, summers at the Brown Ledge Camp and the heyday of Fort Ethan Allen, where the celebrated Buffalo Soldiers briefly resided, Chronicles of Colchester captures the hearty spirit of this Lake Champlain community.

Harvard Book Store is thrilled to welcome restaurateur and new cookbook author DAVID CHANG for a conversation about his new book Momofuku, based on the cuisine at his four beloved New York City restaurants. Never before has there been a phenomenon like Momofuku. A once-unrecognizable word, it's now synonymous ... (more)with the award-winning restaurants of the same name in New York City: Momofuku Noodle Bar, Ssäm Bar, Ko, and Milk Bar. Chef David Chang has single-handedly revolutionized cooking in America with his use of bold Asian flavors and impeccable ingredients, his mastery of the humble ramen noodle, and his thorough devotion to pork. Momofuku is both the story and the recipes behind the cuisine that has changed the modern-day culinary landscape. Chang relays the tale of his unwitting rise to superstardom, which, though wracked with mishaps, happened at light speed. And the dishes shared in this book are coveted by all who've dined—or yearned to—at any Momofuku location.

Harvard Book Store is pleased to welcome LAUREN GRODSTEIN for a reading from her new novel, A Friend of the Family. Lauren Grodstein's second novel, A Friend of the Family, tackles the precarious balance of family expectations and the widely-felt consequences that can result when those expectations are ... (more)interrupted. Pete Dizinoff has spent years working toward a life that would be, by all measures, deemed successful. A skilled internist, he’s built a thriving practice in suburban New Jersey. He has a devoted wife, a network of close friends, and an impressive house, and most important, he has a son, Alec, on whom he’s pinned all his hopes. Pete has afforded Alec every opportunity, bailed him out of close calls with the law, and even ensured his acceptance into a good college. But Pete never counted on the wild card: Laura, his best friend's daughter—ten years older than Alec, irresistibly beautiful, with a past so shocking that it’s never spoken of. When Laura sets her sights on Alec, Pete sees his plans for his son not just unraveling but being destroyed completely. Believing he has only the best of intentions, he sets out to derail this romance and rescue his son. He could never have foreseen how his whole world would shatter in the process.

Harvard Book Store is thrilled to welcome chef-extraordinaire CHRIS KIMBALL along with THE CAST OF AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN for a rollicking discussion of the new The Complete America's Test Kitchen TV Show Cookbook. With the 2010 season, America's Test Kitchen, the beloved (and locally produced) public ... (more)television show, will have been on the air for ten years, offering up fool-proof recipes, tips on what equipment and ingredients to buy, and solutions to the most vexing of kitchen-related mishaps. Tonight we'll look back on the years so far with the entire cast, hear a little about the upcoming season, and talk about the new definitive cookbook, featuring every recipe to have appeared on the show.

Harvard Book Store is pleased to welcome journalist and acclaimed biographer WALTER ISAACSON for a discussion of his new collection of essays, American Sketches: Great Leaders, Creative Thinkers, and Heroes of a Hurricane. In American Sketches, Walter Isaacson reflects on the lessons to be learned from ... (more)Benjamin Franklin, Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Henry Kissinger, Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton, and various other interesting characters he has chronicled as a biographer and journalist. The people he writes about have an awesome intelligence, in most cases, but that is not the secret of their success. They had qualities that were even more rare, such as imagination and true curiosity.

Harvard Book Store is pleased to welcome journalist JOHN CASSIDY for an examination of How Markets Fail: The Logic of Economic Calamities. In How Markets Fail, John Cassidy describes the rising influence of what he calls utopian economics—thinking that is blind to how real people act and that denies ... (more)the many ways an unregulated free market can produce disastrous unintended consequences. He then looks to the leading edge of economic theory, including behavioral economics, to offer a new understanding of the economy—one that casts aside the old assumption that people and firms make decisions purely on the basis of rational self-interest. Taking the global financial crisis and current recession as his starting point, Cassidy explores a world in which everybody is connected and social contagion is the norm. In such an environment, he shows, individual behavioral biases and kinks—overconfidence, envy, copycat behavior, and myopia—often give rise to troubling macroeconomic phenomena, such as oil price spikes, CEO greed cycles, and boom-and-bust waves in the housing market. These are the inevitable outcomes of what Cassidy refers to as “rational irrationality”—self-serving behavior in a modern market setting.

Harvard Book Store is delighted to welcome two lions of the publishing industry, HAROLD EVANS and JASON EPSTEIN, as they talk about their new memoirs. In My Paper Chase, HAROLD EVANS recounts the wild and wonderful tale of newspapering life. His story stretches from the 1930s to his service in WWII, ... (more)through towns big and off the map. He discusses his passion for the crusading style of reportage he championed, his clashes with Rupert Murdoch, and his struggle to use journalism to better the lives of those less fortunate. There's a star-studded cast and a tremendously vivid sense of what once was: the lead type, the smell of the presses, eccentrics throughout, and angry editors screaming over the intercoms. "My Paper Chase[: True Stories of Vanished Times], a refreshing memoir by the venerated editor of London’s Sunday Times and champion of pre-Thatcher British investigative journalism, jettisons hand-wringing over the 'vanished times' of its melancholy subtitle for one man’s unquenchable enthusiasm for his life’s work.... For this son of a middle-class railroad man, the importance of unbiased, responsible, free-flowing reportage is self-evident. If it’s not self-sustainble, that’s a problem for the accountants.... My Paper Chase is the Gospel of Evans, and the gospel makes juicy copy." —The Christian Science Monitor JASON EPSTEIN, the legendary editor and publisher of Norman Mailer, Vladimir Nabokov, Gore Vidal, and E. L. Doctorow, among many other distinguished writers, and the editor of such great chefs and bakers as Alice Waters, Wolfgang Puck, and Maida Heatter, takes us on a culinary tour through his life, beginning with his childhood summers in Maine, where his decision to improve upon his grandmother’s chicken pot pie led to a lifetime at the stove. From the great restaurants of postwar Paris to the narrow streets of New York’s Chinatown today; from a New Year’s dinner aboard the old Ile de France with Buster Keaton to an evening at New York’s glamorous “21” restaurant with the dreaded Roy Cohn, Eating celebrates a lifetime of pleasure in cooking and eating well. "Jason Epstein's cookbook is really a short-story collection, in which the main character, Mr. Epstein, gets on with his life among writers and other hungry people of uncommon interest by cooking for them. It's all a seamless narrative, the tales of Epstein, in an apron at the gates of literature." —Raymond Sokolov (The Saucier's Apprentice)

Harvard Book Store is excited to host local author STEVE ALMOND (Candyfreak, My Life in Heavy Metal) as he reads from his new book, This Won't Take but a Minute, Honey, and discusses why he chose to publish the book using Harvard Book Store's Espresso Book Machine. Audience members will be able to buy ... (more)their own special editions of the book—to be printed up during the reading. This Won't Take but a Minute, Honey is a quirky resource for budding writers, a sort of freaky Strunk and White. Read through in one direction to find tiny little short stories of a page each. Flip the book over and find mini essays on the psychology and practice of writing. Whichever way you look at it, you're sure to find a nugget of inspiration for your next project.

Autobiography Book Discussion Group: “Look Me In The Eye” Wednesday, December 16th @6:30 p.m., Hayward Main Library, 835 C St. at Mission Blvd., Hayward, CA. 94541 (2 Blocks from Hayward BART) This month we will discuss Look Me In The Eye by John Elder Robison. Ever since he was young, John Robison ... (more)longed to connect with other people, but by the time he was a teenager, his odd habits - an inclination to blurt out non sequiturs, avoid eye contact, dismantle radios, and dig five-foot holes- had earned him the label “social deviant.” It was not until he was forty that he was diagnosed with a form of autism called Asperger’s syndrome. That understanding transformed the way he saw himself and the world. A born storyteller, Robison has written a moving, darkly funny memoir about a life that has taken him from developing exploding guitars for KISS to building a family of his own. Contact 510-881-7980 for information.

Monika Zagar, author and University of Minnesota associate professor of Scandinavian studies, will discuss her book, Knut Hamsun: The Dark Side of Literary Brilliance, on Wednesday, December 2 at 4:00 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Bookstore in Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis. ... (more)Zagar refuses to separate Knut Hamsun’s political and cultural ideas from his highly regarded writing in her analysis of this Nobel Prize-winning writer and Nazi sympathizer. Zagar’s work reveals the ways messages of racism and sexism appear in plays, fiction and none-too-subtle nonfiction produced by Hamsun over his long career. By focusing on selected masterpieces, Zagar shows that Hamsun’s support of Nazi political ideals was a natural outgrowth of his reactionary aversion to modernity. Knut Hamsun serves as a corrective to scholarship treating Hamsun’s Nazi ties as unpleasant but peripheral details in a life of literary achievement. Zagar will sign copies of her book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, or to order a signed copy visit www.bookstore.umn.edu/genref/authors.html.

Best-selling author, and host of A Prairie Home Companion, Garrison Keillor will discuss his new book, A Christmas Blizzard, on Wednesday, December 2 at 7:00 p.m. at the University of Minnesota Bookstore in Coffman Memorial Union, 300 Washington Ave. S.E. Minneapolis. A Christmas Blizzard is vintage ... (more)Keillor, a wry, witty look at a contemporary Scrooge that is sure to please. Follow the journey of James and Joyce Sparrow as they struggle with each other, Christmas in general, and their life circumstances. Everything changes when James finds himself snowed-in in a fishing shack during a blizzard where he meets a wolf, the Big Hair Lady, and a Chinese wise man, each attempting to teach him the great mystery of life. Keillor will sign copies of his book following the discussion. This event is free and open to the public. Reserved seating and priority signing placement is available for the first 100 customers who purchase A Christmas Blizzard from the University of Minnesota Bookstore or their web site.
