Harvard Book Store: HAROLD EVANS , JASON EPSTEIN (December 3 at 6:00pm)
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: JOHN CASSIDY (December 4 at 3:00pm)
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.

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.
