concern than the ABAs

decision to pull back on its
educational programming.
Like last year, today kicks
off with morning visits to
publishing offices to meet
editors, but instead of a
full afternoon of programming at the Javits Center
afterward, there is only
one eventalbeit with star
author Jonathan Franzen
before the Adult Book Buzz
panel. This is intended to
give booksellers more time
on the show floor this afternoon. I was thrown for a
loop that there wasnt much
education. Usually I think
the sessions are more
important than walking
the floor, said Lorna Ruby,
adult book buyer at
Wellesley Books in Wellesley, Mass. Suzanne DeGaetano, co-owner of Macs
Backs-Books on Coventry,
in Cleveland Heights, Ohio,
has been coming to BEA for
more than 20 years and was
also disappointed that ABA
scheduled fewer educational sessions. On the other
hand, two and a half days
of show-floor time is more
than plenty for me, she
noted.
Jeremy Ellis, general
manager of Brazos Bookstore, in Houston, said, I
havent gone to educational
sessions at BEA since the
Winter Institute began.
What matters most to him is
meeting with small presses
and visiting bookstores and
publishers in Manhattan and
Brooklyn. Were there for
book business, he said. Its
just not all centered on BEA.
In late May, simply
Kuyper New BISG Chief
The Book Industry Study Group has named Mark Kuyper,

current president and CEO of the Evangelical Christian
Publishers Association, as executive director, effective
June 15.
Kuyper succeeds current executive director Len Vlahos,
who will step down June 12 to join the management team
and, along with his wife, Kristen Gilligan, eventually assume
operational control of the Tattered Cover Bookstores in Denver.
We were pleased to find an association veteran from
within our industry with a long history of success, said
BISG chair Tara Catogge, of Quarto Publishing, who
headed the four-person search committee for the new

executive director. Mark has extensive strategic planning
experience mixed with
both an easy way and a
commanding presence
that members will welcome. His strong vision
and guiding hand is
exactly what BISG needs
at this crucial time in our
development.
Before joining ECPA,
Kuyper was an executive at
the Christian Retail Association, and previously
worked as a sales director
for Nav Press. In addition,
he has served on the BISG
board for the past 10 years.
I am thrilled to join the
team at BISG, said

BookExpo America shifts

to midweek this year, running Wednesday through
Friday rather than Thursday through Saturday as in
years past. The show opens
today, and the change in
scheduling is aimed at making way for BookCon, which
is open to the public this
weekend (Saturday and
Sunday, also at the Javits
Center). This has not
resulted in major changes
for publishers and booksellers in their approach to
the annual event.
Though the exhibit floor
opened at 1 p.m. today, most
publishers expect a normal
first-day turnout. We are
anticipating good traffic
today and very high volume
tomorrow, but think Friday
afternoon could be quieter
than usual, Alison
Lazarus, president of sales
for Macmillan, said. Perseus
Books Group CEO David
Steinberger said he has no
concerns about the new
schedule. Jon Malinowski,
president of the Combined
Book Exhibit, which operates booths for various companies at trade shows, said
that most of the companies
exhibiting with CBE are
adopting a wait-and-see
attitude, although no one
has expressed serious concern. As far as I can tell, it is
business as usual, he said.
Lazarus noted that even
though BEA will be a little
more compact than it has
been in recent years, representatives from Macmillan started meeting with
out-of-town visitors yesterday and will continue today
in the publishers New York
City offices to ensure that
they can see everyone who
wants to meet with us.
To most booksellers, the
new start time is less of a

WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2015
BEAs Opening Act: Jonathan Franzen

Jonathan Franzen, arguably the
most anticipated author at Book
Expo, will be featured at the shows
opening session today to talk about
Purity (Farrar, Straus & Giroux,
Sept. 1), his long-awaited novel
and his first in five years. Franzen
will be in discussion with Laura
Miller, cofounder of Salon.com, in
the Special Events Hall, Room
1E12/1E13/1E14, 12:301:30 p.m.
Indie booksellers will be pleased
to know that Franzen is putting
most of his publicity effort into
supporting their stores. He feels
strongly that independent bookstores should be the focus of his
book tour, says FSG director and
v-p Jeff Seroy. So Jonathan will
use every bit of time we have for
him to visit California, where he
spends much of his time these
days; throughout the Midwest,
where hes from; and in New York.
In addition, nearly all of his appearances will be sponsored and organized by independents. Following
publication, Franzen will go abroad
to promote Purity for his foreign
publishers.
It took Franzen 10
years to write Freedom, his last megaselling novel. It could
be said that Purity,
coming about five
years later but with
nearly the same heft
(576 pages), has
arrived in comparatively record time.
Not so, says Jonathan
Galassi, Franzens
longtime editor and
FSGs president and
publisher. The Corrections came out in
2001, and Freedom in
2010, he says. I think
the numbers are a little misleading, perhaps because once
Franzen homes in on
his subject and
themes he writes his
books amazingly
quickly. Its getting to
the point of commitment that is the
variable.
Purity is about a young woman,
Pip, with an enormous

student debt, squatting in Oakland with
anarchists. Her only
family is her mother,
with whom she has a
troublesome relationship; the identity of
her father is a mystery
to her. Purity, Pips
real name, ends up
following a German
peace activist to South
America to intern in a
political organization.
I think youll see
that Purity is a different kind of novel for
Jonathan, Galassi
says. Its narration is
more plot-driven. Hes
expanded his range
here in a work that is
both richly comic and
deeply searching
and it ranges quite far
in time and geography. Its a family novel, but in a new
kind of way.
FSG announced a first printing of
350,000. To back that up, Seroy says

there will be coverage on national
TV and NPR, and Franzens first
exclusive, in-depth print and online
interview will be with the Guardian,
whose U.S. readership figures are
impressive. This will simultaneously support Fourth Estate, his
U.K. publisher, who is launching
Purity at the same time, in addition
to 10 other countries.
Franzens appearance today is
an all convention event, no
tickets required. Seating will be on
a first-come, first-served basis, and
the room will be set with table
rounds of 10. Attendees are
allowed to bring lunch, since it is
shortly after noon. The room holds
about a thousand people, says
Roger Bilheimer, BEAs special
events director. Its anybodys call
about what time to start standing in
line, but an hour to an hour and a
half before the event might make
sense. Directly after his talk,
Franzen will be signing ARCs of
Purity in the ABA lounge, Room
214.

The impact of Amazon on the book

business is a longstanding, ongoing
debate. But is Amazon good for
readers? Thats the topic of this
afternoons discussion at this years
International Digital Publishing
Forum conference, moderated by
Olive Softwares Joe Wikert. Our
industry has tended to
slant the [Amazon discussion] toward whether
Amazon is good for the
industry in general, says
Wikert, adding that the
panelists will be asked to
leave their corporate
hat at the door and focus
on Amazons consumer
experience.
Joe Wikert
The genesis for the
panel discussion, Wikert says, comes
from his own ambivalence, and
prior bias as a former book publisher against Amazon. Ive been a
Prime subscriber for quite some
time now, and Im both thrilled and
mortified when I see my Amex bill
show up every month with all those
Amazon charges, he says. As a
consumer I enjoy plenty of benefits
that I simply cant get elsewhere.
But I also try to look down the road
a bit and think about what happens
when Wall Street isnt as forgiving,
and will expect Amazon to actually
make a tidy profit each quarter. In
all likelihood, prices have to go up
to make that a reality. And when
they do, will I still be as happy with
Amazon as a consumer?
In addition to this reporter, the
panel will also feature New York
www.bookexpoamerica.com
Magazine contributor and author

Boris Kachka, literary agent Kristin
Nelson, and Publishing Perspectives
editor-in-chief Edward Nawotka.
The discussion certainly comes at
an interesting time: The first round
of post-DoJ e-book contract negotiations are wrapping up. Publishers
are experimenting with
new models, such as
direct-to-consumer and
subscription access.
Library e-book lending
remains a thorny issue.
Self-publishing is maturing. And e-book sales have
flattened and have even
showed declines for some
publishers in recent
quarters.
But remembering the adage that
the consumer is always right, Wikert
hopes to explore what Amazons customer service is delivering to readers, where the pressure points might
lie, and what the future holds for
both Amazon and the book business.
If all youre interested in is getting
your next book at the best price with
the best customer service, well, its
hard to find fault with Amazon,
Wikert says. But how much should
readers be concerned with some of
Amazons practiceswhether platform lock-ins or problems not yet
evidentsuch as the ultimate price
increase to come as competition dies
off, and Wall Street demands Amazon actually earn a steady profit?

Celebrating Hijuelos
His Work Lives On
The sudden death of Oscar Hijuelos
at age 62 in October 2013 was a shock
to the literary world. The widow of
the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer,
Lori Carlson-Hijuelos, knew hed
been working on a novel, but in the
throes of grief forgot about it until
she came across the finished manuscript a couple of months after his
death. She is still very vulnerable
talking about her husband and his
work.
I was in a very bad place right
after his death, she says. I still
am. But I realized that this was so
important. This novel was his last
complete work of art, and my decision to look for a publisher happened quite quickly. I called my
agent that December and said, I
want you to arrange for me to meet
with a number of editors, a very
discerning group, and I will meet
with them in January and February.
And from that group, I will choose
five editors. And thats what I did.
Ultimately, Gretchen Young,
Rachel LaPerle, manager of travel services for PRH,

unpacks a box containing copies of Everything I Need to
Know I Learned from a Disney Little Golden Book.
Grand Central Publishing v-p and

executive editor,
won her over. Carlson-Hijuelos tells Show Daily, Her
fervor and her visceral understanding of what Oscar was doing in this
novel was so clear. It was just above
and beyond all of the others interests. She showed extraordinary
passion, she fought for this novel.
She really did.
Twain and Stanley Enter Paradise
(Grand Central, Nov.) stems from
Hijueloss early fascination with
explorer Henry Morton Stanley,
whom hed first read about as a
teenager. He later discovered that
Stanley was a close friend of Mark
Twain, which set Hijuelos on a journey to find as many references as he
could about their relationship, sparse
as they were. Notes Carlson-Hijuelos,
He decided that hed found very
rich, fertile terrain to explore and
began the novel around 12 years
ago. The book is about two men who

book.
were giants in the 19th century, who

admired one anothers achievements,
who were writers and served as
journalists, who shared a passion
for learning, deplored slavery, and
loved art. The book is a kind of
whirlwind of passions and intrigue
and friendships. She adds, with her
voice breaking, Its also a reflection of Oscars own philosophies
about life, love, family, art, and
death.
At Book Expo today, there will be
a celebration of Oscar Hijuelos and
his posthumous novel at the Downtown Stage, 23 p.m. Lori CarlsonHijuelos will be joined by close
family friends author Gay Talese

and playwright John Guare, who
will read from Twain and Stanley
Enter Paradise. Publishers Weeklys
reviews director Louisa Ermelino
moderates. There will also be a q&a
with audience members.
Carlson-Hijuelos, also a writer, is
a BEA veteran. She is heartened by
Grand Centrals idea to honor her
husbands work here. I remember
when Mambo Kings was presented
to the public, it happened initially
at Book Expo. And Oscar often
talked about that with me, how
thrilling that was for him. I think its
a very beautiful way to introduce
Oscars final complete novel.

New on Nurnbergs
Dance Card
Charles Nurnberg, cofounder and publisher of

Imagine Publishing, and former CEO and
publisher of Sterling Publishing, is developing a
new childrens imprint at Quarto Publishing
Group USA. Moondance Press, slated for launch
in fall 2016, expects to publish 20 titles a year. Nurnberg will leave his post at
Imagine at the end of May, will transition during BookExpo America, and
then officially start work on the imprint in June.
Moondance Press will publish edutainment-quality books that will
entertain and inform children, says Nurnberg. Kids will enjoy themselves,
but will always be learningoften without knowing that they are.
The list will feature nonfiction titles, with a focus on science, nature, and
discovery, picture books, as well as puzzle and activity books. In addition,
the imprint will publish a select number of adult nonfiction books. The new
list, which has not yet been finalized, will consist of new titles, most of them
published in hardcover.
As head of Sterling, Nurnberg oversaw the companys childrens
publishing operations, but became especially steeped in the childrens
market when Sterling acquired Puff, the Magic Dragon, a picture book
adaptation of Peter, Paul, and Marys famous song.
When he left the B&N imprint and launched Imagine Publishing in 2008,
Nurnberg brought Peter Yarrow into the fold, forming the Peter Yarrow
Books childrens imprint. Charlesbridge Publishing purchased Imagine in
2009, and Nurnberg stayed on as v-p and publisher.
Moondance will join Quartos growing childrens program in the U.S.,
which began in 2014 with the creation of Walter Foster Jr. It expanded with
the addition of the Quarto UK imprints Frances Lincoln Childrens Books
and QEB Publishing, now published through Quarto USA. Clare Swanson

Momentum on Social Media Unlocks

Today at BEA, a Chicago web development company called Mess is launching Momentum, a turnkey subscription service that can be used to generate
social media campaigns, and manage and track social engagement.
Promoting books on social media has never been more important.
Momentum offers publishers the ability to create and manage social
unlock campaignsessentially asking people on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or elsewhere to share, retweet, comment, or like a social media page in
exchange for a reward. After a certain number of actions have been
achievedsay 1,000 likes or 1,000 RTsthe publisher will unlock some kind
of desirable content for the fans.
Social unlock campaigns have proven to be successful for publishers,
according to Jack Shedd, director of Made by Mess, the Mess unit that created Momentum. Unlock the One, a social unlock campaign run last year
by HarperTeen, generated more than 300,000 shares around the globe.
Fans of novelist Kiera Casss Selection series were promised the first 10
chapters of her next book if they would share the hashtag #UnlockTheOne.
Publishers can deliver desirable content to fansexcerpts, videos, or any
kind of content rewardand track the activities online in real-time through
social unlocks. But, says Shedd, up until now creating social unlock campaigns and tracking them involved customized coding at great expense.
Our social unlock campaigns were very successful, but our clients had to
pay us a lot of money to do them, he notes.
Shedds companywhich has worked with a variety of large trade publishers over the yearsrebuilt the technology it was using to make it more
robust and cheaper to use. The result, Shedd explains, is Momentum, a subscription service he claims will reduce the cost of managing and tracking
social unlocks. For a monthly fee, Momentum offers a tiered level of services aimed at attracting small presses, as well as big publishers; users can
track one campaign on one network or pay extra to track 25 campaigns on
every network.
Subscribers to Momentum get access to a dashboard that allows them to
easily create and manage social unlock campaigns. The user logs in, clicks
create campaign, indicates which social networks to track, creates a challengechoose to tweet, share, post, like, etc.picks the number of actions
needed to unlock content, and the reward fans will get when that number is
achieved. Next, the user creates a widgeta short piece of code that can be
dropped on any website and show up as an icon offering the social unlock
challenge. Momentum also offers analytics that track down to individual
users and their social media activities and then store all this data from
across every social network.
Momentum will be showing off the platform during BEA at booth

BEA schedule changes continued from p. 1
attending can be tough for booksellers in tourist areas such as Manasquan,

on the Jersey Shore, where the summer season for BookTowne has already
begun. Its owner, Rita Maggio, said, I always find BEA frustrating, with not
enough time to see the authors who are there. She plans to spend a single
hectic day at the show on Friday. And though the midweek schedule works
well for some booksellers, others, such as Tova Beiser, manager of Brown
Bookstore, in Providence, R.I., miss the Saturday option. It means I have
to miss an extra day of the week, she said. Beiser views the show changes
as more about selling than learning. She does plan to place some orders for
sidelines and to find another remainder line.
Many booksellers accept the changes to BEA as reflective of broader
industry changes. Matt Norcross, co-owner of McLean & Eakin Booksellers,
in Petoskey, Mich., said that hes not concerned about the show floor opening midweek. He described it as the evolution of the show and plans to fill
his time doing business. Similarly, ABA board member Sarah Bagby, owner
of Watermark Books & Cafe, in Wichita, Kans., noted, There have always
been choices to make about what to attend. And this year is no different. I
plan to use my time wisely and get my business done.

Purity
Jonathan Franzen (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, booth
3056)
PW review excerpt: Two years out of college, self-conscious, acerbic Purity Pip Tyler is saddled with crushing student loans and an overbearing, emotionally disturbed mother who refuses to reveal the identity of Pips
father. Pip meets the charismatic Andreas Wolf and
lands an internship at his WikiLeaks-like Sunlight Project, based in Bolivia. Franzens greatest strength is his
extensive, intricate narrative webwhich includes a
murder in Berlin, stolen nukes in Amarillo, and a billion-dollar trust. (Sept.)
George
Alex Gino (Scholastic Press, booths 1938, 1939)
PW review excerpt: Gino debuts with the story of fourthgrader George, who knows she is a girl even though the
world sees her as male. With a class production of Charlottes Web on the horizon, George eagerly wants to be
cast as Charlotte the spider. Georges joy during stolen
moments when she can be herself will resonate with
anyone who has felt different, while providing a necessary window into the specific challenges of a child recognizing that they are transgender. (Aug.)

Garth Risk Hallberg (Knopf, book 3119)

PW review excerpt: Hallbergs maniacally detailed
depiction of 1970s New York overflows with urban angst,
intellectual energy, and sinister pitfalls, much like the
city it evokes. This epic of drugs, sex, and rock and roll
centers on an attack on a girl in Central Park, but
encompasses a vast cast of characters with intersecting story lines. Readers wishing to delve into cultural
trivia will find much to savor in this energetic debut.
Day Shift
Charlaine Harris (Ace, booth 3119)
PW review excerpt: Outsiders swarm the sleepy streets
of Midnight, Tex., as supernatural superstar Harris
returns with another practiced out-of-the-ordinary
mystery (following Midnight Crossroad). Local phone
psychic Manfred Bernardo returns from Dallas, where
a client died during a reading; the clients unstable son
accuses Manfred of absconding with the family jewels.
Rev. Emilio Sheehan, eccentric operator of a pet cemetery, takes care of a young boy who grows supernaturally quickly. And a multinational corporation suddenly reopens the abandoned Midnight Hotel, bringing in indigent seniors from Vegas as its residents. (May)
Freedoms Child
Jax Miller (Crown, booth 3119)
PW review excerpt: Boozing, brawling, and fierce but
emotionally fragile, Freedom Oliver has been pissing
away her life in witness protection like someone with
nothing left to loseuntil fate unexpectedly offers her
one last long shot at redemption. Between the gutsy
heroine and gale-force narrative, this debut thriller hits
like a beer bottle to the head. (June)

The Story of My Teeth
Goodbye Stranger
Valeria Luiselli (Coffee House, booth 642)

PW review excerpt: One of the most unforgettable
images in any book this year is that of Gustavo Highway Snchezthe protagonist of Luisellis delightfully
unclassifiable novelwalking around the streets of
Mexico City, smiling at people with the teeth of Marilyn
Monroe installed in his mouthteeth he won at an
auction of contraband memorabilia in a karaoke bar in
Little Havana. This isnt so much a novel as a contorted
collection of narrative yarns, but Luisellis novel so
completely buys into its conceit that its difficult not to
follow wherever it takes you. (Sept.)
Zeroes
Scott Westerfeld, Margo Lanagan, and Deborah
Biancotti (Simon Pulse, booth 2620, RC31)
PW review excerpt: Fantasists Westerfeld, Lanagan,
and Biancotti blend human dilemmas with superhuman abilities as they trace the intersecting lives of six
teenagers with supernatural powers. Dont look for
laser eye beams or the summoning of hurricane winds
in this book. These heroes (or Zeroes, as they think of
themselves) have powers wrapped up in coercion and
manipulation, from the ability to affect the emotions
of crowds of people to a knack for sweet-talking out of
any situation. With action, romance, and thorny ethical
questions, its a book with a little something for everyone. (Sept.)
Rebecca Stead (Random/Lamb, booth 3119)

PW review excerpt: Stead returns to the Manhattan
environs of her Newbery Medalwinning When You
Reach Me to explore the evolving relationships among
a group of seventh-graders. They include Bridge Barsamian, whose brush with death as a child has made
her uncommonly introspective in her adolescence,
longtime pals Tab and Em, and Bridges new friend
Sherm, who writes unsent letters to the grandfather
who abandoned the family. This memorable story about
female friendships, silly bets, different kinds of love,
and bad decisions is authentic in detail and emotion.
(Aug.)
Fuzzy Mud
Louis Sachar (Delacorte, booth 3119)
PW review excerpt: In his latest middle-grade novel, the
Newbery Medalwinning author of Holes blends elements of mystery, suspense, and school-day life into a
taut environmental cautionary tale about the insatiable
hunger for energy sources and the cost of not doing the
right thing. Sachars story follows a small group of students whose trip into the woods leads to an unplanned
encounter with the fuzzy mud of the titlea substance
of unknown (to them) origin that poses serious health
risks to the kids and their community. (Aug.)

Although the big two of comics publishing, Marvel and DC Comics, and a
number of major indie houses, among them Fantagraphics, Drawn & Quarterly, Oni, Archie and Dark Horse, have opted to sit out BEA this yearfear
not, there will still be plenty of comics publishers dotting the Javits Center
floor. And several of the events will also be part of the BookCon scene.
Comics publishers in attendance are bringing along some high-profile
talent, from actor John Leguizamo, who will be promoting a new graphic
memoir for Abrams ComicArts to ever-popular (and bestselling) Scholastic
cartoonists like Jeff Smith and Raina Telgemeier. There will also be plenty
of book debuts, as well as a full slate of comics-themed programming.
Today, at 2 p.m., on the Uptown Stage, PW senior news editor Calvin Reid
will moderate the panel Best in Fall 2015 Graphic Novels, featuring artists
Derf Backderf (Trashed, Abrams), Ben Hatke (Little Robot, First Second),
Jeremy Sorese (Curveball, Nobrow), and Maggie Thrash (Honor Girl, Candlewick). The cartoonists will discuss their upcoming projects and the current state of graphic novel publishing.
At BookCon, on Saturday, at 11:30 a.m. in Room 1A, PW graphic novel
reviews editor Heidi MacDonald speaks to cartoonists Ben Hatke, Jenni
Holm, Jeff Smith, and Raina Telgemeier about
how the popular cartoonists create their work,
while each of the artists draws in front of a live
audience.
Although not exhibiting, Marvel Comics will
be hosting a panel today, at 3:30 p.m., focused on
the recent return of the Star Wars franchise to
the superhero publishing powerhouse. Marvel
editor Jordan White will moderate the discussion with Charles Soule and Alex Maleev, the
writer and artist respectively behind the newly
announced series Star Wars: Lando. Also today,
Marvel executive Daniele Campbell will be on
hand for the panel Reading in the Time of Subscription, in Room 1E07, at 11 a.m.
First Second (booth 3056) is set for a big presence at the show. The Macmillan graphic novel
imprint is championing Zita the Spacegirl
author Ben Hatke, whose forthcoming kids
comic, Little Robot, is set for a September
release (see interview on page 40). Hatke will
also make time in his busy schedule to appear
on BookCons Comics Are Awesome panel at
11:30 a.m. on Saturday, and Graphic Novels: In
the Studio on Sunday at the Macmillan Stage
3139 at 2 p.m. in a behind-the-scenes discussion
along with artists Jonathan Fetter-Vorm and
Pnlope Bagieu moderated by First Second
editor, Calista Brill. Signed copies of the participating artists books will be raffled off at the
ticketed event. First Seconds editorial director,
Mark Siegel, will be joined by Michael Link,
Joseph-Beth Booksellers public relations and
events manager, on Friday at 10 a.m. in Room
1E08 for The Modern Bookstores Graphic
Novel Section, a discussion about how comics
are sold in todays bookstores.
Abrams (booth 2827) is marking BEA with two

as a sanitation worker. Both authors will be signing at the Abrams booth,
Backderf at 3:15 p.m. today, and Leguizamo during BookCon on Sunday at
4:15 p.m.
NBM and its sister company, the kids comics publishing unit Papercutz,
plan to cram a bunch of book debuts into its single shared booth (3065). NBM
will show off previews of Walking Wounded, Uncut Stories from Iraq, by Olivier Morel and Mael; Fires Over Hyperion, by Patrick Atangan; and Religion,
a Discovery in Comics, by Margreet de Heer. Artist Julian Voloj and former
gang leader Benjy Melendez will also be available to promote the recently
released Ghetto Brother, a remarkable comics nonfiction account of how
Melendez brought peace to warring Bronx gangs in the 1970s.
DAY
GRAPHICS
Papercutz, meanwhile, will be promoting a new line of Nickelodeon-branded graphic novels, beginning with the titles Breadwinners and
Sanjay and Craig. The publisher will also be showing off a newly revamped
version of the much missed Nickelodeon Magazine. On top of that, BEA
will see the debut of The Lunch Witch, by Deb Lucke, who will be signing
copies at the publishers booth on Friday at 2 p.m. Review copies will
also be available for Scarlett, by Jon Buller; The Red Shoes and Other Tales,
by Metaphrog; and a reprint of Neil Gaimans Teknophage.
As ever, Diamond Book Distributors, the trade book and pop culture merchandise distributor will play host to a number of independent publishers at
its booth (2740, 2741). This year, the list includes IDW, Top Shelf, Image Comics, Paizo, Valiant, and Lion Forge. The Portland indie Top Shelf will be
debuting Jennifer Haydens breast cancer memoir, The Story of My Tits,
which is set for a September release. Hayden signs galleys of the book Friday at noon, and at BookCon on Saturday at 1 p.m. at Diamonds booth.

The More Crime the Merrier
What could be a more positive sign of a healthy book industry than the launch
of a new publishing venture? Crooked Lane Books, a new crime fiction imprint,
debuts at BEA with its fall titles. The companys editorial director, Matt Martz,
who learned the ropes at St. Martins Press and Minotaur Books, tells Show
Daily that everything began when he and Dan Weiss, now chief publishing
consultant to Crooked Lane Books, brainstormed a
few years ago with John Lippman, Bookspans CEO.
We started thinking that there might be some holes
in mystery publishing in general, and we had a feeling that there were genres that were underserved.
Because of Bookspans direct contact with its readership, they were seeing from some surveys that readers were asking for things that they werent quite
seeing in their submission pile.
Asked for examples, he says, Our readers are
very interested in having more female sleuths,
Matt Martz
female detectives, be they professional or amateur.
They also love to solve puzzles, so we want to make
sure that they have quality-driven reads with that
element in it. And right now everybody is talking
about suspensebe it psychological, domestic, or
romanticthat popped in the research, too.
Crooked Lane Books also has a special relationship
with Bookspan. As Weiss, formerly publisher at
large at St. Martins Press and managing director
and publisher of Barnes and Nobles educational
publishing company, says, Were an independent
Dan Weiss
publishing company that benefits from some of the
book club infrastructure as well as its sales and marketing resources.
Suggesting that some might think it foolish to start up a new company in
this day and age, Weiss laughs and says, First of all, yes, its a little crazy.
Second, we think we have a pretty good shot because we have a good model.
Our books are reader-focused and data-driven, and we also think that given
the decline in the number of bookstores and reviews, our relationships to
the book clubs gives us an opportunity to showcase our titles to a large and
interested audience.
Crooked Lane Books is supporting new and midlist authors, but also went
after some bestselling writers, including Wendy Corsi Staub, whose first
book with Crooked Lane, Nine Lives (with an announced print run of 75,000
copies), out in October, is the publishers first title. I wanted to write a cozy
and branch out from what I usually do, Staub says. I did a hardcover YA
series a few years back based in Lily Dale, a small upstate New York town
populated entirely by psychic mediums. People have been writing me ever
since asking for more, but I knew I couldnt continue that series. This new
story idea presented itself when a stray pregnant cat landed on my doorstep
in June. So I created a heroine whos just an ordinary mom who is led to Lily
Dale by a pregnant stray cat.
Staub, ever the busy writer, is starting a new Mundys Landing series with
Morrow in September with Blood Red and notes that while she loves doing
suspense with that imprint, its nice to also have the opportunity to do a cozy
with this new house: Anything new and fresh is great to be part of because
it feels like theres been so much reshuffling over the past few yearsthis is
real positive news.
Looking to the future, Weiss notes, We hope within five years to be an
important publisher of another category, possibly romance or science fiction, very much like Berkley or Kensington, who we admire.
You can meet Martz and Weiss at their booth (838B), and Staub will be

CHAPTER 2
My Planet Earth
The Biological Clock and its Rythms
Different animal species behave differently

over the course of a day. So-called diurnal
animals are more active during the day,
whereas nocturnal animals are more active
at night. But mixed activity habits are also
seen (M. Cuesta, 2009).
Decisive experiments have made it
possible to demonstrate that several diurnal rhythms originate in an animals own
organism. These are known as endogenous circadian rhythms. In other words,
an animal does not need to be exposed
to the environment for these rhythms to
exist. This indicates that a true biological
clock is at the root of circadian rhythms.
In mammals, the basic component of this
clock is located in small bilateral structures
called the suprachiasmatic nuclei of the
hypothalamus. These nuclei control the
temporal organization of diurnal rhythms
in the entire organism. Each is smaller
than one cubic millimetre in size, but is
made up of approximately 45,000 neurons. The nuclei are found in the centre
of the brain, in the anterior hypothalamus, just above the optic chiasm (Figure
10). Their neurons, among the smallest
in the brain, each have a diurnal activity
rhythm, indicating that the mechanisms at
the origin of circadian rhythms are intracellular. If the suprachiasmatic nuclei of
an animal were destroyed, the animals
daily activity and resting rhythm would
be disrupted. In such a case, transplanting suprachiasmatic nuclei from a foetus
would reset the circadian rhythms, but
with the donors characteristics. Circadian
rhythms are therefore genetically determined. The genetic basis of circadian
rhythms explains in large part the variability seen in sleep habits among individuals.
For example, some people will say they
are morning people or evening people,
depending on whether they like to go to

Marking Memorable Milestones

Heres a preview of anniversaries that several childrens book publishers
are commemorating at 2015s BEA.
Kar-Ben Celebrates 40 Years

In 1975, longtime friends Judyth Groner and Madeline Welker launched a
small Jewish-themed publishing company in Washington, D.C. They called
their venture Kar-Ben Publishing, combining the names of their youngest
children, Karen and Ben. Their inaugural title, Sally Springers My Very
Own Haggadah, made its debut that same year and is still in print, having
sold more than two million copies.
Today, Kar-Ben is an imprint of Lerner Publishing Group, headquartered
in Minneapolis, and is the largest publisher of exclusively Jewish childrens
books in the world. With nearly 400 titles in print, Kar-Ben publishes up to 20
new titles annually on a range of subjects including Jewish holidays, Bible
tales, folktales, Jewish history, and the Holocaust. Among its popular offerings are The Mouse in the Matzah Factory, by Francine Medoff and Nicole in
den Bosch, and The Patchwork Torah, by
Allison Ofanansky, which won the 2015
National Jewish Book Award.
In this anniversary year, Kar-Bens Sammy
Spider serieslighthearted stories of Jewish
life featuring young Josh Shapiro and his family, and the curious spider who observes
themreached a combined sales total of
500,000 copies. Another highlight of 2015 is
the publication of The Wren and the Sparrow,
a Holocaust fable by former U.S. Childrens
poet laureate J. Patrick Lewis.
Publisher Joni Sussman is looking forward
to the imprints future. I dont think the love
of a good story is going away, no matter whether the format is print or e-book,
she says. The Jewish people are historically The People of the Book, and
interest in and commitment to books in our community is stronger than
ever. Even the Torah, while it continues to be read in its ancient scroll form,
is also widely available today in book format, e-book, and even audio.
Visitors to Kar-Bens booth (C1765) can get in on the celebration by picking
up a free 40th-anniversary poster and checking out the publishers four new
titles that focus on Israel: Hare and Tortoise Race Across Israel, by Laura Gehl,
illustrated by Sarah Goodreau, a twist on Aesops fable; Meg Goldberg on
Parade, by Andria Warmflash Rosenbaum, about a girls dream to lead the
Celebrate Israel Parade down New Yorks Fifth Avenue; 3 Falafels in My Pita:
A Counting Book of Israel, by Maya Friedman, illustrated by Steve Mack;
and Colors of Israel, images of Israeli places and objects by photographer

Scholastics yearlong celebration of Graphix imprints 10th anniversary is

well underwayand picking up steam. From its groundbreaking early days
to its current vaunted status as the home to multiple Eisner Award winners
and 14 New York Times bestsellers, Graphix has a lot to celebrate.
When Graphix published the first book in Jeff Smiths Bone series in
2005, there was really no market for book-length childrens comics, recalls
Scholastics David Saylor, v-p, creative
director of trade publishing, and
founder and editorial director of
Graphix. It felt like we were
taking a leap into unknown
territory.
But Saylor was clearly onto
something. Bone went on to
be a huge success (the series
has nearly seven million copies in print), and, he says, my
instinct, based on my own love for
comics when I was a kid, that childrens
books publishers should be publishing comics,
has helped create the robust and varied market for childrens graphic novels that we have today.
As parents, teachers, and librarians began to embrace graphic novels as
enthusiastically as the young readers in their lives, Graphix continued to
sign up an impressive roster of artists and titles. My feeling that creator-driven comics could stir the imaginations of kids and get kids reading
was further realized as we published such talents as Raina Telgemeier,
Kazu Kibuishi, Doug TenNapel, Mike Maihack, Jimmy Gownley, James
Burks, Frank Cammuso, and Jake Parker, says Saylor. Were now in the
middle of a new golden age of kids comics.
At booth 19381939, Scholastic is touting two major September releases
for Graphix: Space Dumplins, by Craig Thompson, the acclaimed graphic
novelists first title for young readers, featuring a girl on a mission to save
her dad; and Sunny Side Up, by the brother-and-sister team of Jennifer L.
Holm and Matthew Holm, a semiautobiographical graphic novel about siblings and family dynamics. The publisher is giving away 500 galleys of each
title. A special 10th-anniversary print created by Thompson is also being
given away during the show.
A Fifth Birthday for Carolrhoda Lab

Carolrhoda Lab, the YA imprint of Lerner Publishings Carolrhoda Books,
will celebrate its five-year mark in August. Known for its boundary-pushing
fiction, the imprint has in a short time solidified its reputation as a leading
publisher of literary teen fare by producing several award winners and
finalists, and earning 37 PW starred reviews.
Were proud of these accomplishments, and we have exciting new books
and plans on the horizon with our new executive editor, Alix Reid, says
Adam Lerner, CEO and publisher of Lerner. Reid took the helm at Carolrhoda Lab (and Carolrhoda Books) in late March. She had been editor-atlarge at Lerner, and came to the company from the position of editorial
director and v-p at HarperCollins Childrens Books.
Carolrhoda Lab will be showcasing seven fall titles at booth 1727, including The Anatomy of Curiosity (a follow-up to The Curiosities), which contains
original novellas by Maggie Stiefvater, Tessa Gratton, and Brenna Yanoff;
Last Night at the Circle Cinema, by Emily Franklin, centering on three teens
who spend the night locked inside a condemned movie theater; and Out of

Silvera Discloses Favorite

New York City Bookish
Haunts
Former bookseller Silvera shares his favorite New York spots.
Adam Silvera, whose first novel, More Happy Than Not, is due from SohoTeen June 2, is a native New Yorker, a former bookseller, and a frequenter of
some Manhattan book lovers attractions that he reveals to BEA attendees
who may not yet know about them.
But first, Silvera shares word of his debut novel, which has garnered
impressive pre-pub accolades. Recipient of four starred reviews, including
one from PW, More Happy Than Not centers on Aaron, a 16-year-old who
wants to undergo a memory-altering procedure that will enable him to forget that hes gay. And what I hope is interesting to readers, says the
author, is that no one is forcing the procedure on Aaronits very much his
own choice.
Though Silvera says that he contemplated trying various genres when he
tackled his first novel, he decided to forego dystopian and high-action
options in favor of what he calls a less commercial, more genuine story. I
wanted my novel to be more self-contained, and to in some ways reflect my
own personal coming-out as a teenager. This is a very personal novel to me,
and though I have other books in the works, they feel a bit more distant.
When Im asked years from now what is my favorite book Ive written, I can
easily foresee answering that it is this one.
Now 24, Silvera notes that his love of literature deepened during his tenure as a Manhattan bookseller, first at Barnes & Noble and then at Books of
Wonder. I feel as though Ive been working toward this moment since I was
19, he says of More Happy Than Nots imminent release.
For those interested in exploring Manhattan beyond the Javits floor, here is
Silveras annotated listing of his favorite literary hangouts.
Books of Wonder: My absolute favorite childrens bookstore in the universe. This bookstore has been around for over 30 years and you must make
it a point to visit or return to this indie to view, and maybe even buy, some of

illness as a result of the Hiroshima bombing in August 1945. Inspired by the

Japanese legend that says if a person makes 1,000 origami cranes, his or her
wish will be granted, Sadako bravely attempted to complete the task as a
wish to save her life, but she died at the age of 12. Her story has sparked
many peace efforts, and a statue of Sadako adorns a memorial in Hiroshima
Peace Park.
Michael Neugebauer, minedition publisher, founder, and designer, notes
that although these titles coincide with a momentous anniversary, it
actually doesnt really matter when such books like Sadakos Cranes or A
Prayer for World Peace are published, as long as they are published.
Neugebauer emphasizes that his companys mission encourages the

development of such projects. Since children have open minds and clear
minds for justice, such information and impressions may stay in them and
be remembered when they are grown up, he says. At minedition, we
believe in the making love, not war philosophy. I am proud to have such
important opinion makers on our list. I do believe that such books contribute to making this world a better place for all of us.

Big Names from a Little Press

Last year, when the South Dakota
Historical Society Press gave away
blads and tote bags promoting its
fall release, Pioneer Girl: The
Annotated Autobiography of Laura
Ingalls Wilder by Pamela Smith Hill,
there were takers, sure, but nothing out of the ordinary. Show Daily
did not receive any reports of
throngs of booksellers fighting over
the swag.
In hindsight, perhaps booksellers
should have mobbed SDHSPs
booth last year. Pioneer Girl has
sold 125,000 copies in five print runs
since its publication. The little
press on the South Dakota prairie
cant even keep up with demand,
which continues unabated.
Sometimes, though, life is fair,
and even booksellers get a

second chance. This year,
SDHSP is raffling off a limited-release copy of
Pioneer Girl: The
Annotated Autobiography,
valued at $175. This special release is a first edition, first printing of the
book and contains a limited-edition print of watercolor artist Judy
Thompsons cover image, Silver
Lake Reflections. These limited-release copies are a fund-raiser for
the presss Pioneer Project, so if
you dont win the raffle, you can still
get your hands on a copy by calling
the press.
This year, SDHSP is also promot-
ing two childrens books written by

another favorite childrens author
whose works were also immortalized on the silver screen, L. Frank
Baum, of Wizard of Oz fame, who
lived for a period of time in
Aberdeen, S.Dak. SDHSP (1464) is

A Story Never Told
Julie Checkoways Three Year Swim Club: The Untold Story of Mauis Ditch
Kids and Their Quest for Olympic Glory (Grand Central, Nov.) follows the
life of Japanese-American grammar school teacher Soichi Sakamoto
(19061997), who turned dozens of impoverished schoolchildren into worldclass competitive swimmers. Checkoways agent will talk about her book
on todays Buzz Panel, in Room 1E12/1E13/1E14, 4:155:30 p.m.; and she
will be at the Downtown Stage tomorrow, 1010:45 a.m., with the other

How did you find this story?
Id just finished my documentary [Waiting for Hockney] and was working
as a staff writer at the Salt Lake Tribune, on the lookout for a story that was
about great people whove made a difference in the world. My friend and
agent, Eileen Cope, called and said, I just heard this story. Do you think its
true? There was no scholarly material at all, no mention of the swim club
in books. Sakamoto innovated some of the significant

methods by which we still teach competitive swimming
techniques, and his swimmers went on to be Olympic
and world champions. I wondered, why dont we know
that story?
Why dont we?
Sakamoto was incredibly modest. He was also busy
coaching until fairly close to the end of his life. And he
was never encouraged to see himself as a voice in
the vaster narrative about competitive swimming, although he brought many Olympians to
the games and his name was mentioned in
Colliers, Time, Newsweek. Its also the
story of a team,, and none of its members
felt it was their place to tell it.
What made you decide to take it on?
Several original members [of the club]
were still alive, and they or their chil-

the right to do it? Im a New

story, and they were so generous in
telling it. There was a collaborative

It sounds like more of a massive
editing project than a writing project. How did you keep focused?
I tried to see the key moments and
turning points in terms of personal
stories and the historical context,
then figure out, where do they
intersect? It was overwhelming and
the material was voluminous, and I
had to learn how to cut through the
noise. Contemporarily, were critical of the press and how inaccurate
it is, but they were pretty inaccurate back then. It was only by triangulating on multiple sources that I
was able to find out what happened,
say, at a particular swim meet.
How much material did you wind
up finding?
At least 5,000 sources and at least
3,000+ photographs. Its crazy. What
I hope to do is put a bibliography up

Melissa Cistaro
Picking Up the Pieces
Melissa Cistaro, the events coordinator at Book Passage in

Corte Madera, Calif., has lived a childs worst nightmare: she
and her two brothers were abandoned by their mother, who
drove off in a car one day and didnt come back. The children
at the time were all under the age of five.
Its a story that wouldnt let me go, Cistaro says of Pieces of
My Mother (May), her memoir of growing up with a mother
who was physically absent from her life, except for intermittent visits during her childhood. The two finally reconnected
when, as an adult, Cistaro spent six days at her dying mothers
bedside. I didnt always feel like I had a choice in telling my
story. I needed to tell people. I could do nothing without telling the story, she says.
A lot of the compulsion to write Pieces of My Mother was driven by Cistaros own experience of motherhood and her fear that history would repeat
itselfas it so often does to those
who forget the past. Becoming a
mother, Cistaro says, made her
confront daily the sadness of growing up without a mother, she says. I
needed to make sense of how my

motherhow any mothercould leave her child. Plus, there

was an added tragic element: Cistaro feared that she might
herself end up leaving her own three children and perpetuate
the cycle. I come from a family of women who were abandoned as children, Cistaro says, disclosing that her paternal
grandmother was dropped off at a convent when she was two
years old, and that her maternal grandmother had died
young, drinking herself to death. Did I have a leaving gene?
she asks.
While she says she didnt start out writing Pieces of My
Mother as a form of therapy, it ended up being therapeutic.
She may never know if she does or doesnt have a leaving
gene, she says, but, just like Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, she
made a discovery that was even more important. I always
wanted to go back home, but what I was looking for was inside
of me the whole time, she says.
Cistaro signs copies of Pieces of My Mother today at 2 p.m. in the

On the Run
During a Thanksgiving meal in

2010, CNN correspondent Tom
Foreman was surprised when his
then 18-year-old daughter, Ronnie,
asked him to run a marathon with
her that spring. It really daunted
me. I was 51 and I thought that my
marathon days were behind me. I
wasnt sure I could do it with my
schedule and lack of fitness at the
timeI was sitting like a manatee
on the sofa!
Even though he hadnt run in
more than 20 years, he took up the
challenge. He and his daughter
researched a training regimen on
the Internet and began training in
earnest the next day. We had a few
basic principles, like you must run
exactly what the schedule says,
because we knew we needed that
discipline. She went back to college
where she was studying aerospace
engineering at Georgia Tech, an
incredibly tough field of study. And
Im juggling a job that can be ridiculously demanding on time. But we
stuck to the schedule and texted or
spoke almost every day about our
progress.

This is a riveting true story full of danger

of five hours, coming in together at 4:45:01. Says Foreman, Crossing the finish line was the best finish to any race ever because she was with me, and I
could see the pride in her face despite her exhaustion.
The experience got him so hooked on running that over the course of the
following year, he ran four half-marathons, three marathons, and one
55-mile race. Writing about his experience in My Year of Running Dangerously (Blue Rider Press, Oct.) grew out of what he learned about himself
during the training and race experience. This was a reawakening process.
As I went through it, I thought, This is a really nice story. I wrote this for the
middle of the packers, for all of us out there who struggle to make ourselves
go out the door on days when its too cold or miserable, whether its running,
bicycling, or anything we ought to do because we know its healthy. Its easy,
as you get older, to get buried under work and concerns about our families
and responsibilities, and make all of life revolve them. I found through this
process of getting back to running that theres much more to life.
And hes still at it. In fact, coinciding with his pub date, Foreman is running five marathons in Maryland and New York City the week before he

Kate Gavino is almost literally the poster

woman for authors and independent bookstores. She shows her love by going to readings, and, inspired by what she sees and hears,
she illustrates authors with quotes of theirs
that strike her. Her first book, Last Nights
Reading: Illustrated Encounters with Extraordinary Authors (Penguin, Nov), is her ode to
bookstores and authors.
She first got the idea to make the drawings
at a reading by Junot Daz back in 2013. Gavino
started a Tumblr blog (also called Last Nights
Reading) to share these drawings, and since
then it has grown into a robust blog with hundreds of followers. Some of them ask her for
book recommendations (which she happily
supplies with hand-drawn covers in a slideshow: Its one of my favorite
things to do). She started out going to two or three readings per week, and
in the blogs first year, posted 150 drawings. Now she attends four or five
readings a week.
Gavino went to art school, where she studied mostly creative writing,
which makes her a kind of hybrid artist/writer. She is a champion of bookstores and authors, and believes live events add another element to why
you love that book. When you find out that the author has an amazing personality, is very intelligent or has insightful things to say, it adds another
dimension. Her book, kind of a graphic essay, is based on her Tumblr, but
with new drawings, about half of the drawings not on the blog. She says
they showcase The New York literary scene, the quirks of going to readings, weird things that happen, like when I met Toni Morrison and couldnt
think of anything to say to her. She keeps a map of all the book readings
she goes to, and every time I add a new pin, I feel like I know the city a tiny
bit better.
Gavino loves experimenting with form and uses multiple panels (comic
book style) to showcase longer quotes or amazing stories that authors tell.
The book makes it clear she is a lit lover. Its really my love letter to bookstores. They are just as important to me as the authors. If youre lucky, you
can catch her out and about in New York City; she recently spent a couple
of hours at the Strand, drawing customers with their favorite books.

Debut Author on Fire
Garth Risk Hallberg is surprisingly low key for

an author whose debut novel, City on Fire
(Knopf, Oct.), sold for just under $2 million in a
two-day, 10-bidder auction and has been
selected as one of this years Buzz Picks. The
Social Network producer Scott Rudin bought
film rights, and rights have been sold in 17
countries to date, including U.K. rights to
Jonathan Cape for six figures.
Money is the only topic that makes Hallberg,
a contributing editor for The Millions, anxious
as he talks about the background for his 900page meganovel about New York City, the
1977 blackout, punk rock, and the fiscal crisis.
The idea, he says, came to him more than a decade ago when he was riding a Greyhound bus from Washington, D.C., to New York. As the bus drove
through the swamplands of New Jersey around lunch time, Hallberg
watched New Yorks post-9/11 skyline emerge. That skyline, seen from that
angle, had thrilled me when I was a teenager, riding that same bus route to
visit the city. And this was the first time Id seen firsthand, by daylight, what
it looked like without its anchor, he says.
After Hallberg got off the bus, he filled a page of his notebook with ideas
for the novel. To be honest, how big it already was sort of scared me. I knew
I would come back to it someday, he says. By fall 2007, Hallberg felt up to
the task, even though he was teaching at both Hofstra University at Lincoln
Center and Fordham University in the Bronx at the time.
When Hallberg began work on his self-described triple-decker novel
about the length of his favorite three-volume Victorian novels, Bleak House
and Middlemarchhe regarded it as unpublishable, which made him freer
to experiment. He wrote longhand in big orange gridded notepads.
jordan alport
Garth Risk Hallberg
Many of the characters had come to Hallberg earlier. But it took several
months to devise the novels seven-book structure, which alternates the
19761977 period with earlier times, themselves broken up by brief interludes in the 1960s and 1970s. Some of the structural stuff around the books
precipitated out of reading Bolaos 2666, Hallberg says.
The first draft of City on Fire took three years, and the birth of Hallbergs
first child, to complete. No worthy problem is solved on the plane of its
original conception, Hallberg says, quoting Einstein to explain why he
thought having kids (he has two) would give him something deeper for the
storys ending. The completed novel took another three years of revising.
Clearly, it was worth the effort.
Hallbergs editor will be talking about the novel at todays BEA Buzz
Panel, Room 1E12/1E13/1E14, at 4:155:30 p.m., and tomorrow he will join
his fellow Buzz authors on the Downtown Stage, 1010:45 a.m. He will sign
afterward, 11:30 a.m.12:30 p.m., at Table 4 in Knopfs booth (3119), and galJudith Rosen
leys will be given out tomorrow and Friday in the booth.

Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it fueled

This is the fourth graphic novel from Hatke,

men and women and of nations large and small; and to promote the prosperity of all humankind. The Charter is the cornerstone

flips a switch on top of the dome shape and a robot unfolds. After a temporary fright, she helps the robot right itself and they take a step together. In
that moment, she crosses the line to being responsible for this little thing,
Hatke says. Its an adventure, but also a meditation on friendship and summertime.
The project is the first hes crafted with very beginning readers in mind,
Hatke notes. It grew out of a random visual of a little robot who had one
piece fall off, and then it all fell apart. Hatke had been writing the story as a
newspaper-style comic strip in his sketchbook and posting the strips on his
blog for the past few years. I did 30 of them and realized this guy is definitely a character, he says. The robot appeared in an early draft of his 2014
picture book, Julias House for Lost Creatures, but then he drifted over into
his own story.
Much of Little Robot is drawn from life, notes Hatke, informed by lots of
walks near his Shenandoah Valley home, and also helped along by a special
art modelthen six-year-old Julia, one of his five daughters. While I was
drawing, Id ask Julia to do some gestural things and poses like squatting
down, things that are very unique to how a child moves, he recalls. His children are a reliable test audience for his work now, says Hatke: Ill read to
them around the kitchen table, and eventually Ill say, Lets have some dinner and finish the story later. If they say, No, no! Tell it now! I know Ive got
something.
A first-timer at BEA, Hatke is looking forward to todays Uptown Stage
graphic novel author event, 23 p.m., and Fridays CBC Speed Dating lunch.
This afternoon, 45 p.m., hell autograph copies of Little Robot at Table 4.

Margee Kerr

Every Halloween, hordes

descend upon Pittsburghs
ScareHouse, wandering
through its elaborately chilling
sets in search of adrenaline-spiked terror. But beyond
the ghouls, darkness, and
oppressively tight spaces,
chances are there is a woman
hidden behind the walls, monitoring the panic and startled
jumps of visitors. That would
be Dr. Margee Kerr, the University of Pittsburgh sociologist, whose forthcoming book,
Scream: Chilling Adventures
in the Science of Fear (PublicAffairs, Oct.), is a manifestation of her eye-opening days at
ScareHouse.
I was getting my Ph.D. in
medical sociology, working on
my dissertation, and I was
about to explode. Ive always
turned to places like amusement parks and haunted houses when Im
stressed, so I went to ScareHouse on opening day, recalls Kerr. I had so
much fun and knew I wanted to be involved with it, so I asked the owner if I
could work there. With my background I started analyzing data, and as I
looked at the surveys I started to see fear from a different perspective.
Before it had always been that fear is this toxic force. Instead, this was flipping the coin and seeing how people engage with fear for entertainment.
The book is Kerrs attempt to show readers that partaking of thrilling
activities can be amusing, and enlightening as well. One of the things I
learned is how much we grow when we push ourselves beyond our comfort
zones. I really did experience a personal transformation, and I want everyone to do something they are afraid of and see what happens as these emotions develop in the moment, Kerr says.
There is a distinct, three-pronged process most visitors to the haunted
house undergo, Kerr points out, and that usually begins with astonishment,
followed by screams. Once they determine there is no real fear, they tumble into laughter. Its what made me start thinking in my research agenda
that fear is just a process, a conversation between our automatic reflexes
and our brain. As soon as our brain realizes its safe, we reappraise the situation.
Kerr has such a solid grasp on the sociological forces of fear that she
walks through ScareHouses sets with the artists in tow, pointing out how
the addition of, say, certain tactile and auditory elements can heighten the
rooms disturbing appeal for patrons. I also suggest sounds and smells.

Challenging the Reader
44
Ottessa Moshfegh has a solid reputation as a

short story writer, so her first novel, Eileen
(Penguin Press, Aug.), is sure to draw some
attention. She has discussed her love of short
story writing in interviews, but the process of
writing a novel held some surprises for her.
This was a different experience from writing her
award-winning novella, McGlue. I learned so
much. I learned to have faith, that there is a
larger thing taking shape than Im aware of. I
learned how challenging I can be [to the reader]. She believes its important
to challenge the expectations of readers used to the traditions of novel writing.Eileen is a gritty story about a young woman, inspired by a true story in
the documentary film Lost for Life, about juveniles serving life sentences in
prison. Moshfegh says, That story stuck with me. I wanted to expose the
inner workings of the inner mind of an abused person. She set the book in
1964 because, she says, I wanted the element of a very conservative society
right in your face. Eileen lives with her dysfunctional father, has no
friends, no real relationships. She has a serious eating disorder, and is
jordan alport
Pete, an Irish Wheaton Terrier, was

Maira Kalmans first and, to date,
only dog. Kalman, the author and
illustrator of multiple books depicting dogs, many that seem inspired
by Pete, a dog admittedly with more
personality and looks than brains,
has written Beloved Dog (Penguin,
Oct.), an essay on family life with
Pete and the lessons she learned
from him. Pete became my muse.
He became my constant companion, says Kalman.
Kalman didnt grow up with dogs.
She was even terrified of them. Her
family, and the culture in which she
grew up, taught her not to trust
them. Yet during a time when her
husband, Tibor, became ill and her
children were young, she brought in
the pup that would become the family distraction. When you are around a dog that you love, this great compassion, kindness and empathy comes out of youunconditional lovethats
an incredible thing to feel, to be the recipient of and to give. It really does
inform your other relationships.
During Petes ongoing training, he chewed up Kalmans shoes, some
books, a pair of rubber gloves, and even her prized camera. She was able to
forgive him everything. For Kalman, it was similar to bringing up a young
child. Youre in the moment. Focused. You forget every other thing, she
says. And, when you walk [a dog] you are doubly encouraged to enjoy the
moment: its meditational.
After her husbands death in 1999 and Petes death in 2011, Kalman finally
felt she could broach the subject of Petes role in their lives. Pete brought
out some of the best in me, another side of me, but I do have to reserve some
of that for my family.
What about another dog for Kalman? Clearly besotted by dogs, right now
Kalman is busily multitasking and traveling, but looks forward to a time
when it makes sense. In the meantime, there are the many dogs she sees
and falls in love with when she takes her daily walk.
Beloved Dog includes a compilation of Kalmans many different paintings
produced over the years for books and magazines, including several New
Yorker covers. Today at 2 p.m. she signs a poster of an illustration from the
Linda T. Mead

charmed, while others may find this character unsympathetic. She is no

Moshfegh says Eileen is both the heroine and the villain of what she calls a

Well-known TV meteorologist Al Roker,

cohost and weather anchor of NBCs Today
show and cohost of the Weather Channels
Wake Up with Al,, covers major storms all
over the country. In 2005, while
covering Hurricane Rita in
Galveston, Tex., everyone
talked about the most disastrous hurricane in the
countrys history, which
hit the area in 1900, killing 10,000 people and
causing millions of dollars worth of damage.
Roker says, It was
one of those things
that you file away in
the back of your
mind. Ive always
been a fan of Eric
Larson, whos about as
good as it gets when it
comes to taking an event
and making it live. I always
thought it would be cool to
do something like that.
And so he has. The Storm of

delves into the impact this cataclysmic event had on a major
metropolis on the Gulf Coast. Its a
really sprawling storythere are all
these parts that come together. You
love for an historical event to be fascinating with such amazing characters
that it almost reads like fiction.
The competition for newspaper
supremacy between the two great newspaper figures of the time, Joseph Pulitzer and
William Randolph Hearst, especially caught
Rokers attention. William Randolph Hearst
sends in this fantastic reporter, Winifred
Black. She originally wanted to be in the theater and used those talents to get the story.
She disguised herself as a guyas one of the
relief workers going into Galveston when the
word gets out about this disaster because
nobody is allowed in except people who are

and reporters, to get into the area.

Roker points out that 1900 weather forecasting and politics played a
role in what happened. There were no weather satellites or radar. There
were weather balloons and barometric readings, the basics. And in the
Caribbean, you had to rely on information from Cuba, which had the most
advanced telegraphic network in the area. But due to some political issues
and professional jealousies after the Spanish-American war, the War
Department and the U.S. Weather Bureau shut down the telegraph lines
leading from Cuba to the United States. Cuba actually forecast that the
hurricane would strike somewhere within a 100-mile vicinity of Galveston.
But the U.S. Weather Bureau didnt have that data and thought the storm
would follow the normal curve out of the Caribbean over Florida, jump
along the Atlantic coast and pass harmlessly out to sea. Had they allowed
the Cuban forecast to come out, it would have saved thousands of lives.

Many saw umpire Jim Joyces blown call at first base that denied Detroits
Armando Galarraga a no-hitter in 2010 as a travesty and led to baseball

incorporated years earlier.

Peter Langman
Making School Safe
Psychologist Peter Langman became an expert on a difficult aspect of

human nature when he started evaluating potentially violent students in
the immediate aftermath of the devastating 1999 Columbine High School
shootings. To make some sense out of why school shootings continue to
occur, he wrote School Shooters: Understanding High School, College and
Adult Perpetrators (Rowman & Littlefield, Jan.). Langman believes that
there are ways to prevent this kind of violence from recurring.
Lockdown drills are good in terms of safety, he says, but they dont do
anything for prevention. Schools need to develop threat assessment teams to
train people within the school about the warning signs of potential violence.
Thats one of the most distressing aspects of studying these cases. There were
warning signs that [other] kids knew about, but they didnt come forward.
We need students to recognize these signs of potential threats and learn
what to do with them.
Using court records, police reports, personal journals, and social media
postings, Langman analyzes 48 shooters in his book. He explains that these
people generally falls into one of three categories. One is psychopathic,
someone without a conscience who is very narcissistic, meets his own needs
at the expense of others, lacks empathy, and believes that rules and laws
dont apply to him because hes special. Then theres the psychotic. This is
someone who is not fully functioning in reality and has a psychotic disorder
such as schizophrenia. They may have paranoid delusions or delusions of
grandeur, and often have poor social skills and are misfits. The third category is what I call traumatized shooters. These are kids from broken homes,
having alcoholic, drug-addicted parents. There is domestic violence, physical and emotional abuse, and sometimes sexual abuse as well. They bounce
around from parent to parent to grandparent, sometimes in and out of foster homes, so theres chronic instability and trauma in the form of one type
of abuse after another.
While Langman targets his book for professionals in education, law enforcement,
and mental health, as well as anyone interested in school safety, he tells Show Daily,
This book is also for people who are interested in the criminal mind or true crime
stories, who want to know what to do about
violence. In almost every case I looked at,
theres a long trail of warning signs, and if
we as a society educate our professionals,
parents, and students, we can do a lot more
to keep everybody safe.
Today, at 1 p.m., Langman signs copies of

Reading on a Roller-coaster
Karin Slaughter, who recently announced a

four-book publishing agreement with HarperCollins, returns to BEA to sign the first in
the deal, Pretty Girls (Sept.). Having spent
years writing thrillers from the POV of her
investigators, in Pretty Girls Slaughter
focuses on the other side of a police investigation: how it affects family and friends.
Crime ripples through communities in subtle ways. I wanted to discuss that and explore
how people heal themselvesor not.
Heeding the advice she gives new writers,
Slaughter followed her passion to create
Pretty Girls. I clearly remember when I
came up with the idea. I woke up from a
very vivid dream and scribbled the basic plot on some index cards I keep by
my bed. I do this a lot, and usually I wake up the next morning and think, no
one is going to believe a giant squid stole a baby, but with Pretty Girls, I completely saw how the book would work. I not only knew what these characters were going to do; I knew the how and the why.
When it comes to the whatas in what Slaughter hopes readers feel in
reading Pretty Girlssuspense is at the top of her list. First and foremost, I
hope that readers get a roller-coaster ride of a read, because thats what I
wanted to do with the story: shake people, scare them, entertain them, and
make them think about the story long after its over. Slaughter is also seeking a deeper connection. I wanted to write characters people actually like,
because I think the antihero trend has crossed over into hateful people its
hard for a reader to be interested in. I wanted readers to think about Claire
and Lydia as people they want to spend some time with.
At BEA, the people Slaughter is eager to connect with include old friends

and her publisher. One of her favorite BEA memories is all those librarians
carting around 60 pounds of books. Librarians are a huge inspiration to
Slaughter; she put a librarian in Pretty Girls to thank all the librarians who
inspired me to be a readerwhich is what inspired me to be a writer. She is
also grateful for interacting with readers at the show. I love that its more

course, with a foodie protagonist like Thorvald and a setting like Minnesota,
props include quintessential culinary delights particular to the region that
will surely warm the hearts of any readers lucky enough to have partaken of
such delicacies: lutefisk, hotdish, and [dessert] bars.
Stradal says that he wanted to hang his story around food because, he
confesses, he has always been intrigued by the dichotomy of Midwestern
cuisine and because food is so central to peoples lives. Growing up in the
1980s, Stradal remembers meals from his childhood as bland and boring,
with an emphasis on processed foods from packages. He describes the current state of Midwestern cuisine as traditional, but in recent years theres
been a confident stride toward eating local and organic foods. Minnesotans are now conscientious of their food choices in a way that wasnt true
when I was growing up, he says. Its interesting to me to set this novel in
the context of this culinary revolution.
In a way, he says, this new emphasis on eating fresh foods hark back to an
earlier era: one of his main sources in conceptualizing the old-school
meals prepared by Thorvald in her pop-up restaurants was a spiral-bound
book of recipes compiled by the church ladies at the Lutheran church his
grandmother attended in Hunter, N.D., west of Fargo.

The author of series starring Scaredy Squirrel and Chester the cat, Mlanie Watt showcases a considerably smaller creature in Bug in a Vacuum
(Tundra Books, Aug.). The premise is not exactly standard picture book
fare: a bugs life changes with the click of a switch when he flies through an
open door and is sucked into a vacuum cleaner bag. Trapped in the darkness, he moves through denial, bargaining, anger, despair, and acceptance
as he comes to terms with his uncertain fate.
This is definitely a departure for me, says Watt of her latest work. It
took me in a totally different direction. The author hatched the story idea
while spring-cleaning her Montreal home. I realized I had vacuumed a
few bugs, and began trying to put myself in their place, she recalls. I figured they must still be alive in the bag and began wondering what was happening to themand if they were upset in there. I ended up emptying that
bag right away for sure.
As authors are wont to do, Watt decided to turn that quotidian incident
into a storyand was inspired to use Kbler-Rosss five stages of grief as a
model. I wanted to introduce those different emotions without being too
dark, which was a real challenge for me, she notes. I didnt want to focus
necessarily on grief or death, but to use the concept to make it relatable to
kids, and show them how to deal with lifes challenges or surpriseslike
the bug who finds himself in a vacuum.
Watt also took her art in a new direction in
Bug in a Vacuum, which she created with various media and assembled in Photoshop. I
like to challenge myself and do something
visually different with each book or series,
she says. My new book has a different look
than the others, and is loaded with layers of
different textures. My files were so big that
the project really strained my computer.
The author signs ARCs of Bug in a Vacuum
today, 22:30 p.m., at Table 3, and later will
visit the Penguin Random House Canada
booth (3151) to greet fans. Shes looking forward to introducing booksellers to her new
book, which has been long in the coming.

The actual making of the book took more than a year, but my initial idea
for it dates back quite a long time, she remarks. When you have characters like Scaredy Squirrel and Chester that people want you to continue
with, you tend to hold off on new kinds of books. But Im very happy that this

Dan Marshall
You Can Go Home Again
54
Booth #R420
One cant help thinking that Dan Marshall

would be Dave Eggerss and David Sedariss
literary love child, if they were to have one. In
Home Is Burning (Flatiron Books, Oct.), Marshalls debut memoir, he recounts dealing with
his fathers diagnosis of A.L.S. eight years ago,
when Marshall was just 25 years old. Not only
did Marshall have to leave the life hed built for
himself in L.A. after graduating from college,
but he was returning to Utah, a place he
thought hed left forever, except for family visits. On top of having to deal with his fathers
terminal illness, Marshall and his four siblings,
who ranged from their teens to mid-20s, had
always lived with the knowledge that their mother was battling cancer. And
did we mention that the Marshalls were the only non-Mormon family on
their street in Salt Lake City?
We were spoiled assholes, still trying to figure out who we were, and how
to be adults, Marshall says of himself and his siblings. And we had to make
a switch that usually comes later in life, when youre in your 30s, 40s, or, if
youre lucky, your 50s. It was surreal, Marshall recalls of the two years
between his fathers diagnosis and death, seeing the transformation of a
marathon runner into an invalid. The rapidity of the disease, that was part
of the shock, he says. And as anyone with brothers and sisters knows, there
was all that sibling drama. My older sister and I, we hated each other, he
recalls, hastily adding that now they are incredibly close.
Those two years may have been difficult, but there is a silver lining to
every cloud: not only did his siblings emerge from it a family united, but
their neighbors, who previously had not wanted anything to do with people
who guzzled hooch and peppered their conversations with profanity, now
embraced them. Our neighbors were so kind to us after dad got sick. They
brought over food and were so friendly, he says. It used to be us versus the
Mormons. We made peace with them. And their mother is still alive.
Flatiron is giving away galleys of Home Is Burning at the Macmillan booth
(3056, 3067) today at 2:30 p.m. Marshall will also be one of the authors featured at the Buzz Panel, in Room 1E12/ 1E13/1E14, at 4:155:30 p.m. Tomorrow he is on the Downtown Stage, 1010:45 a.m., with the other Buzz

A West Side Wilderness

Wake up a little earlier for a memorable stroll along the High Line, a former
elevated railway turned green space, perched over the streets of western
Chelsea. You can stroll, sit, and picnic 30 feet above the city, enjoying stunning vistas of the Hudson River, public art installations, wide lounge chairs
for soaking up some sun, and willowy stretches of native-inspired landscaping. (There are various access points between 30th Street and 14th Street
near 10th Avenue, www.thehighline.org.)
Barefoot in the Park

European coffee kiosks, alfresco chess games, and lolling on the grass (while
engaging in the discreet art of people watching): this is what skyscraper-hemmed Bryant Park is all about. Nestled behind the show-stopping
New York Public Library building, its a whimsical spot for a little time-out
from the Midtown madness. (42nd Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues,
www.bryantpark.org)

For kimchi and karaoke, its hard to beat Koreatown, aka Little Korea.
Mainly concentrated on 32nd Street, with some spillover into surrounding
streets both south and north of this strip, its a Seoul-ful jumble of Koreanowned restaurants, shops, salons, and spas. Authentic BBQ is available
around the clock at many of the all-night spots on 32nd Street. For succulent
dishes with stellar views, book a table at Gaonnuri, on the 39th floor of a
Koreatown skyscraper. (1250 Broadway between 31st & 32nd Streets, 212971-9045, www.gaonnurinyc.com)
Knockout Drinks
Although the rough and tumble of Times Square is a distant memory, you
can still find a few drinking dens that evoke the bygone days of the neighborhoods colorful past. Jimmys Corner is a welcoming dive bar off Times
Square owned by an old boxing trainer, as if you wouldnt guess by all the
framed photos of boxing greats (and lesser known fighters, too). (140 W. 44th
St., between Sixth and Seventh Avenues)
NoMadic Dining
Sharing the same name as the celebrated hotel it inhabits, NoMad has sealed
its rep as one of Manhattans culinary highlights. Carved up into a series of
distinctly different spacesincluding a see-and-be-seen Atrium, the stately
old-world Parlour, and snacks-only Librarythe restaurant is the hipper,
(slightly) more relaxed sibling of Michelin-starred Eleven Madison Park. The
menus are eclectic, Eurocentric, and, true to chef Daniel Humms reputation, just a little playful. (1170 Broadway at 28th Street, 347-472-5660, www
.thenomadhotel.com)
Dockside Views
Salvaged from the bottom of the sea (or at least the Chesapeake Bay), the
Lightship Frying Pan and the two-tiered dockside bar where its parked are
fine go-to spots for a sundowner. On warm days, the rustic open-air space
brings in the crowds, who come to laze on deck chairs, eat burgers off the
sizzling grill, drink ice-cold beers, and admire the fine views across the
Hudson to, uh, New Jersey. (Pier 66 at West 26th Street, 212-989-6363, www
.fryingpan.com)
Portal to Another World

One of the most immersive theater experiences ever conceived, Sleep No
More is a loosely based retelling of Macbeth set inside a series of Chelsea
warehouses that have been redesigned to look like an abandoned hotel. Its a
choose-your-own-adventure kind of experience, with audience members
free to wander the elaborate rooms (ballroom, graveyard, taxidermy shop,
lunatic asylum) and interact with the actors, who perform a variety of scenes
that border on the bizarre and the risqu. (McKittrick Hotel, 530 W. 27th St.,
between 10th and 11th Avenues, 866-811-4111, www.sleepnomorenyc.com)

Prometheus Books takes special

pride in its Top Fall Priority authors;
this year the focus includes two
writers who are also lawyers. Mark
Pryor, assistant district attorney in
Austin, Tex., has had great success
with his Hugo Marston series from
the Seventh Street Books imprint.
While keeping his series going, he
has a surprise for his fans this
September with the release of his
first standalone book, The Hollow
Man. Ive always been interested
in psychopaths and sociopaths, and
it let me delve into some areas that
were a little bit darker. Like Pryor,
the main character is British and a
prosecutor in Austin, Tex.
Pryor came to BEA for the first time
last year. The folks at Prometheus
warned me that it was big and busy
and crowded, but I grew up on a farm
in the English countryside, Im not
used to that sort of thing. They kept
saying, Have a look around and go
explore. It was terrifyingbut I
had fun. I basically hid behind the
desk and signed books and met lots
of really nice people.
Allen Eskens is at BEA for the first
time. An earnest criminal defense
attorney in Minnesota, his first book,

The Life We Bury (Seventh Street
Books, 2014), made quite a splash
last year, earning awards and making him a finalist for the Edgars Best
First Novel. The Guise of Another
(Oct.), like his first book, was inspired
by a case he was working on. I had
a client who died in a car accident,
and in a wrongful death action you
have to find all the relatives and
then sue on behalf of the surviving
family members. This woman had a
mysterious pastit went to a cer-

The Roses Trilogy
sabrina@sabrinaseidner.com
As China is this years guest of honor at BEAs Global Market Forum, it is

fitting to recognize Tuttle Publishing, the largest English-language Asian
publisher in the world. Sales and marketing director Christopher Jones
notes that the company was founded in 1948 by Charles Tuttle, an American
who was part of MacArthurs reparations effort for Japans library system.
[Tuttle] wanted to bring Asian culture to the Western world to expose the
positive things about their culture. Back then [the publisher was] focused
on Japan, but we have expanded into Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, and
the Philippines, and smaller countries as well; weve been dedicated to
bridging East and West ever since.
In 2010, Tuttle struck up a relationship with Shanghai
Press, which has more than 150 active titles in English,
including some bilingual publications. This spring Tuttle
helped the press release the first English-language edition of a book written by a sitting Chinese leader since
Chairman Maos Little Red Book. The Governance of
China by President Xi Jinping is a collection of his
speeches, interviews, and correspondence. Another
Shanghai Press title just released is The Complete Guide
to Chinese Horoscopes.
The Chinese Institute, a nonprofit bicultural organization headquartered in New York City, forged a relationship with Tuttle last year. They are very dedicated to
exposing Western audiences to daily life in China with a
focus on what is now called the Palace Museum, but was
once called the Forbidden City, Jones says. These are
fun books exposing kids of different ages to Chinese culture as seen through a place that was the center of all
Chinese culture for many hundreds of years. Two titles
in the series debuting this fall are What Was It Like, Mr.
Emperor and Bowls of Happiness. The Chinese Institute
really put themselves out there over the last year with
book events, Jones adds, working with libraries and
schools, a huge marketing effort that has impacted our
library numbers and our independents.
Learning Chinese is another important subject for
Tuttle. Jones says, We do the gamut from phrase books
such as Making Out in Chinese [part of the popular
Making Out series emphasizing colloquial language],
which helps people through rudimentary dating conversationsall the way up to textbooks in basic Chinese
speaking and writing. Chinese has definitely been a priority in language
departments around the United States. From Tuttles fall list is a major
release: Chinese Characters Made Easy. Its a wonderful visual guide to
Chinese characters, he notes. Theyre almost impossible to learn, but
there are tricks to it, so that you can learn them visually and phonetically.
Its basically a coffee-table book of Chinese characters with fun illustrations
behind each one to help you learn the language.
Looking back over some of the big titles that Tuttle has put out over the
years, Jones mentions that the most important series was the Bruce Lee
Library. That continues to be a cornerstone of our backlist because Bruce
Lee is still the #1 major martial artist in the world. When he passed away, his
widow wanted to find a publisher for all of his journals and technique books.
She went to his library and looked at the bookshelves and there was Tuttle on
almost every other book. So she contacted us. The biggest sellers are Bruce
Lee Striking Thoughts and Bruce Lee: The Art of Expressing the Human Body.
Another key area for Tuttle is Asian cooking. Jones uses himself as an
example of how far Chinese cooking has come in America. We have this
idea that we can go out and have Chinese food once a week, but we cant
make it ourselves. Our mission as a publisher is to demystify that. So we
have Easy Chinese Recipes by Bee Yinn Low, a sort of Rachael Ray 30 minutes or less idea, because were all busy and we dont have time to make
two-hour meals. People are surprised that you can find the ingredients you
need at your local supermarketyou dont have to go to a Chinatown or
buy it online. I am proof positive that this is true. I didnt cook any Asian
food before I came to Tuttle and now I do some variety of Asian cooking
once a week with my family.
Jones says its gratifying to see how the companys Chinese titles have
grown. There are 250 active backlist titles and 20 to 30 new Chinese titles
released every year in a variety of categories including fiction, childrens
books, current affairs, language, and culture. We dont just have one childrens book about China, we have 10. We have 30 Chinese-language textbooks. The national chains like Costco and Barnes and Noble have changed
as well, reflecting far more of our titles than they used to three or four years
Hilary S. Kayle
ago. Its nice to be part of that diversity.

Places to Eat Near Javits
Tired of convention food? There are plenty of places for a quick (and good)
bite within walking distance of Javits. Heres a sampling provided by Skyhorse Publishing from one of its new titles, Not for Tourists: Illustrated Guide
to New York City. Stop by its booth (745) to see this book and the other titles
the press is featuring.
Gotham West Market: This is not the food court you grew up with. Featuring
a variety of gourmet food vendors from ramen and tacos to tapas and ice
cream, this foodie heaven makes the perfect lunch destination. (600 11th
Ave., between 44th and 45th Streets, 212-582-7940)
Print Restaurant: Featuring a rotating menu of seasonal and sustainable
cuisine, this eatery is a welcome refuge in this part of Manhattan. Head up
to the rooftop lounge for a pre- or post-meal cocktail. (653 11th Ave.,
between 47th and 48th Streets, 212-757-2224)
Market Diner: Sometimes you want a fancy meal served up by a celebrity chef.
Other times you just want to sit at a counter or in a booth for some simple
grub like a BLT or a western omelet. Welcome home and enjoy the classic
diner atmosphere. (572 11th Ave., between 43rd and 44th Streets, 212-244-2888)
Daisy May BBQ: Step up to the counter at this BBQ joint for messy (and
tasty) eats in a casual setting. Dont leave without trying a gigantic beef rib
that would make even Fred Flintstone happy. (623 11th Ave., between 45th
and 46th Streets, 212-977-1500)
Trestle on Tenth: An excellent representation of Chelseas dining scene,
this restaurant is hip, local, and offers a tight-knit menu of delicious New
American fare. Highly recommended. (242 10th Ave., between 24th and 25th
Streets, 212-645-5659)
Kava Cafe: Get your brunch on or just hang out with a cup of coffee and
fresh pastry. You can also dig into a full breakfast on weekday mornings.
(470 W. 42nd St., near 10th Avenue, 212-239-4442)
Hallo Berlin: Ever eat in a beer garden next to an authentic piece of the
Berlin Wall? Didnt think so. Heres your chance to sip giant steins of
German beer and enjoy the best wurst in the city. (626 10th Ave., between
44th and 45th Streets, 212-977-1944)
Pio Pio: This Peruvian restaurant is known for its perfectly moist rotisserie
chicken. It also serves up other South American specialties, like ceviche
and unique beverages. (604 10th Ave., between 43rd and 44th Streets, 212459-2929)
Taboon: You dont have to settle for typical midtown lunch fare during BEA.
Case in point: this Middle Eastern restaurant has great food and is also a
good bang for your buck. (773 10th Ave., at 52nd Street, 212-713-0271)
Cafe Grind: This neighborhood breakfast and lunch spot is a friendly little
oasis in midtown. It also makes quality espresso for those who need their
caffeine fix. (477 10th Ave., between 36th and 37th Streets, 212-279-4100)
Where Bibliophiles Can Enjoy a Drink
To celebrate prints everlasting power in a fast-paced era dominated by Kindles, pay a visit to one of these five haunts that both conjure New Yorks literary past and prove its still very much thriving.
Blue Bar: The 1920s, when The Vicious Circle convened at the Algonquin
Hotel for a double bill of Round Table lunch and laughter, were glorious
years at this classic Midtown hotel. Today, ensconced in the circa-1933 Blue
Bar, you can almost feel the vibrant spirits of Dorothy Parker, Franklin
Adams, and Robert Benchley while sipping a potent gin martini amid the
artwork of Al Hirschfeld. (59 W. 44th St., between Fifth and Sixth Avenues,
212-840-6800, www.algonquinhotel.com/blue-bar/)
Petes Tavern: A visit to this Gramercy staple is typically inspired by the simple desire to wash down a mammoth burger with a pint. Yet this watering
hole, which dates from 1864 (there are warring claims about whether its the
citys oldest drinking establishment), was once frequented by wordsmiths. O.
Henry, the short story master born William Sydney Porter, was a regular
here when it was called Healys, purportedly penning The Gift of the Magi
in one of its booths. The original rosewood bar also lured Ludwig Bemelmans, where he dreamed up the whimsical Madeline series. (129 E. 18th St.,
between Irving Place and Third Avenue, 212-473-7676, petestavern.com)
White Horse Tavern: Its rich bohemian past may no longer be as robustly
apparent, but back in the 1950s and 60s, this West Village mainstay teemed
with writers like Dylan Thomas, who famously imbibed here just before his
death, and James Baldwin. Plans for the countrys most well-regarded indie
newspaper, the Village Voice, were even hatched here. Sit outside with a
beer like all the other revelers drawn to this animated saloon, and its easy
to see why Jack Kerouac also kept returningand getting kicked out. (567
Hudson St., between W. 11th and Perry Streets, 212-989-3956)
The Half King: Owned by writers Sebastian Junger and Scott Anderson, as
well as director and producer Nanette Burstein, the Half King is an inviting
Chelsea pub with a quiet back garden, where you can enjoy homey fare like
lamb shepherds pie. (505 W. 23rd St., at 10th Avenue, 212-462-4300, theAlia Akkam, adapted from Newyork.com

Quartos Rock Point Offers Books-plus Kits and Cards

In 2013, Quarto Publishing Group, USA, launched
a gift program to complement and expand its book
list. Its now adding to that
program with the Rock
Point imprint, a new line
of gifts, kits, and stationery items. Along with
Quartos powerful growth
into childrens publishing, says president and CEO Ken
Fund, the gift line has expanded
the entire publishing program into
a broader range of stores and outlets, further diversifying our
wide-ranging account base beyond
traditional bookstores, while
simultaneously increasing Quartos
product line within traditional
stores.
Designed as stylish gifts for those
living creative and passionate lives,
Rock Point titles include Lindsey
Bugbees Learn to Create ChalkStyle Notes, which offers techniques
for creating alphabet styles that allow
anyone to personalize journals, school
supplies, jars, and cards, and Lacy
Mucklow and Angela Porters Color
Me Stress-Free: 100 Coloring Tem-
plates to Unplug and

Unwind (Sept.), a Zen coloring book for grownups
who need to relieve tension and avoid burnout,
illness, or even worse.
The visionary behind
the Rock Point imprint is
Rage Kindelsperger, who
helped create the proprietary kit program at
Barnes and Noble and bn.com. Kindelsperger works directly with artists to create gift books, cards, notebooks, and kits, focusing, she says,
on undiscovered talent like London-based artist Andrew Fox [his
Learn to Draw Calligraphy Animals
is out in July] and developing
licensed products such as the
up-and-coming animal humor
brand, From Frank. While Kindelsperger admits the gift market is
crowded, not many companies
are in the kit or book-plus area, so
upping the selection here allows
us to bring something fresh to the
market. Now that what Im creating
is no longer proprietary, I want to
spread the book-plus products to
retailers across the market

Strides in Content Management
The latest news coming out of Ixxus, publishing and media specialists, is its partnership with Inkling, which is aimed at delivering off-the-shelf integration of Inklings
Habitat publishing platform with Alfrescos content management system. The
Inkling-Ixxus connector will allow clients to access and manage digital assets stored
in Alfresco through Inklings authoring environment. It will also enable teams to
store and manage fully composed digital documents in Alfresco for compliance and
approvals, as well as access from downstream systems. Ixxus is the only global
reseller of the Alfresco system.
Benefits of the Ixxus-Inkling connector for users include creating e-books and
publications using approved assets directly from Alfresco CMS; manage, store, and
author content in an integrated platform from any device; having enhanced trackability and analysis of used assets, as well as powerful and efficient search, discovery, and reuse of content. Given that Inkling powers content development at many

Algonquins Latest Stars

Algonquin Books is at BEA with
some heavy hitters on its fall list.
Newcomer Ron Childress, 2014
PEN/Bellwether Prize winner for
And West Is West (Oct.), is the first
male winner of the prize since its
inception in 2000, when it was known
as the Bellwether Prize. Algonquin
has published the prizewinners
since 2008. Craig Popelars, director
of marketing and sales for Algonquin, says, When we get that manuscript, theres that in-house sense
of discovery. And West Is West is
such a topical
book, about drone
strikes and the
ramifications of
what happens
when technology
and warfare intersect.
Theres a lot of excitement about
B.A. Shapiros next book, The Muralist, a November release that combines mystery, history, and the art
world of Mark Rothko, Lee Krasner,
and Jackson Pollock at the dawn of
WWII. Her previous Algonquin book,
of the largest publishers in the world while Ixxus provides

publishing solutions to 40% of the top 20 largest publishers
in the world, it was a no-brainer to bring our worlds
together, says Ixxus CEO Steve Odart, whose teamsin
London and Bostonwork with Pearson, Penguin Random
House, Cengage Learning, and Oxford University Press.
The partnership, according to chief innovations officer
Paul Twelftree, is in line with what he sees as a move by
more publishers toward one-stop content storage that is
more granular to enable easier discovery, reuse, repurpose,
and monetization. Publishers also want tools that allow
them to try new things with their content in a quick, easy,
and low-risk way. So we are strategically partnering with
many publishers to help them think more proactively, and to
transform the way they work to be more agile, flexible, adap-
The Art Forger (2013), was a huge

success, with 400,000 copies in print
and still selling. One of the things
that I really love about Barbaras
writing, Popelars says, is she takes
you into something, into the art
world, into a certain period of time,
a certain place, and after you read
tive, and market responsive.

For Dorling Kindersley, for instance, Ixxus developed a
customized, cloud-based application that archives around
7,000 products; allows for cross-platform granular and scalable discoverability; and opens up potential for content
reuse, new products, and additional revenue streams. Ixxus
now manages the platform, which uses Alfresco, Amazon
SQS, ElasticSearch, and MongoDB technologies.
For Pearsons global English-language teaching division,
the task was to define, design, and implement a content
management and collaboration platform using Alfresco,
MarkLogic, and custom Ixxus components. The four-month
deadline saw Ixxus working across two publishing centers
(London and New York) to carry out testing and training.

it, you want to learn more about

what she wrote about.
Coming this September is Jonathan Evisons This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance. Popelars notes, Hes
nothing but trouble. Were surprised that we can get him here,
that his parole officer allowed him
out of state, even. Of course Im joking, but everyone in the business
knows the energy that Johnny
brings wherever he goes. In Evisons latest novel, Harriet Chance,
at age 79, goes on an Alaska cruise
set up by her late husband. The
whole Inside Passage is really Harriets inside passageshes reflecting on the trajectory of her life from
being a child to now being a widow.
But theres humor, too. Johnny
understands that you have to have
some ballast in the boat. To get
through the grief or loss, you have
to be able to get to the next day by
having that humor and clarity.

A Remarkable Publication Journey

Reba Riley remembers her 29th
birthday wellshe was weeping
on the floor of her closet while
friends and family waited to help
her celebrate.
That closet experience prompted
her to make a decision to take back
some of the power in her life, which
was racked by physical and spiritual pain. I realized that as sick as
my body was, my spirit was sicker. I
had been ignoring the spiritual
pain for a decade, but physical illness takes away the ability to
ignore things. I was desperate.
Riley decided to test/visit/try 30
different religions before her 30th
birthday. She learned about Scientology; spent a day with the Amish
and attended a church service:
took part in a tribal sweat ceremony; and visited a Buddhist temple, an Islamic mosque, and Jewish
synagogue. Not to mention
churches from all manner of Protestantism, Catholicism, Mormonism, and even Wicca.
I discovered that the Godiverse
will meet you wherever you are or
arent. Gods love is bigger than
everything, bigger than all the
boxes we try to put around it, says

Riley, who turned 33 in mid-May. I
had been looking for God in the
mirror, in the reflection of the religion I was raised with, and in others reflections of God. But God is
the light in all of these different
religions, not the darkness we see
in them.
Then came the decision to write a
book, which took a good portion of
four years and included 18 months
of editing with the help of a professional editor. Riley also blogged
about her experiences, which is
where Chalice Press found her. Her
blogs prompted Chalice to offer her
a contract, which she signed in
November 2012. Post-Traumatic
Church Syndrome was scheduled
for April 1 from Chalice.. But the
books fortunes took another turn
when Riley found an agent negotiate certain rights she hadnt given
Chalice.Kathryn Helmers, managing partner of Creative Trust Literary Group, in Nashville, met with
Riley based on recommendations
from Rileys editor. I was struck by
what a funny and poignant writer
she was, says Helmers. By the
PRIMARY
B&W USAGE
time I finished the manuscript, I

realized what an extraordinary
writer she is. Helmers took her on
as a client, knowing her book
should have a bigger reach than a
small publisher could offer or, perhaps, handle if the book became
the success Helmers knew was possible. Thus began a delicate dance
between Chalice, who gave Helmers permission to talk to other publishers, and the one publisher
Helmers knew would catch the
books vision.
The title caught our eye right
away, says Jonathan Merkh, publisher of Howard Books, a division
of Simon & Schuster. We were asking why we hadnt thought of this
term before. Then we saw how
beautiful, funny, and whimsical the book was, and that

cemented it. This was a
golden opportunity for us.
Howard Books bought out the
contract from Chalice,
tweaked the title, created a
new cover, gave it a quick
edit, and will release
Post-Traumatic Church
Syndrome: A Memoir of
Humor and Healing in 30
Religions in August. I think Reba
Riley has tapped into what a lot of
people are feeling, said Merkh.
Its the kind of book that will have
people sharing it with their friends;
theyll laugh about it, but also be
moved about what it says and
totally get it.
The book is endorsed by Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray,
Love, and William Paul Young,
author of The Shack; Riley is touring with Young starting in May.
Howard Books is giving away
copies of the galley for Post-Traumatic Church Syndrome at the
Simon & Schuster booth (2620, 2621)

other, a new presence on the

range of titles stretches the boundaries of what is considered popular

ally bestselling author of 11 novels,
including Restless and Any Human
Heart. He believes his newest,
Sweet Caress: The Many Lives of
Amory Clay (Sept.), is perhaps my
most candid novel, when it comes
to the big themes: sex and desire,
family and lovers, life and death.
A tale of love and war, its told
through the lens of the extraordinary career of photographer
Amory Clay and moves from 1920s
Berlin and 1930s New York to WWII,
as Clay becomes one of the first
female war photographers.
Boyd researched the lives of many,
now mostly forgotten, women
photographers from the 1920s to
the 70s, and found their audacious,

fascinating, free-wheeling natures
an inspiration. One surprise for
readers will be the several dozen
found black and white photographs
stitched, says Boyd, into the
narrative of a novel. Its highly
unusual, if not unprecedented,
but it seemed right that we should
see something of Amorys work,
and the people who were close to
her.
He will sign on Friday at the Hot
Fall Fiction panel on the Downtown Stage at 10:30 a.m.; right
afterward he signs ARCs of Sweet
Caress at the Bloomsbury booth,
