How many people in Washington will understand this book? Edward McClelland , born in 1967, grew up in blue-collar Lansing, Mich., when what is now called the Rust Belt was still as bright as the chrome on an Oldsmobile 88.

08.28: Michael Perry
2013-07-10 23:33:44| Powells Books Events Calendar
In Visiting Tom: A Man, a Highway, and the Road to Roughneck Grace (Harper), acclaimed author Michael Perry returns with the tale of Tom Hartwig, an old-timer best known locally for building and firing homemade cannons. Tom has an endless reservoir of stories dating back to the days of his prize Model A, and an anti-authoritarian streak refreshed daily by the four-lane interstate that was shoved through his front yard in 1965. And yet, Visiting Tom is dominated by the elderly man's sense of humor and, ultimately — when he and Perry converse as husbands and the fathers of daughters — unvarnished tenderness, all related with Perry's trademark blend of humor, insight, and heart.
08.26: Michael Paterniti
2013-07-10 23:33:40| Powells Books Events Calendar
In the fall of 1991, Michael Paterniti encountered a rare Spanish queso reputed to be the finest and most expensive in the world. Made from an ancient family recipe in the medieval Castilian village of Guzmán, the cheese carried its own legend: if you ate it, some said, you might recover long-lost memories. Flash forward 10 years, when Paterniti has finally found his way to that tiny hilltop village to meet the famous cheesemaker himself, a magnetic, heartbroken genius named Ambrosio. What Paterniti discovers in Guzmán is nothing like the idyllic food fable he has imagined. Instead, he wanders into — and eventually becomes implicated in — the heart of an unfolding mystery in which a village begins to spill its long-held secrets and nothing is quite what it seems. A transporting work of literary nonfiction, Paterniti's The Telling Room: A Tale of Love, Betrayal, Revenge, and the World's Greatest Piece of Cheese (Dial Press) is a moving exploration of happiness, friendship, and betrayal.
