TRANSCRIPT
Caminar en el horizonte (Ediciones Carena, $16.95), es la historia de
Flor, una chica que llega a los Estados Unidos para trabajar y que tiene que luchar para adaptarse al
medio y cumplir sus aspiraciones. Su padre la apoya, y en el proceso toma decisiones paradójicas que la ayudan en su experiencia como inmigrante,
pero también la colocan en una encrucijada.

From the internationally bestselling author of Girl with a Pearl Earring, comes a riveting drama of a pioneer family on the American frontier. Enjoy an evening with Tracy Chevalier as she discusses the graceful & richly imagined At the Edge of the Orchard (Viking, $16), a staff and customer favorite at all of our locations.
Trayvon Martin’s parents take readers beyond the news cycle with an account only they could give: the intimate story of a tragically foreshortened life and the rise of a movement. Rest in Power (Spiegel & Grau, $26) is the story of the beautiful and complex child they lost, the cruel unresponsiveness of the police and the hostility of the legal system, as well as the inspiring journey they took from grief and pain to power and meaning.
A brilliant combination of inventive visuals and a paradigm-shifting narrative invites you to a stunning multisensory reading experience. Continue along on this most imaginative & strange journey in The Familiar, Volume 4: Hades (Pantheon, 26.95), wherein the cat is toothless.
Join us to celebrate this brilliant writer’s magnum opus, 4 3 2 1 (Henry Holt Co., $32.50), with an evening of MUSIC, MAGIC & THE MUSE! Paul Auster will be joined by his daughter, singer-songwriter and actress, Sophie Auster as well as his good friend, the world’s formost magician, David Blaine, on stage at the Adrienne Arsht Center’s Knight Concert Hall.Tickets available at http://www.arshtcenter.org.
Paula Arcila, 2/16 @ 8pm, GABLES
Una reina sin medidas (La Pereza Ediciones, $17.99), a punto de cumplir 40 años, la única preocupación de Paula se centraba en cómo celebrar esta fecha tan significativa en la vida de cualquier mujer moderna. Así, le surge la original idea de escribir un monólogo teatral, el cual se
convertiría en el exitoso espectáculo Miss Cuarenta, obra de humor y reflexión que ha permanecido activa en la cartelera de
Estados Unidos y Latinoamérica.

FEBRUARYFrom the beloved author of Tenth of December, comes his long-awaited debut novel: a moving and original father-son story featuring none other than Abraham Lincoln, as well as an unforgettable cast of supporting characters, living and dead, historical and invented. Lincoln in the Bardo (Random House, $28.00) is an astonishing feat of imagination and a bold step forward from one of the most important and influential writers of his generation.
Siri Hustvedt is a prizewinning novelist and lover of science, art and the humanities. Her latest publication, titled A Woman Looking at Men Looking at Women: Essays on Art, Sex, and the Mind (Simon & Schuster, $35.00), is a compelling and radical collection of essays on those very things, ranging from feminism to neuroscience.
