ALL THIS MARVELOUS POTENTIAL Robert Kennedy’s 1968 Tour of Appalachia Matthew Algeo

n the winter of 1967–68, Robert F. Kennedy, Ithen a US Senator from New York, ventured deep into the heart of Appalachia on what was dubbed a “poverty tour.” He visited one‑room schoolhouses and dilapidated homes, toured a strip mine, and held a public hearing in a ramshackle high school gymnasium. Kennedy learned that job training programs were useless, welfare programs proved insufficient, and jobs were scarce and getting scarcer. Robert Kennedy wasn’t merely on a fact‑finding mission, he was considering challenging Johnson for the Demo- cratic presidential nomination. His trip to eastern Kentucky was an opportunity to test his antiwar and antipoverty message with hardscrabble whites. All This Marvelous Potential meticulously retraces RFK’s tour of eastern Kentucky, visiting ALSO BY THE AUTHOR the places he visited and meeting with the people he met with. The similarities between then and now are astonishing: vicious, divisive politics; bitter racial strife; economic uncertainty; environmental alarm. Author Matthew Algeo explains how and why the region has changed since Robert Kennedy visited the area in 1968; how and why it hasn’t; and why it matters for the rest of the country.

A STRANGER AMONG SAINTS Stephen Hopkins, the Man Who Survived Jamestown and Saved Plymouth Jonathan Mack

ometime between 1610 and 1611, William SShakespeare wrote The Tempest, inspired by the real‑life shipwreck in 1609 of the Sea Venture, which was caught in a hurricane and grounded on the coast of Bermuda during a voyage to resupply the colony at Jamestown. Among the castaways was Stephen Hopkins. During the ten months marooned on Bermuda, Hopkins was charged with trying to incite a mutiny and condemned to die, only to have his sentence commuted. Hop- kins eventually reached Jamestown, where he spent six years before returning to England. In 1620, Hopkins signed on with a group of religious radicals on the Mayflower. Hopkins was the only passenger who’d been across the Atlantic before— the only one who’d encountered America’s native peoples and understood the complexities of their societies.

A DIRTY YEAR Sex, Suffrage, and Scandal in Gilded Age New York Bill Greer

ew York, 1872, was a city convulsing with Nsocial upheaval and sexual revolution seven years after the Civil War. As the year began, the New York Times headlined four stories that symptomized the decay in public morals the edi- tors so frequently decried: financier Jim Fisk was gunned down in a love triangle; suffragist and free love advocate Victoria Woodhull was running for president; vice hunter Anthony Comstock battled smut dealers poisoning children’s minds; and abortionists were thriving—and killing. These stories intertwined in ways unimaginable, pulling in suffragists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Brooklyn’s beloved preacher Henry Ward Beecher, the nation’s richest tycoon Corne- lius Vanderbilt, and William Howe, preeminent counsel to the criminal element. Through the lives of these larger‑than‑life characters, the issues of ALSO AVAILABLE the day played out—rigged elections, everyday shootings, attacks on the press, sexual impropriety, reproductive rights, the chasm between rich and poor—issues that resonate today. Political parties split over a bitterly contested election, suffragist battled suffragist over bettering women’s place in society, and pious saints fought soulless sinners, until at year‑end this jumble of conflicts exploded in the greatest sensation of the nineteenth century.

PILSNER How the Beer of Kings Changed the World Tom Acitelli

om Acitelli’s Pilsner tells the remarkable Ttale of the world’s most popular beer style. It begins with its humble birth in a far corner of the Austrian Empire in 1842, goes through its zenith and near death during Prohibition in the United States, and concludes with its present dominance worldwide. Pilsner was born during a remarkable mid‑nineteenth‑century epoch, and this first biography of the style places it in its historical context, where it intersected with revolutions in politics and technology, including the railroad, refrigeration, and germ science. The book shatters myths about pilsner’s very birth and about its immediate parentage, showing that it’s largely a German invention rather than a Czech one. Pilsner also pops the top on new insights into the style and into beer in general through a character‑driven narrative that shows how pil- ALSO AVAILABLE sner influenced everything from modern‑day advertising and marketing to today’s craft beer movement—which is driven by a reaction to pilsner’s dominance in the form of brands such as Budweiser, Bud Light, Miller Light, Heineken, and Snow (the world’s best‑selling beer, a pilsner out of China).

LAME FATE | UGLY SWANS Arkady and Boris Strugatsky A New Translation by Maya Vinokour Afterword by Boris Strugatsky

oday, Arkady and Boris Strugatsky are Tcounted among the best science fiction writers of the twentieth century, but their relationship with the late‑Soviet literary establishment in Rus- sia was often fraught. The authors’ inability to publish, however, diminished neither their productiv- ity nor their popularity. Their works, retyped by hand, circulated widely through unofficial chan- nels. The nested novels Ugly Swans and Lame Fate offer insight into this period of enforced silence. Never before translated into English, Lame Fate is the account of middle‑aged author Felix Sorokin. When the Soviet Writers’ Union asks him to sub- mit a writing sample to a newfangled machine that can evaluate the “objective value” of any literary work, he faces a dilemma. Sorokin’s masterwork is Ugly Swans, previously published in English as a standalone work but presented here in an authori- ALSO BY THE AUTHORS tative new translation. Together, Lame Fate and Ugly Swans illuminate some of the Strugatskys’ favorite themes—the (im)possibility of political progress, the role of the individual in society, the nature of honor and courage, and the enduring value of art—in consummately entertaining fashion.

A LIGHT OF HER OWN Carrie Callaghan

n Holland 1633, a woman’s ambition has no Iplace. Judith is a painter, dodging the law and whispers of murder to try to become the first woman admitted to the Haarlem painters guild. Maria is a Catholic in a country where the faith is banned, hoping to absolve her sins by recover- ing a lost saint’s relic. Both women’s destinies will be shaped by their ambitions, running counter to the city’s most powerful men, whose own plans spell disaster. A vivid portrait of a remarkable artist, A Light of Her Own is a richly-woven story of grit against the backdrop of Rembrandt and an uncompromising religion. The trail of Judith Leyster’s career was so faint that only years after her death in 1660 collectors began attributing her few surviving paintings to other artists. She signed her work with only a beautiful, stylized monogram. Credit went to ALSO BY THE AUTHOR Frans Hals, Jan Miense Molenaer, and others. She would remain lost to history until 1893.

ANYA SETON A Writing Life Lucinda H. MacKethan

nya Seton was the bestselling author of ten Ahistorical novels, including the masterpieces Katherine and The Winthrop Woman, which are still widely beloved over sixty years after their original publication. Yet there has never before been a book‑length biography of this great American writer. Ann Seton was born in 1904 the daughter of two celebrity writers—the pair’s literary output gave them enduring fame. As a teenager, Ann explicitly rejected her parents’ careers because, she said, they showed her the drudgery of a writer’s life. Still, she was always confident that she had inherited her parents’ talent. At age thirty-six and self‑renamed Anya, she placed her first novel with a major publisher. She reinvented herself within carefully researched historical settings and biographical materials that provided both escape and wish‑fulfillment. In journal entries, letters, and “self‑analyses,” she provides an intimate study of what it meant to her to be a ALSO AVAILABLE writer. She wrote probably her own best epitaph while working on her masterpiece, Katherine, published in 1954: “My forte is story, and a peculiarly meticulous (fearful, yes) desire to weave historical fact into story.

MORE THAN MARMALADE Michael Bond and the Story of Paddington Bear Rosanne Tolin

ichael Bond never intended to be a chil- Mdren’s writer. Though an avid reader, he was by no means a model student and he quit school at 14. He went to work for a law office, and then repaired rooftop radio transmitters for the BBC under the constant threat of World War II bomb- ings in London. Once of age, Bond joined the army and began writing about his experiences. He kept writing after the war, selling stories here and there.

BREWDOG: CRAFT BEER FOR THE GEEKS Richard Taylor with James Watt and Martin Dickie

he second book from the BrewDog founders, TBrewDog: Craft Beer for the Geeks aims to go deeper into the science and styles of craft beer in this full-color, gorgeously designed taproom bible. With sections such as “The Science of Flavor” and “Why Temperature Is King,” beer geeks will be satisfied with the wealth of knowledge presented by these craft beer experts. Recipes and sections on beer and food pairing will thrill food and beverage enthusiasts who want to go further in exploring flavor combinations. And a “DIY Dog” section on at-home brewing with recipes and trouble-shooting tips exemplifies the punk, open- source ethos that BrewDog is known for.

ZORRO’S SHADOW How a Mexican Legend Became America’s First Superhero Stephen J. C. Andes

ong before Superman or Batman made their Lfirst appearances, there was Zorro. Born on the pages of the pulps in 1919, Zorro fenced his way through the American popular imagination, carving his signature letter Z into the flesh of evildoers in Old Spanish California. Zorro is the original caped crusader, the character who laid the blueprint for the modern American superhero: the mask, the alter-ego, extraordinary physical skills, and a struggle against arch-villains. In Zorro’s Shadow, historian and Latin American studies expert Stephen J. C. Andes investigates the legends behind the mask of Zorro, revealing that the ori- gin of America’s first superhero lies in Latinx history and experience. Based on the never-before- seen letters of Zorro creator Johnston McCulley, Andes describes how the mexican legends around William Lamport and Joaquín Murrieta influ- ALSO AVAILABLE enced the development of the masked hero in black, and further, how Zorro went from a real life Mexican bandido to a distinctly white, aristocratic hero.

PATTI SMITH ON PATTI SMITH Interviews and Encounters Aidan Levy

rom the moment Patti Smith burst onto the Fscene, chanting “Jesus died for somebody’s sins, but not mine,” the irreverent opening line to Horses, her 1975 debut album, the punk movement had found its dissident intellectual voice. Yet outside the recording studio—Smith has released eleven studio albums—the punk poet laureate has been just as revelatory in interviews, delivering off-the-cuff jeremiads that emboldened a generation of disaffected youth and imparting hard-earned life lessons. With her characteristic blend of bohemian intellectualism, antiauthori- tarian poetry, and unflagging optimism, Smith gave them hope in the transcendent power of art. In interviews, Smith is unfiltered and startlingly present, and prescient, preaching a gospel bound to shock or inspire.

MI is the story of how Mario Lavandeira T became Perez Hilton, a celebrity blogger with millions of readers around the globe who was sometimes called the Most Hated Man in Hollywood. Growing up in Miami’s Little Havana in the 1980s, Perez was bullied at school because of his weight and his sexual orientation, so he devoted all his free time to eating and watching TV in his bedroom. After college at NYU and a move to L.A., where he was fired from three different jobs within the space of ten months, Perez suddenly hit it big in 2005 with his gossip blog. With Perez’s help, many promising young artists reached the masses—Katy Perry, Adele, Amy Winehouse, and Lady Gaga, to name just a few. Perez soon became a Hollywood insider, but during his dramatic fallout with Lady Gaga he realized that he had been used. Perez’s blog became increasingly mean. A turning point came when Perez uploaded a video for the It Gets Bet- ALSO AVAILABLE ter campaign and was surprised by the backlash. People called him a bully and a hypocrite because he previously outed gay celebrities on his blog. Perez was forced to reevaluate not only his alter ego, but also himself as a person.

In Wild Rescues, Grange presents a fast- paced, firsthand glimpse into the exciting lives of paramedics who work with the National Park Ser- vice: a unique brand of park rangers who respond to medical and traumatic emergencies in some of the most isolated and dangerous parts of America. Among Grange’s other calls, he battled to save the lives of a heart attack victim at Old Faithful, a hiker who’d fractured his skull below Yosemite Falls, and a snowmobiler who launched into a deep gorge in the shadow of the jagged Tetons. Grange was initially overwhelmed—and out of his element—providing patient care in an extreme environment with limited resources and a two- hour drive to the nearest hospital.

REVOLUTION OR DEATH The Life of Eldridge Cleaver Justin Gifford

n the 1960s, no black political group stood for Igrassroots insurgency more than the Black Panther Party. The figure who embodied the mili- tant and controversial spirit of the Black Panther Party more than anyone was Eldridge Cleaver. Charismatic, brilliant, and courageous, Cleaver built a base of power and influence that struck fear deep in the heart of white America. It was therefore shocking to many left-wing radicals when Cleaver turned his back on black revolution, the Nation of Islam, and communism in 1975. How can we make sense of Cleaver’s precipitous decline from a position as one of America’s most vibrant black writers and activists?

Revolution or Death answers these ALSO AVAILABLE questions and many more by providing the first life story of one of the most notorious black revo- lutionaries in history.

CASSIUS X The Transformation of Muhammad Ali Stuart Cosgrove

lthough Muhammad Ali’s decision to Aassume a new name has often been portrayed as a sudden transformation, Cassius Clay’s conversion to Islam was a process, not an event. For many months he received guidance from Malcolm X, who had traveled from Har- lem to Miami to be his mentor as he studied for his entry into the deeply divided and fratricidal Nation of Islam. The name he assumed over those now-forgotten months was Cassius X. This is the story of Cassius X over twelve months in Miami, as he trains for the fight that will bring him global fame: his world heavyweight title fight against Sonny Liston in February 1964.

THE LAST AMERICAN HERO The Remarkable Life of John Glenn Alice L. George

n February 20, 1962, John Glenn became a Onational star. That morning at Cape Canav- eral, a small-town boy from Ohio took his place atop a rocket and soared into orbit to score a vic- tory in the heavily contested Cold War. The television images were blurry black-and-white phan- toms. The cameras shook as the rocket moved, but by the end of the day, one thing was clear: a new hero rode that rocket and became the center of the world’s attention. He became celebrated in all corners of the world as not just the first American to orbit the Earth, but as the first space traveler to take the human race with him. From that day forward, Glenn restively wore the hero label. Wher- ever he went, people knew his name and what he had done. Refusing to let that dramatic day define his life, he went on to become a four-term US senator—and returned to space at the age of seventy-seven. The Last American Hero examines the many layers that formed the man and unravels the reasons for his singular role. At a time when ALSO increasingly cynical Americans need heroes, his AVAILABLE aura burns brightly in American memory.

ONE WEEK IN AMERICA The 1968 Notre Dame Literary Festival and a Changing Nation Patrick Parr

ne Week in America is a day-by-day narra- O tive of the 1968 Notre Dame Sophomore Literary Festival and the national events that grabbed the spotlight. Dealing with the anti– Vietnam War movement, Lyndon B. Johnson’s decision not to seek re-election, and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., author Patrick Parr takes readers back to one chaotic week on the South Bend campus, when college students, talented authors, and presidential candidates grappled with major events, creating one of the most historic festivals of the twentieth century. The major players in this story are names that just about every household in the United States had heard of before. Those who weren’t into Wil- liam F. Buckley Jr. may have enjoyed Norman Mailer. The disaffected youth who believed it was all noise, madness, and lunacy, clung to novelists Joseph Heller and Kurt Vonnegut. And those who preferred steady, practical, voices read the works of Granville Hicks and Wright Morris. For those disconnected from America, Ralph Ellison’s Invis- ible Man was there for empathy and inspiration. It was only through the thrilling efforts of festival ALSO BY THE AUTHOR chairman John E.

THE DEATHS OF SYBIL BOLTON Oil, Greed, and Murder on the Osage Reservation Dennis McAuliffe Jr. Foreword by David Grann

“An intimate quest for identity, a fascinating real- life whodunit, and a shattering expose of another shameful episode in the painful history of U.S. and Indian relations.” —Booklist

“It is a western and a crime story, and it is history, not mythology.” —New York Times

ennis McAuliffe Jr., a journalist, grew up Dbelieving that his Osage Indian grand- mother, Sybil Bolton, had died an early death in 1925 from kidney disease. But sixty-six years later, he learns by chance that the cause was a gunshot wound. Investigating the circumstances, he soon finds himself peeling away the layers of a sup- pressed nightmare chapter of American history: the unspeakable brutality of the Osage Reign of Terror. He learns that Sybil was the victim not ALSO AVAILABLE of random violence but of a systematic killing spree in the 1920s, carried out by white residents of Oklahoma against the oil-rich Osage Nation. McAuliffe is forced to suspect that his own grand- father engineered Sybil’s murder.

JONI ON JONI Interviews and Encounters with Joni Mitchell Susan Whitall

oni Mitchell was a solidly middle-class bohe- Jmian; an anti-feminist who loved men but scorned free love; a female warrior taking on the male music establishment. She was both the party girl with torn stockings and the sensitive soul. Her earthy, poetic lyrics and the unusual melodic intervals traced by that lissome voice earned her the status of a pop legend. Joni on Joni is a chronologically arranged anthology of Mitchell’s most illuminating interviews, spanning the years 1966 to 2014. Included are revealing pieces from her early years in Canada and Detroit, along with influential articles such as Cameron Crowe’s Roll‑ ing Stone piece. Interspersed throughout are key quotes from dozens of additional Q&As. Together, this material paints a revealing picture of the artist—bragging and scornful, philosophical and deep, but also a beguiling flirt. ALSO AVAILABLE IN THE MUSICIANS IN THEIR OWN WORDS SERIES

His career had seen its share of twists and turns, from his time working undercover to thwart robberies on Chicago’s L trains, to his years as a homicide detective. He thought he had seen it all. But on this day, he was at the records center to see the case file for the murder of John Hughes, who was seventeen years old when he was gunned down in a park on Chicago’s Southwest Side on May 15, 1976. The case had haunted many in the department for years and its threads led everywhere: Police corruption. Hints of the influence of the Chicago Outfit. A crooked judge. Sherlock, expecting to retire within a year, had a dream assignment: working cold cases for the Chicago office of the FBI. And with time for one ALSO BY THE AUTHOR more investigation, he had chosen this stubborn case. More than forty years after the Hughes killing, he was hopeful he could finally put the case to rest. Then the records clerk handed Sherlock a thin manila folder. What should have been a massive file with notes and transcripts from dozens of interviews had been reduced to a few reports and photographs. Sherlock could have left the records center without the folder and cruised into retirement, and no one would have noticed.

OVERNIGHT CODE The Life of Raye Montague, the Woman Who Revolutionized Naval Engineering Paige Bowers and David Montague

vernight Code tells the story of Raye Mon- Otague, an ambitious little girl from segregated Little Rock who spent a lifetime educating herself, both inside and outside of the classroom, so that she could become the person and professional she aspired to be. Where some saw road- blocks, Montague only saw hurdles that needed to be overcome. Her mindset helped her become the first person to draft a naval ship design by com- puter, using a program she worked late nights to debug. She did this as a single mother during the height of the Cold War, all the while imbuing her son with the hard-won wisdom she had accumu- lated throughout the years. Equal parts coming- of-age tale, civil rights history, and reflection on the power of education, Overnight Code is a story about the persistence and perseverance required to forge the life of your dreams when the odds against you seem insurmountable, and shows how one woman refused to let other people’s prejudices stand in the way of her success.
