ALGREN A Life Mary Wisniewski

The first new examination of the life of Nelson Algren in over 25 years, Algren is the definitive biography of one of the best-known writers of mid-20th-century America. Chicago journal- ist Mary Wisniewski interviewed dozens of Algren’s inner circle, including photographer Art Shay and the late Studs Terkel, and examined Algren’s unpublished writing and correspondence, including hundreds of letters he received from lover Simone de Beauvoir, to craft an account as entertaining as it is meticulously researched. Algren reveals new details about the writer’s life, work, personality, and habits, digging beneath the street-crawling man’s man stereotype to show a funny, sensitive, and romantic but self- destructive artist. Wisniewski shows how, initially celebrated then savaged by literary critics for his continued preoccupation with prostitutes and in 1981.

IMMUNITY How Elie Metchnikoff Changed the Course of Modern Medicine Luba Vikhanski

In October 1882, while peering through a micro- scope at starfish larvae in which he had inserted tiny thorns, Russian zoologist Elie Metchnikoff had a brilliant insight: what if the mobile cells he saw gathering around the thorns were the same as white blood cells that traveled to the site of an injury or infection in a human or other animal? Was this some form of cellular defense? Metch- nikoff’s theory of immunity, that phagocytes— white blood cells—formed the first line of defense against invading bacteria would eventually earn the scientist the unofficial moniker “Father of Nat- ural Immunity” and a Nobel Prize, but first he had to convince his colleagues, including the skeptical Louis Pasteur.

“Fascinating. . . . A calm, judicious, and gripping account of these tangled events.” —Sunday Times

AMERICAN DAREDEVIL The Extraordinary Life of Richard Halliburton, the World’s First Celebrity Travel Writer Cathryn J. Prince

With a polished walking stick and neatly pressed trousers, Richard Halliburton served as an intrepid globetrotting guide for millions of Americans in the 1920s and ’30s. Readers waited for each new article and book he wrote. Halliburton climbed the Matterhorn, nearly fell out of his plane while shooting the first aerial photographs of Mt. Everest, and became the first person to swim the full length of the Panama Canal. With matinee idol looks, the Tennessee native was a media darling in an era of optimism and increased social openness. But as the Great Depression and looming war pushed America toward social conservatism, Halliburton more actively worked to hide his homosexuality, bur- nishing his image as a masculine trailblazer. No middle ground existed regarding Halliburton—he was either adored or abhorred. Ernest Hemingway our age of the 24-hour news cycle, becoming the and F.

insular group of Hasidic Jews. The sect had bought land in upstate New York, populated it solely with members of its faction, and created a village that exerted extraordinary political pres- sure over both political parties in the legislature. Marking the first time in American history that a governmental unit was established for a religious group, the legislature’s action prompted years of litigation that eventually went to the Supreme Court. The 1994 case, The Board of Education of the Village of Kiryas Joel v. Grumet, stands as the most important legal precedent in the fight to uphold the separation of church and state.

the full story of gruesome murders, sympathetic victims, accused innocents, public panic, the New Orleans Mafia, and a mysterious killer has never been written. Until now. The Axeman repeatedly broke into the homes of Italian grocers in the dead of night, leaving his victims in a pool of blood. Iorlando Jordano, an innocent Italian grocer, and his teenaged son Frank were wrongly accused of one of those murders; corrupt officials convicted them with coerced testimony. Miriam C. Davis here expertly tells the story of the search for the Axeman and of the eventual exoneration of the innocent Jor- danos. She proves that the person most widely suspected of being the Axeman was not the killer.

PRESTON TUCKER AND HIS BATTLE TO BUILD THE CAR OF TOMORROW Steve Lehto Foreword by Jay Leno

In the wake of World War II, the US automo- bile industry was fully unprepared to meet the growing demands of the public, for whom they had not made any cars for years. In stepped Preston Tucker, a salesman extraordinaire who announced the building of a revolutionary new car: the Tucker ’48, the first car in almost a decade to be built fresh from the ground up. Tucker’s car, which would include ingenious advances in design and engineering that other car companies could not match, captured the inter- est of the public, and automakers in Detroit took notice. Here, author Steve Lehto tackles Tucker’s amazing story, relying on a huge trove of docu- ments that has been used by no other writer to date. It is the first comprehensive, authoritative account of Tucker’s magnificent car and his battles with the government. And in this book, Lehto finally answers the questions automobile aficionados have wondered about for decades: exactly how and why the production of such an innovative car was killed.

HOT SAUCE NATION America’s Burning Obsession Denver Nicks

Hot Sauce Nation is a red-hot ride through the story of hot sauce in America, from the humble South American plant that made its way to Mexico, the Caribbean, and via Columbus to Spain and beyond, to an excruciating encounter with a 3.3-million-Scoville scorpion-pepper tincture, one of the spiciest things on Earth. Why should the world’s most painful food have inspired such adoration in the United States? While chili pepper– based sauces have transformed cuisines worldwide, successive waves of immigrants landing in the New World have turned up the heat on the Ameri- can palette with their native pungent sauces. Today, the super-fast-growing hot sauce industry has made it into everything from salsa chips and dips to barbecue, buffalo wings, chocolates, and cock- tails, inspiring passionate romances and chang- ing people’s lives along the way. With fascinating detours into science, history, and current events, and sprinkled with the stories of the people who make, use, sell, love, and cook with hot sauce, this flavorful volume explores the unique hold the dark prince of condiments has on the American heart.

The Doomed City was so politically risky that the Strugatsky brothers kept its existence a complete secret even from their closest friends for 16 years after its completion in 1972.

The Doomed City is set in an experimental city whose sun gets switched on in the morning and switched off at night, bordered by an abyss on one side and an impossibly high wall on the other. Its sole inhabitants are people who were plucked from 20th-century history at various times and places and left to govern themselves under increasingly Arkady and Boris Strugatsky were the greatest nightmarish conditions.

So he embarks on a vendetta. He wanders through strange realms, encountering witches, vampires, and his worst enemy: the Lord of Bats. He consults his friend Morningstar, a great dark angel.

STARGATE Pauline Gedge

The Worldmaker, omnipotent creator of all life, has turned against his creations. One by one the ruling sun lords of each solar system have fallen, succumbing to the lure of forbidden knowledge, the gates connecting their worlds to the rest of the cosmos sealed off, their civilizations hope- lessly corrupted. The immortal sun people are condemned to languish with their subjects in an eternity of solitude. As Stargate opens, only four systems remain untouched: the aquatic world of Ixel; Ghaka, a mountainous planet inhabited by a cliff-dwelling winged race; the exquisite Shol, world of culture and learning; and Danar, serene center of the universe. With courageous and often desperate measures the sun lords prepare themselves and their subjects for a battle unlike any they have ever “Gedge has fashioned a remarkable blend of grip- imagined.

GOLDEN How Rod Blagojevich Talked Himself out of the Governor’s Office and into Prison Jeff Coen and John Chase

Rod Blagojevich made international headlines in 2008 when the 40th governor of Illinois was arrested by the FBI at his Chicago home, accused of running the state government as a criminal racket and, most shockingly, of trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s US Senate seat. Revealing evidence from the investigation never before made public, Golden is the definitive account of the Blagojevich story, written by two Chicago reporters who covered every step of his rise and fall and spent years sifting through evi- dence, compiling documents, and conducting over a hundred interviews with those who have known Blagojevich from his childhood to his time in the governor’s office.

liarities made him the object of fascination and of derision. Corbett was a hatter who was likely poisoned by the mercury used in the manufacturing pro- cess. A devout Christian, he castrated himself so that his sexual urges would not distract him from serving God as a street evangelist and preacher.

JANUARY 1973 Watergate, Roe v. Wade, Vietnam, and the Month That Changed America Forever James Robenalt Foreword by John W. Dean

American politics changed forever in Janu- ary 1973. In the span of 31 days, the Watergate burglars went on trial, the Nixon administra- tion negotiated an end to the Vietnam War, the Supreme Court issued its decision in Roe v. Wade, Lyndon Johnson died in Texas, and Richard Nixon was sworn in for his second term. The events had unlikely links and each worked along with the others to create a time of immense transformation. Roe in particular pushed politi- cal opponents to the outer reaches of each party, making compromise something that has become more and more difficult in our system of checks and balances. Using newly released Nixon tapes, author and historian James Robenalt provides readers a fly- on-the-Oval-Office-wall look at what happened in the White House, events fascinating and ter- hashed out its decision in Roe v. Wade. A foreword rifying, during this monumental month. He also by John W. Dean sets the stage for this unique, delves into the judge’s chambers and courtroom insider history. Though the events took place more drama during the Watergate break-in trial, and than 40 years ago, they’re key to understanding the inner sanctum of the US Supreme Court as it today’s political paralysis.

GENTLEMEN BOOTLEGGERS The True Story of Templeton Rye, Prohibition, and a Small Town in Cahoots Bryce T. Bauer

During Prohibition, while Al Capone was rising to worldwide prominence, the townspeople of rural Templeton, Iowa—population 428—were busy with a bootlegging empire of their own. Led by Joe Irlbeck, an outfit of farmers, small merchants, and even the church monsignor worked together to create a whiskey so excellent it was ordered by name: “Templeton rye.” A Prohibition agent from the adjacent county was ardent in his fight against alcohol, and he chased Irlbeck for over a decade. But Irlbeck was not Capone, and Templeton would not be ruled by violence like Chicago.

SWEET INVENTION A History of Dessert Michael Krondl

Sweet Invention is a social, cultural, and—above all—culinary history of dessert. It explores the world’s great dessert traditions, from ancient India to 21st-century Indiana. Each chapter begins in the present with the author tasting and analyzing one of the dessert icons of each tradition—bak- lava in the Middle East, or macarons in France for example—before spinning a more ancient tale. Readers will meet the sweet makers of Persia who gave us the first donuts, the sugar sculptors of Renaissance Italy whose creativity (by way of Paris and London) gave birth to the modern wedding cake; and the hardworking (and wildly inventive) home economists of the early 20th century who cooked up such unforgettable delights as chocolate chip cookies and rice crispy squares. A fun and enjoyable read that is groundbreaking in its schol- arship, Sweet Invention embraces the pleasures of dessert while elucidating the uses—social, politi- cal, religious, and even sexual—that societies have found for it.

BETWEEN XX AND XY Intersexuality and the Myth of Two Sexes Gerald N. Callahan, PhD

Between XX and XY provides a fascinating look at the science of sex and what makes people male or female. Is it external genitalia, internal sex organs, chromosomes, DNA, environment, or some combination? Not even doctors or scientists are entirely clear. What is clear is that sex is not an either-or proposition: not girl/boy, XX/XY, switching between two poles like an on-off switch on a radio. Rather, sex is like the bass and treble knobs on that radio. Explaining dozens of intersex conditions, such as hermaphroditism, Klinefelter syndrome, and androgen insensitivity syndrome, Between XX and XY includes personal interviews with people living with these conditions telling their surprising and often heartwrenching stories. Author Gerald N. Callahan looks at both the his- tory and the current treatment for intersex condi- tions and profiles the options that are available today for the ambiguous child.

THE CRIMINAL CONVERSATION OF MRS. NORTON Victorian England’s “Scandal of the Century” and the Fallen Socialite Who Changed Women’s Lives Forever Diane Atkinson

“Important and definitive, this beautifully written and extremely entertaining book resurrects a nineteenth- century heroine for the twenty-first century.” —Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire

During the summer of 1836, Caroline Nor- ton—respected poet and songwriter, witty and outrageous flirt, and unhappy wife—was accused of having an affair with the prime minister, spark- ing what was called “the scandal of the century.” Young newspaperman Charles Dickens covered the resulting “criminal conversation” (adultery) trial and fictionalized the events in The Pick- wick Papers. The jury’s not guilty verdict made Caroline’s husband a laughingstock. Angry and humiliated, he locked Caroline out of their home, seized her papers, clothes, jewels, and every penny Married Women’s Property Act (1870). These acts of her earnings, and refused to let her see their established legal rights for married (and divorced) three sons. Atkinson details the scintillating trial women, allowing them to inherit property and that rocked a nation and follows Norton’s tire- take court action on their own behalf—in effect, less campaign to help write and ensure passage establishing them for the first time as full-fledged of the Infant and Child Custody Act (1839), the human beings with a separate legal identity from Matrimonial Causes (Divorce) Act (1857), and the their husbands.

A MYSTERIOUS SOMETHING IN THE LIGHT The Life of Raymond Chandler Tom Williams

drawing on new interviews, previously unpub- lished letters, and archives on both sides of the Atlantic, Tom Williams casts a new light on this most mysterious of writers. The Raymond Chandler revealed is a man trou- bled by loneliness and desertion. Born in Chicago in 1888, his childhood was overshadowed by his father’s alcohol-fueled violence, which forced the boy and his doting mother to leave for Ireland and later London. But class-bound England proved stifling, and Chandler, in his 20s and eager to forge a new life, returned to the United States where—in corruption-ridden Los Angeles—he met his one great love, Cissy Pascal, a married woman 18 years his senior. It was only during middle age, after his alcohol- ism wrecked a lucrative career as an oilman, that “Tom Williams is the third and best biographer of Chandler seriously turned to crime fiction. And Chandler. . . .

INVISIBLE CHINA A Journey Through Ethnic Borderlands Colin Legerton and Jacob Rawson

In this eloquent and eye-opening adventure nar- rative, two Americans fluent in Mandarin Chinese, Korean, and Uyghur throw away the guidebook and bring a hitherto unexplored side of China to light. They journey over 14,000 miles by bus and train to the farthest reaches of the country to meet the minority peoples who dwell there, talking to farmers in their fields, monks in their monaster- ies, fishermen on their skiffs, and herders on the steppe. In Invisible China, they engage in a heated dis- cussion of human rights with Daur and Ewenki village cadres; celebrate Muhammad’s birthday with aging Dongxiang hajjis who recount the gov- ernment’s razing of their mosque; attend mass with old Catholic Kinh fishermen at a church that has been 40 years without a priest; hike around high- altitude Lugu Lake to farm with the matrilineal Mosuo women; and descend into a dry riverbed to hunt for jade with Muslim Uyghur merchants.

THE PITTSBURGH COCAINE SEVEN How a Ragtag Group of Fans Took the Fall for Major League Baseball Aaron Skirboll

In terms of sheer dirt, three Major League Baseball scandals rise to the top: the 1919 Black Sox, the 1985 Pittsburgh drug trials, and the steroid era. The former and latter have been covered exten- sively. Yet there is only one book that details the biggest drug trials in baseball history. The MLB participants were among the game’s elite: Keith Hernandez, Dave Parker, Dusty Baker, Lonnie Smith, Joaquin Andujar, John Milner, Dale Berra, Willie Mays, Willie Stargell. But most of the guys who took the fall for these superstars were just average fans, not heavy hitters or major drug dealers, and this book reveals the often comic circumstances of how they set up deals—and how they got busted. In 1985, it seemed the league was poised to implement a drug-testing policy for the players. “A work of dazzling detail about an audacious and Of course, that didn’t happen, and because of this sordid decade in baseball, when cocaine blew inaction, the steroid era came along—and with freely through clubhouses and players’ parties.” it all of the broken records that transformed the —Steve Wilstein sport.

UNCAGED My Life as a Champion MMA Fighter Frank Shamrock and Charles Fleming Foreword by Mickey Rourke

Frank Shamrock may be the toughest man alive— the only person to win a title in all three major North American fight promotions. As Ultimate Fighting Champion he was widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world. But Shamrock has led a life of profound dif- ficulty.

BLOOD IN THE FIELDS Ten Years Inside California’s Nuestra Familia Gang Julia Reynolds

prisons of California in the late 1960s, Nuestra Familia expanded to control drug trafficking and extortion operations throughout the northern half of the state, and left a trail of bodies in its wake. Prize-winning journalist and Nieman Fellow Julia Reynolds tells the gang’s story from the inside out, following young men and women as they search for a new kind of family, quests that usually lead to murder and betrayal. Blood in the Fields, a final- ist for the International Latino Book Awards, also documents the history of Operation Black Widow, the FBI’s questionable decade-long effort to dis- mantle the Nuestra Familia, along with its com- promised informants and the turf wars it created with local law enforcement agencies.

THE HOSPITAL ALWAYS WINS A Memoir Issa Ibrahim

Issa Ibrahim’s memoir details in searing prose his development of severe mental illness leading to a horrific family tragedy, his acquittal by rea- son of insanity, and his subsequent commission to a mental hospital for nearly 20 years. Raised in an idyllic creative environment, mom and dad cultivating his talent, Issa watches his fam- ily’s descent into chaos in the drug-crazed late 1980s. Following his father’s death, Issa, grief- stricken and vulnerable, travels down a road that leads to psychosis—and to one of the most nightmarish scenarios conceivable. Issa receives the insanity plea and is committed to an insane asylum with no release date. But that is only the beginning of his odyssey. Institutional and sexual sins cause further punishments, culmi- nating in a heated legal battle for freedom. Writ- ten with great verve and immediacy, The Hos- pital Always Wins paints a detailed picture of a broken mental health system but also reveals the power of art, when nurtured in a benign environment, to provide a resource for recov- ery. Ultimately this is a story about survival and atonement through creativity and courage against almost insurmountable odds.

THE YEAR BEFORE THE FLOOD A Story of New Orleans Ned Sublette

In this eagerly awaited follow-up to The World That Made New Orleans, Ned Sublette’s award- winning history of the Crescent City’s colonial years, he traces an arc of his own experience, from the white supremacy of segregated 1950s Louisi- ana through the funky year of 2004–2005. By turns irreverent, joyous, darkly comic, passionate, and polemical, The Year Before the Flood juxtaposes the city’s crowded calendar of parties, festivals, and parades with the murderousness of its poverty and its legacy of racism. Along the way, Sublette opens up windows of American history: the trajectories of the city’s Mardi Gras celebrations, early rock and roll, housing projects, hip-hop scene, and sec- ond line parades. With a grand cast of musicians and barkeeps, scholars and thugs, vibrating with the sheer excitement of New Orleans, The Year “Ned Sublette is a literary Spirit Master, and The Before the Flood is an affirmation of the power of Year Before the Flood is his most personal and the city’s culture and a heartbreaking tale of loss astounding work, full of mad knowledge and that definitively establishes Ned Sublette as a great unorthodox insights about race, crime, history, American writer for the 21st century. politics, music, and all the other ingredients that flavor the righteous roux that is New Orleans.” —T.

“Illuminating and brilliant, with poetry and prose, mother and son lay bare the ravages of bipolar dis- order and the journey toward growth and under- standing. A touching, lyrical memoir.” —Jewell Parker Rhodes, award-winning author, Voodoo Dreams and Douglass’ Women

RADICAL DISCIPLE Father Pfleger, St. Sabina Church, and the Fight for Social Justice Robert McClory

During the past 35 years, Reverend Michael Pfleger, a white Catholic priest who pastors a black Chicago parish, has never been far from the spotlight. His aggressive, innovative leadership has empowered thousands, making St. Sabina church one of the largest and most active black Catholic congregations in the country. At the same time, Pfleger has been continually criti- cized as a troublemaking maverick, a renegade cleric, and a publicity hound. This biography concentrates on Father Pfleger’s work at St. Sabina from his earliest days there and covers his efforts to build up the parish, his activism, his work to rejuvenate the community, his battles with church leaders, and his strong relationship with his parishioners. It provides a fascinating look at the inner workings of the Catholic Church, the traditions of the black pulpit, and what it takes to change the laws in a major American city. Radi- cal Disciple will be essential reading for anyone interested in social change and how a dynamic preacher and an involved church community can transform a city.

In 1979 Daniel Ortega largely masterminded the Nicaraguan Revolution—the only victorious Latin American revolution since Fidel Castro’s in Cuba. Ortega was named coordinator of the governing junta and then in 1984 was elected president by a landslide in the country’s first free presidential election. The future was full of promise. Yet the United States was soon training, equip- ping, and financing a counterrevolutionary force inside Nicaragua while sabotaging its crippled economy. The result was a decade-long war.

KILLING THE POORMASTER A Saga of Poverty, Corruption, and Murder in the Great Depression Holly Metz

denying Scutellaro money, Barck had suggested the man’s wife prostitute herself rather than ask the city of Hoboken, New Jersey, for aid. The men scuffled. Scutellaro insisted that Barck fell on his spike; the police claimed he grabbed the spike and stabbed Barck. News of the poormaster’s death brought national attention to the plight of 10 million unemployed living in desperate circumstances. A team led by celebrated attorney Samuel Leibowitz of “Scottsboro Boys” fame tried to save Scutellaro from the electric chair, arguing that Scutellaro’s struggle with the poormaster was a symbol of larger social ills. Leibowitz transformed the trial into an indictment, as he put it, “of a system which expects a man to live, in this great democracy, under such shameful circumstances.” In 1938, in the early days of the welfare system, the We live in a time where the issues examined in reviled poormaster Harry Barck—wielding power Killing the Poormaster—unemployment, endemic over who would and would not receive public poverty, and the inadequacy of public assistance— aid—died from a paper spike thrust into his heart. remain vital.

PIRATE STATE Inside Somalia’s Terrorism at Sea Peter Eichstaedt

Are the Somali pirates a legion of desperate fisher- men attacking cargo ships and ocean cruisers to reclaim their waters? Or is piracy connected to crime networks and the madness that grips Somalia? What threats do pirates pose to interna- tional security? To answer these questions, Peter Eichstaedt crisscrossed East Africa, meeting with pirates both in and out of prisons, talking with them about their lives, tactics, and motives. Pirate State explores the links between the pirates, global financiers, and extremists who control southern Somalia and whose influence extends across the Gulf of Aden into Yemen and connects to extrem- ists in Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Somali pirates continue to be desperate and dangerous men who will do just about anything for money. Pirate State argues that turning a blind eye to “[A] compelling book . . .

CONSUMING THE CONGO War and Conflict Minerals in the World’s Deadliest Place Peter Eichstaedt

The remote and lawless eastern Congo is rich in resources critical to the circuitry in cell phones, computers, and other electronics—“conflict miner- als” mined under conditions of war and egregious human rights abuses. Veteran conflict journalist Peter Eichstaedt goes into these killing fields to unearth what is behind the bloodshed and to hear the stories of those who live this nightmarish real- ity. He talks with survivors of villages decimated by war and desperate miners slogging through muck while militias and renegade army units roam the jungles, killing and raping with impunity, taking the profits, and leaving villagers to grueling labor, brutality, and disease. Millions of Congolese have died, and the bloodletting continues at a frighten- ing pace. Consuming the Congo offers not only a view into the situation behind the headlines, but “Eichstaedt provides counterpoint and a glimmer examines how we, as part of the problem, can of hope in the form of possible reforms and leg- become part of the solution. islations that could restore order to a devastated region.” —Publishers Weekly

TRAVELING SOUL The Life of Curtis Mayfield Todd Mayfield with Travis Atria

Curtis Mayfield was one of the seminal vocalists and most talented guitarists of his era, and his music played a vital role in the civil rights movement. “People Get Ready” is the black anthem of the 1960s, likely one of Dr. King’s favorite songs. On his Superfly album, rather than glorifying the Blaxploitation imagery of the film, Mayfield wrote and sang a tour de force of incisive social commentary easily the equal of Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On?

Few American superstar stories are richer, wilder, or more excessive than Rick James’s. And along the way, he scored a large number of major hits, sold tens of millions of albums, and became intimate with dozens of big-name celebrities. Rick James attempted to tell his own story—in two different books—but left out many incidents that reflected badly on his character. Nobody has written the full truth about his life.

SWEET DREAMS AND FLYING MACHINES The Life and Music of James Taylor Mark Ribowsky

Remarkably, Taylor has survived: his 2015 release, Before This World, edged out Taylor Swift and went to No. 1 on the charts. Today he is in better physical (and probably mental) condition than during the whirlwind era when he influenced music so heavily, the decade when magazines and newspapers printed feverish stories about his gawky hunkiness, his love affair with Joni Mitchell, his glittery marriage to Carly Simon, his endlessly carried-out heroin habit, and sometimes even his music.

MICHAEL BLOOMFIELD The Rise and Fall of an American Guitar Hero Ed Ward Foreword by Billy F. Gibbons

This is the definitive biography of the legendary guitarist whom eminent figures like Muddy Waters and B. B. King held in high esteem, and who cre- ated the prototype for Clapton, Hendrix, Page, and everyone who followed. Bloomfield was one of the first popular music superstars of the 1960s to earn his reputation almost entirely on his instrumental prowess. He was a member of the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, which inspired a generation of white blues players; he played with Bob Dylan in the mid- 1960s, when his guitar was a central component of Dylan’s new rock sound on “Like a Rolling Stone” and at his earthshaking 1965 Newport performance. He then founded the Electric Flag, recorded Super Session with Al Kooper, backed Janis Joplin, and released at least 20 other albums, despite debilitating substance abuse. He died of including an extensive discography and Bloom- a mysterious drug overdose in 1981.

MICHAEL AND ME The Untold Story of Michael Jackson’s Secret Romance Shana Mangatal

More than six years after his death, Michael Jackson continues to fascinate the world. Shana Mangatal was one of Jackson’s only constant and true rocks of stability for nearly two decades. Their relationship was quiet and sweet and real—a closely guarded secret, known only to a few trusted employees and friends. Shana is now coming for- ward to tell their love story. Sometimes strange, sometimes surprising, always fascinating, this is the story that Jackson fans have been waiting for. Shana has kept a very detailed diary since the age of 12. Her story is rich with every little detail. She witnessed the scandals, lawsuits, the release of groundbreaking albums and subsequent world tours, big-budget short films, and addictions. Michael and Me entertains and inspires, but above all, Shana continues to treat Michael (and his legacy) with respect. This is not an exploitative tell-all, but rather a book that shows the side of Michael people never knew. In it, Shana paints a more intimate picture of this beloved, yet very misunderstood man.

When Robert Preston shouted “Ya got trouble!” in River City, when Carol Channing glided down a gilded staircase while waiters serenaded her with “Hello, Dolly!,” when Barbra Streisand defied us to rain on her parade in Funny Girl, audiences were instantly enchanted. After such indelible moments, musicals were never the same, and neither were we. These were all showstoppers, the numbers you think about that propel you to see the show again, the songs you recall whenever the show is mentioned—“Hey, Big Spender” in Sweet Charity, “Popular” in Wicked, “I Cain’t Say No” in Oklahoma!

LENNON ON LENNON Conversations with John Lennon Edited by Jeff Burger

John Lennon was a highly opinionated and con- troversial figure with a commanding personality and quick wit. And he made a point of living his adventurous life as openly as possible. Whether he was experimenting with LSD, transcendental meditation, primal therapy, macrobiotic diets, or recording techniques, the public was on board every step of the way. He spoke candidly about his intense, sometimes tumultuous relationship with Yoko Ono, his split with the Beatles, his squabbles with Paul McCartney, and just about everything else, baring his emotional ups and downs for all to see. By the time he granted his—and this book’s—final interview, only hours before his death, he had become one of the most famous people on the planet and an articulate commentator on politics, human relations, and world peace. able in any format.

Hendrix on Hendrix includes the most important interviews from the peak of Jimi Hendrix’s career, 1966 to 1970, carefully selected by one of the world’s leading Jimi Hendrix historians. In this book Hendrix recalls his heartbreaking childhood and his grueling nights on the Chitlin’ Circuit. He jokes with the judge and the jury on the witness stand, telling them that the incense in his bag was for hiding bad kitchen odors. He explains to an American TV audience that his concept of “Electric Church Music” is intended to wash their souls. And in his final interview, just days before his death, he discloses that he wants to be remembered as not just another guitar player.

JUDY GARLAND ON JUDY GARLAND Interviews and Encounters Edited by Randy L. Schmidt

“Judy Garland on Judy Garland is an insightful read into the life of an incredible woman whom I was lucky enough to call Mama.” —Lorna Luft, actress and singer

Judy Garland on Judy Garland is the closest we will likely come to experiencing and exploring the legend’s abandoned autobiography. Collect- ing and presenting the most important Garland interviews and encounters that took place between 1935 and 1969, this work opens with her first radio appearance under contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and concludes with her last known interview, one taped for Radio Den- mark just months before her death. What makes this collection unique and distinguishes it from the plethora of Garland biographies is that it places Judy in the role of storyteller. She wrote a number of essays for vari- ous publications and sat for countless print, radio, and television interviews. These and the other autobiographical efforts she made are proof that Judy Garland wanted her story told, and wanted it told in her own words. Finally, here it is.

David Buckley’s unique approach to unraveling the Bowie enigma, incorporating interviews with many of the singer’s closest associates into a bio- graphical and analytical framework, has made this book a classic for Bowie fans ever since its first publication in 1999. This revised edition captures exclusive details about the making of Bowie’s albums, his live appearances, his relationships with his bands, his composition process, and, most important, the man himself.

DIRTY BLVD The Life and Music of Lou Reed Aidan Levy

“Aidan Levy shines a light into unexamined corners of this singular life and enlarges our sense of his subject’s spiky, unforgettable character.” —Peter Blauner, author of Slipping into Darkness

Lou Reed made it his mission to rub people the wrong way, from the noise rock he produced with the Velvet Underground in the late 1960s to his polarizing work with Metallica that would prove to be his swan song. On a personal level, too, he seemed to take pleasure in insulting everyone who crossed his path. How did this Jewish boy from Long Island, an adolescent doo-wop singer, rise to the status of Godfather of Punk? And how did he maintain that status for decades? Dirty Blvd.—the first new biography of Reed since his death in 2013—digs deep to answer those questions. And along the way it shows us notoriously uncompromising rock poet who wrote the tender side of his prickly personality.

ROOM 1219 The Life of Fatty Arbuckle, the Mysterious Death of Virginia Rappe, and the Scandal That Changed Hollywood Greg Merritt

the original “trial of the century,” and a wave of censorship that altered the course of Hollywood filmmaking. It began on Labor Day, when comic actor Roscoe “Fatty” Arbuckle, then at the pinnacle of his fame and fortune, hosted a party in San Francisco’s best hotel. As the party raged, he was alone in room 1219 with Virginia Rappe, a little- known actress. Four days later, she died, and he was charged with her murder. Room 1219 tells the story of Arbuckle’s improbable rise and stunning fall—from one of Hollywood’s first true superstars to its first pariah. It explores how the earliest silent film experiments evolved into a studio-based system capable of making and, ultimately, breaking a beloved superstar. Simultaneously, it presents “Admirably evenhanded, meticulously researched, the sensational crime story from the day of the and compelling.” —New York Times Book Review “orgy” through Arbuckle’s three trials.

“When you finish this book, you will mourn Mary Wells, sure, and be grateful for the music she left. But don’t be surprised if you find that . . . you are more than a little in love with her as well.” —Wall Street Journal

Mary Wells was the first Motown solo superstar, the internationally popular songstress who sang the megahit “My Guy.” Her songs reached huge audiences in America and England, both black and white. She captivated the Beatles, toured with them, and was briefly more popular than they were on the pop charts. Wells left Motown at age 21 and spent the rest of her life trying to fight her way back to the top. Though she never managed to do so, she never gave up her struggle.

98% FUNKY STUFF My Life in Music Maceo Parker

Maceo Parker became the linchpin of James Brown’s band when he and his brother Melvin joined in 1964. His signature style helped define Brown’s brand of funk, and the phrase “Maceo, I want you to blow!” became part of the lexicon of black music. He took time off from Brown’s band to play with George Clinton’s P-Funk collective; he also formed his own group, Maceo and All the King’s Men, whose records are cult favorites among funk aficionados. His music remains a major source of inspiration from jazz to hip-hop. Here Maceo tells his own warm and astonish- ing story, from his southern upbringing to his career touring the world and playing to adoring fans. Maceo coined the phrase “2% jazz, 98% funky stuff” to describe his live shows. Celebrating over 70 years on Planet Groove and 60 on the road, “With a prose style as direct and engaging as one here is the definitive story of one of the funkiest of his trademark sax solos, Maceo Parker brings us musicians alive. deep into the world of funk with memorable stories of life with James Brown, Parliament/ Funkadelic, and his own indelible bands.” —Nelson George

COLD SWEAT My Father James Brown and Me Yamma Brown with Robin Gaby Fisher

“One of the best books to emerge since [James Brown’s] death in 2006. If you want to know what the real private life was like for James Brown and his family . . . get this book. It’s definitely an eye- opener.” —Augusta Chronicle

Being the child of a global superstar is never easy. Being the daughter of the Godfather of Soul— that’s a category unto itself. Like every little girl, Yamma Brown wanted her father’s attention, but fame, drugs, jail, and the complicated women in James Brown’s life set the stage for an uncommon childhood. Cold Sweat is about how Yamma rose to meet every challenge. Though packed with celebrity appearances ranging from Michael Jackson to Al Sharpton, Cold Sweat is not just a celebrity book. It focuses on an everyday issue faced by millions of women— domestic violence—and in this book Yamma faces it in an honest and powerfully moving way. The struggles she went through, both as a child and as an adult, make for a gripping read and, in the end, a profound examination of the nature of celebrity, violence, and survival.

STILL ON THE ROAD The Songs of Bob Dylan, 1974–2006 Clinton Heylin

“Clinton Heylin, master explicator of the Dylan canon, has, however improbably, sorted it all out for us. . . . The book is essential.” —Jonathan Lethem

The second of two volumes, this companion to every song that Bob Dylan ever wrote is the most comprehensive book on the words of America’s greatest songwriter. Clinton Heylin is the world’s leading Dylan biographer and expert, and he has arranged the songs—including a number that have never been performed—in a continually surpris- ing chronology of when they were actually written rather than when they appeared on albums. Using newly discovered manuscripts, anecdotal evidence, and a seemingly limitless knowledge of every Bob Dylan live performance, he has uncovered a wealth of information, leaving no stone unturned in his burys, why he left “Blind Willie McTell” off of Infi- research. dels and “Series of Dreams” off of Oh Mercy, what Here we learn the details of the various women broke the long dry spell he had in the 1990s, what who inspired the songs on Blood on the Tracks and material he appropriated from other sources for Desire, Dylan’s contributions to the Traveling Wil- Love and Theft and Modern Times, and much more.

One Man’s War is a gripping novel that follows the journey of one man, Bob Kafak, through his experiences as a rifleman in a frontline company during World War II. It makes visceral the fear, the filth, and the cold that were his constant compan- ions. Kafak is a reluctant hero who intentionally pisses off the brass to avoid promotion because he has seen too many of his commanding officers get blown to pieces and he doesn’t want to be next. He fights from the beaches of Anzio in Italy and battles up through the South of France toward Germany, facing one terrible heart-pounding encounter after another. Seen through Kafak’s thick-lensed army-issued glasses, the wider impli- cations of the war remain blurry while he focuses on the simple, urgent needs of survival: keep your head down, keep your feet dry, gain the next six feet of ground, and concentrate on what tomorrow will bring.

Though told in a journalistic style with a liberal use of flashbacks, the novel presents Brown’s story almost exclusively from his point of view, giving readers a complete picture of the man who has too often been dismissed as mentally deranged or hopelessly fanatical.

MAIDEN FLIGHT A Novel Harry Haskell

Maiden Flight is the true-life story of the Wright sister who in 1926 left her world-famous and intensely possessive older brother to marry news- paper editor Harry Haskell, the man she loved, and suffered the unhappy consequences. An international celebrity in her own right, Katharine embodied the worldly, independent, and self- fulfilled New Woman of the early 20th century. Yet she remained in many ways a Victorian. Torn between duty and love, she agonized for months before making her devastating break with Orville at age 52. Written by the grandson of Harry Haskell, Maiden Flight is cast in the form of three inter- woven first-person memoirs, imaginatively reconstructed from personal letters, newspaper reports, and other documents of the period—in particular, Katharine’s lively and extraordinarily tific work. Above all, the book celebrates Katha- revealing love letters to Harry. In allowing Katha- rine’s abundant store of what she called “human rine to step outside of Wilbur and Orville’s shadow, nature”—her lively and perceptive outlook on Maiden Flight sheds new light on the central role life, her great capacity for both love and indig- she played in their private lives, as well as on her nation, and her acute and sometimes crippling often misunderstood contribution to their scien- self-awareness.

apartments, coping with the daily calamities of life in Russia. Fluent in Russian, she rode public transportation, did her own shopping and cook- ing, and shared the typical Musovite’s life—unlike most Westerners who were sequestered in heavily guarded compounds reserved for diplomats and journalists. As the country experienced its most dramatic transformation since the Bolshevik Revo- lution, she realized she had stepped into a fantasti- cal and absurd adventure. Cidylo’s wry, insightful account of what it was like for an American woman living in Russia is a dramatic tale full of insouciant laughter, in which vividness and immediacy shine on every page. With the sharp eye of an acute observer, she cap- tures both the momentous events and the everyday trivia: how do Russians address one another now In 1991, Lori Cidylo shocked her Ukrainian that the familiar “comrade” is passé; or, how do Polish-born parents when she told them she was you find your way home in a city where the streets leaving her reporter’s job in upstate New York keep getting new names? As Russia even now to live and work in the rapidly dissolving Soviet continues to struggle with the Cold War’s after- Union.

KRYSIA A Polish Girl’s Stolen Childhood During World War II Krystyna Mihulka with Krystyna Poray Goddu

Few people are aware of the tragic fate of the Pol- ish victims of the Hitler-Stalin pact of August 1939. In the aftermath of German and Soviet invasions and division of Poland, more than 1.5 million people were deported from their homes in Eastern Poland to remote parts of Russia. Half of them died in labor camps and prisons or simply vanished, some were drafted into the Russian army, and a small number returned to Poland after the war. Those who made it out of Russia alive were lucky—and nine-year-old Krystyna Mihulka was among them. In this childhood memoir, Mihulka (now in her 80s) tells the story of her family’s deportation, under cover of darkness and at gun- point, by the Soviets, and their subsequent life as prisoners on a Soviet communal farm in Kazakh- stan, where they lived in deplorable conditions, enduring starvation and illness, and witnessing death, for more than two years. This untold history is revealed through the eyes of a young girl strug- gling to survive and to understand the increasingly harsh world in which she finds herself.
