2010 PEN USA Literary Award. Boswell will read from his
new novel Tumbledown, which Publishers Weekly says “is
a crowded, tender, and captivating novel, the experience of
which brings to the fore how reading itself can replenish our
love of the imperfect beauty of humanity.”
JAMES McBRIDE ’s memoir The Color of Water—about
growing up in Brooklyn’s Red Hook housing project in an
African-American and Jewish family with 11 siblings, all of
whom go on to successful careers—spent two years on the
New York Times bestseller list, sold more than 2.5 million
copies, and is now considered an American classic. His first
novel, Miracle at St. Anna, about African-American soldiers
fighting in Italy during WWII, was made into a feature film
directed by Spike Lee. About Song Yet Sung, his second novel,
The Dallas Morning News writes, “It’s hard to imagine anyone
being able to write to the caliber of Toni Morrison … but
James McBride does just that.” He co-wrote and co-produced
the film Red Hook Summer with Spike Lee. McBride is also
a jazz saxophonist and composer and has written songs for
Anita Baker, Grover Washington, Jr., and others. McBride will
read from his new novel The Good Lord Bird, based on the
abolitionist John Brown.

an international bestseller, spending more than 100 weeks

described it as “stunning …. It is rare that a book is at once
so timely and of such high literary quality.” His second novel
A Thousand Splendid Suns debuted at #1 on the New York
Times bestseller list, remaining in that spot for 15 weeks and
nearly an entire year on the bestseller list. Hosseini comes

Echoed, which Michiko Kakutani in The New York Times
calls “his most assured and emotionally gripping story yet.”
Booklist describes it as “captivating and affecting …. A masterful and compassionate storyteller, Hosseini traces the
traumas and scarring of tyranny, war, crime, lies, and illness
in the intricately interconnected, heartbreaking, and transcendent lives of his vibrantly realized characters.” Born in
Kabul, Afghanistan, Hosseini moved to the United States in
1980 and became a physician. In 2006, Hosseini was named a
Goodwill Envoy to the United Nations Refugee Agency, and he
founded the Khaled Hosseini Foundation to provide humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan.

Guardian says, “She has talent—magical, sly, cumulative—that
most writers would kill for.” Her first novel The Namesake,
described by The New York Times as “dazzling … an intimate,
closely observed family portrait,” was a New York Times
Notable Book and was later made into a feature film directed
by Mira Nair and starring Kal Pen. Lahiri’s second book of stories Unaccustomed Earth received the 2008 Frank O’Connor
International Short Story Award and was a finalist for the
Story Prize. The Philadelphia Inquirer called it “exquisite,
transcendent .… Lahiri is a writer of luminous prose and
indelible stories.” She will be reading from her new novel The
Lowland, coming out in September, which is set in India and
the U.S. and focuses on the lives of two brothers.

York Times bestseller list and later reached the #2 spot. The
New York Times Magazine, which featured it as a cover story,
called Tenth of December “the best book you'll read this year.”
The Boston Globe writes, “George Saunders captures the fragmented rhythms, disjointed sensory input, and wildly absurd
realities of the 21st century experience like no other writer.”
His other works include In Persuasion Nation, The Brief and
Frightening Reign of Phil, The Braindead Megaphone, New
York Times Notable Books Pastoralia and CivilWarLand in
Bad Decline, and the New York Times children’s bestseller,
The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip. In 2006 he was awarded

for her New York Times bestselling book Olive Kitteridge,
which contains 13 connected stories that earned her the 2009
Pulitzer Prize and a place as a finalist for the 2008 National
Book Critics Circle Award. “Funny, wicked, and remorseful,
Mrs. Kitteridge is a compelling life force, a red-blooded
original,” says the San Francisco Chronicle. Entertainment
Weekly writes, “Rarely does a story collection pack such
a gutsy emotional punch.” Her latest novel The Burgess

Boys, also a New York Times bestseller, has received rave
reviews. Praising its “poignancy and emotional vigor,” The
Washington Post writes, “The broad social and political
range of The Burgess Boys shows just how impressively this
extraordinary writer continues to develop.” The New York
Times Book Review says, “Strout handles her storytelling with
… intelligence and low-key humor, demonstrating a great ear
for the many registers in which people speak to their loved
ones.” She is also the author of the critically acclaimed novels
Amy and Isabelle, which won the Los Angeles Times Art

Heartland Prize, and Abide with Me, a national bestseller and

DANIEL ALARCÓN ’s “stories are one of the reasons why we
go to storytellers—they present worlds we have only imagined
or heard about in less truthful and poetic ways,” says novelist
alarcón
Edward P. Jones. Peruvian-born Alarcón’s first story collection
War by Candlelight was a finalist for the PEN/Hemingway Award.
His novel Lost City Radio won the 2009 International Literature
Prize, the 2008 PEN USA Novel Award, and was named a Best
Book of the Year by the San Francisco Chronicle, Financial
Times, The Washington Post, and Chicago Tribune. The Guardian
writes, “Lost City Radio is a book of extraordinary power …

second to none.” The Minneapolis Star Tribune hails, “reading
Alarcón feels like witnessing the arrival of a John Steinbeck or
a Gabriel García Márquez.” Granta magazine named Alarcón one
of the best American novelists under 35, and in 2010 The New
Yorker named him one of “20 Under 40.” Co-founder of Radio
Ambulante, Alarcón will read from his new novel At Night We

New York Times Notable Book, was named a Book of the Decade
by The Guardian, was shortlisted for the Man-Booker Prize, and
was made into a film directed by Mira Nair. His latest novel How
to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia “reaffirms his place as one of his
generation’s most inventive and gifted writers,” says Michiko
Kakutani in The New York Times. The International Herald
Tribune advises, “If you read just one book this spring to understand how the world is changing, it should be Mohsin Hamid’s
new novel,” and Vogue describes it as “wonderfully astringent ….
supermodels stalk city billboards; a drone hovers ominously in

intimacies that keep us tethered in a rapidly changing world.”
Ondaatje as “the most exciting poet writing today.” Often considered “unclassifiable” because of the way her work blends
genres, Carson is known for using her background as a classicist to explore themes that fuse the Greek classics with
issues of contemporary life. The New Yorker writes that “the
pleasure of her writing is that it is both entirely new and
strangely familiar, like remembering a private language we
thought we’d forgotten.” A MacArthur Foundation “genius”
fellow, Carson is author of many highly praised works, including Men in the Off Hours; Autobiography of Red: A Novel in
Verse, which was named a New York Times Notable Book in
1998 and was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle
Award; and The Beauty of the Husband. Her most recent collection red.doc> is a sequel to Autobiography of Red. The New
York Times Book Review calls red.doc> “breathtaking … stunning …. Anne Carson has a history of doing unpredictable and
genre-crossing things …. [Her] palatable, popular, sophisticated and who-cares approach may have done the most and
best work in the last two decades to stop people worrying so
much about what’s poetry and what’s not.”
