Local writer and microblogger extraordinaire Matt Stewart will be paying us a visit at Green Apple to read from and sign copies of his new book, The French Revolution. The French Revolution is the hilarious, tragic, and deeply imaginative story of a San Francisco family forging its place in history. In this debut novel, first published in 140 character bursts on Twitter, Stewart blends vibrant prose, unforgettable characters, and a multi-layered plot based on the extremes of the historical French Revolution for a relentlessly entertaining debut novel. And, as Andrew Leland wrote in a recent review of the book for SFGate, "the real tour de force comes when he lets his sentences run off-leash through the streets of San Francisco. The city Stewart describes will be instantly recognizable to anyone who lives here." We hope you'll join us on August 12th to celebrate the City, the combined power of social networking and good old fashioned publishing, and of course, la revolution. | 19

Joing us as Robert Elias slides into Green Apple Books to celebrate his newly released investigation into the history of baseball, The Empire Strikes Out: How Baseball Sold U.S. Foreign Policy and Promoted the American Way Abroad.

Elias assesses the effects of this relationship both on our foreign policies and on the sport itself. Driven by compelling stories, unusual events, and unique individuals, the seamless integration of original research and compelling analysis makes this a baseball book that's about more than just sports. Come meet Robert Elias, talk a little baseball, and pick up a signed copy of The Empire Strikes Out, a must have for lovers of the great--and complex-- American game. | 20
