HOWARD NORMAN, Author of WHAT IS LEFT THE DAUGHTER

Start: Wed, 08/11/2010 - 7:00pm

We're thrilled to be hosting one of our favorite authors, Howard Norman, as he reads from and signs copies of his newest novel, What Is Left The Daughter.

Norman, widely regarded as one of this country’s finest novelists, has returned to the mesmerizing fictional terrain of his major books with this stirring and morally complex story of seventeen-year-old Wyatt Hillyer. Wyatt's account of his life starting with the double suicide of his parents and leading up to the birth of his daughter unfolds in a confession that speaks profoundly of the mysteries of human character in wartime.

Howard Norman is a three-time winner of National Endowment for the Arts fellowships and a winner of the Lannan Award for fiction. His 1987 novel, The Northern Lights, was nominated for a National Book Award, as was his 1994 novel, The Bird Artist (a long time staple of our Staff Favorites display). We can't wait to welcome Howard to Green Apple, and hope you'll join us to meet and mingle and grab your signed copy of What Is Left the Daughter.

Our Videos

Green Apple's passion for books is revealed in our videos, from our ten-part Book vs. Kindle series to our Book of the Month "ads." Here is our August Book of the Month video. Or visit our YouTube channel.

Book of the Month

Each month, we present a new book that we enthusiastically recommend. Really enthusiastically recommend. This month's choice is again endorsed by multiple Green Applers. Buy it now and thank us later. Here's the "shelf-talker", courtesy of Sparks and AeRi:

Following on the heels of Remainder (2007), a book Zadie Smith called "one of the greatest English novels of the last ten years," comes Tom McCarthy's dazzlingly complex and riveting novel, C. Set at the turn of the 20th century, C - a letter signifying a number of things, from communications to coincidence to cocaine, from ciphers to Cairo to crackpots - tells the story of Serge Carrefax (another contributing "C") as he navigates through the onset of modernity, moving from an idyllic childhood in the British countryside to a series of tumultuous and formative events (he's an airman in WW1, a POW, a debaucherous student in post-war London, a spy in Egypt...). As much an adventure story as a novel of ideas, C is unlike anything you will read this year -- which is why we're so excited to select it as our "Book of the Month."
