09.24.09 Hope Edelman - The Possibility of Everything

Start: Thu, 09/24/2009 - 7:00pm

This memoir by Hope Edelman traces the journey her family undertakes as it attempts to rid their daughter of her curiously disruptive imaginary friend. This quest takes them to an unlikely place - Belize - and to an unlikely person: a shaman. In what Edelman describes as a "magical week," minds are opened to the unorthodox, the unexplored, and the larger unseen forces that swirl harmlessly around them. Edelman has published numerous articles, essays, reviews, and books, including Motherless Daughters, which explores the kind of parents we become if we have experienced the loss of our own mother.

Crashers (Hardcover) By Dana Haynes $24.99 Haynes's compelling first thriller takes familiar elements—a mysterious airplane crash, a bent FBI agent, a deadly female spy—and mixes them with the world of National Transportation Safety Board aviation disaster investigations. When pathologist Leonard Tommy Tomzak, sees a TV report of a nearby jetliner crash, he rushes to the site via helicopter. As other NTSB personnel make their way to the crash scene from around the country, Tommy and his local crew secure the site. The forensic details fascinate but aren't for the weak of stomach. Haynes nicely integrates several subplots involving terrorism. The slam-bang crash landing of a conclusion will leave readers anxiously awaiting the promised sequel

The Staff Recommends:


The Housekeeper and the Professor (Paperback) By Yoko Ogawa $14.00 I must confess that I purchased this book purely because of its cover - which is absolutely beautiful. There's something about shiny, blue paperbacks that's really appealed to me lately (also McEwan's On Chesil Beach and Ogawa's previous collection The Diving Pool), and this one juxtaposed pink dogwoods with mathematical symbols (what's not to love?). I was definitely pleased to find out that the text was equally memorable. Ogawa tells the tender, simple story of a housekeeper and her son, and the bond they form with a mathematician whose memory only lasts eighty minutes. The novel explores the nature of memory and relationships while describing several basic mathematical concepts in a really beautiful way that presents numbers as elegant things full of more meaning than simply quantity. It is a bit peculiar in its mixing of mathematics and writing, but its themes invite reflection, and like most of my favorite books lately, the details are perfect: a character receives the nickname "Root" because his head resembles a square root symbol - perfect.
