Summer of Great Remainders
Red Hill has been able to snag some fabulous books by famous authors at recessionary prices. We're salivating as we unpack those boxes blocking the aisles -- hey, we love books, and really love these deals. We're Gaga for Gogol. Nuts over Nabokov. Dotty for Don Quixote. Rabid about Rushdie. The quality and selection is amazing. Don't think it's all Serious Literature -- we have history, psychology, lots of fun titles, and children's books too. Come on down and stock up, stack 'em up, rack up the savings, and impress everyone with your literary range AND fiscal acuity.
The End of an Era: Goodbye to Patrick & His Wonderful Storytime!
We at Red Hill are very sad to report that Patrick will no longer be doing his beloved children's storytime at the store. Patrick has been a part of the Red Hill family for four years; it has been a joy to work with him and watch his amazing development as an educator and entertainer of young children.
We wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors, and are so glad to have hosted such a great run!
Unfortunately, Patrick's departure means that we will not be hosting any children's storytimes at Red Hill for the time being. We'll be sure to you let you know when we've got something in the works!
New Titles For The Week Of March 1
The Changeling by Kenaburo Oe
The Nobel Prize-winning Japanese author is back with another dazzlingly epic novel. In pure Oe style he doesn't limit himself to single idioms or genres and his new novel is a deft mingling of humor, intellect, absurdity, and the hectic vertigo of modern life. It might remind you of a gorgeous train wreck between Maurice Sendak and Saul Bellow, with Arthur Rimbaud at the helm.
Silk Parachute by John McPhee
The prolific and boundless essayist John McPhee is back with what might be his most personal collection of essays in nearly four decades. With his signature probing levity McPhee spans everything from lacrosse to the sea cliffs of England, from the U.S. Open to the French Champagne country. In a slightly different turn, he explains throughout why each subject interested him the first place, thus informing the variety of subjects with a charming personal touch.
Confession Of A Buddhist Atheist by Stephen Batchelor
With a praising blurb . . .
New Releases at Red Hill for the Week of January 25th!
The Lost City Of Z by David Grann
Now in paperback, this is the irresistible true story of the English adventurer Percy Fawcett's attempt to track down the legendary city of gold, El Dorado. Pitted against the unfathomable obstacles of the Amazon jungle, Fawcett's tale, as beautifully told by Grann, is about the essential confrontation between humans and the natural world, between wild desire and fatal destiny.
Crazy Like Us: The Globalization Of The American Psyche by Ethan Watters
American hegemony is by now an unquestioned fact, for better of for worse. Besides all the junk food, consumerism, and abject money worship we export to all the ends of the earth, could it be, argues Watters, that our most deleterious contribution has not been fully investigated? Which is the exportation of madness. We are homogenizing how the world goes mad.
Cutting For Stone by Abraham Verghese
Now in paperback, this is a sweeping, sensuous novel about brothers and doctors, ailments and . . .
New Releases at Red Hill for the Week of January 11th!
Tuesday, January 12th:
The Godfather of Kathmandu, by John Burdett
This fourth installment of Burdett's gritty series featuring corrupt detective Sonchai Jitpleecheep is a vivid and fascinating portrait of modern Thailand. Recommended for fans of hard-boiled mysteries with a liberal dose of informative local color.
Lark & Termite, by Jayne Anne Phillips
This beautifully written novel about familial devotion, grief and survival is now out in paperback- huzzah!
Where the God of Love Hangs Out, by Amy Bloom
This new collection of stories by the author of Away is, fittingly, about love, but it also explores loss and the changes it wreaks on our lives. Marked by Bloom's trademark wit and dazzling prose, Where the God of Love is a lovely, funny, heartbreaking meditation on the big ideas. Highly recommended!
You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto, by Jaron Lanier
Two decades ago, Lanier was a Silicon Valley genius; he was one of the progenitors of virtual reality, and saw almost . . .
Sierra's Pick
Summer Is for Short Stories
Okay, I know that summer is traditionally the season in which you lug your juicy novel of choice to Dolores Park or Costa Rica or wherever you're going, but I'm going to buck the trend and suggest some stellar short story collections, just because. I did not love the form up until recently; like asparagus, beer, and crocheting, it was something I had to get a little older to appreciate. Now, I'm a huge fan, and if you try one of these books, you could be too!
1.Like Life, by Lorrie Moore
Really, all of Moore's short story collections are just fantastic, but we happen to have this one in on remainder right now. Yay! Don't be drinking anything while you read this, because it will make you snort with glee and your beverage will painfully shoot out your nose. These stories aren't just funny fluff, either; they will make you think about important stuff, like relationships and the art of writing, and you may find yourself seized with the desire to copy passages out on index cards and . . .
