In
her debut novel, Hawkins uses three different narrators to explore how little
any of us really know about the lives of others. This rich psychological
thriller centers on Rachel, who, in brief glimpses from a daily commuter train,
finds what looks to her like an ideal marriage. She herself is still reeling
from a nasty divorce, drinking way too much, and in fact commutes to a job she
only pretends still to have. Then the woman she’s envied goes missing, and
Rachel is implicated in the disappearance by her ex-husband, who claims Rachel
was drunk and out of control near where the woman was last seen—but Rachel
remembers nothing. Hawkins is the former deputy personal finance editor of the Times of London. She will be in
conversation with journalist, author, and Book Maven Bethanne Patrick. Free admission.

news of strange deaths in Trinidad sends him overseas to investigate, he’s
drawn into a puzzle that may involve supernatural beings. Abdul-Jabbar is the

And Runaway Capitalism Are Screwing American Workers
Sunday,
November 1st at 1 pm
Politics
& Prose Bookstore and Coffeehouse
5015
Connecticut Ave. NW
Washington,
D.C. 20008
The author of Europe’s Promise takes a hard look at new businesses like Uber, Airbnb,
and TaskRabbit—and finds them wanting. Arguing against the sharing economy as a
model, Steven Hill shows how this libertarian economic model is unfair to
workers who are less likely to find full-time employment and more likely to
work as contractors at low compensation. Hill suggests an economic model
focused on the individual, not the workplace, is a fairer deal for America’s
labor force, which also faces displacement from robots and automation. Currently
a senior fellow with New America, Hill is a long-time journalist and
commentator. His work has been featured in The Washington Post, The Guardian,
the BBC, and C-Span. Free admission.

235 Carroll St. NW
Washington, D.C. 20012
Winner
of the G. S. Sharat Chandra Prize for Short Fiction, Lenore Myka’s first book
focuses on life in post-communist Romania, which she experienced in the
mid-1990s as a Peace Corps volunteer teaching English. Together, this
collection of stories tracks the impact of recent political and economic
changes through several strata of Romanian society, especially the
disenfranchised, traumatized, and, in side trips to America, émigrés. Virginia Pye,
author of River of Dust, draws on her family’s past
for her second novel, set in 1937 China. As the Japanese invade, Shirley, a
recently widowed American missionary, has to decide where her loyalties lie.
Torn between wanting to see her son safely out of the fray, yet drawn to the
idealism of the Chinese (and of one Red Army soldier in particular) she first
offers her home as a clinic and nurses the wounded, then, as her son faces
increasing ostracism as a “foreign devil,” decides to flee while she still can.

Alison
Bass – Getting Screwed
Monday, November 2nd
at 6:30 pm
Kramerbooks
1517
Connecticut Avenue, NW
Washington,
D.C.
20036
Alison Bass weaves the true
stories of sex workers with the latest research on prostitution into a gripping
journalistic account of how women (and some men) navigate a culture that
routinely accepts the implicit exchange of sex for money, status, or even a
good meal, but imposes heavy penalties on those who make such bargains
explicit. Along the way, Bass examines why an increasing number of middle-class
white women choose to become sex workers and explores how prostitution has
become a thriving industry in the twenty-first-century global economy.
Situating her book in American history more broadly, she also discusses the
impact of the sexual revolution, the rise of the Nevada brothels, and the
growing war on sex trafficking after 9/11. Free admission.

the larger socio-cultural changes going on around him. Free admission.

The
United States has two separate banking systems today—one serving the well-to-do
and another exploiting everyone else. How the Other Half Banks contributes to the growing
conversation on American inequality by highlighting one of its prime causes:
unequal credit. Mehrsa Baradaran examines how a significant portion of the

payday lenders and check-cashing services to cover emergency expenses and pay
for necessities all thanks to deregulation that began in the 1970s and
continues decades later. Free admission.

Wednesday, November 4th from 5:30 pm to

and Poets (5th and K location)
1025 5th St NW
Washington, D.C. 20001
Mark Weisbrot is
Co-Director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington, D.C. Failed analyzes why important economic
developments of recent years have been widely misunderstood, and in some cases,
almost completely ignored. First, in the Eurozone, Weisbrot argues that the
European authorities' political agenda played a very important role in
prolonging the Eurozone's financial crisis and pushing it into years of recession
and mass unemployment. The second central theme of Failed explores practical alternatives to prolonged economic
failure. Drawing on the history of other financial crises, recessions, and
recoveries, Weisbrot argues regardless of initial conditions, there have been
and remain economically feasible choices for governments of the Eurozone to
greatly reduce unemployment, including the hardest hit, crisis-ridden country
of Greece. Free admission.

examples from Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, the authors link entrepreneurs’
abilities to rebuild social networks, provide essential goods and services, and
foster hope in a brighter future with the implementation of social changes that
can promote greater stability than what many communities experienced before the
disaster. Free admission.

Washington,
D.C.
20036
Coming
home from the war in Iraq, U.S. Army private Roy Scranton thought he'd left the
world of strife behind. Then he watched as new calamities struck America,
heralding a threat far more dangerous than ISIS or Al Qaeda: Hurricane Katrina,
Superstorm Sandy, megadrought, the shock and awe of global warming. Rising
seas, spiking temperatures, and extreme weather imperil global infrastructure,
crops, and water supplies. Conflict, famine, plagues, and riots menace from
every quarter. From war-stricken Baghdad to the melting Arctic, human-caused
climate change poses a danger not only to political and economic stability, but
also to civilization itself, and to what it means to be human. Scranton will be
in conversation with Jonathan Wilson, environmental reporter for WAMU. Free
admission.

legal policy issues to chronicle the Bush administration’s efforts to expand

terror and the reality of the increase in drone warfare, detentions, and
surveillance that have been implemented on his watch. Along with his deep research
into current policy-making, Savage provides an overview of the key decisions
and events of the last several decades that have led to today’s national
security state. Free admission.
