SUMMARY:Bestselling authors of THE PERSONAL LIBRARIAN return with A PAIR OF ACES!
DESCRIPTION:Join Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray\, New York Times bestselling authors of The Personal Librarian and The First Ladies\, as they launch their gripping novel\, A Pair of Aces\, about two trailblazing women on opposite sides of the law—a prosecutor and a madam—who team up to bring down notorious mob boss Lucky Luciano in 1930s New York. \nRegistration is on Eventbrite. A ticket to this program includes a copy of A PAIR OF ACES. \nKING ARTS COMPLEX is Gramercy’s Community Partner for this program. \nEunice Carter\, assistant district attorney for the City of New York and Manhattan’s first Black female prosecutor\, has her sights set on the one and only Lucky Luciano\, head of New York City’s five largest organized crime families. Other prosectors have tried to bring down Lucky\, but they’ve all focused on the crime syndicate’s traditional businesses—bootlegging\, gambling\, loan sharking\, and drug dealing—or tax evasion. No one has thought to approach the mob through its hand in prostitution. Until Eunice. But she can’t get Luciano alone. \nPolly Adler has worked long and hard to build up her high-class brothel business. Her client list is filled with well-known names\, both the famous and the infamous\, who all know her booze is top-notch\, her music first-rate\, her food exquisite\, and her girls the best. But Lucky has gone too far\, putting her girls in danger\, and Polly finally sees the chance to end his reign once and for all. \nTogether\, Eunice and Polly fashion a case utilizing a network of women. Bridging the enormous divide between them and risking their own lives\, they assemble evidence bit by bit\, under the nose of the man they’re trying to convict. It is this very alliance—of two women from vastly different worlds—that launches the most sensational trial New York City has ever seen. \nMarie Benedict is a lawyer with more than ten years of experience as a litigator. A graduate of Boston College and Boston University School of Law\, she is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Daughter of Egypt\, The Queens of Crime\, The Mitford Affair\, Her Hidden Genius\, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie\, Lady Clementine\, The Only Woman in the Room\, Carnegie’s Maid\, and The Other Einstein. She has also coauthored with Victoria Christopher Murray the New York Times bestselling The Personal Librarian\, a Good Morning America book club pick\, and The First Ladies\, Target’s 2023 Book of the Year. All have been translated into multiple languages\, and many have been selected for national book clubs. She lives in Pittsburgh with her family. \nVictoria Christopher Murray is a New York Times bestselling author of more than thirty novels\, including her most recent release Harlem Rhapsody. With Marie Benedict\, she coauthored The Personal Librarian\, a Good Morning America book club pick\, and The First Ladies\, Target’s 2023 Book of the Year. She is an NAACP Image Award Winner for Outstanding Literary Work for her novel Stand Your Ground\, which was also a Library Journal Best Book of the Year. She holds an MBA from the NYU Stern School of Business.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Bestselling Author Ross Gay in Conversation with Acclaimed Writer and Cultural Critic Hanif Abudurraqib!
DESCRIPTION:Join Ross Gay\, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Delights\, as he shares his new intimate and electrifying collection of essays\, Inciting Joy in conversation with nationally acclaimed poet\, essayist\, and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib. In these gorgeously written and timely pieces\, Gay considers the joy we incite when we care for each other\, especially during life’s inevitable hardships. Throughout Inciting Joy\, he explores how we can practice recognizing that connection\, and also\, crucially\, how we expand it. \nRegistration is on Eventbrite. The $5 admission fee is waived with the purchase of Inciting Joy.   \nKING ARTS COMPLEX and OHIO POETRY ASSOCIATION are Gramercy’s Community Partners for this program. \nIn “We Kin” he thinks about the garden (especially around August\, when the zucchini and tomatoes come on) as a laboratory of mutual aid; in “Share Your Bucket” he explores skate boarding’s reclamation of public space; he considers the costs of masculinity in “Grief Suite”; and in “Through My Tears I Saw\,” he recognizes what was healed in caring for his father as he was dying. \nIn an era when divisive voices take up so much air space\, Inciting Joy offers a vital alternative: What might be possible if we turn our attention to what brings us together\, to what we love? Full of energy\, curiosity\, and compassion\, Inciting Joy is essential reading from one of our most brilliant writers. \nRoss Gay is the New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Delights: Essays and four books of poetry. His Catalog of Unabashed Gratitude won the 2015 National Book Critics Circle Award and the 2016 Kingsley Tufts Poetry Award\, and was a finalist for the National Book Award; and Be Holding won the 2021 PEN America Jean Stein Book Award. He is a founding board member of the Bloomington Community Orchard\, a non-profit\, free-fruit-for-all food justice and joy project. Gay has received fellowships from Cave Canem\, the Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference\, and the Guggenheim Foundation. He teaches at Indiana University. \nHanif Abdurraqib is a nationally acclaimed poet\, essayist\, and cultural critic from Columbus\, Ohio. His most recent book of essays\, A Little Devil in America: Notes in Praise of Black Performance\, was a finalist for the National Book Award in Nonfiction and named one of the ten best books of the year by Publishers Weekly. He is the author of two poetry collections\, The Crown Ain’t Worth Much\, a finalist for the Eric Hoffer Book Award and nominated for a Hurston-Wright Legacy Award\, and A Fortune for Your Disaster\, winner of the Lenore Marshall Poetry Prize.
