When we hear that writer Mark Kurlansky is coming our way with a new book\, we're never sure which of his many enthusiasms he'll bring with him—\;but we're there because who can resist? This time he's writing fiction in which Oragnina plays a role ... as does Red Sea Salt\, Osetra caviar\, tofu\, and baseball\, all part of Edible Stories\: A Novel in Sixteen Parts (Riverhead). Here he treats food as a point of entry into human relationships\, memory\, identity\, and aesthetic experience. \\"A delicious and delectable novel by an award-winning food writer that leaves you wanting more.\\" - Kirkus Reviews. Mark Kurlansky's many other books include Salt\: A World History\, Cod\, Nonviolence\: The History of a Dangerous Idea\, The Food of a Younger Land\, and the more recent\, The Eastern Stars\: How Baseball Changed the Dominican Town of San Pedfro de Macorí\;s.

McMANUS DESCRIPTION:The first of two here this evening from over the Cascades brings us Spokane-based Patrick McManus. From his earlier humorous collections of essays—\;The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw\, The Grasshopper Trap\, Real Ponies Don't Go Oink\, and more—\;he's now been writing a popular mystery series featuring Sheriff Bo Tully of Blight County\, ID. The Huckleberry Murders (Simon &\; Schuster) is the fourth of these\, a novel in which Bo Tully has a murder suspect\, but no body or other evidence to prove a murder has been committed. Then he finds bodies\, but for these has no likely suspect. \\"In his fourth outing (after The Double-Jack Murders)\, Sheriff Bo Tully is hip deep in bodies when he finds three young men shot to death execution-style as he is out picking huckleberries for his mother ... McManus' folksy narrative keeps the reader's interest with plenty of humor\, aw-shucks moments\, and action ... Bo Tully is a treat for readers who like some western flair and an old-fashioned approach to justice in their mysteries.\\" - Library Journal.

Cedar Sigo was born on the Suquamish Reservation. En route to San Francisco and other work there\, he studied with Allen Gisnberg\, Anne Waldman\, and others at Naropa Institute. He also writes on art\, film\, and literature\, has collaborated with visual artists\, recently blogged for SF MOMA's Open Space. In the words of one\, his work \\"reflects queer identity while eschewing cliché\;d aesthetics ... exuding a mysticism redolent of the SF Renaissance.\\" \\"A reality made of poetry is all one could ask for\, and here it is—\;created of skillful\, elegant\, lyric moments and lines. A door opens to a light\, fluent room\, where narratives of 'urban mysticism' are pursued. An ear moves from 'professional music' to the sound of melting snow. Poems that breathe with a forthright intimacy.\\" - Joanne Kyger.

He breaks new ground in moving beyond Cold War thinking to assess the efficacy of specific military measures in a unipolar environment. This work is a major step in sharpening the application of U.S. military force to achieve political aims abroad.

He brings something of that perspective—\;seeing the surface\, looking beyond—\;to show how his home city Seattle works\, in the sometimes subtle\, often surprising\, layered and threaded ways communities where culture\, commerce\, and collaboration are all fostered do function. In his newly-published book of photographs and short texts\, Seattle 100\: Portrait of a City (New Riders/Peachpit)\, he presents photo and word portraits of some of the people and ensembles who do this work. With its pictures and text—\;including little listings of places noted by the people depicted—\;this book is as much a starting point for conversation and exploration as it is an arrived-at object\, albeit a beautifully produced one.

Most of the photographs here are those of intimacy and connection between loved ones—\;at different stages of life\, moments where there is both the present and a sense of something larger and longer in time. \\"The photographs of Nancy Medwell have a poignant\, piercing\, human directness and bring tenderly home to us the great central truths of human life—\;love\, loss\, passion\, humor\, and the never-ending need for deeper soul connection. They are also unobtrusively and unpretentiously sacred\, and reveal that ordinary life\, when viewed from love\, is a fountain of miracle.\\" - Andrew Harvey.
