In The Day After: How to Wield Power in a Post-Trump World, Brian Tyler Cohen—a&nbsp;progressive independent media creator and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shameless—explores how Republicans have abused power, how Democrats have refused to exercise power when they held it, and how progressives should wield power if they are fortunate enough to win a free and fair election in a post-Trump world. 
This book is a wake-up call about the decades-long project that led to Trump’s America&nbsp;and a&nbsp;playbook for progressives who want to do far more than restore the status quo.&nbsp;To Cohen, this is how we build a stronger country, with hope and opportunity for all — before our democracy slides into a distant memory. 
Cohen’s&nbsp;YouTube channel&nbsp;has&nbsp;five billion views and counting. His&nbsp;podcast, “No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen,”&nbsp;is a destination for the top names in politics.&nbsp; 
Cohen will be in conversation with journalist <a href="https://jimacosta.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Jim Acosta</a>, host of “The Jim Acosta Show” and former Anchor and Chief White House Correspondent at CNN.

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Underground Railroad and two-time Pulitzer winner comes Cool Machine, a novel that brings to life 1980s New York in the final volume of his Harlem Trilogy.
New York City is beginning to emerge from financial decline, energized by real estate development and a Wall Street unchained by Reagan-era predatory capitalism. In Harlem, business owner/master fence Ray Carney has just been named Sterling Furniture’s Dealer of the Month. When the banks won’t give his wife a loan for her new travel agency, Carney gambles on one last heist, and finds himself entangled with Pepper, a legendary criminal mastermind.
Carney has always been haunted by his inability to save his cousin Freddie. Now, twenty years after Freddie’s death, he has a chance to rescue Freddie’s son from the violent forces of the city, but it will mean risking the safety and security he’s spent decades building for his family, with only one shot to get it right. Cool Machine roves all over a city in transition, from Windows on the World to the Meadowlands, to show that in New York, it’s what’s below the surface that reveals the truth.This program will be a 30-minute lecture by the author, followed by 30 minutes of pre-collected audience questions.

Bestselling author Caroline Chambers is a mom of four young boys and a Substack recipe developer who famously doesn’t feel like cooking—and she’s built a whole brand on that premise. Her third book, What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking: Make It Fast, is the ultimate guide to making easy, crowd-pleasing dinners in under 30 minutes.Focused on eliminating unnecessary steps, minimizing dirty dishes, and making dinnertime as accessible as possible, the cookbook features 100 stress-free dinner recipes—all of which are complete meals—with no more than half-an-hour hands-on time in the kitchen. In the “15 Minutes” and “30 Minutes” chapters, make dishes such as flank steak with elote salsa and fish and veggie curry. Recipes in the “Walk Away” chapter are perfect for the home-chef who’s busy but not in a rush, so they can let rotisserie-ish chicken with schmaltzy lemon dressing roast while folding a pile of laundry. Every recipe features Chambers’ signature swaps, riffs, tips, and shortcuts to empower the home chef to make the recipes work for them.
All books will be pre-signed by the author. A limited number of tickets include access to a post-event signing for those who would like their name added to their book.

From doing our taxes to applying for financial aid, housing assistance, unemployment, disability, or Medicaid, dealing with government bureaucracy can be a nightmare. The hoops we must jump through—the paperwork, aggravation, and mental effort imposed on citizens to access their rights and benefits—are what journalist and <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/author/annie-lowrey/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Atlantic staff writer</a> Annie Lowrey has termed the “time tax.” So how did the world’s wealthiest country end up with such a convoluted, punitive, and inept system of public admin­istration?
In The Time Tax: How the Government Wastes Our Time—and How to Fix It, Lowrey traces the history of administrative burdens in the U.S. from the Civil War to today, revealing how they were historically built as a tool of discrimination. She examines the effect of time taxes on civic life, from how they amplify inequality and entrench poverty to how they reduce trust in government. Lowrey shows that it doesn’t have to be this way and provides a point-by-point guide for reclaiming our precious time.
Lowrey, also the author of Give People Money, will be in conversation with her husband Ezra Klein, a columnist and podcast host at The New York Times and the co-author of Abundance.

After the 2024 election, Sarah Longwell—CEO and Publisher of The Bulwark and host of “The Focus Group” podcast—did what she’s done nearly every week for the past eight years: She sat down with voters. She conducted hundreds of focus groups, listening to thousands of ordinary Americans from across the political spectrum with the goal of understanding politics through the eyes of the people who will decide our country’s future.
American voters, and what they want for their country, are at the heart of How to Eat an Elephant. Drawing on her own unlikely political journey from a lesbian Republican operative to the vanguard of the anti-MAGA movement, Longwell offers an explanation of how we got here and presents a playbook for building a coalition to defeat authoritarian populism for good, one that’s designed to appeal to the most important but overlooked people in the country: the voters themselves.
She answers the question: How do you eat an elephant? One voter at a time.
Longwell will be in conversation with Kara Swisher, host of “On with Kara Swisher” and co-host of the “Pivot” podcast. She’s editor-at-large at New York Magazine, co-founder of the technology website, Recode, and the author of Burn Book: A Tech Love Story.

From R.F. Kuang, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Katabasis and Yellowface, comes Taipei Story, a humorous and moving coming-of-age novel that grapples with grief, language, and culture shock.
College freshman Lily Chen is spending the summer in Taipei at an intensive language program like so many Chinese American students before her, hoping to connect with the culture she inherited but never fully understood. A promising start quickly unravels: Her classes are grueling, her roommate is driving her insane, and classmates are gossiping about her. Lily feels adrift, a foreigner in a country she thought would feel like home.
Then, Lily’s grandfather passes away, sending her on a search for understanding—of herself, her family, and the meaning of home. Taipei Story asks: What if the diaspora fantasy of homecoming never comes true? What if learning a language can’t bring you any closer to the people you’re trying to reach? What if your family doesn’t want to share its history? What if you wait too long to ask the right questions?Kuang will be in conversation with <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/by/amy-qin" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Amy Qin</a>, a national correspondent for the New York Times covering Asian American communities across the country. Qin has previously lived in Beijing, Taipei, and Hong Kong.

To mark the paperback release of the #1 New York Times bestseller, The Women, author Kristin Hannah shares more about this intimate portrait of a woman coming of age in a dangerous time and an epic tale of a nation divided by war and politics, as well as her other celebrated works, including The Nightingale, The Great Alone, and The Four Winds.
A former lawyer turned writer, Hannah is the author of more than twenty novels. Hear about her writing process, inspirations, and what’s it’s like to see her writing go from page to screen. The Nightingale is being adapted into a film, with Dakota and Elle Fanning set to star, and Firefly Lane was adapted into a hit Netflix series.
The Women is set in a turbulent and transformative era in America: the 1960s. When the brother of 20-year-old nursing student Frances “Frankie” McGrath ships out to serve in Vietnam, she joins the Army Nurse Corps and follows his path. Overwhelmed by the chaos and destruction of war, the real battle lies in coming home to a changed and divided America. The Women is the story of one woman gone to war, but it shines a light on all women who put themselves in harm’s way and whose sacrifice and commitment to their country has too often been forgotten.

Eight years after redefining “flavor without fuss,” Yotam Ottolenghi—one of the most influential voices in contemporary food—offers Simple Too, the follow-up to his bestselling cookbook, Ottolenghi Simple. In a world of endless notifications, Ottolenghi explores what “simple” means now and why bold flavor remains at the heart of simplicity. In conversation, he’ll share recipes that work with you, not against you, and dishes you can begin with half a plan and still end with a deeply satisfying meal.
Ottolenghi will dive into the ingredients and techniques that shape this new collection: beans simply dressed, black chickpeas, sesame in generous handfuls, sweet-and-spicy balances, pasta cooked directly in its sauce, and whole meals roasted in a single tray. He’ll also introduce the “Fundamentals” chapter—fifteen fridge-ready flavor builders like spring onion oil, green salsa, za’atar oil, confit tomatoes, and chilli crisp—small things that make big differences on busy weeknights. Simple Too is less about doing less and more about making everyday cooking feel generous, achievable, and full of joy.Renowned for his vegetable-forward cuisine and imaginative approach to everyday cooking, Ottolenghi’s acclaimed cookbooks include Plenty, Jerusalem, Simple, Flavor, and Sweet. His work extends to successful delis and restaurants, where bold combinations, fresh produce, and multicultural inspirations meet.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjunnZq5ArgycpGBkOVLUMA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Listen to Chelsea Wolfe</a>
Acclaimed musician, songwriter, and multidisciplinary artist Chelsea Wolfe returns with new music at the center of a world that she is only beginning to reveal. “The Dark” and “Death is Not the End” arrive after a week of fan speculation, sparked by cryptic imagery, fragments of sound, and the shadowy visual language teased by Heretic Parfum across its socials.
Wolfe has become one of the most singular artists in the world, moving fluidly between doom metal, folk, industrial, electronic music, and spectral balladry. She has collaborated with artists including Deftones’ Chino Moreno, Xiu Xiu, and Converge, had her music featured in HBO’s “Game of Thrones,” co-wrote the score for the A24 horror film X with Tyler Bates, and turned heads at last year’s Ann Demeulemeester show at Paris Fashion Week.Known for building immersive worlds where darkness and beauty are indistinguishable, Wolfe has cultivated a devoted global following through music that explores transformation, spirituality, grief, longing, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. With these new songs and GHOSTS arriving in close succession, she opens the door to a new chapter that feels unmistakably her own.
