Luis Negron: Mundo Cruel: Stories (Signed Edition)
Luis Negron's debut collection reveals the intimate world of a small community in Puerto Rico joined together by its transgressive sexuality. The writing straddles the shifting line between pure, unadorned storytelling and satire, exploring the sometimes hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking nature of survival in a decidedly cruel world. (Seven Stories Press)
"Hilarious and heart-wrenching, provocative and pitch-perfect, each story is a tiny, transgressive explosion. I feel inadequate to the task of expressing just how wonderful this book is...read it slowly, and listen close; here is a master storyteller at his finest."--Justin Torres, author of "We the Animals"
Mr. Negron will be joined by the book's translator Suzanne Jill Levine

Brian Boitano: What Would Brian Boitano Make?: Fresh and Fun Recipes for Sharing with Family and Friends (Signed Edition)
What do cooking and figure skating have in common? They are both creative, take lots of practice, and have so many layers, as self-taught cook Brian Boitano has learned. He began exploring different foods and teaching himself to cook during his Olympic career when he toured the globe for competitions, trying new foods. Now he takes every opportunity possible to sample new foods, try out new combinations in the kitchen, and test them on friends and family. And that self-taught cooking has since led to his popular show on the Cooking Channel and this companion cookbook. Every recipe can be made by cooks of any skill level, so "get your cook on" with Brian's fabulous culinary creations and impress your guests! (Lyons Press)
A Tribute to Morton Downey Jr.
The most explosive and zeitgeisty televised force of nature since the birth of MTV, Morton Downey Jr. forever altered the American broadcast landscape in a blast of cigarette smoke, fistfights, in-your-face populist ranting, nasty epithets and good, old-fashioned showmanship. Billed as “3-D television” and “rock and roll without the music”, The Morton Downey, Jr. Show was the most addictive talk show of its kind to ever hit the airwaves, with its maniacally whirlwind host oozing attitude while his rabid, droogish studio audience throbbed in the background. Predating today’s omnipresent tsunami of trash TV, this late-’80s phlegmatic wonder tore up the tube, fashioning the “discussion” of crazy current events (phone sex, heavy metal, the Rev. Al Sharpton) into a giddy, unforgettable gladiator pit. Tonight, we toast the host-with-the-most with a tightly-wound mix of MDJ Show high-/lowlights, and the Los Angeles premiere of Évocateur: The Morton Downey, Jr. Movie — the brand-new feature documentary dissecting the mind and motivation of television’s most notorious agitator. Évocateur co-director Jeremy Newberger in person for Q&A after the film!

John Rocco: Super Hair-O and the Barber of Doom
Every super hero gets his powers from somewhere. The young hero of this book, Rocco, thinks his abilities come from his shock of red hair, and the longer it gets, the stronger he becomes. He even has a posse of super friends with wild hair of their own. Our hero is unstoppable--until the day he's dragged to the super evil villain's lair and robbed of his powers. How will he face his friends? Will he ever regain his super hero-ness? A girl who has been watching all along offers the gang a chance to save the day and get their groove back.
