Reminder: Just Books Welcomes Sally Koslow Sat., July 18, 11 AM - 1 PM

Upcoming Events · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · JUST BOOKS' UPCOMING EVENTS Come See Just Books' Terrific Author Line-Up! Author Event & Book Signing SATURDAY, JULY 18, 11 AM - 1:00 PM SALLY KOSLOW THE LATE, LAMENTED MOLLY MARX Just Books 28 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT Free and Open to the Public Just Books welcomes Sally Koslow, author of the novel Little Pink Slips. Sally's essays have been published in More, O: The Oprah Magazine, and The New York Observer, among other publications. She was the editor in chief of both McCall's and Lifetime, was an editor at Mademoiselle and Woman's Day, and has taught creative writing at the Writing Institute of Sarah Lawrence College. In her new novel, The Late, Lamented Molly Marx (Ballantine Books, $25), Sally Koslow explores the bonds of fidelity, family, and friendship, through the narration of a memorable and endearing character, Molly Marx. Molly dies of mysteries circumstances while riding her bike in New York City. The book is a hilarious, deeply moving, and thought-provoking novel that is part mystery, part love story, and all heart. The circumstances of Molly Marx's death may be suspicious, but she hasn't lost her joie de vivre. Newly arrived in the hereafter, aka the Duration, Molly, thirty-five years old, is delighted to discover that she can still keep tabs on those she left behind: Annabel, her beloved four-year-old daughter; Lucy, her combustible twin sister; Kitty, her piece-of-work mother-in-law; Brie, her beautiful and steadfast best friend; and, of course, her husband, Barry, a plastic surgeon with more than a professional interest in many of his female patients. As a bonus, Molly quickly realizes that the afterlife comes with a finely tuned bullshit detector. Sally Koslow is the mother of two sons and lives in New York City with her husband. _____________________________________________________ Author Event & Book Signing WEDNESDAY, JULY 29, 7:00 PM KATE WALBERT A SHORT HISTORY OF WOMEN Just Books 28 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT Free and Open to the Public Just Books is pleased to welcome award-winning author Kate Walbert, author of Where She Went, a New York Times Notable Book of 1998; The Gardens of Kyoto, winner of the Connecticut Book Award for fiction in 2002; and Our Kind, finalist for the National Book Award in 2004. A Short History of Women (Scribner, $24), is a profoundly moving portrayal of the complicated legacies of mothers and daughters, chronicling five generations of women from the close of the nineteenth century through the early years of the twenty-first. The novel opens in England in 1914 at the deathbed of Dorothy Townsend, a suffragette who starves herself for the cause. Her choice echoes in the stories of her descendants interwoven throughout: a brilliant daughter who tries to escape the burden of her mother's infamy by immigrating to America just after World War I to begin a career in science; a niece who chooses a conventional path -- marriage, children, suburban domesticity -- only to find herself disillusioned with her husband of fifty years and engaged in heartbreaking and futile antiwar protests; a great-granddaughter who wryly articulates the free-floating anxiety of the times while getting drunk on a children's playdate in post-9/11 Manhattan. In a kaleidoscope of voices and with a richness of imagery, emotion, and wit, Walbert portrays the ways in which successive generations of women have responded to what the Victorians called "The Woman Question." A recent New York Times Book Review stated, in part, "Nearly everything about Kate Walbert's new novel is wickedly smart... Her writing wears both its intelligence and ideology lightly. No manifesto, this is a gorgeously wrought and ultimately wrenching work of art... remarkable... I found myself going back time and again to reread whole paragraphs, not because they'd been obscure, but the way one might press a finger to the crumbs littering an otherwise cleaned plate: out of a desire to savor every morsel." Walbert's short fiction has appeared in The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Best American Short Stories, The O. Henry Prize Stories, and numerous other publications. She lives in New York City and Connecticut with her family. _____________________________________________________ AWARD WINNING JUST BOOKS VOTED BEST INDEPENDENT BOOK STORE IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY!!

STEVE D’AGOSTINO TO PERFORM AT ROGER SHERMAN BALDWIN PARK

The Department of Parks and Recreation announces that Steve D’Agostino will be performing at Roger Sherman Baldwin Park on Wednesday, July 22 from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
Steve D’Agostino has been performing for more than 20 years the songs from The Great American Songbook with an emphasis on the era from Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin and Tony Bennett. Steve began his musical training quite young. At the age of 8 he studied guitar and jazz guitar with Tony Perone and Sal Salvador. By the age of 14 Steve was playing guitar with the University of Bridgeport Big Band called Collage under the direction of Gary Riggerio.

Singing began at the age of 16 with his first band called Finesse back in the early 80’s where Steve transitioned from playing guitar to vocalists. Steve’s smooth phrasing on ballads and swinging style has taken him from coast to coast performing in Las Vegas at the Paris Casino Hotel to Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Ct.

Steve maintains the tradition of this music today adding his own flair without impersonating any of the great artists that came before him. Many say that he sounds like a cross between Sinatra and Darin.

Now is your chance to see this great performer in your own backyard in Greenwich.
Bring your family, a blanket, and a picnic dinner and enjoy a wonderful night of music under the stars.

Other Wednesday night performances are:
July 29 – Gunsmoke - Country
August 5 – Bearcats - Jazz
August 12 – In Harmony – 50’s & 60’s Do Wop
