David Iglesias served as United States Attorney for the District of New Mexico from 2001 to 2007. He headed a panel that advised former Attorney General John Ashcroft on border security issues. A former White House Fellow, he is also a captain in the U.S. Navy Reserve. Iglesias discusses his new book In Justice: Inside the Scandal That Rocked the Bush Administration. The Bush administration’s drive to politicize the Justice Department reached a new low with the wrongful firing of seven U.S. Attorneys in late 2006. Their action has ignited public outrage on a scale that far surpassed the reaction to any of the Bush administration’s other political debacles. David Iglesias was one of those federal prosecutors, and now he tells his story.

Darin Strauss, the acclaimed author of Chang and Eng, discusses his new novel More Than It Hurts You. This literary showstopper is a beautifully realized novel that at its heart is the story of a woman who will risk everything to feel something; a doctor whose diagnosis brings her entire life into question; and a man who suddenly realizes that being a good husband and a good father can no longer comfortably coexist.

“Darin Strauss’s latest is an eviscerating portrayal of contemporary American life, surgical and exact. At turns funny and disturbing, unsparing in its insights yet generous with understanding, More Than It Hurts You is a relentlessly rewarding piece of art.”-Colson Whitehead, author of Apex Hides the Hurt

Andre Dubus III, the author of the New York Times bestseller and Oprah’s Book Club selection House of Sand and Fog, reads from and discusses his new novel The Garden of Last Days. This big-hearted, painful, page-turning novel, set in the seamy underside of American life, juxtaposes lust for domination with hunger for connection, sexual violence with family love. It is filled with the same psychological tension, depth, and realism that characterized House of Sand and Fog-and an even greater sense of the dark and anguished places in the human heart
