Meet Renee Rosen in Coversation with Marion Purcelli November 18th at 6pm
November 18 at 6pm - Author Renee Rosen will be in conversation with former Chicago Tribune editor Marion Purcelli, model for the lead character in Rosen’s novel, White Collar Girl
In White Collar Girl, bestselling author Renee Rosen explores the Chicago Tribune newsroom of the 1950’s. Meet Jordan Walsh, a woman from a family of esteemed reporters—and with connections to luminaries like Mike Royko, Nelson Algren, and Ernest Hemingway. The novel chronicles her struggles to be taken seriously as a society reporter at The Chicago Tribune.
Praised for her ability to bring history to life, Rosen’s fascinating novel captures the inner workings of a 1950’s newsroom and the essence of living in a time when career-minded women were not taken seriously and men dominated the workplace. Packed with moments of palpable tension, excitement, and a hint of romance, White Collar Girl is an extraordinary tribute to an important time in Chicago’s history and one of the Windy City’s most illustrious institutions.
Former Tribune editor Marion Purcelli was one of the employees Rosen consulted with (and was inspired by) when creating Jordan Walsh. Rosen and Purcelli will speak about Purcelli’s experiences as a woman breaking through the glass ceiling in a male-dominated industry informed Rosen’s book.
This event is organized by the Chicago Book Expo, a free celebration of all things local and literary, with over 90 local presses and authors selling their books and over a dozen readings, workshops, and panel discussions. It happens Saturday, November 21, 2015, from 11am to 5pm at Columbia College Chicago; find out more at www.chicagobookexpo.org.
Renée Rosen is the bestselling author of What the Lady Wants and Dollface, as well as the young adult novel, Every Crooked Pot. Her acclaimed novels expertly combine Chicago’s rich history with remarkable storytelling. She lives in Chicago. Visit her online at ReneeRosen.com, Facebook.com/ReneeRosenAuthor, and @ReneeRosen1.
Marion Purcelli began working for the Chicago Tribune the day after she graduated from high school. She spent the next 27 years there. She started her career as a copy girl, before moving to the Radio-TV department. She began doing the program listings and soon graduated to editing the work of others. She did the layout, design, and makeup of the Sunday TV pages, and, ultimately, all the spade work for creation of the TV Week - for which she also wrote. After her success in writing news stories for the daily paper about television coverage of the Kennedy assassination, she became an associate editor of the Sunday Magazine, focusing on entertainment stories. In the early 70s she became assistant to the Sunday Features editor, and shortly thereafter was appointed editor of the Sunday Lifestyle section. In late 1976 she left the Tribune to become vice president of corporate communications for a large real estate firm whose main business was condominium conversion.

November 7th 6pm Meet author Derek Haas
What happens when an elite assassin becomes a father? Acclaimed author and screenwriter Derek Haas explores the answers in A Different Lie, a unique and thrilling twist on a family story. Mr. Haas will be celebrating his new novel with a reception and signing here with us from 6pm onward.
Now a new dad, Columbus, the infamous “Silver Bear,” finds himself staying up late for feedings and changing diapers—all while leading the double life of a contract killer.
The struggle is not with his conscience. He enjoys his gig. But a child forces him to weigh selfishness versus safety: continue his line of work, and he’ll always wonder if he’s putting his child’s life at risk. His wife, Risina, serves as his fence, and like Columbus, she’s good at her job and likes doing it—an unusual take on working motherhood.
When the next assignment comes in, both Columbus and Risina are surprised to find that the mark is another assassin: a brash, young killer named Castillo, an assassin on the rise. Even Columbus is impressed with Castillo’s tenacity and talent. And as he closes in on his target, Columbus realizes that Castillo is a younger version of himself. It’s almost like looking in a mirror. Castillo, for his part, has even studied Columbus’s work.
But Columbus’s assignment is clear and there is no turning back. Yet Castillo quickly learns that his hero and unwitting mentor has a family—a revelation with enormous ramifications.
Mr. Haas is currently the lead writer on “Chicago P.D.,” “Chicago Fire,” and the forthcoming “Chicago Med.” Additionally, he and his screenwriting partner Michael Brandt are the force behind such kinetic screenplays as the blockbuster hit Wanted, the critically acclaimed 3:10 to Yuma, and The Double. Haas and Brandt also created and executive produce the hit show Chicago Fire, currently airing on NBC. He is also the author of The Assassin trilogy, the best-selling Silver Bear trilogy novels, Columbus, Dark Men, and The Right Hand, which was recently optioned by Universal Pictures. Derek currently lives in Los Angeles and is the editor of Popcornfiction.com, which promotes genre short fiction from top screenwriters and authors.

ROOM tells the extraordinary story of Jack, a spirited 5-year-old who is looked after by his loving and devoted Ma. Like any good mother, Ma dedicates herself to keeping Jack happy and safe, nurturing him with warmth and love and doing typical things like playing games and telling stories. Their life, however, is anything but typical - they are trapped - confined to a windowless, 10-by-10-foot space, which Ma has euphemistically named "Room." Ma has created a whole universe for Jack within Room, and she will stop at nothing to ensure that, even in this treacherous environment, Jack is able to live a complete and fulfilling life. But as Jack's curiosity about their situation grows, and Ma's resilience reaches its breaking point, they enact a risky plan to escape, ultimately bringing them face-to-face with what may turn out to be the scariest thing yet: the real world.

Go Set a Watchman a new novel by Harper Lee coming July 14th
An historic literary event: the publication of a newly discovered
novel, the earliest known work from Harper Lee, the beloved, bestselling
author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, To Kill a Mockingbird.
Originally written in the mid-1950s, Go Set a Watchman was the novel Harper Lee first submitted to her publishers before To Kill a Mockingbird. Assumed to have been lost, the manuscript was discovered in late 2014.
Go Set a Watchman features many of the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird some twenty years later. Returning home to Maycomb to visit her father, Jean Louise Finch—Scout—struggles with issues both personal and political, involving Atticus, society, and the small Alabama town that shaped her.
Exploring how the characters from To Kill a Mockingbird are adjusting to the turbulent events transforming mid-1950s America, Go Set a Watchman casts a fascinating new light on Harper Lee's enduring classic. Moving, funny and compelling, it stands as a magnificent novel in its own right.

Free book signing for Asylum June 25th
Jeannette
de Beauvoir will
be at After-Words books on June 25th from 5:30 pm talking about and signing
copies of her book Asylum (St.
Martin’s, Hardback, $25.99).
Asylum delves back to the 1950s, when
orphanages in Montreal and elsewhere were converted to asylums in order to
gain more funding. The children were subjected to horrific experiments such as
lobotomies, electroshock therapy, and psychotropic medication, and many of
them died in the process. The survivors were supposedly compensated for their
trauma by the government and the cases seem to have been settled. Ms. De
Beauvoir will discuss the story and the research behind it.
Ms. De
Beauvoir’s work has been translated into 12 languages and has appeared in 15
countries. She explores personal and moral questions through historical
fiction, mysteries, and mainstream fiction. She grew up in Angers, France, but
now divides her time between Cape Cod and Montréal. Read more at www.jeannetteauthor.com

Calendar, Updates and Closings...
QUICK REFERENCE CALENDAR
- · April 28 & 29 CLOSED FOR NEW WINDOW INSTALLATION
- · May 1 BEGIN BUYING BOOKS FOR STORE CREDIT, 25 OR LESS, ANY DAY ANY TIME
- · May 5 BEGIN ACCEPTING APPOINTMENTS FOR CASH BOOK BUYING (SMALLER QUANTITES AT A TIME PREFERRED). ALSO, BEGIN ACCEPTING APPOINTMENTS FOR LARGER QUANTITY STORE CREDIT BOOK BUYING.
Dear after-words customers:
Thank you so much for your patience with us as we have gone
through this re-modeling period.
We have now been open for about 6 weeks in our renovated
space. We still have some details to
work out, but get more comfortable every day in our re-configured digs.
Unfortunately, as often happens when you do this kind of
work, we hit a few bumps along the way. We were unable to have our new front doors and
windows installed during the month we were closed. It was simply too cold outside.
So, we will have to be closed again as our front doors and
windows get the same kind of face-lift that the rest of the space got. The good news is, this time it will only be
for two days.
We will be CLOSED on Tuesday April 28th and Wednesday April 29th for this work to be
completed. Again, my apologies.
The other bump we hit was concerning the installation of a
new coffee bar by Bowtruss. There are a
lot of plumbing challenges in buildings as old as the one we occupy, so we have
been working towards that goal. But we
are not there, yet. Still, the coffee
bar will be coming. We hope it will be
open sometime in June. If it doesn’t
happen by then, we look forward to welcoming them whenever the details can be
sorted out.
For those of you who have sold us books in the past, you
will be happy to know that we will be resuming our buying as of May 1st. Most of our guidelines are remaining the same
– in terms of what we buy and the condition we expect the books we buy to be
in. The major changes are to when we buy.
We will no longer be running our Thursday round-ups for cash
book buying. In fact, cash buying will
now be by appointment only. The good news is, there will be more
appointments available than there were before.
Also, appointments will be accepted for small quantities of books as
well as for larger quantities. Smaller
quantities would be our preference. Keep
in mind, if you choose to sell less books at a time, but do so more frequently,
you will get in a lot faster.
As for those of you who are selling for store credit, you
can still bring them in at any time during our store hours – provided that you
bring in 25 books or less each
time. Again, we prefer the smaller
number of books per visit. But if you
want to do more than 25 all at once, we can make appointments for you as well.
Lastly, as part of our renovations, our new shared event
space has been completed. It is run by
Space by Doejo, a group that also runs the fifth floor of our building and will
soon take over the second floor as well.
They have already had all kinds of events back there – everything from
hack-a-thons to pop-up restaurants and conferences. We will also be hosting authors again
beginning in June, as well as doing our charity book sale and other kinds of
readings and events. So stay tuned for
more on that. If you love the new event
space as much as we do, consider it for your own parties. In conjunction with Space, we can rent it to
you. Just contact us for more
information if you are interested.
By the way – we have LOTS of boxes left over from our
renovation period. Some are even
unused. Contact us for details if you
are interested in buying any.
Thanks for reading all of
this. I hope you are as excited by the
changes at after-words as we
are. And thanks for remaining patient while
we continue to get our act together.
Beverly Dvorkin
