Journalist, Eliza Griswold just won a Pulitzer Prize and a Bernstein Award for her recent book,"Amity and Prosperity: One Family and the Fracturing of America." Even at its most basic level, the book is a fascinating story about the energy boom's relationship to the natural land. But it's also a moving portrait of a family—a resolute mother trying to care for her two children, sickened by the fracking fallout. Griswold sat down with NYPL's Gwen Glazer to talk about the making of this story, immersion journalism, and where things stand in rural America today.

Dorit Rabinyan's All the Rivers is about a Israeli women and Palestinian man who meet in New York. An immediate best seller in Israel, the novel was named one of the ten best books of 2014 by Ha’aretz newspaper and won the Bernstein Award for Literature. In January 2016, the Israeli Ministry of Education banned the book from high school curriculum. Marcela reads parts of this novel, including this excerpt from : "“Here’s the thing about me.” He put his right hand on his chest like I had done. “There are three things I don’t know how to do.” “Only three? That’s not bad.” “Three things a man should know.” “Should?” “Yes. A man should know how to drive, and I don’t. I’ve never driven.” “Walla?” I said, expressing my surprise. He grinned as he had on the previous times I’d used Arabic words like walla or achla. I held up my thumb, starting to count his flaws: “You don’t drive.” “I don’t know how to shoot a gun.” Unintentionally, my thumb and finger formed a childish pistol. “Yes . . .” “And swimming. I can’t swim.” He saw my face fall. “I was born and raised in Hebron,” he said as if by way of apology. “There’s no sea there.”" Text: All The Rivers by Dorit Rabinyan. Translated by Jessica Cohen.
