Description
HALLELUJAH JUNCTION
(Farrar, Straus and Giroux, $26)
Composer John Adams has written some of the iconic works of the last 25 years, especially operas: Nixon in China, The Death of Klinghoffer, El Niño, Doctor Atomic. Adams’s memoir is as felicitous and inventive as his music. (Nonesuch Records has released a companion 2-CD compilation of his works, also titled Hallelujah Junction.)

More about Politics & Prose
Politics & Prose
Our customers see us as a community center, a notion that we have fostered to the best of our ability. In this increasingly fragmented age people crave public places where they can relax with friends or in solitude. We have consciously attempted to provide this environment through our coffeehouse, and in the store with comfortable chairs for reading and relaxing (which we have provided since we opened fourteen years ago), and especially through our public events. We provide a mix of talks and readings to appeal to old and young, women and men, black and white—some for entertainment and others for raising issues.
