Joseph Eckert, author of THE TRAVELER

Brick & Mortar Books hosts local author Joseph Eckert for the release of his debut speculative time travel novel, The Traveler. The story centers on Scott Treder, who suddenly begins leaping ahead in time. What starts as a single lost day doubles again and again until weeks and years disappear in an instant. As Scott skips forward, his wife works to keep their life intact while their son, Lyle, races through school and delves into quantum physics in a determined effort to bring his father back. Eckert grew up in northern Wisconsin, studied history at the University of Wisconsin Madison, and earned a master’s in political science from the University of Iowa. He has been writing speculative fiction since high school and is drawn to portraying believable people in extraordinary situations, and he now lives in the Greater Seattle area with his family.

Eric Moskowitz, author of THE HARDEST, LONGEST RACE, in conversation with Andrew Walsh

Author and journalist Eric Moskowitz appears in conversation with local podcaster and public radio veteran Andrew Walsh, highlighting Moskowitz’s debut nonfiction book, The Hardest, Longest Race, which recounts the first genuine coast to coast automobile contest in the United States. The book journeys back to 1909, when the nation boasted 253 car makers and M. Robert Guggenheim announced an “Ocean to Ocean” challenge from New York City to the Seattle World’s Fair. Only three American companies took the gamble at the starting line, Acme, Ford, and Shawmut, while the Itala, a costly import, also entered. Wagers leaned toward Acme and the Itala, while the modest Ford Model T and the hard-pressed Shawmut were widely dismissed. Competitors faced a 4,106 mile ordeal of mountains, mud bogs, washed out wagon bridges, and perilous canyon tracks, all in an era before paved highways, seatbelts, or service stations. Henry Ford set out to prove the Model T’s stamina and superiority. A little over three weeks after the flag dropped, a Ford arrived ahead of the Shawmut... yet the celebrated finish concealed a fraud. Moskowitz spent 12 years at The Boston Globe covering transportation and contributed to a team that earned the Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Boston Marathon bombing. His bylines include The Atlantic and The New York Times, and his work has been anthologized in The Best American Sports Writing and The Best American Newspaper Narratives. He studied American history at the University of Pennsylvania and lives near Boston with his family. Walsh hosts the podcasts Spotless, After These Messages, and Too Beautiful To Live, and previously produced and created shows for KUOW, KCRW, and New Hampshire Public Radio. He lives in North Seattle and mostly avoids cheese.

IN A LANDSCAPE: Mercer Island

IN A LANDSCAPE brings its 11th season to Luther Burbank Park on Mercer Island, where close to a mile of Lake Washington shoreline frames the setting. Large areas of the park are purposefully left natural to protect wetlands and habitats that shelter diverse birdlife and native species. The grounds have a long story, beginning in 1890 as a private school centered on horticulture and hands-on study, later taking the name of horticulturist Luther Burbank. The State of Washington assumed control in 1957, the school moved in 1966, and the land gradually became a public park. The concert unfolds near Calkins Point Sand Beach, reached with a brief walk from parking along the lakeside path. Guests settle on the grass and the small beach, with room to spread out beside the water. In this touring series, natural landscapes replace the traditional concert hall across the American West, featuring pianist Hunter Noack performing on a 9 foot Steinway concert grand. Audience members listen through wireless headphones and may wander, letting the music accompany their experience outdoors. This gathering takes place on the ancestral homeland of the Duwamish and Suquamish peoples.
