Support for forum comes from Broadway SF, presenting Parade, the musical revival based on a true story.

From three-time Tony-winning composer Jason Robert Brown comes the story of Leo and Lucille Frank,

a newlywed Jewish couple struggling to make a life in Georgia. When Leo is accused of an

unspeakable crime, it propels them into an

unimaginable test of faith, humanity, justice, and devotion. The riveting and gloriously hopeful

parade plays the Orpheum Theater for three weeks only, May 20th through June 8th. Tickets

on sale now at Broadwaysf.com.

From KQED Public Radio in San Francisco, I'm Alexis Madrigal.

No matter what your thermometer says, it is summer reading season.

But summer reading is not all mass market paperbacks and breezy airport books.

Some people like a thick fantasy novel, Others save a gnarly literary production

for when they have some time to think. We'll talk with local booksellers and bookworms about what's

flying off the shelves, the books that got lost in the pandemic shuffle, and the titles they just

can't wait to read. And we'll look to you too for your recommendations for the beach, couch,

or campsite. That's all next on Forum, after this news.

Welcome to Forum, I'm Alexis Madrigal. It's summertime in the Bay Area, which means it's time to cozy up by the fire and read some books about tropical islands, Sacramento, and other warm places. We have a delightful panel of Bay Area booksellers and bookworms to discuss summer reading trends and the best books on the publishing

docket. They'll take your questions on what to stick in your bag for that camper van trip,

whether you're looking to dive into a weighty historical biography or plow through a pile of

pulpy fun. And we want to hear your picks too. What are you telling your friends to read this summer? Give us a call now at 866-733-6786. That's 866-7-33-6-7-86. You can also get in touch on Twitter and Facebook. We're at KQED Forum, or you can email your recommendations and questions to forum at kQED.org.
