In the aftermath of Aldine Younger’s tragic death, her grieving brother Owen suspects that their wealthy uncle orchestrated a sinister murder plot to cover up the theft of Aldine’s inheritance. Fast forward to 1996, when an aging Owen, burdened by the weight of the past, is compelled to discover the truth before he dies. His daughter, Joanna, becomes the key to unraveling the family’s twisted history.

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Join us on Sunday November 10th at 3:00 pm as they welcome Obi Kaufmann to the store to discuss and sign The State of Fire: Why California Burns.  

There may be no greater representation of California’s ecological crisis than its fires. In recent years, they have become larger and deadlier than ever before, forcing us to reckon with how we have failed the land and the incredible cost of that negligence. Obi Kaufmann’s lushly illustrated new book, The State of Fire: Why California Burns  explores how we got here and how we may get out.

The story of California fires is surprising and ancient. Fire has always played a vital role in our ecosystem—it fertilizes the soil, creates easier hunting grounds for certain animals, and gives space for plants to root. In short: life flourishes after fires. But the fires of today are different. Centuries of logging, a lack of controlled burns, and the spread of invasive plant species has given rise to the gigafire and its corollary problems: massive smoke covers, erosion, mass death events in animal populations.

In this heart-pounding story of deception, murder, and survival, a former Olympian retreats to the Canadian wilderness for a fresh start, only to find out that the past will always catch up to her.

Julie Adler's perfect facade is shattered by grief when her husband commits suicide. His death reveals that their luxurious California life was a house of cards, and his secret business dealings have left Julie penniless. As she strikes out on her own, Julie feels drawn to her old stomping grounds in Banff, a charming and isolated ski town where she once trained for the Olympics. She finds work as a housekeeper at a luxury resort, but just as she starts to piece together a new life, an eccentric guest turns up dead. And Julie, the last person seen in her hotel room, is the prime suspect.

The evidence is stacked against her, but even in the encroaching blizzard, Julie knows her way around these mountains. She just needs to evade the police long enough to find the truth behind the murder...and before the real killer finds her first.

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Thursday October 3rd at 6:30 pm as they welcome Henry Laporte to the store to discuss and sign Salt Hank: A Five Napkin Situation. Joining him in conversation will be Owen Han.

Amazing, big-flavor recipes for food-obsessed people from one of social media’s most beloved and popular personalities Henry Laporte a.k.a Salt Hank.

Salt Hank’s love for food began when he first tasted salami on Christmas Day at six years old, and it changed the trajectory of his life. Hank, also known as Henry Laporte, now makes big-personality videos about the most flavor-packed food imaginable for millions of die-hard fans. His TikTok and Instagram videos may not have a lot of talking (except to capture Hank’s gasps of joy when he tastes the final dish), but they do have many mouthwatering close-ups of dripping sauce, juicy meats, crispy bread, and whatever else is sure to stir the heart of viewers and leave them craving more.

Salt Hank is his first cookbook that includes an entire chapter of fried food; main courses like Bang Bang Shrimp Tacos or Duck Breast with Potato Chips and Pan Sauce; a chapter dedicated to sauces and dips because Salt Hank wouldn’t be Salt Hank without decadent sauces; plenty of recipes for pickles; and of course, sandwiches…a lot of sandwiches.

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Tuesday October 1st at 6:30 pm as they welcome Honor Moore to the store to discuss and sign A Termination. Joining her in conversation will be Victoria Rue.

In 1969, Honor Moore was twenty-three, a theater student yearning for love and working for radical change, but studying administration and keeping secret, even from herself, her wish to imagine the world by becoming a poet. There was an older lover, a professor, and, with another man, an unwanted sexual encounter. That spring, she had an abortion.

A Termination is the story of the young woman who made that decision, and of how that act of resistance, then shrouded in fear and silence, has reverberated throughout her life since. Angry, nostalgic, questioning, and romantic, the memoir pursues the associations of memory, moving from the New Haven of Yale Drama School, the Living Theatre and the Black Panthers; to the New York City of theater, jazz, and the Chelsea Hotel; the Berkshires of rock and roll at Tanglewood, and Chicago in the wake of the 1968 Democratic Convention.

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Sunday September 29th at 3:00 pm as they welcome William Cope Moyers to the store to discuss and sign Broken Open: What Painkillers Taught Me about Life and Recovery. Joining him in conversation will be Tommy Rosen.

A follow-up to his 2006 memoir Broken: My Story of Addiction and Redemption, Broken Open: What Pain Killers Taught Me About Life and Recovery, with a Foreword by Rosanne Cash,  is Moyers’s story of the ups and downs of life beyond the bright moments of early sobriety and what happened when a new crisis invaded what once seemed like a steady and secure recovery.

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Tuesday September 17th at 6:30 pm as they welcome Katherine Bucknell to the store to discuss and sign Christopher Isherwood Inside Out. Joining her in conversation will be Matt Brennan.

The story of Christopher Isherwood’s life is one of pilgrimage: away from the constraints of inheritance and empire and toward authenticity and spiritual illumination. Isherwood—the author of Goodbye to Berlin, which inspired Cabaret, and A Single Man—was born the heir to a crumbling English estate. He died an icon of gay liberation in California while his partner of thirty years, Don Bachardy, painted his death portrait.

Isherwood began his career depicting the psychological wreckage of World War I. While living in Berlin, he began to write his reputation-making fiction and (with W. H. Auden) plays inspired by the city’s nightlife, its artistic underbelly, its fevered politics. When Hitler took power, he fled with his German boyfriend, who was pursued and arrested by the Gestapo. Isherwood left Europe and found work as a screenwriter in Hollywood, where he became the disciple of a Hindu monk, Swami Prabhavananda. Together they translated the Bhagavad Gita.

Isherwood shed his family ghosts and became a chief instigator of the cultural shift that made gay liberation possible. Every step of the journey served his writing; one of our greatest diarists, he recorded his experiences and transformed them in fiction and memoir. Katherine Bucknell charts the quest of the restless, penetrating, blackly comic mind through books, films, foreign lands, love affairs, and collaborations toward self-understanding and happiness. Here is Christopher Isherwood Inside Out.

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Sunday September 15th at 2:30 pm as they welcome Gary Goldstein to the store to discuss and sign Please Come to Boston.

First times, fast times, past times...

Boston, 1975. Nicky DeMarco, a naïve but game 18-year-old, is navigating his first semester of college when he falls into a surprising—and life-altering—romantic triangle with Joe, a charismatic, big-hearted jock, and Lori, a warm and adventurous psych student. The three embark on a secret, joyous, and passionate journey of self-discovery as Nicky questions his sexuality—and all that entails. It turns into an emotional high-wire act and loyalty test with unexpected consequences for the trio's present and future, one which we flash forward to some fifty years later when Nicky and Joe reunite back where it all began.

Please Come to Boston is a vivid and evocative snapshot of that youthful time of life when the world is laid out in front of us with all its amazing, intoxicating, and terrifying possibilities—and the thorny complications that can follow.

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on  Sunday September 8th at 3:00 pm as they welcome Mansi Shah to the store to discuss and sign A Good Indian Girl.. Joining her in conversation will be Jamie Varon.

From the bestselling author of The Direction of the Wind and The Taste of Ginger comes an immersive, fun and heartfelt novel about a disgraced Indian American divorcée who spends a summer in Italy, reconnecting with her passion for cooking and reckoning with cultural expectations to make the choice of a lifetime.

Life's more fun when you ditch the recipe.

Jyoti is the “perfect” Indian American daughter: She stayed out of trouble, looked after her younger sisters, and married a man her parents approved of. So when her husband, Ashok, pushes her to quit her dream job as head chef to focus on conceiving, she obliges, knowing this will please her parents—only for Ashok to leave her when she cannot carry to term. Now unemployed, childless, and divorced, a disgrace to her Gujarati family, Jyoti books a ticket to Tuscany for the summer to visit her best friend (and fellow social outcast), Karishma.
