sally hemmings he wrote in his diary or a letter referred to sally hemmings as jefferson's substitute wife. so even as a contemporary time, that was acknowledged. so what this book is about is really the con tro dixs of jefferson. trying to understand the contradictioning s of a man who could write the declaration of independence and who had slaves or kept slaves. not freeing anyone when he died other than the hemmings' family. how he living at monticello, there's so many great details, this is not a birth to death biography. it is around several subjects to try to understand in almost like a whitmanesque way. they quote him. do i contradict myself? i am large, i c tain multitudes. that's how jefferson lived. one of the great details, i thought, once he retired after he was president, he never left the state of virginia again.

but he never left virginia. in a certain way, the contradiction of living as a patriarch among slaves, he had a very negative view or potentially negative view of slavery. living in his own world, he seemed to lose sight of what he thought virginia could be because he was living so isolated. it's a beautiful book. very thoughtful. >> you've got another one from anna quinlan. what's the newest? >> anna quinlan has written miller's valley, a novel. it's a superb book. he's a columnist, best selling novelist. this is about mimi miller and her own drowned town. she grows up on a farm and there's going to have to be a reservoir, a dam created. what happens over the 50 years of her childhood, her grown-up years and then as she looks back on what happened to this small town as it actually was flooded

david duchovny is a really, really good writer. i mean, how much praise owe i want to give on this book. one, it's hilarious on a sentence by sentence basis. great wit. but it's also heartbreaking and sad. if you can combine hilarity and sadness in a book, you're a good novelist. this is his second novel. it's really a surprise to come across a book as well-written by someone you would think it's a gimmick with him that he's written a novel. this is not that at all. it's heartbreaking. >> you're going to be talking to him. >> at barnes and noble union square on tuesday. tuesday night. april 12th at 7:00 p.m. >> okay. if you have your questions for david duchovny, i'll have some, but i know there will be a lot of questions about x files and cal fornication and buck i -- >> we skipped lust and wonder.
