Join us on the beautiful Cape Cod National Seashore as we explore Kennedy family royalty Maria Shriver's new book of poetry— yes, poetry— "I Am Maria." From growing up as the niece of JFK to marrying Arnold Schwarzenegger, always being a horse girl, and ultimately getting railed by a former Bush campaign strategist, this is one very American tall tale.

Call the reservationist, we're popping champagne with downtown restaurateur Keith McNally and his spankin' new memoir "I Regret Almost Everything." From his homosexual relationship with British playwright Alan Bennett to hitchhiking across Turkey, suic*de, medical crises, class anxieties, retro revanchist Americana aesthetics, sex with unnamed celebrities, zinc bars, and of course, Patti Smith being a bitch—it doesn't get any more NEW YORK than this. Stay tuned for Part 2 next Wednesday!
