• The interest people have in a memoir featuring a brilliant but disturbed father and a dysfunctional American family is exemplified in the seven years Jeanette Walls’s memoir The Glass Castle has remained on the NY Times bestseller list, and in the fact that a film version of the story was just released in 2017. • Mid-Century Modern, featured in the book, is still incredibly popular in architecture and design. In 2016 The NY Times published an article called “Why Won’t Mid Century Design Die?” and modernism shows up in books and films, fueled by seven years of Mad Men TV episodes and IKEA’s $37 billion in yearly sales. • A 2017 NY Times best-selling architectural thriller set in a modern glass apartment with a controlling architect (The Girl Before by J.P. Delaney: Goodreads 32,650 rating/4,000 reviews) is due out in 2018 as a film directed by Ron Howard. • There are 110,000 architects in the US and 90,000 American Institute of Architects (AIA) members. The author’s father, Woodie Garber, received the coveted national Presidential Citation award from AIA for a lifetime achievement. • Several videos of the implosion of Sander Hall, the University of Cincinnati dorm Woodie Garber designed in the 1970s, are posted online, with more than 30,000 collective views.
