SUMMARY:Gabriel Thompson
DESCRIPTION:Editor Gabriel Thompson discusses the latest Voice of Witness book\, Chasing the Harvest: Migrant Workers in California Agriculture. \nPrasie for Voice of Witness \n“To read a Voice of Witness book is to feel one’s habitual sense of disconnection begin to fall away.”—George Saunders\, author of The Tenth of December \n“[Voice of Witness] books are amazing… beautifully produced\, with incredible editing and literary sensibility. Voice of Witness has done a better job than I’ve seen anybody do with having people tell their stories in a way that really engages you.”—Rachel Maddow\, MSNBC \n“The Voice of Witness series is a megaphone for our country’s most marginalized voices.”—Van Jones\, former special advisor to the Obama White House\, author of Rebuilding the Dream \nAbout Chasing the Harvest \nMore than a million men\, women\, and children work in American agriculture\, and yet their stories are rarely told\, their low-wage jobs are not included in minimum-wage ordinances or campaigns\, and their work remains unorganized by labor unions. This book of oral histories restores to visibility these workers\, by telling stories of hardship but also bravery\, solidarity\, and improvization in California’s farm fields. \n

SUMMARY:Edie Meidav
DESCRIPTION:The Booksmith welcomes Edie Meidav for her new story collection\, Kingdom of the Young. She’ll be in conversation with Zyzzyva’s managing editor Oscar Villalon. Join us! \nThe dynamic characters in Kingdom of the Young are searching: for adventure\, work\, love\, absolution\, better chances elsewhere. From the honeycombed caves outside the Alhambra to the streets of Havana\, from hospital wards to quinceañera parties\, these stories—along with the collection’s illuminating nonfiction coda—testify to Meidav’s vast imaginative range. \n————————–————————–————————–—– \n“Ambitious\, original\, deliciously philosophical. Kingdom of the Young invites comparison to the crônicas of Clarice Lispector and the fabulas of Italo Calvino.” – Carolyn Cooke\, author of Daughters of the Revolution \n“These stories are dazzling\, full of knowledge of the world and of the heart\, and written with the pluck and thrum of a flamenco guitarist. Meidav draws you into world after world; she makes you want to sit by your window and listen all night.” – Paul La Farge\, author of Luminous Airplanes \n“Edie Meidav’s writing is a cascade of fireworks. Her ideas are little bombs—and these stories\, fast-spinning sparklers. Her hallucinatory prose flares with color and heart.” – Leela Corman\, author of Unterzakhn \n————————–————————–————————–—– \nEdie Meidav is the author of three novels: The Far Field\, Crawl Space\, and Lola\, California. Her honors include a Lannan Literary Award\, the Kafka Award for Best Novel by an American Woman\, the Bard Fiction Prize\, a Whiting Award\, and a Howard Fellowship. Work from Kingdom of the Young appeared in Conjunctions and American Literary Review\, among other places. She teaches in the University of Massachusetts MFA program and lives in Amherst. \nOscar Villalon\, managing editor of ZYZZVA\, former books editor at the San Francisco Chronicle\, and a member of the board of directors of the National Book Critics Circle. His writing has appeared in the Virginia Quarterly Review and The Believer. \n>>> More Info Here:\nhttp://www.booksmith.com/event/edie-meidav-kingdom-young
