SUMMARY:Smut: An Unseemly Story (The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson)
DESCRIPTION:One of England’s finest and most loved writers\, Alan Bennett\, explores the uncomfortable and tragicomic gap between people’s public appearance and their private desires in this tender and surprising story. In The Greening of Mrs. Donaldson\, a recently bereaved widow finds interesting ways to supplement her income by performing as a patient for medical students\, and renting out her spare room. Quiet\, middle-class\, and middle-aged\, Mrs. Donaldson will soon discover that she rather enjoys role-play at the hospital\, and the irregular and startling entertainment provided by her tenants.A master storyteller dissects a very English form of secrecy with this story of the unexpected in otherwise apparently ordinary lives.  Directed by Amy Kossow.

SUMMARY:Danielle Krysa
DESCRIPTION:This book is duct tape for the mouth of every artist’s inner critic. Silencing that stifling voice once and for all\, this salve for creatives introduces ten truths they must face in order to defeat self-doubt. Each encouraging chapter deconstructs a pivotal moment on the path to success—fear of the blank page\, the dangers of jealousy\, sharing work with others—and explains how to navigate roadblock. Your Inner Critic is a Big Jerk is packed with helpful anecdotes\, thoughts from successful creatives\, and practical exercises gleaned from Danielle Krysa’s years of working with professional and aspiring artists—plus riotously apt illustrations from art world darling Martha Rich—this book arms readers with the most essential tool for their toolbox: the confidence they need to get down to business and make good work.

SUMMARY:Annie Hartnett
DESCRIPTION:Annie Hartnett discusses her new novel\, Rabbit Cake\, with Ellen O’Connell Whittet. \nAbout Rabbit Cake \nFans of Maria Semple’s Where’d You Go Bernadette and and Celeste Ng’s Everything I Never Told You will delight in Annie Hartnett’s debut\, a darkly comic novel about a young girl named Elvis trying to figure out her place in a world without her mother. \nTwelve-year-old Elvis Babbitt has a head for the facts: she knows science proves yellow is the happiest color\, she knows a healthy male giraffe weighs about 3\,000 pounds\, and she knows that the naked mole rat is the longest living rodent. She knows she should plan to grieve her mother\, who has recently drowned while sleepwalking\, for exactly eighteen months. But there are things Elvis doesn’t yet know―like how to keep her sister Lizzie from poisoning herself while sleep-eating or why her father has started wearing her mother’s silk bathrobe around the house. Elvis investigates the strange circumstances of her mother’s death and finds comfort\, if not answers\, in the people (and animals) of Freedom\, Alabama. As hilarious a storyteller as she is heartbreakingly honest\, Elvis is a truly original voice in this exploration of grief\, family\, and the endurance of humor after loss \n

SUMMARY:Lunada Literary Lounge
DESCRIPTION:Lunada’s Spring 2017 Season Closer features Saint-Hills\, DJ Glo\, and 10 spots on our Open Mic. \nOpen Mic sign-up at 7:15pm: 10 spots on the list\, 5 min. each\, inviting poets\, emcees\, singer/ songwriters\, storytellers\, laureates\, and first-timers to share their voices under the lunar spotlight.\nLunada closes a phenomenal 2017 Spring season with much pride\, featuring Brazilian emerging artist\, singer producer Saint-Hills\, and Nuyorican DJ Glo – spinning tribal\, caribbean\, latinx\, and afro beats. With deep love for our pueblo\, we enter the summer on our feet\, dancing under the full moon at Galeria de la Raza. \nHosted by Sandra García Rivera\n\nLUNADA is the Bay Area’s only full moon bilingual literary ritual & performance gathering devoted to spoken word\, música\, song\, and story. Located in the heart of the Mission District at Galería de la Raza\, and guest curated by some of the Bay Area’s most dynamic word slingers and artists\, each LUNADA features community poets\, local legends\, visiting mystics\, and other mero meros of the stage. Voted Best Literary Night of 2016 by the SF Bay Guardian. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nSaint-Hills is a 20-year-old Brazilian producer and singer\, known for his unique electro-pop sound\, which contains strong influences of Brazilian music and culture. In 2015 Saint-Hills moved from his hometown Brasilia\, Brazil to San Francisco\, USA\, where both his career and personal life took flight. In San Francisco\, Saint-Hills produced and released his first single\, the bilingual song “(Geo)graphy.” Saint-Hills is also the first transgender/gender non-conforming singer to come out of Brazil. \nDJ Glo\, a Nuyorican\, is passionate about the art of DJing and a student learning everyday. Influenced by the salsa\, bachata\, merengue\, and freestlyle music they heard growing up\, you can expect to hear (and feel) tribal\, caribbean\, latinx\, and/or afro beats while listening to their set.
