SUMMARY:Timothy McSweeney's Grand 50th Issue Release Party
DESCRIPTION:Did you know McSweeney’s glorious 50th issue is due August 29th? That’s right\, FIFTY! We’ve pulled all the stops for this one\, including can’t-miss new work from writers who we’ve long published — Jonathan Lethem\, Lydia Davis\, Sherman Alexie\, Etgar Keret\, Sheila Heti\, Diane Williams\, Sarah Vowell\, John Hodgman\, Steven Millhauser (among many others) — and fantastic new writing from authors who we’ve long admired\, including Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie\, Thomas McGuane\, Kevin Young\, and Carrie Brownstein. The book itself will be hardback with a dust jacket that folds into two different covers\, and folds entirely open to a poster by Tucker Nichols. Choose whatever cover fits your mood\, or tack it to the wall and reveal the gem hidden underneath. OKAY\, we’ve said enough\, now to why we’re really here…. \nIt’s a party! There will be drinks (by Fort Point Beer Company) and mingling and happy moments to share. If we figure out the sound system\, there may even be music. (Group meditation is cool\, though\, right?)

SUMMARY:Brontez Purnell
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Bindery as we welcome Brontez Purnell for the release of his novel Since I Laid My Burden Down. \nDeShawn lives a high\, creative\, and promiscuous life in San Francisco. But when he’s called back to his cramped Alabama hometown for his uncle’s funeral\, he’s hit by flashbacks of handsome\, doomed neighbors and sweltering Sunday services. Amidst prickly reminders of his childhood\, DeShawn ponders family\, church\, and the men in his life\, prompting the question: Who deserves love? \nA raw\, funny\, and uninhibited stumble down memory lane\, Brontez Purnell’s debut novel explores how one man’s early sexual and artistic escapades grow into a life. \n— \nBrontez Purnell has been publishing\, performing\, and curating in the Bay Area for over ten years. He is author of the cult zine Fag School\, frontman for his band The Younger Lovers\, and founder and choreographer of the Brontez Purnell Dance Company. Formerly a dancer with Gravy Train!!!\, a queer electro indie band that gained national prominence in the mid-2000s\, Purnell’s other prominent artistic collaborations include his supporting role in the queer independent feature film\, “I Want Your Love” (dir. Travis Mathews\, 2012). He was a guest curator for the Berkeley Art Museum’s L@TE program in 2012\, awarded an invitation to the 2012 Radar Lab queer arts summer residency\, honored by Out Magazine’s 2012 Hot 100 List and 2013 Most Eligible Bachelors List\, and most recently won the 2014 SF Bay Guardian’s Goldie for Performance/Music.
