SUMMARY:Paul Madonna: Close Enough for the Angels
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery is excited to present a special evening with Paul Madonna as he introduces his latest release Close Enough for the Angels\, along with a gallery showing of his iconic work. Please join us at The Bindery! \nEmit Hopper was a one-hit wonder—twice. First as a rock and roller in the 80s\, then as a literary darling in the 90s. Now it’s twenty years later\, and despite his desire to remain a simple laundromat owner\, stardom has found him once again. As he’s drawn back into the limelight he meets Julia\, a former celebrity chef with an enigmatic past. But when she disappears while hiking with two other women\, Emit finds himself chasing down a mystery that promises to leave him forever changed. \nFrom the artist and author of All Over Coffee and Everything is its own reward\, Paul Madonna uses his signature blend of drawing and storytelling to deliver a beautiful and entertaining novel filled with suspense\, surprise\, and humor. \nWith over one hundred lush and haunting drawings\, this full-length\, character-driven story is a fresh and innovative reinvention of the illustrated novel. \n— \n“Madonna captures snapshots in time as he explores the relationship between image and text… that’s so gorgeously rendered in Madonna’s precise yet fluid pen-and-ink style\, it feels like it could be anywhere and everywhere.” — Publisher’s Weekly \n— \nPaul Madonna is the award-winning artist and writer. He is the creator of the series All Over Coffee\, which ran in the San Francisco Chronicle for twelve years\, and is the author of four books. His drawings and stories have appeared internationally in numerous books and journals as well as in galleries and museums\, including the San Francisco Contemporary Jewish Museum\, the Oakland Museum of California\, and an upcoming solo exhibition at the Legion of Honor in San Francisco. Paul is a former editor fortherumpus.net\, has taught drawing at the University of San Francisco\, and frequently lectures on creative practice\, even when not asked. He holds a BFA from Carnegie Mellon University\, and was the first (ever!) Art Intern at MAD magazine\, for which he proudly received no money. \nMore info: http://www.booksmith.com/event/paul-madonna-close-enough-angels-bindery

SUMMARY:Brutal Conditions of US Agriculture Workers Documented in Photo Essays
DESCRIPTION:The conditions of farm workers have deteriorated greatly since the 1970s and 80s.  Taking inflation into account\, wages are less than half. In photographs and testimonies\, In the Fields of the North / En los Campos del Norte shows that these conditions are provoking a new wave of organizing efforts. It is the first book to do so visually\, and in the words of farm workers themselves.  It is a completely bilingual book\, with extensive captions for all the images and oral histories in accessible narrative form. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“What is distinctive about David Bacon´s work is his persistence and determination to be present at decisive moments in the lives of workers. His photo essays allow us to feel that we are there\, observing the events unfolding.  We are witnesses to intimate moments of farmers working at dawn in the onion fields.  We hear the testimonies of people participating in political action – with the strength of the community filling the air.”  Gaspar Rivera-Salgado\, professor of Chicano Studies\, UCLA David Bacon is a California-based writer and photographer.  He is the author of several books about migration\, including The Children of NAFTA\, Communities Without Borders and Illegal People – How Globalization Creates Migration and Criminalizes Immigrants. Bacon was a factory worker and union organizer for two decades with the United Farm Workers\, the International Ladies Garment Workers and other unions. Today he documents the changing conditions in the workforce\, the impact of the global economy\, war and migration\, and the struggle for human rights. His photography has been exhibited in the U.S. Mexico and Europe\, and his articles and photoessays have been published widely. As a photojournalist\, David Bacon has been documenting through photographs and stories the lives of farm workers since 1988.
