SUMMARY:Cristina García
DESCRIPTION:celebrating the release of \nHere In Berlin: A Novel \nfrom Counterpoint Press \n\nHere in Berlin is a portrait of a city through snapshots\, an excavation of the stories and ghosts of contemporary Berlin—its complex\, troubled past still pulsing in the air as it was during World War II. Critically acclaimed novelist Cristina García brings the people of this famed city to life\, their stories bristling with regret\, desire\, and longing. \nAn unnamed Visitor travels to Berlin with a camera looking for reckonings of her own. The city itself is a character—vibrant and postapocalyptic\, flat and featureless except for its rivers\, its lakes\, its legions of bicyclists. Here in Berlin she encounters a people’s history: the Cuban teen taken as a POW on a German submarine\, only to return home to a family who doesn’t believe him; the young Jewish scholar hidden in a sarcophagus until safe passage to England is found; the female lawyer haunted by a childhood of deprivation in the bombed-out suburbs of Berlin who still defends those accused of war crimes; a young nurse with a checkered past who joins the Reich at a medical facility more intent to dispense with the wounded than to heal them; and the son of a zookeeper at the Berlin Zoo\, fighting to keep the animals safe from both war and an increasingly starving populace. \nA meditation on war and mystery\, this is an exciting new work by one of our most gifted novelists\, one that seeks to align the stories of the past with the stories of the future. \n\nCristina García is the author of seven novels\, including Dreaming in Cuban\, a finalist for the National Book Award that just celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary; The Agüero Sisters\, Monkey Hunting\, A Handbook to Luck\, The Lady Matador’s Hotel\, and King of Cuba. Her work has been translated into fourteen languages. García has edited anthologies\, written children’s books\, published poetry\, and taught at universities nationwide. She lives in the San Francisco Bay area.

SUMMARY:Kitty Stryker
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith is proud to host Kitty Stryker for her latest work — an anthology — Ask: Building Consent Culture. Join us at THE BINDERY! \nHave you ever heard the phrase “It’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission?” Violating consent isn’t limited to sexual relationships\, and our discussions around consent shouldn’t be\, either. \nTo resist rape culture\, we need a consent culture—and one that is more than just reactionary. Left confined to intimate spaces\, consent will atrophy as theory that is never put into practice. The multi-layered power disparities of today’s world require a response sensitive to a wide range of lived experiences. \nIn Ask\, Kitty Stryker assembles a retinue of writers\, journalists\, and activists to examine how a cultural politic centered on consent can empower us outside the bedroom\, whether it’s at the doctor’s office\, interacting with law enforcement\, or calling out financial abuse within radical communities. More than a collection of essays\, Ask is a testimony and guide on the role that negated consent plays in our lives\, examining how we can take those first steps to reclaim it from institutionalized power.
