SUMMARY:Non-Fiction Discussion Group: Evolution of Desire: A Life of René Girard
DESCRIPTION:Evolution of Desire: A Life of René Girard\nNOTE: Cynthia Haven literary critic and local author will join us to discuss her book at this month’s meeting. Please be sure to RSVP! \nRené Girard (1923-2015) was one of the leading thinkers of our era–a provocative sage who offered a bold\, sweeping vision of human nature\, human history\, and human destiny. \nIn this first-ever biographical study\, Cynthia L. Haven traces the evolution of Girard’s thought in parallel with his life and times\, and reveals his insights into the collective delusions of our technological world and the changing nature of warfare. Evolution of Desire: A Life of René Girard provides an essential introduction to one of the twentieth century’s most controversial and original minds.

SUMMARY:JENN STROUD ROSSMAN at Books Inc. in The Marina
DESCRIPTION:Pushcart Prize-nominee Jenn Stroud Rossman shares her witty debut novel\, The Place You’re Supposed to Laugh. \nIt’s 2002 in Silicon Valley. 9/11’s still fresh\, the dot-com bubble has burst\, and holy calamity is raining down on 14-year-old Chad Loudermilk. His father is about to lose his job\, his mother isn’t the same since Chad’s grandma died\, and as one of the few black kids at tony Palo Alto High School\, Chad’s starting to wonder about his birth parents. Next door lives dot-com mogul Scot MacAvoy\, with his luxury SUV and his gardeners and his beautiful wife and his time to play video games with Chad\, all making the Loudermilk family’s struggle to stay afloat seem that much harder. It’s going to be a tough year for the Loudermilks. \nTHE PLACE YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO LAUGH is wise and witty novel about the Silicon Valley that’s not covered in the fawning features in The New York Times. It’s a place where the working class\, blended Loudermilk family grapple with issues of race and inequality\, all while trying to keep a smile on their faces. In the spirit of the works of Celeste Ng and Angela Flournoy\, this is a big-hearted page-turner that will make you laugh\, cry\, and think all at once. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nMonday\, January 14\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc.\n2251 Chestnut St\n\nSan Francisco\, CA
