SUMMARY:Tosh: Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World
DESCRIPTION:TOSH is a memoir of growing up as the son of an enigmatic\, much-admired\, hermetic\, and ruthlessly bohemian artist during the waning years of the Beat Generation and the heyday of hippie counterculture. A critical figure in the history of postwar American culture\, Tosh Berman’s father\, Wallace Berman\, was known as the “father of assemblage art\,” and was the creator of the legendary mail-art publication Semina. Wallace Berman and his wife\, famed beauty and artist’s muse Shirley Berman\, raised Tosh between Los Angeles and San Francisco\, and their home life was a heady atmosphere of art\, music\, and literature\, with local and international luminaries regularly passing through. \nTosh Berman is a writer\, poet\, and publisher of TamTam Books. As a publisher\, he focused on post-war French figures such as Boris Vian\, Guy Debord\, Serge Gainsbourg and French gangster Jacques Mesrine\, as well as publishing Sparks (Ron Mael & Russell Mael) and Lun*na Menoh. His previous book Sparks-Tastic (2013) is a combination of travel journal and thoughts on the band Sparks. His book of poems The Plum in Mr. Blum’s Pudding (2014) came out through Penny-Ante Editions. He authored the introduction to Wallace Berman: American Aleph from the Michael Kohn Gallery in 2016.

SUMMARY:Elena Schneider & Caitlin Rosenthal - - The Occupation of Havana & Accounting for Slavery
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS welcomes Elena Schneider and Caitlin Rosenthal to discuss their new new books The Occupation of Havana and Accounting for Slavery\, on Friday\, February 1st at 7pm. \nThe Occupation of Havana offers a nuanced and poignantly human account of the British capture and Spanish recovery of this coveted Caribbean city. The book explores both the interconnected histories of the British and Spanish empires and the crucial role played by free people of color and the enslaved in the creation and defense of Havana. Tragically\, these men and women would watch their promise of freedom and greater rights vanish in the face of massive slave importation and increased sugar production upon Cuba’s return to Spanish rule. By linking imperial negotiations with events in Cuba and their consequences\, Elena Schneider sheds new light on the relationship between slavery and empire at the dawn of the Age of Revolutions. \nAccounting for Slavery is a unique contribution to the decades-long effort to understand New World slavery’s complex relationship with capitalism. Through careful analysis of plantation records\, Caitlin Rosenthal explores the development of quantitative management practices on West Indian and Southern plantations. She shows how planter-capitalists built sophisticated organizational structures and even practiced an early form of scientific management. They subjected enslaved people to experiments\, such as allocating and reallocating labor from crop to crop\, planning meals and lodging\, and carefully recording daily productivity. The incentive strategies they crafted offered rewards but also threatened brutal punishment. \n  \n* * * \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nElena Schneider is a historian of Latin America and the Atlantic World. Her teaching focuses on Cuba and the Caribbean\, comparative colonialism and slavery\, and the Black Atlantic. Professor Schneider’s research explores the ways that war\, trade\, and slavery integrated the Atlantic world across regional and what would later become national boundaries. \nCaitlin Rosenthal is a historian of 18th and 19th century U.S. history. Her research focuses on the development of management practices\, especially those based on data analysis. She seeks to blend qualitative and quantitative methods and to combine insights from business history\, economic history\, and labor history. Before coming to Berkeley\, she was the Newcomen Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Business School\, and before that she worked as a consultant with McKinsey & Company. Her work is motivated by the hope that more complete histories of management can help us to explore deep political and ethical questions\, many of which continue to face modern businesspeople. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nFriday\, February 1\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618

SUMMARY:Kristen Tracy with Daniel Handler / Half-Hazard
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery is pleased to host Kristen Tracy for her first book of poems\, Half-Hazard\, winner of the Emily Dickinson First Book Award from the Poetry Foundation. Joining Kristen in conversation is Daniel Handler. Please join us! \n  \nHalf-Hazard is a book of near misses\, would-be tragedies\, and luck. As Kristen Tracy writes in the title poem\, “Dangers here. Perils there. It’ll go how it goes.” The collection follows Tracy’s wide curiosity\, from her growing up in a small Mormon farming community to her exodus out into the forbidden world\, where she finds snakes\, car accidents\, adulterers\, meteors\, and death-marked mice. These wry\, observant narratives are accompanied by a ringing lyricism and Tracy’s own knack at noticing what’s so funny about trouble and her natural impulse to want to put all the broken things back together. Full of wrong turns\, false loves\, quashed beliefs\, and a menagerie of animals\, Half-Hazardintroduces a vibrant new voice in American poetry\, one of resilience\, faith\, and joy. \n  \n\n  \nKristen Tracy is a poet and acclaimed author of more than a dozen novels for young readers. Her poems have been published in Poetry\, Prairie Schooner\, and the Threepenny Review\, among other magazines. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and son. \n  \n  \nDaniel Handler is the author of the novels We Are Pirates\, The Basic Eight\,Watch Your Mouth\, Adverbs\, and Why We Broke Up\, a 2012 Michael L. Printz Honor Book. He is responsible for many books for children\, including the thirteen-volume sequence A Series of Unfortunate Events and the four-book series All the Wrong Questions. He is married to the illustrator Lisa Brown\, and lives with her and their son in San Francisco. \n  \n\n  \nPlease note: This event will be at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. \n  \nThis is an all ages event\, with mature themes. The bar opens at 7\, event begins at 7:30pm. \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \n  \nIf you cannot attend the event but would like to requeset a signed copy of Half-Hazard\, and/or any of the authors’ books\, order below and put your request in the comments field. \n
