SUMMARY:Komal Kapoor / Unfollowing You
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts a special evening with Komal Kapoor\, to celebrate her first poetry collection Unfollowing You. This will be her only SF/Bay Area event. Please join us! \n  \nPlease note: this is a ticketed event\, to be held at The Bindery (1727 Haight St.) in San Francisco. The price of admission is equal to the cost of Unfollowing You\, which is included with each ticket. Tickets can be purchased here. \n  \nAn anthem for the modern woman\, Unfollowing You serves as a true companion for those who seek a voice that explores the complexities and absurdity of contemporary romance. Komal Kapoor uses her personal experience and astute social awareness as mechanisms to empower self-acceptance and promote cultural transparency. \nAfter prolific growth on social media\, Komal Kapoor is utilizing her perceptive understanding of romance in the digital age to present her first collection of poems. Unfollowing You tells a chronological tale of a modern love through a series of poems\, prose\, texts\, screen grabs\, and unsent letters. Exploring digital phenomena like swipe culture and technological realities\, Kapoors words affirm experiences and sentiment echoed across many media platforms. \nUnfollowing You is separated into two parts: Following You details how the two protagonists fall in love and Unfollowing You shares their heartbreak.  The realism of this collection will encourage readers to normalize growth and indulge in their feelings\, even finding strength in them. \n  \n\n  \nKomal Kapoor is a writer\, business consultant\, and motivational coach who explores the messy business of feelings via social media. She has amassed over 200\,000 Instagram followers in less than a year through her writing and hopes to help even more people find strength in vulnerability. \n  \n\n** Please note ** \n– This is an all-ages event. \n– The duration of this event is up to the author. \n– Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. \n– 1 ticket = 1 book\, no exceptions. The book must be purchased from Booksmith. If you already have a copy of Unfollowing You\, remember that books make great gifts! If you’ve already gifted Unfollowing You to all of your friends\, it’s ok to buy a different book from Booksmith instead — in that case\, please write events AT booksmith DOT com. \n– Signing\, photo\, and Q&A details to come. \n– RSVP is not necessary\, but appreciated.

SUMMARY:Left Margin LIT Reading at Novel Brewing in Oakland
DESCRIPTION:We’re partnering with Novel Brewing Company\, the most literary brewery in the East Bay\, to celebrate the sublime tandem of books and beer! \nLeft Margin instructors and friends Shanthi Sekaran\, Porter Shreve\, Faith Adiele\, David Roderick\, and Melanie Abrams will read from their work. We’ll also have a table there so you can learn more about our programs\, events\, classes\, and work space for writers. \nWe’ve already sampled Novel’s winter lineup of beers\, including BOOK THIEF IPA\, DUST JACKET IPA\, and THE POET\, which is super-sour (of course). Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe what happens on your palate when you order a whole flight. \nThere’s also a BOOK SWAP! You can bring in as many books as you like\, and the ones that don’t find a new home will go into Novel’s book stash earmarked for their Little Lending Library. The swap begins at 7:00 pm and the rules are: (1) add your book(s) to the cart with an index card that has your name\, and a bit of why the book is a great read. (2) What’s the best part? If someone takes your book home to read\, you get $1 off your next pint! \nCome one\, come all. It’s going to be an epic event.

SUMMARY:Esmé Weijun Wang Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Esmé Weijun Wang discusses her new essay collection\, The Collected Schizophrenias\, with R.O. Kwon. \n\nPraise for The Collected Schizophrenias \n\n“This mesmerizing collection of essays has achieved the rarest of rarities—a meaningful and expansive language for a subject that has been long bound by both deep revulsion and intense fascination.”—Jenny Zhang \n\n“A brilliant guide to the complexities of thinking about illness\, and mental illness\, in particular. It will bring hope to others searching to understand their own diagnoses.”—Meghan O’Rourke \n\n“A masterful braiding of the achingly personal and the incisively researched. . . . This book is a vital\, illuminating window onto the world we all already live in\, but find all too easy to ignore.”—Alexandra Kleeman \n\n“You won’t find any pity-baiting\, sensationalism\, or false positivity here; Wang is so candidly aware that I’d trust her over my own diary.”—Tony Tulathimutte \n\n“Esmé Weijun Wang offers us an all-access pass to her beautiful\, unquiet mind. . . Rarely has a book about living with mental illness felt so immediate\, raw\, and powerful.”—Dani Shapiro \n\nAbout The Collected Schizophrenias \n\nPowerful\, affecting essays on mental illness\, winner of the Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize and a Whiting Award \n  \nAn intimate\, moving book written with the immediacy and directness of one who still struggles with the effects of mental and chronic illness\, The Collected Schizophrenias cuts right to the core. Schizophrenia is not a single unifying diagnosis\, and Esmé Weijun Wang writes not just to her fellow members of the “collected schizophrenias” but to those who wish to understand it as well. Opening with the journey toward her diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder\, Wang discusses the medical community’s own disagreement about labels and procedures for diagnosing those with mental illness\, and then follows an arc that examines the manifestations of schizophrenia in her life. In essays that range from using fashion to present as high-functioning to the depths of a rare form of psychosis\, and from the failures of the higher education system and the dangers of institutionalization to the complexity of compounding factors such as PTSD and Lyme disease\, Wang’s analytical eye\, honed as a former lab researcher at Stanford\, allows her to balance research with personal narrative. An essay collection of undeniable power\, The Collected Schizophrenias dispels misconceptions and provides insight into a condition long misunderstood.

SUMMARY:Robert B. Reich: The Common Good
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents \nRobert B. Reich\nThe Common Good \nHosted by Kathryn Horsley \nadvance tickets: $12: T: 800-838-3006 or independent bookstores\, $15 door\, benefits KPFA Radio 94.1FM info: kpfa.org/events \nFor decades one of the most farseeing\, outspoken public intellectuals in the United States has been Robert B. Reich. Now he provides us with The Common Good\, his sixteenth book\, a passionate\, clear-eyed manifesto urging the recentering of our national economics and politics on the profound idea of the common good. Responding to the prevailing uproar of divisiveness\, cynicism and blind self-interest\, Reich makes a powerful case for expanding America’s moral imagination. Rooting his argument in common sense and everyday reality\, he demonstrates that a common good not only exists\, but in fact is the very essence of any functional society or notion. Societies\, he asserts\, undergo varying virtuous cycles that reinforce the common good as well as vicious cycles that undermine It – one of which this country has been experiencing for the past five decades. This can and must be reversed. \nFirst we must weigh the moral obligations of citizenship and carefully consider how as a country we should relate to honor\, shame\, patriotism\, truth and the meaning of leadership.\nThis is a heartfelt statement from a major political thinker devoted to saving America’s soul. \nRobert B. Reich is Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California\, Berkeley. He has served in three national administrations and has written fifteen books\, including The Work of Nations\, Saving Capitalism and Locked In the Cabinet. His essays have appeared in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and The Wall Street Journal. He is currently chair of the national governing board of Common Cause. \n$12 advance\, $15 door. \nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM.
