SUMMARY:Tom Barbash & Keith Scribner
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nreading from new work \nKeith Scribner reads from \nOld Newgate Road \npublished by Alfred Knopf \nTom Barbash reads from \nThe Dakota Winters \npublished by Ecco Press \nabout Old Newgate Road: \nFrom the author of The Oregon Experiment\, the story of a father’s return to his childhood home\, the site of unspeakable tragedy\, and of the complex and often warring obligations–not least forgiveness–we have to our family\, our friends\, and our past. \nOld Newgate Road runs through the tobacco fields of northern Connecticut that once drove the local economy. It’s where Cole Callahan spent his youth\, in a historic white colonial that his family was devoted to restoring–painstakingly\, relentlessly\, pointlessly. But the famous claim that you can’t go home again falls far short in this instance. Cole has not come back to this house\, to this street\, in thirty years–not since he was a teenager\, when one night his father murdered his mother in a fit of rage. Now\, however\, he finally dares to risk it\, ostensibly to collect precious material for his construction business on the west coast\, and is shocked to discover his elderly father\, freed from prison\, living alone in their old home\, and succumbing to dementia. Compelled by a sense of responsibility to a man he hates\, and confronted in middle age by everything he’d left unfinished when he fled this place in his aborted childhood\, he finds that the time for a reckoning has at last come. \nMatters grow even more complicated when his estranged wife calls to say their ultra-progressive\, rabble-rousing son has run up against the law and been expelled from high school. And so Cole summons Daniel to East Granby to work in the tobacco fields–his own job growing up–and soon their lives are enmeshed with the family legacy\, and with Cole’s boyhood sweetheart as well as his nemesis. What unfolds over this summer surprises and challenges them all\, as they contend with the sinister history they share and desperately try to invent a future that isn’t doomed by it. \nAbout The Dakota Winters \nAn evocative and wildly absorbing novel about the Winters\, a family living in New York City’s famed Dakota apartment building in the year leading up to John Lennon’s assassination \nIt’s the fall of 1979 in New York City when twenty-three-year-old Anton Winter\, back from the Peace Corps and on the mend from a nasty bout of malaria\, returns to his childhood home in the Dakota. Anton’s father\, the famous late-night host Buddy Winter\, is there to greet him\, himself recovering from a breakdown. Before long\, Anton is swept up in an effort to reignite Buddy’s stalled career\, a mission that takes him from the gritty streets of New York\, to the slopes of the Lake Placid Olympics\, to the Hollywood Hills\, to the blue waters of the Bermuda Triangle\, and brings him into close quarters with the likes of Johnny Carson\, Ted and Joan Kennedy\, and a seagoing John Lennon. \nBut the more Anton finds himself enmeshed in his father’s professional and spiritual reinvention\, the more he questions his own path\, and fissures in the Winter family begin to threaten their close bond. By turns hilarious and poignant\, The Dakota Winters is a family saga\, a page-turning social novel\, and a tale of a critical moment in the history of New York City and the country at large. \nTom Barbash is the author of the award-winning novel\, The Last Good Chance\, which was was awarded the California Book Award\, and the short story collection Stay Up With Me\, which was a national bestseller and was nominated for the Folio Prize. His nonfiction book\, On Top of the World: Cantor Fitzgerald\, Howard Lutnick\, and 9/11: A Story of Loss and Renewal\, was a New York Times bestseller. His stories and articles have been published in Tin House\, McSweeney’s\, VQR\, and other publications\, and have been performed on National Public Radio for their Selected Shorts Series. He currently teaches in the MFA program at California College of the Arts. \nKeith Scribner grew up in Troy\, New York\, and then East Granby\, Connecticut. His previous novels are The Oregon Experiment\, Miracle Girl\, and The GoodLife\, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. He currently teaches at Oregon State University in Corvallis\, where he lives with his wife\, the poet Jennifer Richter\, and their children.

SUMMARY:YOU'RE GOING TO DIE: POETRY\, PROSE & EVERYTHING GOES...
DESCRIPTION:You’re Going to Die: Poetry\, Prose & Everything Goes Open Mic at The Lost Church w/Ned Buskirk \n$10 in advance and at the door.\nTickets: https://sforce.co/2CWB45Q\nVenue: The Lost Church – San Francisco\nThe Lost Church is Cash Only at the door (at this time). \nDoors at 7:30pm.\nShow at 8:15pm.\nAll performances end at 10:30pm.\nSeating is first come\, first served. \nWe recommend you buy in advance to ensure being a part of the event (parlor shows often sell out)\, but you can also try purchasing at the door on the night of the show (although\, we do NOT set aside a block of tickets for door purchase) \nAges 10 and over are welcome. (Parental discretion is advised for some events).\n+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\nYou’re Going to Die: Poetry\, Prose & Everything Goes…\nis an open mic event\, the communal offering for us to explore the conversation of death & dying\, to embrace our losses & mortality\,\nto grieve\, bereave & honor those we’ve lost & love… while all the while making room for simply being ALIVE. \nSign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly\, so if you want to perform\, you’d better get there early… \nIf you’re going to perform\, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)]. \nPoetry\, prose\, music\, dancing\, comedy\, drama\, happy\, sad\, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want. \nYou don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers. \nPlease don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage.

Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday\, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously\, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged. \nYou’re Going to Die. No. Really. You are.
