SUMMARY:San Francisco Shakespeare Festival "Did Shakespeare Really Write That?"
DESCRIPTION:It is estimated that William Shakespeare used 31\,000 different words in his writing and that some had hidden meanings. He also invented over 30 new words which are now in our vocabulary. What is the true meaning of his words? Join Word Week 2019 as the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival players act out 400 of his most famous words for us. Adults and children are welcome at this event\, which will be held on Saturday\, March 16 from 1:30pm-2:30pm in the ground floor community room of the Noe Valley/Sally Brunn Library\, 451 Jersey Street (between Castro and Diamond streets). Free admission. \nThis is a Word Week 2019 event. Word Week is Noe Valley’s annual literary festival. For a full listing of Word Week 2019 events\, go to http://bit.ly/2WXT09H. \nAbout San Francisco Shakespeare Festival:\nFounded in 1983\, the mission of the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival is to make the works of Shakespeare accessible to everyone\, regardless of age\, ethnicity\, geography\, economic status\, or level of education. The San Francisco Shakespeare Festival brings Shakespeare’s greatest works to over 30\,000 people in the Bay Area each summer with Free Shakespeare in the Park. Free Shakespeare in the Park has become as much a part of summer in the Bay Area as a backyard barbecue — bringing professional\, free performances of the Bard’s greatest works to diverse audiences for over 25 years. And each year the San Francisco Shakespeare Festival reaches a new audience of over 70\,000 kids throughout California with its unique arts education programs — Shakespeare on Tour\, Midnight Shakespeare\, and Bay Area Shakespeare Camps.

SUMMARY:Lisa Moore Ramee with Sabaa Tahir
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate the launch of Lisa Moore Ramee’s highly anticipated\, funny and big-hearted debut middle grade novel A Good Kind of Trouble\,  about friendship\, family\, and standing up for what’s right – a book that Angie Thomas (The Hate U Give) calls “full of heart and truth” \n“Ramée effectively portrays the importance of the Black Lives Matter movement and the difficulty of navigating complex social situations while conveying universal middle school questions about friendship\, first crushes\, and identity. Shay’s journey is an authentic and engaging political and personal awakening.” (Publishers Weekly (starred review)) \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTwelve-year-old Shayla is allergic to trouble. All she wants to do is to follow the rules. But in junior high\, it’s like all the rules have changed. Now she’s suddenly questioning who her best friends are and some people at school are saying she’s not black enough. Wait\, what? Shay’s sister\, Hana\, is involved in Black Lives Matter\, but Shay doesn’t think that’s for her. After experiencing a powerful protest\, though\, Shay decides some rules are worth breaking. She starts wearing an armband to school in support of the Black Lives movement. Soon everyone is taking sides. And she is given an ultimatum. Shay is scared to do the wrong thing (and even more scared to do the right thing)\, but if she doesn’t face her fear\, she’ll be forever tripping over the next hurdle. Now that’s trouble\, for real. \nLisa will be in conversation with Sabaa Tahir\, author of An Ember in the Ashes\, A Torch Against the Night\, and A Reaper at the Gates. This is a book we are sure to keep talking about\, a book I am evangelizing for.  Come celebrate with us.

SUMMARY:Helen Oyeyemi - - Gingerbread
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS welcomes Helen Oyeyemi to discuss Gingerbread\, on Saturday\, March 16th at 7pm. \nInfluenced by the mysterious place gingerbread holds in classic children’s stories\, beloved novelist Helen Oyeyemi invites readers into a delightful tale of a surprising family legacy\, in which the inheritance is a recipe. \nPerdita Lee may appear to be your average British schoolgirl; Harriet Lee may seem just a working mother trying to penetrate the school social hierarchy; but there are signs that they might not be as normal as they think they are. For one thing\, they share a gold-painted\, seventh-floor walk-up apartment with some surprisingly verbal vegetation. And then there’s the gingerbread they make. Londoners may find themselves able to take or leave it\, but it’s very popular in Druhástrana\, the far-away (or\, according to many sources\, non-existent) land of Harriet Lee’s early youth. The world’s truest lover of the Lee family gingerbread\, however\, is Harriet’s charismatic childhood friend Gretel Kercheval —a figure who seems to have had a hand in everything (good or bad) that has happened to Harriet since they met. \nDecades later\, when teenaged Perdita sets out to find her mother’s long-lost friend\, it prompts a new telling of Harriet’s story. As the book follows the Lees through encounters with jealousy\, ambition\, family grudges\, work\, wealth\, and real estate\, gingerbread seems to be the one thing that reliably holds a constant value. Endlessly surprising and satisfying\, written with Helen Oyeyemi’s inimitable style and imagination\, it is a true feast for the reader. \n* * * \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nHelen Oyeyemi is the author of the story collection What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours\, along with five novels– most recently Boy\, Snow\, Bird\, which was a finalist for the 2014 Los Angeles Times Book Prize. She received a 2010 Somerset Maugham Award and a 2012 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award. In 2013\, she was named one of Granta’s Best Young British Novelists. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nSaturday\, March 16\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618
