SUMMARY:Laurie Halse Anderson
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome New York Times bestselling\, award-winning author Laurie Halse Anderson for her new book\, SHOUT\, a memoir and call to action for the #MeToo era. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLaurie Halse Anderson is known for the unflinching way she writes about\, and advocates for\, survivors of sexual assault. In 1999\, her groundbreaking\, award-winning novel Speak opened the door for a national dialogue about rape culture and consent. Now\, twenty years later\, she reveals her personal history as a rape survivor in a searing new poetic memoir\, SHOUT. \nIn free verse\, Anderson shares reflections\, rants\, and calls to action woven between deeply personal stories from her life that she’s never written about before. Searing and soul-searching\, devastating and triumphant\, Shout is a denouncement of our society’s failures and a love letter to all the people with the courage to say #MeToo and #TimesUp\, whether aloud\, online\, or only in their own hearts. \nPLEASE NOTE: This event is for mature audiences only. Children under 13 will not be admitted. \n★ “A captivating\, powerful read about clawing your way out of trauma\, reclaiming your body\, and undoing lifetimes of lessons in order to use your voice as the weapon it is. Fervent and deafening.”—Booklist\, starred review \nLaurie Halse Anderson is a New York Times bestselling author whose writing spans young readers\, teens\, and new adults. Combined\, her books have sold more than 8 million copies. She has been nominated for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award three times. Two of her books\, Speak and Chains\, were National Book Award finalists\, and Chains was short-listed for the Carnegie Medal in the UK. Laurie was selected by the American Library Association for the 2009 Margaret A. Edwards Award and has been honored for her battles for intellectual freedom by the National Coalition Against Censorship and the National Council of Teachers of English. In addition to combating censorship\, Laurie regularly speaks about the need for diversity in publishing and is a member of RAINN’s National Leadership Council. \nPurchase of Shout is mandatory for entry to the signing line. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPosted in Premier Event\, Youth

SUMMARY:Clive Thompson on the Future of Coding
DESCRIPTION:A comprehensive cultural portrait that Kirkus recommends for fans of John Markoff and Ari Levy\, Clive Thompson offers smart\, funny\, necessary reporting with Coders: The Making of a New Tribe and the Remaking of the World. This tech journalist uncovers lesser-known origin stories within the field and outlines its future directions\, all while casting incisive light on ethical questions of coding (what we code for\, more humans do). Thompson further explores the shifting role of the profession into a blue-collar arena where labor and class distinctions impact tech-innovations and outcomes. Design-thinking\, new economic engines\, Kentucky coal miners being trained to code and teen feminist hacktivist sleepovers—Thompson covers it all. \nJoining Thompson in conversation to explore the shifting future of coding is Wired veteran and Atlantic staff writer Alexis Madrigal. \nDo you fully know the profession that fuels Silicon Valley? Maybe we know it less than we think—Thompson and Madrigal weigh whether it could be the overlooked driving force of seismic social change. \nThis special event will be hosted at HanaHaus\, the dynamic community coworking space in downtown Palo Alto. Seating opens at 7:00 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPosted in Premier Event

SUMMARY:LAUNCH for Meredith May / The Honey Bus: A Memoir of Loss\, Courage and a Girl Saved by Bees
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery is thrilled to host longtime San Francisco Chronicle columnist Meredith May for the launch of her book\, The Honey Bus: A Memoir of Loss\, Courage and a Girl Saved by Bees. More information to be announce\, but please save the date and join us! \nMeredith May recalls the first time a honeybee crawled on her arm. She was five years old\, her parents had recently split and suddenly she found herself in the care of her grandfather\, an eccentric beekeeper who made honey in a rusty old military bus in the yard. That first close encounter was at once terrifying and exhilarating for May\, and in that moment she discovered that everything she needed to know about life and family was right before her eyes\, in the secret world of bees. \nMay turned to her grandfather and the art of beekeeping as an escape from her troubled reality. Her mother had receded into a volatile cycle of neurosis and despair and spent most days locked away in the bedroom. It was during this pivotal time in May’s childhood that she learned to take care of herself\, forged an unbreakable bond with her grandfather and opened her eyes to the magic and wisdom of nature. \nThe bees became a guiding force in May’s life\, teaching her about family and community\, loyalty and survival\, and the unequivocal relationship between a mother and her child. Part memoir\, part beekeeping odyssey\, The Honey Bus is an unforgettable story about finding home in the most unusual of places and how a tiny\, little-understood insect could save a life. \n  \n\n  \nMeredith May spent sixteen years at the San Francisco Chronicle\, where her narrative reporting won the PEN USA Literary Award for Journalism and was short-listed for the Pulitzer Prize. She is coauthor of I\, Who Did Not Die and is a fifth-generation beekeeper. She lives in San Francisco\, where she keeps several hives in a community garden. \n  \n\n  \nPlease note: this event will be held at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. \n  \nThis is an all ages event with mature themes. The bar opens at 7pm; event starts at 7:30pm. \n  \nAs with all of our events\, seating may be limited; you can guarantee a seat by pre-purchasing the book below — when checking out\, just be sure to include a note that you’d like to attend the event. If you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of The Honey Bus\, order below and put your request in the comments field. \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required.

SUMMARY:K Chess
DESCRIPTION:This event will be held at our 9th Ave. location. \nK Chess discusses her new novel\, Famous Men Who Never Lived. \n\nPraise for Famous Men Who Never Lived \n“With an eerie and ingenious premise\, K Chess explores in a fresh way the most universal of human experiences: loss\, regret\, and the longing for what might have been. With its refugees from a parallel universe\, this inventive book does what only fiction can do: describes an impossible world in order to more clearly show us our own.”—Karen Thompson Walker\, author of The Age of Miracles \n“Famous Men Who Never Lived is a fascinating novel: complex\, uncanny\, powerful. K Chess adroitly enacts Joyce’s  ‘cracked looking glass’ and gives us an off-kilter reflection that allows us to really see who we are. The wit\, elaboration\, and detail of her invention are spectacular.”—Dana Spiotta\, author of Innocents and Others \n“The novel jumps off from a fascinating premise into strange and fertile territory. K Chess constructs not just one universe\, but two\, and delicately entangles them to create a rich\, engrossing exploration of displacement\, history\, memory\, of the past and the present. Conceptually adventurous yet full of feeling\, Famous Men Who Never Lived is a smart\, thought-provoking and thoroughly enjoyable debut.”—Charles Yu\, author of How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe \n  \nAbout Famous Men Who Never Lived \nFor readers of Station Eleven and Exit West\, Famous Men Who Never Lived explores the effects of displacement on our identities\, the communities that come together through circumstance\, and the power of art to save us. \nWherever Hel looks\, New York City is both reassuringly familiar and terribly wrong. As one of the thousands who fled the outbreak of nuclear war in an alternate United States―an alternate timeline―she finds herself living as a refugee in our own not-so-parallel New York. The slang and technology are foreign to her\, the politics and art unrecognizable. While others\, like her partner Vikram\, attempt to assimilate\, Hel refuses to reclaim her former career or create a new life. Instead\, she obsessively rereads Vikram’s copy of The Pyronauts―a science fiction masterwork in her world that now only exists as a single flimsy paperback―and becomes determined to create a museum dedicated to preserving the remaining artifacts and memories of her vanished culture. \nBut the refugees are unwelcome and Hel’s efforts are met with either indifference or hostility. And when the only copy of The Pyronauts goes missing\, Hel must decide how far she is willing to go to recover it and finally face her own anger\, guilt\, and grief over what she has truly lost.
