SUMMARY:Evening Literary Seminar: Let's Explore Diabetes with Owls\, David Sedaris
DESCRIPTION:Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls\, David Sedaris\nWho needs to be talked into reading this comic genius?? Sedaris is so smart and funny\, such a master of observation\, that he is calling the seminars away from our usual fiction to immerse us in his hilarious world. Leavened with some of his smartest humor\, this volume encompasses not only Sedaris’s singular childhood but the hazards of growing older. We will take a close look at how his humor works\, how structure impacts the essays and why diction is key in any good writing. I can almost guarantee a significant lift in mood as soon as you settle in to this work by the man Oprah Magazine rightly calls the “funniest writer in America.” \nA copy of Let’s Explore Diabetes with Owls is included in the price of the Seminar and should be picked up at Kepler’s (and read) prior to the meeting date.

SUMMARY:BERKELEY ARTS & LETTERS: Nathaniel Rich / Losing Earth: A Recent History
DESCRIPTION:Berkeley Arts & Letters presents Nathaniel Rich for his new book Losing Earth: A Recent History\, based on the New York Times Magazine special issue “Losing Earth: The Decade We Almost Stopped Climate Change\,” also currently in development as a TV series by Apple and Anonymous Content. Join us for the one Bay Area chance to see the author present the most urgent story of our times\, brilliantly reframed and beautifully told\, live and in person. \n  \nPlease note: This event is ticketed\, and will take place at First Congregational Church of Berkeley\, 2345 Channing Way\, Berkeley. Tickets\, including discounted book bundles\, are available in advance here. Unless otherwise noted here\, general admission tickets will be available at the door. \n  \nBy 1979\, we knew nearly everything we understand today about climate change — including how to stop it. Over the next decade\, a handful of scientists\, politicians\, and strategists\, led by two unlikely heroes\, risked their careers in a desperate\, escalating campaign to convince the world to act before it was too late. Losing Earth is their story\, and ours. \n  \nThe New York Times Magazine devoted an entire issue to Nathaniel Rich’s groundbreaking chronicle of that decade\, which became an instant journalistic phenomenon — the subject of news coverage\, editorials\, and conversations all over the world. In its emphasis on the lives of the people who grappled with the great existential threat of our age\, it made vivid the moral dimensions of our shared plight. \n  \nNow expanded into book form\, Losing Earth tells the human story of climate change in even richer\, more intimate terms. It reveals\, in previously unreported detail\, the birth of climate denialism and the genesis of the fossil fuel industry’s coordinated effort to thwart climate policy through misinformation propaganda and political influence. The book carries the story into the present day\, wrestling with the long shadow of our past failures and asking crucial questions about how we make sense of our past\, our future\, and ourselves. Like John Hersey’s Hiroshima and Jonathan Schell’s The Fate of the Earth\, Losing Earth is the rarest of achievements: a riveting work of dramatic history that articulates a moral framework for understanding how we got here\, and how we must go forward. \n  \n\nNathaniel Rich is the author of the novels King Zeno\, Odds Against Tomorrow\, and The Mayor’s Tongue. He is a writer at large for The New York Times Magazine and a regular contributor to The Atlantic and The New York Review of Books. He lives in New Orleans. \n  \n\n  \nPlease note: \n–  Duration of event is subject to author’s preference. \n–  Signing and additional details coming soon. \n–  This event is all ages. Accessibility is important to us! If you have special needs of any kind\, please write events AT booksmith DOT com and we will do our best to accommodate you. \n–  If you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Losing Earth\, and/or any of Nat’s books\, order below and put your request in the comments field. \n–  RSVP appreciated but not required. \n
