SUMMARY:Odd Mondays Fall Fiction: A Poet\, Novelist\, & Short Story Author Walk Into a Bookstore...
DESCRIPTION:Poet Jeanne Powell\, novelist C O R E Y M. P.\, and short story author Olga Zilberbourg will walk into Folio Books San Francisco\, 3957 24th St. in Noe Valley\, Monday\, October 7 to read for you from 6:30pm to 7:30pm. Books will be available for sales and signing after the readings. Admission is free and so are the drinks! \nThe poems in Jeanne Powell’s collection TWO SEASONS are\, according to Dennis Dalton\, Professor Emeritus\, Barnard College\, “inspiring and inspired because of their uncanny ability to transmit genuine feelings of rage and love\, justice and injustice\, with an eloquence and power that few contemporary American writers can match. Her gifted word dancing comes across forcefully yet gracefully in both oral recitations and on the written page. When I heard Jeanne deliver in public one of the exquisite poems from TWO SEASONS\, I was stunned at the impact it had on the audience.” \nIn Corey M.P.’s novel HEARTS AND ERRORS\, Valentine’s Day is fast approaching–a harsh reminder of when New York newspaper columnist Lana Levine was dumped by her boyfriend without an explanation and how\, three years later\, she still hasn’t moved on. When she discovers a magazine article about an old man who matches strangers in a small café in Paris\, Lana thinks this is definitely a sign. Desperate for change\, she flees to The City of Light. Armed with nothing but hope and a broken heart\, she begins her quest to find the mysterious café. \nOlga Zilberbourg’s first book in English is already a bestseller! LIKE WATER AND OTHER STORIES is a unique portrayal of motherhood\, of immigration and adaptation\, and an inside account of life in the Soviet Union and its dissolution. It looks at family and child rearing in ways both unsettling and tender\, with characters who grapple with complicated legacies—of state\, parentage\, displacement\, and identity. Anthony Marra calls it “a book of succinct abundance\, dazzling in its particulars\, expansive in its scope.”

SUMMARY:BERKELEY ARTS & LETTERS: Stephen Mitchell with Paul Hawken / Joseph and the Way of Forgiveness
DESCRIPTION:Berkeley Arts & Letters presents Stephen Mitchell in conversation with Paul Hawken about his new book\, Joseph and the Way of Forgiveness. \nPlease note: This event is ticketed\, and will take place at First Congregational Church of Berkeley\, 2345 Channing Street\, Berkeley. Tickets\, including discounted book bundles\, are available in advance here. Advance sales are highly recommended. Unless otherwise noted here\, general admission tickets will be available at the door. \nStephen Mitchell’s gift is to breathe new life into ancient classics. In Joseph and the Way of Forgiveness\, he offers us his riveting novelistic version of the Biblical tale in which Jacobs favorite son is sold into slavery and eventually becomes viceroy of Egypt. Tolstoy called it the most beautiful story in the world. Whats new here is the lyrical\, witty\, vivid prose\, informed by a wisdom that brings fresh insight to this foundational legend of betrayal and all-embracing forgiveness. Mitchell’s retelling\, which reads like a postmodern novel\, interweaves the narrative with brief meditations that\, with their Zen surprises\, expand the narrative and illuminate its main themes. By stepping inside the minds of Joseph and the other characters\, Mitchell reanimates one of the central stories of Western culture. The engrossing tale that he has created will capture the hearts and minds of modern readers and show them that this ancient story can still challenge\, delight\, and astonish. \n\nStephen Mitchell was born in Brooklyn\, educated at Amherst\, the Sorbonne\, and Yale\, and de-educated through intensive Zen training. His many books include the bestselling Tao Te Ching\, Gilgamesh\, The Gospel According to Jesus\, The Book of Job\, The Second Book of the Tao\, The Selected Poetry of Rainer Maria Rilke\, Bhagavad Gita\, The Iliad\, The Odyssey\, and Beowulf. He is also the co-author of three of his wife Byron Katie’s bestselling books. \nPaul Hawken is an environmentalist\, entrepreneur\, journalist\, and author. Starting at age 20\, he dedicated his life to sustainability and changing the relationship between business and the environment. His practice has included starting and running ecological businesses\, writing and teaching about the impact of commerce on living systems\, and consulting with governments and corporations on economic development\, industrial ecology\, and environmental policy. Paul authors articles\, op-eds\, and peer-reviewed papers\, and has written eight books including five national bestsellers: The Next Economy (Ballantine 1983)\, Growing a Business (Simon & Schuster 1987)\, and The Ecology of Commerce (HarperCollins 1993) Blessed Unrest (Viking\, 2007)\, and Drawdown\, The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming (Penguin). \n\n*** ​Please note *** \n– Doors at 6pm. Program at 7pm.\n– Duration of event is subject to author’s preference.\n– Signing details TBA soon.\n– Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
