SUMMARY:Sarah Henry hosting Q&A and book-signing with author Mary Ladd
DESCRIPTION:Mary Ladd will co-host a book-signing and Q&A with author Sarah Henry. \nThe Wig Diaries is Mary Ladd’s debut disrespectful cancer book\, delivered with bold gallows humor to intimately address the gravity of cancer\, invites the reader to bear witness to both the horror and the joke(s). Armed with humor and creative sensibility\, Ladd robs her diagnosis of its dour weightiness. Refusing to tiptoe around the gnarlier elements of treatment and recovery\, the narrative is powerful in its unvarnished honesty. Infused with a contagious lust for life and exemplified by hilarious anecdotes.

SUMMARY:Matt Saincome & Bill Conway: The Hard Times
DESCRIPTION:Matt Saincome and Bill Conway discuss The Hard Times: The First 40 Years. \nA sharp\, comedic send-up of punk and hardcore culture\, from the creators of the popular and critically-lauded satire site The Hard Times.net. \nThe Hard Times: The First 40 Years is the first book from The Hard Times.net\, the Internet’s favorite music satire site. Often referred to as “The Onion for punk rock\,” the site has developed a sizable\, devoted following for its razor-sharp takes on underground music and alternative culture. And with headlines like “Man Magically Transforms into Music Historian While Talking to Women” and “Pretentious Friend Only Listens to Podcasts on Vinyl\,” you don’t have to be a punk rock diehard to appreciate their hilarious commentary. \nNow\, in this ’zine-style “historical retrospective\,” the writers behind the site document its development alongside the rise of punk rock\, with original articles from their ‘archives’ commenting upon ’70s\, ’80s\, and ’90s punk\, and site-specific fan favorites from the aughts-onward. With its unique aesthetic and laugh-out-loud humor\, The Hard Times will be the perfect gift book for music nerds and pop culture devotees everywhere.

SUMMARY:Peter Jan Honigsberg
DESCRIPTION:Peter Jan Honigsberg\n\n\n\n\nlaunches his new book A Place Outside the Law: Forgotten Voices of Guantánamo\, containing firsthand testimonies from Guantánamo Bay\, inspiring future generations to never repeat the human rights violations of the detention center. \n“The definitive account of what happened at Guantánamo in all of its chilling and horrifying detail. What makes this book unique and compelling is that it is the story of what it does to people’s lives to create ‘a place outside the law.’ Through his countless interviews\, Professor Honigsberg describes the impact of Guantánamo on those who have been part of it: soldiers\, medical personnel\, lawyers\, interrogators\, torturers\, detainees. It is the story of what happens when a country abandons the rule of law.”–Erwin Chemerinsky\, UC Berkeley\, School of Law \nTo reserve your seat please purchase a copy of A Place Outside the Law by speaking to a bookseller or clicking on the cover below. \n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 13\, 2019 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nLaw scholar and Witness to Guantánamo founder Peter Jan Honigsberg uncovers a haunting portrait of life at the military prison and its toll\, not only on the detainees and their loved ones but also on its military and civilian personnel and the journalists who reported on it. \nHonigsberg conducted 158 interviews across 20 countries so that the people who lived and worked there could tell their heartbreaking and inspirational stories. In each one\, we face the reality that the healing process cannot begin until we start the conversation about what was done in the name of protecting our country. These are a few of them. Many alleged operatives in Guantánamo were purchased by the United States for ransom from Afghan and Pakistani soldiers. Brandon Neely\, a prison guard who processed the first group of suspected operatives to arrive in Cuba\, flew to London to embrace the detainees he guarded after leaving the military. Navy whistleblower Matt Diaz covertly released the names of 500 detainees by sending them in a greeting card to a lawyer in New York. Journalist Carol Rosenberg committed the past 17 years of her career to documenting life at Guantánamo. And Damien Corsetti\, an interrogator who came to be known as the “King of Torture\,” received ribbons and awards for the same cruel actions for which he was later prosecuted. \nIn startling\, aching prose\, A Place Outside the Law shines a light on these unheard voices\, and through them\, encourages the global community to embrace humanity as our greatest tool to make the world a safer place. \nPeter Jan Honigsberg is a professor at USF School of Law and the founder and director of Witness to Guantánamo. His research and teaching focuses on the rule of law and human rights violations that occurred in the detention center in Guantánamo\, as well as on the study of terrorism and post-9/11 issues. His books include Our Nation Unhinged: The Human Consequences of the War on Terror and Crossing Border Street: A Civil Rights Memoir. Honigsberg lives in Berkeley. \n  \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705
