SUMMARY:Gibby Haynes / Me and Mr. Cigar
DESCRIPTION:reading from his new novel \nMe and Mr. Cigar \npublished by Soho Press \nFrom the wild and wonderful mind of Gibby Haynes—world famous Butthole Surfers front man/lyricist and self-proclaimed eternal Texan adolescent—comes the surreal tale of seventeen-year-old Oscar Lester and his trusted dog\, Mr. Cigar. \nOscar and his dog have made a pretty good life for themselves\, despite the fact that Oscar’s family has all but vanished—his father is dead; his mother has a new boyfriend. His older sister\, Rachel\, fled five years ago…right after Mr. Cigar bit off her hand. \nDespite the freak accident\, Oscar knows his dog is no menace. Mr. Cigar is a loyal protector: a supernatural creature that can exact revenge\, communicate telepathically\, and manipulate car doors and windows with ease. So\, when Rachel—now twenty-two and an artist living in New York—calls out of the blue and claims she’s being held hostage\, Oscar sees an opportunity to make things right between them. \nHe races north\, intent on both saving Rachel and fleeing the mysterious evil forces targeting his dog. And it’s only by embarking on this dual quest that Oscar starts to untangle his own life and understand the bizarre reality of Mr. Cigar. \n*Features original artwork by Gibby Haynes as full color endpapers and illustrations throughout the book. \nGibby Haynes is a musician\, visual artist\, writer\, and filmmaker best known as a founding member of the Butthole Surfers\, whose outrageous concerts spawned a global cult following and whose albums have sold millions worldwide. He lives in Brooklyn with his family. Me & Mr. Cigar is his first novel.

SUMMARY:Berkeley Arts & Letters presents Roz Chast & Patricia Marx / You Can Only Yell at Me for One Thing at a Time: Rules for Couples
DESCRIPTION:The perfect Valentine’s Day or anniversary gift: An illustrated collection of love and relationship advice from New Yorker writer Patricia Marx\, with illustrations from New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast. \nEveryone’s heard the old advice for a healthy relationship: Never go to bed angry. Play hard to get. Sexual favors in exchange for cleaning up the cat vomit is a good and fair trade. \nOkay\, not that last one. It’s one of the tips in You Can Only Yell at Me for One Thing at a Time: Rules for Couples by the authors of Why Don’t You Write My Eulogy Now So I Can Correct It: A Mother’s Suggestions. This guide will make you laugh\, remind you why your relationship is better than everyone else’s\, and solve all your problems. \nNuggets of advice include: \nIf you must breathe\, don’t breathe so loudly. \nIt is easier to stay inside and wait for the snow to melt than to fight about who should shovel. \nQueen-sized beds\, king-sized blankets. \nWhy not give this book to your significant or insignificant other\, your anti-Valentine’s Day crusader pal\, or anyone who can’t live with or without love? \n—– \nRoz Chast has loved to draw cartoons since she was a child growing up in Brooklyn. She attended Rhode Island School of Design\, majoring in Painting because it seemed more artistic. However\, soon after graduating\, she reverted to type and began drawing cartoons once again. \nPatricia Marx has been contributing to The New Yorker since 1989. She is a former writer for Saturday Night Live and Rugrats\, and is the author of several books. Marx was the first woman elected to the Harvard Lampoon. She has taught screenwriting and humor writing at Princeton\, New York University\, and Stonybrook University. She was the recipient of a 2015 Guggenheim Fellowship. \n—– \n*** Please note *** \nDoors at 6pm. Program at 7pm. Duration of event is subject to authors’ preference. \nSigning details TBA soon. \nTickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. All ticket sales are final. \nThis 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.
