But one day Rang unintentionally tells the whole class about b’s dying sister and how her family is poor\, and each of them finds herself desperately alone. The only place they can reclaim themselves\, and perhaps each other\, is beyond the part of town where lunatics live—the End. \nIn a piercing\, heartbreaking\, and astonishingly honest voice\, Kim Sagwa’s b\, Book\, and Me walks the precipice between youth and adulthood\, reminding us how perilous the edge can be. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAuthor / Kim Sagwa\n\n\nKim Sagwa is one of South Korea’s most acclaimed emerging writers. She is the author of several novels\, story collections\, and works of nonfiction\, and has been shortlisted for several major South Korean awards\, including the Munji Prize and the Young Writers Award.

SUMMARY:Harlem of The West: The San Francisco Fillmore Jazz Era
DESCRIPTION:In the 1940s and 50s\, a jazz aficionado could find paradise in the nightclubs of San Francisco’s Fillmore District: Billie Holiday sang at the Champagne Supper Club; Chet Baker and Dexter Gordon jammed with the house band at Bop City; and T-Bone Walker rubbed shoulders with the locals at the bar of Texas Playhouse. The Fillmore was one of the few neighborhoods in the Bay Area where people of color could go for entertainment\, and so many legendary African American musicians performed there for friends and family that the neighborhood was known as the Harlem of the West. Over a dozen clubs dotted the twenty-block-radius. Filling out the streets were restaurants\, pool halls\, theaters\, and stores\, many of them owned and run by African Americans\, Japanese Americans\, and Filipino Americans. The entire neighborhood was a giant multicultural party pulsing with excitement and music. In 220 lovingly restored images and oral accounts from residents and musicians\, Harlem of the West captures a joyful\, exciting time in San Francisco\, and reveals a momentous part of the country’s African American musical heritage.

SUMMARY:Howard Eiland
DESCRIPTION:City Lights in conjunction with the Program in Critical Theory at the University of California at Berkeley present an evening with Howard Eiland \ncelebrating two new books \nOrigin of the German Trauerspiel – by Walter Benjamin – (Tr. Howard Eiland) – published by Harvard University Press \nand \nNotes on Literature\, Film\, and Jazz – by Howard Eiland – published by Spuyten Duyvil \nabout Origin of the German Trauerspiel \n\nOrigin of the German Trauerspiel was Walter Benjamin’s first full\, historically oriented analysis of modernity. Readers of English know it as “The Origin of German Tragic Drama\,” but in fact the subject is something else―the play of mourning. Howard Eiland’s completely new English translation\, the first since 1977\, is closer to the German text and more consistent with Benjamin’s philosophical idiom. \nFocusing on the extravagant seventeenth-century theatrical genre of the trauerspiel\, precursor of the opera\, Benjamin identifies allegory as the constitutive trope of the Baroque and of modernity itself. Allegorical perception bespeaks a world of mutability and equivocation\, a melancholy sense of eternal transience without access to the transcendentals of the medieval mystery plays―though no less haunted and bedeviled. History as trauerspiel is the condition as well as subject of modern allegory in its inscription of the abyssal. \nBenjamin’s investigation of the trauerspiel includes German texts and late Renaissance European drama such as Hamlet and Calderón’s Life Is a Dream. The prologue is one of his most important and difficult pieces of writing. It lays out his method of indirection and his idea of the “constellation” as a key means of grasping the world\, making dynamic unities out of the myriad bits of daily life. Thoroughly annotated with a philological and historical introduction and other explanatory and supplementary material\, this rigorous and elegant new translation brings fresh understanding to a cardinal work by one of the twentieth century’s greatest literary critics. \n\nabout Notes on Literature\, Film\, and Jazz \nWeaving through a host of “classic” texts—literary\, cinematic\, and musical—these notes of a close reader set up echoes and reflections across signature moments. \nHoward Eiland’s Notes on Literature\, Film\, and Jazz is a highly erudite and courageous inquiry into the arts. It addresses a dissident force in art while discussing an impressively diverse range of works and ideas in literature\, film\, and jazz. For instance: Shakespeare\, Cervantes\, and Jane Austen mix with Dickens and Kafka; Carl Dreyer intersects with Mizoguchi\, Bresson\, Lynch\, and Madden; Eric Dolphy and Cecil Taylor process Schoenberg\, Berg\, and Webern. In a quasi-musical way\, Notes interweaves elements within and between works—elements that open onto the unknown in an utterly questioning and self-questioning way. Eiland’s eloquent writing itself exemplifies this “aesthetic\,” if it may be called that; the writing is enthralling in its capacity to challenge both the works examined and those who would assess them. Notes focuses on those energies in art that enact image spaces and spatiotemporal alterations in which life is never quite what it seems to be. This extraordinarily original book will interest all concerned with broad implications of developments in literature\, film\, and jazz. \nHoward Eiland is a critic and translator. He received the 2011 James A. and Ruth Levitan Prize for Excellence in Teaching. He is the co-author\, with Michael W. Jennings\, of the first English-language biography of Walter Benjamin\, an influential German writer who died in 1940 while in flight from the Nazis. He co-edited three volumes of Benjamin’s Selected Writings and co-translated Benjamin’s massive Arcades Project\, and he has also translated Benjamin’s Berlin Childhood around 1900\, his On Hashish\, and his Early Writings: 1910-1917. His recent publications include work on film and jazz. Current projects are “Walter Benjamin’s Jewishness” and “Education as Awakening.”

SUMMARY:Craig Vachon\, The Knucklehead of Silicon Valley
DESCRIPTION:ookshop welcomes Craig Vachon for a reading and signing of The Knucklehead of Silicon Valley\, his entertaining tale of a befuddled but highly capable venture capitalist who is compelled to chart his own course on a global quest to save his new brain-computer interface tool from falling into some very\, very wrong hands. \nRalph Gibsen isn’t your typical spy. In fact\, he may not be a spy at all. He’s lumpy\, blundering and abysmal at chatting up the fairer sex. Yet\, he is attracting a significant amount of attention from the intelligence community. After all\, as a 30-year Silicon Valley mainstay\, he can phish your passwords\, bust firewalls\, and has developed software used by millions to circumvent government censorship. And now\, he thinks he has stumbled upon a cabal who is pushing to misuse his own technology for world domination. \nRalph helps create an educational Tool that maps a learner’s neurological processes and pinpoints the exact moment a student learns. But the Tool can also manipulate people’s beliefs. At least\, that what several influential people think. Soon\, Ralph finds himself the target of increasingly complex attacks on his businesses\, reputation\, freedom\, and life. \nRalph enlists an eclectic group of ‘frenemies’ to thwart this nefarious plot. McKenna may or may not still work for the CIA. Beautiful Eva may work for the Chinese government\, who wants the Tool for themselves. Even Ralph’s lovely wife Jen could be involved… Ralph simply isn’t equipped to figure it out. And the world is closing in. \n“Knucklehead is like being shot out of an Ethernet cable lined with exotic travel and baroque paintings and landing on a sea of electricity.” —Peterson Conway \nAbout the author: The character of Ralph Gibsen\, the protagonist of The Knucklehead of Silicon Valley\, isn’t based on the author G. Craig Vachon.

It’s held me when a body couldn’t; it’s given me the power to alchemize my grief into something beautiful and way less scary or intimidating. For me\, creating songs is like choosing specific emotions or memories and building them altars of remembrance that I can return to whenever I need to. Writing & playing music acts as a tool to articulate my sometimes painful emotions into something less abstract and more concrete; something not only I can find catharsis in\, but when shared\, can also build a bridge to others who have shared experiences.” \nSign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly\, so if you want to perform\, you’d better get there early… \nIf you’re going to perform\, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)]. \nPoetry\, prose\, music\, dancing\, comedy\, drama\, happy\, sad\, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want. \nYou don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers. \nPlease don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly\, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument\, figure it out before you’re called to the stage. \nIMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday\, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously\, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged. \nYou’re Going to Die. No. Really. You are.
