SUMMARY:Alia Volz in conversation with Rebecca Skloot with HOME BAKED on Instagram Live
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Instagram Live @SquareBooks for a virtual event with Alia Volz and Rebecca Skloot (The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks) on Thursday\, April 30th at 5:30 PM CST. \nA blazingly funny\, heartfelt memoir from the daughter of the larger-than-life woman who ran Sticky Fingers Brownies\, an underground bakery that distributed thousands of marijuana brownies per month and helped provide medical marijuana to AIDS patients in San Francisco—for fans of Armistead Maupin and Patricia Lockwood \nDuring the ’70s in San Francisco\, Alia’s mother ran the underground Sticky Fingers Brownies\, delivering upwards of 10\,000 illegal marijuana edibles per month throughout the circus-like atmosphere of a city in the throes of major change. She exchanged psychic readings with Alia’s future father\, and thereafter had a partner in business and life. \nDecades before cannabusiness went mainstream\, when marijuana was as illicit as heroin\, they ingeniously hid themselves in plain sight\, parading through town—and through the scenes and upheavals of the day\, from Gay Liberation to the tragedy of the Peoples Temple—in bright and elaborate outfits\, the goods wrapped in hand-designed packaging and tucked into Alia’s stroller. But the stars were not aligned forever and\, after leaving the city and a shoulda-seen-it-coming divorce\, Alia and her mom returned to San Francisco in the mid-80s\, this time using Sticky Fingers’ distribution channels to provide medical marijuana to friends and former customers now suffering the depredations of AIDS. \nExhilarating\, laugh-out-loud funny\, and heartbreaking\, Home Baked celebrates an eccentric and remarkable extended family\, taking us through love\, loss\, and finding home. \nAbout the Author \nALIA VOLZ is a homegrown San Franciscan. Her writing appears in The Best American Essays 2017\, the New York Times\, Tin House\, Threepenny Review\, River Teeth\, Nowhere magazine\, Utne Reader\, New England Review and the recent anthologies Dig If You Will the Picture: Writers Reflect on Prince and Golden State 2017: Best New Writing from California. A 2018 MacDowell Colony fellow\, Volz has also been an Artist in Residence with Writing Between the Vines and the Soaring Gardens Artists Retreat. The Squaw Valley Community of Writers awarded her the Oakley Hall Memorial Scholarship twice. She was runner-up of The Moth’s GrandSLAM Championship in 2014 and has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

SUMMARY:Robert Mailer Anderson at City Lights Bookstore
DESCRIPTION:Windows on the World \nCo-authored with Zack Anderson \nIllustrations by Jon Sack \npublished by Fantagraphics Books \nSet in a New York City in mourning\, this poignant graphic novel explores the push-and-pull between love and obligation. \nOn the morning of September 11\, 2001\, an undocumented worker named Balthazar busses tables at New York City’s famous Windows on the World restaurant. Back in Mexico\, his family watches their TV screen in horror as the Twin Towers collapse. Refusing to give up hope that Balthazar is alive\, his son Fernando embarks on a treacherous journey across the border to New York to find him. Along the way\, Fernando learns what it means to be undocumented in America — encountering at turns an indifferent bureaucracy and a supportive group of fellow immigrants who help guide him through his quixotic mission to bring his family back together. \nNow a major motion picture! \nRobert Mailer Anderson is a San Francisco Library Laureate as well as a novelist\, screenwriter\, producer\, and activist. He is the author of the novel Boonville. \nJon Sack is a US and UK based artist and writer whose comic books include La Lucha and Iraqi Oil For Beginners.
