SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Caitlin Myer / Wiving: A Memoir of Loving Then Leaving the Patriarchy
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith is thrilled to host Caitlin Myer for the launch of her debut\, Wiving: A Memoir of Loving Then Leaving the Patriarchy. Please join us! \nThis is a free event\, but RSVP is required. RSVP here. \n\nAt thirty-six years old\, Caitlin Myer is ready to start a family with her husband. She has left behind the restrictive confines of her Mormon upbringing and early sexual trauma and believes she is now living her happily ever after … when her body betrays her. In a single week\, she suffers the twin losses of a hysterectomy and the death of her mother\, and she is jolted into a terrible awakening that forces her to reckon with her past—and future. \nThis is the story of one woman’s lifelong combat with a culture—her “escape” from religion at age twenty\, only to find herself similarly entrapped in the gender conventions of the secular culture at large\, conventions that teach girls and women to shape themselves to please men\, to become good wives and mothers. The biblical characters Yael and Judith\, wives who became assassins\, become her totems as she evolves from wifely submission to warrior independence. \nAn electric debut that loudly redefines our notions of womanhood\, Wiving grapples with the intersections of religion and sex\, trauma and love\, sickness and mental illness\, and a woman’s harrowing enlightenment. Building on the literary tradition of difficult women who struggle to be heard\, Wiving introduces an urgent\, striking voice to the scene of contemporary women’s writing at a time when we must explode old myths and build new stories in their place. \n \n\nCaitlin Myer is the daughter of a poet and a visual artist\, and she grew up in a large\, chaotic Mormon family in Provo\, Utah. Her short stories\, poetry\, and essays have appeared in No Tokens\, Electric Literature \, The Butter\, Cultural Weekly\, and Joyland\, among others\, and she was a 2012 MacDowell Colony Fellow. In 2010\, Myer founded the San Francisco–based literary reading series\, Portuguese Artists Colony (PAC)\, which has extended its reach beyond the US to performances in Portugal. For seven years she traveled the world\, and she has recently settled in Guimarães\, Portugal. \n\nThis event is free and all ages\, but RSVP is required.

SUMMARY:Conversations with Authors - Laurie R. King (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:Laurie R. King‘s Riviera Gold brings back Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes—this time to the Riviera\, where they’re challenged to crack their most captivating case yet. \nIn her Russell & Holmes stories\, Laurie explores ideas—the roots of conflict in the Middle East and Afghanistan; feminism and early Christianity; patriotism and individual responsibility—while also having a rousing good time. Five of Laurie’s novels concern San Francisco homicide inspector Kate Martinelli\, Kate’s SFPD partner Al Hawkin\, and her life partner Lee Cooper. Her stand-alone suspense novels include A Darker Place\, Folly\, and Keeping Watch. She has also collaborated on nonfiction works including Crime & Thriller Writing and The Grand Game\, and on several short story anthologies. \nLaurie is the third generation in her family native to the San Francisco area. She spent her childhood reading her way through libraries up and down the West Coast; her middle years raising children\, renovating houses\, traveling the world\, and doing a BA and MA in theology. (Her long autobiography goes into detail about how she uses these interests.) She now lives a genteel life of crime\, on California’s central coast. \nCara Black is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of 19 books in the Private Investigator Aimée Leduc series\, which is set in Paris. Cara has received multiple nominations for the Anthony and Macavity Awards\, a Washington Post Book World Book of the Year citation\, the Médaille de la Ville de Paris—the Paris City Medal\, which is awarded in recognition of contribution to international culture—and invitations to be the Guest of Honor at conferences such as the Paris Polar Crime Festival and Left Coast Crime. With more than 400\,000 books in print\, the Aimée Leduc series has been translated into German\, Norwegian\, Japanese\, French\, Spanish\, Italian\, and Hebrew.
