SUMMARY:Harmada: Juan Cárdenas and Edgar Garbelotto celebrate João Gilberto Noll
DESCRIPTION:Join Unabridged Bookstore and Two Lines Press for an event celebrating João Gilberto Noll’s Harmada\, a mythic tale of art and displacement nimbly translated from Portuguese by Edgar Garbelotto. \nEdgar Garbelotto will be in conversation with Juan Cárdenas\, author of Ornamental. Sign up on Unabridged Bookstore’s website to join this virtual event. And while you’re there don’t forget to grab a copy of the book for yourself and a friend! \nAbout Harmada: \nLike an Edenic Adam birthed from the clay\, our narrator rises to his feet from the muck—reborn\, or something like that. Unbeknownst to him\, he’s on a desperate search for Harmada\, the capital city of an unnamed nation and the land of his former glory. Told using Noll’s characteristic fragmented logic and spirited prose\, Harmada traces the life of this nameless man on a voyage that takes him from aimless outcast to revered director of avant-garde theater\, from asylum patient to father to God\, conjuring along the way essential questions about the power of art and storytelling\, the vanity of glory\, and the meaning of freedom. \nA mythic tale of art and displacement nimbly translated from Portuguese by Edgar Garbelotto\, Harmada serves as yet another reminder of João Gilberto Noll’s sublime literary power: generous in its mystery; earthbound in its essential urges; and entirely unpredictable.

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Valzhyna Mort and Carolyn Forché

These poems are not only moving\, they do the most elementary work of human language. They elevate the miserable\, the barbarian\, the numb to the level of universal idiom of wisdom and grace.” ―Adam Zagajewski\, author of Asymmetry  \n“At the core of Valzhyna Mort’s lyric fusion of personal and collective history is the uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction at Chernobyl\, spreading the radiation of an unknown tongue across her natal city of Minsk\, Belarus\, a city that hides its column-ribs/under a nurse-clean robe of snow pandemics. In the liminal space between language and silence\, at dizzying imaginative speed\, Mort transmutes her third language\, English\, into something resembling a fourth: the language of all that has been kept from consciousness concerning the century past. Her lyric art in contemporary English is astonishing\, and glimmering beneath it is something not often encountered: the sensibility of another world\, arriving to inform our perilous present. Music for the Dead and Resurrected is fiercely original\, and a tour de force.”―Carolyn Forché\, author of In the Lateness of the World    \n“Mort is well-known in Europe as a crusader on behalf of Belarusian language and identity. In English\, cast in rapid-fire free verse lyrics and sequences\, her poems seem to channel her country’s complicated and highly pressurized history into a voice that is simultaneously strange\, intimate\, lonesome\, hilarious\, surreal\, and all too real . . .”―Craig Morgan Teicher\, NPR \nAbout Music for the Dead and Resurrected \nIn her letters to the dead\, the prizewinning poet Valzhyna Mort relearns how to mourn those erased by violent history. \nIn Music for the Dead and Resurrected Valzhyna Mort asks how we mourn after a century of silence and propaganda. How do we remember our history and sing after being silenced? Mort draws on intimate and paradoxical firsthand accounts of a past grandparent generation of the Soviet labor camps\, redistribution of land\, and massacres of World War II in Belarus. As her country is being run by a longtime dictator\, the poet creates a ceremony of mythmaking for the erased history and family. \nMusic for the Dead and Resurrected is a space where the living and the dead can coexist\, where the Belarusian woods can act as witnesses to forgotten lives\, and where musical form can create a new lyric mythology and an uncompromised language of remembrance. Mort\, born in Belarus and now living in America\, teaches us that the remembrance of private histories has a power to confront collective\, violent American myths.

SUMMARY:Ling Ma
DESCRIPTION:THE EVENT: \nThe Center for Literary Arts is pleased to present Ling Ma\, author of Severance\, on Thursday\, November 12\, 2020 at 7PM. ​ \nThe event discussion will be moderated by Jiayang Fan. \nJiayang Fan became a staff writer at The New Yorker in 2016. Her reporting on China\, American politics\, and culture has appeared in the magazine and on newyorker.com since 2010. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaybe it’s the end of the world\, but not for Candace Chen\, a millennial\, first-generation American and office drone meandering her way into adulthood in Ling Ma’s offbeat\, wryly funny\, apocalyptic satire\, Severance. \n\nCandace Chen\, self-sequestered in a Manhattan office tower\, is so devoted to routine that she barely notices when a plague of biblical proportions sweeps New York. Then Shen Fever spreads. Families flee. Companies halt operations. The subways squeak to a halt. Her bosses enlist her as part of a dwindling skeleton crew with a big end-date payoff. Soon entirely alone\, still unfevered\, she photographs the eerie\, abandoned city as the anonymous blogger NY Ghost. \n\nA send-up and takedown of the rituals\, routines\, and missed opportunities of contemporary life\, Ling Ma’s Severance is a moving family story\, a quirky coming-of-adulthood tale\, and a hilarious\, deadpan satire. Most important\, it’s a heartfelt tribute to the connections that drive us to do more than survive. \n\n\nTHE BOOK:  \n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTHE AUTHOR: \n\n\nLing Ma received her MFA from Cornell University. Prior to graduate school she worked as a journalist and editor. Her writing has appeared in Granta\, Vice\, Playboy\, Chicago Reader\, Ninth Letter and elsewhere. A chapter of Severance received the 2015 Graywolf SLS Prize. She lives in Chicago.

If they stay in the city\, Agnes will die\, but there is only one alternative – joining a group of volunteers in the Wilderness State. This vast expanse of unwelcoming\, untamed land is untouched by mankind. Until now. Living as nomadic hunter-gatherers\, Bea and Agnes slowly learn how to survive on this unpredictable\, often dangerous land. But as Agnes embraces the wild freedom of her new existence\, Bea realises that saving her daughter’s life means losing her in a different way. \nAt once a blazing lament of our contempt for nature and a deeply humane portrayal of motherhood\, and what it means to be human\, The New Wilderness is an extraordinary\, compelling novel for our times. \nDiane Cook is a critically acclaimed novelist and short story writer. Her debut collection\, Man v Nature\, was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award and the L.A. Times Book Prize. A recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship\, her stories have appeared in Harper’s\, Tin House and Granta\, and Best American Short Stories. The former producer for This American Life lives in Brooklyn. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705
