SUMMARY:Courttia Newland in conversation with Naomi Jackson and Victor LaValle
DESCRIPTION:Courttia Newland in conversation with Naomi Jackson and Victor LaValle  \ndiscussing Courttia Newland’s newly published novel \nA River Called Time \nfrom Akashic Books \n———- \nThis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Zoom platform.

(link to be posted soon) \n———– \n(Click Here) to purchase book. (link to be posted soon) \n———– \n \nThe Ark was built to save the lives of the many\, but rapidly became a refuge for the elite\, the entrance closed without warning. \nYears after the Ark was cut off from the world—a world much like our own\, but in which slavery has never existed—a chance of survival within the Ark’s confines is granted to a select few who can prove their worth. Among their number is Markriss Denny\, whose path to future excellence is marred only by a closely guarded secret: without warning\, his spirit leaves his body\, allowing him to see and experience a world far beyond his physical limitations. \nOnce inside the Ark\, Denny learns of another with the same power\, whose existence could spell catastrophe for humanity. He is forced into a desperate race to understand his abilities\, and in doing so uncovers the truth about the Ark\, himself\, and the people he thought he once knew. \nCourttia Newland is the author of seven books including his much-lauded debut\, The Scholar. His last novel\, The Gospel According to Cane\, was published by Akashic in 2013. In 2016 he was awarded the Roland Rees Bursary for playwriting. As a screenwriter\, he has written two episodes of the Steve McQueen BBC series Small Axe. A River Called Time is his latest book. \nNaomi Jackson is author of The Star Side of Bird Hill\, published by Penguin Press in June 2015. The Star Side of Bird Hill was nominated for an NAACP Image Award and the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award and longlisted for the National Book Critics Circle’s John Leonard Prize\, the Center for Fiction’s First Novel Prize\, and the International Dublin Literary Award. Star Side was named an Honor Book for Fiction by the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. It was also selected for the American Booksellers Association’s Indies Introduce and Indies Next List programs. The book has been reviewed by The New York Times\, The New Yorker\, Kirkus Reviews\, NPR.org and Entertainment Weekly\, which called Star Side “a gem of a book.“ Publishers Weekly named Jackson a Writer to Watch. Jackson is Assistant Professor of English at Rutgers University-Newark. She was the 2018-19 Writer-in-Residence at Queens College and previously taught at the University of Iowa\, University of Pennsylvania\, City College of New York\, and Oberlin College. \nVictor LaValle is the author of four novels which include\, The Ecstatic\, Big Machine\, The Devil in Silver\, and The Changeling and two novellas\, Lucretia and the Kroons and The Ballad of Black Tom\, as well as a short story collection titled Slapboxing with Jesus.

SUMMARY:Conversations with Authors - Jasmin Darznik (Online Event)
DESCRIPTION:A dazzling novel of one of America’s most celebrated photographers\, Dorothea Lange\, exploring the wild years in San Francisco that awakened her career-defining grit\, compassion\, and daring. \nIn 1918\, a young and bright-eyed Dorothea Lange steps off the train in San Francisco\, where a disaster kick-starts a new life. Her friendship with Caroline Lee\, a vivacious\, straight-talking Chinese American with a complicated past\, gives Dorothea entrée into Monkey Block\, an artists’ colony and the bohemian heart of the city. Dazzled by Caroline and her friends\, Dorothea is catapulted into a heady new world of freedom\, art\, and politics. She also finds herself unexpectedly falling in love with the brilliant but troubled painter Maynard Dixon. Dorothea and Caroline eventually create a flourishing portrait studio\, but a devastating betrayal pushes their friendship to the breaking point and alters the course of their lives. \nThe Bohemians captures a glittering and gritty 1920s San Francisco\, with a cast of unforgettable characters\, including cameos from such legendary figures as Mabel Dodge Luhan\, Frida Kahlo\, Ansel Adams\, and D. H. Lawrence. A vivid and absorbing portrait of the past\, it is also eerily resonant with contemporary themes\, as anti-immigration sentiment\, corrupt politicians\, and a devastating pandemic bring tumult to the city—and the gift of friendship and the possibility of self-invention persist against the ferocious pull of history. \nAs Dorothea sheds her innocence\, her purpose is awakened and she grows into the figure we know from history—the artist whose iconic Depression-era photographs like “Migrant Mother” broke the hearts and opened the eyes of a nation. \nJasmin Darznik’s debut novel\, Song of a Captive Bird\, was a New York Times Book Review “Editors’ Choice\,” a Los Angeles Times bestseller\, longlisted for the Center for Fiction Prize\, and awarded the Writers’ Center’s First Novel Prize. Darznik is also the author of the New York Times bestseller The Good Daughter: A Memoir of My Mother’s Hidden Life. Her books have been published in seventeen countries. She was born in Tehran\, Iran\, and came to America when she was five years old. She holds an MFA in fiction from Bennington College\, a JD from the University of California\, and a PhD in English from Princeton University. Now a professor of English and creative writing at California College of the Arts\, she lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her family. \n
