SUMMARY:Oakland Noir
DESCRIPTION:DIESEL\, A Bookstore in Oakland is pleased to welcome contributors of Oakland Noir to the store to celebrate this new release on Wednesday\, April 12th at 7:00 pm. The participants for this evening include editors Jerry Thompson and Eddie Muller and authors Dorothy Lazard\, Nick Petrulakis\, and Keri Miki-Lani Schroeder . \nIn the wake of San Francisco Noir\, Los Angeles Noir\, and Orange County Noir—all popular volumes in the Akashic Noir Series—comes the latest California installment\, Oakland Noir. Masterfully curated by Jerry Thompson and Eddie Muller (the “Czar of Noir”)\, this volume will shock\, titillate\, provoke\, and entertain. The diverse cast of talented contributors will not disappoint. \nJerry Thompson is an accomplished violinist\, playwright\, and poet. He is the co-author of Black Artists in Oakland\, and owned Black Spring Books\, an independent bookstore. He is the co-editor of Oakland Noir. \n  \nEddie Muller\, a.k.a. the “Czar of Noir\,” has been nominated for several Edgar and Anthony awards\, and his novel The Distance won a Shamus Award. He produces the San Francisco Noir City Film Festival\, the largest annual film noir retrospective in the world\, and is a frequent host on Turner Classic Movies. He is the co-editor of Oakland Noir. \n  \nDorothy Lazard grew up in West Oakland and was an early fan of the library. She has worked at the Oakland Main Library since 1983 and is now the reference librarian of the Main Library’s Oakland History Room. \n  \nNick Petrulakis is a bookseller and self-taught mixologist –  what could be a more natural pairing? Inspired by books\, characters\, settings\, and authors\, he uses all of these elements for inspiration when creating a new drink. Check out his blog\, Drinks with Nick to see his latest cocktails. \n  \nKeri Miki-Lani Schroeder is a visual artist and writer based in Oakland. A fan of all things odd\, experimental\, or transgressive\, Schroeder creates artist books and dark short fiction. After earning an MFA in book art and creative writing from Mills College in 2015\, Schroeder now works for Flying Fish Press\, an independent publisher of limited-edition artists’ books\, and teaches book art workshops and classes.

SUMMARY:Yrsa Daley-Ward
DESCRIPTION:Yrsa Daley-Ward contemplates her role in the world in which she lives and loves\, reading pieces from Alice Walker and other writers. The entire evening features open dialogue with audience members\, and opens with a reading by Oakland writer\, Christian Johnson. \nDUENDE\nWednesday\, April 12 • 7PM\nhttp://matatu.eventbrite.com/ \n__________\nYrsa Daley-Ward was raised by her devout Seventh Day Adventist grandparents in the small town of Chorley in the North of England\, and is of mixed West African and West Indian heritage. After moving to London\, Yrsa began a full-time career in modeling and acting\, visible on runways and magazine covers in Angola\, Cameroon\, Nigeria and South Africa. In 2013\, her first collection of stories ‘On Snakes and Other Stories\,’ was published while living between Cape Town and Johannesburg\, followed up with Yrsa’s widely acclaimed\, ‘Bone.’ \n__________\nBorn in Oakland\, California\, Christian Johnson is a writer\, image maker\, and film curator. His work aims to create multi-layered revolutionary images of the black body in motion. Johnson is one half of the brain trust behind last years Black Atheistic film series\, and as the artist in residence at E.M. Wolfman he is in preproduction on the short film “A Moment of Truth + Sin.” A forthcoming book of essays on last years film series entitled “Black Asthetic Season 1” will be released later this year. \n__________\nThe Kenyan matatu\, the Thai tuk-tuk\, and the Brooklyn dollar van are means of public transport used by people around the world. MATATU replicates these vehicles as a mode of collective and publicly accessible transportation\, rooted in local community and global diasporas\, that shuttles audiences from one arthouse experience to the next. \nMATATU is a fiscally sponsored project of Intersection for the Arts\, and supported by KQED\, East Bay Express\, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

SUMMARY:Joyce Carol Oates
DESCRIPTION:Joyce Carol Oates is a recipient of the National Humanities Medal\, the National Book Critics Circle Ivan Sandrof Lifetime Achievement Award\, the National Book Award\, and the PEN/Malamud Award for Excellence in Short Fiction. She has written some of the most enduring fiction of our time\, including the national bestsellers We Were the Mulvaneys\, Blonde (a finalist for the National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize)\, and the New York Times bestsellers The Falls (winner of the 2005 Prix Femina Etranger) and The Gravedigger’s Daughter. She is the Roger S. Berlind Distinguished Professor of the Humanities at Princeton University. \nIn this striking\, enormously affecting novel\, Joyce Carol Oates tells the story of two very different and yet intimately linked American families. Luther Dunphy is a zealous evangelical who envisions himself as acting out God’s will when he assassinates an abortion provider in his small Ohio town\, while Augustus Voorhees\, the idealistic but self-regarding doctor who is killed\, leaves behind a wife and children scarred and embittered by grief. \nIn her moving\, keenly observed portrait\, Joyce Carol Oates fully inhabits the perspectives of two interwoven families whose destinies are defined by their warring convictions and squarely—but with great empathy—confronts an intractable\, abiding rift in American society. A Book of American Martyrs is a stunning\, timely depiction of an issue hotly debated on a national stage but which makes itself felt most lastingly in communities torn apart by violence and hatred.
