SUMMARY:Mark Greenside at Alameda Authors Series IV
DESCRIPTION:Details:  \nThe fourth annual Alameda Authors Series\, sponsored by\, AAUW Alameda and the Friends of the Alameda Free Library\, continues with best-selling author and chronicler of life in France\,  Mark Greenside. \nMr. Greenside will speak about (not quite) Mastering the Art of French Living\, a memoir that details Greenside’s daily adventures in his adopted French home\, where the simplest tasks are never straightforward but always end in a great story. \n Reservations requested: \nhttps://markgreenside-aauw2020.eventbrite.com \nPraise for  \n(not quite) Mastering the Art of French Living  \n— David Lebovitz\, author of My Paris Kitchen and L’appart\nLearning how to shop\, drive\, and eat in France have their own sets of rules\, and (not quite) Mastering the Art of French Living tackles them with a soupçon of humor. From buying a lamp to mastering mollusks (oysters)\, and learning the right—and wrong ways—things are done in France\, Mark Greenside perseveres . . . and succeeds \n— Julie Barlow\, author of The Bonjour Effect\, The Story of Spanish\, The Story of French\, and Sixty Million Frenchmen Can’t Be Wrong\nFailure to speak French has never been so funny! Greenside may never master the gender of French nouns\, but he sees straight through the French. A smart\, delicious memoir of life off the beaten track in France. \n— Susan Herrmann Loomis\, author of On Rue Tatin\, and proprietor of the cooking school On Rue Tatin in Normandy and Paris\nMark Greenside recounts hilarious experiences only a foreigner can have in France\, for they’re the ordinary things of French life that go unnoticed by the locals yet the funniest of things for someone from the ‘outside’! \n— William Alexander\, author of Flirting with French: How a Language Charmed Me\, Seduced Me\, and Nearly Broke My Heart\nSurely the funniest American to land in France since Jerry Lewis\, Greenside ‘masters’ the baffling rules of French life in principle\, while mangling them—to hilarious effect—in practice. A delightful pas de deux of humor and wisdom.” \nAbout the author: \n Mark Greenside holds B.S. and M.A. degrees from the University of Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:Gretchen Sorin: Driving While Black: African-American Travel & Road to Civil Rights
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM & Marcus Books present:\nGRETCHEN SORIN\nDriving While Black: African American Travel and the Road to Civil Rights\nWith Sabrina Jacobs \nadvance tickets: $12: T: 800-838-3006 or independent bookstores\, $15 door\, benefits KPFA Radio 94.1FM  info: kpfa.org/events \nDriving While Black explains clearly how the automobile fundamentally changed African American Life. This is the dramatic history behind the best picture-winning film. \n“No one who reads Driving While Black can fail to be moved and wonderstruck by how far American society has come in the last century and a half in forwarding the dream of equal mobility for all\, and by how far we still have to go.” -Ric Burns\, documentary filmmaker and writer \nThe ultimate symbol of independence and possibility\, the automobile has always held distinct importance for African Americans\, allowing black families to evade the many dangers presented by our entrenched racist society\, and to enjoy – in some measure – the freedom of the open road. Gretchen Sorin recovers the forgotten history of black motorists and recounts their creation of a parallel\, unseen world of travel guides\, black-only hotels\, and informal communication networks that kept black drivers safe. At the heart of this story is Victor and Alma Green’s famous Green Book\, which made possible that most basic American right-the family vacation-and encouraged a new method of resisting oppression.  Enlivened by Sorin’s personal history\, Driving While Black  opens a fresh\, entirely new view of the African American experience\, and shows why travel was central to the civil rights’ movement. \nGretchen Sorin is Distinguished Professor and Director of the Cooperstown Graduate Program of the State University of New York. \nSabrina Jacobs is host and producer of the popular A Rude Awakening\, aired on KPFA Radio Monday afternoons. \n$12 advance\, $15 door. \nhttp://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/4486337  510-967-4495
