SUMMARY:Patrick Nathan discusses Some Hell
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS is very pleased to welcome Patrick Nathan to discuss his dynamic debut novel\, Some Hell\, on Tuesday\, March 13th at 7pm. He will be joined in conversation with our dear friend\, Scott Esposito. \nA wrenching and layered debut novel about a gay teen’s coming-of-age in the aftermath of his father’s suicide \nMiddle school hasn’t been going well for Colin. His teenage sister teases him mercilessly\, his autistic brother lashes out at him\, and he has a crush on his best friend\, Andy. But after the tragic night when his father commits suicide\, none of that matters. Diane\, his mother\, seeks solace in therapy. Colin is awash in guilt\, and casts about for someone to confide in: first his estranged grandfather\, then a predatory science teacher. But nothing helps as much as the strange writing his father kept in a series of notebooks locked in his study. Colin looks for answers there–in fragments about disaster scenarios\, the violence of snow\, mustangs running wild in the west–but instead finds the writing infecting his worldview. Diane\, meanwhile\, has a miserable fling with a co-worker\, and leans more heavily on Colin for support as things go from bad to worse. But spring is unfolding\, and a road trip to Los Angeles gives them a tantalizing glimpse of what the future might hold. In Some Hell\, a debut novel of devastating intensity and aching\, pointillistic detail\, Patrick Nathan shows how unspeakable tragedy shapes a life\, and how imagination saves us from ourselves.

SUMMARY:Mallory Ortberg
DESCRIPTION:Pre-order The Merry Spinster from Moe’s at http://www.moesbooks.com/the-merry-spinster-mallory-ortberg/ \nFrom Mallory Ortberg comes a collection of darkly mischievous stories based on classic fairy tales. Adapted from their beloved “Children’s Stories Made Horrific” series\, The Merry Spinster\, takes up the trademark wit that endeared Ortberg to readers of both The Toast and their best-selling debut Texts From Jane Eyre. The feature became among the most popular on the site\, with each entry bringing in tens of thousands of views\, as the stories proved a perfect vehicle for Ortberg’s eye for deconstruction and destabilization. \nSinister and inviting\, familiar and alien all at the same time\, THE MERRY SPINSTER updates traditional children’s stories and fairy tales with elements of psychological horror\, emotional clarity\, and a keen sense of feminist mischief. Unfalteringly faithful to its beloved source material\, The Merry Spinster also illuminates the unsuspected\, and frequently\, alarming emotional complexities at play in the stories we tell ourselves\, and each other\, as we tuck\nourselves in for the night. \nMallory Ortberg is Slate’s “Dear Prudence”. Ortberg has written for Gawker\, New York Magazine\, The Hairpin\, and The Atlantic and is the co-creator of The Toast\, a general-interest website geared toward women. Ortberg lives in the Bay Area with their laptop and their cat.

Her writing has broken ground and broken silences on topics as wide-ranging as miscarriage\, motherhood\, breast cancer\, princess culture and the importance of girls’ sexual pleasure. Her unique blend of investigative reporting\, personal revelation and unexpected humor has made her books bestselling classics. \nIn Don’t Call Me Princess\, Orenstein’s most resonant and important essays are available for the first time in collected form\, updated with both an original introduction and personal reflections on each piece. Her takes on reproductive justice\, the infertility industry\, tensions between working and stay-at-home moms\, pink ribbon fear-mongering and the complications of girl culture are not merely timeless–they have\, like Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale\, become more urgent in our contemporary political climate. \nDon’t Call Me Princess offers a crucial evaluation of where we stand today as women–in our work lives\, sex lives\, as mothers\, as partners–illuminating both how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go. \nA contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine\, Peggy Orenstein has been published in USA Today\, Parenting\, Salon\, the New Yorker\, and other publications\, and has contributed commentary to NPR’s All Things Considered. She lives in the Bay Area with her husband and daughter.

SUMMARY:Nicole Georges presents her graphic memoir FETCH\, with special guest Gemma Correll
DESCRIPTION:Lambda award-winner Nicole Georges presents and signs her graphic memoir FETCH. With special guest cartoonist and illustrator\, Gemma Correll. \nPugs and pups of all kinds welcome! \n  \nAbout FETCH \nWhen Nicole Georges was sixteen she adopted Beija\, a dysfunctional shar-pei/corgi mix—a troublesome combination of tiny and attack\, just like teenaged Nicole herself. For the next fifteen years\, Beija would be the one constant in her life. Through depression\, relationships gone awry\, and an unmoored young adulthood played out against the backdrop of the Portland punk scene\, Beija was there\, wearing her “Don’t Pet Me” bandana. \nGeorges’s gorgeous graphic novel Fetch chronicles their symbiotic\, codependent relationship and probes what it means to care for and be responsible to another living thing—a living thing that occasionally lunges at toddlers. Nicole turns to vets\, dog whisperers\, and even a pet psychic for help\, but it is the moments of accommodation\, adaption\, and compassion that sustain them. Nicole never successfully taught Beija “sit\,” but in the end\, Beija taught Nicole how to stay. \nNicole J. Georges is a professor\, writer\, and illustrator\, who has been publishing her own zines and comics for twenty years. She is the author of the Lambda Award-winning graphic memoir Calling Dr. Laura and the diary comic Invincible Summer. She lives in Portland\, Oregon. \n  \nGemma Correll is a young English illustrator\, cartoonist\, and generally quite small person. She and her trusty pug sidekicks\, Bella and Mr. Norman Pickles\, recently left the land of their births for a new life in the very large country of America. Wish them luck! \n

SUMMARY:Mallory Ortberg reads from The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror
DESCRIPTION:Mallory Ortberg\, co-creator of The Toast\, reads from her new book\, The Merry Spinster: Tales of Everyday Horror. A collection of darkly playful stories based on classic folk and fairy tales (but with a feminist spin) that find the sinister in the familiar and the familiar in the alien–from the author of Texts From Jane Eyre. \n      \nAbout the Book \nFrom Mallory Ortberg comes a collection of darkly mischievous stories based on classic fairy tales. Adapted from her beloved “Children’s Stories Made Horrific” series\, “The Merry Spinster” takes up the trademark wit that endeared Ortberg to readers of both The Toast and her best-selling debut Texts From Jane Eyre. The feature has become among the most popular on the site\, with each entry bringing in tens of thousands of views\, as the stories proved a perfect vehicle for Ortberg’s eye for deconstruction and destabilization. Sinister and inviting\, familiar and alien all at the same time\, The Merry Spinster updates traditional children’s stories and fairy tales with elements of psychological horror\, emotional clarity\, and a keen sense of feminist mischief. \nReaders of The Toast will instantly recognize Ortberg’s boisterous good humor and uber-nerd swagger: those new to Ortberg’s oeuvre will delight in her unique spin on fiction\, where something a bit mischievous and unsettling is always at work just beneath the surface. \nUnfalteringly faithful to its beloved source material\, The Merry Spinster also illuminates the unsuspected\, and frequently\, alarming emotional complexities at play in the stories we tell ourselves\, and each other\, as we tuck ourselves in for the night. \nBed time will never be the same. \nMallory Ortberg is the co-creator of the Toast and the author of the New York Times Bestseller Texts From Jane Eyre.

SUMMARY:Michael David Lukas: The Last Watchman of Old Cairo
DESCRIPTION:Michael David Lukas reads from The Last Watchman of Old Cairo — the spellbinding new novel from the author of the internationally bestselling\, The Oracle of Stamboul. \n  \nABOUT THE LAST WATCHMAN OF OLD CAIRO \nIn this spellbinding novel\, a young man journeys from California to Cairo to unravel centuries-old family secrets. \nJoseph\, a literature student at Berkeley\, is the son of a Jewish mother and a Muslim father. One day\, a mysterious package arrives on his doorstep\, pulling him into a mesmerizing adventure to uncover the tangled history that binds the two sides of his family. For generations\, the men of the al-Raqb family have served as watchmen of the storied Ibn Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo\, built at the site where the infant Moses was taken from the Nile. Joseph learns of his ancestor Ali\, a Muslim orphan who nearly a thousand years earlier was entrusted as the first watchman of the synagogue and became enchanted by its legendary—perhaps magical—Ezra Scroll. The story of Joseph’s family is entwined with that of the British twin sisters Agnes and Margaret\, who in 1897 depart their hallowed Cambridge halls on a mission to rescue sacred texts that have begun to disappear from the synagogue. \nThe Last Watchman of Old Cairo is a moving page-turner of a novel from acclaimed storyteller Michael David Lukas. This tightly woven multigenerational tale illuminates the tensions that have torn communities apart and the unlikely forces—potent magic\, forbidden love—that boldly attempt to bridge that divide. \nAdvance praise for The Last Watchman of Old Cairo \n“A beautiful\, richly textured novel\, ambitious and delicately crafted\, The Last Watchman of Old Cairo is both a coming-of-age story and a family history\, a wide-ranging book about fathers and sons\, religion\, magic\, love\, and the essence of storytelling. This book is a joy.”—Rabih Alameddine\, author of the National Book Award finalist An Unnecessary Woman \n“Michael David Lukas has given us an elegiac novel of Cairo—Old Cairo and modern Cairo—with a bit of Berkeley thrown in. His prose is deeply evocative\, and a sense of mystery and profound tristesse pervade this unusual narrative\, which tells the story of a young California man on a quest to understand a puzzling gift left for him by his late father\, the descendant of generations of watchmen at the venerable Ben Ezra synagogue in the depths of Old Cairo. The novel is enhanced by Lukas’ impressive historical research on the Geniza and the colorful characters involved in rescuing its treasure trove of documents. But his greatest flair is in capturing the essence of that beautiful\, haunted\, shabby\, beleaguered\, yet still utterly sublime Middle Eastern city.”—Lucette Lagnado\, author of The Man in the White Sharkskin Suit and The Arrogant Years \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nMichael David Lukas is the author of the internationally bestselling novel The Oracle of Stamboul\, which was a finalist for the California Book Award\, the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association Book of the Year Award\, and the Harold U. Ribalow Prize and has been published in fifteen languages. He has been a Fulbright Scholar in Turkey\, a student at the American University of Cairo\, and a night-shift proofreader in Tel Aviv. A graduate of Brown University\, he has received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts\, and his writing has appeared in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. He works in the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at UC Berkeley and lives in Oakland\, California.

SUMMARY:The Afternoon Series Welcomes Brynn Saito on "Intimate Ecologies: Crisis\, Community\, and the Poem"
DESCRIPTION:Intimate Ecologies: Crisis\, Community\, and the Poem  \nThis talk will inquire into the limits\, complexities\, and possibilities of community-based poetry and poetics in this moment of social and economic precarity. Drawing on recent work with the Yonsei Memory Project—an arts-based initiative surfacing connections between the WWII incarceration of Japanese Americans and current civil liberties debates—we’ll explore a number of threads\, questions: What is the role of poem-making and poem-speaking in maintaining communal memory? What are the implications of considering the poet as diagnoser\, preserver\, creator\, or disrupter within a particular collective? Considering “community” as one form of public intimacy/assembly\, we’ll ask: can the poem\, too\, enact a coalitional space and way of loving? We’ll move through a variety of fields (zen buddhism; critical theory) and conjure writings by Judy Grahn\, June Jordan\, Gloria Anzaldúa and others in order to trace these lines of inquiry. \n\nBrynn Saito is the author of two books of poetry\, Power Made Us Swoon and The Palace of Contemplating Departure. Brynn is the recipient of a Kundiman Asian American Poetry Fellowship and a California State Library Civil Liberties grant. Saito is the 2018 Distinguished Visiting Writer in Poetry in the MFA in Creative Writing program.
