SUMMARY:Fiction Seminar with Lysley Tenorio and Anthony Doerr: SCENE-STEALING: Scenes by Contemporary Masters and What To Take From Them
DESCRIPTION:Register for a cocktail hour literary seminar with SMC MFA fiction Professor Lysley Tenorio with guest author Anthony Doerr\nYou know the saying: good artists borrow\, great artists steal. In this class\, we’ll aim for greatness\, examining the ways contemporary fiction writers render scenes in their work. How do they use this building block of narrative to generate drama and suspense\, and to develop both external and internal conflict in their fiction? How do they use dialogue\, internal monologue\, and action to develop character\, in order to give readers an immersive emotional experience? By studying the strategies used by these celebrated authors\, we’ll learn to use their techniques for our own work. \nOne of the writers we’ll read is Anthony Doerr\, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the New York Times bestseller\, All The Light We Cannot See. Doerr will make a special virtual visit to our class to offer advice on writing scenes. To celebrate this incredible opportunity\, the class will include a signature cocktail\, which you can prepare during the class break and enjoy during his visit.  The cocktail recipe (with a non-alcoholic\, mocktail option) will be sent to students in advance. \nThis three-hour class includes close readings and discussion\, in-class writing and sharing\, and an author visit.  Recommended (but not required) readings will be sent to students one week before the class. \nLysley Tenorio is the author of the novel The Son of Good Fortune\, and the story collection Monstress. He is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship\, a Whiting Award\, the New American Voices Award\, a Stegner fellowship\, and the Rome Prize.  His stories have appeared in  the Atlantic\, Zoetrope: All-Story\, and Ploughshares\, and have been adapted for the stage in San Francisco and New York City.  A finalist for the Joyce Carol Oates Prize\, he will be a 2021-22 Radcliffe Fellow at Harvard University.  He is a professor at Saint Mary’s College of California. \nAnthony Doerr is the author of All the Light We Cannot See\, winner of the Pulitzer Prize\, the Carnegie Medal\, the Alex Award\, and a #1 New York Times bestseller. He is also the author of the story collections Memory Wall and The Shell Collector\, the novel About Grace\, and the memoir Four Seasons in Rome. He has won five O. Henry Prizes\, the Rome Prize\, the New York Public Library’s Young Lions Award\, the National Magazine Award for fiction\, a Guggenheim Fellowship\, and the Story Prize. Born and raised in Cleveland\, Ohio\, Doerr lives in Boise\, Idaho\, with his wife and two sons.  His new novel\, Cloud Cuckoo Land\, will be published in the fall of 2021. \nFunds raised from this seminar will go to support scholarships for BIPOC/Global Majority students and LGBTQ!+ students in the MFA in Creative Writing program

SUMMARY:Berkeley Arts & Letters presents Mary Roach with Zach Weinersmith / Launch for Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith and Berkeley Arts & Letters are thrilled to host the virtual launch for the inimitable Mary Roach and her new book Fuzz: When Nature Breaks the Law. She’ll be in conversation with Zach Weinersmith\, creator of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal and author of the NYT bestselling popular science book\, Soonish. \nPlease note: \n\nThis is a ticketed event. Each ticket includes admission to the event\, a **signed** hardcover copy of the book and complimentary postage anywhere in the US.\nEvent link will be sent to everyone who registers.\nIf you have any questions at all\, don’t hesitate to contact us: events@booksmith.com.\nYou can order additional copies of Fuzz here; Mary’s other books here.\nOrder copies of Soonish here.\n\n\nAbout the book\nJoin “America’s funniest science writer” (Peter Carlson\, Washington Post)\, Mary Roach\, on an irresistible investigation into the unpredictable world where wildlife and humans meet. \nWhat’s to be done about a jaywalking moose? A bear caught breaking and entering? A murderous tree? Three hundred years ago\, animals that broke the law would be assigned legal representation and put on trial. These days\, as New York Times best-selling author Mary Roach discovers\, the answers are best found not in jurisprudence but in science: the curious science of human-wildlife conflict\, a discipline at the crossroads of human behavior and wildlife biology. \nRoach tags along with animal-attack forensics investigators\, human-elephant conflict specialists\, bear managers\, and “danger tree” faller blasters. Intrepid as ever\, she travels from leopard-terrorized hamlets in the Indian Himalaya to St. Peter’s Square in the early hours before the pope arrives for Easter Mass\, when vandal gulls swoop in to destroy the elaborate floral display. She taste-tests rat bait\, learns how to install a vulture effigy\, and gets mugged by a macaque. \nCombining little-known forensic science and conservation genetics with a motley cast of laser scarecrows\, langur impersonators\, and trespassing squirrels\, Roach reveals as much about humanity as about nature’s lawbreakers. When it comes to “problem” wildlife\, she finds\, humans are more often the problem—and the solution. Fascinating\, witty\, and humane\, Fuzz offers hope for compassionate coexistence in our ever-expanding human habitat. \nAbout the authors\nMary Roach is the author of six best-selling works of nonfiction\, including Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers\, Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal\, and\, most recently\, Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War. Her writing has appeared in Outside\, National Geographic\, and the New York Times Magazine\, among other publications. \nZach Weinersmith is the creator of the popular webcomic SMBC\, the creator of the nerd comedy show BAHFest\, and the co-author of the New York Times bestselling popular science book\, Soonish. \nPlease note: This is a ticketed\, all-ages event. Each ticket includes a copy of Fuzz – no exceptions. If you already have a copy\, remember that books make great gifts! If you’ve already gifted this title to all of your friends\, please write events@booksmith.com and we’ll work things out.

SUMMARY:Berkeley Arts & Letters presents Martin Ford / Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith and Berkeley Arts & Letters are thrilled to host Martin Ford for his new book Rule of the Robots: How Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Everything. More to be announced – save the date and join us! \nPlease note: \n\nThis event is free and all ages\, but registration is required.\nYou can order copies of Rule of the Robots here; Martin’s other books here.\nEvent link will be sent to everyone who registers.\nIf you have any questions at all\, don’t hesitate to contact us: events@booksmith.com.\n\nAbout the book\nImagine it’s 2030. You call a bank to discuss your loan application\, but you don’t get to talk to a person. The bank’s AI has spoken: you are denied. At home\, feeling stressed\, you take pills both invented and prescribed by AI to keep your blood pressure in check. You stream a video starring “actors” generated by machine. And before you turn in\, you wonder if collaboration between Big Tech and China means you should choose a new AI provider for your home. \nAs Martin Ford shows in Rule of the Robots\, AI will soon flow through our lives like electricity does today\, remaking every sphere of human activity. Yet even as Ford maps out AI’s disquieting future\, he shows how we can prepare for it\, advocating for policies such as universal basic income and educational reform. It’s crucial that we take his words to heart. \nAbout the author\nMartin Ford is a futurist and the author of New York Times bestseller Rise of the Robots\, a prescient look at AI and work. It won the Financial Times Business Book of the Year Award. His TED Talk on the impact of artificial intelligence on society has been viewed over 3 million times. Author photo by Xiaoxiao Zhao. \nPlease note: \n\nThis event is free and all ages\, but registration is required.\nYou can order copies of Rule of the Robots here; Martin’s other books here.\nEvent link will be sent to everyone who registers.\nIf you have any questions at all\, don’t hesitate to contact us: events@booksmith.com.\n\n

SUMMARY:Book Release: Second Edition of Black Steel Magnolias in the Hour of Chaos Theory by James Cagney

SUMMARY:An Afternoon Craft Conversation with Jamil Jan Kochai
DESCRIPTION:DATE & TIME:\nWednesday\, September 29\, 2021 – 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOCATION:\nDe La Salle Hall: Hagerty Lounge\, De La Salle Hall: Hagerty Lounge\, 1928 St. Marys Road\, Moraga\, CA 94575\, 1928 St. Marys Road\, Moraga\, CA 94575\nView a map and get directions.\n\n\n\n\nDESCRIPTION:\nThe novelist Thomas Berger once suggested that the sentence was “the cell beyond which the life of the book cannot be traced\, a novel being a structure of such cells.” Continuing this line of thought\, one might argue that a great novel is built upon great sentences. In this craft talk\, we will be thinking through the techniques and theories discussed in Brooks Landon’s Building Great Sentences in order to determine what elements make a great sentence\, and how particular sentences are fashioned by writers like Patrick Chamoiseau\, Sandra Cisneros\, and Annie Proulx.\n\n\nJamil Jan Kochai is the author of 99 Nights in Logar (Viking\, 2019)\, a finalist for the Pen/Hemingway Award for Debut Novel and the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature. \n  \n\n\n\n\nADD TO CALENDAR

SUMMARY:Berkeley Arts & Letters presents Saul Griffith with Laura Fraser / Launch for Electrify: An Optimist's Playbook for Our Clean Energy Future
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith and Berkeley Arts & Letters are thrilled to present the launch for Saul Griffith and his book Electrify: An Optimist’s Playbook for Our Clean Energy Future. He’ll be in conversation with Laura Fraser (An Italian Affair). \nThis event is free and all ages\, but RSVP is required. Event link will be sent to everyone who registers. \nYou can order Electrify here and we’ll ship it directly to you (or hold for pickup at our San Francisco shop). \nWe are happy to fulfill orders anywhere in the world – international postage will be invoiced separately. If you have any questions at all\, don’t hesitate to contact events@booksmith.com. \nAbout the book\nAn optimistic—but realistic and feasible—action plan for fighting climate change while creating new jobs and a healthier environment: electrify everything. \nClimate change is a planetary emergency. We have to do something now—but what? Saul Griffith has a plan. In Electrify\, Griffith lays out a detailed blueprint—optimistic but feasible—for fighting climate change while creating millions of new jobs and a healthier environment. Griffith’s plan can be summed up simply: electrify everything. He explains exactly what it would take to transform our infrastructure\, update our grid\, and adapt our households to make this possible. Billionaires may contemplate escaping our worn-out planet on a private rocket ship to Mars\, but the rest of us\, Griffith says\, will stay and fight for the future. \nGriffith\, an engineer and inventor\, calls for grid neutrality\, ensuring that households\, businesses\, and utilities operate as equals; we will have to rewrite regulations that were created for a fossil-fueled world\, mobilize industry as we did in World War II\, and offer low-interest “climate loans.” Griffith’s plan doesn’t rely on big\, not-yet-invented innovations\, but on thousands of little inventions and cost reductions. We can still have our cars and our houses—but the cars will be electric and solar panels will cover our roofs. For a world trying to bounce back from a pandemic and economic crisis\, there is no other project that would create as many jobs—up to 25 million\, according to one economic analysis. Is this politically possible? We can change politics along with everything else. \nAbout the authors\nSaul Griffith\, inventor\, entrepreneur\, and engineer\, is founder of Rewiring America\, a nonprofit dedicated to decarbonizing America by electrifying everything\, and founder and chief scientist at Otherlab. He was a recipient of a MacArthur “genius grant” in 2007. \nLaura Fraser is a journalist and author of three books of nonfiction\, including the NYT-bestselling memoir\, An Italian Affair. As founder and editorial director of Shebooks\, she published 75 short ebooks by women before selling the company to Shewrites Press. She lives around the corner from the Booksmith and launched all three of her books here. She’s also interviewed several authors for the Booksmith. Lately\, she has been collaborating with Saul Griffith and Rewiring America\, the organization he founded. So while she is not objective about the material in Saul’s new book\, she is well-acquainted with it. \nThis event is free and all ages\, but RSVP is required.

Building upon the pioneering ideas of Sigmund and Anna Freud\, we will explore how the Post-Freudian thinkers of the late twentieth and early twenty-first century can help writers render splintered selves\, fluid identities\, formative relationships\, traumas\, ecstasies and critical experiences like birth\, sex\, violence\, parenthood and death. \nChris Feliciano Arnold is the author of The Third Bank of the River: Power and Survival in the Twenty-First Century Amazon. He has written essays and journalism for The Atlantic\, Harper’s\, Outside\, Vice News\, The New York Times and more.

SUMMARY:Nikki Giovanni: Make Me Rain
DESCRIPTION:Presented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM with Marcus Books \nHosted by Nina Serrano \nNikki Giovanni’s poetry has inspired\, enlightened\, and captivated generations of readers. She is cherished by the nation and revered in the African-American community as a potent and affirming siren of culture\, tradition\, and the issues of our time. In MAKE ME RAIN Giovanni is as sharp and outspoken as ever\, bringing profound and timely poems that call attention to injustice and give readers an unfiltered look into the more guarded regions of her heart. \nIn MAKE ME RAIN Giovanni celebrates her loved ones and unapologetically declares her pride in her Black heritage\, while exploring the enduring impact of the twin sins of racism and white nationalism. With this compendium she reaffirms her place as a uniquely vibrant and relevant American voice with poems such as\, “I Come from Athletes\,” and “Rainy Days\,” which call out segregation and Donald Trump; “Unloved (for Aunt Cleota)\,” and “When I Could No Longer\,” a personal elegy for the relatives who saved her from an abusive childhood home. \nThe poet recently trended on Twitter after thousands logged on to hear her chat virtually with activist Angela Davis.  From the records she released in the 1970’s\, to her devout tribute of a “thug life” tattoo to honor rapper Tupac Shakur\, Giovanni is recognized by younger generations for her insight\, connectedness\, and the comforting familiarity of her voice.  She is the admired elder stateswoman of African American letters\, and final representative of an extraordinary cohort that once included her dear friends\, writers Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison. \nWith MAKE ME RAIN\, a beloved American poet challenges us with a powerful and deeply personal collection of verse that speaks to the injustices of society while illuminating the depths of her own heart. Stirring\, provocative\, and poignant\, these poems pierce the heart and nourish the soul. \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/nikki-giovanni-make-me-rain-tickets-170040590985

SUMMARY:Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz with Steve Wasserman: Not a Nation of Immigrants
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents \nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz with Steve Wasserman: A KPFA Zoom Event \nNot a Nation of Immigrants: Settler Colonialism\, White Supremacy\, and a History of Erasure and Exclusion \n“Her thought-work and writing are both full-force with courage and wisdom. In the age of telling truth\, she says\, the US has yet to correct its narrative to acknowledge its settler-colonialist and imperialist past and present. This book should be taught in classrooms; readers will finish it changed.” \n-Booklist\, Starred Review \n“Dunbar-Ortiz’s message is clear: uplifting narratives about the United States as a ‘nation of immigrants’ allow the country to hide from its history of colonialism\, genocide\, slavery\, and racism . . . . [T]his thought-provoking account will prove insightful for all.” \n-Library Journal \nMany Americans will say proudly that we are a nation of immigrants. In this bold new book\, acclaimed historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz asserts that this self-congratulatory myth is harmful because it masks the US’s history of settler colonialism\, genocide\, white supremacy\, slavery\, and structural inequality\, all of which we still grapple with today. This myth\, she claims\, is a convenient response by the ruling class to the demands for decolonialization\, reparations\, and social justice. This paradigm-shifting new work from the author of An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States insists that we need to stop perpetuating this simplistic and inaccurate ideal and embrace the real history of the United States. \nRoxanne Dunbar-Ortiz grew up in rural Oklahoma\, the daughter of a tenant farmer. Dunbar-Ortiz has been active in the international Indigenous movement for more than four decades. She is the author of eight books. \nSteve Wasserman is currently publisher of the award-winning Heyday Books. \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \n  \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/roxanne-dunbar-ortiz-not-a-nation-of-immigrants-tickets-170048201749
