SUMMARY:LYNDSAY FAYE at Books Inc. in Alameda
DESCRIPTION:Lyndsay Faye\, author of Edgar-nominated Jane Steele and Gods of Gotham\, will discuss her exciting new historical thriller\, The Paragon Hotel\, which follows Alice “Nobody” from Prohibition-era Harlem to Portland’s the Paragon Hotel. \nThe year is 1921\, and “Nobody” Alice James is on a cross-country train\, carrying a bullet wound and fleeing for her life following an illicit drug and liquor deal gone horribly wrong. Desperate to get as far away as possible from New York City and those who want her dead\, she has her sights set on Oregon: a distant frontier that seems the end of the line. \nShe befriends Max\, a black Pullman porter who reminds her achingly of Harlem\, who leads Alice to the Paragon Hotel upon arrival in Portland. Her unlikely sanctuary turns out to be the only all-black hotel in the city\, and its lodgers seem unduly terrified of a white woman on the premises. But as she meets the churlish Dr. Pendleton\, the stately Mavereen\, and the unforgettable club chanteuse Blossom Fontaine\, she begins to understand the reason for their dread. The Ku Klux Klan has arrived in Portland in fearful numbers—burning crosses\, inciting violence\, electing officials\, and brutalizing blacks. And only Alice\, along with her new “family” of Paragon residents\, are willing to search for a missing mulatto child who has mysteriously vanished into the Oregon woods. \nWhy was “Nobody” Alice James forced to escape Harlem? Why do the Paragon’s denizens live in fear—and what other sins are they hiding? Where did the orphaned child who went missing from the hotel\, Davy Lee\, come from in the first place? And\, perhaps most important\, why does Blossom Fontaine seem to be at the very center of this tangled web? \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nWednesday\, January 16\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc. in Alameda\n1344 Park St\n\nAlameda\, CA 94501

SUMMARY:MATT COYLE with TERRY SHAMES at Books Inc. Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Joining Books Inc. in Berkeley for an evening of thrills and chills with award-winning mystery writer Matt Coyle sharing his intriguing new novel\, Wrong Light: Rick Cahill #5. Matt will be in conversation with Mystery Writers of America member Terry Shames\, author of the charming Samuel Craddock mystery series. \n\nAbout Wrong Light: Perfect for hard-boiled PI and Noir fans who like a tainted hero living by his own code.\n\nNaomi Hendrix’s sexy voice hovering over the radio waves isn’t the only thing haunting the Southern California nights. A demented soul is stalking Naomi\, hiding in the shadows of the night\, waiting for the right moment to snatch her and fulfill a twisted fantasy.\nWhen Naomi’s radio station hires PI Rick Cahill to protect Naomi and track down the stalker\, he discovers that Naomi is hiding secrets about her past that could help unmask the man. However\, before Rick can extract the truth from Naomi\, he is thrust into a missing person’s case–an abduction he may have unwittingly caused. The investigating detective questions Rick’s motives for getting involved and pressures him to stop meddling.\nWhile Rick pursues Naomi’s stalker and battles the police\, evil ricochets from his own past and embroils Rick in a race to find the truth about an old nemesis. Is settling the score worth losing everything?\n\n\nAbout An Unsettling Crime for Samuel Craddock: When the Jarrett Creek Fire Department is called to douse a blaze on the outskirts of town\, they discover a grisly scene: five black young people have been murdered. Newly elected Chief of Police Samuel Craddock\, just back from a stint in the Air Force\, finds himself an outsider in the investigation headed by the Texas Highway Patrol. He takes an immediate dislike to John Sutherland\, a racist trooper \nCraddock’s fears are realized when Sutherland arrests Truly Bennett\, a young black man whom Craddock knows and respects. Sutherland cites dubious evidence that points to Bennett\, and Craddock uncovers facts leading in another direction. When Sutherland refuses to relent\, Craddock is faced with a choice that will define him as a lawman–either let the highway patrol have its way\, or take on a separate investigation himself. \nAlthough his choice to investigate puts both Craddock and his family in danger\, he perseveres. In the process\, he learns something about himself and the limits of law enforcement in Jarrett Creek. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nWednesday\, January 16\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc.\n1491 Shattuck Ave\n\nBerkeley\, CA

SUMMARY:Book Launch with TONY PLATT at Books Inc. Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Tony Platt\, Distinguished Affiliated Scholar at the Center for the Study of Law & Society\, UC Berkeley\, discusses his groundbreaking new work\, Beyond These Walls: Rethinking Crime and Punishment in the United States. \nBeyond These Walls is an ambitious and far-ranging exploration that tracks the legacy of crime and imprisonment in the United States\, from the historical roots of the American criminal justice system to our modern state of over-incarceration\, and offers a bold vision for a new future. Author Tony Platt\, a recognized authority in the field of criminal justice\, challenges the way we think about how and why millions of people are tracked\, arrested\, incarcerated\, catalogued\, and regulated in the United States. \nBeyond These Walls traces the disturbing history of punishment and social control\, revealing how the criminal justice system attempts to enforce and justify inequalities associated with class\, race\, gender\, and sexuality. Prisons and police departments are central to this process\, but other institutions – from immigration and welfare to educational and public health agencies – are equally complicit. \nPlatt argues that international and national politics shape perceptions of danger and determine the policies of local criminal justice agencies\, while private policing and global corporations are deeply and undemocratically involved in the business of homeland security. \nFinally\, Beyond These Walls demonstrates why efforts to reform criminal justice agencies have often expanded rather than contracted the net of social control. Drawing upon a long tradition of popular resistance\, Platt concludes with a strategic vision of what it will take to achieve justice for all in this era of authoritarian disorder. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nThursday\, January 17\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc.\n1491 Shattuck Ave\n\nBerkeley\, CA

We love John Berger here at Wolfman and we couldn’t be more excited about this book!

You don’t want to miss this! \nJoshua Sperling was born in New York City and grew up in California. His writing has appeared in the Brooklyn Rail\, Guernica\, Film Quarterly\, Jump Cut and Bullett Magazine\, among other publications. He received a PhD in Comparative Literature\, Film and Media from Yale University and currently teaches at Oberlin College. \nZoé Samudzi is a Sociology doctoral student at the University of California-San Francisco\, and writer and photographer.

SUMMARY:Tessa Hadley
DESCRIPTION:Tessa Hadley\n\n\n\n\nreturns to Mrs. Dalloway’s to read from her new novel\, Late in the Day. \n“Perceptive\, finely wrought….Hadley is a writer of the first order\, and this novel gives her the opportunity to explore\, with profound incisiveness and depth\, the inevitable changes inherent to long-lasting marriages.”– Publishers Weekly \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Late in the Day by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, January 22\, 2019 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nThe lives of two close-knit couples are irrevocably changed by an untimely death in this latest from Hadley. Alexandr and Christine and Zachary and Lydia have been friends since they first met in their twenties. Thirty years later\, Alex and Christine are spending a leisurely summer’s evening at home when they receive a call from a distraught Lydia: she is at the hospital. Zach is dead. \nIn the wake of this profound loss\, the three friends find themselves unmoored; all agree that Zach\, with his generous\, grounded spirit\, was the irreplaceable one they couldn’t afford to lose. Inconsolable\, Lydia moves in with Alex and Christine. But instead of loss bringing them closer\, the three of them find over the following months that it warps their relationships\, as old entanglements and grievances rise from the past\, and love and sorrow give way to anger and bitterness. \nLate in the Day explores the complex webs at the center of our most intimate relationships\, to expose how\, beneath the seemingly dependable arrangements we make for our lives\, lie infinite alternate configurations. Ingeniously moving between past and present and through the intricacies of her characters’ thoughts and interactions\, Tessa Hadley once again “crystallizes the atmosphere of ordinary life in prose somehow miraculous and natural.” (Washington Post) \nTessa Hadley is the author of five highly praised novels: Accidents in the Home\, Everything Will Be All Right; The Master Bedroom; The London Train\, and Clever Girl\, and two short story collections\, Sunstroke and Married Love. Her stories appear regularly in The New Yorker. She lives in London. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: The Art of Relevance
DESCRIPTION:How can you re-ignite your community and create greater participation? \nJoin us for an informal discussion of Nina Simon’s recent book\, The Art of Relevance\, followed by the chance to chat and network with people who work in museums\, zoos\, aquariums\, parks\, historical organizations\, and nature centers. \nNina Simon has been described as a “museum visionary” by Smithsonian Magazine for her audience-centered approach to design. “Whether you work in museums or libraries\, parks or theaters\, churches or afterschool programs\, relevance can work for you. Relevance is not something an institution can assign by fiat. Your work matters when it matters to people—when THEY deem it relevant\, not you. The Art of Relevance will help you identify the people you seek to engage\, empathize with their concerns and interests\, and develop authentic ways to invite them into your work on their own terms.” (From www.artofrelevance.org). \nYou can read the book for free online. \nThis free event is open to the public\, but will be of special interest to professionals and aspiring professionals from museums and related fields. You do not have to have read the book to come to the discussion! \nCo-hosted by Cultural Connections\, a community of Bay Area museum professionals who meet regularly to exchange ideas\, share resources\, and inspire creativity and action. We value diversity\, pushing boundaries\, being responsive\, and professional development. To learn more\, please visit our website.

SUMMARY:Dahr Jamail & Antonia Juhasz: Is Our Earth in Hospice Mode?
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents \nIS OUR EARTH IN HOSPICE MODE? \nDAHR JAMAIL + ANTONIA JUHASZ\nThe End of Ice: Bearing Witness and Finding Meaning in the Path of Climate Disruption \nT: 800-838-3006 or Pegasus Books (3 sites)\, Books Inc (Berkeley)\, Moe’s\, Walden Pond Bookstore\, East Bay Books\, Mrs. Dalloway’s $15 door\, benefits KPFA Radio 94.1FM info: kpfa.org/events \nDahr Jamail has journeyed along many of the geographical front lines of our environmental crisis\, from Alaska to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef to the Amazon rain forest\, to discover the consequences of the loss of ice to nature and to humans. The End of Ice is the firsthand chronicle of his travels\, during which he scaled Denali\, the highest peak in North America\, swam in warm crystal waters around Pacific coral reefs\, explored the tundra of St. Paul Island and spoke with some of the last subsistence seal-hunters of the Bering Sea. Accompanied by climate scientists and people whose families for centuries have fished and farmed in the various places he visits\, Dahr begins to accept the dark fact that earth is almost certainly in a hospice situation. Ironically\, this renews his passion for the planet’s wild places\, cherishing the earth in an entirely new way. Like no other book\, The End of Ice offers a true narrative that includes photographs throughout by Dahr of his journey across the world\, of the catastrophic reality of our predicament\, and the incalculable necessity of relishing this vulnerable planet while it is still possible. \nAntonia Juhasz is a leading energy analyst\, author\, and investigative journalist specializing in oil. An award-winning writer\, her articles appear in Newsweek\, Rolling Stone\, Harper’s Magazine\, The Atlantic\, CNN.com\, The Nation\, Ms.\, The Advocate\, and many more.

SUMMARY:Tosh: Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World
DESCRIPTION:TOSH is a memoir of growing up as the son of an enigmatic\, much-admired\, hermetic\, and ruthlessly bohemian artist during the waning years of the Beat Generation and the heyday of hippie counterculture. A critical figure in the history of postwar American culture\, Tosh Berman’s father\, Wallace Berman\, was known as the “father of assemblage art\,” and was the creator of the legendary mail-art publication Semina. Wallace Berman and his wife\, famed beauty and artist’s muse Shirley Berman\, raised Tosh between Los Angeles and San Francisco\, and their home life was a heady atmosphere of art\, music\, and literature\, with local and international luminaries regularly passing through. \nTosh Berman is a writer\, poet\, and publisher of TamTam Books. As a publisher\, he focused on post-war French figures such as Boris Vian\, Guy Debord\, Serge Gainsbourg and French gangster Jacques Mesrine\, as well as publishing Sparks (Ron Mael & Russell Mael) and Lun*na Menoh. His previous book Sparks-Tastic (2013) is a combination of travel journal and thoughts on the band Sparks. His book of poems The Plum in Mr. Blum’s Pudding (2014) came out through Penny-Ante Editions. He authored the introduction to Wallace Berman: American Aleph from the Michael Kohn Gallery in 2016.

SUMMARY:Elena Schneider & Caitlin Rosenthal - - The Occupation of Havana & Accounting for Slavery
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS welcomes Elena Schneider and Caitlin Rosenthal to discuss their new new books The Occupation of Havana and Accounting for Slavery\, on Friday\, February 1st at 7pm. \nThe Occupation of Havana offers a nuanced and poignantly human account of the British capture and Spanish recovery of this coveted Caribbean city. The book explores both the interconnected histories of the British and Spanish empires and the crucial role played by free people of color and the enslaved in the creation and defense of Havana. Tragically\, these men and women would watch their promise of freedom and greater rights vanish in the face of massive slave importation and increased sugar production upon Cuba’s return to Spanish rule. By linking imperial negotiations with events in Cuba and their consequences\, Elena Schneider sheds new light on the relationship between slavery and empire at the dawn of the Age of Revolutions. \nAccounting for Slavery is a unique contribution to the decades-long effort to understand New World slavery’s complex relationship with capitalism. Through careful analysis of plantation records\, Caitlin Rosenthal explores the development of quantitative management practices on West Indian and Southern plantations. She shows how planter-capitalists built sophisticated organizational structures and even practiced an early form of scientific management. They subjected enslaved people to experiments\, such as allocating and reallocating labor from crop to crop\, planning meals and lodging\, and carefully recording daily productivity. The incentive strategies they crafted offered rewards but also threatened brutal punishment. \n  \n* * * \n  \nABOUT THE AUTHORS \nElena Schneider is a historian of Latin America and the Atlantic World. Her teaching focuses on Cuba and the Caribbean\, comparative colonialism and slavery\, and the Black Atlantic. Professor Schneider’s research explores the ways that war\, trade\, and slavery integrated the Atlantic world across regional and what would later become national boundaries. \nCaitlin Rosenthal is a historian of 18th and 19th century U.S. history. Her research focuses on the development of management practices\, especially those based on data analysis. She seeks to blend qualitative and quantitative methods and to combine insights from business history\, economic history\, and labor history. Before coming to Berkeley\, she was the Newcomen Postdoctoral Fellow at Harvard Business School\, and before that she worked as a consultant with McKinsey & Company. Her work is motivated by the hope that more complete histories of management can help us to explore deep political and ethical questions\, many of which continue to face modern businesspeople. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nFriday\, February 1\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618

SUMMARY:Left Margin LIT Reading at Novel Brewing in Oakland
DESCRIPTION:We’re partnering with Novel Brewing Company\, the most literary brewery in the East Bay\, to celebrate the sublime tandem of books and beer! \nLeft Margin instructors and friends Shanthi Sekaran\, Porter Shreve\, Faith Adiele\, David Roderick\, and Melanie Abrams will read from their work. We’ll also have a table there so you can learn more about our programs\, events\, classes\, and work space for writers. \nWe’ve already sampled Novel’s winter lineup of beers\, including BOOK THIEF IPA\, DUST JACKET IPA\, and THE POET\, which is super-sour (of course). Delicious doesn’t even begin to describe what happens on your palate when you order a whole flight. \nThere’s also a BOOK SWAP! You can bring in as many books as you like\, and the ones that don’t find a new home will go into Novel’s book stash earmarked for their Little Lending Library. The swap begins at 7:00 pm and the rules are: (1) add your book(s) to the cart with an index card that has your name\, and a bit of why the book is a great read. (2) What’s the best part? If someone takes your book home to read\, you get $1 off your next pint! \nCome one\, come all. It’s going to be an epic event.

SUMMARY:Robert B. Reich: The Common Good
DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1 FM presents \nRobert B. Reich\nThe Common Good \nHosted by Kathryn Horsley \nadvance tickets: $12: T: 800-838-3006 or independent bookstores\, $15 door\, benefits KPFA Radio 94.1FM info: kpfa.org/events \nFor decades one of the most farseeing\, outspoken public intellectuals in the United States has been Robert B. Reich. Now he provides us with The Common Good\, his sixteenth book\, a passionate\, clear-eyed manifesto urging the recentering of our national economics and politics on the profound idea of the common good. Responding to the prevailing uproar of divisiveness\, cynicism and blind self-interest\, Reich makes a powerful case for expanding America’s moral imagination. Rooting his argument in common sense and everyday reality\, he demonstrates that a common good not only exists\, but in fact is the very essence of any functional society or notion. Societies\, he asserts\, undergo varying virtuous cycles that reinforce the common good as well as vicious cycles that undermine It – one of which this country has been experiencing for the past five decades. This can and must be reversed. \nFirst we must weigh the moral obligations of citizenship and carefully consider how as a country we should relate to honor\, shame\, patriotism\, truth and the meaning of leadership.\nThis is a heartfelt statement from a major political thinker devoted to saving America’s soul. \nRobert B. Reich is Chancellor’s Professor of Public Policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California\, Berkeley. He has served in three national administrations and has written fifteen books\, including The Work of Nations\, Saving Capitalism and Locked In the Cabinet. His essays have appeared in The New Yorker\, The Atlantic\, The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and The Wall Street Journal. He is currently chair of the national governing board of Common Cause. \n$12 advance\, $15 door. \nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM.
