SUMMARY:Two Voices Salon: Slaymaker on Furukawa
DESCRIPTION:Hideo Furukawa has built a name for himself as one of the titans of contemporary Japanese literature. His book Horses\, Horses\, in the End the Light Remains Pure is a groundbreaking work of creative nonfiction that deeply entwines his own life and the disaster in Fukushima\, Japan\, as it was devastated by an earthquake\, tsunami\, and nuclear meltdown. \nTo better understand this powerful\, moving story\, we’ll talk with Doug Slaymaker\, who brought it from Japanese into English for Columbia University Press. We’ll talk about how he dealt with the various strands of fiction\, history\, and memoir in this book\, as well as touching on some authors whose work this book resembles\, including W.G. Sebald. We’ll also discuss the unique aspects of the Japanese language and culture that make this such and interesting book to translate. \nThis will be our last Salon until the fall\, so please do join us for a wonderful night of literature\, friends\, snacks\, and drinks.

SUMMARY:Brendan Jones: The Alaskan Laundry
DESCRIPTION:Brendan Jones reads from his debut novel\, The Alaskan Laundry. \nPraise for The Alaskan Laundry: \n\n“This is a truly towering debut novel. Brendan Jones charts new novelistic territory and sends back moving dispatches from the frontiers of the human heart.” — Adam Johnson\, author of The Orphan Master’s Son\n\n\n“The Alaskan Laundry is a gorgeous and powerful novel that succeeds both as a page-turning adventure story and an evocative exploration of the meaning of home. With acute psychological precision and a naturalist’s attention to detail\, Brendan Jones has created a hauntingly beautiful novel that will stay with me for a long time.” – Molly Antopol\, author of The Unamericans\n\n\n\n“The Alaskan Laundry is a novel of bracing air that gets deep into your lungs. As Tara Marconi reinvents herself in Alaska\, we see all facets of the American dream of self-reliance and boundless possibility play out on the stage of the Last Frontier. A strong\, singular person grows in these pages. Like a protagonist in a Daniel Woodrell novel\, she is stubborn\, heroic\, and capable of anything.” — Will Chancellor\, author of A Brave Man Seven Storeys Tall\n\nAbout the Alaskan Laundry: \nA fresh debut novel about a lost\, fierce young woman who finds her way to Alaska and finds herself through the hard work of fishing\, as far as the icy Bering Sea.\nTara Marconi has made her way to The Rock\, a remote island in Alaska governed by the seasons and the demands of the world of commercial fishing. She hasn t felt at home in a long while her mother’s death left her unmoored and created a seemingly insurmountable rift between her and her father. But in the majestic\, mysterious\, and tough boundary-lands of Alaska she begins to work her way up the fishing ladder from hatchery assistant all the way to King crabber. She learned discipline from years as a young boxer in Philly\, but here she learns anew what it means to work\, to connect\, and in buying and fixing up an old tugboat how to make a home she knows is her own. A beautiful evocation of a place that can’t help but change us and a testament to the unshakable lure of home\, The Alaskan Laundry also offers an unforgettable story of one woman’s journey from isolation back to the possibility of love.
