SUMMARY:Rikki Ducornet
DESCRIPTION:reading from her new novel \nBrightfellow \npublished by Coffee House Press \nA feral boy comes of age on a campus decadent with starched sheets\, sweating cocktails\, and homemade jams. Stub is the cause of that missing sweater\, the pie that disappeared off the cooling rack. Then Stub meets Billy\, who takes him in\, and Asthma\, who enchants him\, and all is found\, then lost. A fragrant\, voluptuous novel of imposture\, misplaced affection\, and emotional deformity. \nAn artist and writer\, Rikki Ducornet has illustrated books by Robert Coover\, Jorge Luis Borges\, Forrest Gander\, and Joanna Howard. Her paintings have been exhibited widely\, including\, most recently\, at the Pierre Menard Gallery in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, and the Salvador Allende Museum in Santiago\, Chile. \nCritical Praise for the work of Rikki Ducornet: \n“Linguistically explosive . . . one of the most interesting American writers around.”—The Nation \n“Rikki Ducornet\, in the effervescent and airy Brightfellow\, deftly executes a hefty lightness\, the lightest of a bright\, light touch that delights and spontaneously combusts right before our eyes. Like an unbounded baron in the trees\, like a goat boy on the loose in the groves of academe\, this book inscribes a lofty scaffolding of amazing mazes\, canopies of wonder. Ignited luminescence\, irresistible levitation\, iridescent images—the words skip like philosophic stones through a saturated and shimmering exhalation.” —Michael Martone\, author of Michael Martone and Winesburg\, Indiana \n“Ducornet—surrealist\, absurdist\, pure anarchist at times—is one of our most accomplished writers\, adept at seizing on the perfect details and writing with emotion and cool detachment simultaneously. I love her style because it is penetrating and precise but also sensual without being overwrought. You experience a Ducornet novel with all of your senses.”—Jeff VanderMeer

SUMMARY:Mark Jacobson
DESCRIPTION:In March\,1979\, a young street hustler in San Francisco stumbles into an emergency room with lungs so congested he can barely breathe. Seen by a perplexed medical resident\, the patient becomes the first of many thousands to die from a yet-to-be named plague. Sensing Light is a raw\, compelling novel that follows the personal and professional lives of the men and women on the front lines of the emerging AIDS epidemic. \nThis breakout book by Mark A. Jacobson\, a leading Bay Area HIV/AIDS physician\, follows the lives of three people from vastly different backgrounds who are thrown together by a shared urgency to find out what is killing so many men in the prime of their lives. Kevin\, a gay medical resident from working class Boston\, has just moved to San Francisco in search of acceptance of his own sexual identity. Herb\, the supervising physician\, struggles with his emotional rigidity in the exhausting world of one of the nation’s toughest hospitals. And Gwen\, a divorced mother with a teen daughter\, looks for a sense of self and security while completing her medical training. \nMark A. Jacobson is a professor of medicine at UCSF and an attending physician at San Francisco General Hospital. He began his internship days after the CDC reported a mysterious\, fatal form of immunodeficiency in five gay men and soon after was assigned responsibility for critically ill patients with this syndrome.
