SUMMARY:Meredith Maran
DESCRIPTION:Book critic and essayist Meredith Maran discusses her absorbing memoir\, The New Old Me: My Late-Life Reinvention. Meredith will be in conversation with Michelle Richmond\, bestselling author of the novel Golden State. \n“By turns poignant and funny…a spirited and moving memoir about how “it’s never too late to try something new.” —Kirkus Reviews \n“When Meredith Maran lost her best friend\, her money\, and her marriage to the woman of her dreams at age 60\, she could have become a bitter\, angry woman. Instead she made a new\, vibrant life for herself in a new\, vibrant city\, with a new job\, new friends\, new lovers\, and an old bungalow among the lime trees. The spirit\, resilience\, and hilarity on display in The New Old Me offers hope for living soulfully and zestfully no matter what life gives us—now\, and at every age.” — Ayelet Waldman \n“The New Old Me is a book I don’t just want to read – I need to read it. So does everyone else who’s getting older and wants to live fully\, with immediacy and enjoyment\, which is to say\, everyone.” —Anne Lamott \n“The New Old Me is funny\, tough\, sweet\, and always charming.” —Meg Wolitzer \n“Meredith’s wrenching\, redemptive journey is a heartfelt\, wise meditation on the challenges women face today as we age\, and the creativity with which we’re facing them.”—Susan Orlean \nLike a lot of women her age\, MEREDITH MARAN has a hard time believing she’s a woman of her age. And yet she’s published more than a dozen books\, including The New Old Me\, Why We Write About Ourselves\, Why We Write\, My Lie\, and A Theory of Small Earthquakes. When she’s not hiking Mount Hollywood\, attending readings at indie bookstores\, or scouring Los Angeles’ finest thrift shops\, she’s writing for venues including The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, The Christian Science Monitor\, The Los Angeles Review of Books\, The Rumpus\, and Salon. The grateful recipient of fellowships from MacDowell and Yaddo and a member of the National Book Critics Circle\, Meredith lives in a Silver Lake bungalow that’s even older than she is.

SUMMARY:Josh Mohr
DESCRIPTION:discussing his new memoir \nSirens \nfrom Two Dollar Radio \n\n\n“To the short list of genuinely great addiction memoirs we can now add Sirens\, a searing and at times hilarious account of Mohr’s lost years in the dive bars and gutters of San Francisco. Like Mary Karr and Jerry Stahl\, there is no line Mohr won’t cross\, either in his erstwhile quest for self-immolation\, or his fearless honesty in reporting back from that time. But what sets this book apart is Mohr’s unwillingness to traffic in pat notions of redemption.”—Ron Currie\, Jr. \n“This isn’t your average recovery memoir. Mohr’s honesty in this book is astonishing and necessary\, his candor about hitting bottom and relapsing deeply moving and important. It’s a hell of a compelling read.”—Cari Luna \nAcclaimed novelist Joshua Mohr provides a captivating and complicated account of his years of substance abuse and culpability in his non-fiction debut. Employing the characterization and chimerical prose for which he has been lauded\, Mohr traces his childhood swilling fuzzy navels as a latch-key kid\, through his first failed marriage\, parenthood\, heart-surgery\, and his everyday struggle against relapse. \nJoshua Mohr is the author of Some Things that Meant the World to Me\, one of Oprah Magazine‘s Top 10 reads of 2009 and a San Francisco Chronicle bestseller; Termite Parade\, an Editors’ Choice pick at the New York Times Book Review; Damascus\, called “Beat-poet cool” by the New York Times; and\, most recently\, Fight Song and All This Life. He recently moved with his family to Seattle\, Washington.

SUMMARY:Pola Oloixarac
DESCRIPTION:Argentinian writer Pola Oloixarac in conversation about her first novel translated into English\, Savage Theories. \n\nPraise for Savage Theories: \n“A stunning vibrant maximalist whirlwind of a novel. Oloixarac’s wit and ambition are evident on every page. By comparison\, most other contemporary fiction seems a little dull and simple-minded.” — Hari Kunzru\, author of Gods Without Men \n“Monstrously clever and terribly funny. More than a debut\, this book is one many of us would spend our lives trying to write. ” — Javier Calvo \n“Pola Oloixarac’s prose is the great event of the new Argentinian narrative. Her novel is unforgettable\, philosophical and very serene.” — Ricardo Piglia \nAbout Savage Theories: \nA novel of seduction and madness\, hate and love\, set in the world of Argentinean academia and animated by the spirits of Wittgenstein\, Rousseau\, Nabokov and Bolano.\nRosa Ostreech\, a pseudonym for the novel’s beautiful but self-conscious narrator\, carries around a trilingual edition of Aristotle’s Metaphysics\, struggles with her thesis on violence and culture\, sleepswith a bourgeois former guerrilla\, and pursues her elderly professor with a highly charged blend oferoticism and desperation. Elsewhere on campus\, Pabst and Kamtchowsky tour the underground scene of Buenos Aires\, dabbling in ketamine\, sex\, video games\, and hacking. And in Africa in 1917\, a Dutch anthropologist named Johan van Vliet begins work on a theory that explains human consciousness and civilization by reference to our early primate ancestors animals\, who\, in the process of becominghuman\, spent thousands of years as prey.\nSavage Theories wryly explores fear and violence\, war and sex\, eroticism and philosophy. Its complex and flawed characters grapple with a mess of impossible\, visionary theories\, searching for their place in our fragmented digital world.
