Her book I’m Already Disturbed Please Come In was listed among the top thirty books you may have missed in 2015 by The Advocate. Curve Magazine describes Vera as “. . . a queer gem of a book… wonderful\, literary\, sexy\, funny . . \, by turns mystifying\, hilarious\, admirable\, and always hard to put down . . .” In addition to being a widely published writer\, Gabrielle Glancy is well known all around the world for her college admissions expertise. \nAndrea Wolf\nAndrea Abi-Karam is a mixed race genderqueer punk poet writing on the art of killing bros\, the intricacies of cyborg bodies\, trauma & delayed healing. They recently completed the manuscript EXTRATRANSMISSION a book length piece against how patriarchy and US militarism produce the hypergendered subject. Andrea is both a writer\, printer\, & publisher whose founding small press project Mess Editions seeks to publish emerging writing from queers\, people of color\, and those involved in social movements yet uninvolved in poetry & art scenes. \nCarolina de Robertis\nCarolina De Robertis\, a writer of Uruguayan origins\, is the author of the novels The Gods of Tango\, Perla\, and the international bestseller The Invisible Mountain. Her books have been translated into eighteen languages\, and have received a Stonewall Book Award\, Italy’s Rhegium Julii Prize\, and a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts\, among other honors.

Her photographs incorporate quotidian objects in seemingly absurd ways creating tableaux that mix recognizable elements with magical realism. Pardo is interested in the action of looking within the theatricality of “the set” and her visually provoking portraits seek to explore metaphors regarding race and gender. \nPardo is from Bogotá\, Colombia and has worked as a Curatorial Assistant at the Clocktower Gallery (Manhattan\, NY)\, a co-Director at the Swell Gallery (San Francisco\, CA) and Co-Founder/Director of NoRoof Gallery (San Francisco\, CA. Pardo has curated shows at Cranium Corporation (San Francisco\, CA); Residence/SF (San Francisco\, CA); and CTRL+SHFT collective (Oakland\, CA).

SUMMARY:Laura Walker\, Sarah Rosenthal\, + Micah Ballard
DESCRIPTION:Join Books Inc. in Berkeley for an evening of poetry with Laura Walker\, Sarah Rosenthal\, and Micah Ballard\, reading pieces from their respective new collections Story; Lizard; and Afterlives. \nIn Story\, Walker shares the strategies of telling\, which\, as every savvy writer knows\, is a constant tug between sharing and holding back\, finding\, losing\, and recovering the threads of narration. \nIn Lizard\, Rosenthal “explores the creaturely membranes that lie between the known-social and the unknown-social. This is bone instructive poetry. I love it.” – Rodrigo Toscano \nIn Afterlives\, Ballard continues the precarious yet successful envisioning of the spirited haunts of his native Louisiana amidst the streets of his long adopted San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Jason Diamond
DESCRIPTION:The Booksmith presents Jason Diamond and his hilarious and poignant new memoir\, Searching for John Hughes: Or Everything I Thought I Needed to Know about Life I Learned from Watching ’80s Movies\, the story of how a Jewish kid from a broken home in a Chicago suburb—sometimes homeless\, always restless—found comfort and connection in the likewise broken lives in the suburban Chicago of John Hughes’ oeuvre. \nA writer at heart\, Diamond decided early on that it would fall to him to write a biography of his favorite filmmaker. It didn’t matter to him that he had no qualifications\, training\, background\, platform\, or direction. Thus went the years-long\, delusional\, earnest\, and assiduous quest to reach his goal. In the meantime\, he brewed coffee\, guarded cupcake cafes\, and built up a respectable writing career. All the while\, he watched John Hughes movies religiously. Though his original biography of Hughes has long since been abandoned\, Jason has discovered he is a writer through and through\, and the adversity of going for broke has now been transformed into wisdom. Or\, at least\, a really\, really good story. \nThis is a memoir of growing up. One part big dream\, one part big failure\, one part John Hughes movies\, one part Chicago\, and one part New York. It’s a story of what comes after the “Go for it!” part of the command to young creatives to pursue their dreams—no matter how absurd they might seem at first. \nJason Diamond is a writer and editor from Brooklyn. He is the Sports Editor at Rolling Stone\, a columnist at Electric Literature\, former Literary Editor at Flavorwire\, former Associate Editor at Men’s Journal\, and the founding editor of Vol. 1 Brooklyn. He has been published by the New York Times\, Paris Review\, New York\, the Believer\, the New Republic\, the New York Observer\, Tablet\, The Rumpus\, The Awl\, and many other places. He lives in Brooklyn\, New York.
