SUMMARY:Zoey Leigh Peterson
DESCRIPTION:In this moving and enormously entertaining debut novel\, longtime romantic partners Kathryn and Chris experiment with an open relationship and reconsider everything they thought they knew about love. \nAfter nine years together\, Kathryn and Chris have the sort of relationship most would envy. They speak in the shorthand they have invented\, complete one another’s sentences\, and help each other through every daily and existential dilemma. When Chris tells Kathryn about his feelings for Emily\, a vivacious young woman he sees often at the Laundromat\, Kathryn encourages her boyfriend to pursue this other woman—certain that her bond with Chris is strong enough to weather a little side dalliance. \nAs Kathryn and Chris stumble into polyamory\, Next Year\, For Sure tracks the tumultuous\, revelatory\, and often very funny year that follows. When Chris’s romance with Emily grows beyond what anyone anticipated\, both Chris and Kathryn are invited into Emily’s communal home\, where Kathryn will discover new romantic possibilities of her own. In the confusions\, passions\, and upheavals of their new lives\, both Kathryn and Chris will be forced to reconsider their past and what they thought they knew about love. \nOffering a luminous portrait of a relationship from two perspectives\, Zoey L. Paterson has written an empathic\, beautiful\, and tremendously honest novel about a great love pushed to the edge. Deeply poignant and hugely entertaining\, this story shows us what lies at the mysterious heart of relationships\, and what true openness and transformation require. \nZoey Leigh Peterson was born in England\, grew up all over the United States\, and now lives in Canada. Her fiction has appeared in The Walrus\, Grain\, PRISM international\, and has been anthologized in The Journey Prize Stories and Best Canadian Stories. She is the recipient of the Far Horizons Award for Short Fiction (The Malahat Review) and the Peter Hinchcliffe Fiction Award (The New Quarterly).

SUMMARY:Cleve Jones w/ Wayne Goodman
DESCRIPTION:Noted LGBTQ activist Cleve Jones will discuss his memoir When We Rise and his life in “The Movement” (as he calls it) with local author and event host Wayne Goodman. This will be Jones’s first public appearance following the broadcast of the ABC televsion mini-series based on his work. Books will be available for purchase and signing. A free Word Week 2017 event www.facebook.com/Word-Week-314929538630095 \nbiographies:\nBorn in 1954\, Cleve Jones was among the last generation of gay Americans who grew up wondering if there were others out there like himself. There were. Like thousands of other young people\, Jones\, nearly penniless\, was drawn in the early 1970s to San Francisco\, a city electrified by progressive politics and sexual freedom. His career as an activist began in San Francisco when he befriended pioneer gay rights leader Harvey Milk. After Milk’s death\, Jones co-founded the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and conceived the idea of the AIDS Memorial Quilt\, which memorializes over 85\,000 Americans who have died from AIDS. He lives in San Francisco and works as a labor activist. \nWayne Goodman is a local author of four novels\, including most recently Vanya Says “Go!\, and host and curator of several local reading series. He has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for 50 years (with too many cats). When not writing or working on events\, he enjoys playing Gilded Age piano music by Women\, Gay\, and Black composers.
