SUMMARY:Zachary Mason
DESCRIPTION:Not far in the future the seas have risen and the central latitudes are emptying\, but it’s still a good time to be rich in San Francisco\, where weapons drones patrol the skies to keep out the multitudinous poor. Irina isn’t rich\, not quite\, but she does have an artificial memory that gives her perfect recall and lets her act as a medium between her various employers and their AIs\, which are complex to the point of opacity. It’s a good gig\, paying enough for the annual visits to the Mayo Clinic that keep her from aging. \n  \nKern has no such access; he’s one of the many refugees in the sprawling drone-built favelas on the city’s periphery\, where he lives like a monk\, training relentlessly in martial arts\, scraping by as a thief and an enforcer. Thales is from a different world entirely—the mathematically inclined scion of a Brazilian political clan\, he’s fled to L.A. after the attack that left him crippled and his father dead. \n  \nA ragged stranger accosts Thales and demands to know how much he can remember. Kern flees for his life after robbing the wrong mark. Irina finds a secret in the reflection of a laptop’s screen in her employer’s eyeglasses. None are safe as they’re pushed together by subtle forces that stay just out of sight. \n  \nVivid\, tumultuous\, and propulsive\, Void Star is Zachary Mason’s mind-bending follow-up to his bestselling debut\, The Lost Books of the Odyssey.

SUMMARY:Joan Frank
DESCRIPTION:Joan Frank\n\n\n\n\nreads from her new novel\, All the News I Need\, winner of the Juniper Prize for Fiction admiistered by UMass Press.\n“A deep dive into the heart of friendship\, of memory and regret\, of aging and loss… redemptive and wholly satisfying surprises…Joan Frank has gifted us with two unforgettable characters in a novel filled to bursting with hard truths and shimmering beauty.”—Bob Wake\, Cambridge Review \n\n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, April 19\, 2017 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nA story of love and sex and friendship\, of art and travel—and of those small changes\, within our reach\, that may help us save ourselves—somewhere toward the end. \n“This wholly original novel asks and answers the most urgent of all questions: how are we to live? In precise\, pointillist prose\, Joan Frank humbly delivers an unforgettable and unconventional love story with characters who both define and defy the rules of aging. Beneath the surface of these deceptively quiet pages lies a barely containable exuberance\, a life-force I found moving and inspiring.”—Christopher Castellani \nJoan Frank is also the award-winning author of Because You Have To: A Writing Life\, and Make It Stay\, among other novels and story collections. A reviewer of literary fiction for the San Francisco Chronicle\, she lives in Northern California. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705

SUMMARY:Marcy Dermansky w/ Daniel Hadler
DESCRIPTION:Praise for The Red Car \n“I’ve been waiting and waiting for a new book from Marcy Dermansky and finally that new book is here. The Red Car is taut and smart and strange and sweet and perfect. I want to eat this book or sew it to my skin or something.” Roxane Gay\, author Bad Feminist \n“A new book by the inimitable Marcy Dermansky is worth cheering for. The Red Car is droll\, unflinching\, and mysterious\, a feat of efficient storytelling. I could not put it down. This novel mesmerized me.” Edan Lepucki\, author of California \n“There are few writers who can do what Marcy Dermansky does so effortlessly in The Red Car\, the way she pushes this story in such surprising and thrilling directions\, never losing control\, taking your breath away line by beautiful line. Dermansky writes with such unnerving clarity about grief\, not just for the loss of a loved one\, but for our own unexpected lives. A strange\, unflinching\, utterly amazing novel.” Kevin Wilson\, author of The Family Fang \n\nAbout the Red Car \nLeah is living in Queens with a possessive husband she doesn’t love and a long list of unfulfilled ambitions\, when she’s jolted from a thick ennui by a call from the past. Her beloved former boss and friend\, Judy\, has died in a car accident and left Leah her most prized possession and\, as it turns out\, the instrument of Judy’s death: a red sports car. \nJudy was the mentor Leah never expected. She encouraged Leah’s dreams\, analyzed her love life\, and eased her into adulthood over long lunches away from the office. Facing the jarring disconnect between the life she expected and the one she is now actually living\, Leah takes off for San Francisco to claim Judy’s car. In sprawling days defined by sex\, sorrow\, and unexpected delight\, Leah revisits past lives and loves in search of a self she abandoned long ago. Piercing through Leah’s surreal haze is the enigmatic voice of Judy\, as sharp as ever\, providing wry commentary on Leah’s every move. \nFollowing her “irresistible” (Time) and “wicked” (Slate) novel Bad Marie\, Dermansky evokes yet another edgy\, capricious\, and beautifully haunting heroine one whose search for realization is as wonderfully unpredictable and hypnotic as the twists and turns of the Pacific Coast Highway. Tautly wound\, transgressive\, and mordantly funny\, The Red Car is an incisive exploration of one woman’s unusual route to self-discovery.
