SUMMARY:Matthew Isaac Sobin
DESCRIPTION:In The Last Machine in the Solar System\, life on Earth ended billions of years ago\, but the last machine carries on. \nNearly three billion years into the future\, the solar system is a very different place. Earth is long gone\, and the sun is a gray\, shrunken dwarf. All that remains of humanity and conscious thought is Jonathan—the last machine. \nCreated to survive Earth’s destruction by our ever-expanding sun\, Jonathan witnessed the end of life on Earth. This is his story and that of his creator\, Nikolai. It is also the story of the human race\, which failed to disentangle its destiny from the star that gave rise to all life-forms on Earth. \nMatthew Isaac Sobin grew up in Huntington\, New York\, and graduated from Tufts University with a bachelor’s degree in history\, with studies in astronomy and geology. He currently lives in Hayward\, California\, with his partner\, sculptor Patricia Gonzalez\, and works with the Peter Beren Literary Agency. This is his first published work.

SUMMARY:Andrés Barba
DESCRIPTION:DIESEL\, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes Andrés Barba to the store to discuss and sign\, Such Small Hands\, on Wednesday\, April 26th at 7:00 pm. This is Transit Books inaugural book and we are so pleased to be a part of it! \nLife changes at the orphanage the day seven-year-old Marina shows up. She is different from the other girls: at once an outcast and object of fascination. As Marina struggles to find her place\, she invents a game whose rules are dictated by a haunting violence. Written in hypnotic\, lyrical prose\, alternating between Marina’s perspective and the choral we of the other girls\, Such Small Hands evokes the pain of loss and the hunger for acceptance. \nAndrés Barba is the one the most lauded contemporary Spanish writers. He is the author of twelve books\, including August\, October and Rain Over Madrid. In addition to literary fiction\, he has written essays\, poems\, books of photography\, and translations of De Quincey and Melville. His books have been translated into ten languages. \nTransit Books is a nonprofit publisher of international and American literature\, based in Oakland\, California. Founded in 2015\, Transit Books is committed to the discovery and promotion of enduring works that carry readers across borders and communities. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nWednesday\, April 26\, 2017 – 7:00pm to 8:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nDIESEL\, A Bookstore\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618

SUMMARY:John Waters
DESCRIPTION:John Waters reads from his new book\, Make Trouble\, and delivers advice for artists\, graduates and anyone trying to make a living as a creative person. \n\nNote: This event will be ticketed. Tickets include a copy of Make Trouble and a beverage. Tickets available here \n\nAbout Make Trouble \n\nWhen John Waters delivered his gleefully subversive advice to the graduates of the Rhode Island School of Design\, the speech went viral\, in part because it was so brilliantly on point about making a living as a creative person. Now we all can enjoy his sly wisdom in a manifesto that reminds us\, no matter what eld we choose\, to embrace chaos\, be nosy\, and outrage outdated critics. \nWaters notes with irony that he is eminently qualified to be a commencement speaker because he was suspended from high school\, then kicked out of college—yet he is a success doing what he loves best. Anyone embarking on a creative path\, he tells us\, would do well to realize that pragmatism and discipline are as important as talent\, and that rejection is nothing to fear. Waters advises young people to eavesdrop\, listen to their enemies\, and horrify us with new ideas. In other words\, make trouble. \n
