SUMMARY:William Middleton
DESCRIPTION:William Middleton\n\ndiscussing the subject of his new book \nDouble Vision: The Unerring Eye of Art World Avatars Dominique and John de Menil \npublished by Alfred Knopf \nCity Lights celebrates the first and definitive biography of the celebrated collectors Dominique and John de Menil\, who became one of the greatest cultural forces of the twentieth century through groundbreaking exhibits of art\, artistic scholarship\, the creation of innovative galleries and museums\, and work with civil rights. \nDominique and John de Menil created an oasis of culture in their Philip Johnson-designed house with everyone from Marlene Dietrich and René Magritte to Andy Warhol and Jasper Johns. In Houston\, they built the Menil Collection\, the Rothko Chapel\, the Byzantine Fresco Chapel\, the Cy Twombly Gallery\, and underwrote the Contemporary Arts Museum.\nNow\, with unprecedented access to family archives\, William Middleton has written a sweeping biography of this unique couple. From their ancestors in Normandy and Alsace\, to their own early years in France\, and their travels in South America before settling in Houston. We see them introduced to the artists in Europe and America whose works they would collect\, and we see how\, by the 1960s\, their collection had grown to include 17\,000 paintings\, sculptures\, drawings\, photographs\, rare books\, and decorative objects.\nAnd here is\, as well\, a vivid behind-the-scenes look at the art world of the twentieth century and the enormous influence the de Menils wielded through what they collected and built and through the causes they believed in. \nWilliam Middleton is a journalist and editor who has worked in New York and Paris. He has been the Fashion Features Director for Harper’s Bazaar and the Paris Bureau Chief for Fairchild Publications\, overseeing W Magazine and Women’s Wear Daily. He has written for The New York Times\, The New York Times Magazine\, Vogue\, House & Garden\, Esquire\, Texas Monthly\, Travel & Leisure\, Departures\, and the International Herald Tribune. \nPraise for Double Vision: \n“Middleton spares no details in this history of the French couple who made Houston their home and converted it to a center of the arts… A well-written\, highly informative book for devotees of the modern art world.”\n—Kirkus Reviews \n“An authoritative account of the lives and patronage of 20th-century art-world power-couple Dominique and John de Menil…As Middleton dutifully shows\, the couple’s commitment to art and philanthropy defined their lives…. This exhaustively researched\, satisfying slab of a book offers a thorough look into the lives and influence of an extraordinary couple.”\n—Publisher’s Weekly \nIn “Double Vision\,” William Middleston gives visionary art collectors Dominique and John de Menil the joint biography they richly deserve–a sweeping\, superbly researched\, behind-the-scenes account of a family deeply involved in the story of 20th-century American art.”\n—Mark Stevens and Annalyn Swan\, authors of de Kooning: An American Master

SUMMARY:Tao Lin / Trip: Psychedelics\, Alienation\, and Change
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts Tao Lin for his new book Trip: Psychedelics\, Alienation\, and Change. With Tao in conversation is The Believer‘s Ross Simonini — please join us! \nPlease note: this event begins at 7pm. Seating is limited\, and is first come\, first served. If you would like to reserve a seat\, please purchase a copy of Trip below and put your request in the notes field. Remember\, 1 seat = 1 book \nPart memoir\, part history\, part journalistic exposé\, Trip is a look at psychedelic drugs\, literature\, and alienation from one of the twenty-first century’s most innovative novelists — The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test for a new generation. \nWhile reeling from one of the most creative — but at times self-destructive — outpourings of his life\, Tao Lin discovered the strange and exciting work of Terence McKenna. McKenna\, the leading advocate of psychedelic drugs since Timothy Leary\, became for Lin both an obsession and a revitalizing force. In Trip\, Lin’s first book-length work of nonfiction\, he charts his recovery from pharmaceutical drugs\, his surprising and positive change in worldview\, and his four-year engagement with some of the hardest questions: Why do we make art? Is the world made of language? What happens when we die? And is the imagination more real than the universe? \nIn exploring these ideas and detailing his experiences with psilocybin\, DMT\, salvia\, and cannabis\, Lin takes readers on a trip through nature\, his own past\, psychedelic culture\, and the unknown. \n  \n\n  \n“Trip is not only a book about drugs–it’s about the condition of humans at this point in history\, troublingly divorced from our natural capacity for awe by our chemically depleted bodies and minds. This book has changed how I understand myself on a cellular level. It’s a superbly researched\, moving\, and formally inventive quest for re-enchantment\, and Tao Lin’s most compelling and profound book yet.” — Sheila Heti\, author of How Should a Person Be?\n“Similar to the psychedelic drugs Tao Lin writes about here\, this book introduces new ways to consider language\, perception\, and recovery. It’s a joy to watch Lin interrogate his obsessions so earnestly and thoroughly in an attempt to understand more about the world as he knows it. Trip is a book for anyone interested in learning about what the human mind is capable of seeing and believing.” — Chelsea Hodson\, author of Tonight I’m Someone Else \n“Tao Lin took all the drugs so that we wouldn’t have to\, and the result is astonishing\, mind-expanding\, beautiful\, and profound. The whole of humanity seems contained in this one book.”— Kristen Iskandrian\, author of Motherest \n“Tao Lin’s writing reliably restores my sense of the inexhaustible strangeness of even one minute of human thought and feeling.” — Michael W. Clune\, author of White Out \n  \n\n  \nTao Lin is the author of the novels Taipei\, Richard Yates\, and Eeeee Eee Eeee\, the novella Shoplifting from American Apparel\, the story collection Bed\, and the poetry collections cognitive-behavioral therapy and you are a little bit happier than i am. He is the founder and editor of the literary press Muumuu House. His work has been translated into twelve languages and he lives in Manhattan. Author photo by Noah Kalina. \n  \nRoss Simonini is writer\, artist\, and musician. He lives in Northern California and New York. His debut novel\, The Book of Formation\, was released by Melville House in late 2017. He is the interviews editor at The Believer magazine and teaches experimental seminars at Columbia University. \n  \n  \nRSVP is appreciated\, but not required. If you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Trip\, and/or any of the authors’ books\, order below and put your request in the comments field.

SUMMARY:Todd Robert Petersen presents IT NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE WE TRIED
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 17\n7pm\n \nEAST BAY BOOKSELLERS welcomes Todd Robert Petersen to discuss his novel\, It Needs to Look Like We Tried\, on Tuesday\, May 17th at 7pm. \n“Todd Robert Petersen is crazy-talented\, and the wild\, weird\, hilarious stories of It Needs to Look Like We Tried are just what’s called for in these bizarre\, frightening times.” — Richard Russo\, author of Trajectory \nEveryone has a dream\, an idea\, a goal. But what happens when those desires are thwarted\, when dreams and goals fall apart? In It Needs to Look Like We Tried\, Todd Robert Petersen explores the ways in which our failures work on the lives of others\, weaving an intricate web of interconnected stories. \nA fastidious man takes a detour on the way to his father’s wedding and kicks off a series of events that ricochets from the bride to her real estate clients; to a crazed former homeowner and his sister-in-law’s reality TV lover; to a hoarding family whose lives are wrecked by their appearance on the second-rate show. Their daughter decides to escape the gravity of her tiny town with the help of her boyfriend who has a not-quite-legal plan to scrape together enough money to fund their departure. \nOn their way across the country\, these star-crossed lovers encounter our fastidious man\, and the Rube-Goldberg machine of life continues. Their fling has petered out\, and they are driving home\, whatever home is left after walking away from everything they abandoned a month before. \nAbout the Author \nTodd Robert Petersen’s work has appeared in Mid-American Review\, Hobart\, and the Wisconsin Review\, and he has published two books with a small regional press. He is currently writing a dark comedy about Native American antiquities theft set in the desert Southwest. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nThursday\, May 17\, 2018 – 7:00pm to 8:30pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618

SUMMARY:Poetry Flash presents Melissa Stein and C. Dale Young
DESCRIPTION:Melissa Stein’s new book of poems is Terrible Blooms. The New York Times says\, “Ms. Stein reminds us that there is no honey—rough\, or otherwise—without the sting.” Her first book of poems\, Rough Honey\, won the APR/Honickman First Book Prize. She’s received fellowships from the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference\, the MacDowell Colony\, Yaddo\, and the National Endowment for the Arts. She’s a freelance editor in San Francisco. \nC. Dale Young’s new novel-in-stories\, The Affliction\, is his first collection of fiction. Charles Baxter says\, “The linked stories in C. Dale Young’s The Affliction send us off to a magical location\, where the fantastical can seem both miraculous and ordinary. These tales treat life-and-death matters with a beautifully eloquent fervor\, and\, like the stories of Julio Cortázar\, they remind us off how varied and unpredictable short stories\, like the world itself\, can be.” He’s published four collections of poetry\, most recently The Halo\, and his poetry has been anthologized several times in Best American Poetry. He’s received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation\, and the Rockefeller Foundation. He practices full-time as a medical doctor.
