SUMMARY:Chuck Klosterman / X: A Highly Specific\, Defiantly Incomplete History of the Early 21st Century
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith welcomes Chuck Klosterman back to the store for the paperback release of X: A Highly Specific\, Defiantly Incomplete History of the Early 21st Century. 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 X below and put your request in the notes field. Remember\, 1 seat = 1 book \nChuck Klosterman has created an incomparable body of work in books\, magazines\, newspapers\, and on the Web. His writing spans the realms of culture and sports\, while also addressing interpersonal issues\, social quandaries\, and ethical boundaries. Klosterman has written nine previous books\, helped found and establish Grantland\, served as the New York Times Magazine Ethicist\, worked on film and television productions\, and contributed profiles and essays to outlets such as GQ\, Esquire\, Billboard\, The A.V. Club\, and The Guardian. \nChuck Klosterman’s tenth book (aka Chuck Klosterman X) collects his most intriguing of those pieces\, accompanied by fresh introductions and new footnotes throughout. Klosterman presents many of the articles in their original form\, featuring previously unpublished passages and digressions. Subjects include Breaking Bad\, Lou Reed\, zombies\, KISS\, Jimmy Page\, Stephen Malkmus\, steroids\, Mountain Dew\, Chinese Democracy\, The Beatles\, Jonathan Franzen\, Taylor Swift\, Tim Tebow\, Kobe Bryant\, Usain Bolt\, Eddie Van Halen\, Charlie Brown\, the Cleveland Browns\, and many more cultural figures and pop phenomena. This is a tour of the past decade from one of the sharpest and most prolific observers of our unusual times. \n  \n\n  \n“Often imitated and rarely replicated\, the writing style of Chuck Klosterman has proven rather influential in all manner of 21st century writing. From news stories to critical reviews to artist profiles\, Klosterman’s often irreverent\, self-deprecating\, footnote happy smart/funny observations make for highly entertaining reading.” — John Paul\, Popmatters \n  \n“Infectious…. Though Klosterman may be pigeonholed as a guy who thinks too much about Kiss\, his 10th book shows he’s something else: a philosopher.” — Justin Wm. Moyer\, The Washington Post \n  \n“Klosterman is a master of the high-low…He injects a level of intellectual rigor into subjects that receive precious little…With X\, Klosterman wallows in the trivial…but he’s not trivializing…proving that culture essays can teach us something about ourselves and the people around us…Each of his essays is a love letter to a moment.” — B. David Zarley\, Paste \n  \n\n  \nChuck Klosterman is the bestselling author of eight books of nonfiction (including Sex\, Drugs\, and Cocoa Puffs and But What If We’re Wrong?) and two novels (Downtown Owl and The Visible Man). He has written for The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, GQ\, Esquire\, Spin\, The Guardian\, The Believer\, Billboard\, The A.V. Club\, and ESPN. Klosterman served as the Ethicist for The New York Times Magazine for three years\, appeared as himself in the LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up and Play the Hits\, and was an original founder of the website Grantland with Bill Simmons. Author photo by Jason Booher. \n  \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required.

SUMMARY:Weimar Mirror: Revisiting Alfred Döblin
DESCRIPTION:Weimar Mirror: Revisiting Alfred Döblin\n\nIntroduction by Peter Maravelis (City Lights Booksellers)\nOpening Statement and moderation by William T Vollmann (National Book Award winner\, EUROPE CENTRAL)\nPresentations and roundtable participation by Adrian Daub\, Thomas O. Haakenson\, Deniz Göktürk\, and Mel Gordon. \nThe Goethe Institut San Francisco in conjunction with City Lights Booksellers and New York Review Books present an evening re-exploring the classic work of German writer Alfred Döblin\, Berlin Alexanderplatz\, on the eve of the release of a new translation by Michael Hoffmann published by New York Review Books. The evening is unique as it utilizes a joint examination of the novel juxtaposed against Werner Fassbinder‘s epic 15 hour film treatment of the book. Local scholars in German literature and history will read from the novel\, discuss elements of the story\, show film clips from Fassbinder’s film\, and participate in a roundtable discussion. Film and novel are reflected against each other to explore the Weimar period and its significance in modern times. Alfred Döblin’s Berlin Alexanderplatz is considered one of the most innovative works of Weimar Germany. It’s collage-like form and stream of consciousness narrative drive the reader into the metropolis of Berlin in the 1920’s exploring all its complexity. In 1983 Werner Rainer Fassbinder released his film adaptation of Berlin Alexanderplatz which gained a cult following. Susan Sontag penned an appreciation of the film\, and Michael Mann and Francis Ford Coppola have cited it as one of their greatest influences. This evening utilizes both novel and film to bring us closer to the life and work of Alfred Döblin and the Weimar Period. The issues explored will include: \n-How Doblin’s work speaks to us today.\n-The rise of fascism in Germany in the 20th century\n-Sexual freedom in the Weimar Period\n-Crime in Berlin\n-Jewish Assimilation and Separatism\n-The critical reception of Fassbinder’s Berlin Alexanderplatz adaptation after its release \nAlfred Döblin (1878–1957) was born in German Stettin (now the Polish city of Szczecin) to Jewish parents. When he was ten his father\, a master tailor\, eloped with a seamstress\, abandoning the family. Subsequently his mother relocated the rest of the family to Berlin. Döblin studied medicine at Friedrich Wilhelm University\, specializing in neurology and psychiatry. While working at a psychiatric clinic in Berlin\, he became romantically entangled with two women: Friede Kunke\, with whom he had a son\, Bodo\, in 1911\, and Erna Reiss\, to whom he had become engaged before learning of Kunke’s pregnancy. He married Erna the next year\, and they remained together for the rest of his life. His novel The Three Leaps of Wang Lun was published in 1915 while Döblin was serving as a military doctor; it went on to win the Fontane Prize. In 1920 he published Wallenstein\, a novel set during the Thirty Years’ War\, which was an oblique comment on the First World War. He became president of the Association of German Writers in 1924\, and published his best-known novel\, Berlin Alexanderplatz\, in 1929\, achieving modest mainstream fame while solidifying his position at the center of an intellectual group that included Bertolt Brecht\, Robert Musil\, and Joseph Roth\, among others. He fled Germany with his family soon after Hitler’s rise\, moving first to Zurich\, then to Paris\, and\, after the Nazi invasion of France\, to Los Angeles\, where he converted to Catholicism and briefly worked as a screenwriter for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. After the war he returned to Germany and worked as an editor with the aim of rehabilitating literature that had been banned under Hitler\, but he found himself at odds with conservative postwar cultural trends. He suffered from Parkinson’s disease in later years and died in Emmendingen in 1957. Erna committed suicide two months after his death and was interred along with him. \nWhat has been said of the work of Alfred Döblin: \nThe story of Franz Biberkopf is the Éducation sentimentale of the petty thief. The most extreme\, dizzying\, last\, and most advanced embodiment of the old bourgeoisbildungsroman.\n—Walter Benjamin\nI found myself reading Berlin Alexanderplatz in a way that you could hardly call reading—more like devouring\, gobbling\, gulping down. And these expressions still don’t do justice to that way of reading\, which dangerously often wasn’t reading at all\, but more life\, suffering\, despair\, and fear.\n—Rainer Werner Fassbinder\nA classic German novel of the criminal demimonde of the Weimar era…Hofmann’s version is vigorous and fresh\, bringing Döblin to a new generation of readers. A welcome refurbishing of a masterpiece of literary modernism\, one of the most significant German novels of the 20th century.\n—Kirkus starred review\n[A] major writer who grappled with the roots of darkness in our time….\n—Ernst Pawel\, The New York Times\nHis was an extraordinary mind.\n—Philip Ardagh\, The Guardian\nWithout the futurist elements of Döblin’s work from Wang Lun to Berlin Alexanderplatz\, my prose is inconceivable…. He’ll discomfort you\, give you bad dreams. If you’re satisfied with yourself\, beware of Döblin.\n—Günter Grass\nI learned more about the essence of the epic from Döblin than from anyone else. His epic writing and even his theory about the epic strongly influenced my own dramatic art.\n—Bertolt Brecht\nAs we look back over the rich literary output of this great writer\, as we look back over the long and fruitful life of this fighter and this friend of man\, this perennial spring of spiritual life\, we venture to ask: When will the gentlemen of the Nobel Prize jury discover him?\n—Ludwig Marcuse\, Books Abroad

SUMMARY:Written Within the Body: A Salon with Lone Mørch\, Sarah Kornfeld\, September Williams and Kristin Kaye
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts an evening salon exploring the body in fiction and nonfiction with Lone Mørch\, Sarah Kornfeld\, September Williams and Kristin Kaye\, all reading from their new books. Please join us for readings\, Q&A\, and signings! \n  \nEmbody by Lone Mørch \nEmbody is a tribute to the sensual body. In photos & prose\, Mørch examines and illuminates the light and shadows in women’s bodies\, minds and psyches. With a loving gaze\, artistic nerve\, and poetry\, the book reveals how women today work hard to discover and get in touch with their own bodies\, on their own terms. For the past fourteen years nearly a thousand women of all ages have found the courage and freedom before Lone’s camera to explore the many expressions of beauty\, sensuality and eroticism in themselves – on their own terms. The male gaze has dominated the representation of women for the past 150 years. Embody reveals what happens when women choose to be photographed by women\, and decide how they want to be seen. \n  \nLone Mørch is an award-winning author\, photographer and speaker whose work lives at the intersection of art\, body\, identity\, culture and life’s journey. A Danish native\, she has for the past 25+ years traveled\, lived\, loved and worked in Asia\, Europe and USA. She’s the founder of Lolo’s Boudoir and has helped a thousand women find healing\, transformation\, adventure and celebration through her photography. Her previous work included the award-winning memoir Seeing Red: A Woman’s Quest for Truth\, Power and the Sacred about her own path towards liberation. Her photos and essays have been featured in Danish and American magazines\, newspapers and blogs such as InStyle\, Cosmopolitan\, People\, SF Chronicle\, Huffington Post\, Light Journal\, East Bay Express and 7×7.  She splits her time between Denmark and USA. \n  \n\n  \nWhat Stella Sees by Sarah Kornfeld \nNo one saw it coming that Moise and Stella would fall in love because everyone assumed they were too sick to do so. Though\, why shouldn’t a guy with Cerebral Palsy and a young woman with seizures be sexy? In a story that reaches from Israel to San Francisco\, Bucharest to Paris\, this story of two people\, defined as “disabled” explores what being “broken” truly is in society – particularly in the arts. \n  \nSarah E. Kornfeld‘s debut novel\, What Stella Sees\, will be published by Cove International Publishers in the summer of 2018. Sarah was born and raised in the experimental theater of New York City\, and received her B.A. at Sarah Lawrence College where she focused on writing and choreography. Her master teacher in poetry/writing was Kate Knapp Johnson. Her master teacher in choreography was Merce Cunningham’s lead dancer\, Viola Farber. Sarah is a proud member of the National Writers Union and has read twice at the San Francisco LitQuake/LitCrawl festival (2016 and 2017). She is an Adjunct Professor at the University of San Francisco\, School of Education\, International + Multicultural Studies Department where she teaches Cultural Curation to Masters and Ph.D students. She lives in the Bay Area by the sea with her Son. \n  \n\nChasing Mercury by September Williams \nAn epileptic black ballerina and a Powwow dancer\, whistleblower journalist meet in the Montreal airport. They are both performing at an international youth festival in Berlin\, 1973 Cold War Berlin. During a long layover in Zürich\, he takes the ballerina to a Swiss Bank. Speaking French\, the Powwow dancer deposits many thousands of dollars into his numbered account to which he adds her name\, providing no true explanation. Is she an accomplice–or is this just love in the time of mercury poisoning? \n  \nChasing Mercury is a romance-suspense-memoir inspired by the events leading to the Minamata World Convention on Mercury\, ratified and entered into force August 16\, 2017.  Spanning three continents\, the story covers decades and the world’s waters. The novel connects human rights\, environmental justice and romance. Chasing Mercury is the first in a series of three books in the Chasing Mercury Toxic Trilogy. \n  \nSeptember Williams is an American physician-writer\, bioethicist and filmmaker. All of her work seeks a better understanding of and between ourselves.  She focuses on promoting resilience for people who are ill\, aging\, dying\, or stressed by environmental and humanitarian violation. Yet\, her writing is fired by the humor which allows people and characters to make it through hard times. September’s nonfiction writing covers health disparities\, bioethics and film. She is a member of the National Writers Union (AFLCIO/UAW 1981)\, an affiliate of the International Federation of Journalists\, and the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities. She lives in Marin. \n  \n\n  \nTree Dreams by Kristin Kaye \nWhen seventeen-year-old Jade Reynolds witnesses a violent clash between a protesting tree sitter and a local logger\, she runs as far as she can from the battles that plague her home and from the mysteries of the redwood forest. But the ancient redwoods are embedded in her psyche—she feels their call even in the dark and forgotten back alleys of Portland\, Oregon where she’s hiding out. She soon becomes entangled with a lovable misfit and a band of radical slackers\, environmentalists\, and anarchists\, and finds herself living 100 feet high in the canopy of a redwood grove\, trying to decide whose side she’s on: the logging community she’s known her entire life or the environmentalists who are risking their lives for the future of the forest. To find a way beyond the division between Us and Them\, Jade turns to the ancient trees themselves—and the thread-thin web that connects us all. \n  \nKristin Kaye is an author\, ghostwriter and teacher whose work sits at the intersection of nature\, narrative and spirituality. Tree Dreams: A Novel is forthcoming in April\, 2018 from Spark Press. The novel gave rise to a global tree tagging campaign that celebrates the myriad ways we are connected to each other\, to nature and to our future. Tree Dreams tags now hang in over 20 states and 12 countries around the world. Kristin’s previous work includes Iron Maidens: The Celebration of the Most Awesome Female Muscle in the World\, which details her experience directing twenty-five of the world’s strongest and most muscular women in an off-Broadway show. The book was a finalist for the Oregon Book Awards\, and described by Utne Reader as “one of 5 new titles for women who resist easy definition. \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required. If you are unable to attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of any of the authors’ books\, send an email to events AT booksmith DOT com to put in your requuest.

SUMMARY:Barbara Berman
DESCRIPTION:Barbara Berman reads from her new poetry collection\, Currents. \nPraise for Currents \nThe reach of these graceful\, ambitious poems ranges across stars\, cities\, storms. Their music is both political and deeply private\, braiding the two undersongs together in challenging and sometimes wrenching poetry. These are poems to be savored and remembered\, touchstones of a felt world. —Eavan Boland\, Director of the Creative Writing Program\, Stanford University. \n Barbara Berman offers up a book of psalms to praise the mysterious and divine. Part Miriam Sagan\, part Gretel Ehrlich\, this is a true faith quest with cameos by Thomas Merton\, Sojourner Truth and Bruce Chatwin. —Richard Peabody\, Editor of Gargoyle Magazine

SUMMARY:Poetry Flash presents Jane Mead and Carol Muske-Dukes
DESCRIPTION:Jane Mead’s new book of poems is World of Made and Unmade. C.D. Wright said\, “As the laundry room floods and the grape harvest gets done; as Michoacán waits for another time\, her beautiful\, practical mother is dying. Ashes are scattered in the pecan groves of her own Rincon\, her own corner of the world\, and the poet\, in elementary script\, draws a sustaining record of the only feeling worth the struggle.…” She’s authored four previous collections\, most recently Money\, Money\, Money | Water\, Water\, Water\, and her honors include a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship\, a Whiting Writers Award\, and a Lannan Foundation Completion Grant. \nCarol Muske-Dukes’s new book of poems is Blue Rose. Linda Gregerson says\, “Scathing intelligence and an open heart: the most difficult combination in the world\, and bountifully manifest on every page. In the birth room\, at the death bed\, beneath the falling ash of a California wildfire\, before the whole\, hurt spectacle of an imperiled and beloved world\, these poems remind us what it’s truly like to see and feel.” Author of eight poetry collections\, including Sparrow\, a finalist for the National Book Award\, she’s also published four novels\, two collections of essays\, and co-edited Crossing State Lines: An American Renga with Bob Holman. She was California Poet Laureate from 2008 to 2011.

SUMMARY:Ted Scheinman
DESCRIPTION:reads from Camp Austen: My Life as an Accidental Jane Austen Superfan\, a raucous tour through the world of Mr. Darcy imitations\, tailored gowns\, and tipsy ballroom dancing. \n“A treat for any Jane Austen fan . . . a fascinating window into a man’s experience in a largely female world. Scheinman is a wonderful guide to the world of Austen\, and this honest and thoughtful discussion of the role Austen’s works have played in his family will delight any Janeite.” —Booklist \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Camp Austen by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, May 24\, 2018 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nThe son of a devoted Jane Austen scholar\, Ted Scheinman spent his childhood eating Yorkshire pudding\, singing in an Anglican choir\, and watching Laurence Olivier as Mr. Darcy. Determined to leave his mother’s world behind\, he nonetheless found himself in grad school organizing the first ever UNC-Chapel Hill Jane Austen Summer Camp\, a weekend-long event that sits somewhere between an academic conference and superfan extravaganza. \nWhile the long tradition of Austen devotees includes the likes of Henry James and E. M. Forster\, it is at the conferences and reenactments where Janeism truly lives. In Camp Austen\, Scheinman tells the story of his indoctrination into this enthusiastic world and his struggle to shake his mother’s influence while navigating hasty theatrical adaptations\, undaunted scholars in cravats\, and unseemly petticoat fittings. \nIn a haze of morning crumpets and restrictive tights\, Scheinman delivers a hilarious and poignant survey of one of the most enduring and passionate literary coteries in history. Combining clandestine journalism with frank memoir\, academic savvy with insider knowledge\, Camp Austen is perhaps the most comprehensive study of Austen that can also be read in a single sitting. Brimming with stockings\, culinary etiquette\, and scandalous dance partners\, this is summer camp as you’ve never seen it before. \nTed Scheinman is a writer and scholar based in Southern California\, where he works as a senior editor at Pacific Standard magazine. He has taught courses on journalism\, satire\, and poetry at the University of North Carolina and has written for The New York Times\, the Oxford American\, Playboy\, Slate\, and many other publications.
