SUMMARY:Elizabeth Cooperman and Thomas Walton
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Clement street on Thursday\, July 26th at 7:00 p.m. as we welcome Elizabeth Cooperman & Thomas Walton to celebrate the release of their new book (from Sagging Meniscus Press) The Last Mosaic! \n\n“Most current discussion in American literary culture regarding fragmentation\, collage\, bricolage\, braided narrative\, etc. is blinkered by the illusion that these are uniquely contemporary gestures\, but they go back to at least Heraclitus and probably to the first human who etched a list of words on stone and\, for poetic effect\, forgot to complete the list. To be human is to be broken. The Last Mosaic not only explains these ideas; it embodies them. It’s also extremely vivid\, precise\, smart\, and galvanizing. ‘With great art there’s nothing that can prepare you for the thing you’re about to see.’ “ \n—David Shields\, author of Other People: Takes and Mistakes \n\n“In this tessellated text we encounter a fractal poetics: juxtaposing witticisms and vignettes that illuminate Roman art and culture\, the authors reveal\, ‘when you look close enough\, there’s nothing that isn’t a cracked assemblage.’ Whether we’re peering at the strokes on a Caravaggio\, excavating cobblestones\, or looking more broadly at cities\, travel\, partnership\, and time\, we see that life is a series of shards that come together. A fragmented travelogue\, The Last Mosaic musters art history\, mythology\, etymology\, poetry\, and humor\, summoning the ghosts of Shelley\, Keats\, Giotto\, Nero\, and their kindred to a museum whose vivid lines resonate like the cicada’s song.” \n—Amaranth Borsuk\, author of Pomegranate Eater

DESCRIPTION:Book talk & signing with Cara Black for Murder on the Left Bank \nAt Discretion Brewing \n2703 41st Avenue\, Capitola \nEvent #2 of Bookshop’s 2018 Books & Brews Passport Series \n\nMystery-lovers\, do not miss this author visit at Discretion Brewing’s picture perfect beer garden! Join bestselling author Cara Black for a talk on the latest book in her Parisian mystery series about detective Aimée Leduc. A dying man leaves his confession – and the evidence of Parisian police corruption – with Éric Besson\, who’s assistant is promptly murdered trying to get the evidence to Paris’s chief prosecuting attorney. Aimée Leduc is reluctantly pulled into a mystery that chases across Paris\, and may implcate her late father\, while threatening her living family. \nJoin us for a night of lovingly crafted beer\, intrigue with a French theme\, and get your copy of Murder on the Left Bank signed! \n_____________________________________________________________________________ \nSpecial Offer: Our friends at Discretion are generously offering 50% off one beer with a book purchase at the event for Books & Brews attendees.

The old man\, an accountant\, is carrying a dilapidated notebook full of meticulous investment records. For decades\, he has been helping a cadre of dirty cops launder stolen money. The notebook contains his full confession—he’s waited 50 years to make it\, and now it can’t wait another day. He is adamant that Besson get the notebook into the hands of La Proc\, Paris’s chief prosecuting attorney\, so the corruption can finally be brought to light. But en route to La Proc\, Besson’s courier—his assistant and nephew—is murdered\, and the notebook disappears. \nGrief-stricken Éric Besson tries to hire private investigator Aimée Leduc to find the notebook\, but she is reluctant to get involved. Her father was a cop and was murdered by the same dirty syndicate the notebook implicates. She’s not sure which she’s more afraid of\, the dangerous men who would kill for the notebook or the idea that her father’s name might be among the dirty cops listed within it. Ultimately that’s the reason she must take the case\, which leads her across the Left Bank\, from the Cambodian enclave of Khmer Rouge refugees to the ancient royal tapestry factories to the modern art galleries. \nAbout Aimée Leduc: \nAimée Leduc\, Parisian private investigator\, is a chic\, no-nonsense computer hacker turned criminal investigator. Her adventures\, written by award-winning mystery novelist Cara Black\, often dive into the past and present of the unique neighborhoods of Paris. They are written to be read independently\, or in sequence. Murder on the Left Bank is the latest of this popular Parisian mystery series. \nAbout the Books and Brews series… \nBookshop’s popular summer event series returns! Books & Brews combines our love of literature and our love of craft beer. Five book-focused events will be held at some of our favorite beer houses this summer. Enjoy special offers and discounts at each beer house on the night of their event. \nBONUS: Pick up a Books & Brews Passport in the store (or print one here).

SUMMARY:Poetry Flash presents William O’Daly and Peter Weltner
DESCRIPTION:Famed Spanish translator William O’Daly’s new book of translation is Book of Twilight\, by Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda\, which is Neruda’s debut book\, never before published in its entirety in the United States. The bilingual collection has just been nominated for the 2018 Northern California Book Award in Translation. His translations include eight other books of poetry by Pablo Neruda. He published a full-length collection of his own poetry\, Water Ways\, in 2017\, with prose and photography by J.S. Graustein. A second collection\, Yarrow and Smoke\, will appear in 2018.

He was profiled by Mike Leonard for The Today Show. \nPeter Weltner’s latest book is The Return of What’s Been Lost\, fourteen stories and fourteen ‘choral’ poems\, which\, David Morris says\, “meditate on loss\, personal and cultural\, and how mourning embodies in the self\, incarnate and haunting\, the hugeness of what is missing.” He’s published five previous books of fiction and six full-length collections of poetry\, most recently The Light of the Sun Become Sea. His work has also appeared in some national anthologies\, including Prize Stories: the O. Henry Awards\, 1993 and 1998\, as well as in many literary journals and magazines.

SUMMARY:Victoria Patterson
DESCRIPTION:Victoria Patterson discusses her new story collection\, The Secret Habit of Sorrow. \n\nPraise for The Secret Habit of Sorrow \n\n“Patterson is on a mission to bring our ghosts out of the shadows. These stories shine with empathy and find the humanness in all our struggles.” —Joshua Mohr\, author of All This Life \n  \n“A darkly entertaining collection of stories all about the little sins we commit in the name of our desires and their myriad repercussions. Armed with sharp emotional insight and vision that penetrates and illuminates the modern condition\, Patterson’s newest offering is seductively sly and peculiarly carnal.” —Wesley Minter\, Third Place Books\, Lake Forest Park\, WA \n\nAbout The Secret Habit of Sorrow \n\nVictoria Patterson\, whose writing Vanity Fair has called “brutal\, deeply empathetic\, and emotionally wrenching\,” returns with a new collection of stories that contains echoes of Denis Johnson and Raymond Carver\, along with the emotional depth and density of Elena Ferrante. \n  \nThere’s a pitch-perfect blend of linguistic dexterity\, emotional wisdom\, and wry observation in The Secret Habit of Sorrow. The characters in these stories feel like people you know\, their struggles real. Patterson’s prose has a Denis Johnson re-filtered through Raymond Carver-vibe\, along with the emotional depth and density of Elena Ferrante. Whether it be the ties between women and their own and each other’s infants\, the struggles of parenthood\, or the trials that come with excessive drinking and drug abuse\, Patterson has an amazing ability to convey relationships\, and how our bonds can both save and destroy us.
