SUMMARY:Look Big: And Other Tips for Surviving Animal Encounters of All Kinds by Rachel Levin
DESCRIPTION:Look Big: And Other Tips for Surviving Animal Encounters of All Kinds is a lighthearted but legitimately helpful illustrated field guide for what to do in the face of 50 of our most feared—or frustrating—animals. From mountain lions to moose\, bears to bees\, rats\, raccoons\, mice… even lice!  As humans encroach on wild places\, encounters with animals have become increasingly commonplace. But what are the rules for facing a moose up close? Do you run from a coyote or stand your ground? How deadly\, really\, are black widow spiders\, rattlesnakes\, and sharks? \nPacked with expert tips\, fascinating animal facts\, and harrowing true tales (from writers like Peter Orner and Samin Nosrat)\, Look Big is a must-have survival guide for outdoor\, urban\, and suburban adventurers alike. If you have ever feared the approach of a grizzly\, the spray of a skunk\, or an army of cockroaches in the kitchen\, this book is for you. \nRachel Levin is the first San Francisco restaurant critic for Eater and a freelance journalist who has written for the New York Times\, the New Yorker\, Outside\, Sunset\, and elsewhere. Look Big is her first book. byrachellevin.com \n\n\n\n\n\nFeaturing\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRachel Levin

SUMMARY:D. Wystan Owen presents OTHER PEOPLE'S LOVE AFFAIRS
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS welcomes D. Wystan Owen to discuss his story collection\, Other People’s Love Affairs\, on Tuesday\, August 21st at 7pm. \nIn the ten luminous stories of D. Wystan Owen’s debut collection\, the people of Glass\, a picturesque village on the rugged English coast\, are haunted by longings and deeply held secrets\, captive to pasts that remain as alive as the present. Each story takes us into the lives of characters reaching earnestly and often courageously for connection to the people they have loved. Owen observes their heartbreaks\, their small triumphs\, and their generous capacity for grace. \nA young nurse\, reeling from the disappearance of her mother\, forges an unlikely friendship with a local vagrant. A young boy is by turns dazzled and disillusioned by a trip to the circus with a family friend. A widower revisits the cinema where\, as a teenager\, he and an older woman shared trysts that both thrilled and baffled him. A woman is offered fragile\, uneasy forgiveness for a cruel act from years ago. And in the title story\, a shopkeeper’s vision of the woman she loved is upended by the startling revelation of a secret life. Surprising and powerful\, and in the classic tradition of fiction by James Joyce\, William Trevor\, and Elizabeth Strout\, Owen’s interconnected stories strike a deep and resounding emotional chord. \n* * * \nABOUT THE AUTHOR \nD. Wystan Owen holds an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. His fiction and essays have appeared in A Public Space\, the American Scholar\, Literary Hub\, and the Threepenny Review. A dual citizen of the United States and the United Kingdom\, he now lives in Northern California.
