SUMMARY:Adam Hochschild
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of his new book \nLessons from a Dark Time and Other Essays \npublished by University of California Press \nIn this rich collection\, bestselling author Adam Hochschild has selected and updated over two dozen essays and pieces of reporting from his long career. Threaded through them all is his concern for social justice and the people who have fought for it. The articles here range from a California gun show to a Finnish prison\, from a Congolese center for rape victims to the ruins of gulag camps in the Soviet Arctic\, from a stroll through construction sites with an ecologically pioneering architect in India to a day on the campaign trail with Nelson Mandela. Hochschild also talks about the writers he loves\, from Mark Twain to John McPhee\, and explores such far-reaching topics as why so much history is badly written\, what bookshelves tell us about their owners\, and his front-row seat for the shocking revelation in the 1960s that the CIA had been secretly controlling dozens of supposedly independent organizations. \nWith the skills of a journalist\, the knowledge of a historian\, and the heart of an activist\, Hochschild shares the stories of people who took a stand against despotism\, spoke out against unjust wars and government surveillance\, and dared to dream of a better and more just world. \nAdam Hochschild is a journalist and author who has written on issues of human rights and social justice. His books include the bestselling King Leopold’s Ghost. He has been a finalist twice for the National Book Critics Circle Award and once for the National Book Award. He has been awarded the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and is a two-time recipient of the Gold Medal of the California Book Awards. \nWhat has been said about the work of Adam Hochschild: \n“Adam Hochschild’s brilliant and sprawling books on inhumanity and injustice have made him an international treasure. Now\, with Lessons from a Dark Time\, we have Hochschild in more bite-sized (well\, meal-sized) form. His journalism ranges widely\, literally around the world\, but it’s always written with the same careful craft and indignant eloquence that we’ve come to admire so much.”—Jeffrey Toobin\, author of American Heiress; staff writer\, New Yorker;and chief legal analyst\, CNN \n“This book reveals Adam Hochschild’s journalism in all its glory. His facts are like jewels\, luminous in their importance. As a reporter and historian\, he turns facts into stories so dynamic and vivid that I couldn’t put the book down. This is important work by a gifted writer at the top of his game.”—Elizabeth Farnsworth\, author\, filmmaker\, former chief correspondent\, PBS NewsHour \n“Lessons From a Dark Time is an elegant collection that showcases all of Adam Hochschild’s singular talents as a master essayist\, historian\, literary critic\, and narrative writer. In search of a fair and humane world\, he tackles big issues of social injustice by focusing on particular people\, giving us their lives and travails with the grace and nuance of a wise storyteller. These pieces are special and enduring—a chronicle of our time\, past and present\, told always on an intimate human scale.”—Barry Siegel\, Pulitzer Prize winner; Director\, Literary Journalism Program\, University of California\, Irvine \n“Lessons from a Dark Time offers us an inspiring but clear-eyed perspective on what has been—and what can be—accomplished through resistance\, persistence\, and vision. A wonderful book for our time.”—Eric Stover\, Faculty Director of the Human Rights Center at the University of California\, Berkeley and coauthor of Hiding in Plain Sight: The Pursuit of War Criminals from Nuremberg to the War on Terror \n“One wanders through this collection like the proverbial kid in a candy store. All the essential issues of our time are here\, from colonialism to surveillance to development to McCarthyism to the life of the revolutionary\, all shaped brilliantly into unforgettable stories\, all brightly illuminated by Hochschild’s bracing intelligence and sparkling prose. Start at Kerala or the Congo and finish in Catalonia or Berkeley. Dip in here and there\, or read straight from first page to last. Whatever path you take\, Lessons from a Dark Time is a delightful\, vital book.”—Mark Danner\, author of Spiral: Trapped in the Forever War \n“These timely\, trenchant essays offer a concentrated sample of Adam Hochschild’s unique gift for illuminating the history of present-day moral conflicts. Their range is amazing\, from the Congo to Siberia to Berkeley\, but they are united by Hochschild’s wry\, compassionate sensibility and voice.”—Robert Worth\, author of A Rage for Order: The Middle East in Turmoil\, from Tahrir Square to ISIS \n

SUMMARY:Sally McGrane
DESCRIPTION:Sally McGrane\n\n\nClement: Sally McGrane\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, November 1\, 2018 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event will be held at our Clement St. location. \nSally McGrane discusses her new novel\, Moscow at Midnight. \n\nPraise for Moscow at Midnight \n\n“Everyone’s talking about Russia but this is a book that really takes you there\, a crime thriller with a truly documentary eye\, full of insights about Russian people\, politics and culture- while never failing to intrigue and excite.” —Peter Pomerantsev\, author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible \n\n“A worthy successor to John le Carré . . . A fast-paced spy thriller\, full of unexpected twists and turns.” —Buchbord  \n\n“Great! Tense right up to the final page . . . A multi-layered\, thrilling novel that is difficult to resist and hard to put down\, even at the end.” —Süddeutsche Zeitung \n\nAbout Moscow at Midnight \n\nDownsized by the CIA\, Max Rushmore is re-hired by a private contractor—operating on a tightened budget in a world of ratcheting tensions—to return to Moscow and investigate the death of a beautiful nuclear waste disposal expert. But Max\, whose non-transferable skills include never having met a Russian he couldn’t drink under the table\, soon uncovers all sorts of inconsistencies: could it be that she is not dead at all? So begins a game of cat-and-mouse that takes the agent across Russia as he follows his only clue: a rare Siberian diamond. With all the breathless tension of classic espionage novels\, Moscow at Midnight is both humorous and utterly enthralling—a fast-paced page-turner of the old school. \n

SUMMARY:9th Ave: Anita Felicelli and Peg Alford Pursell
DESCRIPTION:Anita Felicelli discusses her debut story collection\, Love Songs for a Lost Continent with Peg Alford Pursell. \n\nPraise for Love Songs for a Lost Continent \n\n“Love Songs for a Lost Continent is an expansive\, inventive meditation on the shifting landscape of identity\, on how people can be shaped and reshaped by violence and power and love. Anita Felicelli has a singular eye for the moments that transfigure lives\, and this tremendous debut collection announces the arrival of a stunning new voice.”– Laura van den Berg\, author of The Third Hotel \n  \n“Love Songs for a Lost Continent is the kind of work that we all need to be reading right now. Filled with heart and heat\, these beautiful stories pursue and reinvent ideas of home and self in ways that push our national conversation on identity.”- Bich Minh Nguyen\, author of Pioneer Girl and Stealing Buddha’s Dinner \n  \n“[This is] the book we needed to read yesterday… a book we will still be reading tomorrow.”- Porochista Khakpour\, author of Sick and Sons and Other Flammable Objects \n\nAbout Love Songs for a Lost Continent \n\nAnita Felicelli’s debut collection delivers a dazzling array of precisely drawn characters searching for identity in the seemingly narrow spaces of their everyday lives. \n  \nFrom the glittering heat of India to the palm-lined streets of Silicon Valley\, the backwoods of Kentucky to the vanilla-bean fields of Madagascar\, immigrants\, daughters\, and lovers explore what it means to lose and to love\, to continually reinvent oneself while honoring the personal histories and lost continents that shape us all.
