SUMMARY:The Match Book: Tenderloin Historical Ephemera Project
DESCRIPTION:Join the Tenderloin Museum for the opening reception of our Matchbook Map Exhibit\, featuring a searchable\, interactive touchscreen map that connects matchbook imagery to historical info on the associated business and address\, and links to information about the present day site. We’ll be presenting this new permanent exhibit in conjunction with a temporary exhibit\, the Tenderloin Ephemera Exhibition\, featuring historical Tenderloin ephemera from the 1920’s-1950’s — including bar signs\, glassware\, postcards\, menus\, matchbooks et al. These small\, seemingly ordinary mementos beautifully encapsulate the Tenderloin’s colorful\, vibrant past. Join us and travel back in time through the neighborhood’s material culture. \n— \nThis event is part of The Tenderloin Match Book: Historical Ephemera Project a multi-faceted project that also encompasses the publication of The Match Book: Vintage Matchbooks from San Francisco’s Tenderloin\, an artfully designed history book of the Tenderloin featuring the matchbooks of local businesses and cultural institutions. \nThrough the everyday act of picking up a matchbook and striking a match\, one is transported to another place and time; the past is remembered through a pedestrian interaction with a tangible object. Matchbooks are emblems of local culture: accessible\, utilitarian ephemera that functioned as the chosen form of advertising for small businesses in an era before plastic lighters and health concerns about smoking. These ritual objects exist at a fascinating intersection of material culture\, local history\, and design art; matchbooks (and other local business ephemera) are striking populist artifacts that serve as portals to places and people in a neighborhood’s past. The Tenderloin Match Book: Historical Ephemera Project presents an illuminating new perspective on the Tenderloin’s often overlooked history\, enriches the detail and depth of the neighborhood’s narrative\, and encourages the Tenderloin community’s historical imagination. \nRSVP on Facebook

SUMMARY:NYMBC Presents KIERSTEN WHITE & ADRIENNE YOUNG at Palo Alto
DESCRIPTION:Not Your Mother’s Book Club presents New York Times-bestselling author Kiersten White in celebration of Slayer–book one in her brand-new series set in the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Kiersten will be in conversation with Adrienne Young\, author of the much-buzzed debut fantasy Sky in the Deep. \n\nAbout Slayer: Into every generation a Slayer is born…\nNina and her twin sister\, Artemis\, are far from normal. It’s hard to be when you grow up at the Watcher’s Academy\, which is a bit different from your average boarding school. Here teens are trained as guides for Slayers–girls gifted with supernatural strength to fight the forces of darkness. But while Nina’s mother is a prominent member of the Watcher’s Council\, Nina has never embraced the violent Watcher lifestyle. Instead she follows her instincts to heal\, carving out a place for herself as the school medic.\nUntil the day Nina’s life changes forever.\nThanks to Buffy\, the famous (and infamous) Slayer that Nina’s father died protecting\, Nina is not only the newest Chosen One–she’s the last Slayer\, ever. Period.\nAs Nina hones her skills with her Watcher-in-training\, Leo\, there’s plenty to keep her occupied: a monster fighting ring\, a demon who eats happiness\, a shadowy figure that keeps popping up in Nina’s dreams…\nBut it’s not until bodies start turning up that Nina’s new powers will truly be tested–because someone she loves might be next.\nOne thing is clear: Being Chosen is easy. Making choices is hard.\n\nAbout Sky in the Deep: A 2018 Most Anticipated Young Adult book that is part Wonder Woman\, part Vikings–and all heart.\nOND ELDR. BREATHE FIRE.\nRaised to be a warrior\, seventeen-year-old Eelyn fights alongside her Aska clansmen in an ancient\, rivalry against the Riki clan. Her life is brutal but simple: fight and survive. Until the day she sees the impossible on the battlefield–her brother\, fighting with the enemy–the brother she watched die five years ago.\nFaced with her brother’s betrayal\, she must survive the winter in the mountains with the Riki\, in a village where every neighbor is an enemy\, every battle scar possibly one she delivered. But when the Riki village is raided by a ruthless clan thought to be a legend\, Eelyn is even more desperate to get back to her beloved family.\nShe is given no choice but to trust Fiske\, her brother’s friend\, who sees her as a threat. They must do the impossible: unite the clans to fight together\, or risk being slaughtered one by one. Driven by a love for her clan and her growing love for Fiske\, Eelyn must confront her own definition of loyalty and family while daring to put her faith in the people she’s spent her life hating.

SUMMARY:ALISON HART at Books Inc. Alameda

This special event will include a Reader’s Theater performance featuring Alison Hart\, Lady H a.k.a. Haninah Abdullah\, Cynthia Onetta Toliver\, Robert Fisher\, Gloria Fisher\, and Keith Grier. \nA family saga: four generations of mixed-race African American\, Native American\, and Irish women experience intergenerational trauma as well as the healing brought by nature and music\, leading to triumphant resilience. \nMostly White begins in 1890 when Emma\, a mixed-race Native American and African American girl\, is beaten by nuns and confined in a closet for speaking her language at an Indian Residential school in Maine. From there\, a tale that spans four generations of women unfolds. Emma’s descendants suffer the effects of trauma\, poverty\, and abuse while fighting to form their own identities and honor the call of their ancestors. \n\nAlison Hart studied theater at New York University and later found her voice as a writer. She identifies as a mixed-race African American\, Passamaquoddy Native American\, Irish\, Scottish\, and English woman of color. Her poetry collection Temp Words was published by Cosmo Press in 2015\, and her poems appear in Red Indian Road West: Native American Poetry from California (Scarlet Tanager Books\, 2016) and elsewhere. Hart lives in Alameda\, California. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nThursday\, January 10\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc.\n1344 Park St\n\nAlameda\, CA

SUMMARY:Paul Skenazy\, Temper CA
DESCRIPTION:THURSDAY\, JANUARY 10\, 2019 – 7:00PM\n\n\n\n\n\nThis is an advanced event listing. Please check back for updated information\, or sign up for our events emails. \nThis free event will take place at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Chairs for open seating are usually set up about an hour before the event begins. \nIf you have ADA accommodation requests for this event\, please e-mail info@bookshopsantacruz.com by January 8th. \nJoy Temper grew up wandering the woods of Temper\, CA\, a Gold Rush town her family helped establish in the 1840s. When she returns to Temper for her grandfather’s funeral\, she discovers that the stories she’s long traded on about her hippie upbringing have little to do with reality. Her struggles to face who she once was\, and what she now desires\, force her to confront family secrets and long-suppressed memories in a novella both familial and romantic\, contemporary and historical. \n“Paul Skenazy’s fiction misbehaves. It swerves\, it revisits ground and digs deeper\, it confounds expectations. He has the gift of creating characters who are sympathetic not in spite of their prickliness but because of it\, and of depicting human bonds that are all the tenser for being so strong.”—Jonathan Franzen \n“This elegant and unforgettable novella pulls us into the secrets and desires of Joy Temper\, a woman carrying the weight of her family and a fair share of California history on her shoulders. Skenazy reminds us that our deepest wounds often make us most receptive and alive.”—Elizabeth McKenzie \n“This is a beautiful and fascinating book\, a skillfully constructed and dramatic story about hatred and profound affection within a difficult family. It’s a mystery tale about redefining a childhood and rediscovering many aspects of love. I was moved deeply throughout\, and consider Temper CA a small\, truly insightful and courageous masterpiece.”—John Nichols \nPaul Skenazy grew up in Chicago\, studied at the University of Chicago and Stanford\, and taught at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. He has published essays\, stories\, and reviews in a range of newspapers and magazines\, as well as critical work on James M. Cain and other noir writers. He lives in Santa Cruz with the poet Farnaz Fatemi.
