SUMMARY:Discuss! The Contemporary Fiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a new book group at the Main Library. We meet every 2nd Wednesday of the month. Discuss! focuses on topical\, thought-provoking contemporary fiction. \nThe February selection is Sing\, Unburied\, Sing by Jesmyn Ward. In Jesmyn Ward’s first novel since her National Book Award-winning Salvage the Bones\, this singular American writer brings the archetypal road novel into rural twenty-first-century America. Drawing on Morrison and Faulkner\, The Odyssey and the Old Testament\, Ward gives us an epochal story\, a journey through Mississippi’s past and present that is both an intimate portrait of a family and an epic tale of hope and struggle.

SUMMARY:Freud's Bar - - All the Jazz w/Henry Markman\, MD
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS is pleased to host another installment of Freud’s Bar on Wednesday\, February 13th at 6:30pm. This week Henry Markmanwill present All That Jazz: The Therapy in Music\, The Music in Therapy. \nAre you interested in the world of psychology but afraid you may not understand all of the terms and jargon? Join us for monthly talks given by local Bay Area psychoanalysts. You don’t need to be a psychologist to check out Freud’s Bar. Just bring your interest and a friend! \nMusic is healing and enlivening\, as therapy can be. Part listening party\, part lecture\, we’ll look at what makes jazz and human conversation so meaningful and potentially freeing. “Communicate musicality\,” an idea derived from infant-parent studies\, is an intimate song without words – shared\nemotional narratives based on rhythm\, tone and gesture that are deeply pleasurable and creative. When it is flowing\, there is a sharing of rhythm that nurtures intimacy and creative expression in jazz and therapy. \n  \n  \nABOUT THE PRESENTER \nHenry Markman\, MD is a psychoanalyst working in Berkeley. He has written and taught seminars on aesthetic experience\, beauty\, music and psychoanalysis\, and various aspects of therapeutic technique and theory. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nWednesday\, February 13\, 2019 – 6:30pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrowse For Books\n\nPeruse our shelves \n\n\n\nOur Customers Have Great Taste!\n\n  \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNewsletter\n\nSign up \n\n\n\nAudio\n\nYour audiobook needs await you at Libro.fm \nCouldn’t make it to an event?

SUMMARY:Tara Conklin\, The Last Romantics
DESCRIPTION:The New York Times bestselling author of The House Girl explores the lives of four siblings in this ambitious and absorbing novel in the vein of Commonwealth and The Interestings. “Tara Conklin is a generous writer who deftly brings us into the world of this fictional family\, an engrossing and vivid place where I was happy to stay. The Last Romantics is a richly observed novel\, both ambitious and welcoming.” —Meg Wolitzer \n“The greatest works of poetry\, what makes each of us a poet\, are the stories we tell about ourselves. We create them out of family and blood and friends and love and hate and what we’ve read and watched and witnessed. Longing and regret\, illness\, broken bones\, broken hearts\, achievements\, money won and lost\, palm readings and visions. We tell these stories until we believe them.” \nWhen the renowned poet Fiona Skinner is asked about the inspiration behind her iconic work\, The Love Poem\, she tells her audience a story about her family and a betrayal that reverberates through time. \nIt begins in a big yellow house with a funeral\, an iron poker\, and a brief variation forever known as the Pause: a free and feral summer in a middle-class Connecticut town. Caught between the predictable life they once led and an uncertain future that stretches before them\, the Skinner siblings–fierce Renee\, sensitive Caroline\, golden boy Joe and watchful Fiona–emerge from the Pause staunchly loyal and deeply connected. Two decades later\, the siblings find themselves once again confronted with a family crisis that tests the strength of these bonds and forces them to question the life choices they’ve made and ask what\, exactly\, they will do for love. \nA sweeping yet intimate epic about one American family\, The Last Romantics is an unforgettable exploration of the ties that bind us together\, the responsibilities we embrace and the duties we resent\, and how we can lose–and sometimes rescue–the ones we love. A novel that pierces the heart and lingers in the mind\, it is also a beautiful meditation on the power of stories–how they navigate us through difficult times\, help us understand the past\, and point the way toward our future. \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. If you have an ADA accommodation request\, please email info@bookshopsantacruz.com by February 11th. \nTara Conklin has worked as a litigator in the New York and London offices of a corporate law firm but now devotes her time to writing fiction. She received a BA in history from Yale University\, a JD from New York University School of Law\, and a Master of Arts in Law and Diplomacy from the Fletcher School at Tufts University. Born in St. Croix\, she grew up in Massachusetts and now lives with her family in Seattle\, Washington.

SUMMARY:How 1960's Students Fought to Create A Better World - The Intriguing Story of the SDS
DESCRIPTION:The contributors in this book were mostly members of WSA. These accounts are both optimistic\, from those still inspired\, and bitter\, from those now critical of their involvement. The stories they tell speak across the years\, as a new generation–from Black Lives Matter to Fight for $15 to the Parkland students–faces decisions about how to organize and build alliances to stop wars abroad\, confront racial oppression at home\, fight for immigrant rights\, and end violence and neoliberal exploitation.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToday\, Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) is often portrayed as the drama of the good early 1960s SDS turning into Weatherman\, the small faction whose story ended in a bombed-out New York townhouse. \nIn his book You Say You Want A Revolution: SDS\, PL\, and Adventures in Building a Worker-Student Alliance\, author John Levin shows the reality was quite different. SDS at its apex in 1968/69 numbered 100\,000 students whose political views reflected a rainbow of ideologies exploring what a new American left could be with a willingness to risk everything to stop the war in Vietnam and achieve social justice. When SDS splintered in June 1969\, a majority of the delegates supported the program of its Worker-Student Alliance caucus: building a strategic alliance between students and the working class to achieve the movement’s goals.
