SUMMARY:Lynn Breedlove
DESCRIPTION:reading from his new book \n45 Thought Crimes \nfrom Manic D Press \n45 Thought Crimes conveys a lineage of resistance and places the reader squarely in the driver’s seat of their own destiny. During the Reagan and Bush years\, author Lynn Breedlove tried to ignore the political climate to focus on his own self destruction. When that didn’t work\, he got sober and committed his life to art. After publishing his first two books and spending a career on tour\, life took an unexpected turn. Breedlove spent the next decade caring and grieving for his mother\, and founding / running a nonprofit to serve his LGBT community. But when the world threatens to end\, the only moment that matters becomes now. Breedlove began writing this book the morning after the 2016 election\, at the dawn of the coup. Newly in love and acutely aware of what was at stake\, he questioned and confirmed life lessons learned\, with Prince\, Bowie\, Leonard Cohen\, and his ancestors as muses. \nLynn “Lynnee” Breedlove is the author of the novel Godspeed\, was the singer for the band Tribe 8\, and was the writer/performer of Lynnee Breedlove’s One Freak Show\, a comic solo show on gender and the ensuing book\, which won the 2010 Lambda Literary Award in the transgender category. He is the entrepreneurial founder of Homobiles\, the indie non-profit startup that’s a ride service for the LGBTIQQ community and its allies\, which\, along with his creative work\, won him the 2012 Harvey Milk LGBT Club Award for Activism. \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:RACHEL KLEINFELD at Books Inc. Berkeley
DESCRIPTION:Senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace Rachel Kleinfeld discusses her comprehensive work\, A Savage Order: How the World’s Deadliest Countries Can Forge a Path to Security. \nThe most violent places in the world today are not at war. More people have died in Mexico in recent years than in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. These parts of the world are instead buckling under a maelstrom of gangs\, organized crime\, political conflict\, corruption\, and state brutality. Such devastating violence can feel hopeless\, yet some places–from Colombia to the Republic of Georgia–have been able to recover. \nIn this powerfully argued and urgent book\, Rachel Kleinfeld examines why some democracies\, including our own\, are crippled by extreme violence and how they can regain security. Drawing on fifteen years of study and firsthand field research–interviewing generals\, former guerrillas\, activists\, politicians\, mobsters\, and law enforcement in countries around the world–Kleinfeld tells the stories of societies that successfully fought seemingly ingrained violence and offers penetrating conclusions about what must be done to build governments that are able to protect the lives of their citizens. \nTaking on existing literature and popular theories about war\, crime\, and foreign intervention\, A Savage Order is a blistering yet inspiring investigation into what makes some countries peaceful and others war zones\, and a blueprint for what we can do to help. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nWednesday\, April 3\, 2019 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nBooks Inc.\n1491 Shattuck Ave\n\nBerkeley\, CA

There she finds a band of misfit film buffs who care about movies (almost) as much as she does. \nShe also finds some shady financial dealings and the body of a murdered stranger. \nOh\, and then there’s Trixie\, the lively ghost of a 1930’s usherette who appears only to Nora and has a lot to catch up on.
