SUMMARY:Liska Jacobs: The Worst Kind of Want
DESCRIPTION:Liska Jacobs discusses her new novel\, The Worst Kind of Want with Rita Bullwinkel. \nAbout The Worst Kind of Want \nA trip to Italy reignites a woman’s desires to disastrous effect in this dark ode to womanhood\, death\, and sex \nTo cool-headed\, fastidious Pricilla Messing\, Italy will be an escape\, a brief glimpse of freedom from a life that’s starting to feel like one long decline. \nRescued from the bedside of her difficult mother\, forty-something Cilla finds herself called away to Rome to keep an eye on her wayward teenage niece\, Hannah. But after years of caregiving\, babysitting is the last thing Cilla wants to do. Instead she throws herself into Hannah’s youthful\, heedless world—drinking\, dancing\, smoking—relishing the heady atmosphere of the Italian summer. After years of feeling used up and overlooked\, Cilla feels like she’s coming back to life. But being so close to Hannah brings up complicated memories\, making Cilla restless and increasingly reckless\, and a dangerous flirtation with a teenage boy soon threatens to send her into a tailspin. \nWith the sharp-edged insight of Ottessa Moshfegh and the taut seduction of Patricia Highsmith\, The Worst Kind of Want is a dark exploration of the inherent dangers of being a woman. In her unsettling follow-up to Catalina\, Liska Jacobs again delivers hypnotic literary noir about a woman whose unruly desires and troubled past push her to the brink of disaster.

SUMMARY:Marilyn Chin & Genny Lim
DESCRIPTION:CO-SPONSORED BY PEN WEST \nMARILYN CHIN’s new book of poems is A Portrait of the Self as Nation: New and Selected Poems. Adrienne Rich said\, “Marilyn Chin’s poems excite and incite the imagination through their brilliant cultural interfacings\, their theatre of anger\, ‘fierce and tender\,’ their compassion\, and their high mockery of wit.” Born in Hong Kong\, currently living in San Diego\, she is the author of four previous poetry collections and a novel. Widely anthologized\, in Best American Poetry\, The Norton Anthology of Literature by Women\, and elsewhere\, her honors include five Pushcart Prizes\, the PEN Oakland/Josephine Miles Literary Award\, and fellowships from the United States Artists Foundation and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. She serves as a chancellor of the Academy of American Poets. \nGENNY LIM—San Francisco Jazz Poet Laureate\, born in San Francisco—is the author of the poetry collections Winter Place\, Child of War\, and Paper Gods and Rebels. She also wrote the plays Paper Angels and Bitter Cane and the children’s book Wings for Lai-Ho\, among other works. Winner of the American Book Award in 1981\, she founded the theater company Paper Angels Productions\, later known as XX Theater\, and produced many experimental performance pieces. Recipient of the Bay Guardian Goldie for Local Discovery in 1991\, she went on to record and collaborate with musician-composers Jon Jang\, Francis Wong\, Anthony Brown\, the late Max Roach\, and Herbie Lewis. Her new poetry book KRA! is a power house political and historical\, biographical work invoking figures such as James Baldwin\, Amiri Baraka\, Francisco X. Alarcon\, Fred Ho\, and Alfonso Texidor\, and is a salute to Flint\, Michigan\, Standing Rock\, and Black Lives Matter.
