SUMMARY:The Bushwick Book Club Oakland - - There\, There
DESCRIPTION:EAST BAY BOOKSELLERS is excited to welcome The Bushwick Book Club Oakland on Sunday\, November 3rd\, from 6:30-8 pm (doors at 6). \n**Please Note** This event will take place after the store’s regular Sunday hours (10 am-6 pm). Attendees of the event are welcome to shop before or after but we will not be open to regular browsing in order to minimize disruption to the performances. \n\n\n\nThe Bushwick Book Club was started in 2009 by Brooklyn based singer-songwriter\, Susan Hwang.  At every Bushwick Book Club performance\, a book is selected\, and a collection of local musicians read the book and write songs inspired by them.  Over the past decade\, branches of the book club have sprouted all over the world\, in cities such as Portland\, LA\, Seattle\, Malmo\, Sweden\, Santa Barbara\, New Orleans\, Greenville\, SC and Toronto\, Canada. \n​Now\, Oakland\, CA has its very own Bushwick Book Club!  BBC Oakland specifically selects literature written by authors of color and members of LGBTQ communities. Each season a book is chosen and group of select singer-songwriters and composers read the book\, write a song inspired by it\, and perform their pieces for an audience of enthusiastic book people.  Bushwick Book Club Oakland selects books that take up issues of race\, gender\, class\, and mental health giving a place for artists of these communities to share their voices to an audience of similar representation and allies. Audience members are welcomed to read the book ahead of time for added fun. \nFor more information click here. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE BOOK \nThere There lives and breathes its setting — the streets and neighborhoods of Oakland — and is a full-throated voicing of the urban Native American experience(s). A brutal history has made for a painful present that is as complex as the people living it. The characters in There There are angry\, funny\, heartbroken\, and their stories are woven together by having been silenced — their tongues and heads removed in past lives unseen in the present. What of their futures? \n— Brad \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nSunday\, November 3\, 2019 – 6:30pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618

SUMMARY:Mimi Lok: Last of Her Name
DESCRIPTION:Mimi Lok discusses her new book\, Last Of Her Name\, with Rachel Khong. \nPraise for Last Of Her Name \n“Last of Her Name is a mesmerizing and deeply felt debut that affirms all that is great about short fiction. Lok’s collection brings startling intimacy to her characters\, all of them struggling with dislocation and belonging. “Woman in the Closet\,” has to be considered a new classic. I can’t think of a collection that better speaks to this moment of global movement and collective rupture from homes and history\, and the struggle to find meaning despite it all.”— DAVE EGGERS\, author of The Parade \n“What a basket of jewels! Each of these stories is elegant\, poignant and multi-faceted. A true pleasure.”— GISH JEN\, author of The Girl at the Baggage Claim \n“A truly beautiful and wide ranging collection. There is love\, longing\, grief\, displacement\, endurance. And from the gut punch of the opening story to the wonderful novella that anchors the book\, not a word is wasted. So many lines spoke directly in my ear: “Night after night they sleep\, but rarely at the same time. Without knowing it they take turns watching each other.” A book to stay up with\, a book that will make you not want to sleep..”— PETER ORNER\, author of Maggie Brown & Others \nAbout Last Of Her Name \nLAST OF HER NAME is an eye-opening story collection about the intimate\, interconnected lives of diasporic women and the histories they are born into. Set in a wide range of time periods and locales\, including 80s UK suburbia\, WWII Hong Kong and urban California\, LAST OF HER NAME features an eclectic cast of outsiders: among them\, an elderly housebreaker\, wounded lovers\, and kung-fu fighting teenage girls. \nIn the novella “The Woman In The Closet\,” a homeless woman finds refuge in the unlikeliest of places\, while in “Motet”\, a teenage girl navigates art and emotional allegiances with her ex-opera singer stepmother. In “The Wrong Dave\,” a soon-to-be-married architect takes up a covert correspondence with a grief-stricken woman who may or may not be writing to the right person. “Wedding Night” centers on an unconventional romance threatened by societal mores. The title story follows the parallel\, interweaving journeys of a mother and daughter as they grapple with their respective foes\, taking us from the suburbs of England to a Chinese village on the eve of World War II\, and exploring the hidden lives and secret histories within an immigrant family. Collectively\, LAST OF HER NAME offers a unique exploration of love\, longing\, and endurance.
