SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Jennifer Rosner with Kate Quinn / The Yellow Bird Sings
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith and The Bindery host Jennifer Rosner for her debut novel\, The Yellow Bird Sings. She’ll be in conversation with Kate Quinn (The Huntress). Please join us! \nThis will be a virtual event\, which we will be streaming live on our Facebook page. \nFriends\, neighbors: We are pleased to be able to bring you some of our events virtually while our doors are otherwise closed in the interest of public health. If you’d like to support the store\, you can still do that in the usual ways: \n> Buy the book and we’ll deliver it directly to your door.\n> Buy one of our gift certificates\, which we keep on file and never expire.\n> Make a donation. \nThank you very much for your support – we’re proud to be a legacy business and a mainstay of the Haight-Ashbury since 1976! \n\nAs Nazi soldiers round up the Jews in their town\, Róza and her 5-year-old daughter\, Shira\, flee\, seeking shelter in a neighbor’s barn. Hidden in the hayloft day and night\, Shira struggles to stay still and quiet\, as music pulses through her and the farmyard outside beckons. To soothe her daughter and pass the time\, Róza tells her a story about a girl in an enchanted garden: \nThe girl is forbidden from making a sound\, so the yellow bird sings. He sings whatever the girl composes in her head: high-pitched trills of piccolo; low-throated growls of contrabassoon. Music helps the flowers bloom. \nIn this make-believe world\, Róza can shield Shira from the horrors that surround them. But the day comes when their haven is no longer safe\, and Róza must make an impossible choice: whether to keep Shira by her side or give her the chance to survive apart. \nInspired by the true stories of Jewish children hidden during World War II\, Jennifer Rosner’s debut is a breathtaking novel about the unbreakable bond between a mother and a daughter. Beautiful and riveting\, The Yellow Bird Sings is a testament to the triumph of hope — a whispered story\, a bird’s song — in even the darkest of times.

SUMMARY:Sam Lansky - Broken People
DESCRIPTION:“He fixes everything that’s wrong with you in three days.” \nThis is what hooks Sam when he first overhears it at a fancy dinner party in the Hollywood hills: the story of a globe-trotting shaman who claims to perform “open-soul surgery” on emotionally damaged people. For neurotic\, depressed Sam\, new to Los Angeles after his life in New York imploded\, the possibility of total transformation is utterly tantalizing. He’s desperate for something to believe in\, and the shaman—who promises ancient rituals\, plant medicine and encounters with the divine—seems convincing\, enough for Sam to sign up for a weekend under his care. \nBut are the great spirits the shaman says he’s summoning real at all? Or are the ghosts in Sam’s memory more powerful than any magic? \nAt turns tender and acidic\, funny and wise\, Broken People is a journey into the nature of truth and fiction–a story of discovering hope amid cynicism\, intimacy within chaos and peace in our own skin. \nSam Lansky is the author of the critically acclaimed memoir The Gilded Razor and the West Coast editor at Time magazine. He’s written for New York magazine\, The Atlantic\, Esquire\, and Out. He lives in Los Angeles\, California. Read more at samlansky.com

SUMMARY:Ainissa Ramirez
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of her new book \nThe Alchemy of Us: How Humans and Matter Transformed One Another \nfrom The MIT Press \n————- \nThis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Crowdcast platform. You will need access to a computer or other device that is capable of accessing the internet. If you have not used Crowdcast before\, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Crowdcast. \n————- \n(Click Here) to make reservations \nEvent is free\, but reservations are required \n————- \nThe Book for this event may be purchased at this link : \n>Purchase THE ALCHEMY OF US here< \n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n————- \nIn the bestselling tradition of Stuff Matters and The Disappearing Spoon: a clever and engaging look at materials\, the innovations they made possible\, and how these technologies changed us. \nIn The Alchemy of Us\, scientist and science writer Ainissa Ramirez examines eight inventions—clocks\, steel rails\, copper communication cables\, photographic film\, light bulbs\, hard disks\, scientific labware\, and silicon chips—and reveals how they shaped the human experience. Ramirez tells the stories of the woman who sold time\, the inventor who inspired Edison\, and the hotheaded undertaker whose invention pointed the way to the computer. She describes\, among other things\, how our pursuit of precision in timepieces changed how we sleep; how the railroad helped commercialize Christmas; how the necessary brevity of the telegram influenced Hemingway’s writing style; and how a young chemist exposed the use of Polaroid’s cameras to create passbooks to track black citizens in apartheid South Africa. These fascinating and inspiring stories offer new perspectives on our relationships with technologies. \nRamirez shows how materials were shaped by inventors\, but also how those materials shaped culture\, chronicling each invention and its consequences—intended and unintended. Filling in the gaps left by other books about technology\, Ramirez showcases little-known inventors—particularly people of color and women—who had a significant impact but whose accomplishments have been hidden by mythmaking\, bias\, and convention. Doing so\, she shows us the power of telling inclusive stories about technology. She also shows that innovation is universal—whether it’s splicing beats with two turntables and a microphone or splicing genes with two test tubes and CRISPR. \nAinissa Ramirez is a materials scientist and sought-after public speaker and science communicator. A Brown and Stanford graduate\, she has worked as a research scientist at Bell Labs and held academic positions at Yale University and MIT. She has written for Time\, Scientific American\, the American Scientist\, and Forbes\, and makes regular appearances on PBS’s SciTech Now.

SUMMARY:Strange Hotel: Irish Literary Sensation Eimear McBride in conversation with Brooke Warner
DESCRIPTION:The trajectory of Eimear McBride’s career is an underdog’s dream: she spent six months writing her debut novel\, A Girl is a Half-Formed Thing\, and nine years trying to sell it\, only to take the literary scene by storm when it was finally published in 2013 to an avalanche of acclaim\, awards (including the Bailey’s Women’s Prize for Fiction)\, and rapturous comparisons to James Joyce and Samuel Beckett. Now\, McBride is joining Women Lit in a live virtual conversation with Brooke Warner\, publisher of She Writes Press and SparkPress\, in celebration of her eagerly awaited new novel\, Strange Hotel\, which further cements her singular place in the contemporary canon. As unforgettable as her debut\, McBride’s latest book depicts a rootless woman’s exile as she hotel-hops across the globe\, seeking to quash her ghosts and escape the dangers that haunt her.

This includes the Bay Area. Illustrations of this range from the more obvious neo-nazi hate groups to all-white reading lineups\, white terrorist shootings to labeling racial equity work in the literary community as censorship\, mass incarceration to the voices most often published. Nomadic Press unequivocally stands against all iterations of white supremacy. \nWe are works in progress\, continually doing the work of internally dismantling white supremacist values that have been inherited by virtue of being in the US. Simultaneous with this internal work\, Nomadic Press utilizes a racial equity lense (as proposed by Race Forward) to dismantle white supremacy within publishing and the literary communities in which we work. We are not perfect\, and we are always trying to be better. \nNomadic Press events are active\, real-time safe spaces for those who have been intentionally silenced and marginalized\, and we will work to ensure that the marginalized continue to take their rightful place in our communities. \nDirect and timely non-violent communication and de-escalation techniques will be utilized to privately call in instances of racism\, transphobia\, homophobia\, ableism\, or misogyny whether in the content of one’s reading or in one’s interactions with members of the community. If\, after being called in privately for a mediation\, a community member is unwilling to acknowledge and address the harm they have caused\, we will protect the safety of this space by revoking a reader’s access to the microphone. We encourage community members to come to us if someone has violated these guidelines away from the microphone. If the situation warrants (i. e.\, instances of sexual predation\, violence\, or threats of violence)\, we will make the information public to inform our communities of the present danger. \nWe are communities in progress. We must be better\, always\, and we ask that we work together to ensure that the safety of our most vulnerable members is prioritized above all else. \nRead more about our safe space process here: www.nomadicpress.org/safespaceprocess \nPoster by: Jevohn Tyler Newsome

SUMMARY:THE CHILL by Scott Carson | GGP Online Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Tuesday\, June 16\, 2020 at 7 PM PDT for a GGP Online Book Club discussion of Scott Carson’s new novel\, THE CHILL. \n“Wow! This is one terrific horror/suspense/disaster novel. Characters you root for and a story that grips from the first page.” —Stephen King \nPlease join us even if you have not read the book yet. We’ll play a sample from the audiobook from our audiobook partner\, Libro.fm. \nThe Zoom meeting will be at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83200265394. \nYou can order a hardcover of THE CHILL at bit.ly/GGPChillHC\, or an audiobook from Libro.fm\, GGP’s audiobook partner\, at bit.ly/ChillAB. \nDescription \n\n\n\n“Wow! This is one terrific horror/suspense/disaster novel. Characters you root for and a story that grips from the first page.” —Stephen King\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Institute \n“Horror has a new name and it’s Scott Carson. The Chill is an eerie dive into the murky depths of the supernatural. A story that has you looking back over your shoulder on every page.” —Michael Connelly\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Night Fire \n“A creepy tale of supernatural terror.” —Publishers Weekly\, starred review \nIn this terrifying thriller\, a supernatural force—set in motion a century ago—threatens to devastate New York City. \nFar upstate\, in New York’s ancient forests\, a drowned village lays beneath the dark\, still waters of the Chilewaukee reservoir. Early in the 20th century\, the town was destroyed for the greater good: bringing water to the millions living downstate. Or at least that’s what the politicians from Manhattan insisted at the time. The local families\, settled there since America’s founding\, were forced from their land\, but they didn’t move far\, and some didn’t move at all… \nNow\, a century later\, the repercussions of human arrogance are finally making themselves known. An inspector assigned to oversee the dam\, dangerously neglected for decades\, witnesses something inexplicable. It turns out that more than the village was left behind in the waters of the Chill when it was abandoned. The townspeople didn’t evacuate without a fight. A dark prophecy remained\, too\, and the time has come for it to be fulfilled. Those who remember must ask themselves: who will be next? For sacrifices must be made. And as the dark waters begin to inexorably rise\, the demand for a fresh sacrifice emerges from the deep…

We must be better\, always\, and we ask that we work together to ensure that the safety of our most vulnerable members is prioritized above all else. \nRead more about our safe space process here: www.nomadicpress.org/safespaceprocess \nPoster by: Jevohn Tyler Newsome
