SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Michele Morano in conversation with Ryan Van Meter / Like Love
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith and The Bindery host Michele Morano for her new collection of essays Like Love. She’ll be in conversation with Ryan Van Meter (If You Knew Then What I Know Now). \nThis event is free and all ages\, but RSVP is required. \nYou can order Like Love here – we’re offering free shipping throughout San Francisco and the East Bay. \nInfatuations. Attractions. Unexpected allure. Entanglements steeped in taboo and disruption. In Like Love\, Michele Morano takes on the intrigues\, strangeness\, and lessons of unconsummated romance with humor and imagination. \nLike Love poignantly interweaves episodes from adulthood with the backstory of a young family’s turbulent breakup. When Morano was an adolescent in blue-collar Poughkeepsie\, New York\, her mother left her father for a woman in an era when LGBTQ parents were widely viewed as “unfit.” Through the turmoil\, adolescent Morano paid attention\, tucking away the stories that were shaping her and guiding her understanding of love. \nTurning romantic clichés inside out and challenging us to rethink our notions about what it means to love\, Like Love tells hard and necessary truths about the importance of desire in growing\, traveling\, mourning\, parenting\, and figuring out who you are in the world. With precision and depth\, Morano explores what it means to find ourselves in relationships that are not quite—but almost—like love. \nMichele Morano is the author of the travel memoir Grammar Lessons: Translating a Life in Spain. Her essays and short fiction have appeared in many journals and anthologies\, including Best American Essays\, Fourth Genre\, Ninth Letter\, and Waveform: Twenty-First-Century Essays by Women. Born and raised in Poughkeepsie\, New York\, Michele lives in Chicago\, where she chairs the English Department at DePaul University. Author photo by Kyle Brondeson. \nRyan Van Meter is the author of If You Knew Then What I Know Now\, as well as other essays published in magazines and selected for anthologies including The Best American Essays. He is an associate professor of creative writing at the University of San Francisco. Author photo by Bennett Honson. \nPlease Note: \n> This event is free and all ages\, but RSVP is required. \n> You can order Like Love here – we’re offering free shipping throughout San Francisco and the East Bay. \n

SUMMARY:Virtual Event: David Lazar and Joanna Eleftheriou
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Tuesday\, October 27 at 7pm PDT when David Lazar discusses his book Celeste Holm Syndrome: On Character Actors from Hollywood’s Golden Age with Joanna Eleftheriou on Zoom! \nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86726028401\nOr iPhone one-tap :\nUS: +16699009128\,\,86726028401#  or +13462487799\,\,86726028401#\nOr Telephone:\nDial(for higher quality\, dial a number based on your current location):\nUS: +1 669 900 9128  or +1 346 248 7799  or +1 253 215 8782  or +1 312 626 6799  or +1 646 558 8656  or +1 301 715 8592\nWebinar ID: 867 2602 8401\nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kdjIzCtyjv \nAbout Celeste Holm Syndrome \nIn this essay collection David Lazar looks to our intimate relationships with characters\, both well-known and lesser known\, from Hollywood’s Golden Age. Veering through considerations of melancholy and wit\, sexuality and gender\, and the surrealism of comedies of the self in an uncanny world\, mixed with his own autobiographical reflections of cinephilia\, Lazar creates an alluring hybrid of essay forms as he moves through the movies in his mind. Character actors from the classical era of the 1930s through the 1950s including Thelma Ritter\, Oscar Levant\, Martin Balsam\, Nina Foch\, Elizabeth Wilson\, Eric Blore\, Edward Everett Horton\, and the eponymous Celeste Holm all make appearances in these considerations of how essential character actors were\, and remain\, to cinema. \nPraise for Celeste Holm Syndrome \n“Well-observed reflections for true fans of the silver screen.”—Kirkus Reviews \n“Fans of Hollywood’s Golden Age will delight in this affecting look at what makes actors truly memorable\, even if they’re not in the spotlight.”—Publishers Weekly \n“This gorgeously written book makes many brilliant observations about the tiny nuances of ‘character actors’ and in so doing makes an unassailable case that because we are all bit players in the cosmic firmament\, ‘interesting and endearing people’ are immeasurably more compelling than ‘heroes’ (whoever they might be).”—David Shields\, author of The Trouble with Men: Reflections on Sex\, Love\, Marriage\, Porn\, and Power \n“A great book about character actors would be enough\, but Lazar’s imaginative and ingratiatingly erudite series of meditations is much more. The author spins sprightly essays from each subject\, allowing biography and personal speculation to reinforce and enrich each other. The sublime tribute to Oscar Levant and melancholia is\, as they say\, worth the price of admission.”—Molly Haskell\, author of From Reverence to Rape: The Treatment of Women in the Movies
