SUMMARY:Conversations with Authors - Gretchen Rubin (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:Gretchen Rubin‘s most recent release\, Outer Order\, Inner Calm is a lovely\, easy-to-use illustrated guide to decluttering that shows us how to take control of our stuff—and\, by extension\, our lives. \nGretchen Rubin knows firsthand that creating order can make our lives happier\, healthier\, more productive\, and more creative. But for most of us\, a rigid\, one-size-fits-all solution doesn’t work. When we tailor our approach to suit our own particular challenges and habits\, we can find inner calm. \nWith a sense of fun\, and a clear idea of what’s realistic for most people\, Rubin suggests dozens of manageable tips and tricks for creating a more serene\, orderly environment\, including: \n\nNever label anything “miscellaneous”\nAsk yourself\, “Do I need more than one?”\nDon’t aim for minimalism\nRemember: If you can’t retrieve it\, you won’t use it\nStay current with a child’s interests\nBeware the urge to “procrasticlear”\n\nBy getting rid of things we don’t use\, don’t need\, or don’t love\, we free our minds (and our shelves) for what we truly value. \nGretchen is also the author of the bestselling books The Happiness Project\, Happier at Home\, Better than Before\, and The Four Tendencies. She’s also written a bestselling biography of Winston Churchill\, Forty Ways to Look at Winston Churchill\, and one of John Kennedy\, Forty Ways to Look at JFK. She also hosts a popular\, award-winning podcast\, “Happier with Gretchen Rubin” and a blog\, where she writes about her daily adventures in happiness and habit-formation. She is also a regular columnist for O\, The Oprah Magazine and makes regular appearances on CBS This Morning. Before turning to writing\, Gretchen had a career in law. A graduate of Yale and Yale Law School\, she clerked for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal. She lives in New York City with her husband and two daughters. \n

SUMMARY:Gina Apostol
DESCRIPTION:Join Gina Apostol and friends for the launch party of the first ever US publication of Gina Apostol’s Philippine National Book Award–winning novel \nRevolution According to Raymundo Mata \npublished by Soho Press \n———- \nThis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Zoom platform.

Told in the form of a memoir\, the novel traces Mata’s childhood\, his education in Manila\, his love affairs\, and his discovery of the books of the man who becomes the nation’s great hero José Rizal (Rizal\, in real life\, is executed by the Spaniards for writing two great novels that spark revolution—the Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. At the time Rizal died\, he was working on a third novel\, Makamisa). \nRaymundo Mata’s autobiography\, however\, is de-centered by another story: that of the development of the book. In the foreword(s)\, afterword(s)\, and footnotes\, we see the translator Mimi C. Magsalin (a pseudonym)\, the rabid nationalist editor Estrella Espejo\, and the neo-Freudian psychoanalyst critic Dr. Diwata Drake make multiple readings of the Mata manuscript. Inevitably\, clashes between these readings occur throughout the novel\, and in the end the reader is on a wild chase to answer enduring questions: Does the manuscript contain Makamisa or is it Makamisa? Are the journals an elaborate hoax? And who is the perpetrator of the textual crime? \nIn this story about the love of books\, the story of a nation emerges. But what is a nation? What The Revolution According to Raymundo Mata imagines is that through acts of reading\, a nation is born. \nGina Apostol’s third book\, Gun Dealers’ Daughter\, won the 2013 PEN/Open Book Award and was shortlisted for the William Saroyan International Prize. Her first two novels\, Bibliolepsy and The Revolution According to Raymundo Mata\, both won the Juan Laya Prize for the Novel (Philippine National Book Award). She was writer-in-residence at Phillips Exeter Academy and a fellow at Civitella Ranieri in Umbria\, Italy\, among other fellowships. Her essays and stories have appeared in The New York Times\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, Foreign Policy\, Gettysburg Review\, Massachusetts Review\, and others. She lives in New York City and western Massachusetts and grew up in Tacloban\, Philippines. She teaches at the Fieldston School in New York City.
