SUMMARY:Trina Robbins + Artists
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith is excited to host author Trina Robbins for her new graphic novel\, A Minyen Yidn! Also in attendence will be a few of the artists that contributed to the work: Steve Leialoha\, Caryn Leschen\, and Robert Triptow. Please join us! \nA Minyen Yidn is based on the 1938 memoir of Trina Robbin’s father\, Muttel (Mutye) Perechudnik\, and was originally published in Yiddish. This memoir features a collection of 13 stories drawn from Muttel’s (later Max Perlson’s) life growing up in a shtetl in Belarus and immigrating to Brooklyn in the late 1910s at the age of 16. Here he became a journalist\, contributing short stories in Yiddish to Jewish newspapers. The memoir has been translated to English and adapted to graphic novel format by his daughter\, Trina Robbins\, who says of the stories within: “They are slyly humorous portraits of his little village in Belarus\, and of life in Brooklyn after he came to America. It’s a snapshot of a way of life that would end with the coming of the Nazis and WW2\, although none of them knew it yet.” \nThe cover was drawn by famed underground comic artist Barbara Mendes and each of the 13 stories was recreated visually by the following artists: Shary Flenniken\, Eve Furchgott\, Miriam Katin\, Miriam Libicki\, Michael Netzer\, Anne Timmons\, Robert Triptow\, Jen Vaughn\, Steve Leialoha\, Elizabeth Watasin\, Caryn Leschen\, Joan Steacy\, Ken Steacy\, and Terry Laban.

SUMMARY:Kevin Kwan: Rich People Problems
DESCRIPTION:Kevin Kwan\, bestselling author of Crazy Rich Asians and China Rich Girlfriend\, is back with an uproarious new novel of a family riven by fortune\, an ex-wife driven psychotic with jealousy\, a battle royal fought through couture gown sabotage\, and the heir to one of Asia’s greatest fortunes locked out of his inheritance. \nWhen Nicholas Young hears that his grandmother\, Su Yi\, is on her deathbed\, he rushes to be by her bedside—but he’s not alone. The entire Shang-Young clan has convened from all corners of the globe to stake claim on their matriarch’s massive fortune. With each family member vying to inherit Tyersall Park—a trophy estate on 64 prime acres in the heart of Singapore—Nicholas’s childhood home turns into a hotbed of speculation and sabotage. As her relatives fight over heirlooms\, Astrid Leong is at the center of her own storm\, desperately in love with her old sweetheart Charlie Wu\, but tormented by her ex-husband—a man hell bent on destroying Astrid’s reputation and relationship. Meanwhile Kitty Pong\, married to China’s second richest man\, billionaire Jack Bing\, still feels second best next to her new step-daughter\, famous fashionista Colette Bing. \nRich People Problems is a sweeping novel that takes us from the elegantly appointed mansions of Manila to the secluded private islands in the Sulu Sea\, from a kidnapping at Hong Kong’s most elite private school to a surprise marriage proposal at an Indian palace\, caught on camera by the telephoto lenses of paparazzi. Kevin Kwan’s hilarious\, gloriously wicked new novel reveals the long-buried secrets of Asia’s most privileged families and their rich people problems. \nKevin Kwan is the author of the international bestsellers Crazy Rich Asians\, soon to be a major motion picture\, and China Rich Girlfriend. Born in Singapore\, he has called New York’s West Village home since 1995.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi: Kintu
DESCRIPTION:DIESEL\, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes Jennifer Nansubuga Makumbi to the store to discuss and sign Kintu\, on Thursday\, June 8th at 7:00 pm. She will be in conversation with DIESEL bookseller Aaron Bady\, who also wrote the introduction. \nFirst published in Kenya in 2014 to critical and popular acclaim\, Kintu is a modern classic\, a multilayered narrative that reimagines the history of Uganda through the cursed bloodline of the Kintu clan. Divided into six sections\, the novel begins in 1750\, when Kintu Kidda sets out for the capital to pledge allegiance to the new leader of the Buganda Kingdom. Along the way\, he unleashes a curse that will plague his family for generations. In an ambitious tale of a clan and a nation\, Makumbi weaves together the stories of Kintu’s descendants as they seek to break from the burden of their shared past and reconcile the inheritance of tradition and the modern world that is their future.

SUMMARY:Laleh Khadivi
DESCRIPTION:in conversation with Micheline Aharonian Marcom  \ncelebrating the release of \nA Good Country \nBy Laleh Khadivi \nfrom Bloomsbury Publishing \nA timely novel about the radicalization of a Muslim teen in California–about where identity truly lies\, and how we find it. \nLaguna Beach\, California\, 2010. Alireza Courdee\, a fourteen-year-old straight-A student and chemistry whiz\, takes his first hit of pot. In as long as it takes to inhale and exhale\, he is transformed from the high-achieving son of Iranian immigrants into a happy-go-lucky stoner. He loses his virginity\, takes up surfing\, and sneaks away to all-night raves. For the first time\, Reza–now Rez–feels like an American teen. Life is smooth; even lying to his strict parents comes easily. \nBut then he changes again\, falling out with the bad boy surfers and in with a group of kids more awake to the world around them\, who share his background\, and whose ideas fill him with a very different sense of purpose. Within a year\, Reza and his girlfriend are making their way to Syria to be part of a Muslim nation rising from the ashes of the civil war. \nTimely\, nuanced\, and emotionally forceful\, A Good Country is a gorgeous meditation on modern life\, religious radicalization\, and a young man caught among vastly different worlds. What we are left with at the dramatic end is not an assessment of good or evil\, east versus west\, but a lingering question that applies to all modern souls: Do we decide how to live\, or is our life decided for us? \nLaleh Khadivi was born in Esfahan\, Iran\, in 1977. In the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution her family fled\, finally settling in Canada and then the United States. Khadivi received her MFA from Mills College and was a Creative Writing Fellow in Fiction at Emory University. In 2008 she received The Whiting Writers’ Award. In 2009 she published her first novel The Age of Orphans. Laleh Khadivi lives in California. \nMicheline Aharonian Marcom  is the author of five books including the critically acclaimed trilogy of novels: Three Apples Fell from Heaven (2001)\, The Daydreaming Boy (2004) which earned her the 2004 Lannan Literary Fellowship as well as the 2005 PEN/USA Award for Fiction\, and Draining the Sea (2008). She currently teaches Creative Writing at Mills College and is also on the faculty of the Goddard College MFA in Creative Writing Program. \n  \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Jenny Forrester + Ariel Gore
DESCRIPTION:Jenny Forrester in conversation with Ariel Gore about her memoir\, Narrow River\, Wide Sky \n\nPraise for Jenny Forester \n\nNarrow River\, Wide Sky unwrites the story of family and America through the flutter of hearts beating or beaten up\, through a skull on the piano\, through the desert of our longings into the river of our sorrow—or is it hope\, or maybe love\, that keeps us alive in spite of ourselves. Jenny Forrester has hit the mother lode. –-Lidia Yuknavitch\, author of The Chronology of Water and The Small Backs of Children \n\nForrester’s debut memoir is a lyrical account of coming of age as a woman in the West. Amid urgent geography\, aching choices\, and uncertain faith\, Forrester explores the moments and forces that hold us together and shape our lives. This family flickers on the page like a constellation; Forrester is both a star unto herself and an inextricable part of the glowing whole. — Megan Kruse\, author of Call Me Home \n\nA taut memoir about coming of age in the middle of nowhere where there are no minor decisions. Narrow River\, Wide Sky is a haunting\, intimate visit to the unforgiving landscape of life. –-Mark Russell\, author of God Is Disappointed in You and Apocrypha Now \n\n\nAbout Narrow River\, Wide Sky \n\nOn the Colorado Plateau between slot canyons and rattlesnakes\, Jenny Forrester grew up with her mother and brother in a single-wide trailer proudly displaying an American flag. Forrester’s powerfully eloquent story reveals a rural small town comprising God-fearing Republicans\, ranchers\, Mormons\, and Native Americans. With sensitivity and resilience\, Forrester navigates feelings of isolation\, an abusive boyfriend\, sexual assault\, and a failed college attempt to forge a separate identity. As young adults\, after their mother’s accidental death\, Forrester and her brother are left with an increasingly strained relationship that becomes a microcosm of America’s political landscape. Narrow River\, Wide Sky is a breathtaking\, determinedly truthful story about one woman’s search for identity within the mythology of family and America itself.

SUMMARY:Thad Carhart
DESCRIPTION:Thad Carhart reads from his delightful memoir\, Finding Fontainebleau: An American Boy in France\, just out in paperback. \n\n\n\n\n“While bringing alive this redolent Gallic chapter of his boyhood (baguettes from the boulangerie; inkwells and laborious handwriting exercises at school)\, Mr. Carhart also resurrects the mood and mores of a particular window in time: the 1950s of Ike and Elvis’s America\, and postwar France. . . . Like the castle\, his memoir imaginatively and smoothly integrates multiple influences\, styles and whims.”–The New York Times \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor a young American boy in the 1950s\, Fontainebleau was a sight both strange and majestic\, home to a continual series of adventures: a different language to learn\, weekend visits to nearby Paris\, family road trips to Spain and Italy. Then there was the chateau itself: a sprawling palace once the residence of kings\, its grounds the perfect place to play hide-and-seek. The curiosities of the small town and the time with his family as expats left such an impression on him that thirty years later Carhart returned to France with his wife to raise their two children. Touring Fontainebleau again as an adult\, he began to appreciate its influence on French style\, taste\, art\, and architecture. Each trip to Fontainebleau introduces him to entirely new aspects of the chateau’s history\, enriching his memories and leading him to Patrick Ponsot\, the head of the chateau’s restoration\, who becomes Carhart’s guide to the hidden Fontainebleau. \nWhat emerges is an intimate chronicle of a time and place few have experienced. In warm\, precise prose\, Carhart reconstructs the wonders of his childhood as an American in postwar France\, attending French schools with his brothers and sisters. His firsthand account brings to life nothing less than France in the 1950s\, from the parks and museums of Paris to the rigors of French schooling to the vast chateau of Fontainebleau and its village\, built\, piece by piece\, over many centuries. Finding Fontainebleau is for those captivated by the French way of life\, for armchair travelers\, and for anyone who has ever fallen in love with a place they want to visit over and over again. \nThe son of an air force officer\, Thad Carhart grew up in a variety of places\, including Washington\, D.C.; Fontainebleau\, France; Minneapolis; Amherst\, Massachusetts; and Tokyo. After graduating from Yale\, he worked for the State Department as an interpreter. He is also the author of The Piano Shop on the Left Bank and Across the Endless River\, a historical novel. He lives in Paris.

SUMMARY:Annie Hartnett
DESCRIPTION:Annie Hartnett discusses her new novel\, Rabbit Cake\, with Ellen O’Connell Whittet. \nAbout Rabbit Cake \nFans of Maria Semple’s Where’d You Go Bernadette and and Celeste Ng’s Everything I Never Told You will delight in Annie Hartnett’s debut\, a darkly comic novel about a young girl named Elvis trying to figure out her place in a world without her mother. \nTwelve-year-old Elvis Babbitt has a head for the facts: she knows science proves yellow is the happiest color\, she knows a healthy male giraffe weighs about 3\,000 pounds\, and she knows that the naked mole rat is the longest living rodent. She knows she should plan to grieve her mother\, who has recently drowned while sleepwalking\, for exactly eighteen months. But there are things Elvis doesn’t yet know―like how to keep her sister Lizzie from poisoning herself while sleep-eating or why her father has started wearing her mother’s silk bathrobe around the house. Elvis investigates the strange circumstances of her mother’s death and finds comfort\, if not answers\, in the people (and animals) of Freedom\, Alabama. As hilarious a storyteller as she is heartbreakingly honest\, Elvis is a truly original voice in this exploration of grief\, family\, and the endurance of humor after loss \n

SUMMARY:Melodie Winawer: The Scribe of Siena
DESCRIPTION:Equal parts transporting love story and gripping historical conspiracy\, debut author Melodie Winawer takes readers deep into medieval Italy\, where the past and present blur and a twenty-first century woman will discover a plot to destroy Siena. \nAccomplished neurosurgeon Beatrice Trovato knows that her deep empathy for her patients is starting to impede her work. So when her beloved brother passes away\, she welcomes the unexpected trip to the Tuscan city of Siena to resolve his estate\, even as she wrestles with grief. But as she delves deeper into her brother’s affairs\, she discovers intrigue she never imagined—a 700-year-old conspiracy to decimate the city. \nAfter uncovering the journal and paintings of Gabriele Accorsi\, the fourteenth-century artist at the heart of the plot\, Beatrice finds a startling image of her own face and is suddenly transported to the year 1347. She awakens in a Siena unfamiliar to her\, one that will soon be hit by the Plague. \nYet when Beatrice meets Accorsi\, something unexpected happens: she falls in love—not only with Gabriele\, but also with the beauty and cadence of medieval life. As the Plague and the ruthless hands behind its trajectory threaten not only her survival but also Siena’s very existence\, Beatrice must decide in which century she belongs. \nThe Scribe of Siena is the captivating story of a brilliant woman’s passionate affair with a time and a place that captures her in an impossibly romantic and dangerous trap—testing the strength of fate and the bonds of love.

SUMMARY:Mark Hull
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of his new book \nMasquerade: Treason\, the Holocaust\, and an Irish Impostor \nco-authored by Mark Hull and Vera Moynes \nfrom University of Oklahoma Press \nPhyllis Ursula James. Nora O’Mara. Róisín Ní Mhéara. Like her name\, the life of Rosaleen James changed many times as she followed a convoluted path from abandoned child\, to foster daughter of an aristocratic British family\, to traitor during World War II\, to her emergence as a full Irish woman afterward. In Masquerade\, authors Mark M. Hull and Vera Moynes tell James’s story as it unfolds against the backdrop of the most important events of the twentieth century. James’s life—both real and imagined—makes for an incredible but true story. \nBy altering her identity to suit the situation\, James manipulated almost everyone she encountered: the German intelligence service\, the Nazi propaganda broadcasting service\, British intelligence\, and various Irish cultural groups. She was in a liaison with Irish writer Francis Stuart and\, with him\, provided a voice for Nazi radio programs aimed at neutral Ireland\, served as the pseudo-Irish expert for German espionage missions\, and participated in the failed\, almost comical effort to recruit Irish prisoners of war to join the Nazis against Great Britain—quite a series of performances\, considering her only contact with Ireland had been a weeklong visit in 1937. \nImmediately after the war\, James was wanted by British intelligence as a “renegade” (traitor)\, but her case was quickly squelched by the British government. Drawing on an assumed wartime persona\, she became fluent in Irish Gaelic and organized a number of conferences for which she won grants from the Irish government. James garnered wider attention in 1992 with her autobiography\, published in Gaelic\, in which she claimed that the Holocaust was a myth—a belief she maintained until her death in 2013. \nIn documenting James’s life of deception\, Hull and Moynes masterfully analyze how an intellectually gifted child turned traitor to her country and convincingly rebranded herself as an Irish patriot and intellectual\, while denying historical reality. The story of Rosaleen James reminds us that reality may be much less—or more—than what meets the eye and ear. \nMark M. Hull\, Associate Professor of Military History at the U.S Army Command and General Staff College\, Fort Leavenworth\, Kansas\, is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society\, an attorney\, and the author of Irish Secrets: German Espionage in Wartime Ireland\, 1939–1945.

SUMMARY:Philip Kobylarz + Renee Rettig
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith is excited to host Philip Kobylarz for his new book A Miscellany of Diverse Things. He’ll be in conversation with Renee Rettig. \nPlease note: this event will be held at the Bindery\, 1727 Haight St. in San Francisco. It is free and open to the public. Join us! \nThe essence of a miscellany of diverse things is not merely to catalog a wunderkammer of everyday objects\, but moreover to hold up a double mirror: one to reveal the interior lives of objects\, and another to reflect the depths of their creators and owners. Kobylarz’s poetry may initially elevate the mundane\, but its deepest design is to ask what the human possession divulges about the human being. The quotidian isn’t only ecstatic; the quotidian is a book of revelations. \nWith nods to Flaubert’s Le Dictionnaire des IdEes Recues and Bierce’s Devil’s Dictionary\, Kobylarz moves beyond a contained lexicon to a flung-open cabinet of curiosities. Encyclopedic in its compilation (more than 400 entries in this dictionary volume)\, miscellany avoids the static inventory list of a storehouse to embody the world as theatre. There are no museum exhibits\, with objects isolated and preserved in glass cases. Instead\, Kobylarz places spotlights on the minute\, under-appreciated\, and even unloved. He regards common objects as pearls within the world of an oyster\, but never forgets their genesis of grit and irritant.

SUMMARY:Alex Dimitrov + Randall Mann
DESCRIPTION:reading from new poetry \nTogether and by Ourselves \nby Alex Dimitrov  \nfrom Copper Canyon Press \n& \nProprietary: Poems \nby Randall Mann \nfrom Persea Press \nAbout Together and by Ourselves: \nTogether and by Ourselves\, Alex Dimitrov’s second book of poems\, takes on broad existential questions and the reality of our current moment: being seemingly connected to one another\, yet emotionally alone. Through a collage aesthetic and a multiplicity of voices\, these poems take us from coast to coast\, New York to LA\, and toward uneasy questions about intimacy\, love\, death\, and the human spirit. Dimitrov critiques America’s long-lasting obsessions with money\, celebrity\, and escapism—whether in our personal\, professional\, or family lives. What defines a life? Is love ever enough? Who are we when together and who are we by ourselves? These questions echo throughout the poems\, which resist easy answers. The voice is both heartfelt and skeptical\, bruised yet playful\, and always deeply introspective. \nAlex Dimitrov is the author of Together and by Ourselves (Copper Canyon Press\, 2017)\, Begging for It (Four Way Books\, 2013)\, and the online chapbook American Boys (Floating Wolf Quarterly\, 2012). He is the recipient of the Stanley Kunitz Prize from the American Poetry Review and a Pushcart Prize. His poems have been published in Poetry\, The Yale Review\, Kenyon Review\, Slate\, Tin House\, Boston Review\, and the American Poetry Review. He is the Senior Content Editor at the Academy of American Poets where he edits the popular online series Poem-a-Day and American Poets magazine. He has taught creative writing at Rutgers University-New Brunswick\, Marymount Manhattan College\, Bennington College\, and lives in New York City. \nvisit: http://alexdimitrov.tumblr.com/ \nAbout Proprietary: Poems: \nIn Proprietary\, Randall Mann critiques corporate culture\, depicting (and slyly rebuking) the American materialism that erupted in the 1980s and has metastasized ever since. For years\, Randall Mann has been hailed as one of contemporary American poetry’s most daring formalists\, expertly using craft as a way of exploring racy subjects with trenchant wit and aplomb. His new collection\, Proprietary\, depicts with the insights of a longtime insider the culture of corporate America\, in which he’s worked for years\, intertwined with some of his tried-and-true subjects\, including gay life in the wildly disparate worlds of San Francisco and northern Florida. \nRandall Mann is the author of Complaint in the Garden (2004)\, which won the Kenyon Review Prize in Poetry; Breakfast with Thom Gunn (2009)\, finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Gay Poetry and the California Book Award; Straight Razor (2013)\, also a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award; and Proprietary (2017). He is co-author of the textbook Writing Poems (2007). Mann received the 2013 J. Howard and Barbara M.J. Wood Prize from Poetry.

SUMMARY:Christopher Bernard w/ Keith Ekiss\, Clara Hsu\, + David Wong
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts local poet Christopher Bernard for his new book Chien Lunatique. With Christopher will be poets Keith Ekiss and Clara Hsu\, who will be joined by David Wong on the guqin. Join us for a night of poetry and music! \nLove\, Modernity\, and the Internet. Just who\, or what\, is Le Chien Lunatique? The poet driven out of his mind when faced with the catastrophe of the modern world? The modern world turned into a rabid canine when faced with the hopelessly idealistic poet? Or when it looks in the mirror and sees what it has become? \nThese poems—profound yet accessible\, contemporary yet classical\, eloquent and dynamic even when apparently most despairing—distill one poet’s somewhat jaundiced look at modernity\, from the Renaissance and the philosophical revolutions of the seventeenth century to the nihilism of post-modernism\, from the death of God to the bankruptcy of humanism\, from the midnight of the Enlightenment to the immortalized barbarism of the internet. Yet behind all of these poems\, supporting them like a hand\, lies the passion that drives all of existence\, old or new: the ferocious and uncompromising demands of love. \nA rabid dog eventually bites itself to death. So is there hope pour ce pauvre chien lunatique? Maybe there is. Maybe there isn’t. Only the future knows. It sits at your feet. Growling. \nChristopher Bernard is author of the novels A Spy in the Ruins andVoyage to a Forgotten Planet\, the short-story collections Dangerous Stories for Boys and In the American Night\, and The Rose Shipwreck: Poems and Photographs. He is co-editor of Caveat Lector and a regular contributor to Synchronized Chaos. Bernard writes fiction\, poetry\, essays\, plays\, and criticism. His poetry can be found online at The Bog of St. Philinte. He lives in San Francisco. \nKeith Ekiss is a Jones Lecturer in Creative Writing at Stanford University and a former Wallace Stegner Fellow in Poetry. He is the author of Pima Road Notebook(New Issues Poetry & Prose\, 2010) and translator of The Fire’s Journey\, an epic poem by the Costa Rican writer Eunice Odio in four volumes. Territory of Dawn: The Selected Poems of Eunice Odio was published in 2016 by The Bitter Oleander Press. \nClara Hsu practices the art of multidimensional being: mother\, piano teacher\, director of Clarion Music Performing Arts Center in San Francisco\, traveler\, translator\, and poet. Henry W Leung wrote in Lantern Review on her work: “Hsu…remains faithful to the sense in Chinese while also refreshing our English idiom.” But Clara likes to experiment and transform her translations into unique poetic expressions\, stunning in sound and form. She is currently finishing her translations of Lao-Tze’s Tao-te Ching\, taking the ancient texts for a wild ride in the twenty-first century. \nHailing from a long line of Chinese scholars\, David Wong has studied guqin (seven string zither)\, guzheng (Chinese table harp)\, pipa (Chinese lute)\, traditional Chinese painting\, and tea culture under masters in the United States and China. As a member of the San Francisco Gu-zheng Music Society’s youth ensemble\, with the support of guzheng virtuoso Liu Weishan\, Wong’s passion for teaching and introducing traditional Chinese culture lead to the establishment of Tranquil Resonance Studio\, which carries on the mission of passing along these ancient traditions to the greater community through lessons\, performances\, workshops and lectures throughout the bay area. In 2004 he received Honor awards and Outstanding Performance awards at the First International Guqin Competition held in Beijing.

SUMMARY:Thomas Centonella
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Centonella presents his new poetry collection\, Almost Human\, winner of the Dorset Prize\, selected by Edward Hirsch. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs in a profound love affair\, Thomas Centolella’s new poems register attraction\, delight\, expectations fulfilled and foiled\, and moments of great feeling cherished and/or lamented. Employing the vividness of narrative without yielding to its linear strictures and overly familiar tonalities\, many of the first person protagonists in Almost Human are mysterious figures at once engaging and idiosyncratic\, even outright eccentric. Often betwixt and between\, neither here nor there\, they are uncertain of actually getting anywhere. Almost Human documents the restive life-force incarnated in an endangered species—our own—and charts the movement of the self between spirit and human\, recalling the idea\, attributed to Teilhard de Chardin\, that we aren’t human beings having a spiritual experience but spiritual beings having a human experience. \nThomas Centolella has published three previous books of poetry: American Book Award-winner Terra Firma\, Lights & Mysteries\, and Views from Along the Middle Way. He was a Stegner Fellow at Stanford and has taught literature and creative writing at San Francisco State\, UC extension\, the College of Marin\, and in the California Poets in the Schools Program as well as for the Institute on Aging and WritersCorps. He lives in San Francisco.
