SUMMARY:WHEN WE RISE Publication Launch
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the launch of Cleve Jones‘ new memoir and get your signed copies! \nHosted by Juanita More\nDJ Tweaka Turner \nFood from Harvey’s\, Catch\, and Le Mediterranee. \nBy turns tender and uproarious\, When We Rise is Jones’ account of his remarkable life. He chronicles the heartbreak of losing countless friends to AIDS\, which very nearly killed him\, too; his co-founding of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation during the terrifying early years of the epidemic; his conception of the AIDS Memorial Quilt\, the largest community art project in history; the bewitching story of 1970s San Francisco and the magnetic spell it cast for thousands of young gay people and other misfits; and the harrowing\, sexy\, and sometimes hilarious stories of Cleve’s passionate relationships with friends and lovers during an era defined by both unprecedented freedom and possibility\, and prejudice and violence alike. \nWhen We Rise is not only the story of a hero to the LQBTQ community\, but the vibrantly voice memoir of a full and transformative American life–an activist whose work continues today. \nPreorder on Amazon today! \nhttps://www.amazon.com/When-We-Rise-Life-Movement/dp/0316315435

SUMMARY:Bill Ayers
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we welcome Bill Ayers\, here on a national tour to celebrate the release of his latest book\, Demand the Impossible!: A Radical Manifesto. \n  \nIn an era defined by mass incarceration\, endless war\, economic crisis\, catastrophic environmental destruction\, and a political system offering more of the same\, radical social transformation has never been more urgent. We must imagine a world beyond what this rotten system would have us believe is possible. \nIn critiquing the world around us\, Ayers uncovers cracks in the system\, raising our sights for radical change\, and envisioning strategies for building a movement to create a more humane\, balanced\, and peaceful world. \n  \n“For Bill Ayers\, it is the freedom of our collective imagination that links the contemporary world—ensconced as it is in pervasive militarism\, racist violence\, and environmental devastation—to the flourishing of our planet. This is a manifesto that should be read by everyone who wants to believe that “another world is possible.” — Angela Y. Davis\, author of Abolition Democracy and Freedom is a Constant Struggle \n“With huge numbers of us recognizing the need for transformative change\, this ambitious and exuberant book perfectly matches its historical moment. Ayers fearlessly confronts the intersecting crises of our age—endless war\, surging inequality\, unchecked white supremacy and perilous planetary warming—while mapping emancipatory new possibilities. From the first page\, his courage is contagious.” — Naomi Klein\, author of This Changes Everything and The Shock Doctrine \n“Demand the Impossible is more than a book\, more than a manifesto. It is a torch. Bill Ayers’ vision for a humane future is incendiary—fire that incinerates old logics and illuminates new paths. If we do not end the violence of militarism\, materialism\, caging\, dispossession\, debt\, want\, ignorance\, and global warming\, our very survival is impossible. Read aloud.” — Robin D. G. Kelley\, author of Freedom Dreams

SUMMARY:Michael McClure + Garrett Caples
DESCRIPTION:A landmark work of bio-romanticism\, Mephistos and Other Poems is the first completely new collection in five years from legendary Beat and SF Renaissance poet  Michael McClure. The title sequence\, “Mephistos\,” stems from McClure’s ongoing “grafting” experiment\, growing new poems from fragments of his older works. “Some Fringes” is a series of haiku-like nature poems\, while the 17-part “Rose Breaths” derives from the poet’s practice of meditation. The freestanding poems grouped under the title “Being” pay homage to many of McClure’s collaborators and fellow travelers\, such as Bruce Conner\, Terry Riley\, and Dave Haselwood. The book climaxes with “Song Heavy\,” recounting McClure’s recent encounter with a beached whale in Rockport\, MA\, and recalling his classic “For the Death of 100 Whales\,” which he read at the Six Gallery in 1955—the inaugural moment of American eco-poetics. \n Garrett Caples is the author of Power Ballads  (forthcoming from Wave Books\, 2016)\, Retrievals (2014)\, The Garrett Caples Reader (1999)\, Complications (2007)\, and Quintessence of the Minor (2010). He is the co-editor of The Collected Poems of Philip Lamantia (2013). He is the poetry editor at City Lights Books and curates the Spotlight Poetry Series there. He is also a contributing writer to the San Francisco Bay Guardian. He has written articles and blogged for the Poetry Foundation and occasionally blogs for blogcitylights.com. He has a Ph.D. in English from the University of California\, Berkeley\, and lives in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Michael Goorjian
DESCRIPTION:“Something in me knows of a life I was meant to live but for whatever reason\, I have not . . . ” \nIn What Lies Beyond the Stars\, these words ring painfully true for Adam Sheppard\, a San Francisco programmer who has spent the vast majority of his 30-something years lost in the dim glow of a computer screen. On the verge of a psychotic break\, Adam begins to have a recurring dream of his early childhood and the hauntingly rustic town of Mendocino California where he grew up. Convinced he has left something behind there\, something vital to his present sanity\, Adam walks away from his current life to figure out what that is. \nOne night on the cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean\, lost in thoughts of suicide\, Adam has a chance encounter with a mysterious woman. Later he realizes that she is Beatrice\, a long forgotten childhood friend whose fiery spirit and red hair had filled his young heart with immeasurable wonder. The coincidence of their reunion only deepens as Adam discovers that Beatrice has returned to Mendocino also due to a recurring dream\, eerily similar to his own. \nAre they lost soul mates drawn together through time and space? As Adam begins to hope that his life could be more than a bleak virtual wasteland\, he finds himself a pawn in a game that pits dark forces against those few quixotic souls who still search for meaning\, beauty\, and magic in the world. \nMichael Goorjian is an Emmy Award–winning actor\, filmmaker\, and writer. His acting credits include Party of Five\, Leaving Las Vegas\, and SLC Punk. As a filmmaker\, he achieved widespread recognition for his first major independent film\, Illusion\, starring Kirk Douglas. Other directing credits include the Louise Hay documentary\, You Can Heal Your Life\, Wayne Dyer’s l’m The Shift\, and the Hay House film anthology\, Tales of Everyday Magic. Michael lives in Oakland\, California.

SUMMARY:Michael Chabon
DESCRIPTION:DIESEL\, A Bookstore in Oakland warmly welcomes Michael Chabon back to the store to discuss and sign his new book\, Moonglow on Wednesday\, December 14th at 7:00pm. **Please note** This is a ticketed event. Attendance to this event is free\, but each copy of Moonglow purchased reserves one seat. Reserved seats are held until the start of the event\, at which point standing guests are invited to fill vacant places. Please contact DIESEL at 510-653-9965 with questions. \nFollowing on the heels of his New York Times bestselling novel Telegraph Avenue\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Chabon delivers another literary masterpiece: a novel of truth and lies\, family legends\, and existential adventure and the forces that work to destroy us. \nIn 1989\, fresh from the publication of his first novel\, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh\, Michael Chabon traveled to his mother’s home in Oakland\, California\, to visit his terminally ill grandfather. Tongue loosened by powerful painkillers\, memory stirred by the imminence of death\, Chabon’s grandfather shared recollections and told stories the younger man had never heard before\, uncovering bits and pieces of a history long buried and forgotten. That dreamlike week of revelations forms the basis for the novel Moonglow. \nMoonglow unfolds as the deathbed confession of a man the narrator refers to only as my grandfather. It is a tale of madness\, of war and adventure\, of sex and marriage and desire\, of existential doubt and model rocketry\, of the shining aspirations and demonic underpinnings of American technological accomplishment at midcentury\, and\, above all\, of the destructive impact and the creative power of keeping secrets and telling lies. It is a portrait of the difficult but passionate love between the narrator’s grandfather and his grandmother\, an enigmatic woman broken by her experience growing up in war-torn France. It is also a tour de force of speculative autobiography in which Chabon devises and reveals a secret history of his own imagination. \nFrom the Jewish slums of prewar South Philadelphia to the invasion of Germany\, a Florida retirement village to the penal utopia of New York’s Wallkill prison\, and from the heyday of the space program to the twilight of the American Century\, the novel revisits an entire era through a single life and collapses a lifetime into a single week. A lie that tells the truth\, a work of fictional nonfiction\, an autobiography wrapped in a novel disguised as a memoir\, Moonglow is Chabon at his most moving and inventive. \nMichael Chabon is the bestselling and Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh\, A Model World\, Wonder Boys\, Werewolves in Their Youth\, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay\, Summerland\, The Final Solution\, The Yiddish Policemen’s Union\, Maps & Legends\, Gentlemen of the Road\, Telegraph Avenue\, and the picture book The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man. He lives in Berkeley\, California\, with his wife\, the novelist Ayelet Waldman\, and their children.
