SUMMARY:Brit Bennett
DESCRIPTION:Set within a contemporary black community in Southern California\, Brit Bennett’s mesmerizing first novel is an emotionally perceptive story about community\, love\, and ambition. It begins with a secret. \n“All good secrets have a taste before you tell them\, and if we’d taken a moment to swish this one around our mouths\, we might have noticed the sourness of an unripe secret\, plucked too soon\, stolen and passed around before its season.” \nIt is the last season of high school life for Nadia Turner\, a rebellious\, grief-stricken\, seventeen-year-old beauty. Mourning her own mother’s recent suicide\, she takes up with the local pastor’s son. Luke Sheppard is twenty-one\, a former football star whose injury has reduced him to waiting tables at a diner. They are young; it’s not serious. But the pregnancy that results from this teen romance—and the subsequent cover-up—will have an impact that goes far beyond their youth. As Nadia hides her secret from everyone\, including Aubrey\, her God-fearing best friend\, the years move quickly. Soon\, Nadia\, Luke\, and Aubrey are full-fledged adults and still living in debt to the choices they made that one seaside summer\, caught in a love triangle they must carefully maneuver\, and dogged by the constant\, nagging question: What if they had chosen differently? The possibilities of the road not taken are a relentless haunt. \nIn entrancing\, lyrical prose\, The Mothers asks whether a “what if” can be more powerful than an experience itself. If\, as time passes\, we must always live in servitude to the decisions of our younger selves\, to the communities that have parented us\, and to the decisions we make that shape our lives forever. \nBrit Bennett graduated from Stanford University and later earned her MFA in fiction at the University of Michigan\, where she won a Hopwood Award in Graduate Short Fiction as well as the 2014 Hurston/Wright Award for College Writers. Her work is featured in The New Yorker\, The New York Times Magazine\, The Paris Review\, and Jezebel.

SUMMARY:Havarie/Collision
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with Litquake and Unnamed Press\, the Center for the Art of Translation presents a screening of the German “slow-cinema” film Havarie followed by a conversation about the film with director Philip Scheffner and a reading by author Merle Kröger Collision\, a crime novel inspired by research for the film. \nCollision – The Book\nThe research for the film Havarie was starting point and inspiration for the novel of the same title\, written by Merle Kröger\, and translated from the German by Rachel Hildebrandt and Alexandra Roesch as Collision (Unnamed Press November 2017). The book received the Radio Bremen Crime Novel Award 2015 and the German Crime Novel Award 2016. According to Kröger\, “Reality is much more dramatic\, violent and incomprehensible than fiction. I decided to take the encounter between the ships as the cause to freeze time\, to create a 3-D model from this situation which I can observe from all perspectives. In this kind of model space I now step into each character’s role and try to let him or her think and act on the basis of their individual biographies.” \nHavarie – The Film\nOn September 14\, 2012 at 2:56pm\, the cruise liner “Adventure of the Seas” reports to the Spanish Maritime Rescue Centre the sighting of a dinghy adrift with 13 persons on board. From a YouTube clip and biographical scenes evolves a choreography reflecting the past\, present and future of the voyagers on the Mediterranean.\nDirector: Philip Scheffner\, Color\, 97 minutes\, 2015/16\, Germany

SUMMARY:Daniel Handler w/ Matthew Zapruder
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Handler discusses his new novel\, All the Dirty Parts\, with Matthew Zapruder. \n\nPraise for All the Dirty Parts \n“Take one sex-crazed teenage boy and take him seriously. Don’t make him the butt of an easy joke. Don’t make him the star of a humiliation comedy. Let him be an idiot\, a jerk\, a cad\, a hero. Make his desire into a rocket shooting him out of this too small life. Show his loneliness crash-landing him into pieces. It’s almost impossible to write tenderly and truthfully about such things. Somehow Handler has done it.” – Jenny Offill\, author of DEPT. OF SPECULATION \n\n“Sex\, desire\, love\, consent\, coercion\, sexual identity\, porn–Daniel Handler takes it all on in ALL THE DIRTY PARTS. Teenage Cole is simultaneously lovable and troubling\, but mostly he is real\, and his story not only compelling but a fantastic jumping off point for discussing ethical sexual behavior.” – Peggy Orenstein\, author of GIRLS & SEX \n\n“A spectacular portrait of teenage male desire. This beautifully concise novel\, literally composed of only the dirty parts\, had me blushing and laughing and squirming\, sometimes all at once. ALL THE DIRTY PARTS is so honest and eloquent about youthful yearning–the pent-up aggression\, the confusion\, the pure wonder–that it will surely be passed quietly around middle school locker rooms and back-alley libraries everywhere. A joyously lewd yet tender masterpiece.” – Isaac Fitzgerald\, Buzzfeed Books Editor \n\nAbout All the Dirty Parts \nCole is a boy in high school. He runs cross country\, he sketches\, he jokes around with friends. But none of this quite matters next to the allure of sex. “Let me put it this way\,” he says. “Draw a number line\, with zero is you never think about sex and ten is\, it’s all you think about\, and while you are drawing the line\, I am thinking about sex.” \n  \nCole fantasizes about whomever he’s looking at. He consumes and shares pornography. And he sleeps with a lot of girls\, which is beginning to earn him a not-quite-savory reputation around school. This leaves him adrift with only his best friend for company\, and then something startling starts to happen between them that might be what he’s been after all this time-and then he meets Grisaille. \n  \nAll The Dirty Parts is an unblinking take on teenage desire in a culture of unrelenting explicitness and shunted communication\, where sex feels like love\, but no one knows what love feels like. With short chapters in the style of Jenny Offill or Mary Robison\, Daniel Handler gives us a tender\, brutal\, funny\, intoxicating portrait of an age when the lens of sex tilts the world. “There are love stories galore\,” Cole tells us\, “This isn’t that. The story I’m typing is all the dirty parts.”

SUMMARY:Khary Lazarre-White
DESCRIPTION:Passage tells the story of Warrior\, a young black man navigating the snowy winter streets of Harlem and Brooklyn in 1993. Warrior is surrounded by deep family love and a sustaining connection to his history\, bonds that arm him as he confronts the urban forces that surround him—both supernatural and human—including some that seek his very destruction. \nFor Warrior and his peers\, the reminders that they\, as black men\, aren’t meant to be fully free\, are everywhere. The high schools are filled with teachers who aren’t qualified and don’t care as much about their students’ welfare as that they pass the state exams. Getting from point A to point B usually means eluding violence\, and possibly death\, at the hands of the “blue soldiers” and your own brothers. Making it home means accepting that you may open the door to find that someone you love did not have the same good fortune. \nWarrior isn’t even safe in his own mind. He’s haunted by the spirits of ancestors and of the demons of the system of oppression. Though the story told in Passage takes place in 1993\, there is a striking parallel between Warrior’s experience and the experiences of black male youth today\, since nothing has really changed. Every memory in the novel is the memory of thousands of black families. Every conversation is a message both to those still in their youth and those who left their youth behind long ago. Passage is a novel for then and now. \nKhary Lazarre-White is a writer\, social justice advocate\, attorney\, and activist who has dedicated his life to the educational outcome and opportunities for young people of color at key life stages. His support base is far-reaching and diverse\, built over the past twenty-two years as co-founder and executive director of The Brotherhood/Sister Sol. He has received awards for his work\, including the Oprah Winfrey Angel Network Use Your Life Award\, the Ford Foundation Leadership for a Changing World Award\, awards from Black Girls Rock! and the Andrew Goodman Foundation\, and a Resident Fellowship Award to the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center. Khary Lazarre-White is a highly influential presence among national policymakers and broadcast\, print\, and social media outlets. He has written for the Huffington Post\, NYU Press\, Nation Books\, and MSNBC.com\, and has edited three books\, The Brotherhood Speaks\, Voices of the Brotherhood/Sister Sol\, and Off the Subject. He lives in Harlem\, New York City.
