SUMMARY:Alanna Okun / The Curse of the Boyfriend Sweater
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts an evening with Alanna Okun\, in conversation with Joe Wadlington about her new book The Curse of the Boyfriend Sweater: Essays on Crafting. Please join us! \n  \nEvery knitter knows that as soon as you start making your boyfriend a sweater\, he will be out the door before you’re done. But as Alanna Okun has learned\, these life lessons are not limited to the curse of the boyfriend sweater. \nLike millions of women\, Okun finds joy and solace in crafting. And she has also found some essential truths. Starting from when her grandmother first taught her to knit\, crafting has been a part of her life\, and her family’s. Some people like to fish. Some like to play music. Or run. Okun likes to make things; knitting\, crocheting\, sewing\, decoupage—you name it\, Okun has tried it\, and even if she turned out to be not very good at it\, she found it was good for her. \nIn a world that shows itself impervious to our need for order and logic\, crafting allows Okun to feel a sense of control—even if it’s simply by making a piece of felt do what she wants it to. Crafting has helped keep her severe anxiety at bay\, made a scary first apartment more hospitable\, and helped her heal from a broken heart. When Okun has two good friends die within a year of each other\, it is crafting that helps her find hope again. The art and physicality of making things\, whether it’s nerdy embroidery or warm mittens\, has helped her cope with life’s internal trauma. \nIn beautiful prose that belies her youth\, Okun’s essays about art\, crafts\, and mental health will resonate with creative people no matter their medium\, and no matter the troubles in their hearts. We can all relate to the need to fix what’s inside by keeping our hands busy. \n  \n\n  \nAlanna Okun is a writer\, editor\, and crafter. She’s currently a senior editor at Racked\, and has written for publications including BuzzFeed\, Brooklyn Magazine\, and The Hairpin\, and appeared on the Today Show\, Good Morning America\, NPR\, and many other local and national television and radio programs. Alanna lives in Brooklyn with her pet snail and a lot of yarn. \n  \n  \nJoe Wadlington has been published in the New Yorker\, The Rumpus\, Racked.com\, and Food & Wine Magazine. He writes essays and satire about dating\, casual dining\, and how to be polite during both of them. Joe is a crafter and former camp counselor who has educated hundreds of kids on how to felt\, bead\, and tye-dye. You can follow him on Twitter and subscribe to his weekly writing prompts. \n  \n  \n\n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \n  \nIf you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of The Curse of the Boyfriend Sweater\, order below and be sure to put your request in the special field.

SUMMARY:Martha K. Davis
DESCRIPTION:Martha K. Davis reads from her new novel\, Scissors\, Paper\, Stone. \n\nPraise for Scissors\, Paper\, Stone \n\n“With Scissors\, Paper\, Stone\, Martha K. Davis has given us an ambitious coming of (lesbian) age story that is a movingly honest inquiry into the messy\, yet still beautiful\, transmogrification of what it means to be a family in a post-WWII America ruptured by racism\, homophobia\, . . and the generational divide. The character of Cathy\, the idealistic and unsuspecting . . . mother of an adopted Korean child\, is one for the ages: a vessel for all the good intentions and fumbling contradictions of her time.”—Celeste Gainey\, author of the GAFFER\, final judge for the 2016 Quill Award \n\n“Martha K. Davis writes with rare insight and compassion about the evolving American family and the struggle to belong. Scissors\, Paper\, Stone is a wise and affecting novel.”—Hilma Wolitzer\, author of The Doctor’s Daughter and An Available Man \n\nAbout Scissors\, Paper\, Stone \n\nWhat is considered a family\, and who gets to define it? In 1964\, despite the racial tension occurring in a post-WWII America\, Catherine and Jonathan adopt a baby girl from Korea. This unconventional choice brings disapproval from Catherine’s family\, which creates an even closer bond between her and her daughter. Narrated in alternating chapters by Catherine\, her adopted daughter Min\, and Min’s best friend Laura\, Scissors\, Paper\, Stone spans twenty years of love\, loss\, and the complex reality of female relationships. By 1985 Catherine is living a risk-free life on her own accord\, Laura is dating her way through college\, and Min is a massage therapist who has come out as a lesbian and is learning to embrace her Korean heritage. After Min and Laura take a summer road trip together\, the shifts in their friendship force all three women to examine the assumptions they’ve been living by and to make choices about the roles they want to play in each other’s lives.

SUMMARY:Jesse Berrett
DESCRIPTION:Please join us as we welcome Jesse Berrett for a reading of his newest book Pigskin Nation on Wednesday\, May 30th at 6:30 p.m. in our Granny Smith Room! \nHistorian Berrett debuts with a superb cultural history of the period between 1966 and 1974\, when “football\, politics and culture entwined themselves in ever more complex ways.” Berrett concisely looks at how NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle used his newly acquired production company\, NFL Films\, to transform the violent image of the sport by producing films and TV programming that extolled football’s “meaning\, glory\, excitement\, and passion.” The book’s second half explores how politicians tried to capitalize on pro football’s cultural relevance\, particularly Richard Nixon’s use of the sport—and his endorsement of conservative coaches such as Vince Lombardi—as part of a “public strategy of rallying mainstream America against the dissent\, abnormality\, and un-American behavior” that could be linked to groups he sought to marginalize. An epilogue looks at how the battle over football’s meaning continued in the 1980s; Berrett observes that Ronald Reagan’s repeated use of “the Gipper” was used to embody the entire Reagan ethos of America as “still the shining city on a hill.” This thought-provoking sports history nicely looks at the significance professional football has had on American politics and culture. \n

SUMMARY:Jessica Weisberg
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Weisberg discusses her new book\, Asking for a Friend: Three Centuries of Life\, Love\, Money and Other Burning Questions from a Nation Obsessed. \n\nPraise for Asking for a Friend \n\n“Rich with insight and surprising facts\, Jessica Weisberg’s ingenious appraisal of America’s guidance-givers doubles as a wholly unexpected history of our national psyche. At long last\, the lowly advice column gets its due!”―Kate Bolick\, author of Spinster: Making a Life of One’s Own \n\n“An oddly soothing antidote to the millenarian terrors of today\, Jessica Weisberg’s history of ordinary American anxiety is as warm\, funny\, entertaining\, and chattily insightful as the advice-dispensers she portrays. In the centuries before the internet\, these were the ones we turned to with questions so obscure\, embarrassing\, weird\, or mortifyingly personal that only a stranger would do.”―Larissa MacFarquhar\, author of Strangers Drowning: Impossible Idealism\, Drastic Choices\, and the Urge to Help \n\n“Jessica Weisberg’s hilarious\, enlightening odyssey through the history of advice columns chronicles the evolution of our anxieties over how to act. However weird or offensive some of our questions have been\, it’s heartening to know that at least we’ve always been trying. A surprising and delightful read.”―Mac McClelland\, author of Irritable Hearts: A PTSD Love Story \n\nAbout Asking for a Friend \n\nA delightful history of Americans’ obsession with advice–from Poor Richard to Dr. Spock to Miss Manners \n  \nAmericans\, for all our talk of pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps\, obsessively seek advice on matters large and small. Perhaps precisely because we believe in bettering ourselves and our circumstances in life\, we ask for guidance constantly. And this has been true since our nation’s earliest days: from the colonial era on\, there have always been people eager to step up and offer advice\, some of it lousy\, some of it thoughtful\, but all of it read and debated by generations of Americans. \n  \nJessica Weisberg takes readers on a tour of the advice-givers who have made their names\, and sometimes their fortunes\, by telling Americans what to do. You probably don’t want to follow all the advice they proffered. Eating graham crackers will not make you a better person\, and wearing blue to work won’t guarantee a promotion. But for all that has changed in American life\, it’s a comfort to know that our hang-ups\, fears\, and hopes have not. We’ve always loved seeking advice–so long as it’s anonymous\, and as long as it’s clear that we’re not asking for ourselves; we’re just asking for a friend.

SUMMARY:William Brewer reads poems about addiction Mill Valley Library Cosponsored by Marin Poetry Center
DESCRIPTION:These moving and dramatic poems tackle the pain of the opioid addiction in West Virginia\, how it affects family\, addicts and the community. Brewer manages to infuse the poems with beauty and hope as well as speaking in the many voices of the epidemic \nRooted in the physical and spiritual landscape of West Virginia\, the poems focus on the small town of Oceana (nicknamed Oxyana for the record number of overdoses there)\, Oceana acts as a stand-in for West Virginia as a whole\, which has the highest OD rate in the country. \nThe poems are at once dreamlike and visceral\, and the images in it draw on the beauty and pain of a West Virginia that is\, in Brewer’s words “last on every list\,” a state that people in the nation’s capital\, only a few hours away\, barely acknowledge and clearly don’t care much about. \nWilliam Brewer’s book\, I Know Your Kind (Milkweed Editions\, 2017) was the winner of the National Poetry Series. His work has appeared in Boston Review\, The Iowa Review\, Narrative (where it was awarded the 30 Below Prize)\, ZYZZYVA\, New England Review\, The New Yorker\, and other journals. Currently a Stegner Fellow at Stanford University\, he was born and raised in West Virginia. For more about William Brewer\, see the PBS segment or the ZYZZYVA interview.

SUMMARY:Vincent Pizzuto
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday\, May 31st at 7:00 p.m. as we welcome Vincent Pizzuto as he reads from his new book Contemplating Christ. \nThe incarnation has made mystics of us all. What if we read the gospels as if that were true? In his book Contemplating Christ\, Vincent Pizzuto offers an exploration of the interior life for modern contemplatives that is as beautiful as it is compelling. With an emphasis on the gospels and Christian mystical tradition\, his book explores ancient themes in new and surprising ways. Drawing on his rich experience as an academic and priest\, Pizzuto gradually unfolds the Christian mystery of deification to which the whole of biblical revelation and the Christian contemplative life are ordered: through the incarnation\, we have all been made “other Christs” in the world.

DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts Michelle Markowitz and Caroline Moss\, in town to present Hey Ladies: The Story of 8 Best Friends\, 1 Year\, and Way\, Way Too Many Emails. Join us! \n  \nBased on the column of the same name that appeared in The Toast\, Hey Ladies! is a laugh-out-loud read that follows a fictitious group of eight 20-and-30-something female friends for one year of holidays\, summer house rentals\, dates\, brunches\, breakups\, and\, of course\, the planning of a disastrous wedding. This instantly relatable story is told entirely through emails\, texts\, DMs\, and every other form of communication known to man. \n  \nThe women in the book are stand-ins for annoying friends we all have. There’s Nicole\, who’s always broke and tries to pay for things in Forever21 gift cards. There’s Katie\, the self-important budding journalist\, who thinks a retweet and a byline are the same thing. And there’s Jen\, the DIY suburban bride-to-be. With a perfectly pitched sardonic tone\, Hey Ladies! will have you cringing and laughing as you recognize your own friends … and even yourself. \n  \n\n  \n“Hey Ladies! is fresh and seductive. The surface energy is irresistible but like any memorable book it’s the deeper emotion that will stay with you. A must-read for the Millennials and a true joy for the rest of us.” – Elin Hilderbrand\, author of The Perfect Couple \n  \n“DAMNNNNN!!!! This book is so funny and it feels like you’re reading emails on your phone\, so it goes down nice and easy! I devoured this book\, just like I devoured that half-handful of almonds I laid out as my entire lunch.” – Megan Amram\, NBC’s The Good Place and author of Science…For Her! \n  \n“[Buy this book to] remind your newly-engaged friend you were around before the fiancé.” – Vogue \n  \n“This is the ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ of our time. By the way\, ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ is a total masterpiece. The book\, not the movie. The movie is just ok. Anyway\, this book is a masterpiece. Share it with your bffs!!”— Emily Gould\, author of Friendship \n  \n“There’s a level of detail here that can only come from years of paying attention to one’s worst impulses\, and there’s something magical about watching those impulses be given free rein here. It’s as petty and profound as Samuel Pepys\, and it haunts my dreams.” — Daniel Mallory Ortberg and Nicole Cliffe\, co-founders of The Toast \n  \n  \n\n  \nMichelle Markowitz is a writer and director. She recently wrote and directed the pilot “Sidepiece” for Virgin Produced. Her work has been featured in the New York Times\, The Hairpin\, Fast Company\, Jezebel\, and New York\, and on The Today Show\, Good Morning America\, MTV\, and more. She lives in New York. \n  \nCaroline Moss is a writer and editor with bylines in The New York Times\, New York Magazine\, Racked\, Cosmopolitan\, and more. She is a contributing editor of The Wing’s No Man’s Land magazine and a producer at BuzzFeed’s morning show\, AM2DM. This is her first book. \n  \n  \nPlease note: this event will be at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. RSVP appreciated but not required. \n  \nBar opens at 7\, event begins at 7:30pm.

SUMMARY:Alexandra Mattraw\, Norman Fischer\, and Tiff Dressen
DESCRIPTION:This is a book launch and celebration for Alexandra Mattraws new book\, small siren. \nAlexandra Mattraw is a Berkeley poet and fourth generation native of Northern California. Her debut full-length book\, small siren\, was published this spring at Cultural Society. Alexandra is also the author of four chapbooks\, including flood psalm (2017)\, published with Dancing Girl Press. Her poems and reviews have appeared in American Letters and Commentary\, Denver Quarterly\, Eleven Eleven\, Fourteen Hills\, The Poetry Project\, VOLT\, The Volta\, and elsewhere. In Oakland\, she curates an art centric writing and performance series called Lone Glen\, now in its seventh year. \nAbout small siren: \n“When good poetry hits\, it animates the actual\, it becomes the actual. That’s small siren: a serious romp of constructive music that is what it says. Science and nature unlock their mysteries by being precise; in small siren the words — cut\, spliced\, compressed — form units of attention enacting the physical world so precisely that even the sun and the moon ride their arcs untroubled. Across cities and seas\, Alexandra Mattraw’s language isn’t attached to images; it comes out of them\, like a birthright. The authenticity is declarative and unmistakable: ‘A sign is a block\, an island\, a cloud\, a clock.’ She makes it real.”\n— Aaron Shurin \n“Though cradled by earth\, Mattraw’s poems wander through a new human condition. Or are the songs of spirits who won’t tiptoe around their biographers. Through the unregistered versions of ourselves\, we can read these poems and worry about having regular bodies later. Here is a beautiful lesson or wager that on a page you can risk your dreams.” \n—Tongo Eisen-Martin \n“In Alexandra Mattraw’s much-awaited first book\, small siren\, we encounter a poet of extraordinary observation and inquiry. An enchantment and engagement with the world commences: “when is a voice a piano\,’ “repetition needs to believe\,’ “what grew before you could speak’ build a kind of groundswell where Mattraw puts her ear to the hardscape of 21st century America and its global environs: Sao Paolo\, Iceland\, New Zealand. Ultimately\, notions of country and categories break down. What we find is heresy\, hearsay\, and yes\, wishes. Throughout\, what survives is a relationship of love and courage\, of errors and triumph. A human relationship of lovers\, of family. This is a book of wonder and awe and strength. When the world goes down\, I want to be in Alexandra Mattraw’s boat.” \n—Gillian Conoley \nNorman Fischer is a poet\, essayist\, and Zen Buddhist priest. The latest of his more than twenty-five prose and poetry titles are (poetry) any would be if (Chax\, 2017) and Magnolias All At Once (Singing Horse\, 2015). Forthcoming in 2018 from PURH in France is his serial poem On a Train at Night. And from Talisman the poem Untitled Series: Life As It is. His latest prose works are What Is Zen? Plain Talk for a Beginner’s Mind\, and Experience: Thinking\, Writing\, Language and Religion. He is the founder of the Everyday Zen Foundation (www.everydayzen.org)\, a network of Zen meditation groups and other projects. His books are distributed by Small Press Distribution in Berkeley\, CA. \nTiff Dressen was born and raised in St. Paul\, Minnesota. SONGS FROM THE ASTRAL BESTIARY (lyric& Press\, 2014) is their first full-length collection of poetry. They recently migrated from Oakland to the Portola neighborhood of San Francisco and work in the Office of Research at UC Berkeley. They are the author of Keeper (Woodland Editions\, 2005)\, Because Icarus-children (WinteRed Press\, December 2010) and for Aeolus: variations on the element (co-published by the g.e. collective and Poetry Flash\, 2011). Their work has appeared in many journals including New American Writing\, VOLT and 26: A journal of poetry and poetics\, and YewJournal. They enjoy spending time at the SF Center for the Book honing their typesetting and letterpress printing skills.

SUMMARY:BINDERY: Charlie LeDuff / Sh*tshow!: The Country's Collapsing . . . and the Ratings Are Great
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts a special evening with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Charlie LeDuff (Detroit: An American Autopsy)\, reading from and discussing his new book Sh*tshow!: The Country’s Collapsing . . . and the Ratings Are Great. \n  \nPlease join us! \n  \nA daring\, firsthand\, and utterly-unscripted account of crisis in America\, from Ferguson to Flint to Cliven Bundy’s ranch to Donald Trump’s unstoppable campaign for President — at every turn\, Charlie LeDuff was there. \n  \nIn the Fall of 2013\, long before any sane person had seriously considered the possibility of a Trump presidency\, Charlie LeDuff sat in the office of then-Fox News CEO Roger Ailes\, and made a simple but prophetic claim: The American people were at a breaking point. The country was going broke and on high boil. No one in the bubbles of Washington\, DC.\, New York\, or Los Angles was talking about it — least of all the media. LeDuff wanted to go to the heart of the country to report what was really going on. Ailes baulked. Could the hard-living and straight-shooting LeDuff be controlled? But\, then\, perhaps on a whim\, he agreed. And so LeDuff set out to record a TV series called “The Americans”\, and\, along the way\, ended up bearing witness to the ever-quickening unraveling of The American Dream. \n  \nFor three years\, LeDuff travelled the width and breadth of the country with his team of production irregulars\, ending up on the Mexican border crossing the Rio Grande on a yellow rubber kayak alongside undocumented immigrants; in the middle of Ferguson as the city burned; and watching the children of Flint get sick from undrinkable water. Racial\, political\, social\, and economic tensions were escalating by the day. The inexorable effects of technological change and globalization were being felt more and more acutely\, at the same time as wages stagnated and the price of housing\, education\, and healthcare went through the roof. The American people felt defeated and abandoned by their politicians\, and those politicians seemed incapable of rising to the occasion. The old way of life was slipping away\, replaced only by social media\, part-time work\, and opioid addiction. \n  \nSh*tshow is that true\, tragic\, and distinctively American story\, told from the parts of the country hurting the most. A soul-baring\, irreverent\, and iconoclastic writer\, LeDuff speaks the language of everyday Americans\, and is unafraid of getting his hands dirty. He scrambles the tired-old political\, social\, and racial categories\, taking no sides — or prisoners. Old-school\, gonzo-style reporting\, this is both a necessary confrontation with the darkest parts of the American psyche and a desperately-needed reminder of the country’s best instincts. \n  \n\n  \nCharlie LeDuff is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist\, formerly at the New York Time sand the Detroit News\, and Detroit’s Fox 2 News. LeDuff has covered the war in Iraq\, crossed the border with Mexican migrants\, and chronicled a Brooklyn fire house in the aftermath of 9/11. The author of Detroit\, US Guys\,and Work and Other Sins\, he lives near Detroit. \n  \nPlease note: This event will be at the Bindery\, 1727 Haight. RSVP appreciated but not required. \n  \nBar opens at 6 for Silent Reading Party (which ends at 7:30pm). This event begins at 8pm. \n  \nIf you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Sh*tshow!\, and/or any of Charlie’s books\, order below and be sure to put your request in the special field. \n\n\n\n\nBooks:\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSh*tshow!: The Country’s Collapsing . . . and the Ratings Are Great (Hardcover)\n\nBy Charlie LeDuff\n$27.00\nISBN: 9780525522027\nAvailability: Coming Soon – Available for Pre-Order Now\nPublished: Penguin Press – May 22nd\, 2018\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetroit: An American Autopsy (Paperback)\n\nBy Charlie LeDuff\n$18.00\nISBN: 9780143124467\nAvailability: On Our Shelves Now\nPublished: Penguin Books – January 28th\, 2014\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUS Guys: The True and Twisted Mind of the American Man (Paperback)\n\nBy Charlie LeDuff\n$16.00\nISBN: 9780143113065\nAvailability: Out of Stock – Usually Ships in 1-5 Days\nPublished: Penguin Books – April 1st\, 2008

SUMMARY:Vigilance is No Orchard - Poets Hazel White\, Denise Newman and Jennifer S. Cheng
DESCRIPTION:Hazel White is the author of Vigilance Is No Orchard\, just published by Nightboat Books. And also of Peril as Architectural Enrichment\, from Kelsey Street Press. In 2016\, she completed with poet Denise Newman a two-year public poetry project\, Biotic Portal at Strawberry Creek\, bioticportal.com\, a collaboration with the UC Botanical Garden\, at Berkeley\, supported by a Creative Work Fund grant. Her poetry has appeared in New American Writing\, Denver Quarterly\, Elderly\, and Fence. She grew up on farms in England\, and works in the Agriculture and Natural Resources Department of UC Davis. \nIn Vigilance Is No Orchard\, Hazel White records her haunting romance with the Valentine Garden\, a famous garden\, now a ruin\, in Montecito\, California\, designed by landscape architect Isabelle Greene. White is jealous of Greene’s power to affect a dynamic experience of space\, tries to make language play faithfully in the game coursing between the body and Greene’s fiercely stirring landscape. Her poems dwell in shelter and view\, and time passing. They chase animation and survival\, forage and repair\, the act of making\, accumulation\, authority of form\, and realize a dream of overflow\, which gives way to loss\, as in flowering. \nDenise Newman’s poetry collections are Future People\, The New Make Believe\, Wild Goods\, and Human Forest. She is the translator of Azorno and The Painted Room\, both by the late Danish poet\, Inger Christensen\, and Baboon by Naja Marie Aidt\, which won the 2015 PEN Translation Award and an NEA Fellowship. She teaches at the California College of the Arts. \nJennifer S. Cheng writes at the intersection of essay and poetry. Her debut book\, House A \, was selected by Claudia Rankine as winner of the Omnidawn Poetry Book Prize\, and she is the author of the new collection MOON: Letters\, Maps\, Poems\, selected by Bhanu Kapil as winner of the Tarpaulin Sky Book Prize.Her writing appears in Tin House\, Conjunctions\, AGNI\, The Literary Hub\, Black Warrior Review\, DIAGRAM\, The Normal School\, Guernica\, Hong Kong 20/20 (a PEN HK anthology)\, and elsewhere. Having grown up in Texas\, Connecticut\, and Hong Kong\, she is a longtime resident of the Outer Sunset neighborhood in San Francisco.

And so LeDuff set out to record a TV series called\, “The Americans\,” and\, along the way\, ended up bearing witness to the ever-quickening unraveling of The American Dream. \nFor three years\, LeDuff travelled the width and breadth of the country with his team of production irregulars\, ending up on the Mexican border crossing the Rio Grande on a yellow rubber kayak alongside undocumented immigrants; in the middle of Ferguson as the city burned; and watching the children of Flint get sick from undrinkable water. Racial\, political\, social\, and economic tensions were escalating by the day. The inexorable effects of technological change and globalization were being felt more and more acutely\, at the same time as wages stagnated and the price of housing\, education\, and healthcare went through the roof. The American people felt defeated and abandoned by their politicians\, and those politicians seemed incapable of rising to the occasion. The old way of life was slipping away\, replaced only by social media\, part-time work\, and opioid addiction. \nSh*tshow is that true\, tragic\, and distinctively American story\, told from the parts of the country hurting the most. Old-school\, gonzo-style reporting\, LeDuff confronts the darkest parts of the American psyche and a desperately-needed reminder of the country’s best instincts. \nAbout the Author \nCharlie LeDuff is a Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist\, formerly at the New York Times and the Detroit News\, and currently on Detroit’s Fox 2 News. He was one of several reporters who worked on the New York Times series “How Race Is Lived in America\,” which was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in 2001. LeDuff has covered the war in Iraq\, crossed the border with Mexican migrants\, and chronicled a Brooklyn fire house in the aftermath of 9/11. The author of Detroit\, US Guys\, and Work and Other Sins\, he lives near Detroit. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nWednesday\, June 6\, 2018 – 7:00pm\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\nEast Bay Booksellers\n5433 College Avenue\n\nOakland\, CA 94618\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSh*tshow!: The Country’s Collapsing . . . and the Ratings Are Great (Hardcover)\n\nBy Charlie LeDuff\n$27.00\nISBN: 9780525522027\nAvailability: Coming Soon – Available for Pre-Order Now\nPublished: Penguin Press – May 22nd\, 2018\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrowse For Books\n\nPeruse our shelves \n\n\n\nBestsellers\n\nFiction & Poetry Bestsellers \nNonfiction Bestsellers \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNewsletter\n\nSign up \n\n\n\nAudio\n\nYour audiobook needs await you at Libro.fm \nCouldn’t make it to an event?

Edited by Nguyen\, himself a refugee\, The Displaced brings together a host of prominent refugee writers from around the world to explore and illuminate their experiences.

SUMMARY:Third Man Books @ City Lights : Destruction of Man by Abraham Smith and The Terraformers by Dan Hoy
DESCRIPTION:Third Man Books @ City Lights\n\ncelebrating new books by Dan Hoy and Abraham Smith\n\n  \nDestruction of Man \nby Abraham Smith \n& \nThe Terraformers \nby Dan Hoy \n  \nabout Abraham Smith: \nAbraham Smith is the author of four poetry collections: Ashagalomancy (Action Books\, 2015); Only Jesus Could Icefish in Summer (Action Books\, 2014); Hank (Action Books\, 2010); and Whim Man Mammon (Action Books\, 2007).

His creative work has been recognized with fellowships from the Fine Arts Work Center\, Provincetown\, MA\, and the Alabama State Council on the Arts.

In The Terraformers\, human life is mediated by domes and pressure suits\, and the history of human beings is buried in ecocide\, oppression and longing for the infinite\, even if (or because) “the infinite / is death for us.” \n  \nThird Man Books and Records: Where your turntable’s not dead\, and your page still turns.
