SUMMARY:Sacred and Profane: Debut Novelist Chelsea Bieker on Godshot
DESCRIPTION:In conversation with Brooke Warner\nProgram will air Sunday May 10th\, 7:00 PM PST \n\n\nRegister (for free) to watch this program’s debut\n\n\n\nWe’re thrilled to welcome debut novelist Chelsea Bieker in conversation with Brooke Warner\, publisher of She Writes Press and SparkPress. Bieker’s explosive literary debut Godshot (Catapult/March 2020)\, praised by bestseller Kristen Arnett as “a beautiful blow to the heart\,” is a hymn to the salvation found in hard-won personal rebirth. Stricken with drought\, the once-verdant community of Peaches\, California clings to a cult leader for salvation\, and 14-year-old Lacey\, abandoned by her mother\, is left to reap a revelatory\, fraught harvest of her own. Godshot has won Bieker rapturous comparisons to Margaret Atwood\, Emma Cline\, and Janet Fitch; but the beauty of her “absolute masterpiece” (T. Kira Madden) lies in Lacey’s incomparable voice: the voice of a brokenhearted believer\, by turns darkly funny and achingly tender\, who you’ll miss after turning the last page. Go deep with Bieker and Brooke Warner\, as they plumb the depths of one unforgettable girl’s miraculous journey to fertile ground. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecommended Reading\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChelsea Bieker\, Godshot\nBrooke Warner\, Write on Sisters! \nOrder your copies from one of our independent bookstore partners

SUMMARY:On Lighthouses: Jazmina Barrera in conversation with Eula Biss
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Event \n\n\n\nJoin Pilsen Community Books and Two Lines Press for an event with Jazmina Barrera and Eula Biss in celebration of Barrera’s new book On Lighthouses\, out this May from Two Lines Press! \n***Register on Eventbrite for a link to the livestream sent to you the day of the event.*** \n“After spending sufficient time inside a lighthouse\, who wouldn’t begin to hear a song in the sound of the machinery\, a voice in the wind or the waves?” \nFar from home\, in the confines of a dim New York apartment where the oppressive skyscrapers further isolate her\, Jazmina Barrera offers a tour of her lighthouses—those structures whose message is “first and foremost\, that human beings are here.” \nStarting with Robert Louis Stevenson’s grandfather\, an engineer charged with illuminating the Scottish coastline\, On Lighthouses artfully examines lighthouses from the Spanish to the Oregon coasts and those in the works of Virginia Woolf\, Edgar Allan Poe\, Ingmar Bergman\, and many others. \nIn trying to “collect” lighthouses by obsessively describing them\, Barrera begins to question the nature of writing\, collecting\, and how\, by staring so intently at one thing we are only trying to avoid others. Equal parts personal memoir and literary history\, On Lighthouses takes the reader on a desperate flight from raging sea to cold stone—from a hopeless isolation to a meaningful one—concluding at last in a place of peace: the home of a selfless\, guiding light. \n\n\n\n\n\nAUTHOR\nJazmina Barrera\n\n\nJazmina Barrera was born in Mexico City in 1988. She was a fellow at the Foundation for Mexican Letters. Her book of essays Cuerpo extraño (Foreign Body) was awarded the Latin American Voices prize from Literal Publishing in 2013.

She has a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing in Spanish from New York University\, which she completed with the support of a Fulbright grant. She was a grantee of the Young Creators program at FONCA. She is editor and co-founder of Ediciones Antílope. She lives in Mexico City.\n\n\n\n\n\nAUTHOR\nEula Biss\n\n\nEula Biss is the author of three books: On Immunity: An Inoculation\, a finalist for the National Book Critic Circle Award for nonfiction; Notes from No Man’s Land: American Essays\, winner of the National Book Critic Circle Award for criticism\, and a collection of poetry\, The Balloonists. Her work has been supported by a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a Howard Foundation Fellowship\, an NEA Literature Fellowship\, and a Jaffe Writers’ Award.

Her authorial voice is incantatory. Characters and events caught in recent tragedies take on aspects of myth. The novel feels unique\, timely\, and yet timeless. I couldn’t put it down.” ––Elizabeth Farnsworth\, author of A Train Through Time  \nAbout Only the River \nFrom California Book Award silver medalist and Simpson Literary Prize finalist author Anne Raeff\, comes a novel of two families set in New York and Nicaragua over several generations as their lives collide in mysterious ways. \nFleeing the ravages of wartime Vienna\, Pepa and her family find safe harbor in the small town of El Castillo\, on the banks of the San Juan River in Nicaragua. There her parents seek to eradicate yellow fever while Pepa falls under the spell of the jungle and the town’s eccentric inhabitants. But Pepa’s life–including her relationship with local boy Guillermo–comes to a halt when her family abruptly moves to New York\, leaving the young girl disoriented and heartbroken. \nAs the years pass\, Pepa’s and Guillermo’s lives diverge\, and Guillermo’s homeland slips into chaos. Nicaragua soon becomes engulfed in revolutionary fervor as the Sandinista movement vies for the nation’s soul. Guillermo’s daughter transforms into an accidental revolutionary. Pepa’s son defies his parents’ wishes and joins the revolution in Nicaragua\, only to disappear into the jungle. It will take decades before the fates of these two families converge again\, revealing how love\, grief\, and passion are intertwined with a nation’s destiny. \nSpanning generations and several wars\, Only the River explores the way displacement both destroys two families and creates new ones\, sparking a revolution that changes their lives in the most unexpected ways.

SUMMARY:Daniel Denvir in conversation with John Washington
DESCRIPTION:discussing the subject of their new titles from Verso Books \nAll-American Nativism: How the Bipartisan War on Immigrants Explains Politics as We Know It \nand \nThe Dispossessed: A Story of Asylum at the US-Mexican Border and Beyond \nboth published by Verso Books \nThis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Crowdcast platform. You will need access to a computer or other device that is capable of accessing the internet. If you have not used Crowdcast before\, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Crowdcast. \n———- \n(Click Here) to make reservations \nEvent is free\, but reservations are required \n———- \n>Click here to purchase The Dispossessed< \nClick here to purchase All American Nativism< \n  \nWhat has been said about the work of Dan Denvir and John Washington: \nPraise for All-American Nativism \n\n“As Daniel Denvir’s exceptional book shows\, the history of US immigration politics is central to understanding how our many crises have converged in this moment. It’s precisely the kind of analysis our movements need to pry open the fissures of the current order\, and join in common struggle for a better world.” \n– Naomi Klein\, author of No Is Not Enough \n\n\n\n“This is the book we need\, a searing work of scholarship that explains how we entered the current hellscape of American politics and what we have to do to get out. The roots of white nativism are deep\, as Denvir’s book makes clear\, but like all roots can be pulled up and killed. All-American Nativism will help us do so.” \n– Greg Grandin\, author of The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America \n\n\n“In this timely book\, Daniel Denvir tackles an important question: what is old and what is new in Trump’s nativism? Denvir helps us understand both the historical roots and the more recent routes by which ‘build the wall’ came to be the central rallying cry of racial-nationalism. A must-read for anyone who wants to know how we got here.” \n– Mae Ngai\, author of Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America \n\n\n“All American Nativism excavates the history of anti-immigrant politics in the United States and reveals a difficult truth: Donald Trump is the symptom\, and not the cause\, of a bipartisan consensus underlying the current war on immigrants. In this sense\, Denvir’s book is an invaluable tool for organizers and activists who subscribe to what Paulo Freire meant by praxis\, where reflection and action are required to bring about transformative change.” \n– Pablo Alvarado\, National Day Laborer Organizing Network \n\n\n“All-American Nativism powerfully explores the deep roots of nativism in national life as well as how Trump’s agenda is itself the culmination of the policies and the logic pursued for decades by both major parties. In the process\, Daniel Denvir masterfully demonstrates the relationship between today’s debates over immigration and ongoing struggles against neoliberal austerity\, mass incarceration\, and the violence of the security state. In this way\, the book not only offers a diagnosis of the present\, but also a stirring vision of solidarity and change. This is an essential and profound work\, providing critical insights about the American experience and where to go from here.” \n– Aziz Rana\, author of The Two Faces of American Freedom \n\n\n“Traces the development of anti-immigrant sentiment.” \n– Cora Currier\, The Intercept \nWhat has been said about The Dispossessed \n\n“In an era of massive and unprecedented human migration\, John Washington documents in his poignant book how the poverty and violence powerful nations inflict on poor countries is a major reason so many flee their lives and families. Offering expansive historical analysis of how ancient religions\, cultures\, and societies understood the imperative of welcoming the outsider\, particularly those seeking safety from harm or death\, and contrasting it with our current world order\, Washington has written one of the most important books of our time on one of the most dire systematic injustices on our planet. I read this book in one sitting because I simply couldn’t put it down.” \n– Jeremy Scahill\, author of Dirty Wars \n\n\n\n“The Dispossessed is one of the most beautiful and wrenching books I’ve read in a long time. We are becoming a stateless world\, as the combined effects of climate change\, war\, and struggles of resources push people from their land and their homes. John Washington’s book offers no easy answers\, but in its empathy\, it is a guide for how we confront the crisis with decency.” \n– Greg Grandin\, author of The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America \n\n\n“John Washington delivers an absorbing\, harrowing\, and deeply moving reportage that renders the most thorough and critical assessment of the US asylum system that I have ever read.” \n– Todd Miller\, author of Empire of Borders \n\n\n“John Washington is a rarity in the world of Central American migration. He doesn’t parachute into tragedy. He travels with humility and seeks to understand\, not to reaffirm his hypotheses. This is a book from someone who has been understanding for a long time. I’ve been covering migration in Central America\, Mexico\, and the United States for thirteen years\, and I can say with complete conviction: Read this book.” \n– Óscar Martinez\, author of The Beast: Riding the Rails and Dodging Narcos on the Migrant Trail

SUMMARY:Parenting in a Time of Crisis: Christine Carter\, Sarah Jaquette Ray and Madeline Levine
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Dacher Keltner\nProgram will air Tuesday May 12th\, 7:00 PM PST \n\n\nRegister (for free) to watch this program’s debut\n\n\n\nParents all over the world are facing a dilemma: what do we tell children about threatening truths\, from COVID-19 to climate change? How do we balance their need to be informed and prepared with their equally important right to experience the carefree joy of youth and dream of the future? These questions are more urgent than ever at a time when our kids’ routines\, schedules\, and ideas of normalcy have been completely upended—and when parents are struggling to answer their children’s questions in a way that doesn’t undermine kids’ baseline of stability and structure. \nAuthor\, speaker\, and coach Christine Carter\, Ph.D. draws on her own parenting experiences\, as well as the latest scientific research in psychology\, sociology\, and neuroscience\, to give advice for living\, working\, and parenting with greater joy and meaning. In her recent book\, Ready or Not: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Uncertain and Rapidly Changing World\, New York Times bestselling author and psychologist Madeline Levine seems to have anticipated the needs and struggles of families during this crisis. Environmental pioneer Sarah Jaquette Ray’s A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety is an essential toolkit for the climate generation—and the rest of us—as we confront the greatest environmental threat of our time: one that\, as we’re learning\, worsens pandemics. We couldn’t ask for a better trio of guides to empower us with the knowledge and insight to parent well in these trying times. Moderated by Dacher Keltner\, a professor of psychology at UC Berkeley and faculty director of the Greater Good Science Center. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecommended Reading\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChristine Carter\, The New Adolescence \nMadeline Levine\, Ready or Not: Preparing Our Kids to Thrive in an Uncertain and Rapidly Changing World\nSarah Jaquette Ray\, A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet\nDacher Keltner\, The Power Paradox: How We Gain and Lose Influence \nOrder your copies from one of our independent bookstore partners

SUMMARY:Katie Burke: Urban Playground
DESCRIPTION:Katie Burke discusses her new book Urban Playground: What Kids Say about Living in San Francisco. \nPraise for Urban Playground \n“In this charming\, warm-hearted\, often very funny book\, Katie Burke takes us into the minds of children—a place we should all spend more time! Not only a wonderfully insightful kid’s eye guide to San Francisco\, Urban Playground is also an interactive manual for getting into the minds of your own—and your friends’—children. Reading its sweet—and sometimes quirky—interviews\, is to see San Francisco with the freshest eyes possible.”—JANIS COOKE NEWMAN\, author of A Master Plan for Rescue \n“If you’re seeking the honest truth from kids\, you will find few better resources than Urban Playground\, by San Francisco writer Katie Burke. Burke’s StoryCorps-like interviews\, quoting kids on everything from pupusas to Pride Week\, reveal that the Bay Area remains a fertile ground for smart\, confident\, and fun-loving kids. Says a seven-year-old girl who’s on the road to becoming an archaeologist\, ‘It usually takes about maybe a month or a year to dig up one dinosaur.’ After reading this book\, I wouldn’t be surprised if she or another San Francisco kid figured out how to dig one up sooner!.”—SALLY SMITH\, Editor and Co-Publisher\, The Noe Valley Voice \n“Children make the best tour guides. In Katie Burke’s lively Urban Playground series\, young city-dwellers share how they experience all aspects of city life\, from restaurants\, holidays\, people\, and parks to pets\, schools\, sports\, shops\, and activities. Their observations are moving and thought-provoking\, and reveal what makes a city interesting and unique. This book will appeal to adults and kids who wish to see (and re-see) San Francisco.”—CHRISTINA CLANCY\, author of The Second Home \nAbout Urban Playground \nRural areas cover 97 percent of the United States–yet more than 80 percent of the US population lives in urban areas. What is life like for the millions of children who populate our nation’s cities?\nIn Urban Playground\, Katie Burke interviews fifty children\, ages five to nine\, who live in San Francisco. In each conversation\, she explores one of ten different themes–family\, school\, pets\, vacation\, work\, heroes\, holidays\, favorite foods\, talents\, and sports–followed by insights on the topic. She rounds out each segment with five questions for adults and kids to discuss after they’ve read it together\, encouraging open\, honest dialogue about young readers’ thoughts on the subject matter at hand. Future books in the series will expand into other major U.S. cities. Fun\, accessible\, and interactive\, Urban Playground is an important window into the ways children in cities think about and describe the most important aspects of their lives–which is every aspect of their lives. \n

SUMMARY:Alastair Gee and Dani Anguiano / Fire in Paradise: An American Tragedy
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts a virtual event with journalists Alastair Gee and Dani Anguiano for their new book Fire in Paradise: An American Tragedy. \nPlease join us: we’ll be streaming on our Facebook page! \nFriends\, neighbors: We are pleased to be able to bring you some of our events virtually while our doors are otherwise closed in the interest of public health. You can still support us in the usual ways: you can make donations; you can buy the book and we’ll deliver it directly to your door; and did you know we keep our gift certificates on file and they never expire? Thank you very much for your support – we’re proud to be a legacy business and a mainstay of the Haight-Ashbury since 1976! \n\nThere is no precedent in postwar American history for the destruction of the town of Paradise\, California. On November 8\, 2018\, the community of 27\,000 people was swallowed by the ferocious Camp Fire\, which razed virtually every home and killed at least 85 people. The catastrophe seared the American imagination\, taking the front page of every major national newspaper and top billing on the news networks. It displaced tens of thousands of people\, yielding a refugee crisis that continues to unfold. \nFire in Paradise is a dramatic and moving narrative of the disaster based on hundreds of in-depth interviews with residents\, firefighters and police\, and scientific experts. Alastair Gee and Dani Anguiano are California-based journalists who have reported on Paradise since the day the fire began. Together they reveal the heroics of the first responders\, the miraculous escapes of those who got out of Paradise\, and the horrors experienced by those who were trapped. Their accounts are intimate and unforgettable\, including the local who left her home on foot as fire approached while her 82-year-old father stayed to battle it; the firefighter who drove into the heart of the inferno in his bulldozer; the police officer who switched on his body camera to record what he thought would be his final moments as the flames closed in; and the mother who\, less than 12 hours after giving birth in the local hospital\, thought she would die in the chaotic evacuation with her baby in her lap. Gee and Anguiano also explain the science of wildfires\, write powerfully about the role of the power company PG&E in the blaze\, and describe the poignant efforts to raise Paradise from the ruins. \nThis is the story of a town at the forefront of a devastating global shift—of a remarkable landscape sucked ever drier of moisture and becoming inhospitable even to trees\, now dying in their tens of millions and turning to kindling. It is also the story of a lost community\, one that epitomized a provincial\, affordable kind of Californian existence that is increasingly unattainable. It is\, finally\, a story of a new kind of fire behavior that firefighters have never witnessed before and barely know how to handle. What happened in Paradise was unprecedented in America. Yet according to climate scientists and fire experts\, it will surely happen again. \n\nAlastair Gee is an award-winning editor and reporter at the Guardian who has also written for The New Yorker online\, the New York Times\, and the Economist. Gee lives in New York City. \nDani Anguiano writes for the Guardian and was a reporter for the Chico Enterprise-Record. Anguiano lives in the San Francisco Bay area. \n\nThis event is free and all ages. \nRSVP appreciated but not required.

SUMMARY:Micheline Aharonian Marcom: The New American
DESCRIPTION:Micheline Aharonian Marcom discusses her new novel The New American with Sara Campos. \nSelect praise for Micheline Aharonian Marcom \n“The fierce beauty of her prose both confronts readers with many breathtaking cruelties and carries us past them.”The New York Times \n“Powerful…Marcom’s writing is intensely poetic.”Washington Post \n“Lyrical…Marcom is so talented.”Chicago Tribune \n“Dazzling and disquieting.”Los Angeles Times \n“Marcom’s seamless\, ethereal prose is suffused with raw emotion; there is heart-break on every page\, but also hope.”San Francisco Chronicle \nAbout The New American \nIn this timely and emotionally powerful novel\, award-winning author Micheline A. Marcom recounts the epic journey of a young Guatemalan-American college student\, a “dreamer\,” who gets deported and decides to make his way back home to California. \nEmilio believes he is living the American Dream: his parents\, who emigrated from Guatemala to California\, sacrifice daily to ensure it. And his life seems relatively normal until he turns sixteen. Like most teenagers\, Emilio is determined to get his driver’s license—however\, his mother discourages it. When Emilio asks why\, his parents reveal a shocking secret: he is undocumented. \nEmilio adjusts to his new normal. He attends UC Berkeley. He falls in love. All is going well…until Emilio gets into a car accident and—without a driver’s license or any documentation—the policeman on the scene reports him to Immigration and Customs Enforcement [ICE]. \nEmilio is deported to Guatemala. But he is determined to get back to California\, the only home he has ever known. It is an epic journey that takes him across thousands of miles through remote towns\, lush jungles\, and eventually the Sonoran Desert of the US-Mexico border\, meeting thieves and corrupt law enforcement but also kind strangers and new friends. \nInspired in part by interviews with Central American refugees\, and told in lyrical prose\, Micheline A. Marcom weaves a heart-pounding and heartbreaking tale of adventure. The New American is an important and well-timed novel that asks us what we have in common—across cultures\, experiences\, and borders—and what makes us not only American\, but altogether human.

SUMMARY:Katherine Silver in conversation with Mauro Javier Cárdenas
DESCRIPTION:Katherine Silver in conversation with Mauro Javier Cárdenas \nCarlos Onetti meets Julio Ramón Ribeyro in an evening of discussion between a master translator and an award winning novelist \nThis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Zoom platform. You will need access to a computer or other device that is capable of accessing the internet. If you have not used Zoom before\, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Zoom. \n———— \n(Click Here) to make reservations \nEvent is free\, but reservations are required \n——– \nBooks for this event may be purchased on : \n>Purchase A Dream Come True here< \n>Purchase The Word of the Speechless : Selected Stories here< \n>Purchase The Revelutionaries Try Again here< \n——– \ncelebrating the release of \nA Dream Come True: the Complete Stories of Juan Carlos Onetti \nTranslated by Katharine Silver \npublished by Archipelago Press \n& \nThe Word of the Speechless : Selected Stories \nby Julio Ramón Ribeyro\, edited and translated from the Spanish by Katharine Silver\, with an introduction by Alejandro Zambra \npublished by New York Review Books \n \nAbout Juan Carlos Onetti: \nJuan Carlos Onetti was born in Montevideo\, Uruguay\, but began writing in Buenos Aires in the late 1930s. Nobel Prize-winner Mario Vargas Llosa described Onetti as “one of the great modern writers\, not only in Latin America.” He published short stories in La Nación and in the magazine Sur\, founded by Victoria Ocampo and Jorge Luis Borges. He then proceeded to write novels centered around the imaginary town of Santa María\, which he described through a complex\, poetic\, and existentialist prose in “Los Astilleros\,” “Juntacadáveres\,” and “La vida breve”. He was exiled to Spain in 1976\, where he worked as a writer for El País and several Latin American newspapers. His lyrical stories and compact novels awarded him the Cervantes Prize in 1980 and the Rodó Prize in 1991. \n \nAbout Julio Ramón Ribeyro: \n\n\n\n\nThe Peruvian writer Julio Ramón Ribeyro is one of the masters of the short story and a major contributor to the great flourishing of Latin American literature that followed the Second World War. In a letter to an editor\, Ribeyro said about his stories\, “in most of [them] those who are deprived of words in life find expression— the marginalized\, the forgotten\, those condemned to an existence without harmony and without voice. I have restored to them the breath they’ve been denied\, and I’ve allowed them to modulate their own longings\, outbursts\, and distress.” This is work of deep humanity\, imbued with a disorienting lyricism that is Ribeyro’s alone. The Word of the Speechless\, edited and translated by Katherine Silver\, introduces readers to an indispensable and unforgettable voice of Latin American fiction. \n\n\n\n\nKatherine Silver has translated more than thirty books\, mostly of literature from the Americas. Her most recent and forthcoming translations include works by María Sonia Cristoff\, Julio Ramón Ribeyro\, Julio Cortázar\, Daniel Sada\, Horacio Castellanos Moya\, César Aira\, and Pedro Lemebel. She has received numerous awards and prizes\, including three National Endowment for the Arts translation fellowships.\nShe was recently translator-in-residence at the University of Iowa\, and is the former director of the Banff International Literary Translation Centre. \nYou can read an interview with Katherine Silver in The Believer \nMauro Javier Cardenas grew up in Guayaquil\, Ecuador\, and graduated with a degree in Economics from Stanford University. He’s the author of  The Revolutionaries Try Again (Coffee House Press). In 2016 he received a Joseph Henry Jackson Award and in 2017 the Hay Festival included him in Bogota 39\, a selection of the best young Latin American novelists. His interviews and essays on/with László Krasznahorkai\, Antonio Lobo Antunes\, Javier Marias\, Horacio Castellanos Moya\, Juan Villoro\, and Tatiana Huezo have appeared in Music & Literature\, San Francisco Chronicle\, BOMB\, ZYZZYVA\, and The Quarterly Conversation. \nVisit: www.maurojaviercardenas.com \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Courts\, COVID-19 & Voter Suppression
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Lala Wu\nProgram will air Thursday May 14th\, 7:00 PM PST \n\n\nRegister (for free) to watch this program’s debut\n\n\n\nWe’ve all seen the images from the recent in-person election in Wisconsin: people lined up wearing masks\, some holding signs saying “THIS IS RIDICULOUS\,” as they risked deadly COVID-19 illness and violated a shelter-in-place order simply to exercise the right to vote. Perhaps the most disturbing part of this scenario was the fact that it wouldn’t have happened without a last-minute ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that rolled back an absentee ballot extension period that had been put in place expressly to mitigate contagion potential from in-person voting. With less than six months to go until the 2020 Presidential election\, and with the COVID-19 pandemic expected to remain in full force\, can we expect a repeat of the debacle in Wisconsin—this time\, on a national scale? In the aftermath of 2013’s Shelby County v. Holder verdict that shattered the Voting Rights Act\, how much can we rely on our courts as the last line of defense in our right to vote? \nThree nationally recognized experts will lead us through the role of the courts in ensuring voters’ access to vital options like absentee ballots and early voting\, and show us how everyday citizens can act now to shape the judiciary in the short and long term. Featuring legal scholar Richard Hasen\, whose Election Meltdown was deemed “required reading for legislators and voters” by Kirkus in a starred review; Constitutional scholar Alan Hirsch\, whose A Short History of Presidential Election Crises was praised as “lucid\, balanced\, and deeply informed” by Elizabeth Kolbert; and renowned civil rights leader Abdi Soltani\, executive director of the ACLU of Northern California. Moderated by Lala Wu\, whose Sister District Project enlists 40\,000 women nationwide in the fight to win crucial state legislative elections. \nOur series on Voting Rights has been generously supported by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria\, the Stephen M. Silberstein Foundation\, Mal Warwick Donor Digital\, and Guy and Jeanine Saperstein. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecommended Reading\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRichard Hasen\, Election Meltdown: Dirty Tricks\, Distrust\, and the Threat to American Democracy\nAlan Hirsch\, A Short History of Presidential Election Crises: (And How to Prevent the Next One) \nOrder your copies from one of our independent bookstore partners

SUMMARY:Jeremy Packer and Joshua Reeves
DESCRIPTION:iller Apps: War\, Media\, Machine \npublished by Duke University Press \nIn Killer Apps Jeremy Packer and Joshua Reeves provide a detailed account of the rise of automation in warfare\, showing how media systems are central to building weapons systems with artificial intelligence in order to more efficiently select and eliminate military targets. Drawing on the insights of a wide range of political and media theorists\, Packer and Reeves develop a new theory for understanding how the intersection of media and military strategy drives today’s AI arms race. They address the use of media to search for enemies in their analyses of the history of automated radar systems\, the search for extraterrestrial life\, and the development of military climate science\, which treats the changing earth as an enemy. As the authors demonstrate\, contemporary military strategy demands perfect communication in an evolving battlespace that is increasingly inhospitable to human frailties\, necessitating humans’ replacement by advanced robotics\, machine intelligence\, and media systems. \nJeremy Packer is Associate Professor in the Institute for Communication\, Culture\, Information\, and Technology at the University of Toronto. \nJoshua Reeves is an Associate Professor in the School of Communication and Media at Oregon State University. \nPraise for Killer Apps \n\n\n“In this crucial new book\, Jeremy Packer and Joshua Reeves offer a provocative\, media-centric analysis of automated killing machines. Engaging with an armada of flying sensors\, robotic submarines\, and AI weapons already in use\, they show that big data\, computer vision\, and super intelligence emerge not just to order and organize the battlefield\, but to produce new enemies. Clever and incisive\, the book provides a haunting look at warfare of the near future.” — Lisa Parks\, coeditor of Life in the Age of Drone Warfare \n“This is an excellent book: well designed\, thoroughly engaging\, informative and\, unfortunately\, extremely topical and timely. The authors have gone to great lengths to make Killer Apps relentlessly up to date\, providing readers with the latest in weapons developments\, including AI drones and ‘swarmanoid’ robotics. With its impressive grounding in theory and hardware\, it will become the go-to book for critical understandings of the intersection of warfare\, media\, and enmity.” — Geoffrey Winthrop-Young\, author of Kittler and the Media

SUMMARY:Joan Frank: Where You're All Going
DESCRIPTION:Joan Frank discusses her new collection of novellas\, Where You’re All Going\, with Peg Alford Pursell. \nPraise for Where You’re All Going \n“Joan Frank’s wonderful novellas are funny\, edgy\, poignant and true. Attuned to the predicaments of the slight-outsider\, and of good people struggling to get by\, Frank gives us characters dealing with love lost and love sustained\, and the small essential intimacies that make up both. Her prose is vivid\, her observations sharp\, and everywhere music and song animate the conversation. You’ll feel more alive when you read these stories\, and hold closer to you the people you cherish.” —Sylvia Brownrigg  \n“Joan Frank has an uncanny ability to go deeply into character and with the lightest touch show us how divided we humans are in the most complicated matters of the heart. Where You’re All Going  is a marvel.” —Ann Packer\, NYT best-selling author of The Children’s Crusade   \n“Every novella in this book is\, in part\, about music\, from jazz to classical to Marvin Gaye. One could practically mark the first novella\, ‘staccato’; every paragraph begs to be read aloud\, to be heard. The stories are\, line after line\, brimming with a brisk freshness.” —Aimee Bender \nAbout Where You’re All Going \nIn her quartet of novellas\, Joan Frank invites readers into the inner lives of characters bewildered by love\, grief\, and inexplicable affinities. A young couple navigates a strange friendship and unexpected pregnancy; a woman recalls the bizarre fallout of her former lover’s fame; a lonely widow is drawn to an arrogant young man; a wealthy spiritual seeker grapples with what wealth cannot affect. Witty and humane\, Frank taps the riches of the novella form as she writes of loneliness\, friendship\, loss\, and the filaments of intimacy that connect us through time. \n

SUMMARY:Alastair Gee and Dani Anguiano: Fire in Paradise
DESCRIPTION:Journalist Alastair Gee and Dani Anguiano discuss Fire in Paradise\, their account about the 2018 Camp Fire\, one of the worst wildfires in U.S. history. \nAbout Fire in Paradise\nThe harrowing story of the most destructive American wildfire in a century. \nThere is no precedent in postwar American history for the destruction of the town of Paradise\, California.

It is\, finally\, a story of a new kind of fire behavior that firefighters have never witnessed before and barely know how to handle.?What happened in Paradise was unprecedented in America. Yet according to climate scientists and fire experts\, it will surely happen again. \nAbout the authors\nAlastair Gee is an award-winning editor and reporter at the Guardian who has also written for The New Yorker online\, the New York Times\, and the Economist. Gee lives in New York City. \nDani Anguiano writes for the Guardian and was a reporter for the Chico Enterprise-Record. Anguiano lives in the San Francisco Bay area.

SUMMARY:Shelter in Sunset Reading Series
DESCRIPTION:In but a moment’s time\, our lives have become hyperlocalized. Sheltering in place\, we become intensely aware of where we are\, and with whom. Bringing together poets in the neighborhood is one way to reimagine place\, belonging\, and how we make these. The map of poetry often allows us to lose restrictions of time and space. In another way\, place seeps through all that we do—all that we are. \nHere\, then. Presenting the Shelter in Sunset Reading Series\, edition one\, all the way from the Sunset District in Yelamu (San Francisco). \nFEATURING: \nArt Beck\nMonica Mody\nPireeni Sundaralingam\nRussell Reza-Khaliq Gonzaga\nSarah Heady \nOrganizer & host Monica Mody \nPlease RSVP using the form below. You will be sent the details of the video conference 90 minutes before the reading. \nRSVP form: https://forms.gle/n7w5A5TF5NTEW4qE8 \n(This event will not be recorded.) \n_____________________________ \nBios coming soon.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: ZYZZYVA & The Booksmith Present: Lockdown Lit @ Lunch with Clare Beams & Rachel Vorona Cote

If you’d like to support the store\, you can still do that in the usual ways: \n> Buy The Illness Lesson and/or Too Much and we’ll deliver them directly to your door.\n> Buy one of our gift certificates\, which we keep on file and never expire.\n> Make a donation. \nThank you very much for your support – we’re proud to be a legacy business and a mainstay of the Haight-Ashbury since 1976! \n\nThe Illness Lesson by Clare Beams \n“Brilliant\, suspenseful… A masterpiece.” – Elizabeth Gilbert\, author of City of Girls \nAt their newly founded school\, Samuel Hood and his daughter Caroline promise a groundbreaking education for young women. But Caroline has grave misgivings. After all\, her own unconventional education has left her unmarriageable and isolated\, unsuited to the narrow roles afforded women in 19th century New England. \nWhen a mysterious flock of red birds descends on the town\, Caroline alone seems to find them unsettling. But it’s not long before the assembled students begin to manifest bizarre symptoms: Rashes\, seizures\, headaches\, verbal tics\, night wanderings. One by one\, they sicken. Fearing ruin for the school\, Samuel overrules Caroline’s pleas to inform the girls’ parents and turns instead to a noted physician\, a man whose sinister ministrations — based on a shocking historic treatment — horrify Caroline. As the men around her continue to dictate\, disastrously\, all terms of the girls’ experience\, Caroline’s body too begins to betray her. To save herself and her young charges\, she will have to defy every rule that has governed her life\, her mind\, her body\, and her world. \nClare Beams’s extraordinary debut story collection We Show What We Have Learned earned comparisons to Shirley Jackson\, Karen Russell and Aimee Bender\, and established Beams as a writer who “creates magical-realist pieces that often calculate the high cost of being a woman” (The Rumpus). Precisely observed\, hauntingly atmospheric\, as fiercely defiant as it is triumphant\, The Illness Lesson is a spellbinding piece of storytelling.

SUMMARY:Lunch Visit and Discussion with Molly Wizenberg\, author of THE FIXED STARS
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion and Q&A with Molly Wizenberg\, author of The Fixed Stars. Molly will be in conversation with Ruby member Sana Javeri Kadri. Thanks to the publisher\, we have 3 copies of the book available to the first three people who sign up! Books will also be on sale the day of! \nThis is a potluck lunch so stay tuned on what to bring! \nAbout The Fixed Stars \nAt age 36\, while serving on a jury\, Molly Wizenberg found herself drawn to a female attorney she hardly knew. Married to a man for nearly a decade and mother to a toddler\, Wizenberg tried to return to her life as she knew it\, but something inside her had changed irredeemably. Instead\, she would discover that the trajectory of our lives is rarely as smooth or as logical as we’d like to believe. \nLike many of us\, Wizenberg had long understood sexual orientation as a stable part of ourselves: we’re “born this way.” Suddenly she realized that her story was more complicated. Who was she\, she wondered\, if something at her very core could change so radically? \nTHE FIXED STARS (Abrams Press; May 12\, 2020; U.S. $25.00; Hardcover) by New York Times bestselling and James Beard Award–winning author Molly Wizenberg is a taut\, electrifying memoir exploring timely and timeless questions about desire\, identity\, and the limits and possibilities of family. In honest and searing prose\, Wizenberg forges a new path: through the murk of separation and divorce\, coming out to family and friends\, learning to co-parent a young child\, and realizing a new vision of love. \nTHE FIXED STARS is a frank and moving story about letting go of rigid definitions and ideals that no longer fit\, and learning instead who we really are. \nAbout the Author \nMolly Wizenberg is the author of two bestselling books\, A Homemade Life and Delancey\, and the James Beard Award–winning blog Orangette. She has written for the Washington Post\, the Guardian\, Saveur\, and Bon Appétit\, and she also cohosts the podcast Spilled Milk. With chef Brandon Pettit\, Wizenberg cofounded the award-winning Seattle restaurants Delancey and Essex. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSource:: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/lunch-visit-and-discussion-with-molly-wizenberg-author-of-the-fixed-stars-tickets-93595559839
