SUMMARY:Jack Bender w/ Jason Ritter
DESCRIPTION:A producer and director on projects such as Lost\, The Sopranos\, and Game of Thrones\, JACK BENDER shares his brilliant debut book\, Elephant in the Room. \nIf ever there was a children’s book for adults only\, this is the one: sweet and surreal\, playfully Picasso\, and full of cockeyed wisdom. I was charmed\, and I’m giving the damn thing to everyone. I think you ll do the same. My advice is grab a copy immediately. Yesterday\, if possible. -Stephen King\nThe Elephant in the Room\, is a collection of stories told through his art\, a lyrical interweaving of abstraction\, rich color and texture\, and surreal dreaminess. With themes of morality\, identity\, love\, loss\, death\, and birth\, these stories are tender and intimate\, but cut with Bender’s biting humor and a master storyteller’s sense of irony. \nA slideshow presentation will also be featured AND Jack will be interviewed by JASON RITTER\, from NBC’s Parenthood\, Comedy Central’s Drunk History and Another Period\, and Shoshanna’s love interest on HBO’s Girls.

SUMMARY:Rob Spillman + Glen David Gold
DESCRIPTION:Rob Spillman\, one of the founding editors of Tin House Magazine\, talks with Glen David Gold about his memoir\, All Tomorrow’s Parties. \nPraise for All Tomorrow’s Parties: \n“Spillman’s story of rarefied opera culture as a child\, and East German nightlife as an adult\, is limpid and lively in its telling\, and covers fascinating ground. Spillman is endearing and frank in his various adventures.” —Rachel Kushner \n“Achingly beautiful and brilliantly structured.” —David Shields \n“Spillman brilliantly—thrillingly—captures the velocity and the changing sounds of youth as it simultaneously hurls away from\, and toward\, home. This memoir rivets me to the page.” —Nick Flynn \n “Part survivor’s manual\, part travelogue\, part cultural history\, it’s a story of an arts-mad\, idealistic\, brave young man struggling to make his way—and find a place in the world.” —Michael Hainey \nAbout All Tomorrow’s Parties: \nRob Spillman\, the award-winning\, charismatic cofounding editor of the legendary “Tin House” magazine has devoted his life to the rebellious pursuit of artistic authenticity. Born in Germany to two driven musicians\, his childhood was spent among the West Berlin cognoscenti\, in a city two hundred miles behind the Iron Curtain. There\, the Berlin Wall stood as a stark reminder of the split between East and West\, between suppressed dreams and freedom of expression. \nAfter an unsettled youth moving between divorced parents in disparate cities\, Spillman would eventually find his way into the literary world of New York City\, only to abandon it to return to Berlin just months after the Wall came down. Twenty-five and newly married\, Spillman and his wife\, the writer Elissa Schappell\, moved to the anarchic streets of East Berlin in search of the bohemian lifestyle of their idols. But Spillman soon discovered he was chasing the one thing that had always eluded him: a place\, or person\, to call home. In his intimate\, entertaining\, and heartfelt memoir\, Spillman narrates a colorful\, music-filled coming-of-age portrait of an artist’s life that is also a cultural exploration of a shifting Berlin.
