SUMMARY:Shanghai Faithful: Jennifer Lin
DESCRIPTION:Former China correspondent Jennifer Lin dramatizes 150 years of her family history in her new book\, Shanghai Faithful: Betrayal and Forgiveness in a Chinese Christian Family\, (Rowman & Littlefield\, March 2017). A reporter for The Philadelphia Inquirer for 31 years\, Lin used her skills as a reporter to weave oral history and archival resources into a narrative spanning five generations. Shanghai Faithful presents a poignant portrait of a family as well as a vivid history of Christianity in China\, stretching from the 19-century mission outposts of South China to the cathedrals of war-torn Shanghai and today’s thriving house churches at the heart of China’s unprecedented religious revival.  The program will be conducted in English.

SUMMARY:Poetry Workshop: Writing Home
DESCRIPTION:RAWI is excited to launch it’s second In Solidarity: RAWI Creative Writing Workshops in San Francisco! \nPlease join us for a poetry workshop\, “Writing Home” led by Deema K Shehabi at the Presidio Branch Library Community Room. \nWorkshop: Writing Home \nHaving lost our way home through dystopia\, exile\, and creeping environmental degradation\, how is it possible to reconstruct and/or recreate the idea of home through writing? By reading and studying a mix of contemporary poets who write about this theme\, this workshop will seek to place participants in a space where they can negotiate their identities through language and explore the relationship between the cultures\, histories\, and geographical locations of their original national and ethnic group. \nThe workshop includes a discussion and featured readings by Nathalie Khankan\, Lena Khalif Tuffah\, and Priscilla Wathington. \nRegister for free here.\n(Note: this program is not sponsored by San Francisco Public Library) \n

SUMMARY:Michael Chabon
DESCRIPTION:Michael Chabon joins us on Independent Bookstore Day to read from his new novel\, Moonglow. The classic arcade game Moon Patrol will also be available to play! \n\nPraise for Moonglow \n\n“Elegiac and deeply poignant … Chabon weaves these knotted-together tales together into a tapestry that’s as complicated\, beautiful and flawed as an antique carpet…. Chabon is one of contemporary literature’s most gifted prose stylists…. In Moonglow\, he writes with both lovely lyricism and highly caffeinated fervor.” — Michiko Kakutani \n\n“Mix[es] in generous dollops of meaning\, a sprinkling of fancy metaphors and an abundance of beautiful sentences so that it becomes a rich and exotic confection. Too strict a recipe would have spoiled the charm of this layer cake of nested memories and family legends.… This book is beautiful.” — A.O. Scott \n\nA flamboyantly imaganitive work of fiction dressed in the sheep’s clothing of autobiography….His most confident and complex performance….Moonglow is a movingly bittersweet novel that balances wonder with lamentation.” — Sam Sacks\, The Wall Street Journal \n\nAbout Moonglow \n\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\, from a Florida retirement village to the penal utopia of New York’s Wallkill prison\, 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. \n
