SUMMARY:Andrew Roe w/ Ethel Rohan
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith is excited to host Andrew Roe reading from his new book\, the collection of stories Where You Live. He’ll be in conversation with our friend and yours Ethel Rohan. Please join us! \nThe California of Where You Live might have sun\, surf\, and sand\, but it’s more densely populated with cracking marriages\, accidental pregnancies\, and shitty jobs. Andrew Roe’s Californians face sharp points of change: Stay or go? Love or leave? Run or get stuck? Their choices\, like our own\, reveal life’s stark limitations and its wide-open vistas all at once. \nFull of lush prose and unforgettable imagery\, the stories in Where You Live shine an unforgiving yet shimmering light on longing\, loss\, and the everyday catastrophes of life.

SUMMARY:Tamara Shopsin
DESCRIPTION:Tamara Shopsin discusses her new book from MCD\, Arbitrary Stupid Goal. \n\nPraise for Arbitrary Stupid Goal \n“Tamara Shopsin’s new memoir is hilarious. Just in like the West Village itself\, you zigzag along on a fun adventure never knowing who you are going to meet.  What a fun read!”—Amy Sedaris \n  \n“Arbitrary Stupid Goal is a completely riveting world―when I looked up from its pages regular life seemed boring and safe and modern like one big iPhone. This book captures not just a lost New York but a whole lost way of life.”―Miranda July  \n  \n“Tamara Shopsin’s memoir is a funny and absorbing portrait of the city in a grubbier\, less corporate incarnation. If you believe\, as she does—and I do—that New York is ‘matter-of-fact\, the best place on earth\,’ then read this book. And if you don’t believe that\, after you read this book\, you will.”—Roz Chast \n\nAbout Arbitrary Stupid Goal \nIn Arbitrary Stupid Goal\, Tamara Shopsin takes the reader on a pointillist time-travel trip to the Greenwich Village of her bohemian 1970s childhood\, a funky\, tight-knit small town in the big city\, long before Sex and the City tours and luxury condos. The center of Tamara’s universe is Shopsin’s\, her family’s legendary greasy spoon\, aka The Store\, run by her inimitable dad\, Kenny a loquacious\, contrary\, huge-hearted man who\, aside from dishing up New York’s best egg salad on rye\, is Village sheriff\, philosopher\, and fixer all at once. All comers find a place at Shopsin’s table and feast on Kenny’s tall tales and trenchant advice along with the incomparable chili con carne. \n  \nFilled with clever illustrations and witty\, nostalgic photographs and graphics\, and told in a sly\, elliptical narrative that is both hilarious and endearing\, Arbitrary Stupid Goal is an offbeat memory-book mosaic about the secrets of living an unconventional life\, which is becoming a forgotten art.
