SUMMARY:Vegas Tenold
DESCRIPTION:discussing his new book \nEverything You Love Will Burn \npublished by Nation Books \nSix years ago\, Vegas Tenold embedded himself among the members of three of America’s most ideologically extreme white nationalist groups-the KKK\, the National Socialist Movement\, and the Traditionalist Workers Party. At the time\, these groups were part of a disorganized counterculture that felt far from the mainstream. \nBut since then\, all that has changed. Racially-motivated violence has been on open display at rallies in Charlottesville\, Berkeley\, Pikesville\, Phoenix\, and Boston. Membership in white nationalist organizations is rising\, and national politicians\, including the president\, are validating their perceived grievances. \nEverything You Love Will Burn offers a terrifying\, sobering inside look at these newly empowered movements\, from their conventions to backroom meetings with Republican operatives. Tenold introduces us to neo-Nazis in Brooklyn; a millennial Klanswoman in Tennessee; and a rising star in the movement\, nicknamed the “Little Führer” by the Southern Poverty Law Center\, who understands political power and is organizing a grand coalition of far-right groups to bring them into the mainstream. \nEverything You Love Will Burn takes readers to the dark\, paranoid underbelly of America\, a world in which the white race is under threat and the enemy is everywhere. \n\n\nVegas Tenold is an award-winning journalist. He has covered the far right in America for years\, as well as human rights in Russia\, conflict in central Africa and the Middle East\, and national security. A graduate of Columbia University’s School of Journalism\, his work has appeared in publications including the New York Times\, Rolling Stone\, New Republic\, and Al Jazeera America. He was born and raised in Norway\, and lives in Brooklyn.

SUMMARY:Patton Oswalt presents I'll Be Gone in the Dark at Public Works SF
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith is thrilled to welcome Patton Oswalt to Public Works SF to discuss his late wife Michelle McNamara’s book I’ll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman’s Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer. \nTickets start at $15 and are on sale now. Signing information and other details coming soon! Stay tuned. \n\n“You’ll be silent forever\, and I’ll be gone in the dark.” \nOver the course of more than ten years\, a mysterious and violent predator committed fifty sexual assaults in Northern California before moving south\, where he perpetrated ten sadistic murders. In 1986 he disappeared\, eluding capture by multiple police forces and some of the best detectives in the area. \nThree decades later\, Michelle McNamara\, a true-crime journalist who created the popular website True Crime Diary\, was determined to find the violent psychopath she called the Golden State Killer. Michelle pored over police reports\, inter-viewed victims\, and embedded herself in the online communities that were as obsessed with the case as she was. \nAt the time of the crimes\, the Golden State Killer was between the ages of eighteen and thirty\, Caucasian\, and athletic—capable of vaulting tall fences. He always wore a mask. After choosing his victims—he favored suburban couples—he often entered their homes when no one was there\, studying family pictures\, mastering the layouts. He attacked while they slept\, using a flashlight to awaken and blind them. Though they could not recognize him\, his victims recalled his voice: a guttural whisper through clenched teeth\, abrupt and threatening. \nI’ll Be Gone in the Dark—the masterpiece McNamara was writing at the time of her sudden death—offers an atmospheric snapshot of a moment in American history and a chilling account of a criminal mastermind and the wreckage he left behind. It is also a portrait of a woman’s obsession and her unflagging pursuit of the truth. Framed by an introduction from Gillian Flynn and an afterword by McNamara’s husband\, Patton Oswalt\, the book was completed by Michelle’s lead researcher and a close colleague. Utterly original and compelling\, it is destined to become a true-crime classic—and may at last unmask the Golden State Killer. \n\nPatton Oswalt is a comedian\, actor\, and writer. From his award-winning comedy specials to his many memorable film roles and guest appearances on his favorite TV shows (including Parks and Recreation\, for which he received a TV Critics Choice Award)\, Oswalt continues to choose work that inspires him and entertains audiences. He tours regularly and extensively\, headlining both in the United States\, Canada\, and the UK. \nOn TV\, Oswalt had a starring role on Adult Swims The Heart\, She Holler\, was a series regular on Showtimes United States of Tara\, recurred on the SyFy series Caprica\, and has had many guest roles on Veep\, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.\, Parks and Recreation\, Justified\, Two and a Half Men\, Portlandia\, Bored to Death\, Flight of the Conchords\, The Sarah Silverman Program\, Tim and Erics Awesome Show\, and Seinfeld\, among others. He is also very well known for playing Spence on The King of Queens for nine seasons. He was also a regular contributor to Countdown with Keith Olbermann\, Real Time with Bill Maher\, and Lewis Blacks Root of All Evil. Oswalt also has a regular\, bi-monthly show at the new Largo at the Coronet Theater in Los Angeles. Both of his published books Zombie Spaceship Wasteland (2011) and Silver Screen Fiend (2015) are New York Times Best Sellers. \nMichelle McNamaras (1970-2016) fascination with unsolved murders began as a teenager\, when a young girl was killed less than half a mile from her familys home. As an adult\, she channeled her obsession into the website True Crime Diary. After earning an MFA in fiction writing from the University of Minnesota\, she sold two television pilots to ABC and Fox and a screenplay to Paramount. She lived in Los Angeles and is survived by her husband\, Patton Oswalt\, and their daughter\, Alice. \n  \n\n  \nPlease remember: tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. Public Works SF is a 21+ venue. \n  \nThis is a standing room only event; if you need a seat or other special considerations\, please contact events at booksmith dot com at least one week prior to the event. Thanks!

SUMMARY:The Endless Summer
DESCRIPTION:Madame Nielsen\, one of Denmark’s most daring artists\, joins Scott Esposito to discuss The Endless Summer\, translated by Gaye Kynoch and published by Open Letter Books. \nA passionate love story about a Danish woman and a much younger Portuguese artist\, The Endless Summer confronts ideas of time\, sexuality\, and tragedy in a style reminiscent of both Proust and Lars Von Trier. \nEmotional and visceral\, the novel drifts through time and space\, relating the lives\, loves\, and dissolutions of everyone who surrounds this unexpected couple\, including the woman’s ex-husband who holds the family at gunpoint\, her daughter\, and her lovers\, who include a boy who finds himself and his true sexual identity in America. There is also the young boy who “is perhaps a girl\, but does not yet know it\,” who narrates it all. \nPropelled by a captivating story\, the real charm of the novel is its impeccable style and atmosphere\, which is imbued with longing\, a nostalgia for times that thrum with possibility\, even if the endless summer may not last forever.

SUMMARY:Madame Nielsen with Scott Esposito
DESCRIPTION:Madame Nielsen discusses their new novel\, The Endless Summer with Scott Esposito. Sponsored by The Center for the Art of Translation. \n\nPraise for The Endless Summer \n\n“The Endless Summer by Madame Nielsen is my literary discovery of the year.” ―Sjón \n\n“Once in a while\, after you’ve finished a book and put it down\, you wish that the author was a good friend and you could call her whenever you felt sad. It’s not something that happens often. But it does when you read Karen Blixen and Marguerite Duras and Virginia Woolf. And Madame Nielsen.”―Christian Kracht \n\nAbout The Endless Summer \n\nA passionate love story about a Danish woman and a much younger Portuguese artist\, The Endless Summer confronts ideas of time\, sexuality\, and tragedy in a style reminiscent of both Marcel Proust and Lars Von Trier. \n  \nEmotional and visceral\, the novel drifts through time and space\, relating the lives\, loves\, and dissolutions of everyone who surrounds this unexpected couple: the woman’s former husband\, who holds the family at gunpoint; her daughter and her lovers\, who include a boy who finds himself and his true sexual identity in America; and the young boy who “is perhaps a girl\, but does not yet know it\,” who narrates everyone’s stories. \n  \nPropelled by a captivating story\, the real charm of the novel resides in its impeccable style and atmosphere\, which gathers a sense of longing\, a slight nostalgia for times that ache with possibility\, while knowing that even the endless summer doesn’t last forever.

SUMMARY:Lee Bruno / Misfits\, Merchants & Mayhem
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery is excited to host Lee Bruno presenting his new book\, Misfits\, Merchants & Mayhem: Tales from San Francisco’s Historic Waterfront\, 1849-1934—join us! \nThe waterfront is where it all began for San Francisco. It’s where untold numbers of adventurers and fortune-hunters first stepped foot upon the land that embodied possibility. It’s where ships from around the world\, carrying sea-faring gold seekers\, maritime traders\, free-spirited mavericks\, and hopeful immigrants\, came to anchor. And it’s where the unconventional\, opportunistic\, and indefatigable embarked. Misfits\, Merchants & Mayhem shares the stories of exceptional newcomers and outliers\, whose intrepid spirits helped to transform a small port into one of the most beautiful\, unpredictable\, and beloved cities in the world. \nLee Bruno explores nearly a century of waterfront history\, ranging from the Gold Rush to the Jazz Age\, telling the tales of the enterprising entrepreneurs\, reckless financiers\, tireless reformers\, visionary architects and city planners\, and bohemian artists\, musicians\, and poets who all heeded the call of promise. With more than 100 historical images\, Misfits\, Merchants & Mayhem celebrates the famous (and infamous) characters whose charismatic personalities and perseverance created the institutions\, businesses\, and cultural fabric of San Francisco. \n— \nEver since discovering his great grandfather Reuben Hale’s inspiring letters and speeches\, Lee Bruno has been digging into San Francisco’s rich history. Lee\, who received his MS in science journalism from Boston University\, is the author of Panorama: Tales from San Francisco’s 1915 Pan-Pacific International Exposition (Cameron + Company) and has been writing for over 20 years about business and technology for the Economist\, the Guardian\, MIT Technology Review\, Red Herring magazine\, and Wired\, among others. He has lived in San Francisco for more than 30 years\, raising a family of four boys with his wife and enjoying long open-water swims with the eccentrics at the South End Rowing Club.
