SUMMARY:KSW Presents 'All This Wreckage\, In Your Own Language'
DESCRIPTION:KSW Presents “All This Wreckage\, In Your Own Language\,” a reading featuring two debut novelists-Elaine Castillo\, author of America Is Not the Heart\, and Ingrid Rojas Contreras\, author of Fruit of the Drunken Tree. The reading will be followed by a Q&A with Tayo Literary Magazine co-founder\, Melissa Sipin. \nThe title of this event brings together quotes from both books as their stories begin-when a letter arrives in Fruit of the Drunken Tree\, “bringing with it all this wreckage to our doorstep\,” and in America Is Not the Heart\, when “you can’t remember the last time someone told you to take care of yourself in your own language.” \nThis is a reading that gives language to the stories and wreckages of war and violence\, colonialism and dictatorship\, immigration and refuge\, family\, desperation\, and the decisions one makes towards a kind of survival. \nELAINE CASTILLO was born and raised in the Bay Area. She graduated from the University of California\, Berkeley with a degree in Comparative Literature. She is a Voices of Our Nation Arts Foundation Fellow\, and her writing can be found or is forthcoming from Freeman’s\, Lit Hub\, The Rumpus\, Taste Magazine\, Bon Appetit\, Electric Literature and elsewhere. Her debut novel AMERICA IS NOT THE HEART was published by Viking Books in the US/Canada and Atlantic Books (UK). \nINGRID ROJAS CONTRERAS is the author of Fruit of the Drunken Tree (Doubleday\, 2018)\, a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Pick. She was born and raised in Bogota\, Colombia. Her essays and short stories have appeared in the Nylon\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, Electric Literature\, Guernica\, and Huffington Post\, among others. She received fellowships from Bread Loaf Writer’s Conference\, and the San Francisco Writer’s Grotto. She currently teaches writing to immigrant high school students as part of a San Francisco Arts Commission initiative bringing artists into public schools. She is the book columnist for KQED.

SUMMARY:Jessica Hopper
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Hopper\, author of The First Collection of Criticism By A Living Female Rock Critic\, dicusses her new memoir\, Night Moves. \n\nPraise for Night Moves \n\n“Jessica Hopper’s Night Moves reads like a diary—immediate and urgent. Hopper and her friends prowl the streets of Chicago on bicycles\, always moving\, surrounded by both the city and a cocoon of occupied affection. It’s full of music and pets and friendship and made me feel as if the heating bills in Chicago would be worth it\, if one could have this sort of busy\, free life. The book exists in that space between fact and fiction\, between novel and memoir—but I knew right away that every word was true.” Emma Straub\, best-selling author of Modern Lovers \n\n“In Night Moves\, Jessica Hopper opens the window to a past that might have been my past\, or your past\, or the past of someone you know. It is a book of poems\, it is a memoir\, it is a living journal\, all at once. This is the best writing—personal\, but with two arms held wide open to invite you in. Night Moves is a book teeming with generosity. It gives and gives and asks only for an eager imagination in return.” Hanif Abdurraqib\, author of They Can’t Kill Us Until They Kill Us \n\n“In this vivid collection of snapshots from Hopper’s life as a beneficent renegade rock girl\, she manages to communicate so much more than what happened and what she thought about it. She takes you with her\, on every steamy summer bike ride\, to every jukebox and rock show and dive bar in her wild\, sweet young life.” Lizzy Goodman\, author of Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001–2011 \n\nAbout Night Moves \n\nWritten in taut\, mesmerizing\, often hilarious scenes drawn from 2004 through 2009\, Night Moves captures the fierce friendships and small moments that form us all. Drawing on her personal journals\, Jessica Hopper chronicles her time as a DJ\, living in decrepit punk houses\, biking to bad loft parties with her friends\, exploring Chicago deep into the night.
