SUMMARY:Augusten Burroughs / Toil & Trouble: A Memoir
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts a special evening with Augusten Burroughs for his new book\, Toil & Trouble: A Memoir. This will be his only SF/Bay Area appearance. Please join us! \nPlease note: this is a ticketed event\, to be held at Booksmith (1644 Haight St.) in San Francisco. The price of admission is equal to the cost of Toil & Trouble\, which is included with each ticket. Tickets can be purchased here. \n\n“Here’s a partial list of things I don’t believe in: God. The Devil. Heaven. Hell. Bigfoot. Ancient Aliens. Past lives. Life after death. Vampires. Zombies. Reiki. Homeopathy. Rolfing. Reflexology. Note that ‘witches’ and ‘witchcraft’ are absent from this list. The thing is\, I wouldn’t believe in them\, and I would privately ridicule any idiot who did\, except for one thing: I am a witch.” \nFor as long as Augusten Burroughs could remember\, he knew things he shouldn’t have known. He manifested things that shouldn’t have come to pass. And he told exactly no one about this\, save one person: his mother. His mother reassured him that it was all perfectly normal\, that he was descended from a long line of witches\, going back to the days of the early American colonies. And that this family tree was filled with witches. It was a bond that he and his mother shared — until the day she left him in the care of her psychiatrist to be raised in his family (but that’s a whole other story). After that\, Augusten was on his own. On his own to navigate the world of this tricky power; on his own to either use or misuse this gift. \nFrom the hilarious to the terrifying\, Toil & Trouble is a chronicle of one man’s journey to understand himself\, to reconcile the powers he can wield with things with which he is helpless. There are very few things that are coincidences\, as you will learn. Ghosts are real\, trees can want to kill you\, beavers are the spawn of Satan\, houses are alive\, and in the end\, love is the most powerful magic of all. \n\nAugusten Burroughs is the author of Running with Scissors\, Dry\, Magical Thinking: True Stories\, Possible Side Effects\, A Wolf at the Table and You Better Not Cry. He is also the author of the novel Sellevision\, which has been optioned for film. The film version of Running with Scissors\, directed by Ryan Murphy and produced by Brad Pitt\, was released in October 2006 and starred Joseph Cross\, Brian Cox\, Annette Bening (nominated for a Golden Globe for her role)\, Alec Baldwin and Evan Rachel Wood. Augusten’s writing has appeared in numerous magazines and newspapers around the world including The New York Times and New York Magazine. In 2005 Entertainment Weekly named him one of “The 25 Funniest People in America.” \n\n** Please note ** \n– This is an all-ages event. \n– The duration of this event is up to the author. \n– Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. \n– 1 ticket = 1 book\, no exceptions. The book must be purchased from Booksmith. If you already have a copy of Toil & Trouble\, remember that books make great gifts! If you’ve already gifted Toil & Trouble to all of your friends\, it’s ok to buy a different book from Booksmith instead — in that case\, please write events AT booksmith DOT com. \n– If you can’t attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Toil & Trouble\, order below and be sure to put your request in the special field. \n– Signing\, photo\, and Q&A details to come. \n– Facebook RSVP not required\, but always appreciated.

SUMMARY:Kim Magowan: The Light Source
DESCRIPTION:Kim Magowan discusses her new novel\, The Light Source. \nAbout The Light Source \nThe relationship between Heather Katchadourian and Julie Howe is complicated. Over the past two decades\, they’ve been just about everything to each other: boarding school roommates\, best friends\, lovers\, rivals\, even co-parents–both together and estranged. Will they find their way back to each other\, or have they inflicted too much damage along the way? Reminiscent of the work of Meg Wolitzer\, and narrated by Heather\, Julie\, their lifelong friends\, partners\, and children\, The Light Source is a prismatic portrayal of what everlasting modern love truly looks like and reminds us that what’s meant-to-be becomes harder to define with age.

SUMMARY:PICO IYER In Conversation with Dan Stone
DESCRIPTION:PICO IYER\nIn Conversation with Dan Stone\nThursday\, October 10\, 2019\, 7:30 pm\nVenue: Sydney Goldstein Theater\nSeries: “On Arts” Benefiting 826 Valencia Scholarship Program \n Buy Tickets | Buy Series Tickets | 415.392.4400 \n\n\n“As a guide to far-flung places\, Pico Iyer can hardly be surpassed.” – The New Yorker \nPico Iyer is a travel writer\, essayist\, and novelist\, whose many books include Video Night in Kathmandu\, The Lady and the Monk\, The Man Within My Head\, and The Art of Stillness\, a beautiful and thoughtful investigation of the benefits of quiet contemplation and travel to “nowhere.” With his two newest books\, Iyer turns his attention to Japan\, his adopted home of thirty-two years. Autumn Light is a moving personal account of grief and family. When his father-in-law dies suddenly\, Iyer begins to grapple with the question we all have to live with: how to hold on to the things we love. In A Beginner’s Guide to Japan\, Iyer draws on readings\, reflections\, and conversations with Japanese friends in order to illuminate an unknown place for newcomers and to give longtime residents a look at their home through fresh eyes.
