SUMMARY:Femail: The Art of Sustainable Fashion
DESCRIPTION:TICKETSTo purchase over the phone: 415-392-4400 \nThis event appears in the series\nSpecial Events \n\n\nCamilla Carper and Janelle Abbott met at Parsons School of Design in 2008. After college\, both returned to their respective homelands on the West Coast: San Francisco and Seattle. Their need to maintain a friendship from afar was resolved with FEMAIL: an art and fashion collaboration conducted remotely by sending work back and forth through the USPS. Each time the pair passes work from one to the next\, new scraps and remnants are added\, sometimes\, things are taken away. They work reactively\, intuitively\, and with commas\, always. In this way\, what is created by FEMAIL is a documentation of duo’s conversations and ultimately\, their friendship. \n  \nAvery Trufelman produces original pieces about architecture and design for the award-winning podcast 99% Invisible by Radiotopia. In September of 2018\, she made a six-part series about clothing and fashion called Articles of Interest\, which was declared one of the best podcasts of 2018 by the New Yorker\, and the finale was called the”best podcast episode of the year” by Vulture.

SUMMARY:Rufi Thorpe: The Knockout Queen
DESCRIPTION:Rufi Thorpe discusses her new novel\, The Knockout Queen. \nPraise for The Knockout Queen \n“Is it cheesy to say The Knockout Queen knocked me off my feet? I couldn’t put it down\, and when I had to\, I did so only reluctantly\, shakily. With unrelenting humor and terrifying intelligence\, Rufi Thorpe tells the story of an unlikely high school friendship—the kind of friendship from which you never recover—with intensity and attentiveness. This captivating\, generous book is a moving examination on human motivation\, darkness\, and love—calling attention to the ways we can be deeply different\, and yet so much the same.” – Rachel Khong\, author of Goodbye\, Vitamin \n“Fearless\, tender\, and savagely alive\, The Knockout Queen is unlike anything you’ll read this year. Rufi Thorpe’s third novel is about unruly thoughts and unruly bodies\, about violence and love\, about doing the wrong thing for the right reasons and the drag of human being. You won’t be able to look away. You might even recognize yourself.” – Chloe Benjamin\, best-selling author of The Immortalists \n“The Knockout Queen is an intense\, unflinching examination of friendship\, the threads that connect us in such strange ways. Rufi Thorpe navigates this difficult terrain thanks to a masterful use of detail and a wonderfully dark sense of humor that lands at just the right moment. Michael and Bunny are two of the most unique characters I’ve ever met\, drawn with such precision that it’s impossible to leave them behind. This is a hypnotic\, beautiful novel\, and Rufi Thorpe is an unbelievably unique talent.” – Kevin Wilson\, best-selling author of Nothing to See Here \nAbout The Knockout Queen \nA dazzling and darkly comic novel of love\, violence\, and friendship in the California suburbs \nBunny Lampert is the princess of North Shore⁠—beautiful\, tall\, blond\, with a rich real-estate-developer father and a swimming pool in her backyard. Michael⁠⁠—with a ponytail down his back and a septum piercing⁠—lives with his aunt in the cramped stucco cottage next door. When Bunny catches Michael smoking in her yard\, he discovers that her life is not as perfect as it seems. At six foot three\, Bunny towers over their classmates. Even as she dreams of standing out and competing in the Olympics\, she is desperate to fit in\, to seem normal\, and to get a boyfriend\, all while hiding her father’s escalating alcoholism. Michael has secrets of his own. At home and at school Michael pretends to be straight\, but at night he tries to understand himself by meeting men online for anonymous encounters that both thrill and scare him. When Michael falls in love for the first time\, a vicious strain of gossip circulates and a terrible\, brutal act becomes the defining feature of both his and Bunny’s futures⁠⁠—and of their friendship. With storytelling as intoxicating as it is intelligent\, Rufi Thorpe has created a tragic and unflinching portrait of identity\, a fascinating examination of our struggles to exist in our bodies\, and an excruciatingly beautiful story of two humans aching for connection.
