SUMMARY:Tom Barbash & Keith Scribner
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \nreading from new work \nKeith Scribner reads from \nOld Newgate Road \npublished by Alfred Knopf \nTom Barbash reads from \nThe Dakota Winters \npublished by Ecco Press \nabout Old Newgate Road: \nFrom the author of The Oregon Experiment\, the story of a father’s return to his childhood home\, the site of unspeakable tragedy\, and of the complex and often warring obligations–not least forgiveness–we have to our family\, our friends\, and our past. \nOld Newgate Road runs through the tobacco fields of northern Connecticut that once drove the local economy. It’s where Cole Callahan spent his youth\, in a historic white colonial that his family was devoted to restoring–painstakingly\, relentlessly\, pointlessly. But the famous claim that you can’t go home again falls far short in this instance. Cole has not come back to this house\, to this street\, in thirty years–not since he was a teenager\, when one night his father murdered his mother in a fit of rage. Now\, however\, he finally dares to risk it\, ostensibly to collect precious material for his construction business on the west coast\, and is shocked to discover his elderly father\, freed from prison\, living alone in their old home\, and succumbing to dementia. Compelled by a sense of responsibility to a man he hates\, and confronted in middle age by everything he’d left unfinished when he fled this place in his aborted childhood\, he finds that the time for a reckoning has at last come. \nMatters grow even more complicated when his estranged wife calls to say their ultra-progressive\, rabble-rousing son has run up against the law and been expelled from high school. And so Cole summons Daniel to East Granby to work in the tobacco fields–his own job growing up–and soon their lives are enmeshed with the family legacy\, and with Cole’s boyhood sweetheart as well as his nemesis. What unfolds over this summer surprises and challenges them all\, as they contend with the sinister history they share and desperately try to invent a future that isn’t doomed by it. \nAbout The Dakota Winters \nAn evocative and wildly absorbing novel about the Winters\, a family living in New York City’s famed Dakota apartment building in the year leading up to John Lennon’s assassination \nIt’s the fall of 1979 in New York City when twenty-three-year-old Anton Winter\, back from the Peace Corps and on the mend from a nasty bout of malaria\, returns to his childhood home in the Dakota. Anton’s father\, the famous late-night host Buddy Winter\, is there to greet him\, himself recovering from a breakdown. Before long\, Anton is swept up in an effort to reignite Buddy’s stalled career\, a mission that takes him from the gritty streets of New York\, to the slopes of the Lake Placid Olympics\, to the Hollywood Hills\, to the blue waters of the Bermuda Triangle\, and brings him into close quarters with the likes of Johnny Carson\, Ted and Joan Kennedy\, and a seagoing John Lennon. \nBut the more Anton finds himself enmeshed in his father’s professional and spiritual reinvention\, the more he questions his own path\, and fissures in the Winter family begin to threaten their close bond. By turns hilarious and poignant\, The Dakota Winters is a family saga\, a page-turning social novel\, and a tale of a critical moment in the history of New York City and the country at large. \nTom Barbash is the author of the award-winning novel\, The Last Good Chance\, which was was awarded the California Book Award\, and the short story collection Stay Up With Me\, which was a national bestseller and was nominated for the Folio Prize. His nonfiction book\, On Top of the World: Cantor Fitzgerald\, Howard Lutnick\, and 9/11: A Story of Loss and Renewal\, was a New York Times bestseller. His stories and articles have been published in Tin House\, McSweeney’s\, VQR\, and other publications\, and have been performed on National Public Radio for their Selected Shorts Series. He currently teaches in the MFA program at California College of the Arts. \nKeith Scribner grew up in Troy\, New York\, and then East Granby\, Connecticut. His previous novels are The Oregon Experiment\, Miracle Girl\, and The GoodLife\, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. He currently teaches at Oregon State University in Corvallis\, where he lives with his wife\, the poet Jennifer Richter\, and their children.

SUMMARY:Stephanie Land / Maid: Hard Work\, Low Pay\, and a Mother's Will to Survive
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts a special Saturday afternoon event to welcome Stephanie Land for her remarkable memoir Maid: Hard Work\, Low Pay\, and a Mother’s Will to Survive. Please join us! \n  \n“My daughter learned to walk in a homeless shelter.” \nWhile the gap between upper middle-class Americans and the working poor widens\, grueling low-wage domestic and service work–primarily done by women–fuels the economic success of the wealthy. Stephanie Land worked for years as a maid\, pulling long hours while struggling as a single mom to keep a roof over her daughter’s head. In Maid\, she reveals the dark truth of what it takes to survive and thrive in today’s inequitable society. \nWhile she worked hard to scratch her way out of poverty as a single parent\, scrubbing the toilets of the wealthy\, navigating domestic labor jobs\, higher education\, assisted housing\, and a tangled web of government assistance\, Stephanie wrote. She wrote the true stories that weren’t being told. The stories of overworked and underpaid Americans. \nWritten in honest\, heart-rending prose and with great insight\, Maid explores the underbelly of upper-middle class America and the reality of what it’s like to be in service to them. “I’d become a nameless ghost\,” Stephanie writes. With this book\, she gives voice to the “servant” worker\, those who fight daily to scramble and scrape by for their own lives and the lives of their children. \n  \n\n  \n“If this book inspires you\, which it may\, remember how close it came to never being written. Stephanie might have given in to despair or exhaustion; she might have suffered a disabling injury at work. Think too of all the women who\, for reasons like that\, never manage to get their stories told. Stephanie reminds us that they are out there in the millions\, each heroic in her own way\, waiting for us to listen.” – From the Foreword to Maid by Barbara Ehrenreich\, New York Times bestselling author of Nickel and Dimed \n  \n“What this book does well is illuminate the struggles of poverty and single-motherhood\, the unrelenting frustration of having no safety net\, the ways in which our society is systemically designed to keep impoverished people mired in poverty\, the indignity of poverty by way of unmovable bureaucracy\, and people’s lousy attitudes toward poor people… Land’s prose is vivid and engaging… [A] tightly-focused\, well-written memoir… an incredibly worthwhile read.” – Roxane Gay\, New York Times bestselling author of Bad Feminist and Hunger: A Memoir \n  \n“Marry the evocative first person narrative of Educated with the kind of social criticism seen in Nickel and Dimed and you’ll get a sense of the remarkable book you hold in your hands. In Maid\, Stephanie Land\, a gifted storyteller with an eye for details you’ll never forget\, exposes what it’s like to exist in America as a single mother\, working herself sick cleaning our dirty toilets\, one missed paycheck away from destitution. It’s a perspective we seldom see represented firsthand-and one we so desperately need right now. Timely\, urgent\, and unforgettable\, this is memoir at its very best.” – Susannah Cahalan\, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness \n\n  \nStephanie Land‘s work has been featured in The New York Times\, The New York Review of Books\, The Washington Post\, The Guardian\, Vox\, Salon\, and many other outlets. She lives in Missoula\, Montana. \n  \n  \nPlease note: this event will be held at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. \n  \nThis is an all ages event with mature themes. The bar opens with doors at 2pm; event starts at 4pm. \n  \nAs with all of our events\, seating may be limited; you can guarantee a seat by pre-purchasing the book below — when checking out\, just be sure to include a note that you’d like to attend the event. If you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Maid\, order below and put your request in the comments field. \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required.

SUMMARY:GennaRose Nethercott and Miriam Bird Greenberg
DESCRIPTION:GennaRose Nethercott discusses her new collection\, The Lumberjack’s Dove with Miriam Bird Greenberg. Also featuring live shadow puppetry! \n  \n“Serious art does not need to be weighty or explicitly topical. It can be\, as it is here\, apparently as light as a feather: The Lumberjack’s Dove is\, in its manner\, a folktale; it is also a meditation on attachment\, on loss\, on transformation. Like its less humble relatives\, myth and parable\, it is pithy\, magical\, its many insights\, its cautions and clarifications\, unfolding in a chain of brief scenes and koan-like revelations. This is a book of unexpected lightness and buoyancy\, as necessary in our tense period as the more urgent confrontations.” –Louise Gluck \nA boldly original and visceral debut collection from the winner of the 2017 National Poetry Series Competition\, selected by Louise Gluck \nIn the ingenious and vividly imagined narrative poem The Lumberjack’s Dove\, GennaRose Nethercott describes a lumberjack who cuts his hand off with an axe—however\, instead of merely being severed\, the hand shapeshifts into a dove. Far from representing just an event of pain and loss in the body\, this incident spirals outward to explore countless facets of being human\, prompting profound reflections on sacrifice and longing\, time and memory\, and—finally—considering the act of storytelling itself. The lumberjack\, his hand\, and the axe that separated the two all become participants in the story\, with unique perspectives to share and lessons to impart. “I taught your fathers how to love\,” Axe says to the acorns and leaves around her. “I mean to be felled\, sliced to lumber\, & reassembled into a new body.” \nInflected with the uncanny enchantment of modern folklore and animated by the sly shifting of points-of-view\, The Lumberjack’s Dove is wise\, richly textured poetry from a boundlessly creative new voice.

SUMMARY:Chloe Aridjis
DESCRIPTION:reading from \nSea Monsters: A Novel \npublished by Catapult Press \nPulsing to the soundtrack of Joy Division\, Nick Cave\, and Siouxsie and the Banshees\, an intoxicating portrait of Mexico in the late 1980s by this brilliant Guggenheim fellow and Prix du Premier Roman Étranger–winning author. \nOne autumn afternoon in Mexico City\, seventeen-year-old Luisa does not return home from school. Instead\, she boards a bus to the Pacific coast with Tomás\, a boy she barely knows. He seems to represent everything her life is lacking—recklessness\, impulse\, independence. Tomás may also help Luisa fulfill an unusual obsession: she wants to track down a traveling troupe of Ukrainian dwarfs. According to newspaper reports\, the dwarfs recently escaped a Soviet circus touring Mexico. The imagined fates of these performers fill Luisa’s surreal dreams as she settles in a beach community in Oaxaca. Surrounded by hippies\, nudists\, beachcombers\, and eccentric storytellers\, Luisa searches for someone\, anyone\, who will “promise\, no matter what\, to remain a mystery.” It is a quest more easily envisioned than accomplished. As she wanders the shoreline and visits the local bar\, Luisa begins to disappear dangerously into the lives of strangers on Zipolite\, the “Beach of the Dead.” \nMeanwhile\, her father has set out to find his missing daughter. A mesmeric portrait of transgression and disenchantment unfolds. Sea Monsters is a brilliantly playful and supple novel about the moments and mysteries that shape us. \nChloe Aridjis is a Mexican-American writer who was born in New York and grew up in the Netherlands and Mexico. After completing her Ph.D. at the University of Oxford in nineteenth-century French poetry and magic shows\, she lived for nearly six years in Berlin. Her debut novel\, Book of Clouds\, has been published in eight languages and won the Prix du Premier Roman Étranger in France. Aridjis sometimes writes about art and insomnia and was a guest curator at Tate Liverpool. In 2014\, she was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. She lives in London. \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Poetry Center Book Award Reading: Lauren Levin and Melissa Mack\, reading and in conversation
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 21 – 7:00 pm\n\n\n\n\nThe Poetry Center\, HUM 512\, San Francisco State University\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI eat crumbs out of the baby’s neck\nI’m glad there are no great poems by women\nI’m glad there are no great poems by Jews\nI’m glad there are no great poems about motherhood\nI’m glad no great poems have ever been written. \n—Lauren Levin\, from The Braid \nThe Poetry Center presents Poetry Center Book Award winner Lauren Levin\, author of The Braid\, (Krupskaya Books)\, together with award judge Melissa Mack. Both poets read from their work\, then engage in conversation with each other and the audience. This event is free and open to the public. \n\nMany of the books I read for the Poetry Center Book Award spoke to me\, were doing urgent and interesting work\, shared vital rhythms\, sounds\, forms\, and concerns. But The Braid rose. It articulated and worried—as in worked\, as in worried—some of my (and I would venture to say ‘our’) most pressing concerns. What I’m looking for is a way to join with the world / and love won’t let me do that any more than hatred will. And the way it did so was expansive and specific\, so good at the vague grammar of consciousness and the precision of “personal” experience. Maybe I should call this poem that refuses to stop / ‘the care-giver’ / or ‘the shepherdess’ or ‘the murderess’… Levin’s long poems made of long lines allow tenderness and aggression to coexist\, like in the game Levin plays with daughter Alejandra\, “Little bee\, little bee\, don’t sting your mama” / while she nudges my face with her mouth and nose … / and shouts into my mouth\, STING! Also\, the principal of the braid as a combinatory form in which the source materials remain fully themselves\, even when brought together\, I found so respectful and responsible in this era of cooption\, merging\, networks. Different bodies at different times in different places have different experiences. The obvious things are worth saying instead. Once\, my niece\, five years old or so\, told me\, of a party she’d been to\, “There was a part where I didn’t feel included.” I felt included in this braid alright. Levin’s examination of whiteness as the pastoral—willful innocence and a desire to be soothed\, to be able to exit the scene at any time—and of persistent anxiety was gripping. But I do believe that it is meaningful / where relief and solace come from // If I am not afraid / because I have been listening to Reagan speeches / vs. if I am not afraid // Because the bravery of my murdered friends / has taken my fear away / That is a meaningful distinction. The Braid is rigorous and uncomfortable and beautiful and I am glad to have picked it for this award and I hope everyone reads it.\n—Melissa Mack\, judge’s citation for the Poetry Center Book Award\n\nLauren Levin is a poet\, mixed-genre writer and art critic\, author of The Braid (Krupskaya\, 2016) and Justice Piece // Transmission (Timeless\, Infinite Light\, 2018). Their gender identity is some mix of belated queer\, Jewish great-aunt\, and aspirational Frank O’Hara. They are still figuring it out. They live in Richmond\, CA\, are from New Orleans\, LA\, and are committed to queer art\, intersectional feminism\, being a parent\, and anxiety. \nMelissa Mack is the author of The Next Crystal Text (Timeless\, Infinite Light\, 2018) and the chapbook Includes All Strangers (Hooke Press\, 2014). Her work has also appeared in a variety of anthologies\, journals\, poet’s theater\, and that most ephemeral of forms\, the public reading. She organizes with the Oakland Summer School\, a collaborative\, non-institutional space of gathering & study created by a group of activists\, artists\, and educators\, and she lives and works in Oakland. \n\n\n\n\nEvent contact:\n\nThe Poetry Center\n\n\n\nEvent email:\n\npoetry@sfsu.edu\n\n\n\nEvent phone:\n\n415-338-2227\n\n\n\nEvent sponsor:\n\nThe Poetry Center

SUMMARY:Marina Mularz
DESCRIPTION:Marina Mularz discusses her new story collection\, Welcome to Freedom Point. \n\nPraise for Welcome to Freedom Point \n“Fresh\, witty\, delightfully weird\, Welcome to Freedom Point is equally infused with quirky charm\, youthful energy\, and the palpable sense of age-old loneliness that can sneak up and gut you. A collection of deeply human contradictions.”– GINA FRANGELLO Author of A Life in Men and Every Kind of Wanting \nAbout Welcome to Freedom Point \nIt’s all happening in the small town of Freedom Point\, Wisconsin Karlee Starr explores the rhythms of young love and snot-soaked heartache on a middle school dance floor. Thirteen-year-old Jacob Kentor suffers an identity crisis at Hooters. Desperate yeti hunting conceals the death of a marriage. A motivational speech ends in arrest. Equal parts humor and heartbreak\, Welcome to Freedom Point dissects the thrills and spoils of small-town adolescence in a series of linked stories that captures the essence of what it means to come of age…at any age. In the spaces between each uproarious episode\, the good people of Freedom Point collectively celebrate–or simply survive–the deeply human art of aiming for more one uncomfortable leap at a time.

SUMMARY:Christie Aschwanden / Good to Go: What the Athlete in All of Us Can Learn from the Strange Science of Recovery
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts a special afternoon event with acclaimed FiveThirtyEight science writer Christie Aschwanden for her new book Good to Go: What the Athlete in All of Us Can Learn from the Strange Science of Recovery. More information to be announced — please save the date and join us! \n  \nIn recent years recovery has become a sports and fitness buzzword. Anyone who works out or competes at any level is bombarded with the latest recovery products and services: from drinks and shakes to compression sleeves\, foam rollers\, electrical muscle stimulators\, and sleep trackers. \n  \nIn Good to Go\, Aschwanden takes readers on an entertaining and enlightening tour through this strange world. She investigates whether drinking Gatorade or beer after training helps or hinders performance; she examines the latest trends among athletes\, from NFL star Tom Brady’s infrared pajamas to gymnast Simone Biles’ pneumatic compression boots to swimmer Michael Phelps’ “cupping” ritual; and she tests some of the most controversial methods herself\, including cryochambers\, float tanks\, and infrared saunas. \n  \nAt a time when the latest recovery products and services promise so much\, Good to Go seeks answers to the fundamental question: Do any of them actually help the body recover and achieve peak performance? \n  \n\n  \nChristie Aschwanden is the lead writer for science at FiveThirtyEight and health columnist for the Washington Post. A finalist for the National Magazine Award\, her writing has appeared in Outside\, Discover\, Smithsonian and O\, The Oprah Magazine. She lives in Colorado. \n  \nPlease note: this event will be held at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. \n  \nThis is an all ages event with mature themes. The bar opens with doors at 2pm; event starts at 4pm. \n  \nAs with all of our events\, seating may be limited; you can guarantee a seat by pre-purchasing the book below — when checking out\, just be sure to include a note that you’d like to attend the event. If you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of Good to Go\, order below and put your request in the comments field. \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required.

SUMMARY:Tommy Orange
DESCRIPTION: Buy Tickets | Buy Series Tickets | 415.392.4400 \n\n\nWith his stunning debut novel\, There There\, Tommy Orange asks readers to examine their assumptions about who Native Americans are and how and where they live. The fierce and sorrowful novel grapples with the complex and painful history of a multigenerational Native American family living in Oakland\, at once celebrating their rich spiritual heritage and illuminating the profound consequences of systematic discrimination. A recent graduate from the MFA program at the Institute of American Indian Arts\, Orange is a member of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. He does not take the responsibilities and impact of his public voice lightly\, telling PBS that “when people think the only way to be Native or the only way to look Native is based on a historical\, head-dressed feathered image\, you have already disappeared.” \nJeff Chang is a journalist\, music critic\, and the author of Who We Be\, Can’t Stop Won’t Stop\, and We Gon’ Be Alright. He is the former Director of the Institute for Diversity in the Arts at Stanford University and currently serves as Vice President of Narrative\, Arts\, and Culture at Race Forward

SUMMARY:Maxine Gordon on the life and legacy of Jazz legend Dexter Gordon
DESCRIPTION:celebrating the release of \nSophisticated Giant:The Life and Legacy of Dexter Gordon \nby Maxine Gordon (Author)\, Farah Jasmine Griffin (Foreword)\, Woody Louis Armstrong Shaw III (Afterword) \npublished by University of California Press \nSophisticated Giant presents the life and legacy of tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon (1923–1990)\, one of the major innovators of modern jazz. In a context of biography\, history\, and memoir\, Maxine Gordon has completed the book that her late husband began\, weaving his “solo” turns with her voice and a chorus of voices from past and present. Reading like a jazz composition\, the blend of research\, anecdote\, and a selection of Dexter’s personal letters reflects his colorful life and legendary times. It is clear why the celebrated trumpet genius Dizzy Gillespie said to Dexter\, “Man\, you ought to leave your karma to science.” \nDexter Gordon the icon is the Dexter beloved and celebrated on albums\, on film\, and in jazz lore–even in a street named for him in Copenhagen. But this image of the cool jazzman fails to come to terms with the multidimensional man full of humor and wisdom\, a figure who struggled to reconcile being both a creative outsider who broke the rules and a comforting insider who was a son\, father\, husband\, and world citizen. This essential book is an attempt to fill in the gaps created by our misperceptions as well as the gaps left by Dexter himself. \n\n\nMaxine Gordon is an independent scholar with a lifetime career working with jazz musicians. As an oral historian and archivist in the fields of jazz and African American cultural history\, Sophisticated Giant fulfills the promise she made to her late husband\, jazz saxophonist and Academy Award-nominated actor Dexter Gordon\, to complete his biography.

SUMMARY:Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o
DESCRIPTION:  \n   reading from \nMinutes of Glory and Other Stories \npublished by The New Press \nA dazzling short story collection from the person Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie calls “one of the greatest writers of our time” \n\n\n\nNgũgĩ wa Thiong’o\, although renowned for his novels\, memoirs\, and plays\, honed his craft as a short story writer. From “The Fig Tree” (“Mugumo” in this collection)\, written in 1960\, his first year as an undergraduate at Makerere University College in Uganda\, to the playful “The Ghost of Michael Jackson\,” written as a professor at the University of California\, Irvine\, these collected stories reveal a master of the short form. \nCovering the period of British colonial rule and resistance in Kenya to the bittersweet experience of independence—and including two stories that have never before been published in the United States— Ngũgĩ’s collection features women fighting for their space in a patriarchal society; big men in their Bentleys who have inherited power from the British; and rebels who still embody the fighting spirit of the downtrodden. One of Ngũgĩ’s most beloved stories\, “Minutes of Glory\,” tells of Beatrice\, a sad but ambitious waitress who fantasizes about being feted and lauded over by the middle-class clientele in the city’s beer halls. Her dream leads her on a witty and heartbreaking adventure. \nPublished for the first time in America\, Minutes of Glory and Other Stories is a major literary event that celebrates the storytelling might of one of Africa’s best-loved writers. \nOne of the leading writers and scholars at work today\, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o was born in Limuru\, Kenya\, in 1938. He is the author of A Grain of Wheat; Weep Not\, Child; and Petals of Blood\, as well as Birth of a Dream Weaver\, Wrestling with the Devil\, and Minutes of Glory (all from The New Press).\nCurrently Distinguished Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California\, Irvine\, Ngũgĩ is recipient of twelve honorary doctorates\, among other awards. \nWhat has been said about the work of \n\n\n\nThis thrilling testament to the human spirit had\, for me\, a fierce resonance. . . . I could not help feeling that his luminous words were meant for those victims and many others being persecuted across the world\, a way of urging humanity to never surrender to the demons of fear and silence. (Ariel Dorfman\, The New York Times Book Review) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Engrossing … At once exhilarating and defiant\, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s memoir is a thought-provoking document of a grim time in Kenyan history.” (Publishers Weekly) \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Washington Post reviews Birth of a Dream Weaver\, saying “every page ripples with a contagious faith in education and in the power of literature to shape the imagination and scour the conscience.” (The Washington Post)

SUMMARY:Nona Caspers and Friends
DESCRIPTION:Join us to celebrate Nona Caspers’ latest book\, the novel\, The Fifth Woman. Publisher’s Weekly said\, “This gem of a collection is a transcendent portrayal of bereavement\, showing how death elevates the mundane and affects everything humans do\, see and think.” The San Francisco Chronicle called the book “… mesmerizing\, moving…” \nYears after Caspers’s unnamed narrator loses her first lover in a tragic accident\, she finds herself wondering\, “What did she want from me? What are the things that matter?” In vivid\, richly detailed vignettes\, the book tracks the cyclical nature of grief and remembrance across a life fractured by loss. At times dryly comical\, at other times radiantly surreal\,The Fifth Woman is a testament to the resurrecting power of memory and enduring love. \nCaspers will share the stage with two of her former graduate students from the Creative Writing program at SFSU. Author signing and book sale by Dog Eared Books Castro to follow event.
