SUMMARY:Walter Mosley
DESCRIPTION:reading from his new novel \nJohn Woman \npublished by Atlantic Monthly Press \nWalter Mosely requires no introduction. His award-winning\, critically-adored body of work has sold millions of copies the world over. Though he is perhaps best known for his mysteries featuring the character Easy Rawlins\, over the course of his long and prolific career\, he has also written a handful of penetrating literary novels that wrestle with questions political and philosophical. His latest book is such a novel: the result of nearly 20 years of incubation\, it is a dazzling and convention-defying novel of ideas about the sexual and intellectual coming-of-age of an unusual man who goes by the name Woman. \nJOHN WOMAN recounts the transformation of an unassuming boy named Cornelius Jones into John Woman\, an unconventional history professor—while the legacy of a hideous crime lurks in the shadows. \nAt twelve years old\, Cornelius\, the son of an Italian-American woman and an older black man from Mississippi named Herman\, secretly takes over his father’s job at a silent film theater in New York’s East Village. Five years later\, as Herman lives out his last days\, he shares his wisdom with his son\, explaining that the person who controls the narrative of history controls their own fate. After his father dies and his mother disappears\, Cornelius sets about reinventing himself—as Professor John Woman\, a man who will spread Herman’s teachings into the classrooms of his unorthodox southwestern university and beyond. But there are other individuals who are attempting to influence the narrative of John Woman\, and who might know something about the facts of his hidden past. \nEngaging with some of the most provocative ideas of recent intellectual history\, JOHN WOMAN  is a compulsively readable\, deliciously unexpected novel about the way we tell stories\, and whether the stories we tell have the power to change the world. It is essential reading in an age defined by fake news and alternative facts. \nWalter Mosley is the author of more than fifty critically-acclaimed books\, including the major bestselling mystery series featuring Easy Rawlins. His work has been translated into twenty-five languages and includes literary fiction\, science fiction\, political monographs\, and a young adult novel. In 2013\, he was inducted into the New York State Writers Hall of Fame\, and he is the winner of numerous awards\, including an O. Henry Award\, the Mystery Writers of America’s Grand Master Award\, a Grammy\, and PEN America’s Lifetime Achievement Award. He lives in New York City. \nPraise for Walter Mosley \n“A writer whose work transcends category and qualifies as serious literature.”—Time\n“Mosley is one of the most humane\, insightful\, powerful prose stylists working today in any genre. He’s also one of the most radical…. Immerse yourself in the work of one of our national treasures.”\n—The Austin Chronicle \n“When reviewing a book by Walter Mosley\, it’s hard not to simply quote all the great lines. There are so many of them. You want to share the pleasures of Mosley’s jazz-inflected dialogue and the moody\, descriptive passages reminiscent of Raymond Chandler at his best.”\n—Washington Post\, on Down the River Unto the Sea \n“A daring\, beautifully wrought story that incorporates elements of allegory\, meditative reflection and the lilt of lyric tragedy. ”—Los Angeles Times\, on The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey \n“With Mosley\, there’s always the surprise factor—a cutting image or a bracing line of dialogue.”\n—New York Times Book Review\, on And Sometimes I Wonder About You \n“Mosley’s invigorating\, staccato prose and understanding of racial\, moral\nand social subtleties are in full force.”—Seattle Times\, on Known to Evil \n“[Mosley has] revitalized two genres\, the hard-boiled novel and the American behaviorist novel.”\n—Roberto Bolaño \n“Mosley is the Gogol of the African-American working class—the chronicler par excellence of the tragic and the absurd.”—Vibe \n“[Mosley] has a special talent for touching upon these sticky questions of evil and responsibility without getting stuck in them.”—New Yorker

SUMMARY:Bikes to Books five-year anniversary October ride
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate five years of Bikes to Books with our October anniversary ride! \n  \nCombining San Francisco history\, art\, literature\, cycling\, and urban exploration\, Bikes to Books began as an homage to the 1988 street-naming project spearheaded by City Lights founder and former San Francisco Poet Laureate\, Lawrence Ferlinghetti\, in which twelve San Francisco streets were renamed for famous artists and authors who had once made San Francisco their home. This anniversary ride marks the thirty-year anniversary of the naming of the original twelve streets. \nThe resulting 7.1-mile tour is a diverting and unique way to celebrate both the literary and the adventurous spirit of San Francisco. Learn about the authors and neighborhoods that made San Francisco a known literary hub\, from South Park to North Beach\, Jack London to Jack Kerouac\, all from the comfort of your own bicycle seat! For fans of specific authors\, we invite you to bring an excerpt to read along our route\, or anecdote to share. Check out the full map for route info and authors represented: https://burritojustice.com/bikes-to-books-map/ \nBring bikes with gears\, snacks\, and enthusiasm.

SUMMARY:John Freeman in conversation with Rebecca Solnit
DESCRIPTION:This event cosponsored by LITQUAKE in conjunction with City Lights and Grove Press \ncelebrating the release of \nFreeman’s Literary Journal: POWER Issue \npublished by Grove Press \nFrom the voices of protestors to the encroachment of a new fascism\, everywhere we look\, power is revealed. Spouse to spouse\, soldier to citizen\, looker to gazed upon\, power is never static: it is either demonstrated or deployed. Its hoarding is itself a demonstration. This thought-provoking issue of the acclaimed literary annual Freeman’s explores who gets to say what matters in a time of social upheaval. \nMany of the writers are women. Margaret Atwood posits it is time to update the gender of werewolf narratives. Aminatta Forna shatters the silences which supposedly ensured her safety as a woman of color walking in public spaces. Power must often be seized. The narrator of Lan Samantha Chang’s short story finally wrenches control of the family’s finances from her husband only to make a fatal mistake. Meanwhile the hero of Tahmima Anam’s story achieves freedom by selling bull semen. Australian novelist Josephine Rowe recalls a gallery attendee trying to take what was not offered when she worked as a life-drawing model. Violence often results from power imbalances— Booker Prize winner Ben Okri watches power stripped from the residents of Grenfell Tower by ferocious neglect. But not all power must wreak damage. Barry Lopez remembers fourteen glimpses of power\, from the moment he hitched a ride on a cargo plane in Korea to the glare he received from a bear traveling with her cubs in the woods\, asking—do you plan me harm? \nFeaturing work from brand new writers Nicole Im\, Jaime Cortez\, and Nimmi Gowrinathan\, as well as from some of the world’s best storytellers\, including US poet laureate Tracy K. Smith\, Franco-Moroccan writer Leïla Slimani\, and Turkish novelist Elif Shafak\, Freeman’s: Power escapes from the headlines of today and burrows into the heart of the issue. \nJohn Freeman was the editor of Granta until 2013. His books include How to Read a Novelist\, Tales of Two Cities\, Tales of Two Americas\, and Maps\, his debut collection of poems. He is executive editor at the Literary Hub and teaches at the New School and New York University. His work has appeared in the New Yorker and the Paris Review and has been translated into twenty languages. \nRebecca Solnit is a prolific writer\, and the author of many books including Hope in the Dark\, Men Explain Things To Me\, Savage Dreams\, Storming the Gates of Paradise\, and the best-selling atlases Infinite City and Unfathomable City. Her writing has appeared in Harpers\, UK Guardian\, and Tom Dispatch. She has received numerous honors for her work including the National Book Critics Circle Award\, the Sally Hacker Prize from the Society for the History of Technology\, the Harvard Mark Lynton History Prize\, the Corlis Benefideo Award for Imaginative Cartography from the North American Cartographic Information Society\, and numerous fellowships. \nLitquake is the largest independent literary festival on the West Coast\, Litquake continues its mission as a ten-day literary spectacle for booklovers\, complete with cutting-edge panel discussions\, unique cross-media events\, and hundreds of readings. Whether it’s poets reciting in a cathedral\, authors discussing science versus religion in a library\, or novelists reading in a beekeeping supply store\, the goal remains the same: whet a broad range of literary appetites\, present the literary fare in a variety of traditional and unlikely venues\, and make it vivid\, real\, and entertaining. To learn more visit: http://www.litquake.org/ \nPraise for Freeman’s: \n“There’s an illustrious new literary journal in town . . . [with] fiction\, nonfiction\, and poetry by new voices and literary heavyweights . . . alike.”—Vogue.com \n“A terrific anthology . . . Sure to become a classic in years to come.”—San Francisco Chronicle \n“Ambitious.”—O Magazine \n“Freeman draws from a global cache of talent . . . An expansive reading experience.”—Kirkus Reviews \n“Looking at what John [Freeman] has put together in this first edition\, I’m struck by how many names I don’t know and how diverse and global it is. My only disappointment is that it’s going to be twice a year—I think we need it 4 times a year.”—James Wood\, Radio Boston \n“Illuminating . . . Perfect reading for our ever-accelerating times.”—NPR’s Book Concierge \n“Freeman’s is fresh\, provocative\, engrossing.”—BBC.com \n“A first-rate anthology of bold\, searching and personal writing by emerging and established writers.”—Minneapolis Star-Tribune \n“Freeman’s sets a new standard for literary journals . . . It’s refreshing and full of nuanced stories that will linger with you long after you finish them.”—Chicago Literati \n“[An] infinitely relatable and beautifully crafted prose and poetry anthology . . . Freeman has assembled a thoughtful and profoundly accessible collection of work that connects our vulnerabilities\, our expectations and our hopes.”—Newcity Lit \n“[A] thrillingly unique collection of voices.”—Toronto Star

SUMMARY:BINDERY: Erin Gibson / Feminasty: The Complicated Woman’s Guide to Surviving the Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself to Death
DESCRIPTION:The Bindery hosts a special evening with Erin Gibson for her debut book of essays Feminasty: The Complicated Woman’s Guide to Surviving the Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself to Death. Please join us! \n  \nErin Gibson has a singular goal – to create a utopian future where women are recognized as humans. In FEMINASTY—titled after her nickname on the hit podcast “Throwing Shade”—she has written a collection of make-you-laugh-until-you-cry essays that expose the hidden rules that make life as a woman unnecessarily hard and deconstructs them in a way that’s bold\, provocative and hilarious. Whether it’s about shaming women for having their periods\, allowing them into STEM fields but never treating them like they truly belong\, or dictating strict rules for how they should dress in every situation\, Erin breaks down the organized chaos of old fashioned sexism\, intentional and otherwise\, that systemically keeps women down. \n  \nFeminasty is Erin Gibson’s revolutionary handbook for dismantling the patriarchy\, one pay gap joke at a time \n  \n\n  \nEmmy-nominated Southern loudmouth Erin Gibson is an expert at mixing social commentary\, political satire\, and vagina jokes into neat little comedy packages. Based in Los Angeles\, she’s one half of the Throwing Shade empire\, which includes an award winning political absurdist comedy podcast\, international live touring show\, the Funny or Die web series and a TV Land late night show. She developed her social commentary chops as the host of “Modern Lady” and sharpened them writing and directing political sketches for Funny or Die\, where you’ve seen her impersonate terrible women like Michele Bachmann\, Megyn Kelly\, Michelle Duggar and Ivanka Trump. She also created the long running Emmy-nominated “Gay of Thrones” starring her real-life hair stylist\, Jonathan Van Ness. Feminasty is her debut book of comedic essays. \n  \n\n  \nPlease note: This event will be at The Bindery\, 1727 Haight. \n  \nThis is an all ages event. The bar opens at 7\, event begins at 7:30pm. \n  \nRSVP appreciated but not required. \n  \nIf you cannot attend the event but would like to requeset a signed copy of Feminasty\, order below and put your request in the comments field.

SUMMARY:John Kaag discusses his new book\, Hiking With Nietzsche: On Becoming Who You Are
DESCRIPTION:John Kaag discusses his new book\, Hiking With Nietzsche: On Becoming Who You Are. \n\nPraise For Hiking With Nietzsche \n\n“Meditative . . . thought provoking . . . Kaag has crafted a stirring account of a personal encounter with a great mind.” –Publishers Weekly \n  \n“Kaag succeeds . . . through his courage to approach Nietzsche\, and philosophy in general\, from a personal―and not just intellectual―perspective . . . .A meditative work full of self-understanding that will resonate with anyone who has ever been drawn toward the void.” –Kirkus \n\nAbout Hiking With Nietzsche \n\nA revelatory Alpine journey in the spirit of the great Romantic thinker Friedrich Nietzsche \n  \nHiking with Nietzsche: Becoming Who You Are is a tale of two philosophical journeys―one made by John Kaag as an introspective young man of nineteen\, the other seventeen years later\, in radically different circumstances: he is now a husband and father\, and his wife and small child are in tow. Kaag sets off for the Swiss peaks above Sils Maria where Nietzsche wrote his landmark work Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Both of Kaag’s journeys are made in search of the wisdom at the core of Nietzsche’s philosophy\, yet they deliver him to radically different interpretations and\, more crucially\, revelations about the human condition. \n  \nJust as Kaag’s acclaimed debut\, American Philosophy: A Love Story\, seamlessly wove together his philosophical discoveries with his search for meaning\, Hiking with Nietzsche is a fascinating exploration not only of Nietzsche’s ideals but of how his experience of living relates to us as individuals in the twenty-first century. Bold\, intimate\, and rich with insight\, Hiking with Nietzsche is about defeating complacency\, balancing sanity and madness\, and coming to grips with the unobtainable. As Kaag hikes\, alone or with his family\, but always with Nietzsche\, he recognizes that even slipping can be instructive. It is in the process of climbing\, and through the inevitable missteps\, that one has the chance\, in Nietzsche’s words\, to “become who you are.” \n

SUMMARY:H. Bruce Franklin discusses his new book Crash Course: From the Good War to the Forever War
DESCRIPTION:H. Bruce Franklin discusses his new book Crash Course: From the Good War to the Forever War. \n\nAbout Crash Course \n\nGrowing up during the Second World War\, H. Bruce Franklin believed what he was told: that America’s victory would lead to a new era of world peace. Like most Americans\, he was soon led to believe in a world-wide Communist conspiracy that menaced the United States\, forcing the nation into a disastrous war in Korea. But once he joined the U.S. Air Force and began flying top-secret missions as a navigator and intelligence officer\, what he learned was eye-opening. He saw that even as the U.S. preached about peace and freedom\, it was engaging in an endless cycle of warfare\, bringing devastation and oppression to fledgling democracies across the globe. \nNow\, after fifty years as a renowned cultural historian\, Franklin offers a set of hard-learned lessons about modern American history. Crash Course is essential reading for anyone who wonders how America ended up where it is today: with a deeply divided and disillusioned populace\, led by a dysfunctional government\, and mired in unwinnable wars. It also finds startling parallels between America’s foreign military exploits and the equally brutal tactics used on the home front to crush organized labor\, antiwar\, and civil rights movements. \nMore than just a memoir or a history book\, Crash Course gives readers a unique firsthand look at the building of the American empire and the damage it has wrought. Shocking and gripping as any thriller\, it exposes a decades-long deception of the American public and commemorates the few brave souls who fought for truth and justice.

SUMMARY:Damion Searls discusses his translation of Anniversaries: From a Year in the Life of Gesine Cresspahl\, by Uwe Johnson. Sponsored by The Center for the Art of Translation
DESCRIPTION:Damion Searls discusses his translation of Anniversaries: From a Year in the Life of Gesine Cresspahl\, by Uwe Johnson. Sponsored by The Center for the Art of Translation. \n\nAbout Anniversaries \n\nA landmark of 20th Century literature about New York in the late 1960s\, now in English for the first time. \nLate in 1967\, Uwe Johnson\, already one of the most celebrated German novelists of his generation\, set out to write a book that would take the form of an entry for every day of the year that lay ahead.  The  first entry is August 21\, 1967\, and every subsequent entry is dated the following day\, through August 20\, 1968. Of course\, Johnson had no idea what the year would bring—that was part of the challenge—but he did have his main character: Gesine Cresspahl\, a German émigré living on the Upper West Side of New York City and working as a translator for a bank\, who is the single mother of a ten-year-old daughter\, Marie. \nThe book tells the story of a year in the life of this little family in relation to the unfolding stories of the year\, as winnowed from the pages of The New York Times\, of which Gesine is a devoted if wary reader. These stories in turn are overlayed by another: Gesine\, born just as Hitler was coming to power\, has decided to tell Marie the story of her grandparents’ lives and of her own rural childhood in Nazi Germany. \nAnniversaries courts comparison to Joyce’s Ulysses\, the book of a day\, and to Proust’s In Search of Lost Time\, the book of a lifetime\, but it stands apart in its dense polyphonic interplay of voices and stories. It is a novel of private life\, a political novel\, and a new kind of historical novel\, reckoning not only with past history but with history in the making.

King\nKathryn Kruse\nPloi Pirapokin \nABOUT HAZEL READING SERIES:\nHazel Reading Series is a San Francisco-based monthly reading series and an ever-evolving community. Each month\, emerging and established women writers share their work and go on to choose next month’s readers. Hazel is a place for experimentation\, for support and community\, for writers and literature lovers of all kinds to bump into new work and new ideas. Hazel Reading Series is also invested in creating a space that represents and celebrates the diverse ethnicity\, sexuality\, ability\, age\, and form of the Bay Area’s artists. \nABOUT THE ESCAPERY:\nThe Escapery is your Writing and Other Arts Unschool. We use themed classes\, field trips\, day-long intensives\, craft intensives\, five/ten week adventures\, and more to create spaces for artists to play\, learn\, find community\, create\, and share. Playful\, community-oriented\, queer\, re-centering women/NB\, queer/trans artists\, and artists of color. No famous white men\, no tear-down workshops\, zero-tolerance for micro or macro aggressions. We are always all/no levels\, always genre-queer\, anti-competition and pro-tearing down the walls. SF/Oakland originated\, extending our kraken tentacles all over the map and in your virtual spaces. \nABOUT THE READERS:\nNancy Au is co-founder of The Escapery.

SUMMARY:Book Arts Showcase | APAture 2018 - RE:place
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy your Sunday afternoon with us at our Book Arts Showcase for APAture 2018 at SFPL! Featuring Jess Wu-O. Showcase artists: TBA. \n*Supporter level and Festival Passes (with reserved seats) can be acquired by donating to our Indiegogo campaign! \nWe’ve asked artists to explore ‘place\,’ including but not limited to: displacement\, reclaiming space\, relationship or orientation to place\, movement and migration\, the loss or lack of place\, or the various dimensions of place (spatial-emotional\, past-present\, individual-communal\, etc.). How does ‘place’ resonate with you? \nAPAture is Kearny Street Workshop’s annual multidisciplinary arts festival celebrating emerging Asian and Pacific American (APA) artists of the San Francisco Bay Area. For 16 years\, APAture has been a site of dialogue\, collaboration\, and political action between artists and community members around contemporary issues affecting the Asian and Pacific Islander community. \nAPAture 2018: RE:place will showcase over 60 artists in book arts\, film\, literary arts\, music\, performing arts\, and visual arts\, and will present their work to approximately 1\,000 festival-goers across multiple dates and venues in the South of Market neighborhood. \nCome join us and help us celebrate our local emerging APA artists for the 17th year! You don’t want to miss this! \nFree \nPresented by Kearny Street Workshop.

SUMMARY:BOOKSMITH: Phoebe Robinson presents Everything is Trash\, But It's Okay at Public Works SF
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith presents a special evening with Phoebe Robinsonfor her new book\, Everything is Trash\, But It’s Okay. Please join us at Public Works! \nPlease note: this event is 21+\, and all tickets include a copy of Everything is Trash\, But It’s Okay. 1 ticket = 1 book. No exceptions. \n\nTickets can be purchased here. \nPhoebe Robinson is a stand-up comedian\, writer\, and actress who is best known as the co-creator and co-star of the hit WNYC Studios podcast 2 Dope Queens\, which was turned into four one-hour\, critically-acclaimed HBO specials. This event will be a stand-up style exploration of her second book\, Everything is Trash\, But It’s Okay. \nWouldnt it be great if life came with an instruction manual? Of course\, but like access to Michael B. Jordan’s house\, none of us are getting any. Thankfully\, Phoebe Robinson is ready to share everything she’s experienced in hopes that if you can laugh at her topsy-turvy life\, you can laugh at your own. \nWritten in her trademark unfiltered and singularly witty style\, Robinson’s latest essay collection\, Everything is Trash\, But It’s Okay\, is a call to arms. She tackles a wide range of topics\, such as giving feminism a tough love talk in hopes it can become more intersectional; telling society’s beauty standards to kick rocks; and how being a workaholic with a #NoDaysOff mentality is cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs! \nRobinson also gets personal\, exploring debt she has hidden from her parents\, how dating is mainly a warmed-over bowl of hot mess\, and maybe most importantly\, meeting Bono not once\, but twice. She’s struggled with being a woman with a political mind and a woman with an ever-changing jean size. She knows about trash not only because she sees it every day\, but also because she’s seen about one hundred thousand hours of reality TV and zero hours of Schindler’s List.  Everything is Trash\, But It’s Okay is a candid perspective for a generation that has had the rug pulled out from under it too many times to count\, as well as an intimate conversation with a new best friend. \nRobinson is the New York Times best-selling author of You Can’t Touch My Hair and Other Things I Still Have to Explain. Robinson has gone on to be a staff writer for the final season of Portlandia\, act in TBS’s Search Party\, host another critically-acclaimed podcast for WNYC Studios entitled Sooo Many White Guys\, and made her film debut in the Netflix summer comedy Ibiza. Her sophomore book\, Everything is Trash\, But It’s Okay\, will be published by Dutton on October 16\, 2018. \n  \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! \n  \nPlease note: Phoebe is happy to sign books and meet everyone after the show. Candid photos from the line will be allowed\, but due to time constraints Phoebe will not be able to take posed shots or selfies.
