SUMMARY:Laurie R. King\, Island of the Mad
DESCRIPTION:Laurie R. King\, Island of the Mad\nTuesday\, June 12\, 2018 – 7:00pm \nBookshop Santa Cruz welcomes beloved and best-selling author Laurie R. King back to the store for a reading and signing of her new novel of suspense featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes\, Island of the Mad. \nMary Russell and Sherlock Holmes untangle the slippery threads of insanity and deadly secrets as they investigate a disappearance in the New York Times bestselling series that Lee Child called “the most sustained feat of imagination in mystery fiction today.” \nA June summer’s evening\, on the Sussex Downs\, in 1925. Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes are strolling across their orchard when the telephone rings: an old friend’s beloved aunt has failed to return following a supervised outing from Bedlam.

The last thing she wants is to deal with the mad\, and yet\, she can’t say no. \nThe Lady Vivian Beaconsfield has spent most of her adult life in one asylum after another\, yet she seemed to be improving–or at least\, finding a point of balance in her madness. So why did she disappear? Did she take the family’s jewels with her\, or did someone else? The Bedlam nurse\, perhaps? \nThe trail leads Russell and Holmes through a lunatic asylum’s stony halls to the warm Venice lagoon\, where ethereal beauty is jarred by Mussolini’s Blackshirts\, where the gilded Lido set may be tempting a madwoman\, and where Cole Porter sits at a piano\, playing with ideas…\nLAURIE R. KING is the award-winning\, bestselling author of fourteen Mary Russell mysteries\, five contemporary novels featuring Kate Martinelli\, and many acclaimed stand-alone novels such as Folly\, Touchstone\, The Bones of Paris\, and Lockdown.

SUMMARY:This is Now with Angie Coiro presents: Ken Jennings on humor and the media
DESCRIPTION:Ken Jennings grew up in Seoul\, South Korea\, where he became a daily devotee of the quiz show Jeopardy! In 2004\, he successfully auditioned for a spot on the show and went on an unprecedented seventy-four game victory streak worth $2.52 million. Jennings’s book Brainiac\, about his Jeopardy! adventures\, was a critically acclaimed New York Times bestseller\, as were his follow-up books Maphead and Because I Said So! He is also the author of Planet Funny. Jennings lives in Seattle with his wife Mindy and two children. \nFrom John Stewart to Donald Trump\, Chaucer to Sumerian Tablets\, fart jokes to Cable TV “zingers\,” Ken Jennings lends his signature wit and whizzing\, encyclopedic perspective to the history of humor and how it came to dominate our modern world. Today\, an unprecedented number of people get their news from comedy shows. Newspapers race to find the catchiest headline with an avidity that forgets the need to inform. In our democracy\, showmanship has replaced good-nature debate. Jennings looks at the foundations of these current manifestations and what this says for where we might be headed.

SUMMARY:This is Now with Angie Coiro presents: Ken Auletta on media and advertising
DESCRIPTION:We’re saturated in advertising. Online\, on billboards\, flashing on sidewalks – iSpace in Japan plans to project ads on the moon by 2020. \nBut advertising is no longer a robust industry. Consumer distrust and ad-killing technology have frayed it into hostile camps with uncertain futures. Still: if you’re not in the business\, why should you care? \nBecause\, Ken Auletta says: no advertising means no media. \nAuletta adds to his long career as a savvy observer of American business and communication with Frenemies: The Epic Destruction of the Advertising Industry (And Why This Matters). Auletta is uniquely positioned to probe this latest turn in a key industry. He’s penned the “Annals of Communications” column for The New Yorker since 1992; he’s profiled the greatest influencers of media both traditional and digital\, including Bill Gates\, Rupert Murdoch\, and Ted Turner. \nKen Auletta joins KLF’s journalist in residence Angie Coiro for her This Is Now series\, for an evening of wide-ranging conversation about media\, advertising\, and its role in the life of us all.

SUMMARY:Fiction Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:Autumn by Ali Smith\nAutumn. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness. Two old friends–Daniel\, a centenarian\, and Elisabeth\, born in 1984–look to both the future and the past as the United Kingdom stands divided by a historic\, once-in-a-generation summer. Love is won\, love is lost. Hope is hand-in-hand with hopelessness. The seasons roll round\, as ever. \n  \nA luminous meditation on the meaning of richness and harvest and worth\, Autumn is the first installment of Ali Smith’s Seasonal quartet\, and it casts an eye over our own time: Who are we? What are we made of? Shakespearean jeu d’esprit\, Keatsian melancholy\, the sheer bright energy of 1960s pop art. Wide-ranging in time-scale and light-footed through histories\, Autumn is an unforgettable story about aging and time and love–and stories themselves.

Bright will be joined by contributing authors to the anthology at this free event. \nAkashic Books continues its award-winning series of original noir anthologies\, launched in 2004 with Brooklyn Noir. Each book comprises all new stories\, each one set in a distinct location within the geographic area of the book.

It’s easy to find in Santa Cruz. We live in what’s called “paradise\,” where you can wake up in a pool of blood with the first pink rays of the sunrise peeking out over our mountain range. The dewy mist lifts from the bay. Don’t hate us because we’re beautiful–we were made that way\, like Venus rising off the foam with a brick in her hand. We can’t help it if you fall for it every time… \n“If I lived in a place like this\,” visitors often say\, “I’d wake up with a smile every day.” \nOh\, we do\, thank you for that. There’s no beauty like a merciless beauty–and like every crepuscular predator\, it thrives at dawn and dusk. You’re just the innocent we’ve been waiting for\, with your big paper cone of sugar-shark cotton\, whipped out of pure nothing. We have just the ride for you\, the longest tunnel ever. Santa Cruz is everything you ever dreamed\, and everything you ever screamed\, in one long drop you’ll never forget. \nEditor Susie Bright is a best-selling author and editor who landed in Santa Cruz in 1979. Her previous short story collections include The Best American Erotica\, Herotica\, Bitten\, and X. She is the host of the podcast In Bed with Susie Bright\, author of the memoir Big Sex Little Death\, and cowrote and choreographed the noir film Bound. \n  \nThis free event will take place in Bookshop Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Katharine Dion
DESCRIPTION:Launch celebration for her debut novel\, The Dependents\, a wise and lyrical debut novel about a new widower confronting the truth about his long marriage. \n“A marvel of a novel. With great subtlety and tact\, it evokes the love\, devotion\, and sadness that bind a grieving father to his troubled daughter. Its cumulative power comes from the depth of Dion’s entry into her characters and the vividness of her prose that brings them to life. The Dependents is one of the best debut novels I’ve read in years\, and a very auspicious one.”–Adam Haslett \n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, June 19\, 2018 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter the sudden death of his wife\, Maida\, Gene is haunted by the fear that their marriage was not all it appeared to be. Alongside Ed and Gayle Donnelly\, friends since college days\, he tries to resurrect happy memories of the times the two couples shared\, raising their children in a small New Hampshire town and vacationing together at a lake house every summer. Meanwhile\, his daughter\, Dary\, challenges not only his happy version of the past but also his view of Maida. As a long-standing rift between them deepens\, Gene starts to understand how unknown his daughter is to him–and how enigmatic his wife was as well. And a lingering suspicion seizes his mind that could upend everything he thought he knew. \nKatharine Dion’s assured debut moves seamlessly between Gene’s present-day journey and the long history of a marriage and friendship. Rich and wonderfully alive\, The Dependents is the most moving kind of drama\, an intimate glance into the expanse of family life and the way we must all eventually bridge the chasm between what we want to believe and what we know to be true. \nKatharine Dion is a graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, where she was awarded the Iowa Arts Fellowship. She has also been a MacDowell Fellow and the recipient of a grant from the Elizabeth George Foundation. She lives in Berkeley. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Dependents (Hardcover)\n\nBy Katharine Dion\n$26.00\nISBN: 9780316473873\nAvailability: Coming Soon – Available for Pre-Order Now\nPublished: Little Brown and Company – June 19th\, 2018

SUMMARY:Joel Selvin\, Fare Thee Well
DESCRIPTION:Joel Selvin\, Fare Thee Well\nThursday\, June 21\, 2018 – 7:00pm \nBookshop Santa Cruz welcomes music journalist and bestselling author Joel Selvin for a discussion and signing of his new book\, Fare Thee Well: The Final Chapter of The Grateful Dead’s Long\, Strange Trip. \nFARE THEE WELL is a tell-all biography of the epic in-fighting of the Grateful Dead in the years following band leader Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. The Grateful Dead rose to greatness under the inspired leadership of guitarist Jerry Garcia\, but the band very nearly died along with him. When Garcia passed away suddenly in August of 1995\, the remaining band members experienced full crises of confidence and identity. So long defined by Garcia’s vision for the group\, the surviving “Core Four\,” as they came to be called\, were reduced to conflicting agendas\, strained relationships\, and catastrophic business decisions that would leave the iconic band in shambles. Wrestling with how best to define their living legacy\, the band made many attempts at restructuring\, but it would take twenty years before relationships were mended enough for the Grateful Dead as fans remembered them to once again take the stage. \nAcclaimed music journalist and New York Times bestselling author Joel Selvin was there for much of the turmoil following Garcia’s death\, and he’ll offer a behind-the-scenes account of the ebbs and flows that occurred during the ensuing two decades. Plenty of books have been written about the rise of the Grateful Dead\, but this final chapter of the band’s history has never before been explored in detail. Culminating in the landmark tour bearing the same name\, Fare Thee Well charts the arduous journey from Garcia’s passing all the way up to the uneasy agreement between the Core Four that led to the series of shows celebrating the band’s fiftieth anniversary and finally allowing for a proper\, and joyous\, sendoff of the group revered by so many. \nJOEL SELVIN is an award-winning journalist who has covered pop music for the San Francisco Chronicle since 1970. Selvin is the author of the bestselling Summer of Love and coauthor\, with Sammy Hagar\, of the #1 New York Times bestseller Red. He has written twelve other books about pop music. Selvin lives in San Francisco\, California. \n  \nThis event will be free at Bookshop Santa Cruz with open seating. Chairs for open seating are usually set up an hour before the event begins.  \nFare Thee Well: The Final Chapter of the Grateful Dead’s Long\, Strange Trip (Hardcover)\nBy Joel Selvin\, Pamela Turley (With) \n$27.00 \nISBN: 9780306903052 \nAvailability: Coming Soon – Available for Pre-Order Now \nPublished: Da Capo Press – June 19th\, 2018 \nFare Thee Well–GET IT SIGNED!\n$27.00 \nSKU: S780306903052 \nName (optional) \nIf you cannot attend the event\, you can still have a copy of Fare Thee Well signed for you at the event.

SUMMARY:Michael Isikoff & David Corn\, Russian Roulette
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes Michael Isikoff and David Corn—”Two of the best and most accomplished investigative reporters of their generation…[A] superpower reporting team” (Rachel Maddow)—for a discussion and signing of their #1 New York Timesbestseller Russian Roulette. \n  \nTWO OF AMERICA’S TOP REPORTERS AND THE EXPLOSIVE UNTOLD STORY OF THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY \nThe incredible\, harrowing account of how American democracy was hacked by Moscow as part of a covert operation to influence the U.S. election and help Donald Trump gain the presidency. \nRUSSIAN ROULETTE covers the bizarre events and relationships\, explains the stakes\, and reveals how a foreign government nefariously infiltrated the country’s political process and helped alter the future of America. \n\nWhat were Trump’s business deals in Russia—and how did they really come about?\nWhat was the huge business deal Trump signed with a Putin-connected oligarch and what happened to it?\nWho was the secret Russian government source who alerted U.S. officials that Putin planned to mount an extensive covert operation to undermine American democracy—and why didn’t the Obama administration act on this tip-off?\nWhy did Vladimir Putin hold a grudge against Hillary Clinton— and how did that influence his decision to order a cyber-attack on the U.S. election?\nWhat role did Russian social media trolls play in the 2016 election—and how did they secretly influence the highest levels of the Trump campaign?\nHow did Obama and his aides react to the intelligence showing Putin hacked the 2016 campaign? What did they fear the most? And why didn’t Obama respond more forcefully?\nWhat was the secret plan that White House officials prepared to strike back against Putin and why did a senior Obama aide order it shelved?\nWhy were Hillary Clinton campaign officials so worried about the FBI that they wouldn’t meet with FBI agents to discuss Russian cyber-attacks against her campaign?\nWhy did it take nine months for the Democratic National Committee to do something about Moscow’s penetration of its computer system?\n\n  \nRUSSIAN ROULETTE is a story of political skullduggery un­precedented in American history. It weaves together tales of international intrigue\, cyber espionage\, and superpower rivalry. After U.S.-Russia relations soured\, as Vladimir Putin moved to reassert Russian strength on the global stage\, Moscow trained its best hackers on U.S. political targets and exploited WikiLeaks to disseminate information that could affect the 2016 campaign. The Russians were wildly successful\, and the great break-in of 2016 was no “third rate burglary.” It was far more sophisticated and sinister—a brazen act of political espionage designed to interfere with the election. At the end of the day\, Trump\, the candidate who pursued business deals with Russia\, won. And millions of Americans were left wondering what the hell happened? \nThis gripping and behind-the-scenes story of high-tech spying and political crisis takes the reader inside the White House\, the Kremlin\, the U.S. intelligence community\, the Trump and Clinton campaigns\, and both political parties. It chronicles the strange relationship between Trump and Putin and the ties between Trump’s inner circle—including Paul Manafort\, Donald Trump Jr.\, Michael Flynn\, and Jared Kushner—and the Russians. \n  \nThis free event will take place at Bookshop Santa Cruz with open seating. Chairs for open seating are usually set up an hour before the event begins.
