SUMMARY:Susie Bright\, Santa Cruz Noir

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. Following in the footsteps of Los Angeles Noir\, San Francisco Noir\, San Diego Noir\, Orange County Noir\, and Oakland Noir\, this new volume further reveals the seedy underbelly of the left coast. \nFeaturing brand-new stories by: Tommy Moore\, Jessica Breheny\, Naomi Hirahara\, Calvin McMillin\, Liza Monroy\, Elizabeth McKenzie\, Jill Wolfson\, Ariel Gore\, Jon Bailiff\, Maceo Montoya\, Micah Perks\, Seana Graham\, Vinnie Hansen\, Peggy Townsend\, Margaret Elysia Garcia\, Lou Mathews\, Lee Quarnstrom\, Dillon Kaiser\, Beth Lisick\, and Wallace Baine. \nFrom the introduction by Susie Bright: \nEvery town has its noir-ville. 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. Chairs for open seating are usually set up an hour before the event begins. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSanta Cruz Noir (Akashic Noir) (Paperback)\n\nBy Susie Bright (Editor)\n$15.95\nISBN: 9781617756221\nAvailability: Coming Soon – Available for Pre-Order Now\nPublished: Akashic Books – June 5th\, 2018\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSanta Cruz Noir—GET IT SIGNED!\n\n$15.95\nSKU: S9781617756221\n\n\n\n\n\n\nName (optional)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you cannot attend this event\, you can still have a copy of Santa Cruz Noir signed at the event.

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
