SUMMARY:Michael Chabon and Ayelet Waldman in Conversation
DESCRIPTION:A fundraiser for Pegasus Books\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nIt’s a tough time for local bookstores\, what with the social distancing and the sheltering in place. So we’re raising funds to help local Bay Area bookstores stay in business. First up: Ayelet Waldman and Michael Chabon in conversation\, including a Q&A. \nAyelet Waldman is the author of the novels Love and Treasure\, Red Hook Road\, and Love and Other Impossible Pursuits. Plus the memoir A Really Good Day: How Microdosing Made a Mega Difference in My Mood\, My Marriage\, and My Life. \nMichael Chabon is the author of several novels\, including Moonglow\, Telegraph Ave.\, the Yiddish Policemen’s Union\, Wonder Boys and The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. \nBoth Chabon and Waldman wrote for the recent TV series\, Star Trek: Picard. \nThe beneficiary \nPegasus Books has been delivering books and dreams to the Berkeley area since 1969\, and they’re a vital part of our book-loving community. They have an amazing selection of new and used books and a warm\, friendly atmosphere\, complete with adorable cats. They give dog treats to dogs\, and stickers to kids\, and they have some of the most fun events in the city\, and we’d be lost without them. \nEvery penny you spend on tickets to this event goes directly to Pegasus Books. \nHow does it work? \nWe use the conferencing system Zoom. After you sign up you’ll get an email with the Zoom access code. (Check that Eventbrite is using your current email address.) You don’t have to join with video\, but it’s nice to see faces.

SUMMARY:Mari Coates with Peg Alford Pursell / Launch for The Pelton Papers
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts the launch party for Mari Coates and her new novel The Pelton Papers. She’ll be in conversation with Peg Alford Pursell (A Girl Goes into the Forest). \nPLEASE NOTE: Due to public health concerns around the coronavirus\, this will be a virtual event live-streamed on our Facebook page. Please join us! \nFriends\, neighbors: We are pleased to be able to bring you some of our events virtually while our doors are otherwise closed in the interest of public health. You can still support us in the usual ways: you can make donations; you can buy the book and we’ll deliver it directly to your door; and did you know we keep our gift certificates on file and they never expire? Thank you very much for your support – we’re proud to be a legacy business and a mainstay of the Haight-Ashbury since 1976! \n\nA richly imagined novel based on the life of artist Agnes Pelton\, whose life tracks the early days of modernism in America. Born into a family ruined by scandal\, Agnes becomes part of the lively New York art scene\, finding early success in the famous Armory Show of 1913. Fame seems inevitable\, but Agnes is burdened by shyness and instead retreats to a contemplative life\, first to a Long Island windmill\, and then to the California desert. Undefeated by her history—family ruination in the Beecher-Tilton scandal\, a shrouded Brooklyn childhood\, and a passionate attachment to another woman—she follows her muse to create more than a hundred luminous and deeply spiritual abstract paintings. \n\nMari Coates lives in San Francisco\, where\, before joining University of California Press as a senior editor\, she was an arts writer and theater critic. Her regular column appeared in the SF Weekly with additional profiles and features appearing in the San Francisco Chronicle\, East Bay Monthly\, Advocate\, and other news outlets. Her stories have been published in the literary journals HLLQ and Eclipse\, and she is grateful for residencies at I-Park\, Ragdale\, and Hypatia-in-the-Woods\, which allowed her to develop and complete The Pelton Papers. She holds degrees from Connecticut College and the Warren Wilson MFA Program for Writers. Find her online at maricoates.com. Author photo by Lynn Shepodd. \n \nPeg Alford Pursell is the author of A Girl Goes into the Forest and of Show Her a Flower\, A Bird\, A Shadow\, the 2017 Indies Book of the Year for Literary Fiction. Her work has appeared in Permafrost\, the Los Angeles Review\, Joyland Magazine\, and other journals and anthologies. She is the founder and director of the national reading series Why There Are Words and of WTAW Press. \n\nThis is a free\, all-ages event. \nRSVP appreciated but not required.
