SUMMARY:Conversations with Authors - Anthony Lee Head with Peter Coyote (Virtual Event)
DESCRIPTION:Anthony Lee Head’s debut collection\, Driftwood: Stories from the Margarita Road\, tells the story of modern-day runaways escaping the rat race and heading to a tropical paradise in search of a fresh start—a timely  antidote for anyone who has grown weary of quarantines and sheltering in place. \nAnthony knows firsthand the challenges of the expat lifestyle. In a fit of middle-aged madness\, he gave up an established career as a trial lawyer in San Francisco to travel 3500 miles to tropical Mexico\, where for a decade he and his wife ran a small hotel and a margarita bar near the Caribbean Sea. That adventure became the inspiration for this book. Anthony now lives in San Rafael\, California with his wife and an embarrassingly large number of Mexican rescue dogs and cats. He is currently working on both a memoir and a new novel. \nPeter Coyote is the author of the 1960’s counter-culture memoir Sleeping Where I Fall\, which received universally excellent reviews and has been in continuous print since 1999. His second book about mentors and the search for wisdom\, The Rainman’s Third Cure: An Irregular Education\, was nominated as one of the top five non-fiction books published in California in 2015. His third book\, Unmasking Your True Self (the Lone Ranger and Tonto Meet the Buddha) combines 50 years of Buddhist practice with acting and uses masks and improv exercises to foster liberation experiences and teach people “how to get out of their own way.” It is forthcoming from Inner Traditions Press\, as his first book of poems\, The Tongue of a Crow. \nPeter has performed as an actor in over 160 films for theaters and TV. He is a double Emmy-Award winning narrator of over 150 documentary films. An ordained Zen Buddhist priest and transmitted teacher\, Peter is currently giving live weekly dharma talks on Facebook\, preparing for a fourth book called Vernacular Buddhism.

SUMMARY:Online Evening Literary Seminar: Let's Pretend This Never Happened\, Jenny Lawson
DESCRIPTION:Jenny Lawson’s ridiculously eccentric childhood in Texas—combined with a hefty dose of anxiety\, depression and serious intelligence—makes for a hilariously dark memoir that will bring the comic relief we might all need in November. Let’s Pretend This Never Happened feels like a Mary Karr-David Sedaris-Amy Poehler mash-up\, a look at how to cope when things are just plain absurd. It would be a crime during this Covid fall NOT to turn to Lawson for commiseration\, solace and some much-needed laughs. \nJoin Kimberly to delve deeper into a novel that has been described as “transformed by intragenerational retelling rather than passed down\,” one made up of “quick and dirty mythmaking\,” a book we should all be reading now.

SUMMARY:Maw Shein Win with Nathalie Khankan and Marcelo Hernandez Castillo
DESCRIPTION:City Lights in conjunction with Omnidawn Books present \nMaw Shein Win with Nathalie Khankan and Marcelo Hernandez Castillo \n \nreading from new poetry \nStorage Unit for the Spirit House – by Maw Shein Win \nand \nQuiet Orient Riot – by Nathalie Khankan \n   \n——- \nThis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Zoom platform. You will need access to a computer or other device that is capable of accessing the internet. If you have not used Zoom before\, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Zoom. \n———- \nEvent is free\, but registration is required. \n(Click Here) to register. \n———– \n(Click Here) to purchase books \n———– \nabout Storage Unit for the Spirit House \nWith sharp focus and startling language\, the poems in Maw Shein Win’s second book\, Storage Unit for the Spirit House\, look through physical objects to glimpse the ephemeral\, the material\, and the immaterial. Vinyl records\, felt wolverines\, a belt used to punish children\, pain pills\, and “show dogs with bejeweled collars” crowd into Win’s real and imagined storage units. Nats\, Buddhist animist deities from her family’s homeland of Burma\, haunt the book’s six sections. The nats\, spirits believed to have the power to influence everyday lives\, inhabit the storage units and hover around objects while forgotten children sleep under Mylar blankets and daughters try to see through the haze of a father’s cigarette smoke. \nAssemblages of both earthly and noncorporeal possessions throughout the collection become resonant and alive\, and Win must summon “a circle of drums and copper bells” to appease the nats who have moved into a long-ago family house.

SUMMARY:Maw Shein Win and Nathalie Khankan with Su Hwang and Marcelo Hernandez Castillo
DESCRIPTION:Maw Shein Win and Nathalie Khankan celebrating new Omnidawn Books with Su Hwang and Marcelo Hernandez Castillo \n       \nreading from new poetry \nCity Lights celebrates the book launch of \nStorage Unit for the Spirit House – by Maw Shein Win \n \nand \nQuiet Orient Riot – by Nathalie Khankan \n \n——- \nThis is a virtual event that will be hosted by City Lights on the Zoom platform. You will need access to a computer or other device that is capable of accessing the internet. If you have not used Zoom before\, you may consider referencing Getting Started with Zoom. \n———- \nEvent is free\, but registration is required. \n(Click Here) to register. \n———– \n(Click Here) to purchase books \n———– \nabout Storage Unit for the Spirit House \nWith sharp focus and startling language\, the poems in Maw Shein Win’s second book\, Storage Unit for the Spirit House\, look through physical objects to glimpse the ephemeral\, the material\, and the immaterial. Vinyl records\, felt wolverines\, a belt used to punish children\, pain pills\, and “show dogs with bejeweled collars” crowd into Win’s real and imagined storage units. Nats\, Buddhist animist deities from her family’s homeland of Burma\, haunt the book’s six sections. The nats\, spirits believed to have the power to influence everyday lives\, inhabit the storage units and hover around objects while forgotten children sleep under Mylar blankets and daughters try to see through the haze of a father’s cigarette smoke. \nAssemblages of both earthly and noncorporeal possessions throughout the collection become resonant and alive\, and Win must summon “a circle of drums and copper bells” to appease the nats who have moved into a long-ago family house. This careful curation of unlikely objects and images becomes an act of ritual collection that uses language to interrogate how pain in life can transform someone into a nat or a siren that lives on. Restrained lines request our imagination as we move with the poet through haunted spaces and the objects that inhabit them. \nabout Quiet Orient Riot \nTracing the conception of a child through to her birth\, Quiet Orient Riot addresses birth regimes and the politics of reproduction\, unspooling the many ways that liturgical commands and an intense demographic anxiety affect a journey towards motherhood.

SUMMARY:The Sweeney Sisters by Lian Dolan | GGP Online Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Tuesday\, November 10\, 2020 at 7 PM PDT for a GGP Online Book Club discussion of Brit Bennett’s new novel\, THE VANISHING HALF. \nThe Zoom meeting will be at https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88275010328. \nYou can order a copy in hardcover at https://bit.ly/ggpSweeney\, or in audiobook from Libro.fm\, GGP’s audiobook partner\, at https://bit.ly/SweeneyAB. \nDescription\nAn accomplished storyteller returns with her biggest\, boldest\, most entertaining novel yet—a hilarious\, heartfelt story about books\, love\, sisterhood\, and the surprises we discover in our DNA that combines the wit of Jonathan Tropper with the heart of Susan Wiggs. \nMaggie\, Eliza\, and Tricia Sweeney grew up as a happy threesome in the idyllic seaside town of Southport\, Connecticut. But their mother’s death from cancer fifteen years ago tarnished their golden-hued memories\, and the sisters drifted apart. Their one touchstone is their father\, Bill Sweeney\, an internationally famous literary lion and college professor universally adored by critics\, publishers\, and book lovers. When Bill dies unexpectedly one cool June night\, his shell-shocked daughters return to their childhood home. They aren’t quite sure what the future holds without their larger-than-life father\, but they do know how to throw an Irish wake to honor a man of his stature. \nBut as guests pay their respects and reminisce\, one stranger\, emboldened by whiskey\, has crashed the party. It turns out that she too is a Sweeney sister. \nWhen Washington\, DC based journalist Serena Tucker had her DNA tested on a whim a few weeks earlier\, she learned she had a 50% genetic match with a childhood neighbor—Maggie Sweeney of Southport\, Connecticut. It seems Serena’s chilly WASP mother\, Birdie\, had a history with Bill Sweeney—one that has remained totally secret until now. \nOnce the shock wears off\, questions abound. What does this mean for William’s literary legacy? Where is the unfinished memoir he’s stashed away\, and what will it reveal? And how will a fourth Sweeney sister—a blond among redheads—fit into their story? \nBy turns revealing\, insightful\, and uproarious\, The Sweeney Sisters is equal parts cautionary tale and celebration—a festive and heartfelt look at what truly makes a family. \nAbout the Author\n\nLian Dolan is a writer and broadcaster\, whose name is pronounced like “Liam” but with an “n.”  She is the creator and host of “Satellite Sisters”\, the award-winning and top-rated radio talk show she produces with her four real sisters: Julie\, Liz\, Sheila\, and Monica. She also created the popular podcast about modern motherhood\, “The Chaos Chronicles”\, developed by Nick at Nite for TV. Lian is the author of two Los Angeles Times best-selling novels\, Helen of Pasadena and Elizabeth the First Wife\, and a regular columnist for Pasadena Magazine. A graduate of Pomona College in Claremont\, she now lives in Pasadena\, California with her husband and two sons.

SUMMARY:Chris Hedges: The Culture of Despair
DESCRIPTION:Presented by KPFA Radio 94.1FM and Project Censored \nHosted by Mickey Huff \nWith the election over\, it’s the perfect time to get the reliably candid response of one of our few great journalists. \n“Chris Hedges has been telling truth to (and against) power since his earliest days as a radical journalist. He is an intellectual warrior who confronts American empire in the most incisive\, challenging ways. The insights he provides into the deeply troubled state of our nation cannot be found anywhere else. Like many of our most important thinkers\, he has been relegated to the margins because of ideas deemed too radical-or true-for public consumption. Whether it is covering the dissolution of former Soviet states or embedding in the Middle East to understand the post-9/11 world\, he has been a singular voice pushing against mainstream media disinformation and the amnesia of establishment received wisdom. He is an intellectual heir to American radical heroes such as Thomas Paine and Noam Chomsky\, and is dedicated to reigniting a shared commitment to radical equality and honesty.” \nPulitzer Prize-winning Chris Hedges spent nearly two decades as a correspondent in Central America\, the Middle East\, Africa\, and the Balkans\, with 15 years at the New York Times. His books include Empire of Illusion; Death of the Liberal Class; War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning; Days of Destruction\, Days of Revolt; and Wages of Rebellion. He currently writes a weekly column for Truthdig. \nMickey Huff is the Director of Project Censored\, President of the Media Freedom Foundation\, and executive producer/co-host of the Project Censored Show on Pacifica Radio. His latest books include Censored 2020: Though the Looking Glass (co-edited with Andy Lee Roth) from Seven Stories Press and United States of Distraction: Media Manipulation in Post-Truth America (And What We Can Do About It) co-authored with Nolan Higdon from City Lights Publishing. www.projectcensored.org \nSuggested Donation $5-$20. \nPresented by KPFA Radio 94.1 FM.

SUMMARY:Intro to Fiction: Opening Imagination’s Doors with Elaine Beale
DESCRIPTION:Becoming an accomplished fiction writer means developing an amalgam of skills. You need to write sentences that flow\, to master dialogue and description\, to construct scenes and stories that are vivid and paced well. And\, of course\, you need to create characters who pull on the emotions of your reader. Learning these skills can be a challenge\, but it is also immense fun. \nSays instructor\, Elaine Beale\, “I love writing fiction because I get to create characters\, worlds\, and stories. Sometimes that offers me an escape from the challenging realities around me\, and sometimes it deepens my understanding of myself and the world. \n“In my classes\, I want students to understand and build their fiction writer’s skills. I also want students to fling open the doors of their imagination and discover the profound enjoyment and fulfillment that comes from creating stories.” \nIn this remote class\, you’ll develop your skills through reading published writers\, discussing the fiction writer’s craft\, doing fun writing exercises\, as well as sharing and getting feedback on your own work. At the end of five weeks\, you’ll not only have a better grasp of what it takes to write good fiction\, but you’ll also explore the magic of your own imagination. \nNovember 11 – December 16\n5 Wednesdays\, (PST) 7:00pm – 9:30pm\n\n\n$274.35 for members \n$295 for non-members

SUMMARY:Harmada: Juan Cárdenas and Edgar Garbelotto celebrate João Gilberto Noll
DESCRIPTION:Join Unabridged Bookstore and Two Lines Press for an event celebrating João Gilberto Noll’s Harmada\, a mythic tale of art and displacement nimbly translated from Portuguese by Edgar Garbelotto. \nEdgar Garbelotto will be in conversation with Juan Cárdenas\, author of Ornamental. Sign up on Unabridged Bookstore’s website to join this virtual event. And while you’re there don’t forget to grab a copy of the book for yourself and a friend! \nAbout Harmada: \nLike an Edenic Adam birthed from the clay\, our narrator rises to his feet from the muck—reborn\, or something like that. Unbeknownst to him\, he’s on a desperate search for Harmada\, the capital city of an unnamed nation and the land of his former glory. Told using Noll’s characteristic fragmented logic and spirited prose\, Harmada traces the life of this nameless man on a voyage that takes him from aimless outcast to revered director of avant-garde theater\, from asylum patient to father to God\, conjuring along the way essential questions about the power of art and storytelling\, the vanity of glory\, and the meaning of freedom. \nA mythic tale of art and displacement nimbly translated from Portuguese by Edgar Garbelotto\, Harmada serves as yet another reminder of João Gilberto Noll’s sublime literary power: generous in its mystery; earthbound in its essential urges; and entirely unpredictable.

These poems are not only moving\, they do the most elementary work of human language. They elevate the miserable\, the barbarian\, the numb to the level of universal idiom of wisdom and grace.” ―Adam Zagajewski\, author of Asymmetry  \n“At the core of Valzhyna Mort’s lyric fusion of personal and collective history is the uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction at Chernobyl\, spreading the radiation of an unknown tongue across her natal city of Minsk\, Belarus\, a city that hides its column-ribs/under a nurse-clean robe of snow pandemics. In the liminal space between language and silence\, at dizzying imaginative speed\, Mort transmutes her third language\, English\, into something resembling a fourth: the language of all that has been kept from consciousness concerning the century past. Her lyric art in contemporary English is astonishing\, and glimmering beneath it is something not often encountered: the sensibility of another world\, arriving to inform our perilous present. Music for the Dead and Resurrected is fiercely original\, and a tour de force.”―Carolyn Forché\, author of In the Lateness of the World    \n“Mort is well-known in Europe as a crusader on behalf of Belarusian language and identity. In English\, cast in rapid-fire free verse lyrics and sequences\, her poems seem to channel her country’s complicated and highly pressurized history into a voice that is simultaneously strange\, intimate\, lonesome\, hilarious\, surreal\, and all too real . . .”―Craig Morgan Teicher\, NPR \nAbout Music for the Dead and Resurrected \nIn her letters to the dead\, the prizewinning poet Valzhyna Mort relearns how to mourn those erased by violent history. \nIn Music for the Dead and Resurrected Valzhyna Mort asks how we mourn after a century of silence and propaganda. How do we remember our history and sing after being silenced? Mort draws on intimate and paradoxical firsthand accounts of a past grandparent generation of the Soviet labor camps\, redistribution of land\, and massacres of World War II in Belarus. As her country is being run by a longtime dictator\, the poet creates a ceremony of mythmaking for the erased history and family. \nMusic for the Dead and Resurrected is a space where the living and the dead can coexist\, where the Belarusian woods can act as witnesses to forgotten lives\, and where musical form can create a new lyric mythology and an uncompromised language of remembrance. Mort\, born in Belarus and now living in America\, teaches us that the remembrance of private histories has a power to confront collective\, violent American myths.

SUMMARY:Ling Ma
DESCRIPTION:THE EVENT: \nThe Center for Literary Arts is pleased to present Ling Ma\, author of Severance\, on Thursday\, November 12\, 2020 at 7PM. ​ \nThe event discussion will be moderated by Jiayang Fan. \nJiayang Fan became a staff writer at The New Yorker in 2016. Her reporting on China\, American politics\, and culture has appeared in the magazine and on newyorker.com since 2010. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaybe it’s the end of the world\, but not for Candace Chen\, a millennial\, first-generation American and office drone meandering her way into adulthood in Ling Ma’s offbeat\, wryly funny\, apocalyptic satire\, Severance. \n\nCandace Chen\, self-sequestered in a Manhattan office tower\, is so devoted to routine that she barely notices when a plague of biblical proportions sweeps New York. Then Shen Fever spreads. Families flee. Companies halt operations. The subways squeak to a halt. Her bosses enlist her as part of a dwindling skeleton crew with a big end-date payoff. Soon entirely alone\, still unfevered\, she photographs the eerie\, abandoned city as the anonymous blogger NY Ghost. \n\nA send-up and takedown of the rituals\, routines\, and missed opportunities of contemporary life\, Ling Ma’s Severance is a moving family story\, a quirky coming-of-adulthood tale\, and a hilarious\, deadpan satire. Most important\, it’s a heartfelt tribute to the connections that drive us to do more than survive. \n\n\nTHE BOOK:  \n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTHE AUTHOR: \n\n\nLing Ma received her MFA from Cornell University. Prior to graduate school she worked as a journalist and editor. Her writing has appeared in Granta\, Vice\, Playboy\, Chicago Reader\, Ninth Letter and elsewhere. A chapter of Severance received the 2015 Graywolf SLS Prize. She lives in Chicago.

If they stay in the city\, Agnes will die\, but there is only one alternative – joining a group of volunteers in the Wilderness State. This vast expanse of unwelcoming\, untamed land is untouched by mankind. Until now. Living as nomadic hunter-gatherers\, Bea and Agnes slowly learn how to survive on this unpredictable\, often dangerous land. But as Agnes embraces the wild freedom of her new existence\, Bea realises that saving her daughter’s life means losing her in a different way. \nAt once a blazing lament of our contempt for nature and a deeply humane portrayal of motherhood\, and what it means to be human\, The New Wilderness is an extraordinary\, compelling novel for our times. \nDiane Cook is a critically acclaimed novelist and short story writer. Her debut collection\, Man v Nature\, was shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award and the L.A. Times Book Prize. A recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts fellowship\, her stories have appeared in Harper’s\, Tin House and Granta\, and Best American Short Stories. The former producer for This American Life lives in Brooklyn. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705
