SUMMARY:Celeste Ng w/ Bich Minh Nguyen
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith is thrilled to welcome Celeste Ng (Everything I Never Told You) to the store for her new novel Little Fires Everywhere. With her in conversation will be Bich Minh Nguyen. Please join us! \nIn Shaker Heights\, a placid\, progressive suburb of Cleveland\, everything is planned – from the layout of the winding roads\, to the colors of the houses\, to the successful lives its residents will go on to lead. And no one embodies this spirit more than Elena Richardson\, whose guiding principle is playing by the rules. \nEnter Mia Warren – an enigmatic artist and single mother – who arrives in this idyllic bubble with her teenaged daughter Pearl\, and rents a house from the Richardsons. Soon Mia and Pearl become more than tenants: all four Richardson children are drawn to the mother-daughter pair. But Mia carries with her a mysterious past and a disregard for the status quo that threatens to upend this carefully ordered community. \nWhen old family friends of the Richardsons attempt to adopt a Chinese-American baby\, a custody battle erupts that dramatically divides the town–and puts Mia and Elena on opposing sides. Suspicious of Mia and her motives\, Elena is determined to uncover the secrets in Mia’s past. But her obsession will come at unexpected and devastating costs. \nLittle Fires Everywhere explores the weight of secrets\, the nature of art and identity\, and the ferocious pull of motherhood – and the danger of believing that following the rules can avert disaster. \nCeleste Ng grew up in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, and Shaker Heights\, Ohio. She attended Harvard University and earned an MFA from the University of Michigan. She lives in Cambridge\, Massachusetts\, with her husband and son. \nBich Minh Nguyen\, who also goes by Beth\, is the author of three books\, all with Viking Penguin: the memoir Stealing Buddha’s Dinner\, which received the PEN/Jerard Award\, the novel Short Girls\, which received an American Book Award\, and most recently the novel Pioneer Girl. She teaches in and directs the MFA in Writing Program at the University of San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Launch Party w/ Ho Lin
DESCRIPTION:Ho Lin\, co-editor of the long-running literary journal Caveat Lector\, joins us in the Marina for a Launch Party celebrating his dazzling fiction debut\, China Girl: And Other Stories. \nA modern woman adrift in modern China. Would-be lovers connected and separated by random chance. A drunken dissident and his less-then-happy minder. A researcher of war atrocities who must come to grips with her own family tragedies. A princess of a kingdom that no longer exists. Actors placed at the service of comedies and tragedies\, depending on a filmmaker’s whim… These are the characters that populate Ho Lin’s short story collection China Girl. \nIn its nine tales\, China Girl documents the collisions between East and West\, the power of myth and the burden of history\, and loves lost and almost found. The stories in this collection encompass everything from contemporary vignettes about urban life to fable-like musings on memories and the art of storytelling. Wide-ranging and playful\, China Girl is a journey into today’s Asia as well as an Asia of the imagination.

SUMMARY:The Irish and the Jews: Jews in Irish Literature
DESCRIPTION:From the Middle Ages and the Annals of Innisfallen to Leopold Bloom\, there has been a constant Jewish presence in a millennium of Irish writing. Join us for a fascinating look at this history in a landmark exhibit that has enjoyed a highly successful tour of Ireland this year. “Representation of Jews in Irish Literature” created by Professor Pól Ó Dochartaigh\, VP of Galway University\, uncovers a wealth of facts – some disconcerting\, some fun. For instance\, did you know that\, influenced by a 13th century illustration of the “Wandering Jew\,” Irish Gothic writer Charles Maturin’s Melmoth the Wanderer was said to be the template for Irish author Bram Stoker’s Dracula? \nRuth Gilligan’s acclaimed novel Nine Folds to a Paper Swan spans three generations of Irish Jewish families in the 1900s. Hear how the writer came across and fictionalized stories of the little-known Jewish community in Ireland.\nPoet Simon Lewis\, reads from his Hennessy Award-winning poetry collection Jewtown and talks about the Jewish Quarter of the same name in Cork City. Settlers here moved up the ranks\, rapidly producing an educated community including a city mayor. \nValerie Lapin\, shows short clips of her film Shalom Ireland\, which profiles prominent Irish Jews including Robert Briscoe\, the first Jewish Lord Mayor of Dublin; Irish-born Rabbi Isaac Herzog\, the first Chief Rabbi of Israel. Shalom Ireland tells the untold story of how Irish Jews participated in the creation of both Ireland and Israel. \nPanel discussion moderated by Mashey Bernstein. Mashey was raised in an orthodox Jewish family in Dublin\, Ireland\, and has lived in Santa Barbara\, California\, for several years. He recently retired from the Writing Program and Film and Media Studies Dept at UCSB.

Educated in the city at St. James and Riordan\, he earned a B.A. in Spanish literature across the bay at UC Berkeley before relocating to Madrid\, where he obtained an M.A. in Hispanic Civilization from New York University (“NYU in Spain”). Upon his return to the United States after a ten-year stint in Europe\, Aragón began a period of activity that included his own writing\, editing\, translating\, and literary curating. After completing graduate degrees in creative writing from UC Davis (M.A.) and the University of Notre Dame (M.F.A.)\, he joined the faculty at the University of Notre Dame’s Institute for Latino Studies (ILS)\, where he established the ILS’ literary initiative—Letras Latinas\, where he has conceived of and overseen programs for Latinx poets and writers. His work in this area led him to serve the literary community at-large\, including as a panelist for the National Endowment for the Arts\, a nominator for various literary distinctions\, and as a trustee of the Association of Writers and Writing Programs (AWP) from 2008 to 2012. In 2010\, he was awarded the “Outstanding Latino/a Cultural Arts\, Literary Arts and Publications Award by the American Association of Hispanics in Higher Education and in 2015 a VIDO Award by VIDA\, Women in the Literary Arts. In 2017\, he was a finalist for Split This Rock’s Freedom Plow Award for poetry and activism.

Morejón graduated with honors at the University of Havana\, having studied Caribbean and French Literature\, and she is fluent in French\, English. The daughter of a stevedore of African descent and a mother of Chinese Cuban and European descent\, Nancy writes of Cuban mestizo culture. Also a daughter of the Cuban revolution\, her work explores a range of themes: the mythology of the Cuban nation\, the relation of the blacks of Cuba within that nation. In addition\, she also voices the situation of women within her society\, expressing concern for women’s experience and for racial equality within the Cuban revolution. Her work also treats the grievous fact of slavery as an ancestral experience. Her work treats political themes as well as intimate\, familial topics. She is a well-regarded translator of French and English into Spanish\, particularly Caribbean writers\, including Edouard Glissant\, Jacques Roumain and Aimé Césaire\, René Depestre. Her own poetry has been translated into English\, German\, French\, Portuguese\, Gallego\, Russian\, Macedonian\, and others.

This national prize for literature was created in 1983; Nicolás Guillén was the first to receive it. She also won the Golden Wreath of the Struga poetry evenings for 2006. She has toured extensively in the United States\, Latin America\, and in other countries\, and Nancy will also be accompanied by Daisy Salas\, who works as a coordinator for Cuban artists and writers.

SUMMARY:Rage\, Resistance and a Rejection of Resignation
DESCRIPTION:Ireland has long had a tradition of rebellion\, with resistance being a refusal to accept the condition we find ourselves in. Art can speak to power by subverting the rational and opening up new possibilities. Can writers and artists dream new worlds into existence that can stand against a monolithic globalized corporate consumer society? Emer Martin’s darkly comic work examines power and the abuse of it. Her characters have always been like the dogs howling at the edge of town. Emer reads from a selection of her work and opens up the conversation of what role artists can play in the new culture of rage and resistance in these darkly turbulent times.

SUMMARY:How The Irish Won The West
DESCRIPTION:The historical focus on the Irish diaspora in the U.S. has always been on the east coast. Often ignored is the legion of ‘two boat Irish’ who made their way into the vast American West. These included fur trappers\, miners\, soldiers\, gangsters\, and prostitutes. A fair sprinkling made vast fortunes\, and a good proportion found their way to California. In his book How the Irish Won the West\, Myles Dungan has disinterred many of these narratives. If they weren’t verifiably true\, you probably wouldn’t believe most of them.\nMyles Dungan is an Irish historian\, broadcaster\, playwright and novelist. He is the author of a number of books on Irish and American history\, holds a PhD from Trinity College\, Dublin\, has taught in U.C. Berkeley as a Fulbright scholar\, and presents the weekly History Show on Irish National Radio (RTE). \nMyles will be introduced by Tony Bucher\, President of the Irish Literary & Historical Society. \nMartin Hayes’ soulful interpretations of traditional Irish music are recognized the world over for their exquisite musicality and irresistible rhythm. He has toured and recorded with guitarist Dennis Cahill for over twenty years\, and has collaborated with extraordinary musicians in the classical\, folk and contemporary music worlds including Bill Frisell\, Ricky Skaggs\, Jordi Savall\, Brooklyn Rider and the Irish Chamber Orchestra as well as many of the greatest Irish musicians over the past thirty years. Martin has contributed music\, both original and traditional arrangements to modern dance\, theatre\, film and television. He has performed on stage with Sting and Paul Simon and recently recorded with Yo Yo Ma’s Silk Road Project.
