SUMMARY:Robin Sloan  reads from his novel\, Sourdough
DESCRIPTION:Robin Sloan reads from his novel\, Sourdough\, the much-anticipated new work from the author of the bestselling Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore. \n\n\n\n\nBuy a book to reserve your seat! Call the store 510.704.8222. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLois Clary is a software engineer at General Dexterity\, a San Francisco robotics company with world-changing ambitions. She codes all day and collapses at night\, her human contact limited to the two brothers who run the neighborhood hole-in-the-wall from which she orders dinner every evening. Then\, disaster! Visa issues. The brothers close up shop\, and fast. But they have one last delivery for Lois: their culture\, the sourdough starter used to bake their bread. She must keep it alive\, they tell her–feed it daily\, play it music\, and learn to bake with it. \nLois is no baker\, but she could use a roommate\, even if it is a needy colony of microorganisms. Soon\, not only is she eating her own homemade bread\, she’s providing loaves daily to the General Dexterity cafeteria. The company chef urges her to take her product to the farmer’s market\, and a whole new world opens up. \nWhen Lois comes before the jury that decides who sells what at Bay Area markets\, she encounters a close-knit club with no appetite for new members. But then\, an alternative emerges: a secret market that aims to fuse food and technology. But who are these people\, exactly? \nLeavened by the same infectious intelligence that made Robin Sloan’s Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore such a sensation\, while taking on even more satisfying challenges\, Sourdough marks the triumphant return of a unique and beloved young writer. \nA Michigan native\, Robin Sloan now divides his time between Berkeley and the internet.

SUMMARY:Jessica Powers  Launching her YA novel\, Broken Circle\,
DESCRIPTION:Jessica Powers Launching her YA novel\, Broken Circle\, “a fast-paced\, page-turning story!”–Skila Brown\, author of Caminar. \n\n\n\n\nBuy a book to reserve your seat! Call the store 510.704.8222. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAdam wants nothing more than to be a “normal” teen\, but his reality is quickly leaking normal. Afraid to sleep because of the monster that stalks his dreams\, Adam’s breakdown at school in front of his crush Sarah lands him in the hospital. \nAs he struggles to cope with his day-to-day life\, Adam can only vaguely comprehend some sort of future. His mother died when he was only four and his eccentric father–who might be an assassin\, a voodoo god\, the reincarnation of the Buddha\, or something even stranger–is never available when Adam really needs him. Even his paranoid grandfather\, who insists that people are “out to kill the entire family\,” is no help. \nAdam’s life takes an even weirder turn when a fat man with a gold tooth and a medallion confronts his father regarding Adam’s supposed “True Destiny.” Adam is soon headed toward a collision with life\, death\, and the entities charged with shepherding souls of the newly dead\, all competing to control lucrative territories where some nightmares are real and psychopomps of ancient legends walk the streets of North America. \nJessica Powers is the award-winning author of three young adult novels\, The Confessional\, This Thing Called the Future\, and Amina. She is also the editor of two collections of essays and author of a picture book\, Colors of the Wind. She works as an editor/publicist for Cinco Puntos Press\, and is founder and editor of the online blog\, The Pirate Tree: Social Justice and Children’s Literature. She teaches creative writing\, literature\, and composition at Skyline College.

SUMMARY:Cristina Garcia  reading from her new novel\, Here in Berlin
DESCRIPTION:  \nBuy a book to reserve your seat! Call the store 510.704.8222. \n\n\n\n\n\nHere in Berlin is a portrait of a city through snapshots\, an excavation of the stories and ghosts of contemporary Berlin–its complex\, troubled past still pulsing in the air as it was during World War II. Critically acclaimed novelist Cristina Garcia brings the people of this famed city to life\, their stories bristling with regret\, desire\, and longing.\n\n\n\n\n\nAn unnamed Visitor travels to Berlin with a camera looking for reckonings of her own. The city itself is a character–vibrant and postapocalyptic\, flat and featureless except for its rivers\, its lakes\, its legions of bicyclists. Here she encounters a people’s history: the Cuban teen taken as a POW on a German submarine only to return home to a family who doesn’t believe him; the young Jewish scholar hidden in a sarcophagus until safe passage to England is found; the female lawyer haunted by a childhood of deprivation in the bombed-out suburbs who still defends those accused of war crimes; a young nurse with a checkered past who joins the Reich at a medical facility more intent on dispensing with the wounded than healing them; and the son of a zookeeper at the Berlin Zoo\, fighting to keep the animals safe from both war and an increasingly starving populace. \nA meditation on war and mystery\, this is an exciting new work by one of our most gifted novelists\, one that seeks to align the stories of the past with the stories of the future. \nCristina Garcia is the author of seven novels\, including: Dreaming in Cuban\, The Aguero Sisters\, Monkey Hunting\, A Handbook to Luck\, The Lady Matador’s Hotel\, andKing of Cuba. Her work has been translated into fourteen languages. She is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a Whiting Writers’ Award\, a Hodder Fellowship at Princeton University\, and an NEA grant\, among others. Garcia has taught at universities nationwide. Recently\, she completed her tenure as University Chair in Creative Writing at Texas State University-San Marcos and as Visiting Professor at the Michener Center for Writers at the University of Texas-Austin. She lives in the Bay Area.

SUMMARY:Jennifer Egan reading from Manhattan Beach

SUMMARY:Victoria Sweet reading from Slow Medicine: The Way to Healing.
DESCRIPTION:  \nBuy a book to reserve your seat! Call the store 510.704.8222. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the years that Victoria Sweet has been a physician\, “healthcare” has replaced medicine\, “providers” look at their laptops more than at their patients\, and costs keep soaring\, all in the ruthless pursuit of efficiency. Yet the remedy that economists and policy makers continue to miss is also miraculously simple. Good medicine takes more than amazing technology; it takes time–time to respond to bodies as well as data\, time to arrive at the right diagnosis and the right treatment. \nSweet knows this because she has learned and lived it over the course of her remarkable career. Here she relates unforgettable stories of the teachers\, doctors\, nurses\, and patients through whom she discovered the practice of Slow Medicine\, in which she has been both pioneer and inspiration. Medicine\, she helps us to see\, is a craft and an art as well as a science. It is relational\, personal\, even spiritual. To do it well requires a hard-won wisdom that no algorithm can replace–that brings together “fast” and “slow” in a truly effective\, efficient\, sustainable\, and humane way of healing. \nVictoria Sweet was a physician at San Francisco’s Laguna Honda Hospital for more than twenty years\, an experience she chronicled in God’s Hotel: A Doctor\, a Hospital\, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine. An associate clinical professor of medicine at the University of California\, San Francisco\, she is also a prizewinning historian with a Ph.D. in history and social medicine\, and the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellows

Seeking the answer\, Poetry Magazine since 2005 has published a column called “The View From Here\,” which has invited readers “from outside the world of poetry” to describe what has drawn them to poetry. Over the years\, the incredibly diverse set of contributors have included philosophers\, journalists\, musicians\, and artists\, as well as doctors and soldiers\, an iron-worker\, an anthropologist\, and an economist. This collection brings together fifty compelling pieces\, which are in turns surprising\, provocative\, touching\, and funny. \nWho Reads Poetry offers a truly unique and broad selection of perspectives and reflections\, proving that poetry can be read by everyone. No matter what you’re seeking\, you can find it within the lines of a poem. \nFred Sasaki edits Poetry magazine’s prose feature “The View from Here\,” from which the essays in this book are gathered. He is the art director of Poetry magazine and a gallery curator at the Poetry Foundation. He authored Real Life Emails\, a book of deluded emails\, and the zine series FRED SASAKI’S AND FRED SASAKI’S FOUR-PAGER GUIDE TO: HOW TO FIX YOU. In 2004 he founded Chicago Printers Ball\, an annual celebration of poetry and printmaking. He is also cofounder of the Homeroom 101 pop and subculture show. \nDon Share is the editor of Poetry magazine. Among his twelve books are Wishbone\, Union\, and Bunting’s Persia; he also edited a critical edition of Basil Bunting’s poems\, named a Book of the Year by the Times of London and the New Statesman. Miguel Hernández\, his book of translations\, was awarded the Times Literary Supplement Translation Prize and Premio Valle Inclán. Other books of his include Seneca in English\, Squandermania\, and The Open Door: 100 Poems\, 100 Years of “Poetry” Magazine. Share received a VIDA “VIDO” Award for his contributions to American literature and literary community. \nAri Banias is the author of Anybody\, a debut collection of poetry\, published by W.W. Norton in 2016. He is the recipient of the 2014 Cecil Hemley Memorial Award from the Poetry Society of America and the 2012 Campbell Corner Prize. He has been awarded fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts\, the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown\, the Wisconsin Institute for Creative Writing\, and Stanford University’s Wallace Stegner program.
