SUMMARY:Joyce Carol Oates reads from her new collection of short stories\, Beautiful Days\, which includes the 2017 Pushcart Prize-winning "Undocumented Alien."
DESCRIPTION:In the diverse stories of Beautiful Days\, Joyce Carol Oates explores the most secret\, intimate\, and unacknowledged interior lives of characters not unlike ourselves\, who assert their independence in acts of bold and often irrevocable defiance. \n“Fleuve Bleu” exemplifies the rich sensuousness of Oates’s prose as lovers married to other persons vow to establish\, in their intimacy\, a ruthlessly honest\, truth-telling authenticity missing elsewhere in their complicated lives\, with unexpected results. In “Big Burnt\,” set on lushly rendered Lake George in the Adirondacks\, a cunningly manipulative university professor exploits a too-trusting woman in a way she could never have anticipated. In a more experimental but no less intimate mode\, “Les beaux jours” examines the ambiguities of an intensely erotic\, exploitative relationship between a “master” artist and his adoring young female model. And the tragic “Undocumented Alien” depicts a young African student enrolled in an American university who is suddenly stripped of his student visa and forced to undergo a terrifying test of courage. \nIn these stories\, as elsewhere in her fiction\, Joyce Carol Oates exhibits her fascination with the social\, psychological\, and moral boundaries that govern our behavior–until the hour when they do not.

SUMMARY:Michael David Lukas reads from his new novel\, The Last Watchman of Old Cairo.
DESCRIPTION:“A beautiful\, richly textured novel\, ambitious and delicately crafted.”– Rabih Alameddine \n\n\n\n\n\nIn this spellbinding novel\, a young man journeys from California to Cairo to unravel centuries-old family secrets.\n\n\n\n\n\nJoseph\, a literature student at Berkeley\, is the son of a Jewish mother and a Muslim father. One day\, a mysterious package arrives on his doorstep\, pulling him into a mesmerizing adventure to uncover the tangled history that binds the two sides of his family. For generations\, the men of the al-Raqb family have served as watchmen of the storied Ibn Ezra Synagogue in Old Cairo\, built at the site where the infant Moses was taken from the Nile. Joseph learns of his ancestor Ali\, a Muslim orphan who nearly a thousand years earlier was entrusted as the first watchman of the synagogue and became enchanted by its legendary–perhaps magical–Ezra Scroll. The story of Joseph’s family is entwined with that of the British twin sisters Agnes and Margaret\, who in 1897 depart their hallowed Cambridge halls on a mission to rescue sacred texts that have begun to disappear from the synagogue. \nThe Last Watchman of Old Cairo is a moving page-turner of a novel from acclaimed storyteller Michael David Lukas. This tightly woven multigenerational tale illuminates the tensions that have torn communities apart and the unlikely forces–potent magic\, forbidden love–that boldly attempt to bridge that divide. \nMichael David Lukas is the author of the internationally bestselling novel The Oracle of Stamboul\, which was a finalist for the California Book Award\, the Northern California Independent Booksellers Association Book of the Year Award\, and the Harold U. Ribalow Prize\, and has been published in fifteen languages. He has been a Fulbright Scholar in Turkey\, a student at the American University of Cairo\, and a night-shift proofreader in Tel Aviv. A graduate of Brown University\, he has received a fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts\, and his writing has appeared in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. He works in the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at UC Berkeley and lives in Oakland.
