SUMMARY:Maria Kuznetsova reads from her debut novel\, Oksana\, Behave!
DESCRIPTION:“An irresistible\, irrepressible comic saga. I utterly loved every page.”–Anthony Marra \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of Oksana\, Behave! by speaking to one of our booksellers or ordering on our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen Oksana’s family begins their new American life in Florida after emigrating from Ukraine\, her physicist father delivers pizza at night to make ends meet\, her depressed mother sits home all day worrying\, and her flamboyant grandmother relishes the attention she gets when she walks Oksana to school\, not realizing that the street they’re walking down is known as Prostitute Street. Oksana just wants to have friends and lead a normal life–and though she constantly tries to do the right thing\, she keeps getting herself in trouble. \nAs she grows up\, she continues to misbehave\, from somewhat accidentally maiming the school bus bully\, to stealing the much-coveted (and expensive-to-replace) key to New York City’s Gramercy Park\, to falling in love with a married man. As her grandmother moves back to Ukraine\, her father gets a job at Goldman Sachs\, and her mother knits endless scarves\, Oksana longs for a Russia that looms large in her imagination but is a country she never really knew. \nWhen she visits her grandmother in Yalta and learns about Baba’s wartime past and her lost loves\, Oksana begins to see just how much alike they are\, and comes to a new understanding of how to embrace life and love without causing harm to the people dearest to her. But will Oksana ever quite learn to behave? \nMaria Kuznetsova was born in Kiev\, Ukraine\, and moved to the United States as a child. She is a recent graduate of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop\, and Oksana\, Behave! is her first novel. Her fiction has appeared in the The Southern Review\, McSweeney’s Quarterly Concern\, Mississippi Review\, Kenyon Review Online\, The Threepenny Review\, and other publications. She lives in Iowa City with her family.

SUMMARY:Carolyn Burke presents Foursome: Alfred Stieglitz\, Georgia O'Keeffe\, Paul Strand\, Rebecca Salsbury
DESCRIPTION:Carolyn Burke presents Foursome: Alfred Stieglitz\, Georgia O’Keeffe\, Paul Strand\, Rebecca Salsbury\, A captivating\, spirited account of the intense relationship among four artists whose strong personalities\, passionate feelings\, and aesthetic ideals drew them together\, pulled them apart\, and profoundly influenced the very shape of twentieth-century art.\n\n\n\n\n“Intimate and exhaustively researched…offers detailed insight into one of the most important periods in American art.”–Publishers Weekly \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Foursome by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nNew York\, 1921: Alfred Stieglitz\, the most influential figure in early twentieth-century photography\, celebrates the success of his latest exhibition–the centerpiece\, a series of nude portraits of the young Georgia O’Keeffe\, soon to be his wife. It is a turning point for O’Keeffe\, poised to make her entrance into the art scene–and for Rebecca Salsbury\, the fiancée of Stieglitz’s protégé at the time\, Paul Strand. When Strand introduces Salsbury to Stieglitz and O’Keeffe\, it is the first moment of a bond between the two couples that will last more than a decade and reverberate throughout their lives. In the years that followed\, O’Keeffe and Stieglitz became the preeminent couple in American modern art\, spurring each other’s creativity. Observing their relationship led Salsbury to encourage new artistic possibilities for Strand and to rethink her own potential as an artist. In fact\, it was Salsbury\, the least known of the four\, who was the main thread that wove the two couples’ lives together. Carolyn Burke mines the correspondence of the foursome to reveal how each inspired\, provoked\, and unsettled the others while pursuing seminal modes of artistic innovation. The result is a surprising\, illuminating portrait of four extraordinary figures. \nCarolyn Burke is the author of No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf\, Lee Miller: A Life\, and Becoming Modern: The Life of Mina Loy. Born in Sydney\, Australia\, she now lives in Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Namwali Serpell in Conversation with Yael Goldstein Love discussing Serpell's new novel The Old Drift
DESCRIPTION:Namwali Serpell in Conversation with Yael Goldstein Love discussing Serpell’s new novel The Old Drift\, an electrifying debut that has already garnered three starred advance reviews and accolades from multiple writers.\n\n\n\n\n“Recalling the work of Toni Morrison and Gabriel García Márquez as a sometimes magical\, sometimes horrifically real portrait of a place\, Serpell’s novel goes into the future of the 2020s\, when the various plot threads come together in a startling conclusion. Intricately imagined\, brilliantly constructed\, and staggering in its scope\, this is an astonishing novel.”–Publishers Weekly \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the banks of the Zambezi River\, a few miles from the majestic Victoria Falls\, there was once a colonial settlement called The Old Drift. Here begins the epic story of a small African nation\, told by a mysterious swarm-like chorus that calls itself man’s greatest nemesis. The tale? A playful panorama of history\, fairytale\, romance and science fiction. The moral? To err is human. \nFrom a woman covered with hair and another plagued with endless tears\, to forbidden love affairs and fiery political ones\, to homegrown technological marvels like Afronauts\, microdrones and viral vaccines – this gripping\, unforgettable novel sweeps over the years and the globe\, subverting expectations along the way. Exploding with color and energy\, The Old Drift is a testament to our yearning to create and cross borders\, and a meditation on the slow\, grand passage of time. \nNamwali Serpell is a Zambian writer who teaches at the UC Berkeley. She received a Rona Jaffe Foundation Writers’ Award for women writers in 2011 and was selected for the Africa 39\, a 2014 Hay Festival project to identify the best African writers under 40. She won the 2015 Caine Prize for African writing. \nYael Goldstein Love is co-fouder and Editorial Director of the digital literary studio Plympton. She is also the author of the novels Overture and The Passion of Tasha Darsky\, which are actually the same novel. She is currently completing her second novel\, set during the Haitian Revolution.

SUMMARY:Lori Gottlieb presents Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist\, Her Therapist\, and Our Lives Revealed\, currently being adapted for television with Eva Longoria and ABC.
DESCRIPTION:Lori Gottlieb presents Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist\, Her Therapist\, and Our Lives Revealed\, currently being adapted for television with Eva Longoria and ABC.\n\n\n\n\n“If you have even an ounce of interest in the therapeutic process\, or in the conundrum of being human\, you must read this book. It is wise\, warm\, smart and funny\, and Lori Gottlieb is exceedingly good company.”–Susan Cain \n“Gottlieb is an utterly compelling narrator: funny\, probing\, savvy\, vulnerable. She pays attention to the small stuff–the box of tissues and the Legos in the carpet–as she honors the more expansive mysteries of our wild\, aching hearts.”–Leslie Jamison \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by speaking to one of our booksellers or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne day\, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next\, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell\, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head\, cardigan\, and khakis\, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but. \nAs Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients’ lives- a self-absorbed Hollywood producer\, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness\, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better\, and a twenty-something who can’t stop hooking up with the wrong guys- she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell. \nWith startling wisdom and humor\, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient\, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire\, meaning and mortality\, guilt and redemption\, terror and courage\, hope and change. \nMaybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor\, offering a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human\, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.\n\n\nLori Gottlieb is a psychotherapist and the author of Marry Him and Stick Figure. A sought-after expert\, she has appeared on The Today Show\, Good Morning America\, The CBS Early Show\, MSNBC\, and CNN\, and writes The Atlantic’s advice column\, “Dear Therapist.”

SUMMARY:Timothy Hampton presents Bob Dylan's Poetics: How the Songs Work
DESCRIPTION:Timothy Hampton presents Bob Dylan’s Poetics: How the Songs Work\, a close examination of Bob Dylan’s songs that locates his transgressive style within a long history of modern (and modernist) art.\n\n\n\n\n“A truly powerful book written by one of the leading scholars of the history of poetry today. The writing is clear and intellectually most exciting: Dylan’s idiosyncratic genius is explained more compellingly than ever before. Hampton remains relevant\, exciting and persuasively accurate as he shows the genesis of the songs as musical and literary forms and assesses their originality….the study sets a gold standard.”–Nigel Smith\, Princeton University \nTo reserve your seat please purchase a copy of Bob Dylan’s Poetics by speaking to a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature recognized Bob Dylan as a major modern artist\, elevating his work beyond the world of popular music. In this book\, Timothy Hampton focuses on the details and nuances of Dylan’s songs\, showing how they work as artistic statements designed to create meaning and elicit emotion. With Bob Dylan’s Poetics\, Hampton offers a unique examination of both the poetics and politics of Dylan’s compositions. He studies Dylan not as a pop hero\, but as an artist\, as a maker of songs. \nFocusing on the interplay of music and lyric\, Hampton traces Dylan’s innovative use of musical form\, his complex manipulation of poetic diction\, and his dialogues with other artists\, from Woody Guthrie to Arthur Rimbaud. Moving from Dylan’s earliest experiments with the blues through his mastery of rock and country to his densely allusive more recent recordings\, Hampton offers a detailed account of Dylan’s achievement. Locating Dylan in the long history of artistic modernism\, he examines the relationships among form\, genre\, and the political and social themes that crisscross Dylan’s work. With this book\, Hampton offers both a nuanced engagement with the work of a major artist and a meditation on the contribution of song at times of political and social change. \nTimothy Hampton teaches literature at UC Berkeley\, where he also directs the Townsend Center for the Humanities. He has written widely about literature and culture across several languages and is the author\, most recently\, of Fictions of Embassy: Literature and Diplomacy in Early Modern Europe.

SUMMARY:Gareth Hinds in Conversation with Pam Turner discussing his exciting new graphic novel adaptation of Homer's epic tale\,The Iliad. 
DESCRIPTION:“This is no mere comics adaptation of an ancient classic. Through his intricately illustrated panels\, Gareth Hinds brings us The Iliad’s depth\, brutality\, and power.

Printz Award winner for American Born Chinese\n\n\n\n\nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of The Iliad in advance by speaking to a bookseller or ordering through our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore than three thousand years ago\, two armies faced each other in an epic battle that rewrote history and came to be known as the Trojan War. The Iliad\, Homer’s legendary account of this nine-year ordeal\, is considered the greatest war story of all time and one of the most important works of Western literature. In this stunning graphic novel adaptation — a thoroughly researched and artfully rendered masterwork — renowned illustrator Gareth Hinds captures all the grim glory of Homer’s epic. Dynamic illustrations take readers directly to the plains of Troy\, into the battle itself\, and lay bare the complex emotions of the men\, women\, and gods whose struggles fueled the war and determined its outcome. This companion volume to Hinds’s award-winning adaptation of The Odyssey features notes\, maps\, a cast of characters\, and other tools to help readers understand all the action and drama of Homer’s epic. \nGareth Hinds is the acclaimed creator of the graphic novels The Odyssey\, Poe\, Beowulf\, Macbeth\, Romeo and Juliet\, The Merchant of Venice\, and King Lear. He lives near Washington\, D.C. \nOakland native Pam Turner (author) and Gareth Hinds (illustrator) previously collaborated on Samurai Rising\, a YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Award Finalist and American Library Association Notable Book.
