SUMMARY:Prerna Lal launching Unsung America: Immigrant Trailblazers and Our Fight for Freedom
DESCRIPTION:Prerna Lal launching Unsung America: Immigrant Trailblazers and Our Fight for Freedom. Please join us for a most timely discussion. \n\n\n\n\n“Deeply insightful and intentionally detailed–Prerna Lal has conceived a text that breaks down the inner workings of the United States immigration system and the impact it has had on the lives of countless immigrants and families. Lal lays out a timeline both old and new\, that vividly chronicles the birth and impact of certain policies\, views\, and opinions within the realm of immigration policy.”–Juan Escalante \nTo reserve your seat please purchase a copy of Unsung America by speaking to a bookseller or clicking on the cover below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nFar too often\, immigrants are demonized and scapegoated\, when they should be celebrated as heroes and revolutionaries. This book strings together both triumphant and painful stories of immigrants who blazed trails and broke barriers in their fight for American citizenship and fundamental human rights. \nThese are ordinary people who have used their own stories on the fight for citizenship to illustrate their triumphs and trials as immigrants in a new land. Each uses a different strategy and tactics; what works for one does not work for another. They all have one thing in common\, however—a desire for racial and social justice. \n  \nPrerna Lal is a naturalized United States citizen\, born and raised in Fiji Islands with roots in the San Francisco Bay Area. Lal is an Indo-Fijian attorney\, based in the Bay Area\, and founder of DreamActivist\, an online advocacy network led by undocumented youth. Through the use of social media\, Lal has been credited for organising an online network to stop the deportations of undocumented youth and they are well known as one of the pivotal figures and leaders of the DREAM Act movement. A clinical law professor\, Lal is a frequent writer on immigration\, racial justice\, sexual orientation\, and how these forces intersect.

SUMMARY:Lawrence Weschler  presents And How Are You\, Dr. Sacks? A Biographical Memoir of Oliver Sacks
DESCRIPTION:Lawrence Weschler presents And How Are You\, Dr. Sacks? A Biographical Memoir of Oliver Sacks\, the untold story of the famous neurologist\, his own most singular patient. \n\n\n\n\n“The story of Lawrence Weschler’s faithful four-decade friendship with the amazing Oliver Sacks offers pleasures and amazements on every page. This loving but unblinking portrait will delight fans of Dr. Sacks as well as devotees of Weschler’s always-pathfinding nonfiction.”–Ian Frazier \nTo reserve your seat in advance please purchase a copy of And How Are You\, Dr. Sacks? by speaking with a bookseller or clicking on the cover image below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nLawrence Weschler began spending time with Oliver Sacks in the early 1980s\, when he set out to profile the neurologist for The New Yorker. Almost a decade earlier\, Dr. Sacks had published his masterpiece Awakenings–the account of his long-dormant patients’ miraculous but troubling return to life in a Bronx hospital ward. But the book had hardly been an immediate success\, and the rumpled clinician was still largely unknown. Over the ensuing four years\, the two men worked closely together until\, for wracking personal reasons\, Sacks asked Weschler to abandon the profile\, a request to which Weschler acceded. The two remained close friends\, however\, across the next thirty years and then\, just as Sacks was dying\, he urged Weschler to take up the project once again. This book is the result of that entreaty. \nWeschler sets Sacks’s brilliant table talk and extravagant personality in vivid relief\, casting himself as a beanpole Sancho to Sacks’s capacious Quixote. We see Sacks rowing and ranting and caring deeply; composing the essays that would form The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat; recalling his turbulent drug-fueled younger days; helping his patients and exhausting his friends; and waging intellectual war against a medical and scientific establishment that failed to address his greatest concern: the spontaneous specificity of the individual human soul. And all the while he is pouring out a stream of glorious\, ribald\, hilarious\, and often profound conversation that establishes him as one of the great talkers of the age. Here is the definitive portrait of Sacks as our preeminent romantic scientist\, a self-described “clinical ontologist” whose entire practice revolved around the single fundamental question he effectively asked each of his patients: How are you? Which is to say\, How do you be? \nA question which Weschler\, with this book\, turns back on the good doctor himself. \nLawrence Weschler\, a longtime veteran of The New Yorker and a regular contributor to NPR\, is the director emeritus of the New York Institute of the Humanities at NYU and the author of nearly twenty books\, including Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees\, Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonder\, Everything That Rises\, and Vermeer in Bosnia.

SUMMARY:Rosalind Brackenbury  returns to read from her exquisite new novel\, Without Her.
DESCRIPTION:To reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Without Her in advance by speaking to a bookseller or clicking on the cover below. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen her old friend Hannah doesn’t show up at her house in the south of France\, everyone assumes that Claudia\, who has known Hannah since their shared years at boarding school\, will know where she is\, and what has happened. But as Claudia travels from the USA to France to help Hannah’s husband and children conduct their search\, she is forced to deal with her old jealousy of Hannah\, as well as her own relationship in the present with her French lover\, Alexandre. As events unfold\, Claudia begins to wonder if Hannah and Alexandre may have had an affair and if that has had something to do with Hannah’s mysterious disappearance. In this exquisitely written\, Ferrante-esque novel\, the question of whether or not Hannah will come back becomes urgent and bewildering. And if she doesn’t come back\, what will the lives of her friends and family be without her? \nPoet and novelist Rosalind Brackenbury is the author of Becoming George Sand\, Paris Still Life\, The Third Swimmer\, and The Lost Love Letters of Henri Fournier. A former writer-in-residence at the College of William and Mary\, she has also served as poet laureate of Key West\, teaching poetry workshops. Born in London\, Rosalind lived in Scotland and France before moving to the United States. She now lives in Key West. Her latest poetry collection\, Invisible Horses\, was published in May.
