SUMMARY:Daniel Mason reads from his magnificent new novel\, The Winter Soldier
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Mason reads from his magnificent new novel\, The Winter Soldier\, a sweeping\, unforgettable love story of a young doctor and nurse at a remote field hospital in the First World War. \n\n\n\n\nVienna\, 1914. Lucius is a twenty-two-year-old medical student when World War I explodes across Europe. Enraptured by romantic tales of battlefield surgery\, he enlists\, expecting a position at a well-organized field hospital. But when he arrives–at a commandeered church tucked away high in a remote valley of the Carpathian Mountains–he discovers a freezing outpost ravaged by typhus. The other doctors have fled\, and only a single mysterious nurse named Sister Margarete remains.\nBut Lucius has never lifted a surgeon’s scalpel. And as the war rages across the winter landscape\, he finds himself falling in love with the woman from whom he must learn a brutal makeshift medicine. Then one day\, an unconscious soldier is brought in from the snow\, his uniform stuffed with strange drawings. He seems beyond rescue\, until Lucius makes a fateful decision that will change the lives of doctor\, patient\, and nurse forever. \nFrom the gilded ballrooms of Imperial Vienna to the frozen forests of the Eastern Front; from hardscrabble operating rooms to battlefields thundering with Cossack cavalry\, The Winter Soldier is a story of war and medicine\, of family\, of finding love in the sweeping tides of history\, and finally\, of the mistakes we make and the precious opportunities to atone. \n\nI have been a Daniel Mason fan since The Piano Tuner. His abilities as a storyteller and a writer of the most gorgeous prose leave you wanting more. The Winter Soldier is a tour de force. I was immersed in the grandeur of Imperial Vienna and the frozen battlefields of the Eastern Front\, and in this beautiful tale of love and war\, and of our frailty and resilience in the face of both.”–Abraham Verghese\, author of Cutting for Stone \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of The Winter Soldier by speaking to a bookseller or ordering via our website. \n\nDaniel Mason is a physician and author of the novels The Piano Tuner and A Far Country. His work has been translated into twenty-eight languages and adapted for opera and theater. A recipient of a fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts\, he is currently a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at Stanford University\, where he teaches courses in the humanities and medicine. He lives in the Bay Area with his family.

SUMMARY:Christopher Woods presents Gardenlust: A Botanical Tour of the World's Best New Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Woods presents Gardenlust: A Botanical Tour of the World’s Best New Gardens\, a sumptuously illustrated survey and the perfect armchair travel guide to 50 of the most innovative modern gardens from around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn Gardenlust\, adventurous biophiliac Christopher Woods takes readers on a worldwide tour that goes beyond the palace grounds of centuries past to transport you to places of botanical wonder. From a garden defined by shape and light in Marrakech to an urban forest in Tokyo\, with each stop of this tour Woods curates a collection of contemporary gardens that inspire wanderlust not just for their exotic locations but for the people\, plants\, and stories that give these spaces life.\n\n\n\n\n\nWoods has been immersed in the worlds of horticulture\, design\, and garden-making for over 30 years. He honed his eye for innovative design while developing the Pennsylvania estate Chanticleer into one of the most revered and inspiring public gardens in the world. In the Introduction he writes\, “Several themes run through the stories that follow\, threads that make an interwoven pattern. No garden touches on just one—most have all of them.” With five criteria as his compass points—Beauty\, Nature\, People and Plants\, Nativity\, and Urbanization—Woods shows us a global vision for modern garden excellence. \nTo pair with these lust-worthy gardens\, the book itself is a work of art. The artful photographs illuminate the magnificence of some of today’s biggest public gardens\, like China’s Xi’an Expo Park\, while capturing even the tiniest details of the pendulous bleeding hearts growing in Carrie Preston’s home garden in the Netherlands. \nGardens beyond one’s wildest dreams are out there\, beckoning to be found. Gardenlust grants an all-access pass to that wild world\, where artists’ chosen medium are plants and the art is an absolutely immersive experience. A word of warning—once caught\, this case of botanical wanderlust may take you on an international adventure of epic proportions. Let Gardenlust be your guide. \n\n\n\n\n“A beautiful and relaxing tour through some of the loveliest gardens in the world! The author’s original images provide a fine taste of their gorgeous plants and the creativity used in organizing them.”–Peter H. Raven\, President Emeritus at Missouri Botanical Garden \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of Gardenlust in advance by speaking to a bookseller or via our website. \n\n\n\n\nChristopher Woods began his gardening life at the Royal Botanical Gardens\, Kew. He was director and chief designer of Chanticleer and has served as vice president for horticulture at the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden; director of the Van Dusen Botanical Garden in Vancouver\, Canada; executive director of the Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden; and director of both the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and Meadowbrook Farm. He lives in California.

SUMMARY:Juan Gabriel Vasquez
DESCRIPTION:Juan Gabriel Vasquez\n\n\n\n\nreads from The Shape of the Ruins\, his highly anticipated\, deeply personal masterpiece that is being heralded as the most ambitious novel of his career. \n“A highly sophisticated\, fast-moving political thriller set in Colombia and an excellent read.”–Alan Furst \n“One of the great novels of recent years.”–Mario Vargas Llosa \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of The Shape of the Ruins by speaking with a bookseller or ordering from our website. \n\n\n\n\n\nTuesday\, October 2\, 2018 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Shape of the Ruins is a masterly story of conspiracy\, political obsession\, and literary investigation. When a man is arrested at a museum for attempting to steal the bullet-ridden suit of a murdered Colombian politician\, few notice. But soon this thwarted theft takes on greater meaning as it becomes a thread in a widening web of popular fixations with conspiracy theories\, assassinations\, and historical secrets; and it haunts those who feel that only they know the real truth behind these killings. \nThis novel explores the darkest moments of a country’s past and brings to life the ways in which past violence shapes our present lives. A compulsive read\, beautiful and profound\, eerily relevant to our times and deeply personal\, The Shape of the Ruins is a tour-de-force story by a master at uncovering the incisive wounds of our memories. \nJuan Gabriel Vásquez’s previous books include the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award winner and national bestseller\, The Sound of Things Falling\, as well as the award-winning Reputations\, The Informers\, The Secret History of Costaguana\, and the story collection\, Lovers on All Saints’ Day. Vásquez’s novels have been published in twenty-eight languages worldwide. After sixteen years in France\, Belgium\, and Spain\, he now lives in Bogotá. \n

SUMMARY:Miriam Pawel in Conversation with T.J. Stiles discussing The Browns of California
DESCRIPTION:Miriam Pawel in Conversation with T.J. Stiles\ndiscussing The Browns of California: The Family Dynasty That Transformed a State and Shaped a Nation. \n“A remarkable book–a generational biography of a political dynasty\, ranging from the California Gold Rush to the presidency of Donald Trump. She recounts the pivotal governorship of Pat Brown and the even more significant career of his son Jerry with assured prose and a keen sense of historical context. This is the engrossing saga of complicated family at the center of American political life for the last sixty years.”–T.J. Stiles\, Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Custer’s Trials and The First Tycoon. \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of The Browns of California by speaking to a bookseller or via our website. \nEven in the land of reinvention\, the story is exceptional: Pat Brown\, the beloved father who presided over California during an era of unmatched expansion; Jerry Brown\, the cerebral son who became the youngest governor in modern times–and then returned three decades later as the oldest. \nIn The Browns of California\, journalist and scholar Miriam Pawel weaves a narrative history that spans four generations\, from August Schuckman\, the Prussian immigrant who crossed the Plains in 1852 and settled on a northern California ranch\, to his great-grandson Jerry Brown\, who reclaimed the family homestead one hundred forty years later. Through the prism of their lives\, we gain an essential understanding of California and an appreciation of its importance. \nThe magisterial story is enhanced by dozens of striking photos\, many published for the first time. This book gives new insights to those steeped in California history\, offers a corrective for those who confuse stereotypes and legend for fact\, and opens new vistas for readers familiar with only the sketchiest outlines of a place habitually viewed from afar with a mix of envy and awe\, disdain\, and fascination. \nMiriam Pawel is the author of The Crusades of Cesar Chavez: A Biography\, a National Book Critics Circle Award finalist and winner of the California Book Award\, and The Union of Their Dreams—Power\, Hope and Struggle in Cesar Chavez’s Farm Worker Movement. She is a Pulitzer-Prize winning editor and reporter who spent twenty-five years at Newsday and the Los Angeles Times. She lives in Southern California. \nT.J. Stiles is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Custer’s Trials: A Life on the Frontier of a New America\, The First Tycoon: The Epic Life of Cornelius Vanderbilt\, and Jesse James: Last Rebel of the Civil War.

SUMMARY:NT Live 2018 Fall Season: King Lear
DESCRIPTION:Oct 9\, 11\, 16 & 18 7pm\n\nTo Purchase Tickets Click HERE \nBy William Shakespeare\nStarring Ian McKellen \n★★★★★ “Ian McKellen reigns supreme in this triumphant production.” Daily Telegraph \nBroadcast live from London’s West End\, see Ian McKellen’s “extraordinarily moving portrayal” (Independent) of King Lear at Rialto Cinemas. \nChichester Festival Theatre’s production received five-star reviews for its sell-out run\, and transfers to the West End for a limited season. Jonathan Munby directs this “nuanced and powerful” (The Times) contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender\, violent\, moving and shocking play. \nConsidered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written\, King Lear sees two ageing fathers – one a King\, one his courtier – reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery\, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends.

DESCRIPTION:Jaap Robben in Conversation with Jeroen Dewulf\n\n\n\n\nreads from his award-winning novel\, You Have Me to Love\, an unforgettable story about lost childhood innocence\, isolation\, guilt and mother-son relationships. \n“An intense and dramatic novel filled with meticulous use of detail and a forensic psychological accuracy. Its power comes from the fierce energy of the narrative structure\, the way of handling silence and pain\, and the ability to confront the darkest areas of experience with clear-eyed sympathy and care. Jaap Robben handles delicate\, dangerous material with subtlety and sympathy\, but also with a visionary sense of truth that is masterly and unforgettable.”–Colm Tóibín \nTo reserve your seat\, purchase a copy of You Have Me to Love by speaking to a bookseller or ordering via our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMikael lives with his parents on an island somewhere between Scotland and Norway. One day Mikael’s father saves him from drowning in the ocean\, but is himself thrown against the rocks by a wave and disappears under water. In shock and unable to speak\, Mikael blocks out the memory of what took place\, silently joining his mother in the search for his missing father. As Mikael’s mother realizes her husband has drowned\, the relationship between her and Mikael transforms: she slowly starts to unravel\, forcing the son to replace his father in every possible way. \nJaap Robben is a popular Dutch poet\, playwright\, actor\, and children’s author. You Have Me to Love is his first novel. It received glowing reviews in the Dutch press and won the prize for the best Dutch debut novel and the 2014 Dutch Booksellers Award. \nJeroen Dewulf is Director of Dutch Studies at UC Berkeley.

SUMMARY:Fox Butterfield presents In My Father's House
DESCRIPTION:Fox Butterfield presents In My Father’s House: A New View of How Crime Runs in the Family\, a pathbreaking examination of our huge crime and incarceration problem that looks at the influence of the family–specifically one Oregon family with a generations-long legacy of lawlessness.\n\n\n\n\n“A spellbinding book\, brilliant and bone-chilling. In My Father’s House will change the way we look at what makes a criminal.”–Linda Fairstein\, author of Deadfall \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of In My Father’s House by speaking to a bookseller or ordering on our website. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe United States currently holds the distinction of housing nearly one-quarter of the world’s prison population. But our reliance on mass incarceration\, Butterfield argues\, misses the intractable reality: As few as 5 percent of families account for half of all crime\, and only 10 percent account for two-thirds. In introducing us to the Bogle family\, the author invites us to understand crime in this eye-opening new light. He chronicles the malignant legacy of criminality passed from parents to children\, grandchildren\, and even great-grandchildren. Examining the long history of the Bogles\, a white family\, Butterfield offers a revelatory look at criminality that forces us to disentangle race from our ideas about crime and\, in doing so\, strikes at the heart of our deepest stereotypes. And he makes clear how these new insights are leading to fundamentally different efforts at reform. With his empathic insight and profound knowledge of criminology\, Butterfield offers us both the indelible tale of one family’s transgressions and tribulations\, and an entirely new way to understand crime in America.\n\n\nFox Butterfield is the author of China: Alive in the Bitter Sea\, which won the National Book Award\, and All God’s Children: The Bosket Family and the American Tradition of Violence. He was a member of the New York Times reporting team that won the Pulitzer Prize for its publication of the Pentagon Papers\, and served as a bureau chief for the newspaper in Boston\, Saigon\, Tokyo\, Hong Kong\, and Beijing–where he opened the Times bureau in 1979. Most recently he was a national correspondent for the Times\, covering crime and violence. He lives in Portland\, Oregon.

SUMMARY:Leif Enger celebrating the publication of his wonderful new novel\, Virgil Wander
DESCRIPTION:Leif Enger OFFSITE @ Rialto Cinemas Elmwood\n\n\n\n\ncelebrating the publication of his wonderful new novel\, Virgil Wander\, much of which takes place in and around a beloved old movie theater not unlike our own here in the Elmwood. There will be a special screening of Cinema Paradiso in connection with the reading and signing. Buy your tickets\, with or without book\, through Eventbrite: https://leifengermrsds.eventbrite.com or in the store. We will have additional copies of Virgil Wander and Peace Like a River for sale at the event. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMidwestern movie house owner Virgil Wander is “cruising along at medium altitude” when his car flies off the road into icy Lake Superior. Virgil survives but his language and memory are altered and he emerges into a world no longer familiar to him. Awakening in this new life\, Virgil begins to piece together his personal history and the lore of his broken town\, with the help of a cast of affable and curious locals–from Rune\, a twinkling\, pipe-smoking\, kite-flying stranger investigating the mystery of his disappeared son; to Nadine\, the reserved\, enchanting wife of the vanished man\, to Tom\, a journalist and Virgil’s oldest friend; and various members of the Pea family who must confront tragedies of their own. Into this community returns a shimmering prodigal son who may hold the key to reviving their town. \nWith intelligent humor and captivating whimsy\, Leif Enger conjures a remarkable portrait of a region and its residents\, who\, for reasons of choice or circumstance\, never made it out of their defunct industrial district. Carried aloft by quotidian pleasures including movies\, fishing\, necking in parked cars\, playing baseball and falling in love\, Virgil Wander is a swift\, full journey into the heart and heartache of an often overlooked American Upper Midwest by a “formidably gifted” (Chicago Tribune) master storyteller. \nLeif Enger was raised in Osakis\, Minnesota\, and worked as a reporter and producer for Minnesota Public Radio before writing his bestselling debut novel Peace Like a River\, which won the Independent Publisher Book Award and was one of the Los Angeles Times and Time Magazine’s Best Books of the Year. His second novel\, So Brave\, Young\, and Handsome\, was also a national bestseller\, and a Midwest Booksellers’ Choice Award Honor Book for Fiction. He and his wife Robin live in Minnesota.

SUMMARY:Roshi Joan Halifax OFFSITE discusses Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet
DESCRIPTION:Roshi Joan Halifax OFFSITE discusses Standing at the Edge: Finding Freedom Where Fear and Courage Meet\, with Gaetano Maida\, sponsored by KPFA\, St. John’s Presbyterian Church\, and Mindful Schools.\n\n\n\n\nAdvance tickets: $12 : brownpapertickets.com :: T: 800-838-3006 Books Inc/Berkeley\, Pegasus (3 sites)\, Moe’s\, Walden Pond Bookstore\, Mrs. Dalloway’s. East Bay Books\, $15 door\, Wheelchair Access \n\n\n\n\n\n\nStanding at the Edge is an evocative examination of how we can respond to suffering\, live our fullest lives\, and remain open to the full spectrum of our human experience. \nJoan Halifax has enriched thousands of lives around the world through her work as a humanitarian\, a social activist\, an anthropologist\, and as a Buddhist teacher. Over many decades\, she has also collaborated with neuroscientists\, clinicians\, and psychologists to understand how contemplative practice can be a vehicle for social transformation. Through her unusual background\, she developed an understanding of how our greatest challenges can become the most valuable source of our wisdom–and how we can transform our experience of suffering into the power of compassion for the benefit of others. \nRecounting the experiences of caregivers\, activists\, humanitarians\, politicians\, parents\, and teachers\, incorporating the wisdom of Zen traditions and mindfulness practices\, and rooted in Halifax’s groundbreaking research on compassion\, Standing at the Edge is destined to become a contemporary classic. A powerful guide on how to find the freedom we seek for others and ourselves\, it is a book that will serve us all. \nRoshi Joan Halifax\, Ph.D.\, is a Buddhist teacher\, Zen priest and anthropologist. She is Founder\, Abbot\, and Head Teacher of Upaya Institute and Zen Center in Santa Fe\, New Mexico. She was a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Library of Congress and is currently the founder of Upaya Prison Project and the Nomads Clinic in Nepal. \nGaetano Kazuo Maida is the founder and executive director of Buddhist Film Foundation\, which has produced its International Buddhist Film \nFestival in ten cities on three continents. A photographer and filmmaker\, his credits include: producer/director of Peace Is Every Step—The Life and Work of Thich Nhat Hanh.
