SUMMARY:Jonathan Franzen\, Crossroads
DESCRIPTION:TICKETED VIRTUAL EVENT: Bookshop Santa Cruz is thrilled to host local and award-winning author Jonathan Franzen for the launch event of his new book\, Crossroads\, which tells the story of a Midwestern family across three generations\, mirroring the preoccupations and dilemmas of the United States from the Vietnam War to the 2020s. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \n \nClick here for tickets to this special virtual event\, which include a signed copy of Crossroads. \nBookshop Santa Cruz is exclusively able to offer personalized\, autographed copies of Crossroads. Details available with ticket purchase. \nA tour de force of interwoven perspectives and sustained suspense\, its action largely unfolding on a single winter day\, Crossroads is the story of a Midwestern family at a pivotal moment of moral crisis. Jonathan Franzen’s gift for melding the small picture and the big picture has never been more dazzlingly evident. \nIt’s December 23\, 1971\, and heavy weather is forecast for Chicago. Russ Hildebrandt\, the associate pastor of a liberal suburban church\, is on the brink of breaking free of a marriage he finds joyless—unless his wife\, Marion\, who has her own secret life\, beats him to it. Their eldest child\, Clem\, is coming home from college on fire with moral absolutism\, having taken an action that will shatter his father. Clem’s sister\, Becky\, long the social queen of her high-school class\, has sharply veered into the counterculture\, while their brilliant younger brother Perry\, who’s been selling drugs to seventh graders\, has resolved to be a better person. Each of the Hildebrandts seeks a freedom that each of the others threatens to complicate. \nJonathan Franzen’s novels are celebrated for their unforgettably vivid characters and for their keen-eyed take on contemporary America. Now\, in Crossroads\, Franzen ventures back into the past and explores the history of two generations. With characteristic humor and complexity\, and with even greater warmth\, he conjures a world that resonates powerfully with our own. \nJonathan Franzen is the author of Purity\, The Corrections\, and Freedom\, among other novels\, and works of nonfiction including Farther Away and The Kraus Project\, all published by Farrar\, Straus and Giroux. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, the German Akademie der Künste\, and the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres and lives in Santa Cruz\, California.

SUMMARY:Living Writers: Giannina Braschi
DESCRIPTION:Giannina Braschi was born in San Juan\, Puerto Rico. She was a fashion model\, singer\, and tennis champion in her teen years. She studied literature in Madrid\, Rome\, London\, and Rouen before settling in New York City. With a Ph.D. in Hispanic Literatures from State University of New York\, Stony Brook\, she taught at Rutgers University\, City University of New York\, and Colgate University. She has published on Cervantes\, Garcilaso\, Machado\, Lorca\, and Bécquer. A Literature Fellow of the National Endowment for the Arts\, Braschi has won awards/grants from Ford Foundation\, Danforth Scholarship\, New York Foundation for the Arts\, Reed Foundation\, InterAmericas\, Instituto de Cultura Puertorriqueña\, Rutgers\, and PEN. PEN has called Braschi “one of the most revolutionary voices” in Latin American Literature today. Her work is a hybrid of poetry\, fiction\, theater\, and political philosophy. Braschi has published numerous works in Spanish\, Spanglish\, and English\, including El imperio de los sueños (Anthropos\, 1988)\, Yo-Yo Boing! (Latin American Literary Review Press\, 1998) and United States of Banana (AmazonCrossing\, 2011). Her scholarly publications include a book on Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer and essays on Cervantes\, Garcilaso\, Machado\, and García Lorca. Her collected poems were translated into English by Tess O’Dwyer as Empire of Dreams (Yale University Press\, 1994). Her life’s work is the subject of Poets\, Philosophers\, Lovers: on the Writings of Giannina Braschi (Latinx and Latin American Profiles\, Pittsburgh\, 2020)\, a collection of essays edited by Frederick Luis Aldama and Tess O’Dwyer with a foreword by Ilan Stavans. The United States Library of Congress calls her work “cutting-edge\, influential and even revolutionary.” In recent years\, her avant-garde writings have appeared in far-ranging cultural spaces such as television comedy\, chamber music\, art and design\, theater\, and ecologic urbanism. \n \nThe World Beyond Us: A Living Writers Series – Taking advantage of our (hopefully) last virtual Living Writers this Fall\, 2021\, this series will be centered on writers working and living outside the United States\, writers who look beyond the U.S. in their work\, and writers who work in languages other than English. Due to the prohibitive cost of travel and lodging\, many of these writers would have been difficult if not impossible to bring in person. Some writers will read with their translators\, extending the conversation to the art of translation as well. Two of these translators are Literature Department professors and one a Literature Department graduate student\, highlighting the creative translation work being done in our own department. The U.S. publishes very little work in translation\, just 3% of the books published in the U.S. are translations\, compared to other countries (50% of Italy’s books are translations\, for example). Thus\, this series will expose students (as well as faculty and community members) to exciting writers\, writing and translations they very likely are not familiar with. \nThis series will also include one night of California speculative writers\, Claire Vaye Watkins and Cathy Thomas\, who will read and talk about California Futures. This California Futures evening will be sponsored by The Humanities Institute Research Cluster Speculatively Scientific Fictions of the Future.
