SUMMARY:VIRTUAL EVENT: Pico Iyer in conversation with Alan Christy
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz invites you to join us for an online event with bestselling author Pico Iyer who will be in-conversation with Alan Christy about his new book\, Autumn Light: Season of Fire and Farewells—a far-reaching exploration of Japanese history and culture and a moving meditation on impermanence\, mortality\, and grief—and A Beginner’s Guide to Japan\, now in paperback. \n \n\nAUTUMN LIGHT: SEASON OF FIRE AND FAREWELLS:\nReturning to his longtime home in Japan after his father-in-law’s sudden death\, Pico Iyer picks up the steadying patterns of his everyday rites: going to the post office and engaging in furious games of ping-pong every evening. But in a country whose calendar is marked with occasions honoring the dead\, he comes to reflect on changelessness in ways that anyone can relate to: parents age\, children scatter\, and Iyer and his wife turn to whatever can sustain them as everything falls away. As the maple leaves begin to turn and the heat begins to soften\, Iyer shows us a Japan we have seldom seen before\, where the transparent and the mysterious are held in a delicate balance\, and where autumn reminds us to take nothing for granted. \nA BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO JAPAN:\n“Arguably the greatest living travel writer” (Outside magazine)\, Pico Iyer has called Japan home for more than three decades. But\, as he is the first to admit\, the country remains an enigma even to its long-term residents. In A Beginner’s Guide to Japan\, Iyer draws on his years of experience—his travels\, conversations\, readings\, and reflections—to craft a playful and profound book of surprising\, brief\, incisive glimpses into Japanese culture. He recounts his adventures and observations as he travels from a meditation hall to a love hotel\, from West Point to Kyoto Station\, and from dinner with Meryl Streep to an ill-fated call to the Apple service center in a series of provocations guaranteed to pique the interest and curiosity of those who don’t know Japan—and to remind those who do of its myriad fascinations. \nPICO IYER is the author of eight works of nonfiction and two novels. A writer for Time since 1982\, he is a frequent contributor to The New York Times\, Harper’s\, The New York Review of Books\, the Los Angeles Times\, the Financial Times\, and many other magazines and newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic and Pacific. He splits his time between Nara\, Japan\, and the United States. \nALAN CHRISTY got his PhD in History at the University of Chicago in 1996. He has been with the History Department at UC Santa Cruz since 1995\, with a two-year stint as a Visiting Associate Professor at the University of Tokyo from 2004-2006. He studies the history of Japan\, especially historical memory\, historical consciousness and the legacies of war and empire. He is the Director of the Okinawa Memories Initiative\, a transnational public history project that explores the postwar Okinawan-American relationship in Okinawa and throughout the Pacific region. He is also the Provost of Cowell College.

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Special Session - The Pandemic and the University to Come - A Collective Action
DESCRIPTION:Following on this quarter’s series of conversations about the historical space opened by the current pandemic\, we will come together in a collective\, active exercise of imagining the university to come. Prior to the meeting\, please respond to five questions (click below) about the future university you would like to participate in post-pandemic; the questions are versions of those from Bruno Latour’s essay discussed in early May. Each of you will suggest one practice you think should cease\, one you think should continue\, and one new practice that you would like to be part of the university of the future\, as well as how to enable the kind of capacities needed to transition to these new activities. We will spend the colloquium working together to see where we agree and where we disagree\, and to come up with something to hope for that might help and even guide us in the time to come. \n \nPlease respond to the questions by 10AM on Wednesday\, June 3. \nPlease also RSVP by 10AM on Wednesday\, June 3 to receive Zoom link and password for the session.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Ottessa Moshfegh: Death in Her Hands
DESCRIPTION:This is an advanced event listing. Please check back for updated information at: https://www.bookshopsantacruz.com/ottessamoshfegh2020 \nThis free event will take place at Bookshop Santa Cruz. Chairs for open seating are usually set up about an hour before the event begins. If you have any ADA accommodation requests\, please email info@bookshopsantacruz.com by May 2nd. \nDeath in Her Hands comes from one of our most ceaselessly provocative literary talents\, a novel of haunting metaphysical suspense about an elderly widow whose life is upturned when she finds a cryptic note on a walk in the woods that ultimately makes her question everything about her new home. \nWhile on her normal daily walk with her dog in the nearby forest woods\, our protagonist comes across a note\, handwritten and carefully pinned to the ground with a frame of stones. Her name was Magda. Nobody will ever know who killed her. It wasn’t me. Here is her dead body. Our narrator is deeply shaken; she has no idea what to make of this. She is new to this area\, having moved here from her longtime home after the death of her husband\, and she knows very few people. And she’s a little shaky even on her best days. Her brooding about this note quickly grows into a full-blown obsession\, and she begins to devote herself to exploring the possibilities of her conjectures about who this woman was and how she met her fate. Her suppositions begin to find echoes in the real world\, and with mounting excitement and dread\, the fog of mystery starts to form into a concrete and menacing shape. But as we follow her in her investigation\, strange dissonances start to accrue\, and our faith in her grip on reality weakens\, until finally\, just as she seems to be facing some of the darkness in her own past with her late husband\, we are forced to face the prospect that there is either a more innocent explanation for all this or a much more sinister one–one that strikes closer to home. \nA triumphant blend of horror\, suspense\, and pitch-black comedy\, Death in Her Hands asks us to consider how the stories we tell ourselves both guide us closer to the truth and keep us at bay from it. Once again\, we are in the hands of a narrator whose unreliability is well earned\, only this time the stakes have never been higher. \nOttessa Moshfegh is the author of My Year of Rest and Relaxation\, a New York Times bestseller; Homesick for Another World\, a New York Times Book Review notable book of the year; Eileen\, which was shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Man Booker Prize\, and won the PEN/Hemingway Award for debut fiction; and McGlue\, which won the Fence Modern Prize in Prose and the Believer Book Award. Her stories have earned her a Pushcart Prize\, an O. Henry Award\, the Plimpton Prize\, and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
