SUMMARY:Kim Stanley Robinson\, New York 2140
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz and the Institute for Humanities Research are pleased to welcome New York Times bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson as he returns for a book talk and signing of his bold and brilliant vision of New York City in the next century: New York 2140. \n“In the not-so-distant future\, a diverse cast of characters inherit a New York that has been flooded and overwhelmed as a result of the environmental\, economic\, and social disasters we are facing today. New York 2140 is timely and relevant and more realistic than the sci-fi I typically read. Significantly\, it purposes a future in which ethics and moral reasoning are still being undermined by the status quo. I’d recommend reading it with friends!” – Ashley\, Bookshop Santa Cruz Staff \nRegister for the event: http://www.bookshopsantacruz.com/event/kim-stanley-robinson-new-york-2140 \nAs the sea levels rose\, every street became a canal. Every skyscraper an island. For the residents of one apartment building in Madison Square\, however\, New York in the year 2140 is far from a drowned city. There is the market trader\, who finds opportunities where others find trouble. There is the detective\, whose work will never disappear — along with the lawyers\, of course. There is the internet star\, beloved by millions for her airship adventures\, and the building’s manager\, quietly respected for his attention to detail. Then there are two boys who don’t live there\, but have no other home– and who are more important to its future than anyone might imagine. Lastly there are the coders\, temporary residents on the roof\, whose disappearance triggers a sequence of events that threatens the existence of all– and even the long-hidden foundations on which the city rests. New York 2140 is an extraordinary and unforgettable novel\, from a writer uniquely qualified to the story of its future. \nKim Stanley Robinson is a winner of the Hugo\, Nebula\, and Locus awards. He is the author of nineteen previous books\, including the bestselling Mars trilogy and the critically acclaimed Forty Signs of Rain\, Fifty Degrees Below\, Sixty Days and Counting\, The Years of Rice and Salt\, and Antarctica. In 2008\, he was named a “Hero of the Environment” by Time magazine\, and he recently joined in the Sequoia Parks Foundation’s Artists in the Back Country program. He lives in Davis\, California.\n“A thoroughly enjoyable exercise in worldbuilding\, written with a cleareyed love for the city’s past\, present\, and future.” ―Kirkus \n“The tale is one of adventure\, intrigue\, relationships\, and market forces…. The individual threads weave together into a complex story well worth the read.” ―Booklist\n“Science fiction is threaded everywhere through culture nowadays\, and it would take an act of critical myopia to miss the fact that Robinson is one of the world’s finest working novelists\, in any genre. New York 2140 is a towering novel about a genuinely grave threat to civilisation.” ―Guardian

SUMMARY:Geraldine Brooks: "The Secret Chord"
DESCRIPTION:Now out in paperback from Pulitzer Prize winning\, bestselling author Geraldine Brooks\, The Secret Chord traces the arc of King David’s journey from obscurity to fame\, from shepherd to soldier\, from hero to traitor\, from beloved king to murderous despot and into his remorseful and diminished dotage. The Secret Chord has received critical acclaim; The Chicago Tribune wrote\, “Deeply sympathetic. Brooks offers new perspectives on a character whose story has captured the Western imagination for millennial… she breaks from the biblical version by giving voice to the voiceless women in David’s life: wives and lovers\, a daughter\, a mother—the beloved and the scorned.” The Guardian called it “A compelling read\, contemporary in its relevance… powerful storytelling\, its landscape and time evoked in lyrical prose.” And NPR raves: “The best historical fiction… Brooks gives the whole king his due… It’s a tall order to breathe life into such a human being\, and she manages it admirably.” \nGeraldine Brooks is the author of four novels\, the Pulitzer Prize winning March and the international bestsellers Caleb’s Crossing\, People of the Book\, and Year of Wonders. She has also written the acclaimed nonfiction works Nine Parts of Desire and Foreign Correspondence. Born and raised in Australia\, she lives on Martha’s Vineyard with her husband\, the author Tony Horwitz. \nSponsored by BookShop Santa Cruz\, Institute of Humanities Research\, and Co-sponsored by Temple Bethe El.

SUMMARY:Micah Perks: "What Becomes Us"
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we celebrate the launch of this wonderfully consuming new novel from local author\, professor\, and co-director of UCSC’s creative writing program Micah Perks. Following a near-fatal accident\, Evie\, a mild-mannered\, pregnant school teacher\, abandons her controlling husband and flees California for the wilds of western New York. She rents a farm house on a dead end road in a close-knit community that is divided by local colonial history\, a story that goes deep to the roots of the American conscience—and when she begins teaching at the local high school\, Evie herself becomes obsessed with The Captivity and Restoration of Mary Rowlandson\, the first book written by a woman in the Americas that details Rowlandson’s captivity during King Philip’s War in the seventeenth century. As Mary Rowlandson’s insatiable hunger begins to fill Evie’s dreams\, Evie wonders if she may actually be haunted. At the same time\, Evie’s connections to her new community begin to simmer\, and as she grows more pregnant\, her desires and hunger grow out of control\, threatening to destroy her new world. Ten years in the making\, What Becomes Us will hold you to the last page with its unforgettable cast and story. \n“Micah Perks’ book has everything a reader could hope for — her language is lively\, her characters appealing. Set in a storied landscape\, with themes of independence and community. Romance! History! Food! Plus a tale to tell and some surprising people to tell it. There is real magic here. Micah magic! Completely original\, completely delightful.”  –Karen Joy Fowler\, author of We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves \n“I’ve been obsessed with Mary Rowlandson for 20 years\, and was delighted to find that Micah Perks writes about her with fireworks. This is a warm\, wild\, hilarious\, eccentric and moving book.”  –Lauren Groff\, author of Fates and Furies and Arcadia \nMicah Perks grew up in a log cabin on a commune in the Adirondack wilderness. She is the author of a novel\, We Are Gathered Here\, a memoir\, Pagan Time\, and a long personal essay\, Alone In The Woods: Cheryl Strayed\, My Daughter and Me. Her short stories and essays have won five Pushcart Prize nominations and appeared in Epoch\, Zyzzyva\, Tin House\, The Toast\, OZY and The Rumpus\, amongst many journals and anthologies. Excerpts of What Becomes Us won a National Endowment for the Arts grant and The New Guard Machigonne 2014 Fiction Prize. She received her BA and MFA from Cornell University and now lives with her family in Santa Cruz where she co-directs the creative writing program at UCSC.

SUMMARY:Community Book Group with Karen Tei Yamashita
DESCRIPTION:Dazzling and ambitious\, this hip\, multi-voiced fusion of prose\, playwriting\, graphic art\, and philosophy spins an epic tale of America’s struggle for civil rights as it played out in San Francisco’s Chinatown. Divided into ten novellas\, one for each year\, I Hotel begins in 1968\, when Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated\, students took to the streets\, the Vietnam War raged\, and cities burned. \nAs Karen Yamashita’s motley cast of students\, laborers\, artists\, revolutionaries\, and provocateurs make their way through the history of the day\, they become caught in a riptide of politics and passion\, clashing ideologies and personal turmoil. And by the time the survivors unite to save the International Hotel—epicenter of the Yellow Power Movement—their stories have come to define the very heart of the American experience. \nWe invite you to read  I Hotel\, then come to Bookshop Santa Cruz on January 25th for a community discussion of the book facilitated by Julie Minnis. It will be followed by a dialogue with Karen Yamashita. \nFor more information:\nhttp://news.ucsc.edu/2011/01/yamashita-bookshop-appearance.html \nhttp://www.bookshopsantacruz.com/event/community-book-group-karen-tei-yamashita \nhttp://www.santacruzsentinel.com/education/ci_17008747
