SUMMARY:Julian Brave NoiseCat - We Survived the Night
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes Julian Brave NoiseCat who will share his stunning debut We Survived the Night. Drawing from five years of on-the-ground reporting\, We Survived the Night paints a profound and unforgettable portrait of contemporary Indigenous life\, alongside an intimate and deeply powerful reckoning between a father and a son. Soulful\, formally daring\, indelible work from an important new voice. \nThis event is cosponsored by the American Indian Resource Center and The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. It will take place at the London Nelson Community Center. A student reception will be held at 6:30pm. The first 30 registered student attendees will receive free entry and a copy of We Survived the Night. All other attendees may purchase tickets using the button below. \n \n“Written in gorgeous\, sparse prose\, We Survived the Night reads like a novel. Told with a blistering honesty\, the truth and grit create a beautifully woven coyote story we haven’t heard before. This is a love letter to Oakland\, to the Canim Lake Band Tsq’secen of the Secwepemc Nation\, to a father from his son\, to the act of being a Native person in the twenty first century finding ways to love even through all that wounds have opened and wrought. With this\, Julian Brave NoiseCat has written a book I’ve been waiting my whole life to read.” —Tommy Orange \nA stunning narrative from one of the most powerful young writers at work today—We Survived the Night (Knopf) interweaves oral history with hard-hitting journalism and a deeply personal father-son journey into a searing portrait of Indigenous survival\, love\, and resurgence. \nJulian Brave NoiseCat’s childhood was rich with culture and contradictions. When his Secwépemc and St’at’imc father\, an artist haunted by a turbulent past\, abandoned the family\, he and his non-Native mother were embraced by the urban Native community in Oakland\, California\, as well as by family on the Canim Lake Indian Reserve in British Columbia. In his father’s absence\, NoiseCat immersed himself in Native history and culture to understand the man he seldom saw—his past\, his story\, where he came from—and\, by extension\, himself. \nYears later\, NoiseCat sets out across the continent to correct the erasure\, invisibility\, and misconceptions surrounding the First Peoples of this land\, as he develops his voice as a storyteller and artist in his own right. \nJulian Brave NoiseCat is a writer\, Oscar-nominated filmmaker\, champion powwow dancer\, and student of Salish art and history. His writing has appeared in dozens of publications\, including The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and The New Yorker. NoiseCat has been recognized with numerous awards including the 2022 American Mosaic Journalism Prize and many National Native Media Awards. He was a finalist for the Livingston Award and multiple Canadian National Magazine Awards\, and was named to the TIME100 Next list in 2021. His first documentary\, Sugarcane\, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary. Directed alongside Emily Kassie\, Sugarcane premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival\, where NoiseCat and Kassie won the Directing Award in U.S. Documentary. NoiseCat is a proud member of the Canim Lake Band Tsq̓éscen̓ and descendant of the Líl̓wat Nation of Mount Currie. We Survived the Night is his first book.

SUMMARY:Mary Roach - Replaceable You
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes #1 New York Times bestselling author Mary Roach for a discussion about Replaceable You: Adventures in Human Anatomy. In this irrepressible new work\, Mary Roach explores the remarkable advances and difficult questions prompted by the human body’s failings. When and how does a person decide they’d be better off with a prosthetic than their existing limb? Can a donated heart be made to beat forever? Can an intestine provide a workable substitute for a vagina? \n \nThe body is the most complex machine in the world\, and the only one for which you cannot get a replacement part from the manufacturer. For centuries\, medicine has reached for what’s available–sculpting noses from brass\, borrowing skin from frogs and hearts from pigs\, crafting eye parts from jet canopies and breasts from petroleum by-products. Today we’re attempting to grow body parts from scratch using stem cells and 3D printers. How are we doing? Are we there yet? Irrepressible and accessible\, Replaceable You immerses readers in the wondrous\, improbable\, and surreal quest to build a new you. This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz. \nMary Roach is the author of seven best-selling works of nonfiction\, including Grunt\, Stiff\, and\, most recently\, Fuzz. Her writing has appeared in National Geographic and the New York Times Magazine\, among other publications. She lives in California.
