SUMMARY:George Saunders - Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes George Saunders\, recipient of the 2025 National Book Foundation’s Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters\, for a discussion about his wise\, playful\, electric novel Vigil\, which takes place at the bedside of an oil company CEO in the twilight hours of his life as he is ferried from this world into the next. \n \nNot for the first time\, Jill “Doll” Blaine finds herself hurtling toward earth\, reconstituting as she falls\, right down to her favorite black pumps. She plummets towards her newest charge\, yet another soul she must usher into the afterlife\, and lands headfirst in the circular drive of his ornate mansion. She has performed this sacred duty 343 times since her own death. Her charges\, as a rule\, have been greatly comforted in their final moments. But this charge\, she soon discovers\, isn’t like the others: the powerful K. J. Boone will not be consoled\, because he has nothing to regret. He lived a big\, bold life\, and the world is better for it. Isn’t it? \nVigil transports us\, careening\, through the wild final evening of an epic\, complicated life. Crowds of people and animals—worldly and otherworldly\, alive and dead—arrive\, clamoring for a reckoning. Birds swarm the dying man’s room\, a black calf grazes on the love seat\, a man from a distant\, drought-ravaged village materializes\, two oil-business cronies from decades past show up with chilling plans for Boone’s postdeath future. \nGeorge Saunders is the author of thirteen books\, including the novel Lincoln in the Bardo\, which won the Man Booker Prize\, and five collections of stories\, including Tenth of December\, which was a finalist for the National Book Award\, and the recent collection Liberation Day (selected by former President Obama as one of his ten favorite books of 2022). Three of Saunders’s books—Pastoralia\, Tenth of December\, and Lincoln in the Bardo—were chosen for The New York Times’s list of the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century. Saunders hosts the popular Story Club on Substack\, which grew out of his book on the Russian short story\, A Swim in a Pond in the Rain. In 2013\, he was named one of the world’s 100 Most Influential People by Time. He teaches in the creative writing program at Syracuse University. \n\nThis event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute.

What does the heartbreaking fate of the cheetah tell us about the way we raise our children? Why do Ivy League schools care so much about sports?

It’s time we took tipping points seriously. \nMalcolm Gladwell is the author of eight New York Timesbestsellers: The Tipping Point\, Blink\, Outliers\, What the Dog Saw\, David and Goliath\, Talking to Strangers\, The Bomber Mafiaand Revenge of the Tipping Point.

The experience ignited his love of travel and forever broadened his perspective on the world. \nThis book contains edited selections from Rick’s journal and travel photos with a 45-years-later preface and postscript reflecting on how the journey changed his life. Stow away with Rick Steves on the adventure of a lifetime through Turkey\, Iran\, Afghanistan\, Pakistan\, India\, and Nepal. \nYou know Rick Steves. Now discover the adventure that made him the travel writer he is today. \nSince 1973\, Rick Steves has spent about four months a year exploring Europe.

SUMMARY:Bookshop Santa Cruz Presents: Neko Case | THE HARDER I FIGHT THE MORE I LOVE YOU
DESCRIPTION:Beloved Grammy-nominated musician Neko Case will share her new book\, THE HARDER I FIGHT THE MORE I LOVE YOU — a “heartbreaking and funny” memoir of a poverty-stricken childhood\, obsessive desires\, and indispensable friendships that reflects on the way art and music and a deep connection to nature guided her journey towards stardom (Maggie Smith\, NYT bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful). \n \nSinger\, songwriter\, music producer\, visual artist\, and writer Neko Case has built a career with her distinctive style and musical versatility. In addition to her numerous critically-acclaimed and Grammy-nominated solo records\, Case is a founding member of The New Pornographers and has recorded a collaborative album with k.d. lang and Laura Veirs. She currently authors the popular bi-weekly Substack newsletter “Entering the Lung” and is writing the music for a high-profile Broadway production. \nNeko Case has long been revered as one of music’s most influential artists\, whose authenticity\, lyrical storytelling\, and sly wit have endeared her to a legion of critics\, musicians\, and lifelong fans. In THE HARDER I FIGHT THE MORE I LOVE YOU\, Case brings her trademark candor and precision to a memoir that traces her evolution from an invisible girl “raised by two dogs and a space heater” in rural Washington state to her improbable emergence as an internationally-acclaimed talent. \nIn luminous\, sharp-edged prose\, Case shows readers what it’s like to be left alone for hours and hours as a child\, to take refuge in the woods around her home\, and to channel the monotony and loneliness and joy that comes from music\, camaraderie\, and shared experience into art. \nTHE HARDER I FIGHT THE MORE I LOVE YOU is a rebellious meditation on identity and corruption\, and a manifesto on how to make space for ourselves in this world\, despite the obstacles we face. \nMore information at: Bookshop Santa Cruz – Neko Case \nCo-sponsored by Streetlight Records and The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Zakir Hussain: Masters of Percussion at the Rio Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Every other year since 1996\, Zakir Hussain has served as curator\, conductor and producer to bring the very cream of Indian music and world percussion to tour America and Europe with his series\, Zakir Hussain and Masters of Percussion. Growing out of his renowned international tabla duet tours with his father\, the legendary Ustad Allarakha\, Masters of Percussion began as a platform for both popular and rarely heard rhythm traditions from India. While performing and collaborating in India for a few months every year\, Hussain has sought and unearthed lesser-known folk and classical traditions which feed into the greater stream of Indian music\, playing an educational role in affording them greater visibility\, as well as introducing them to audiences in the West. 2023’s tour will also feature Sabir Khan\, Tupac Mantilla\, Melissa Hié\, and Navin Sharma. \nOver time\, the constantly changing ensemble has expanded to include great drummers and percussionists from many world traditions\, including jazz. The 2023 version will be no exception\, presenting American audiences with extraordinary\, exciting and spontaneous combinations of percussive\, as well as melodic\, performances. Past years have included master drummers from Central Asia\, India\, and the U.S. \n \nDoors open at 6:30\, performance begins at 7:30 \nPresented by Kuumbwa Jazz Center. Sponsored by The Center for South Asian Studies and The Humanities Institute at UCSC

SUMMARY:Patti Smith: Songs & Stories\, A Book of Days
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz is thrilled to welcome Patti Smith\, National Book Award-winning author of Just Kids and M Train\, back to town for a celebration of A Book of Days—her deeply moving and idiosyncratic visual book of days featuring more than 365 images and reflections. \n \nTickets include entry to the event and a copy of A Book of Days. \nThis special event will take place at The Rio Theatre\, 1205 Soquel Avenue\, Santa Cruz. \nIn 2018\, without any plan or agenda for what might happen next\, Patti Smith posted her first Instagram photo: her hand with the simple message “Hello Everybody!” Known for shooting with her beloved Land Camera 250\, Smith started posting images from her phone including portraits of her kids\, her radiator\, her boots\, and her Abyssinian cat\, Cairo. Followers felt an immediate affinity with these miniature windows into Smith’s world\, photographs of her daily coffee\, the books she’s reading\, the graves of beloved heroes–William Blake\, Dylan Thomas\, Sylvia Plath\, Simone Weil\, Albert Camus. Over time\, a coherent story of a life devoted to art took shape\, and more than a million followers responded to Smith’s unique aesthetic in images that chart her passions\, devotions\, obsessions\, and whims. Original to this book are vintage photographs: anniversary pearls\, a mother’s keychain\, and a husband’s Mosrite guitar. Here\, too\, are photos from Smith’s archives of life on and off the road\, train stations\, obscure cafés\, a notebook always nearby. In wide-ranging yet intimate daily notations\, Smith shares dispatches from her travels around the world. \nWith over 365 photographs taking you through a single year\, A Book of Days is a new way to experience the expansive mind of the visionary poet\, writer\, and performer. Hopeful\, elegiac\, playful–and complete with an introduction by Smith that explores her documentary process—A Book of Days is a timeless offering for deeply uncertain times\, an inspirational map of an artist’s life. \nPatti Smith is the author of the National Book Award winner Just Kids\, as well as M Train\, Year of the Monkey\, and numerous collections of poetry and essays. Her seminal album Horses has been hailed as one of the top 100 albums of all time. In 2005\, the French Ministry of Culture awarded Smith the title of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres; she was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007\, and was awarded the key to New York City in 2021. \n

SUMMARY:Pamela Z - Concert and Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Pamela Z is a composer\, technologist\, mixed-media and performance artist specializing in real-time synthesis\, voice and vocality\, and the framing of found objects and found texts as opportunities for unexpectedly visceral engagements— engagements with the interiorities and exteriorities of our identities and communities. She will complete a two-part residency at UC Santa Cruz\, engaging with artists\, and then in public dialogue with our music- and media-curious communities on the future of performance and multi-modal creativity. \n  \nMedia and Society is a series of lectures and public conversations on the role of media\, journalism\, popular culture narrative\, and media representation\, in the deployment of power in contemporary society. \n \nEach series lasts a full academic year\, but the fall quarter of the series is also a component of Kresge 1: Power and Representation\, the core course at Kresge College. The series as a whole uniquely serves the UC Santa Cruz community in a vital function of the liberal arts: to cultivate dialogue in the context of public dialogue\, and to guard our freedoms in expressing and debating that knowledge.
