Join us for light pupu, wine, talk story, and author talks from these local authors:
Alan McNarie:
The Soul Keys
Alan McNarie's new novel doesn't just bend the rules: it explodes reality and puts it back together again. The setting is the contemporary United States, but it's an America where white rats pop in and out of dreams, ghosts hitch rides in Winnebago motorhomes, and the Oakland Bay Bridge seriously considers becoming a dragon. Lately, Alan has been a writer/journalist on the Big Island of Hawaii, where he's published hundreds of articles in magazines and newspapers including the Hawaii Tribune Herald, Hana Hou, Ke Ola, Abstract and Honolulu Weekly.

Carol Alena Aronoff: Dreaming Earth's Body

|
Carol Alena Aronoff's poems evoke the spirit of nature as well as the personal inner spirit. She reflects deeply on the nature of everyday experience and the transformative opportunities offered by listening to and acknowledging Gaia. The text is spare and direct, yet lyrical in its perfect descriptive beauty. Betsie Miller-Kusz's stunning paintings are powerful visual evocations of Earth's beneficence and beauty. They form a kind of narrative cycle that reveals itself simultaneously with the text. These powerful symbols of the female spirit inspire the same awe and appreciation for natural life and its healing potential that Aronoff's poems provoke.

The Sympathizer

The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen
The Sympathizer is a sweeping epic of love and betrayal. The narrator, a communist double agent, is a man of two minds, a half-French, half-Vietnamese army captain who arranges to come to America after the Fall of Saigon, and while building a new life with other Vietnamese refugees in Los Angeles is secretly reporting back to his communist superiors in Vietnam. The Sympathizer is a blistering exploration of identity and America, a gripping espionage novel, and a powerful story of love and friendship.
