SUMMARY:Carmen Boullosa: The Book of Eve
DESCRIPTION:What if everything they’ve told us about the Garden of Eden was wrong? Faced with what appears to be an apocryphal manuscript containing ten books and 91 chapters\, Eve decides to tell her version of the story of Genesis: she was not created from Adam’s rib\, nor is it correct that she was expelled for taking the apple from the serpent; the story of Abel and Cain isn’t true\, neither are those of the Flood and the Tower of Babel. In brilliant prose\, Mexican author Carmen Boullosa offers a twist on the Book of Genesis that dismantles patriarchy and rebuilds our understanding of the world—from the origin of gastronomy\, to the domestication of animals\, to the cultivation of land and pleasure—all through the feminine gaze. She reads from and discusses her work.

SUMMARY:So Many People\, Mariana: A Happy Hour Reading with Magdalena Edwards
DESCRIPTION:Long discounted by a literary culture that actively rejected women’s writing\, Maria Judite de Carvalho’s biting and bitterly funny work has since exploded across the world. Collecting the entirety of her short works written between 1959 and 1967\, when the Salazar dictatorship and the rigid edicts of the Catholic church reigned\, the stories in So Many People\, Mariana might as well have been written today. These are tough\, unflinching accounts of women trapped by a culture that values them as workers or wives but not as people. And if they do escape their circumstances\, they are\, more often than not\, irrevocably punished by the world. Join Two Lines Press for happy hour cocktails (on them!) and be led into the sensuous dark of life under patriarchal capitalism as writer\, actor\, and translator Magdalena Edwards performs one of Carvalho’s unsparing short stories\, translated into English by Margaret Jull Costa.

SUMMARY:Neon: A Light History
DESCRIPTION:Is it possible that (once again) everything we know is wrong? Well\, in regards to the history of neon\, this may well be the case. Dydia DeLyser and Paul Greenstein have penned a brief\, but concise history of the neon sign beginning at the beginning\, and covering scandals\, murder\, fascists\, and forgotten inventors. A full-color\, lavishly illustrated electrical bodice ripper\, aficionados of neon will find this an indispensable “bible” to the history of their favorite collision of art and commerce. \nRevealing neon signs as active agents in sweeping cultural\, economic\, and political changes nationwide\, DeLyser and Greenstein introduce readers to a compelling cast of characters\, many of whom\, they show\, continue to keep neon vibrant today. Taking readers inside the signs themselves\, the authors show how each sign\, whether historic or contemporary\, is made by skilled hands—today just as they were over one hundred years ago. \nDrawing from over a decade of in-depth archival and ethnographic research as well as more than four decades of experience in the sign industry\, DeLyser and Greenstein use Los Angeles—not New York or Las Vegas—as focal point\, showing how neon signs have catalyzed urban change\, and how they continue to hold appeal for our changing communities—developing with the automobile and car-and-consumer culture in the twentieth century\, expanding from cities to towns\, and along highways to remote roadside outposts. From the earliest luminous tubing in the 1890s to the artistic creations of today\, from community-funded restorations of historic signs to ordinary-seeming business signs that have become community icons\, DeLyser and Greenstein show how\, just as neon signs lit our past\, they can now light our shared future. \nAn in-person presentation by Dydia DeLyser\, author and Associate Professor of Geography at California State University\, Fullerton\, and Paul Greenstein\, author and neon light professional

SUMMARY:Editors Helping Editors
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our “Editors Helping Editors” meeting. Bring your problems\, big and small\, as well as your thinking caps. We’ll work together to solve event-goers quandaries and questions\, which could range from common questions like how to find clients in a particular field (say academic editing) to more situation-specific issues like why a particular macro isn’t working in Word. The only topic that’s off limits is setting rates\, as that can be seen as price-fixing. However\, we can talk about rate-adjacent topics\, such as tools and data we use when setting rates\, what counts as a tax write-off\, and how/when to raise rates. \nThis event is now open to all editors and will not be recorded.

SUMMARY:Editing With Disability/Chronic Illness
DESCRIPTION:This coffee chat centers people who work as editors and are living with disability and/or chronic illness. It is open to everyone. The idea was partly inspired by an active peer group currently hosted by the Society of Authors (https://www.societyofauthors.org/Groups/Authors-Disabilities-Illnesses-Network). \nGroup agreements that will be open for discussion at the start of the chat:\n* Disclosure (of illness/disability/etc.) is welcome. Disclosure is not required.\n* There are no requirements. We participate (or not) in the ways that work for us.\n* We take care of ourselves. Stretch\, eat\, drink\, take a break\, etc.\n* We can’t be articulate all the time. We give each other the benefit of the doubt and ask questions.\n* We keep confidentiality: Learning goes\, stories stay. \nThe online chat this Thursday will have an open agenda\, loosely focused on work-life: How do we define\, handle\, and sustain our work as editors. What kinds of projects are a good fit? How do we obtain enough but not too much work (if that is even possible in editing!)? What have we learned and what can we learn from each other? \nThis event is free to attend and open to all editors.
