SUMMARY:The Epicenter: Taleen Voskuni with Jen Siraganian
DESCRIPTION:Litquake’s Epicenter is excited to launch our Spring 2023 season\, with Sorry\, Bro\, the debut novel by Bay Area author Taleen Voskuni. This vibrant and heartfelt queer rom-com\, set amidst the current San Francisco tech community\, follows a young Armenian-American woman as she rediscovers her roots and embraces who she really is. \nWhen Nareh Bedrossian’s non-Armenian boyfriend gets down on one knee and proposes to her in front of a room full of drunken tech boys\, she realizes it’s time to find someone who shares her idea of romance. Her mother\, armed with plenty of mom-guilt and a spreadsheet of Facebook-stalked Armenian men\, convinces Nar to attend “Explore Armenia\,” a month-long series of events in the city. But it’s not the mom-approved playboy doctor or the wealthy engineer who catch Nar’s eye—it’s Erebuni\, a woman as immersed in the witchy arts as she is in preserving Armenian identity. Suddenly\, with Erebuni as her wingwoman\, the events feel like far less of a chore\, and much more of an adventure. Who knew cooking up kuftes together could be so…sexy? Taleen Voskuni appears in conversation with Los Gatos Poet Laureate Jen Siraganian.

SUMMARY:Salon Series 37: Recovering the Forgotten Women of Metal Type Design with Bethany Qualls
DESCRIPTION:Dig into overlooked design history and get a sneak peek at Letterform Archive’s forthcoming research hub on women in metal type.\nEver wonder who originally designed your favorite typefaces? Many of the fonts we use today (such as Futura\, Helvetica\, Baskerville) originated in the metal type era (late 1800s to 1950s) when hot metal typesetting became the norm for printing\, revolutionizing what had been a mostly manual process for centuries. Much of today’s typographic design relies on norms from this period when Linotype and Monotype dominated. Yet\, with few exceptions\, women’s contributions in the metal type era have mostly been erased or ignored. \nFor this Salon\, Bethany Qualls takes us on a deep dive into these often-overlooked women and their contributions to type history. Even though others have researched early women type designers\, no single\, publicly accessible resource exists to synthesize all of what we do know. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at her role as a Mellon Public Scholar in creating Letterform’s forthcoming finding aid and research hub which aims to fill this gap. Highlights will include examples of type specimens from the LA collection\, what’s been left out of most English language resources thus far\, tips on how to research in languages you don’t speak written in alphabets you can’t read\, and the project’s future phases. \n  \nOn-site and online.

SUMMARY:Dancing in Their Light: A Daughter's Unfinished Memoir
DESCRIPTION:A colorful compilation of inspiring and unfathomable stories woven together by humor\, pathos\, confluences of fate\, and the eternal guiding hands of the author’s ancestors. \n \nDebbie Chinn begins this colorful memoir by tracing her roots back to China. Horrors of war\, the Japanese occupation of China\, the brutalities of starvation and poverty\, and the Communist takeover of China in 1949 forced her family to flee their homeland\, becoming immigrants in the United States.

SUMMARY:Crying in H Mart: An Evening with Michelle Zauner and Soleil Ho
DESCRIPTION:Few writers have traced the sensuous connection between food and memory as powerfully as Michelle Zauner has done in her runaway hit memoir\, Crying in H Mart. Legions of readers have kept the book on the bestseller list for more than 60 weeks\, and for good reason. With breathtaking prose\, Zauner delves into the experience of food—our primal nourishment—and her biracial identity as a way of processing the painful loss of her mother. The New York Times calls Zauner’s memoir “an artistic triumph—artfully observed and emotionally rich.” \nZauner\, who is also a phenomenally successful indie musician performing under the band name Japanese Breakfast\, is no stranger to touring\, but the publication of her memoir early in the pandemic meant that she’s made almost no in-person appearances for her book—until now. \nIn celebration of the paperback release of Crying in H Mart\, the Bay Area Book Festival is honored to host Zauner’s only Bay Area book tour appearance this spring. She’ll be in conversation with San Francisco Chronicle restaurant critic Soleil Ho at Oakland’s gorgeous California Ballroom in what promises to be a wide-ranging discussion of love\, loss\, cultural identity\, the art of memoir writing\, and\, of course\, food.

SUMMARY:The Epicenter: Andrey Kurkov with Olga Zilberbourg
DESCRIPTION:Litquake is honored to present Ukraine’s most well-known writer\, Andrey Kurkov\, and his newest release in English\, Diary of an Invasion (Deep Vellum)\, a collection of writings and broadcasts from the frontlines of a horrendous 21st-century war. Throughout the Russian assault\, Kurkov has lived in Kyiv and in the remote countryside\, spending the sleepless nights of continuous bombardment delivering the truth about this atrocity to the world.

His work is frequently compared to Vonnegut\, Kafka\, and Murakami. He appears here in conversation with Russia-born author Olga Zilberbourg\, followed by book sales and signing.

SUMMARY:Salon Series 39: Call and Response: Histories of Designing Protest
DESCRIPTION:Protesters through time have used typography to strike through myriad forms of oppression.

SUMMARY:Interior/Exterior: Chinatown Reflections
DESCRIPTION:Join a discussion with writer Valerie Luu\, photographer Andria Lo\, and poet Hieu Minh Nguyen exploring intergenerational stories and reflections of the culture of Chinatown.  \nLavish in the fun\, colorful\, sartorial images and stories celebrating the residents of Chinatown. \nChinatown Pretty features beautiful portraits and heartwarming stories of trend-setting seniors across six Chinatowns. \nAndria Lo and Valerie Luu have been interviewing and photographing Chinatown’s most fashionable elders on their blog and Instagram\, Chinatown Pretty\, since 2014. Chinatown Pretty is a signature style worn by pòh pohs (grandmas) and gùng gungs (grandpas) everywhere—but it’s also a life philosophy\, mixing resourcefulness\, creativity\, and a knack for finding joy even in difficult circumstances. Photos span Chinatowns in San Francisco\, Oakland\, Los Angeles\, Chicago\, New York City\, and Vancouver. The style is a mix of modern and vintage\, high and low\, handmade and store bought clothing. This is a celebration of Chinese American culture\, active old-age\, and creative style. \nChinatown Pretty shares nuggets of philosophical wisdom and personal stories about immigration and Chinese American culture. This book is great for anyone looking for advice on how to live to a ripe old age with grace and good humor—and\, of course\, on how to stay stylish. \n  \nValerie Luu is a writer and one-half of the Vietnamese pop-up restaurant Rice Paper Scissors. She lives in San Francisco. \nAndria Lo is a freelance photographer whose work has been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle\, the New York Times\, and Wired. She lives in Berkeley.

To earn this title\, Farrow recalled the exact order of 59 decks of shuffled playing cards using “The Farrow Memory Method.” This method was originally invented to combat Farrow’s dyslexia and ADHD and it is now a unique memory system backed by a double-blind neuroscience study from McGill University. Farrow is first and foremost an entrepreneur who mastered the art of marketing to promote his own business. He took his skill in memory and developed several educational products and used publicity as his primary sales tool. His results are impressive. He has been a featured guest expert on over 2000 interviews in the media\, including Dr. Oz\, The Today Show\, Live with Regis and Kelly\, Steve Harvey\, Discovery Channel\, and many others. \nToday\, Farrow uses his keen understanding of the brain in the public relations and media sector. He is the founder of Brainhackers.com and the CEO of Farrow Communications\, a Buffalo-based\, full-service PR and marketing firm known for its unforgettable branding.

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.

SUMMARY:Continental Reckoning: The American West in the Age of Expansion
DESCRIPTION:In Continental Reckoning renowned historian Elliott West presents a sweeping narrative of the American West and its vital role in the transformation of the nation. In the 1840s\, by which time the United States had expanded to the Pacific\, what would become the West was home to numerous vibrant Native cultures and vague claims by other nations. Thirty years later it was organized into states and territories and bound into the nation and world by an infrastructure of rails\, telegraph wires\, and roads and by a racial and ethnic order\, with its Indigenous peoples largely dispossessed and confined to reservations. \nUnprecedented exploration uncovered the West’s extraordinary resources\, beginning with the discovery of gold in California within days of the United States acquiring the territory following the Mexican-American War. As those resources were developed\, often by the most modern methods and through modern corporate enterprise\, half of the contiguous United States was physically transformed. Continental Reckoning guides the reader through the rippling\, multiplying changes wrought in the western half of the country\, arguing that these changes should be given equal billing with the Civil War in this crucial transition of national life. \nAs the West was acquired\, integrated into the nation\, and made over physically and culturally\, the United States shifted onto a course of accelerated economic growth\, a racial reordering and redefinition of citizenship\, engagement with global revolutions of science and technology\, and invigorated involvement with the larger world. The creation of the West and the emergence of modern America were intimately related. Neither can be understood without the other. With masterful prose and a critical eye\, West presents a fresh approach to the dawn of the American West\, one of the most pivotal periods of American history. \nA virtual presentation by Elliot West\, historian and author.

SUMMARY:Libraries of the Barbary Coast\, 1848-1879
DESCRIPTION:an illustrated lecture with librarian Taryn Edwards\n\nSan Francisco since its birth has been a literary town. The thousands of people who came to California during the Gold Rush were voracious readers – eager to catch up on the news of the day and to while away the time between shifts in the gold fields with a good book. While many were as simple as a bookshelf of titles in a boarding house; there was a great need for true libraries to serve the needs of the city’s growing population.
