SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage: Historic Preservation: Then & Now
DESCRIPTION:Founded in 1977\, Pasadena Heritage emerged at a pivotal moment for the city. Efforts to revive a struggling local economy brought sweeping redevelopment plans that threatened historic buildings\, neighborhoods\, and the character of the original downtown. In response\, residents organized at the grassroots level\, advocating for a more thoughtful approach and ultimately helping to redefine Pasadena’s future. \nToday\, similar questions around growth\, density\, and identity have reemerged\, carrying even greater urgency. As Pasadena Heritage approaches its 50th anniversary\, this moment offers an opportunity to reflect on how past advocacy shaped the city as it exists today—and what those lessons reveal about the path forward. Preservation extends beyond protecting structures; it centers on continuity\, collective memory\, and ensuring that the stories carried forward reflect the full breadth of the community\, including those historically underrepresented. \nThese themes—what unfolded in the 1970s\, how a new vision took hold\, and what preservation means for Pasadena today—will be explored in a talk led by Executive Director Dr. Bridget Lawlor on Monday\, May 4.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Davin Malasarn discusses & signs The Outer Country
DESCRIPTION:This tender\, elegant debut examines the struggle of holding a family together when secrets threaten to unravel it. \n“Both a book of demons and a book of uncommon grace; an instant classic in the queer canon. Davin Malasarn is an exquisite writer of the heart.”–Justin Torres\, author of Blackouts \nSisters Manda and Siripon have been divided by continents for years\, estranged since their parents decided to send just one of their daughters from Phet Buri to America–the foreign land they call “the Outer Country.” As the eldest\, Manda assumed she would be the first to go. When their parents chose Siripon\, the more obedient second daughter\, the decision sparked a lifetime of rivalry. \nThe birth of Siripon’s son brings the sisters back together. Despite the disorientation of Los Angeles and the difficulty of sharing her sister’s home\, Manda becomes a second mother to Ben\, a precocious only child who fills her with fierce joy. But as Ben grows increasingly effeminate\, her joy transforms to fear. Believing that the spirit of a dead girl has possessed her beloved nephew–and that her sister won’t do anything to fix matters–Manda and Ben’s father\, Kamron\, secretly arranges a Buddhist exorcism. The ceremony sets off a decade of anxiety-induced illness and bullying\, even as the ritual burrows beyond Ben’s memory. \nFor Ben to grow into his authentic self\, he must accept his queerness and confront the scars of his past. He attempts to navigate his family’s tense relationships and live amidst the damage. But how long can they all go on before the truths are uncovered? \nFrom the mangrove forests of Thailand to a modest stucco house in Los Angeles to the sandstone quadrangles of Stanford\, The Outer Country is at once epic and intimate in scope\, a breathtaking journey across cultures and generations.
