SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage: Lecture with Graham Larkin "Lessons from the Daylight Factory"  Swanson & Peterson's Furniture Works
DESCRIPTION:In 1929\, a red brick building with a dramatic expanse of windows was constructed on the eastern edge of Pasadena\, just west of Eaton Wash and south of the Santa Fe railway. Built to the design of McNeal Swasey\, architect of the Hotel Constance and other local landmarks\, this facility served for more than forty years as the Swanson & Peterson workshop and showroom. Swedish émigrés David Swanson and Erik Peterson were makers of fine custom furniture and cabinetry throughout LA County\, and Swasey’s building is a testament to their own high standards of design and fabrication. Modest on the outside\, it opens onto a surprisingly vast and well-lit factory floor\, beneath a sawtooth roof cleverly hidden from the street. This is a highly evolved example of a daylight factory\, complete with passive lighting and ventilation systems — not to mention resistance to fire and vibrations. A prime example of the golden age of sustainable design and a repository of local history\, Swasey’s building has held up for almost a century. A potential project could demolish the building\, but it is one worthy of saving! \nAbout the Speaker\nGraham Larkin is a Pasadena-based historian\, curator\, and advocate for livable streets. After a decade in the US\, studying and teaching art and architectural history (PhD Harvard\, 2003; postdoc Stanford\, 2003-2005)\, he returned to his native Canada. There he worked at various federal agencies\, including six years as Curator of European & American Art at the National Gallery of Canada. An interest in sustainable urbanism led him to found Vision Zero Canada\, advocating for the elimination of traffic harm and the promotion of active mobility. During the pandemic\, he moved back to California\, where he is working as an architectural historian.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Tori Elderidge\, In Conversation wtih Naomi Hirahara\, discusses the Ninja's Oath
DESCRIPTION:International action adventure ensues when Lily Wong–a Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja–travels from Shanghai to Japan to help family friend and former triad enforcer\, Lee Chang\, locate and rescue his kidnapped twelve-year-old niece while\, back home in Los Angeles\, her father’s health wanes. \nTheir mission is aided and complicated by an enigmatic assassin with a discomforting fascination for Lily. When the hunt for the niece leads to another missing relative\, the trio of dangerous heroes–ninja\, triad\, and assassin–are pitted against an even greater foe. Meanwhile\, Chang’s family must be moved from the shikumen house in Old Shanghai before the government tears it down. This would be simpler if not for the feud between brothers and the old resentments and intrigues entwined with the stunning history of the city itself. \nLily is pushed to her limits as she faces potentially insurmountable odds and worries about her father’s undiagnosed disease. At the same time\, she is shocked by the true identity of her ninja teacher–known only Sensei–and the truth behind why he left Japan. The Ninja’s Oath is the thrilling new novel in Tori Eldridge’s acclaimed\, multi-award nominated Lily Wong series\, sure to leave readers breathing and riveted until the last page is turned!

SUMMARY:Vroman's: James Ellroy Discusses The Enchanters
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles\, August 4\, 1962. The city broils through a midsummer heat wave. Marilyn Monroe ODs. A B-movie starlet is kidnapped. The overhyped LAPD overreacts. Chief Bill Parker’s looking for some getback. The Monroe deal looks like a moneymaker. He calls in Freddy Otash. \nThe freewheeling Freddy O: tainted ex-cop\, defrocked private eye\, dope fiend\, and freelance extortionist. A man who lives by the maxim “Opportunity is love.” Freddy gets to work. He dimly perceives Marilyn Monroe’s death and the kidnapped starlet to be a poisonous riddle that only he has the guts and the brains to untangle. We are with him as he tears through all those who block his path to the truth. We are with him as he penetrates the faux-sunshine of Jack and Bobby Kennedy and the shuck of Camelot. We are with him as he falters\, and grasps for love beyond opportunity. We are with him as he tracks Marilyn Monroe’s horrific last charade through a nightmare L.A. that he served to create — and as he confronts his complicity and his own raging madness. \nIt’s the Summer of ’62\, baby. Freddy O’s got a hot date with history. The savage Sixties are ready to pop. It’s just a shot away. \nThe Enchanters is a transcendent work of American popular fiction. It is James Ellroy at his most crazed\, brilliant\, provocative\, profanely hilarious\, and stop-your-heart tender. It is a luminous psychological drama and an unparalleled thrill ride. It is\, resoundingly\, the great American crime novel.

The book was created and edited by Matthew J. Goldberg\, an inspirational humorist from the Philadelphia area\, and designed to spread optimism\, love and kindness via our stories of kindness.

She started out as a pianist\, cartoonist and hippie traveler\, then became an attorney and social justice activist\, dabbling in singing\, guitar playing and zydeco dancing in her spare time.  She represented indigent defendants and immigrants in criminal courts from 1984 to 2022\, when she decided to leave lawyering for a more creative life. She has been writing personal stories for several years and is currently working on a memoir about her travels in the 1970’s. \nBoliang (Michael) Wang is an award-winning student filmmaker and a published author.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Marcie Bianco Discusses Breaking Free
DESCRIPTION:For more than a century\, women have fought for equality. Yet\, time and again\, their battles have fallen short. Even so-called constitutionally-protected equal rights can be withdrawn by judges and undermined by legislators. But the greater problem is in the notion of equality itself. \nIn Breaking Free\, culture writer Marcie Bianco persuasively argues that the very concept of equality is a fallacy\, an illusory goal that cannot address historic forms of discrimination and oppression. Starting with the campaign for women’s suffrage and traveling through modern history\, she shows us how equality has been designed to keep women and disenfranchised communities chasing an unobtainable goal. Conditioned for generations to want equality\, it has become an insidious mindset locking us into the gender binary and reductive identity politics. Bianco calls upon a long-overlooked lineage to argue that only freedom can liberate feminism from these constraints and proposes three freedom practices for women to reclaim their bodily autonomy and power. \nWhat happens if we free ourselves of equality? Controversial and thrilling\, Breaking Free guides readers toward new hope for the future of the feminist movement.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Denene Miller discusses One Blood
DESCRIPTION:Join New York Times bestselling author Denene Millner as she explores the lives of three generations of women tied together by love\, hope\, dreams\, ambition…and family secrets in this epic novel. \nMeet Grace: raised by her beloved grandmother in tension-filled\, post-segregation Virginia\, Grace is barely a teenager when she loses her grandmother. Shellshocked\, she is shipped up North to live with her formidably ambitious Aunt Hattie―a woman who firmly left behind her Southern roots in pursuit of upward mobility. Feeling like a fish out of water in the high society world filled with fancy teas and coveted debutante balls\, Grace’s only place of comfort is with the smart\, handsome son of one of the society’s grand dames. \nMeet Delores: beautiful\, intelligent and fierce\, Delores a.k.a. Lolo has never had it easy. Once she makes it north\, she puts aside her dream of being a model to do what she has to do to survive as a woman with little money and no mooring: get married and have a family of her own. When secrets start to spill out and she and her family slowly begin to unravel\, Lolo is willing to do whatever it takes to keep her dream intact and those she loves together. \nMeet Rae: when Lolo’s headstrong daughter\, Rae discovers that she is adopted\, it’s just one secret among others that her family is keeping. When Rae finds out that she’s about to become a mother herself\, she knows that there is an important reckoning that must be faced about herself and her two mothers. \nPotent\, poetic\, powerful\, told with deep love\, and spanning from the Great Migration to the civil unrest of the 1960s to the quest for women’s equality in early 2000s\, Denene Millner’s beautifully wrought novel explores three women’s intimate\, and often complicated\, struggle with what it truly means to be to be family.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Sara Kuburic discusses It's On Me
DESCRIPTION:So many of us feel lonely\, unfulfilled\, or trapped–in our roles and relationships\, in cycles of self-sabotage and bad decisions\, by our patterns and misguided attempts to feel happy or to feel something. According to existential psychotherapist Sara Kuburic\, it doesn’t have to be so difficult. Really. \nThe answer is found in facing ourselves–whatever version that might be\, regardless of whether we like the person we see reflected back to us. It’s about accepting full responsibility for the choices and actions that create our reality. It’s about finally taking ownership of this person we call our “Self.” It’s about realizing that it’s on us to figure out the two most essential questions: “Who am I” and “Why am I here?” and then to live accordingly. \nIn It’s on Me\, Kuburic unpacks “self-loss\,” giving us new vocabulary to understand this rarely talked about experience and offers tools she’s used for years to help clients recover. Self-loss becomes apparent when we do not recognize ourselves in our actions\, words\, or relationships; when we lose sight of who we truly are\, and feel the pain and emptiness from performing or observing life\, rather than living it. \nRevelatory and empowering\, Kuburic shows how we can stop sleepwalking our way through the lives we don’t want and step into our most vibrant\, authentic\, and meaningful Self. In doing so\, we unlock a deep sense of connection to our innermost being\, and to those around us.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage: Hispanic Architectural Influence in Shaping Pasadena’s Cityscape
DESCRIPTION:Pasadena Heritage commemorates Hispanic Heritage Month with a free program. The early 20th Century saw the birth of the Spanish Colonial Revival style in Southern California. Presenter and Board Member Dave Nufer will examine the many notable Spanish Colonial Revival style buildings in Pasadena including City Hall\, the Central Library\, the Pasadena Playhouse\, and the historic Caltech campus. A study of Pasadena’s recent Hispanic-influenced projects\, such as the Del Mar Station complex and the Paseo\, will be included as well. Join Pasadena Heritage as they trace the thousand-year development of Spanish architecture from its Moorish roots to its revival and prominence in Pasadena! Advanced registration is required so be sure to RSVP on Eventbrite. Admission is free\, but donations are both welcomed and appreciated
