SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Stephen Witt discusses & signs The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang\, Nvidia\, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip
DESCRIPTION:A purchase of the book from Vroman’s is greatly appreciated and makes events like this possible. \n“Stephen Witt’s deep reporting shines through every page of The Thinking Machine. The result is a page-turning biography of perhaps the most consequential CEO and company in the world.” –David Epstein\, New York Times bestselling author of Range \nNvidia is as valuable as Apple and Microsoft. It has shaped the world as we know it. But its story is little known. This is the definitive story of the greatest technology company of our times. \nIn June of 2024\, thirty-one years after its founding in a Denny’s restaurant\, Nvidia became the most valuable corporation on Earth. The Thinking Machine is the astonishing story of how a designer of video game equipment conquered the market for AI hardware\, and in the process re-invented the computer. \nEssential to Nvidia’s meteoric success is its visionary CEO Jensen Huang\, who more than a decade ago\, on the basis of a few promising scientific results\, bet his entire company on AI. Through unprecedented access to Huang\, his friends\, his investors\, and his employees\, Witt documents for the first time the company’s epic rise and its single-minded and ferocious leader\, now one of Silicon Valley’s most influential figures. \nThe Thinking Machine is the story of how Nvidia evolved to supplying hundred-million-dollar supercomputers. It is the story of a determined entrepreneur who defied Wall Street to push his radical vision for computing\, becoming one of the wealthiest men alive. It is the story of a revolution in computer architecture\, and the small group of renegade engineers who made it happen. And it’s the story of our awesome and terrifying AI future\, which Huang has billed as the ‘next industrial revolution\, ‘ as a new kind of microchip unlocks hyper-realistic avatars\, autonomous robots\, self-driving cars\, and new movies\, art\, and books\, generated on command. \nThis is the story of the company that is inventing the future.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jennifer E. Smith discusses Fun For the Whole Family
DESCRIPTION:A breathtaking\, joy-filled novel about the people we love\, the secrets we keep\, and the enduring power of family\, from the bestselling author of The Unsinkable Greta James. \n“A glorious novel of love in all its forms–familial\, romantic\, lost\, and found. Jennifer E. Smith is a ray of literary sunshine.”–Jenny Jackson\, author of Pineapple Street\nThe four Endicott siblings–Gemma\, Connor\, Roddy\, and Jude–were once inseparable\, a bond created by the absence of their dazzling\, mercurial mother\, who would return for a few weeks each summer to whisk them off on sprawling road trips around the country.\nDecades later\, the unthinkable has happened: the Endicotts haven’t spoken in years . . . until an out-of-the-blue text arrives from Jude\, now a famous actress\, summoning them to a small town in North Dakota. They’re each at a crossroads: Gemma\, who put her own ambitions aside to raise the others\, now isn’t sure if she wants to be a mother herself; Connor\, a celebrated novelist\, is floundering after his recent divorce and suffering from an epic case of writer’s block; and Roddy\, at the tail end of a professional soccer career\, is dangerously close to losing his future husband for the chance at one last season.\nJude is the only Endicott who seems to have it all together–but appearances can be deceiving. As the weekend unfolds\, and the siblings wrestle with their shared past and uncertain futures\, they’ll discover that Jude has been keeping three secrets . . . each of which could change everything.\nA captivating journey and an ode to forgiveness that takes readers across all fifty states\, Fun for the Whole Family brims with heart and resonates long after the final page.

SUMMARY:USC PAM: Pushing the Boundaries of Traditional Art Forms: Young Joon Kwak\, Rafa Esparza\, and Jennifer Ling Datchuk
DESCRIPTION:ADMISSION:\nAdmission is free. Reservations required. \nRSVP \nDESCRIPTION:\nIn a wide-ranging conversation moderated by L.A.–based art historian Danielle Shang\, artists Young Joon Kwak\, Rafa Esparza\, and Jennifer Ling Datchuk will share insights into their creative processes and discuss how they push the boundaries of traditional art forms through the innovative use of unique and unusual materials\, as well as the challenges they face in working with unconventional mediums. \nThis event is inspired by the USC Pacific Asia Museum’s newest exhibition\, Cai Guo-Qiang: A Material Odyssey\, which explores the transformative potential of diverse materials in contemporary art. \nBios: \nRafa Esparza was born and raised in Los Angeles and received a BA from UCLA in 2011. Solo and two-person exhibitions have been held at Commonwealth and Council\, Mexico City (2024); Artists Space\, New York (2023); Commonwealth and Council\, Los Angeles (2021); MASS MoCA\, North Adams (2019); ArtPace\, San Antonio (2018); and Ballroom Marfa (2017). Esparza’s work is in the collections of Aïshti Foundation\, Beirut; Dallas Museum of Art; Kadist Art Foundation; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Minneapolis Institute of Art; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles; Museum of Fine Arts\, Houston; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; San Jose Museum of Art; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; Vincent Price Art Museum\, Monterey Park; and Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York. \nBorn in Queens\, NY\, and based in Los Angeles\, Young Joon Kwak received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007\, an MA from the University of Chicago in 2010\, and an MFA from USC in 2014. They are the founder of Mutant Salon\, a queer-transfem-BIPOC collective beauty salon and collaborative art and performance platform. They are also the lead performer of the drag-electronic-dance-noise band Xina Xurner. Their work has been widely exhibited at galleries and museums internationally\, including at the Hammer Museum’s biennial exhibition Made in L.A. 2023: Acts of Living. Their next solo exhibition\, Resistance Pleasure\, opens at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive in August 2024\, with another major exhibition following at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in New York in 2025. \nArtist Jennifer Ling Datchuk was born in Warren\, OH\, and raised in Brooklyn\, NY. Her work is an exploration of her layered identity—as a woman\, a Chinese woman\, as an “American\,” as a third culture kid. Trained in ceramics\, Datchuk works with porcelain and other materials often associated with traditional women’s work\, such as textiles and hair\, to discuss fragility\, beauty\, femininity\, intersectionality\, identity\, and personal history. Her work is in the collection at the Museum of Fine Arts Houston\, San Antonio Museum of Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. She is an assistant professor of ceramics at Arizona State University and lives and maintains a studio practice in Phoenix\, AZ. \nDanielle Shang (moderator) is a Los Angeles–based art historian\, exhibition organizer\, and artistic director at Cc Art Foundation\, where she has shaped the collection and programs to focus on the Global South and Asian diasporas. Her research delves into the impact of globalization\, urban renewal\, social change\, and class restructuring on artmaking and the narrative of art history. Shang has been a guest lecturer and speaker at institutions including the Hammer Museum\, USC\, UCLA\, and Sotheby’s Institute of Art\, as well as institutions in Asia. Her upcoming publications include a monograph on Huma Bhabha and a catalog for Minerva Cuevas\, and future exhibitions include solo shows by Mexican artist Minerva Cuevas\, Indonesian artist Julian Abraham Togar\, and Chinese artist Liu Wei. \nPresented by USC Visions and Voices. Organized by the USC Pacific Asia Museum.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Anna-Marie McLemore discusses & signs The Influencers
DESCRIPTION:A social media influencer’s empire is burned to the ground–literally. The top suspects? The five daughters who made her famous. \n“A witty and razor-sharp whodunit that will leave you both satisfied and challenged . . . A gorgeous\, gloriously scathing story.”–Ashley Herring Blake\, author of Iris Kelly Doesn’t Date \nWhat do you really know about the people you’ve made famous? \n“Mother May I” Iverson has spent the past twenty-five years building a massively successful influencer empire with endearing videos featuring her five mixed-race daughters. But the girls are all grown up now\, and the ramifications of having their entire childhoods commodified start to spill over into public view\, especially in light of the pivotal question: Who killed May’s newlywed husband and then torched her mansion to cover it up? \nApril is a businesswoman feuding with her mother over intellectual property; twins June and July are influencers themselves\, threatening to overtake May’s spotlight; January is a theater tech who steers clear of her mother and the limelight; and the youngest . . . well\, March has somehow completely disappeared. As the days pass post-murder\, everyone has an opinion–the sisters\, May\, a mysterious “friend of the family\,” and the collective voice of the online audience watching the family’s every move–with suspicion flying every direction. \nA campy and escapist exploration of race\, gender\, sexuality\, and class\, The Influencers is an evisceration of influencer culture and how alienating traditional expectations can be\, ripe for the current moment when the first generation of children made famous by their parents are\, now\, all grown up–and looking for retribution.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  19 William Archila reads from & signs his poetry collection S is For\, with special guests Michelle Bitting\, Amaud Jamaul Johnson & Luis J. Rodriguez\, moderated by Douglas Manuel
DESCRIPTION:S is For is an investigation by poet William Archila of the Central American migrant crisis haunted by the past of the civil war in El Salvador\, the meanings of family spirits\, and trees disappearing to urban sprawl–always wielding the voice of the immigrant\, the refugee\, and the ever-present exile as a weapon against invisibility and displacement. Inventive and compassionate\, Archila’s poems navigate the meanings of family spirits\, weeds and wildflowers\, and the irreverence to lay down roots with our dead. The collection expresses the importance of an inner voice from the perspective of exile–people with no country\, no language\, ghosts split between present and past\, between home and foreign. In a variety of forms–quasi-sonnet\, sestina\, ekphrastic\, syllabic\, lyric\, memorial–the poems create a bridge between flaws and fractures\, between the northern region of Central America and the beloved north which is the US. S is for: every letter never uttered\, but evoked.

DESCRIPTION:One spring afternoon after school\, Amber arrives home on her bike. It’s just another perfectly normal day.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Bridget Morrissey discusses Anywhere You Go
DESCRIPTION:A small-town waitress and a big-city Broadway press agent swap homes to escape the messiness of their personal lives\, only to find new purpose–and new love. \nTatum Ward and Eleanor Chapman lead totally opposite lives. Tatum’s never left her Midwestern hometown. She resides in a quaint guest cottage on her parents’ property while working part-time as a waitress\, where she spends most shifts ignoring her feelings for a beautiful regular named June. Eleanor dedicates every waking hour to her high-profile press career\, sacrificing personal relationships for professional success\, save for the occasional hookup to fight off her loneliness. When both women’s lives unexpectedly blow up at the exact same time\, they each need an escape\, and fast. \nIn Tatum’s hometown\, Eleanor expects a quiet hideaway where she can recharge. Instead she gets wrapped up in the family drama that Tatum left town to avoid\, pulled in by Tatum’s charismatic older sibling\, Carson\, who charms Eleanor at every turn. Tatum ends up in Eleanor’s New York high-rise apartment with June. One week together in the big city might make it impossible for Tatum to avoid not just her true feelings for June\, but her real dreams for her life. \nAmid a friendship with a reclusive Hollywood actress and a complicated family reunion\, Tatum and Eleanor each discover much more than they bargained for away from home. Their house swap won’t last forever\, but it might be just long enough for both women to surrender their defenses and finally fight for the life–and love–they deserve.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kobina Commeh reads from & signs Kwesi & Nana Ruby Learn to Swim
DESCRIPTION:“A wonderful story to show how it is possible to overcome our fears of doing something new by accepting help from others” — School Library Journal\, starred review \nKwesi doesn’t know how to swim… and discovers his grandmother doesn’t either! Can they conquer their fear of water together with the help of the West African legend Mami Wata? \n“How about we make a deal?” Nana rubbed Kwesi’s head. “I will learn to swim\, if you do.” \n“Deal!” \nKwesi likes spending time at the lake with his friends\, except there’s one tiny problem… he can’t swim. But guess what? Neither can Nana Ruby! When she comes over for dinner one night\, she tells Kwesi about when she moved from Ghana to the US and the history of segregation that kept her out of pools and caused a fear of water among many Black people. \n“So I will never learn how to swim?” Kwesi asks. But Nana Ruby tells him they will call on the strength of Mami Wata\, the sea creature of West African legend\, to conquer their fears together. This touching intergenerational story teaches the importance of naming\, acknowledging and facing fears.
