SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Dave Baker & Nicole Goux discuss & sign Punk'n Heads

She dreamed of becoming a fine art painter\, but after breaking up with her girlfriend\, she suddenly dropped out of art school\, moved into a flophouse\, and gotten roped into singing in a campy horror-punk band. With costumes. To make things even more complicated\, she might be hooking up with her housemate/bandmate/high school crush\, Jerry. Wherever this is leading\, it’s going to be messy. \nCritically acclaimed\, Eisner-nominated creators Nicole Goux ( Forest Hills Bootleg Society\, Pet Peeves) and Dave Baker ( Everyone Is Tulip\, Mary Tyler MooreHawk) join forces for a raucous and revealing new graphic novel about making music\, making mistakes\, facing your past\, and choosing your future. \nAbout the Creators \nDave Baker is a writer and illustrator living in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Rhae Lynn Barnes & David M. Henkin discuss & sign\, Darkology: Blackface and the American Way of Entertainment & Out of the Ballpark: How to Think about Baseball
DESCRIPTION:Never before has the disturbing story of blackface and its piercing reflection of American society been so comprehensively told. With Darkology\, Princeton historian Rhae Lynn Barnes meticulously unravels the complex\, subterranean\, and all-too-often expunged history of “Darkology”–the insidious study\, commodification\, and dehumanization of Black life\, through which performers caricatured the enslaved and formerly enslaved for their supposed subservience and happy demeanor. \n  \nGiven the extraordinary research reflected in Darkology\, it’s not surprising that Barnes spent twenty years tracking down “fading photographs\, old movies\, bureaucratic detritus\, moldy scripts\, and living witnesses\, assembling an impressive archive that allowed her to demonstrate the astonishingly broad reach of blackface minstrelsy” (Laurel Thatcher Ulrich). Painstakingly piecing together these scattered shards of evidence\, Barnes reveals the shocking extent to which blackface took center stage in every era of American history. \n  \nThis was not a fringe activity. By 1830\, as political resistance to slavery grew\, blackface exploded from a niche performance into a venomous national export. Within a decade\, hardly a theater in the country didn’t put on minstrel shows. Following the Civil War\, this grotesque entertainment soared\, seeping from professional theaters into everyday amateur shows\, print\, and advertisements. It was everywhere: Elks Clubs\, religious institutions\, battlefields\, universities\, and schools. It wasn’t just in the Jim Crow era; it defined it. The very name “Jim Crow” derives from minstrelsy’s founding character. \n  \nDarkology dismantles the myth that blackface was a fleeting\, post-Civil War phenomenon. Even in eras known for liberal progressivism\, it flourished. Barnes unearths the startling fact that four-term president Franklin D. Roosevelt was a devotee who died hours before a blackface show he had commissioned at Warm Springs. It permeated U.S. military bases and was even used in World War II Japanese American concentration camps and German POW camps as a bizarre tool of “Americanization.” \n  \nAfter WWII\, the tide began to turn as Black veterans and mothers in places like suburban California protested the practice in schools. Still\, blackface performances proved resilient\, surfacing as late as 1969 at the University of Vermont. Even as the Civil Rights movement fought for equality\, blackface remained present in American politics and white supremacist organizing through the Nixon and Ford administrations\, its legacy still percolating in variable forms today.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage:  The Living Spirit of the Arts & Crafts Movement
DESCRIPTION:Pasadena Heritage presents an exploration of the Arts & Crafts movement through the work of Julie Leidel\, a Roycroft Master Artisan and founder of The Bungalow Craft. This talk considers the movement not only as a historical moment\, but as a living philosophy still unfolding today. Beginning with the legacy of Roycroft and Elbert Hubbard—tracing its ideals\, influence\, and enduring spirit—Leidel reflects on her own path as a Roycroft Artisan within this lineage. \nThe presentation also delves into a quieter dimension of the Arts & Crafts movement: the often-unspoken thread of symbolism and inner resonance found in historical works. Through her own body of work\, Leidel illustrates how these principles continue to evolve\, offering a contemporary harmony within the Arts & Crafts tradition and inviting audiences to experience art not just as something seen\, but something felt and remembered.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Paul Fischer\, in conversation with Drew McWeeny\, discusses & signs The Last Kings of Hollywood
DESCRIPTION:The untold\, intimate story of how three young visionaries–Francis Ford Coppola\, George Lucas\, and Steven Spielberg–revolutionized American cinema\, creating the most iconic films in history while risking everything\, redefining friendship\, and shaping Hollywood as we know it. \nIn the summer of 1967\, as the old Hollywood studio system was dying\, an intense\, uncompromising young film school graduate named George Lucas walked onto the Warner Bros backlot for his first day working as an assistant to another up-and-coming\, largely-unknown filmmaker\, a boisterous father of two called Francis Ford Coppola. At the exact same time\, across town on the Universal Studios lot\, a film-obsessed twenty-year-old from a peripatetic Jewish family\, Steven Spielberg\, longed to break free from his apprenticeship for the struggling studio and become a film director in his own right. \nWithin a year\, the three men would become friends. Spielberg\, prioritizing security\, got his seven-year contract directing television. Lucas and Coppola\, hungry for independence\, left Hollywood for San Francisco to found an alternative studio\, American Zoetrope\, and make films without answering to corporate capitalism. \nBased on extensive research and hundreds of original interviews with the inner circle of these Hollywood icons\, The Last Kings of Hollywood tells the thrilling\, dramatic inside story of how\, over the next fifteen years\, the three filmmakers rivalled and supported each other\, fell out and reconciled\, and struggled to reinvent popular American cinema. Along the way\, Coppola directed The Godfather\, then the highest-grossing film of all-time\, until Spielberg surpassed it with Jaws — whose record Lucas broke with Star Wars\, which Spielberg surpassed again with E.T. By the early 1980s\, they were the richest\, best-known filmmakers in the world\, each with an empire of their own. The Last Kings of Hollywood is an unprecedented chronicle of their rise\, their dreams and demons\, their triumphs and their failures — intimate\, extraordinary\, and supremely entertaining.

SUMMARY:Pasadena Heritage:  The Museum of Me: Learning to Talk About Ourselves for Posterity
DESCRIPTION:Joshua Goode is a Professor of History who has also managed a museum studies program and has worked internationally with museums to contemplate how they tell their stories and to whom.  He will lead an exercise in all of us becoming the Curator and Director of the Museum of Me\, putting on a show about us. \nMuseums generally rely on objects to convey stories\, ideas\, knowledge\, a sense of culture and belonging\, and meaning.  Museums can tell collective stories of a people\, a nation\, a small group\, a family\, a time\, and a place.  Museums are also meant to hold collections and tell their stories in perpetuity\, to stand the test of time.  But they also have to think about the audience.  What do they know? How might they react?  Who is walking in the front door?  Who isn’t visiting?  So\, in this hands-on activity driven evening\, we are going to wear a lot of museum hats to talk about ourselves.  We are going to be curators\, thinking about how we present ourselves through objects.  We are going to be museum directors who want to make sure their audiences are served by the exhibition.  And\, we will be collections managers who want to know what objects are going to be used and make sure they don’t break! \n  \n

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Lisa Lee\, in conversation with Muriel Leung\, discusses & signs American Han
DESCRIPTION:“A pulsating signal from the liminal zone where the American dream meets the American nightmare.” –Viet Thanh Nguyen\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer \nJane and her brother Kevin Kim embody the model minority myth until both depart from the path: Jane drops out of law school without telling her parents\, and her brother Kevin gives up his promising tennis career and cuts himself off from the family. Their parents feel equally lost in a country that claims to support them and yet in which they can find no place. When Kevin goes missing\, no one recognizes his absence as the warning sign it is\, until it erupts in a moment that indicts them all. \nBoth deeply serious and absurdly funny\, AMERICAN HAN is a story about striving and assimilation\, difficult love\, and family fidelity. A searing and probing portrait that challenges assumptions about the immigrant experience\, Lisa Lee’s debut introduces a powerful new voice on the literary landscape. \n“A fantastic sleight-of-hand. Lee makes us look one way while all sorts of stuff comes into focus around us. This is a novel about a singular and eccentric family but yields understanding about so much more. A beautiful\, important novel that will leave a mark.” — Percival Everett\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of James

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore" Amy Coombe discusses & signs Stay for a Spell
DESCRIPTION:A cursed princess must discover what her heart truly longs for in this charmingly cozy romantic fantasy for everyone who’s ever lost – or found – themselves in a bookshop. \nPrincess Tanadelle of the Widdenmar is disillusioned with life as a princess. She longs for real conversation\, the chance to build a life of her own making\, and uninterrupted reading time. \nDuring a routine royal visit to the town of Little Pepperidge\, Tandy’s dream comes true when she finds herself cursed to remain in a run-down bookshop until she unlocks her heart’s desire. Certain that someone will figure out how to break the curse eventually\, and delighted by the prospect of an entire bookstore of her own\, Tandy settles into life among the stacks. She finds it easy to exchange balls and endless state dinners for teetering piles of books and an irritatingly handsome pirate who seems bent on stealing her stock. \nShe even starts to believe she’s stumbled into her very own happily ever after. \nThere’s just one\, minor problem: as Tandy’s royal duties go unfulfilled\, her frantic parents start sending princes to woo her\, each one of them certain their kiss will break the curse. After all\, what more could a princess want but a prince?

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kelly Yang\, in conversation with Lisa Ling\, discusses & signs The Take
DESCRIPTION:A provocative\, fast-paced novel about two creative women—a young writer fighting to be heard and an older producer clinging to relevancy—and the age reversal treatment that intertwines both of their lives…from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the beloved Front Desk series \nWould you sell your youth for $3 million? \nMaggie Wang\, a broke young Asian American writer\, needs a lifeline. Ingrid Parker\, a veteran white Hollywood producer with her career on the edge\, offers an irresistible deal: $3 million for ten experimental medical sessions to reverse her aging\, using Maggie as a transfusion partner\, and mentorship. \nFor Ingrid\, it’s a chance to reboot her fading career. For Maggie\, it’s access and freedom—money to support her parents and the connections to finally get her novel published. \nWhat starts as a professional transaction exchanging blood quickly becomes a complex psychological dance. As Maggie gains unprecedented access to Ingrid’s hard-earned wisdom\, Ingrid sees in Maggie a weapon against an industry that’s been trying to sideline her. \nAs their relationship intensifies\, the rules around aging begin to shift. So does the balance of power between the two women\, leaving both questioning who holds the upper hand and what they’re willing to sacrifice to succeed. \nSharp\, timely\, and utterly compelling\, The Take is perfect for readers of Yellowface and Such a Fun Age—a searing portrait of two women fighting to rewrite their story. \n  \nThis ticketed event is FREE and will take place at Vroman’s Bookstore\, located at 695 E. Colorado Blvd\, Pasadena\, CA 91101. \nThere is a ticket option that includes a book. A purchase of The Take from Vroman’s is greatly appreciated and makes events like this one possible. For this ticket option\, refunds are available until one day before the program. \nA public book signing will follow the conversation. \nRefunds are available until one day before the program.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Nadine Takvorian discusses & signs Armaveni: A Graphic Novel of the Armenian Genocide
DESCRIPTION:A bold\, autobiographical graphic novel chronicling one girl’s quest to uncover her family’s history during the Armenian genocide. \nNadine loves stories and her mother loves to tell them–all but one. Nadine would give anything to learn about her family’s history in Armenia and Turkey–where they came from and how they came to America–but it is just too painful for her parents. All Nadine knows is that they were caught up in the Armenian genocide. \nUntil one day the dam bursts. And through that flood of stories and memories\, and a trip back to their people’s homelands\, Nadine discovers a key to unlocking her own heritage and the courage to speak up when injustice rears its head again. \nTold in interwoven historical\, contemporary\, and fantastical sequences\, Armaveni is a gripping graphic novel debut and a much-needed historical document.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jon Lindstrom discusses & signs Hollywood Payback: A Thriller
DESCRIPTION:A struggling Hollywood actor falls into a life of crime in this highly anticipated second novel from Hollywood Hustle author and four-time Emmy Award nominee Jon Lindstrom. \nTwenty years ago\, Jake Ferguson threw his life away. Once a promising Hollywood actor\, he crashed and burned the usual way: with coke\, booze\, and pills. When that path reached its inevitable end\, he made a desperate choice\, and an innocent woman was killed. Before being convicted and shipped to Folsom Prison\, Jake agreed to testify against his own partners-in-crime as the star witness for the prosecution. \nNow Jake’s reentering society–coming home to an LA he no longer recognizes and to a life that has lost all meaning. Then he meets Carla\, a waitress who understands him better than he expects\, and he begins to believe deliverance may be possible after all. Until one night\, a murder is committed right in front of him\, and Jake knows he’s been set up.
