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:  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:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Jane Smiley discusses & signs Lidie: The Further Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton: A Novel
DESCRIPTION:From the bestselling\, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist\, a rousing novel that follows two young women fleeing a divided America: one running toward a dazzling future and the other running from a troubled past \nChristmas\, 1857. America’s future is precarious; civil war looms on the horizon. After her abolitionist husband is murdered in the lawless Kansas Territory\, Lidie Newton returns\, in mourning\, to her hometown of Quincy\, Illinois. But her sisters have little comfort to offer\, and Lidie is haunted by the memories of her failures–until she takes an interest in her niece\, Annie. Beautiful\, self-assured\, and mischievous\, Annie sticks out in Quincy. She becomes an actress at the local theater\, and when she is offered the opportunity to perform abroad\, she decides to run away. But travel is dangerous for a young unmarried woman\, so Lidie\, armed with her pistol and her wit\, goes with her. \nThe two women embark on a perilous journey across the Atlantic\, rushing toward an unknown future in England. Once they arrive in Liverpool\, they vanish into new roles in the household of Annie’s benefactor\, Mr. Mallory Cunningham. Annie takes a stage name and finds her way to a career\, while Lidie becomes her lady’s maid. But will either of them be content with her new lot in life? \nExuberant and riveting\, a sly commentary on truth and beauty and fulfillment that resonates with our times\, Lidie delivers a panoramic portrait of a volatile era and the headstrong women trying to live an honest life in it.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Maria Semple\, in conversation with Jennette McCurdy\, discusses & signs Go Gentle
DESCRIPTION:“Maria Semple is a treasure.” –Los Angeles Times \nThe New York Times bestselling author of Where’d You Go\, Bernadette returns to form in her most exuberant and life-affirming novel yet with the story of one woman’s cheerful determination to live a life of the mind only to have the heart force its way in. \nAdora Hazzard has it all figured out. A Stoic philosopher and divorcée\, she lives a contented life on New York City’s Upper West Side. Having discovered that the secret to happiness is to desire only what you have\, she’s applied this insight to blissful effect: relishing her teenage daughter\, the freedom of being solo\, and her job as a moral tutor for the twin boys of an old-money family. She’s even assembled a “coven”–like-minded women who live on the same floor in the legendary Ansonia–and is making active efforts to grow its membership. Adora’s carefully curated life is humming along brilliantly until a chance meeting with a handsome stranger. \nSoon\, her ordered world is upended by black-market art deals\, secret rendezvous\, and international intrigue . . . and her past–which she has worked so hard to bury–lands like a bomb in her present. Inflamed by unquenchable desire\, Adora finds herself a woman wanting more: and she’ll risk everything to get it. \nAdora Hazzard’s journey of self-discovery will grip you from the start. Romantic\, hilarious\, intelligent\, and bursting with the stuff of life\, Go Gentle is a thrilling story of one woman’s mid-life transformation\, cementing Maria Semple in the pantheon of our most exciting and important contemporary writers.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Scott Kurashige\, in conversation with Dr. Margo Okazawa-Rey\, discusses & signs American Peril
DESCRIPTION:This probing account shines a new light on the problem of anti-Asian violence and inspires us to build lasting solidarity. \nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic\, racist demagoguery fomented a campaign of terror against Asian Americans. But these attacks were part of a much longer pattern that made anti-Asian racism integral to the outbreak of white supremacist\, misogynist\, and colonial violence across 175 years of U.S. history. Written in the radical spirit of Howard Zinn\, American Peril represents the culmination of thirty-five years of study and activism by award-winning scholar Scott Kurashige. \nFrom the lynching of Asian immigrants during the exclusion era to the U.S. military’s slaughter of Asian civilians\, the book connects domestic and global events that have been erased from the official record. Going beyond victimhood\, it traces the rise of Asian American community protest and activism in response to the 1982 murder of Vincent Chin and other overlooked tragedies. While many have worked to legislate and prosecute hate crimes\, Kurashige argues that hope lies in grassroots activism for multiracial solidarity.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Jordan Harper\, in conversation with S.A. Cosby\, discusses & signs A Violent Masterpiece
DESCRIPTION:The next epic crime novel from Jordan Harper\, a story of Los Angeles power brokers and those at the edge\, and a single shattering incident that threatens to bring it all crashing down. \nLos Angeles\, right now. America with its back up against the wall. This Frankenstein’s monster of crimes and lurid dreams sewn together into something like a city. \nA city ready to explode: A Hollywood pedophile is arrested\, and is ready to tear down the city to get his freedom. A young woman goes missing — and men in black rubber gloves who look like cops clean out her apartment in the middle of the night. And the serial killer known as the LA Ripper is on the loose\, leaving tragic/graphic/brutal crime scenes in his wake. Three people trying to keep their heads above the dirty water will find themselves coming together to unite these strands into one enormous\, unspeakable crime … \nJake Deal is a gonzo live-streaming nightcrawler\, beaming the city’s chaos straight to his audience of blood-hungry subscribers\, giving them the view from the top of the mushroom cloud — until a job he can’t refuse drags him back into his old life of Hollywood glamour\, drugs\, sex and sleaze. Armed with cameras and hidden mics\, he’ll infiltrate private clubs\, gather high-class dirt — and stumble onto a conspiracy woven into the center of LA’s most powerful men\, who call themselves “The Kids in the Candy Store.” \nDoug Gibson is a street lawyer\, who fights for his clients against the army of cops\, prosecutors and judges – he is the knife they bring to the gunfight. But when he’s hired by a Hollywood pedophile ready to sell out his friends for a chance for freedom\, he’ll take on a fight bigger than he could have imagined. And when his client “commits suicide” in prison\, Gibson will have to stop being a weapon – and become a warrior. \nKara Delgado works for an underground private concierge company – a make-a-wish foundation for the terminally rich. She scores drugs\, makes connections\, and plans multi-million dollar sex parties.She has learned the secret truth of this world: there are no rules\, only prices. Her best friend Phoebe has gone missing\, and Kara’s the only person who knows that Phoebe’s place was wiped clean of evidence by men in black rubber gloves. But when she begins to unravel the mystery of what happened to Phoebe\, and its connection to the killer known as the LA Ripper\, it will drag her into the dark heart of the city. \nAs Jake\, Doug and Kara all investigate these crimes\, they’ll encounter ketamine-addled sitcom stars\, bloody riots\, homeless gangsters\, a killer cop on death row\, secret vaults in Beverly Hills\, tech-bro orgies\, medical cannibals\, true crime junkies\, private security wet-work teams\, reality shows\, street takeovers\, car chases\, coyotes\, a sadistic Tarzan\, and a three day\, fifty million dollar wedding\, before everything is revealed and they must each make their choice about how to fight back in this violent world before the bloody\, blazing conclusion.\n \nThis is a ticketed program and will take place at Vroman’s Bookstore\, located at 695 E. Colorado Blvd\, Pasadena\, CA 91101. \nYour Eventbrite ticket will include a copy of A Violent Masterpiece\, to be handed out at check-in on the night of the program.
