SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - David Daley discusses & signs Antidemocratic: Inside the Far Right's 50-Year Plot to Control American Elections
DESCRIPTION:“David Daley has been at the absolute forefront of educating us about the theft of our elections by radical Republicans determined to subvert everyone else’s power to choose their own leaders. An absolute warrior for democracy.” — Rick Perlstein\, New York Times bestselling author of Nixonland and Reaganland \nIn 1981\, a young lawyer\, fresh out of Harvard law school\, joined the Reagan administration’s Department of Justice\, taking up a cause that had been fomenting in Republican circles for over a decade by that point. From his perch inside the Reagan DOJ\, this lawyer would attempt to bring down one of the defining pieces of 20th century legislation–the Voting Rights Act. His name was John Roberts. \nOver thirty years later in 2013\, these efforts by John Roberts and the conservative legal establishment culminated when Roberts\, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court\, wrote Shelby County vs. Holder\, one of the most consequential decisions of modern jurisprudence. A dramatic move that gutted the Voting Rights Act\, Roberts’s decision–dangerously premised on the flawed notion that racism was a thing of the past–emboldened right-wing\, antidemocratic voting laws around the country immediately. No modern court decision has done more to hand elections to Republicans than Shelby. \nNow lauded investigative reporter David Daley reveals the urgent story of this fifty-year Republican plot to end the Voting Rights Act and encourage minority rule in their party’s favor. From the bowels of Reagan’s DOJ to the walls of the conservative Federalist Society to the moneyed Republican resources bankrolling restrictive voting laws today\, Daley reveals a hidden history as sweeping as it is troubling. Through careful research and exhaustive reporting\, he connects Shelby to a well-funded\, highly-coordinated right-wing effort to erode the power of minority voters and Democrats at the ballot box–an effort that has grown stronger with each election cycle. In the process Roberts and his conservative allies have enabled extreme partisan gerrymandering to become the law of the land\, while fringe conservative theories about our elections infiltrate the foundations of our democracy.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Tori Atencio McCullough\, Kelsey McCullough\, & Bobbie Lucas\, discuss & sign Xavier X Atencio: The Legacy of an Artist\, Imagineer\, and Disney Legend
DESCRIPTION:From apprentice animator on Pinocchio to the lyricist behind “Yo Ho\, Yo Ho A Pirates Life for Me\,” Xavier “X” Atencio’s Disney career was diverse and spectacular. \nNow for the first time his talent\, humor\, and creativity come to life in a book celebrating the body of work and the legacy of one of Walt’s original and most versatile Imagineers. \nXavier “X” Atencio: The Legacy of An Artist\, Imagineer\, and Disney Legend depicts the life\, art\, and lasting legacy of X\, detailing how he put himself into his work and used his talents\, passion\, humor\, and creativity to inspire generations. It is the most comprehensive look to date at the one of Walt’s original and most versatile Imagineers. \nFeaturing previously unpublished artwork and photographs from X’s personal collection\, this book grants readers the unique opportunity to discover the true depths of influence X attained on his life journey. For while it was rare to become a Disney Imagineer\, it was even rarer to end a career at Disney with as diversified a resume as X’s–from “small-town Colorado boy” to art school attendee\, Disney animator\, attraction scriptwriter\, lyricist\, voice-over artist\, and finally Disney Legend. \nSet against the historic and cultural evolutions of The Walt Disney Company\, Xavier “X” Atencio: The Legacy of An Artist\, Imagineer\, and Disney Legend provides a deeply personal perspective into the life and career of a Disney Legend whose story\, until now\, had remained largely untold.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Caroline L. Perry & Sydney Hanson read from & sign I Am Not Happy!
DESCRIPTION:In the vein of Grumpy Monkey and Unicorns Are the Worst!\, this hilarious picture book introduces the adorable quokka\, who–despite his ever-present smile–is definitely not as happy as he looks! \nWith its bright eyes\, puffy cheeks\, and beaming smile\, the quokka is clearly the happiest animal on earth. Or is it? This quokka is here to tell you…he is not happy! At least not all the time. Just like everyone else\, he can be sulky\, or sorry\, or sad; but you’d never know from the look on his face! So\, what’s a moody marsupial to do when he’s being misunderstood? Teach every other animal from kangaroos to koalas not to judge a critter by its cover!

SUMMARY:Tepito Coffee + Vroman’s Bookstore Present: Rings of Dissent: Boxing and Performances of Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Tepito Coffee + Vroman’s Bookstore Present: Rings of Dissent: Boxing and Performances of Rebellion\, a special conversation moderated by Mike de la Rocha\, featuring Rudy Mondragón\, Gaye Theresa Johnson & Priscilla Leiva\n\nImage\n \n\nProfessional boxers practice their trade within an ostensibly apolitical arena. In reality\, however\, the fighters work inside a capitalistic and neoliberal sports culture that they both challenge and uphold. This collection delves into professional boxing’s capacity for brilliance\, contradiction\, resistance\, and complicity. Scholars\, activists\, and artists explore the boxing ring as a site for understanding original and diverse ideas about the performance of race\, citizenship\, gender\, power\, and dissent. Essays and interviews draw attention to the cultural politics and performances of marginalized boxers while revealing the structures of power and practices of agency at work around Black\, Brown\, and queer bodies. As the contributors establish boxing’s central place in communities of color\, they open exciting new avenues for studying race\, immigration\, gender\, and capital. Multifaceted and innovative\, Rings of Dissent uncovers fascinating corners of the boxing world as it illuminates what the sport tells us about America.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore:  Eli Frankel discusses & signs Sisters in Death: The Black Dahlia\, the Prairie Heiress\, and Their Hunter
DESCRIPTION:Who killed the Black Dahlia? In this eye-opening shocker\, an award-winning producer\, true-crime researcher\, and Hollywood insider finally solves the greatest – and most gruesome – murder mystery of the twentieth century just before its 80th anniversary. \nIn January 1947\, the bisected body of Elizabeth Short\, completely drained of blood\, was discovered in an undeveloped lot in Los Angeles. Its gruesome mutilations led to a firestorm of publicity\, city-wide panic\, and an unprecedented number of investigative paths led by the LAPD–all dead ends. The Black Dahlia murder remained an unsolved mystery for over seventy years. \nSix years earlier and sixteen hundred miles away\, another woman’s life had ended in a similarly horrific manner. Leila Welsh was an ambitious\, educated\, popular\, and socially connected beauty. Though raised modestly on a prairie farm\, she was heiress to her Kansas City family’s status and wealth. On a winter morning in 1941\, Leila’s butchered body was found in her bedroom bearing the marks of unspeakable trauma. \nOne victim faded into obscurity. The other became notorious. Both had in common a killer whose sadistic mind was a labyrinth of dark secrets. \nEli Frankel reveals for the first time a key fact about the Black Dahlia crime scene\, never before shared with the public\, that leads inexorably to the stunning identification of a criminal who was at the same time amateurish and fiendish\, skilled and lucky\, sophisticated and brutish. Drawing on newly discovered documents\, law enforcement files\, interviews with the last surviving participants\, the victims’ own letters\, trial transcripts\, military records\, and more\, this epic true-crime saga puts together the missing pieces of a legendary puzzle. \nIn Sisters in Death\, the Black Dahlia cold case is finally closed.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Yaron Weitzman discusses & signs A Hollywood Ending: The Dreams and Drama of the Lebron Lakers
DESCRIPTION:NBA journalist Yaron Weitzman lays out the high stakes drama happening inside the Lakers’ organization at a crucial juncture in their history\, as they try to juggle the warring priorities between Lebron James and the Buss family. \nWhen LeBron James signed with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018\, the match looked like one made in heaven. Here was a living legend\, the preeminent athlete of his generation\, joining forces with one of the most iconic teams in all of sports. The Lakers\, in the midst of their worst stretch in franchise history and reeling from the death of their legendary owner Dr. Jerry Buss\, needed a savior. LeBron\, fresh off ending Cleveland’s 50-year title drought\, needed a new challenge to help further burnish his legacy. The script wrote itself. \nA little over two years later\, LeBron and Dr. Buss’ daughter\, Jeanie\, were standing shoulder to shoulder\, hoisting the NBA finals trophy into the air. Having won their record-tying 17th NBA title\, the Lakers had reclaimed their accustomed perch on top of the basketball world and seemed destined to dominate the NBA for years to come. \nTraditionally\, the Lakers’ didn’t celebrate championships\, they celebrated dynasties. But this was a different Lakers’ organization\, one beset by infighting. A single title wouldn’t be enough to cement Lebron James status as a Lakers’ legend or help him surpass the ghost of Michael Jordan. Both parties needed sustained success\, but for that to happen they needed to be on the same page. Sadly\, the 2020 title would represent the pinnacle of their pairing\, and the beginning of a precipitous decline. \nDrawing from over 250 interviews\, Yaron Weitzman takes readers on a riveting\, behind the scenes journey of this fraught partnership. From the Succession-like power struggle between the Buss children\, to the rise of LeBron’s landscape-altering talent agency and its attempts to assert its own power within the Lakers’ walls\, to the evolution of LeBron’s priorities and political voice\, “A Hollywood Ending” is the definitive story of an American icon’s final years on stage\, one portraying him\, a fabled NBA franchise\, and the world of modern professional sports in a light never seen before.

SUMMARY:Boston Court: The Night of the Iguana
DESCRIPTION:Tennessee Williams’s rarely staged The Night of the Iguana tells the story of the Reverend T. Lawrence Shannon\, a defrocked minister now conducting guided tours through Mexico on the verge of a nervous breakdown. As he struggles with his connection to God and yearns to escape his own tortured existence\, he is surrounded by two equally imperfect women\, one of whom offers him sensuality\, the other spirituality as a means of easing his tormented soul. Taking place over the course of one turbulent night at the Costa Verde hotel on the verge of a world war\, the play asks what constitutes escape\, what bargains are we willing to make with ourselves\, and how much we yearn for real human connection – especially when we’re at the end of our rope.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Judith Orloff reads from & signs The Highly Sensitive Rabbit
DESCRIPTION:High in the Sonoran Desert\, where crickets chirp and cactus grow\, lives a tiny cottontail rabbit named Aurora. Aurora is very sensitive to the beauties of nature and to the feelings of everyone around her. She likes to spend time alone\, and she worries a lot. Aurora’s brothers and sister tell her she is “too sensitive” and often leave her out of their rough-and-tumble play. \nWhen a flash flood destroys her family’s burrow\, Aurora must learn to face her sensitive nature head-on. She meets a spiny lizard\, spotted skunk\, cactus wren\, and javelina\, all of whom have lessons to teach her about kindness and self-care.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Barbara Roberts discusses & signs The Metamorphosis of Bunny Baxter
DESCRIPTION:Bunny Baxter thinks nothing could be worse than starting seventh grade at a school where she knows no one. But after her first day\, she realizes things can actually get much worse. \nIf Bunny Baxter were an insect\, she’d have so many ways to slip through seventh grade unnoticed. But she’s tall instead of tiny\, has flaming red Medusa hair instead of camouflage\, and she suffers from social anxiety\, which makes it hard to be part of a swarm. Worst of all\, she’s been redistricted to a new middle school away from her best friend who she could always hide behind when her anxiety got the best of her. \nThe first day at E.D. Britt Middle School does not go well. Bunny trips on the steps\, falls into the cutest boy in the school\, and causes a kid domino pile-up. At lunch\, she unintentionally causes an uproar in the cafeteria\, which lands her and another girl in the principal’s office.  Bunny decides there is only one option: to get expelled so she can transfer to the school her best friend attends. \nShe soon discovers that it isn’t that hard to get in trouble—don’t turn in your homework\, walk around the track instead of run in P.E.\, pretend you deliberately hit someone with a badminton birdie. What isn’t so easy for Bunny is realizing she now has a reputation as a troublemaker. And even more confusing\, when it looks like her plan to get expelled might work\, she’s no longer sure what to do. \nThe Metamorphosis of Bunny Baxter is a heartfelt coming of age story about an insect-loving girl who is learning to grow into herself—quirks and all.

But\, Pepe and his class soon discover that this harmless fib takes on a life of its own– literally– growing into a giant\, uncontrollable monster that threatens to eat the entire school.\nAs chaos ensues\, Pepe learns a valuable lesson: even the smallest fib can spiral out of control\, but the truth holds the power to set things right.

SUMMARY:Vroman Bookstore: Tom Lutz\, in conversation with John Powers\, discusses & signs 1925: A Literary Encyclopedia
DESCRIPTION:The year 1925 was arguably the peak of literature’s centrality. There were more magazines\, more journals\, more reviews\, more book news\, and more book gossip than ever before or since. Literature’s rivals for cultural attention were on the rise—film was becoming a more significant part of people’s media diet\, radio was just taking off\, television technologies were advancing—but literature was still king. Even mediocre books got dozens of reviews\, and the reviews were (most often) thoughtful and intellectually engaged. The belief that literary writing was an essential and consequential business was nearly universal. Modernist ferment continued to excite discussion while the pulp revolution in genre fiction—detective stories\, science fiction\, Westerns\, romance—was booming. These popular books\, even if sometimes condescended to\, were also given thoughtful review attention. \nThis encyclopedia was written as we approached the 100th anniversary of the annus mirabilis. In what follows\, we can see the seeds of virtually every aspect of our cultural life\, from art\, literature\, theater\, and music to physics\, philosophy\, social science\, and political discourse. The fear of environmental degradation\, the corruption in our politics\, the competing claims of utopianism and dystopia\, the bitterly divided views on science\, mass media\, art\, nature\, justice\, generations\, community\, freedom\, sexuality\, race\, immigration—all can be seen in their budding or full-blown gore and glory in 1925. We have come far and not very far at all.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: How to Write a Book: A Conversation with Jade Chang & Ann Friedman
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the launch of Jade Chang’s new novel\, What a Time to Be Alive\, Jade and frequent collaborator Ann Friedman discuss one of their favorite topics… How to Write a Book! Together\, Jade Chang and Ann Friedman (Big Friendship) are The Midwives of Invention (www.midwivesofinvention.com). They lead popular idea development workshops and retreats\, and on 10/8 they will talk about the unexpected overlaps between writing fiction and non-fiction\, their own writing processes\, and their current projects. \nA little more about What a Time to Be Alive: \n“What a Time to Be Alive is a sly\, sexy work of art. Jade Chang has captured the true essence of Los Angeles\, in all of its motley\, messy beauty\, with humor and heart. This is a novel that you will devour\, and share with your friends\, and soon want to devour again.” — Angela Flournoy\, author of The Wilderness and The Turner House \nA deeply moving and often hilarious novel following a woman who becomes an internet folk hero in the most unexpected way\, catapulting her into fame and influence just as she’s finally beginning to reckon with her complicated past \nLola Treasure Gold can’t figure out her life. She’s broke\, unemployed\, and back in her childhood home\, a crumbling cottage in the Hollywood Hills. Worse—unspeakably worse—one of her closest friends has just died. So nobody is more surprised than Lola when a jackpot falls in her lap: she stars in a Very Viral Video\, opening a surprising path for her to become a self-help guru. \nWith the encouragement of her other best friend\, Celi—still alive\, thank god—Lola embraces the public interest in her perceived message. But is she a scammer or a sage? Just as Lola is telling others to be their own guiding lights\, she can’t seem to find hers: she’s grieving; she’s accused of using the notoriety of her friend’s death to fuel her rise; and she’s full of questions about the fate of her mother\, who came to America pregnant\, fleeing China’s one-child policy\, got deported when Lola was eight\, and now has totally disappeared. \nDriven by an exuberant\, searching spirit\, Jade Chang’s kaleidoscopic new novel is a deep examination of the ways we commodify belief\, the power and precarity of fame\, and the delicious terror of being truly seen. What a Time to Be Alive asks if we can look honestly at the world and still love it; the answer is a brilliant\, resounding yes.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Joss Richard\, in conversation with Elissa Sussman\, discusses & signs It’s Different This Time
DESCRIPTION:In this sweeping\, second-chance romance\, a twist of fate forces two former roommates back into their beloved New York City brownstone where they must confront the events that led to their estrangement–and the unresolved feelings lingering between them. \nReeling from the cancellation of her hit TV show\, June Wood has nothing left to lose when a mysterious email lures her back to the New York City brownstone she once called home before she moved to Los Angeles. Thanks to a clause in the former owner’s will\, she and her old roommate\, Adam Harper\, now own the multimillion-dollar property–or at least they will in a month\, once all the paperwork is signed. \nFour weeks\, then June can return to her life in LA and forget about New York City and everything she left behind. Sure\, the fact that June and Adam are estranged and haven’t even spoken in five years\, and that their friendship didn’t exactly end on good terms might complicate matters\, but this is an opportunity of a lifetime. \nAs the autumn leaves fall around them\, through shared meals and late-night conversations\, old wounds and long-buried sparks resurface\, and it becomes strikingly clear: June and Adam have unfinished business. Confronted with the consequences of their choices years before\, they must now navigate the minefield of their past the best way they know how: together. Second chances are always a risk\, but maybe\, if they get it right and are finally honest with each other and with themselves\, it could be different this time.
