SUMMARY:Pasadena Playhouse: ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
DESCRIPTION:All Julia Masli wants to do is solve people’s problems and win the Nobel Peace Prize\, but this plan keeps going wrong as she continually wins prizes for comedy. In her wildly unpredictable solo show ha ha ha ha ha ha ha\, the award-winning performer turns the audience’s problems into surreal\, side-splitting theater. No script\, no safety net\, just one woman on a mission to help. After sensational runs in Edinburgh\, Melbourne\, New York\, and D.C.\, Julia is on her way to Pasadena to solve all our problems.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Souvankham Thammavongsa discusses & signs Pick a Color
DESCRIPTION:From Giller Prize and O. Henry Award winner Souvankham Thammavongsa comes a revelatory novel about loneliness\, love\, labor\, and class\, an intimate and sharply written book following a nail salon owner as she toils away for the privileged clients who don’t even know her true name. \n“I live in a world of Susans. I got name tags for everyone who works at this nail salon\, and on every one is printed the name ‘Susan.'” \nNing is a retired boxer\, but to the customers who visit her nail salon\, she is just another worker named Susan. On this summer’s day\, much like any other\, the Susans buff and clip and polish and tweeze. They listen and smile and nod. But beneath this superficial veneer\, Ning is a woman of rigorous intellect and profound complexity. A woman enthralled by the intricacy and rhythms of her work\, but also haunted by memories of paths not taken and opportunities lost. A woman navigating the complex power dynamics among her fellow Susans\, whose greatest fears and desires lie just behind the gossip they exchange. \nAs the day’s work grinds on\, the friction between Ning’s two identities–as anonymous manicurist and brilliant observer of her own circumstances–will gather electric and crackling force\, and at last demand a reckoning with the way the world of privilege looks at a woman like Ning. \nTold over a single day with razor-sharp precision and wit\, Pick a Color confirms Souvankham Thammavongsa’s place as literature’s premier chronicler of the immigrant experience\, in its myriad\, complex\, and slyly subversive forms.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Amber Smith and Sam Gellar discuss & sign Fade Into You
DESCRIPTION:Bird and Jessa don’t have much in common. Bird is an aspiring poet\, still finding herself after a transformative summer away at writing camp. Jessa lives for the discovery of new music\, using it to block out the dysfunction waiting for her at home. They would never have crossed paths if it weren’t for one shared problem: Their two best friends have started dating\, and the relationship is threatening to ruin their senior year. Tired of coming second to their friends’ romance\, the girls come to the only logical conclusion: they have to break their friends up. But the more time Bird and Jessa spend scheming\, the more they start to realize they might have more in common than they thought. Set in the late ’90s in a world full of change as much as possibility\, Jessa and Bird relearn what it means to love themselves and receive love in return\, and to dream for a future they never imagined. \nAbout the Authors: \nAmber Smith is the New York Times\, USA TODAY\, and internationally bestselling author of the young adult novels The Way I Used to Be\, The Last to Let Go\, Something Like Gravity\, and The Way I Am Now. An advocate for increased awareness of gendered violence and LGBTQIA+ equality\, she writes in the hope that her books can help foster change and spark dialogue. She lives in Ithaca\, New York\, with her wife and coauthor\, Sam Gellar\, and their ever-growing family of rescued dogs and cats.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: TICKETED - Kate Baer reads from & signs How About Now: Poems
DESCRIPTION:The third full length poetry collection from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of What Kind of Woman. \nRenowned poet Kate Baer returns with a bold and compassionate collection that confronts the march of time in a shifting world. \nWith her trademark candor and curiosity\, Baer explores what it means to grow older\, to release children into the wildness of their own lives\, and to reclaim the ever evolving self. Raw\, luminous\, and urgent\, this collection channels Baer’s own journey to middle age into poems that are profoundly intimate yet resound universally\, identifying the beauty\, resilience\, and fragility that arrive in every stage of life. \nHow About Now is a striking declaration of ongoing transformation and self-discovery. From the poet who has captured the heartbeat of the modern woman\, this collection reaffirms Kate Baer’s place among the most vital voices of our era.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Harshini Vankineni reads from & signs What Color Is the Baby?: A Celebration of Skin Tones
DESCRIPTION:A debut author takes a familiar loaded question\, steeped in colorism\, and turns it into one child’s openhearted celebration of her new baby sister. \nWhen Kundana meets her newborn sister\, Kuku\, she declares her the prettiest baby in the world. But as grandparents\, aunts\, and uncles welcome Kuku\, all they want to know is what color she is. Is she a marigold like her sister? Or a white jasmine? As the family gazes at Kuku’s brown skin\, big sister Kundana wonders why her family would care what color Kuku is–she’s beautiful! Inspired by first-time author Harshini Vankineni’s own experiences with colorism–the practice of treating people differently because of how dark or light their skin is– What Color Is the Baby? is a moving journey of a big sister finding a new and loving way to describe and defend her adored baby sister\, while Neha Rawat’s warm illustrations delight with coziness and love of family.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jerry D. Moore discusses & signs Cat Tales: A History
DESCRIPTION:Feared\, revered\, respected\, and beloved\, cats have left an indelible paw print on the histories and civilizations of humankind. Over the last two million years\, cats and people have interacted in diverse and unexpected ways\, but the predecessors of today’s furry friends were predators\, not pets. \nLeading anthropologist Jerry Moore charts the cat’s path from deadly enemy to improbable roommate\, making use of the latest archaeological evidence to produce an original and revealing narrative. Starting with the terrifying prehistorical scimitar–tooth cat of the Pliocene age and the lion drawings of the Paleolithic Chauvet caverns\, Moore journeys through our complicated history with these charismatic creatures. He travels along the Nile and across the Mediterranean\, sailing on to South America\, exploring pet cemeteries\, cat mummies\, and exquisite statuary across continents and centuries. \nIllustrated throughout with photographs\, artifacts\, and artworks\, this book surveys our relationships with cats from the Paleolithic period to the present day\, unlocking the mysteries of these remarkable creatures. While cats are now beloved members of families around the world\, our attempts to bring cats in from the cold have not always had happy endings\, as Moore explores through such famous feline fanciers as Joe Exotic\, Siegfried Fischbacher\, and Roy Horn. From incredible archaeological finds to cave paintings\, and from classical statues to contemporary social media\, Cat Tales surveys ancient and modern interactions between humans and cats\, wild and domestic\, to ask a simple question: who domesticated who?

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Brian Schaefer\, in conversation with Marc Malkin\, discusses & signs Town & Country
DESCRIPTION:A “big-hearted and true” (Andrew Sean Greer\, Pulitzer Prize winner) debut novel set in a small rural town amid a congressional race that forces the candidates\, their families\, and a clique of gay second homeowners to confront lies\, betrayals and shifting allegiances. \nThe trendy rural town of Griffin has become a popular destination for weekenders and the city’s second homeowners\, but now a congressional race in this swing district is highlighting tensions between life-long residents and new arrivals. The campaign pits local pub owner and town supervisor Chip Riley against the wealthy young carpetbagger Paul Banks\, challenging the social and political loyalties of their families and friends with lasting repercussions. \nDiane Riley\, Chip’s wife\, is a religiously devout real estate agent who feels conflicted about selling second homes–including to Paul and his much older husband\, Stan. Their elder son\, Joe\, is grieving the recent overdose death of his best friend and spiraling into drugs himself\, while their younger son\, Will\, is a newly out college student seduced by the decadent lifestyle of Paul’s circle. \nMeanwhile\, Stan Banks uses the race to give purpose to the pain of losing a loved one to AIDS\, even as he begins to doubt Paul’s readiness for office. And within their growing fraternity of city transplants\, Eric Larimer finds unexpected connection with a local farmer that opens his eyes to the region’s complexity as Leon Rogers\, still reeling from a divorce\, becomes increasingly desperate to infiltrate the Banks’s exclusive crew. \nSpanning six months from Memorial Day to Election Day\, Town & Country paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of a community in flux. For readers of Fredrick Backman and Jen Beagin\, this “powerful and extremely well-written book” (Colum McCann\, National Book Award winner) asks the essential and timeless questions: What makes a home\, and what do we owe our neighbors?

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Andrew Bernstein discusses & signs Mamba & Mambacita Forever
DESCRIPTION:A beautiful and moving testament to the enduring life of Kobe Bryant and the Mamba Mentality. \nWhen Kobe and Gianna Bryant died\, tragically and unexpectedly\, in 2020\, the world mourned with a wholehearted ferocity. In perhaps the largest and most intense outpouring of public art the world has ever seen\, murals went up on seemingly every available wall in Los Angeles and around the globe. The paintings were both professional and amateur\, some public and some private\, many of them colossal. All of them expressed love and respect for Kobe and Gianna Bryant as athletes\, as a father and daughter\, as heroes who will not be forgotten. \nIn Mamba & Mambacita Forever\, Vanessa Bryant brings together the images and stories of more than a hundred murals honoring her husband and daughter. Taken together\, what emerges is the story of a man who became even more than he himself could have imagined\, an avatar of determination\, discipline\, and competitiveness. He was also a worldwide icon\, one of the greatest athletes of our time\, a man committed to his family and to fatherhood. Kobe was a figure of transformation and hope. \nMamba & Mambacita Forever ensures that the legacy of Kobe and Gianna Bryant will live on even after the most monumental murals themselves have all crumbled.
