Vroman's: Ottessa Moshfegh discusses Lapvona
2023-06-28 19:00 | Vroman’s Bookstore, 695 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, CA, 91101, United States
Little Marek, the abused and delusional son of the village shepherd, believes his mother died giving birth to him. One of Marek’s few consolations is his enduring bond with the blind village midwife, Ina, who suckled him when he was a baby. For some people, Ina’s ability to receive transmissions of sacred knowledge from the natural world is a godsend. For others, Ina’s home in the woods is a godless place.
The people’s desperate need to believe that there are powers that be who have their best interests at heart is put to a cruel test by their depraved lord and governor, especially in this year of record drought and famine. But when fate brings Marek into violent proximity to the lord’s family, new and occult forces arise to upset the old order. By year’s end, the veil between blindness and sight, life and death, and the natural world and the spirit world will prove to be very thin indeed. (Penguin Books)

It’s the end of the world as they know it–or so they think…
When an international warning siren accidentally goes off, convincing everyone that a meteor shower may just be the end of life as they know it, six couples–friends, exes, crushes and rivals–must take shelter. Inhibitions are abandoned, confessions are made and love blossoms, but what happens when the world doesn’t end?
Filled with humor, heat and hope, this riveting collection of interconnected multicultural stories beautifully explores the secrets we carry with us–and the joy we discover when we let go and reach for the stars. (Canary Street Press)

Pasadena, settled by a group of farmers from Indiana in the 1870s, developed initially along the Arroyo Seco. The Pasadena Playhouse Historic District contains approximately 34 buildings, which represent the eastward growth of the City’s urban core during the 1920s and 1930s after Pasadena’s economy had changed from agriculture to tourism. The development of this area was spurred by the construction of Pasadena’s grand and imposing Civic Center in the 1920s, prompting the construction of residential, religious, and cultural facilities in the district. This walking tour includes the Scottish Rite Temple, the United Artist Theater, the Pasadena Playhouse, the Professional Building (Pasadena’s only example of Gothic revival office building architecture), and the Bank of the West building, to name a few.
Tours last approximately 1.5 hours with a walking distance of approximately 1 mile.
