SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Jennifer Finney Boylan\, in conversation with Colm Tóibín\, discusses Cleavage
DESCRIPTION:This event is co-sponsored by PEN America.\nWhat is the difference between men and women? Jennifer Finney Boylan\, bestselling author of She’s Not There and co-author of Mad Honey with Jodi Picoult\, examines the divisions—as well as the common ground—between the genders\, and reflects on her own experiences\, both difficult and joyful\, as a transgender American. \nJennifer Finney Boylan’s She’s Not There was the first bestselling work written by a transgender American. Since its publication twenty years ago\, she has become the go-to person for insight into the impact of gender on our lives\, from the food we eat to the dreams we dream\, both for ourselves and for our children. But Cleavage is more than a deep dive into gender identity; it’s also a look at the difference between coming out as trans in 2000—when many people reacted to Boylan’s transition with love—and the present era of blowback and fear. \nHow does gender affect our sense of self? Our body image? The passage of time? The friends we lose—and keep? Boylan considers her womanhood\, reflects on the boys and men who shaped her\, and reconceives of herself as a writer\, activist\, parent\, and spouse. With heart-wrenching honesty\, she illustrates the feeling of liminality that followed her to adulthood\, but demonstrates the redemptive power of love through it all. \nWith Boylan’s trademark humor and poignancy\, Cleavage is a sharp\, witty\, and captivating look at the triumphs and losses of a life lived in two genders. Cleavage provides hope for a future in which we all have the freedom to live joyfully as men\, as women\, and in the space between us.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Rick Jackson and Matthew McGough discuss Black Tunnel White Magic: A Murder\, a Detective’s Obsession\, and ’90s Los Angeles at the Brink
DESCRIPTION:Detective Rick Jackson\, a decorated LAPD detective and a key inspiration in the development of Harry Bosch\, delivers a shocking and immersive look into the one case he could never let go. \nIn June 1990\, Ronald Baker\, a straight-A UCLA student\, was found repeatedly stabbed to death in a tunnel near Spahn Ranch\, where Charles Manson and his followers once lived. Shortly thereafter\, Detective Rick Jackson and his partner\, Frank Garcia\, were assigned the case. Yet the facts made no sense. Who would have a motive to kill Ron Baker in such a grisly manor? Was the proximity to the Manson ranch related to the murder? And what about the pentagram pendant Ron wore around his neck? \nJackson and Garcia soon focused their investigation on Baker’s two male roommates\, one Black\, and one white. What emerges is at once a story of confounding betrayal and cold-hearted intentions\, as well as a larger portrait of an embattled Los Angeles\, a city in the grip of the Satanic Panic and grappling with questions of racial injustice and police brutality in the wake of Rodney King. \nIn straightforward\, matter-of-fact prose\, Rick Jackson\, the now-retired police detective who helped inspire Michael Connelly’s beloved Harry Bosch\, along with co-writer\, Matthew McGough\, take us through the events as he and his partner experienced them\, piecing together the truth with each emerging clue. Black Tunnel White Magic is the true story of a murder in cold blood\, deception and betrayal\, and a city at the brink\, set forth by the only man who could tell it.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Michael Hiltzik discusses Golden State: The Making of California
DESCRIPTION:California has long reigned as the land of plenty\, a place where the sun always shines and opportunity beckons. Even before its statehood in 1850\, it captured the world’s imagination. We think of bearded prospectors lured by the promise of gold; we imagine its early embrace of immigrant labor during the railroad boom asa  prologue to its diverse social fabric today. But what lies underneath the myth is far more complicated. \n  \nThanks to extensive research by Michael Hiltzik\, one of our longstanding voices on California\, Golden State uncovers the unvarnished truth about the state we think we know well. From Spanish incursions into what became known as Alta California to the rise of Big Tech\, the history of California is one of stark contradictions. In rich\, previously overlooked detail\, we see its earliest statesmen wreak havoc among native peoples while racing to draft their own constitution even ahead of statehood. Gold-hungry settlers venture into the Sierra foothills only to leave with little\, while a handful of their suppliers turn themselves into millionaire railroad magnates. Wars erupt in the name of water as Los Angeles booms\, and early efforts to tame the vast landscape create a haven for fossil fuel extraction and environmental conservation alike. Hollywood politicians stoke fear\, contributing to a centuries-long tradition of anti-Asian violence\, and\, remarkably\, legal redlining and free higher education take root together. \n  \nGolden State brings a fresh critical eye to the origins of the state against which the rest of the country measures itself. From its very start\, Hiltzik shows\, that the story of the United States was written in California.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Tim Z. Hernandez discusses They Call You Back
DESCRIPTION:A haunting\, an obsession\, a calling: Tim Z. Hernandez has been searching for people his whole life. Now\, in this highly anticipated memoir\, he takes us along on an investigative odyssey through personal and collective history to uncover the surprising conjunctions that bind our stories together. \nHernandez’s mission to find the families of the twenty-eight Mexicans who were killed in the 1948 plane wreck at Los Gatos Canyon formed the basis for his acclaimed documentary novel All They Will Call You\, which the San Francisco Chronicle dubbed “a stunning piece of investigative journalism\,” and the New York Times hailed as “painstaking detective work by a writer who is the descendant of farmworkers.” \nIn this riveting new work\, Hernandez continues his search for the plane crash victims while also turning the lens on himself and his ancestral past\, revealing the tumultuous and deeply intimate experiences that have fueled his investigations—a lifelong journey haunted by memory\, addiction\, generational trauma\, and the spirit world. \nThey Call You Back is the true chronicle of one man’s obsession to restore dignity to an undignified chapter in America’s past\, while at the same time making a case for why we must heal our personal wounds if we are ever to heal our political ones.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Surekha Davies\, in conversation with Megan Kate Nelson\, discuss Humans: A Monstrous History
DESCRIPTION:A history of how humans have created monsters out of one another—from our deepest fears—and what these monsters tell us about humanity’s present and future. \n Monsters are central to how we think about the human condition. Join award-winning historian of science Dr. Surekha Davies as she reveals how people have defined the human about everything from apes to zombies\, and how they invented race\, gender\, and nations along the way. With rich\, evocative storytelling that braids together ancient gods and generative AI\, Frankenstein’s monster and E.T.\, Humans: A Monstrous History shows how monster-making is about control: it defines who gets to count as normal. \n In an age when corporations increasingly see people as obstacles to profits\, this book traces the long\, volatile history of monster-making and charts a better path for the future. The result is a profound\, effervescent\, empowering retelling of the history of the world for anyone who wants to reverse rising inequality and polarization. This is not a history of monsters\, but a history through monsters.

DESCRIPTION:A tender and vulnerable exploration of love and loss that follows two boys as they take their first trip back to the lake without their father\, from debut author-illustrator Angie Kang. \nToday\, Brother is taking me up to swim in the lake like Father used to. \nI want to thank him for bringing us here\, but I can’t find the words. \nInstead\, I loop my arms around his torso\, and he does the same back. \nHere\, in our lake\, the water holds us close. \nOn a sweltering hot day\, a little boy mirrors his brother as he takes off his shirt\, stretches\, and walks toward the edge of the tall rock\, ready to dive into the cool lake waters glistening below. Only this time\, Father is not here. And the water looks so far away. How can he take the plunge? \nWith a gorgeous\, deft touch in her exquisitely soft illustrations and words\, Angie Kang conveys vulnerability\, longing\, and connection as these two boys hear Father’s laugh and see his memory all around them\, uniting them in a bittersweet moment.

SUMMARY:Vroman's Bookstore: Kim Fay\, in conversation with J. Ryan Stradal\, discusses Kate & Frida: A Novel of Friendship\, Food\, and Books
DESCRIPTION:From the author of instant national bestseller Love & Saffron\, this bright and comforting novel follows the surprising friendship between two young women in 1990s Seattle and Paris\, illuminating the power of books to change our lives. \nSometimes a book can change your life…\nTwentysomething Frida Rodriguez arrives in Paris in 1991\, relishing the city’s butter-soaked cuisine and seeking her future as a war correspondent. But then she writes to a bookshop in Seattle\, and receives more than just the book she requests. A friendship begins that will redefine the person she wants to become. \nSeattle bookseller Kate Fair is transformed by Frida’s free spirit\, spurred to believe in herself as a writer\, to kiss her handsome coworker\, and to find beauty even in loss. Through the most tumultuous years of their young lives—personally and globally—Kate and Frida sustain and nourish each other as they learn the necessity of embracing joy\, especially through our darkest hours. \nThis mouthwatering oasis of a novel is a love letter to bookshops and booksellers\, to the passion we bring to life in our twenties\, and to the last precious years before the internet changed everything.
