SUMMARY:Karen Tei Yamashita – Questions 27 & 28
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes acclaimed author Karen Tei Yamashita (I Hotel) to celebrate the launch of her new novel Questions 27 & 28—a masterful polyvocal history of Japanese Americans before\, during\, and after World War II. Yamashita will be in conversation with Alice Yang\, Professor of History and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at UC Santa Cruz. \nIn February 1942\, shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor\, Franklin D. Roosevelt issued an executive order authorizing the secretary of war to remove 120\,000 Japanese Americans from their homes on the West Coast and corral them into inland concentration camps. \n \nQuestions 27 & 28 reaches backward and forward from the time of the questionnaire\, chronicling the individuals who arrived in the US from Japan at the turn of the century\, their children who came of age during war and incarceration\, and their descendants who lived in its aftermath. Yamashita mixes fact with fiction and layers genres from James Bond movies to haiku to oral history\, transfiguring an enormity of archival research into a chorus of stories. With her signature wit and aplomb\, she gives voice to laborers\, artists\, scholars\, informants\, and activists who\, over three generations\, defined an immigrant community. \nKaren Tei Yamashita is the author of nine books\, including I Hotel\, finalist for the National Book Award. Recipient of the National Book Foundation’s 2021 Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters\, she is Professor Emerita of literature and creative writing at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. In 2024 Yamashita was inducted as a Literature Fellow in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. \nAlice Yang is Professor of History and Critical Race and Ethnic Studies at the University of California\, Santa Cruz. She received her Ph.D. in history from Stanford University and currently co-directs the Center for the Study of Pacific War Memories. She specializes in memories of the Pacific War\, Asian American history\, race\, gender\, oral history\, historical memory\, and twentieth-century America. Her publications include Historical Memories of the Japanese American Internment and the Struggle for Redress (2007)\, Major Problems in Asian American History (2003\, 2017) and What Did the Internment of Japanese Americans Mean? (2000). Her exhibit\, Never Again is Now: Japanese American Women Activists and the Legacy of Mass Incarceration\, appeared at UC Santa Cruz\, the Watsonville Public Library and the Japanese American Museum of San Jose. She also has served as chair of the UCSC History Department and provost of Stevenson College at UCSC. \nMore information at: Bookshop Santa Cruz – Karen Tei Yamashita \n\nCo-sponsored by The Humanities Institute at UC Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:Karen Russell - The Antidote
DESCRIPTION:Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes bestselling author Karen Russell (Swamplandia!) for a discussion about her latest novel The Antidote\, which will be available in paperback on the night of the event. “The Antidote blends speculative and fantasy elements with rich language and vivid characters in an effort not to escape reality but to comment even more thoughtfully on it. . . . Russell’s lyrical writing dazzles on every page.” —The New York Times \n \nYour RSVP helps us plan for your arrival and keep in touch with any changes.

She has received MacArthur and Guggenheim Fellowships and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Born and raised in Miami\, Florida\, she now lives in the Bay Area with her husband\, son\, and daughter. The Antidote\, a national bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Award\, is her second novel. \nThis event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute.

He had practiced relentlessly and caromed across the northern California folk and bluegrass scene. He had gathered up some fellow musicians and formed a band. Now they had their name. Following the history of the Grateful Dead means tracking American cultural history through a period of radical reconsideration. The Dead played at the Acid Tests and the Human Be-In and Woodstock\, at the occupation of Columbia and the Bail Ball for People’s Park. They performed at the base of the Pyramids during a lunar eclipse\, at Madison Square Garden to defend the rainforests\, in San Francisco to sound the alarm over AIDS and at Huey Newton’s birthday party. For three decades\, the band explored the meaning and limits of freedom. The radical message of the Dead\, to reject the mainstream and build a bohemian community\, radiated across the world\, manifesting itself in art\, music\, business\, and politics. Here Beside the Rising Tide tells the story of those disparate shafts of light\, putting Garcia into a broader context while tracing his eventful life. Nearly a century after his birth\, Garcia’s influence stretches onward\, expressed in guitar licks and a gentle way of life\, one of excellence and gratitude\, chasing freedom\, living moment to moment\, guided by song-the gift of the Grateful Dead. \nGabi Moskowitz is the founder of BrokeAssGourmet.com\, an award-winning website about inexpensive cooking. She’s written five cookbooks\, and produced Freeform’s Young & Hungry\, a situation comedy based on her life and writing. She lives in Marin County\, California\, with her husband and daughters. \nJim Newton is a journalist\, teacher\, and author of Justice for All\, Eisenhower\, Worthy Fights\, and Man of Tomorrow. He was at the Los Angeles Times for twenty-five years as a reporter\, bureau chief\, editorial page editor\, columnist\, and editor at large. He lives in Pasadena\, California\, and teaches at UCLA\, where he founded and edits the award-winning public affairs magazine Blueprint.
