KAUI HART HEMMINGS author event

KAUI HART HEMMINGS reading & booksigning for "The Descendants" Monday, June 18 at 7 pm at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco) How to explain "The Descendants" the new novel from San Francisco writer Kaui Hart Hemmings. It’s "The Lovely Bones" - an odd and heartbreaking coming-of-age story - except that it’s much funnier. It’s "Prep," except that in addition to a pitch-perfect portrait of adolescent girls, there’s a mom in a coma and a dad bungling his way through parenthood and total catastrophe. It’s hilarious, it’s tragic, it’s a page-turner, and it may well be the best novel out this summer. Kaui Hart Hemmings grew up in Hawaii. A former Wallace Stegner fellow, she now lives in San Francisco and works at the Writer’s Grotto. Her work has appeared in Zoetrope, Best American Nonrequired Reading, and the L.A Times. She is also the author of "House of Thieves," a collection of short stories. This Booksmith sponsored event will take place at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco). For further information, call 415-863-8688 or visit www.booksmith.com If you can't attend this event and would like to order a signed copy of the author's new book, please email or phone our store.

New Works by Jia Zhang-ke presented by YBCA

When: Useless – June 5 at 7:00 pm; June 8 at 2:00 pm Dong – June 5 at 8:30 pm; June 8 at 3:30 pm What: NEW WORKS BY JIA ZHANG-KE Jia Zhang-ke is perhaps China’s most important contemporary filmmaker, and the leading figure of what is known as the "Sixth Generation." We present his two newest films, both local premieres. USELESS In his haunting and compassionate new film, Jia examines the spiritual life of the Chinese clothing industry—the largest exporter of garments in the world. First an assembly line in Canton, where under the thunderous noise of sewing machines women work silently. Next we meet acclaimed Chinese designer Ma Ke, launching her handmade anti-fashion clothing line in Paris. Finally we spend a dusty afternoon in Fenyang in a tiny tailor’s shop. (2007, 82 min, digital video) DONG A companion piece to his recent film Still Life, in Dong (“east” in Mandarin) Jia beautifully explores the possibilities of documenting life and art. Against the stunning backdrop of the Three Gorges, the film follows one of China’s leading painters, Liu Xiao-dong, as he paints two portraits: one of laborers at the Three Gorges dam and one of young female models in Bangkok. As with much of his other work, Jia examines fantasy, landscape and the underlying realities of ordinary people caught in a whirlwind of rapid change.
