His quest for a visa takes him to the tiny, oil-rich nation of Absurdistan, where he finds himself installed as Minister of Multicultural Affairs, and plunged into civil war and political intrigue. This “comedy of errors” is a satiric send-up of American values, at home and abroad! Includes a Russian Passport Lunch featuring pirogis, pelmene, and some delicious Baltic specialties. New York City resident Gary Shteyngart was born in Leningrad and came to the United States when he was seven. His first novel, The Russian Debutante’s Handbook, won the Stephen Crane Award for First Fiction and was named a New York Times Notable Book. Absurdistan is his second novel.

VISIT US ON THE WEB AT WWW.SFINSF.ORG Presented by Tachyon Publications A FREE monthly SF/F author event SF IN SF - Science Fiction. San Francisco. A Perfect Fit. JOHN SHIRLEY DANIEL MARCUS SATURDAY, MAY 17 Lounge and cash bar open at 6:00 PM 7:00 PM readings Each author will read a selection from their work followed by Q&A from the audience, moderated by author Terry Bisson. Authors will schmooze and sign books afterwards in the lounge. Books will be available for sale during event JOHN SHIRLEY "known for astonishingly consistent and rigorously horrifying work, addresses the terrible ease with which we modern Americans have learned to look away from pain and suffering... And while the matter of his stories is often shocking, his manner is calm, restrained, the prose attitude-free and precise, its characteristic sound a minor chord of sorrow and banked anger. His fiction, however, is only sometimes recognizably horror, as Shirley was also one of the primary cyberpunk writers, in company with William Gibson, Bruce Sterling and Rudy Rucker." His "lost cyberpunk novel" Black Glass, is due out in August from ESP books, with the urban fantasy novel Bleak History from Simon & Schuster to follow. John Shirley also wrote several suspense novels including Spider Moon and The Brigade, and won a Bram Stoker Award for his collection Black Butterflies. His best-known science fiction novels are City Come A-Walkin', the Eclipse trilogy, and A Splendid Chaos. DANIEL MARCUS has published around twenty short stories in literary and genre venues, including Witness, Asimovs, Science Fiction, Realms of Fantasy, ZYZZYVA, and F&SF. Most of these stories will be collected in Binding Energy, appearing soon from Elastic Press. A finalist for the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer, his short fiction has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize and placed in the Asimov's Readers' Poll Top 10. His nonfiction has appeared in Wired, the San Francisco Chronicle, on Boing-Boing, and he is a graduate of the Clarion West Writers Workshop. After a spectacularly unsuccessful career attempt as a saxophonist, Daniel earned a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from U.C. Berkeley. Currently a technology executive for a digital multimedia firm, Daniel lives in Berkeley, California, and he has authored more than twenty articles in the applied mathematics and computational physics literature, although the three are not mutually exclusive. Binding Energy is already garnering high praise, such as this from Mike Driscoll at The Fix: "If he deploys the mechanics of SF and fantasy, it is as a mean to explore worlds and mental landscapes defined by disconnectedness and isolation, by degradation and deceit, by love and its absence. This is not to say that these stories are filled with gloom and despair. Quite the contrary, most of them, despite their degraded physical or spiritual terrain, are marked by a sense of hope and possibility." Seating is limited - first come, first seated.

Phil Chambliss: The Arkansas Auteur Phil Chambliss in person! What if Fellini had lived in a trailer in rural Arkansas? His films might look something like the work of Phil Chambliss.

These totally unique and often hilarious films depict life in the Arkansas outback and convey a strong sense of place and authentic regional flavor. The programs features Shadow of the Hatchet Man, about a rampaging killer and an inept sheriff, complete with spaghetti western motifs and lesbian overtones; and surprise shorts. When: 7:30 on Thursday, November 15 and Friday, November 16 Who: Films by Phil Chambliss, who will be attending in person Public Info: 415-978-2787 or www.ybca.org $8 regular; $6 students, seniors, teachers and YBCA Members
