Los Angeles Review of Books

Los Angeles Review of Books is gathering <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/remembering-mike-davis-tickets-620286041247">this May</a> to honor Mike Davis’s legacy—a wide open party to combat isolation and to celebrate his optimism of the spirit. Beginning with walking tours of the radical history of Silverlake, these tours will be led by writers and activists who carry the spirit of Mike Davis. The tours will begin and end at The Black Cat, <span data-slate-fragment="JTdCJTIyb2JqZWN0JTIyJTNBJTIyZG9jdW1lbnQlMjIlMkMlMjJkYXRhJTIyJTNBJTdCJTdEJTJDJTIybm9kZXMlMjIlM0ElNUIlN0IlMjJvYmplY3QlMjIlM0ElMjJibG9jayUyMiUyQyUyMnR5cGUlMjIlM0ElMjJwYXJhZ3JhcGglMjIlMkMlMjJkYXRhJTIyJTNBJTdCJTIyY2xhc3NOYW1lJTIyJTNBbnVsbCU3RCUyQyUyMm5vZGVzJTIyJTNBJTVCJTdCJTIyb2JqZWN0JTIyJTNBJTIydGV4dCUyMiUyQyUyMmxlYXZlcyUyMiUzQSU1QiU3QiUyMm9iamVjdCUyMiUzQSUyMmxlYWYlMjIlMkMlMjJ0ZXh0JTIyJTNBJTIyd2hlcmUlMjBvbmUlMjBvZiUyMHRoZSUyMGZpcnN0JTIwb3JnYW5pemVkJTIwZGVtb25zdHJhdGlvbnMlMjBvZiUyMGdheSUyMHJpZ2h0cyUyMHRvb2slMjBwbGFjZSUyMiUyQyUyMm1hcmtzJTIyJTNBJTVCJTVEJTdEJTVEJTdEJTVEJTdEJTVEJTdE">where one of the first organized demonstrations of gay rights took place, and where we will raise our glasses to remember Mike Davis. We invite activists, students, poets and dreamers to share soapbox toasts to Mike Davis (with or without alcohol). This raucous event will be the beginning of a longer project that continues in the spirit of Mike’s imagination.
Author of City of Quartz, Ecology of Fear, Planet of Slums, and much more, Mike Davis passed away in October 2022. His work was dedicated to exposing the social, political, and economic frictions of the world, and in particular those of Los Angeles. In Set The Night on Fire: L.A. in the Sixties, Davis’s movement history of Los Angeles co-authored with Jon Wiener, there are beautiful chapters about community in the city, about the Watts Renaissance and Wattstax and the free papers and coffeehouses. There are glorious pictures of young activists together—marching, protesting, and hanging out.
In the city that Mike both raged against and loved, we’re having a party in his honor. We want to bring alive his vision of being together, densely, such that we might both live well and protect green spaces outside the city walls.
Davis’s work made a shared history of hope and solidarity visible, even in the face of destruction and suffering. Often, the histories of pirate radio stations, the bike collectives, writing workshops, theater groups, art centers, and poetry readings are handed down only orally. We want to use this moment to launch a repository for representations of radical histories and places, resting on the foundation that Davis laid. In his own words in The Guardian in 2022, that’s where the people’s power lies in Los Angeles:
&#8220;What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.&#8221;
It’s only together that we build the ark.
<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/remembering-mike-davis-tickets-620286041247">RSVP</a> today with details on walking tours to come.
This event is free and open to the public.

“Anand Giridharadas shows the way we get real progressive change in America—by refusing to write others off, building more welcoming movements, and rededicating ourselves to the work of changing minds.” —Robert B. Reich, best-selling author of The System
An insider account of activists, politicians, educators, and everyday citizens working to change minds, bridge divisions, and fight for democracy — from disinformation fighters to a leader of Black Lives Matter to Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and more — by the best-selling author of Winners Take All and award-winning former New York Times columnist Anand Giridharadas. The lifeblood of any free society is persuasion: changing other people’s minds in order to change things. But America is suffering a crisis of faith in persuasion that is putting its democracy and the planet itself at risk. Americans increasingly write one another off instead of seeking to win one another over. Debates are framed in moralistic terms, with enemies battling the righteous. Movements for justice build barriers to entry, instead of on-ramps. Political parties focus on mobilizing the faithful rather than wooing the skeptical. And leaders who seek to forge coalitions are labeled sellouts. In The Persuaders, Anand Giridharadas takes us inside these movements and battles, seeking out the dissenters who continue to champion persuasion in an age of polarization. We meet a leader of Black Lives Matter; a trailblazer in the feminist resistance to Trumpism; white parents at a seminar on raising adopted children of color; Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez; a team of door knockers with an uncanny formula for changing minds on immigration; an ex-cult member turned QAnon deprogrammer; and, hovering menacingly offstage, Russian operatives clandestinely stoking Americans’ fatalism about one another. As the book’s subjects grapple with how to call out threats and injustices while calling on those who don’t agree with them but just might one day, they point a way to healing, and changing, a fracturing country.

Anand Giridharadas is a writer. He is the author of Winners Take All, The True American, India Calling, and now The Persuaders. A former foreign correspondent and columnist for The New York Times for more than a decade, he has also written for The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and Time, and he is the publisher of the newsletter The.Ink. He has spoken on stages around the world and taught narrative journalism at New York University. He is a regular on-air political analyst for MSNBC.

8th Annual LARB/UCR Lifetime Achievement Award Dinner - Los Angeles Review of Books

The Los Angeles Review of Books and University of California, Riverside, honor Percival Everett in intimate ceremony at Tim Disney&#039;s home

/event/8th-annual-larb-ucr-lifetime-achievement-award-dinner/

Please join us for a celebratory evening of cocktails and conversation with LARB&#8217;s Editors-in-Chief about the future of the Los Angeles Review of Books, reading, print, the book review, criticism, Sunset Boulevard, gin, democracy, the L.A. River, and more at the home of LARB Founders Tom Lutz and Laurie Winer.
You, our community members, are the future of LARB. Whether you&#8217;ve been with us since the beginning or you&#8217;re new to our pages, come reminisce and hazard a guess at the road ahead with the eminent writers, teachers, and advocates atop our masthead. Ring in 2023 with LARB.
&nbsp;
6:30pm: Cocktails
7pm: Conversation with Michelle Chihara, Boris Dralyuk, and Tom Lutz and Q&amp;A
&nbsp;
LARB thanks <a href="https://www.futuregin.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Future Gin</a> for generously donating the evening&#8217;s libations. Future Gin is a women- and queer-owned and operated distillery. Its founders created a spirit that represents everything we love about California, from its natural bounty to its forward-thinking. Future combines the structure of a dry gin with the vibrant flavors of Southern California. Meyer lemon, honeysuckle, and grape leaf are distilled alongside traditional botanicals to produce a gin that&#8217;s as classic as a martini and as bright as our future.
Due to inclement weather, this event takes place indoors. For the health and safety of all in attendance, masks are highly encouraged when not actively drinking or snacking. Street parking is available only. Rideshare is encouraged. Tickets must be purchased in advance of arrival.
&nbsp;
Those who contribute at the LARB Benefactor level or above during our year-end fund drive receive complimentary tickets to this event and will be registered automatically. Learn more about how you can support our non-paywalled digital magazine and civic arts programs as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization <a href="http://shop.lareviewofbooks.org/donate" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a>.

The Future of LARB: Cocktails &amp; Conversation with the Editors-in-Chief - Los Angeles Review of Books

Please join us for a celebratory evening of cocktails and conversation with LARB’s Editors-in-Chief about the future of the Los Angeles Review of Books, reading, print, the book review, criticism, Sunset Boulevard, gin, democracy, the L.A.

The blocks around the LARB offices have been on intermittent fire, our phones and refrigerators are sentient — time seems to have collapsed into nothing at all.
Isn’t it uncanny?
Our Fall issue is filled with prose, verse, and visual art that sits with the unease in that question. Now, in person, with music, performance, readings, and poetry, we will grapple with it again.
Come celebrate this issue launch with several of the issue contributors. Post-punk legend Kid Congo Powers will read from his story of coming into his own as a queer kid in 1970s L.A. and will play a solo set. Poet Ronaldo V. Wilson will wonder how to properly render the dead in art through performance. Two-time novelist Anna Dorn will read some uncanny (and unpublished) poetry. Poet and scholar Amanda Gunn will read from her forthcoming collection, Things I Didn&#8217;t Do with This Body. And Kate Durbin will read flash fiction on American Cheeses.
There will be cocktails provided by Greenbar Distillery, snacks by Cash Only Collective, flash tattoos by Salvador de la Torre, and vinyl music DJ&#8217;d throughout the night. Many thanks to <a href="https://theriverla.com/">The River LA</a>, an open-air venue on the LA River in Frogtown, for donating their beautiful space to host us for the evening.
Tickets are $25, with proceeds supporting our nonprofit publication, or free (with code) for all LARB members and LARB Quarterly subscribers. Not a member or subscriber? Buy your ticket today, or buy a print subscription for 10% off and get into the launch, and future launches, for free!
This event will take place in an outdoor, ADA-compliant venue. For the health and safety of all in attendance, COVID-19 vaccinations are required and masks are encouraged.

LARB invites you to our Uncanny Launch Party, celebrating issue no. 35 with readings from Kid Congo Powers, Anna Dorn, Amanda Gunn, and more!

I don’t want to tell you what happened. I want to tell you how it felt.
Cassandra Williams is twelve; her little brother Wayne is seven. One day, when they’re alone together, there is an accident and Wayne is lost forever. His body is never recovered. The missing boy cleaves the family with doubt. Their father leaves, starts another family elsewhere. But their mother can’t give up hope and launches an organization dedicated to missing children.
As C grows older, she sees her brother everywhere: in bistros, airplane aisle s, subways cars. Here is her brother’s older face, the light in his eyes, the way he seems to recognize her, too. But it can’t be, of course. Or can it? Then one day, in another accident, C meets a man both mysterious and familiar, a man who is also searching for someone, and for his own place in the world. His name is Wayne.
Namwali Serpell’s remarkable new novel captures the uncanny experience of grief, the way the past breaks over the present like waves in the sea. The Furrows is a bold exploration of memory and mourning that twists unexpectedly into a story of mistaken identity, double consciousness, and the wishful — and sometimes willful — longing for reunion with those we’ve lost.

Namwali Serpell was born in Lusaka and lives in New York. Her debut novel, The Old Drift, won the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award for fiction, the Arthur C. Clarke Award for science fiction, and the Los Angeles Times’ Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction; it was named one of the 100 Notable Books of 2019 by the New York Times Book Review and one of Time’s 100 Must-Read Books of the Year. Her nonfiction book, Stranger Faces, was a finalist for a National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism. She is currently professor of English at Harvard.&nbsp;Image credit:&nbsp;Peg&nbsp;Skorpinski

Gary Phillips has published various novels, comics, and short stories, in addition to&nbsp;editing&nbsp;several anthologies including the award-winning The Obama Inheritance: Fifteen Stories of Conspiracy Noir and the recently released South Central Noir. Violent Spring, first published in 1994, was named by CrimeReads in 2020 one of the essential crime novels of Los Angeles.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
Washington Post book critic Maureen Corrigan noted that “his latest crime novel, One-Shot Harry, is his 22nd book, and it returns Phillips to his personal and literary origins. ‘Harry’&nbsp;is an edgy time-travel ride back to L.A. in spring 1963, in the waning days of Golden Age L.A., when the Hollywood sign is splintering in the sun and racial tensions are escalating in advance of Martin Luther King Jr.’s upcoming Freedom Rally at the old Wrigley Field.” 
&nbsp; 
Phillips is also a staff writer on FX’s Snowfall (which streams on Hulu), about crack and the CIA in 1980s South Central where he grew up.
Nathan Jefferson is the Noir editor of Los Angeles Review of Books.&nbsp;His short fiction has appeared in the&nbsp;Chicago Review.

Members Salon: South Central Noir - Los Angeles Review of Books

Over the past decade, the Los Angeles Review of Books has celebrated the art of translation and fought for the visibility of its practitioners by reviewing and publishing translations from dozens of the world’s languages in our pages. Throughout 2021, our anniversary year, we threw a monthly spotlight on translated work. This summer, at <a href="https://litlit.org/program" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://litlit.org/program">LITLIT</a> (the Little Literary Fair), we produced a&nbsp;panel on the art of translation, and esteemed translators Magdalena Edwards, Andrew Way Leong, Bruna Dantas Lobato,&nbsp;and Robin Myers shared insights into their methods and projects with an eager audience.
This summer, we honor this legacy and strengthen our commitment. We’re thrilled to launch The Los Angeles Review of Books + Yefe Nof Translation Residency, open to emerging translators of prose from any language who have not yet published a book-length collection of work. The winning translator will have the opportunity to complete and polish their translation of a short story, in consultation with LARB editor-in-chief and longtime literary translator Boris Dralyuk, during a two-week stay at Yefe Nof in Lake Arrowhead, California, from December 2 to December 16, 2022. The resident&#8217;s piece will be published in&nbsp;<a href="https://lareviewofbooks.org/editions/qj/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-cke-saved-href="https://lareviewofbooks.org/editions/qj/">The&nbsp;LARB&nbsp;Quarterly</a>&nbsp;and in LARB online.
The 2022 residency application opens August 15 and closes September 14 at 11:59pm PST. Applications will be reviewed in September and finalists will be contacted in October. The winning translator will be announced in October.
