Of Microchips and Men: A Conversation About Intel
2014-07-24 20:15:18| Semiconductors - Topix.net
Before Silicon Valley was known for Google employees whisked to work in private shuttles, startups valued in the billions, and people walking around with optical displays strapped to their faces, it was known simply for silicon-the stuff used to make computer chips.

08.14: Malcolm Brooks in Conversation with Smith Henderson
2014-07-16 01:40:55| Powells Books Events Calendar
In the mid-1950s, America was flush with prosperity and saw an unbroken line of progress clear to the horizon, while the West was still very much wild. Painted Horses (Grove Press), Malcolm Brooks's ambitious, incandescent debut, animates that time and untamed landscape in a tale of the modern and the ancient, of love and fate, and of heritage threatened by progress. Catherine Lemay is a young archaeologist on her way to Montana. Working ahead of a major dam project, she has one summer to prove nothing of historical value will be lost in the flood. From the moment she arrives, nothing is familiar — the vastness of the canyon itself mocks the contained, artifact-rich digs in post-Blitz London where she cut her teeth. Painted Horses sends a dauntless young woman on a heroic quest, sings a love song to the horseman's vanishing way of life, and reminds us that love and ambition, tradition and the future, often make strange bedfellows. Brooks will be joined in conversation by Smith Henderson, author of Fourth of July Creek.

07.20: Lacy Johnson in Conversation with Nick Flynn
2014-06-13 21:34:10| Powells Books Events Calendar
Lacy Johnson bangs on the glass doors of a sleepy local police station in the middle of the night. Her feet are bare; her body is bruised and bloody; U-bolts dangle from her wrists. She has escaped, but not unscathed. The Other Side (Tin House) is the haunting account of a first passionate and then abusive relationship; the events leading to her kidnapping, rape, and imprisonment; her dramatic escape; and her hard-fought struggle to recover. In language both stark and poetic, Johnson's richly personal narrative delivers a raw and unforgettable story of trauma and transformation. Johnson will be joined in conversation by Nick Flynn, author of Another Bullshit Night in Suck City.
