07.24: Wendy C. Ortiz in Conversation with Kevin Sampsell
2014-06-13 21:34:10| Powells Books Events Calendar
Wendy C. Ortiz was a bookish, insecure girl living with alcoholic parents in the late 1980s and early '90s. Her relationship with a charming and deeply flawed private school teacher 15 years her senior appeared to give her the kind of power teenagers wish for. Her teacher — now a registered sex offender — continually encouraged her passion for writing while making her promise she was not leaving any written record about their dangerous sexual relationship. In Excavation: A Memoir (Future Tense Books), a beautifully written and powerful story of a woman reclaiming her whole heart, the black and white of the standard victim/perpetrator stereotype gives way to unsettling grays. Ortiz will be joined in conversation by Kevin Sampsell, Ortiz's editor and publisher of Future Tense Books.

07.07: Kevin J. H. Dettmar in Conversation with Dave Allen
2014-06-13 18:39:14| Powells Books Events Calendar
Following hard on the explosion of British punk, in 1979 Gang of Four produced postpunk's smartest record, Entertainment! For the first time, a band wedded punk's angry energy to funk's propulsive beats — and used that music to put across lyrics that brought a heady mixture of Marxist theory and situationism to exposing the cultural politics of everyday life. Kevin J. H. Dettmar's Gang of Four's Entertainment! (33 1/3) (Bloomsbury) explores the brilliance of this influential album. Dettmar will be joined in conversation by Gang of Four bass guitarist Dave Allen.

06.09: Nathan Deuel in Conversation with Justin Hocking
2014-05-13 20:39:05| Powells Books Events Calendar
In 2008, Nathan Deuel, a former editor at Rolling Stone and the Village Voice, and his wife, a National Public Radio foreign correspondent, moved to the deeply Islamic Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to see for themselves what was happening in the Middle East. At once a meditation on fatherhood, an unusual memoir of a war correspondent's spouse, and a firsthand account from the front lines of historic events, Friday Was the Bomb (Dzanc) is a searing collection of timely and absorbing essays. Deuel will be joined in conversation by Justin Hocking, author of The Great Floodgates of the Wonderworld.
