Her memoir\, The End of San Francisco\, won a Lambda Literary Award\, and her anthology\, Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots?: Flaming Challenges to Masculinity\, Objectification\, and the Desire to Conform\, was an American Library Association Stonewall Honor Book. Her most recent novel\, Sketchtasy\, was one of NPR’s Best Books of 2018. Her new book\, The Freezer Door\, was just longlisted for the PEN/Jean Stein Award\, and is one of Oprah Magazine’s Best LGBTQ Books of 2020. Sycamore lives in Seattle. \nKristen Millares Young is the author of the novel Subduction\, a Paris Review staff pick named a finalist for two International Latino Book Awards. A prize-winning journalist and essayist\, Kristen served as 2018-2020 Prose Writer-in-Residence at Hugo House in Seattle. Her essays\, reviews and investigations appear in the Washington Post\, Literary Hub\, the Guardian\, and the anthologies Latina Outsiders\, Pie & Whiskey\, and Alone Together: Love\, Grief\, and Comfort in the Time of COVID-19. \nElissa Ball is the author of two humor books\, a few zines\, and a collection of poetry (The Punks Are Writing Love Songs\, 2012).

In a happy paradox common to great literature\, it’s a book about not belonging that made me feel deeply less alone. I so admire its appetite to get down and dirty\, to wield non sequitur with grace and power\, to ponder the past while sticking with the present\, to quest unceasingly. I stand deeply inspired and instructed by its great wit\, candor\, inventiveness\, and majesty.”—Maggie Nelson \n“[An] underline-every-sentence compendium of queer desire”—Oprah Magazin \n“The Freezer Door is a story about queerness\, belonging\, loneliness\, desire\, and the utter havoc of capitalism.”—Literary Hub \n  \nPraise for Subduction  \nWith dreamlike\, salt-water-laced prose that feels born of the Salish Sea\, Kristen Millares Young’s Subduction lyrically examines relationships strained and forged by place and belonging. Intelligently addressing womanhood\, community\, lust\, and loss\, this is a novel as deep as it is intoxicating\, as intricate as it is powerful. Like Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping\, Subduction is a novel to be celebrated for both its poetry and wisdom.–-Sharma Shields\, author of The Cassandra \nKristen Millares Young’s Subduction is the powerful debut novel from a writer that comes to us fully formed. This book is as unforgettable as it is timely\, a story that keeps us riveted from beginning to end\, written with abundant grace and lyric intensity. Beautiful\, smart\, and urgent. Read this book now.\n—Robert Lopez\, author of Good People\, Kamby Bolongo Mean River\, Part of the World\, All Back Full\, and Asunder \nKristen Millares Young’s Subduction is a taut\, atmospheric tale that gave me what I hope for in a novel: characters that I can care about\, in a place that seems real\, with stakes that really matter. This is an enormously impressive debut. I’ll eagerly await more from this writer.\n–Steve Yarbrough: PEN/Faulkner finalist\, winner of a Richard Wright Award and a California Book Award. The Unmade World\, The Realm of Last Chances\, The End of California\, Prisoners of War. \n\n\n\n\nEvent date:\n\nSaturday\, January 9\, 2021 – 7:00pm

SUMMARY:Jennifer Risher\, author of WE NEED TO TALK: A MEMOIR ABOUT WEALTH at The London Library!
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, January 20th 2021   1:00 P.M start (EST)/ 6:00 P.M start (GMT) \nFor full details on how to join via Zoom please email:   rsvp@londonlibrary.co.uk \nWe hope you can join us for a very special event hosted by The London Library. Join London Library trustee  Isabelle Dupuy\, in discussion with Jennifer Risher\, a donor and patron through the International Friends of the London Library\, to discuss her memoir ‘We Need to Talk’. \n2020 will go down in history for the Covid-19 pandemic but will also be remembered as the year online technology took over our lives – and provided a lifeline. Companies like Amazon\, Alphabet and Zoom have become essential to our confined lives and have allowed millions of people to keep working\, learning\, and shopping while in lockdown or quarantine. Access to WiFi has become the equivalent to having running water in a home. The pandemic has laid bare the inequalities in our society while exacerbating the differences – we have more food banks and tech millionaires in 2021 than ever before.
