SUMMARY:Spying on America: A Book Launch with Bill Gaston
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a warm and funny evening with Bill Gaston\, author of the new “fascinating road trip” book\, Spying on America. Will Ferguson describes it as “a journey through the looking glass into that torqued version of Canada we call the United States.” \nOn a June morning in 2022\, Bill Gaston drives off the Victoria–Port Angeles ferry in a rented Dodge Charger with his two sons. Born in the U.S. but “Canadian through and through\,” Gaston is on a road trip to Tabor\, Iowa\, the town founded by his great\, great\, great-grandparents as the westernmost hub of the Underground Railroad. \nThe Gastons’ 11-day trip to Tabor and back takes them up and down and across a swathe of rural red states. Motivated equally by a curiosity to find out what really makes Americans tick and the motto ya gotta stop\, the Gastons explore the American west\, navigate unmapped dirt roads\, eat too many French fries\, overnight in clapped-out motels\, visit a Buddhist mountain monastery\, marvel at spectacular landforms\, and enjoy unlikely conversations with real Americans. \nBoth a sideways glance at contemporary American culture and a mordant yet tender account of the true meaning of ancestry\, Spying on America is an unpredictably insightful exploration of family\, Canada’s neighbour\, and the “American bald ego.” \nThis event is free\, but please register here as capacity is limited. Books will be on hand for sale and signing!

SUMMARY:Pauline Holdstock and Richard Kelly Kemick: Launch Party!
DESCRIPTION:Join Upstart & Crow for a night of readings and conversation with Pauline Holdstock\, author of WHAT ENDURES\, and Richard Kelly Kemick\, author of DECADENCE. \nThe stories in WHAT ENDURES range through and respond to a clickbait world evolving at terrifying speed\, revealing the absurd and ridiculous nature of everyday life. What does it mean to endure in a world starving for truth and connection\, what makes life worth living\, what can be discovered and preserved from the onrush of experience—vicarious and actual—that comes at us? \nIn DECADENCE\, Richard Kelly Kemick’s “accidental memoir of a sort\,” the author ranges widely through his myriad preoccupations and obsessions—volleyball\, municipal landfills\, dogs\, high school plays\, Christmas villages\, love—out of which the shape of a unique sensibility is revealed. Reminiscent of the three Davids—Rakoff\, Sedaris\, and Wallace—these essays accrete into a portrait of a man trying to make sense of a world in which there are no goddamn rules; and yet one in which every action has sometimes profound consequences. \nThis event is free\, but please RSVP on their website as capacity is limited. Books will be on hand for sale and signing!
