SUMMARY:Josh Weil (What Came West) Author Talk and Signing
DESCRIPTION:Bank Square Books presents an author talk and signing with Josh Weil for his book\, What Came West. Josh will be in conversation with Stuart Vyse. \nAbout the Book \nA gripping tale of murder and pursuit set against the shifting Sierra Nevada during the Gold Rush\, where ambition\, violence\, and destiny collide. \n“What Came West is astonishing. Unraveling the mythology of the Western with a genius for insight and description\, Weil tells the story anew: a beautiful\, ruminative\, bloody\, terrifying and brilliant book about a chapter in the life of one man and in the life of our country. Unmissable.” —Andrew Sean Greer\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Less \nSierra Nevada\, 1840s\, just before the Gold Rush ignites. Silas Hall has never belonged anywhere except the wild. Bullied as a child and uneasy even within his own family\, he finds brief solace in love and fatherhood before the pull of the frontier overwhelms him. One day he heads west\, chasing a life that might finally make sense. \nWhat follows is a swift\, pulse-pounding journey into the mountains\, where Silas becomes one of the first white settlers to cross into the Sierra Nevada. He forges a precarious peace with the Indigenous people who live there—until the Gold Rush crashes in with violent force. As thousands flood the region\, the balance shatters\, and Silas commits murder\, a desperate act that alters the course of every life around him\, including his own. \nTaut and propulsive\, What Came West is told in two parallel voices—one a tense\, third-person account of Silas on the run\, and the other a confessional letter from Silas to the son he left behind—and confronts many different forms of American inheritance\, in all its danger\, emotional voltage\, and mythic momentum. Weil’s masterpiece is a fierce\, heart-driven portrait of an outsider racing toward belonging and barreling headlong into consequence. \nAbout the Author \nJosh Weil is the author of the novel The Great Glass Sea\, the novella collection The New Valley\, and the story collection The Age of Perpetual Light. He is a Fulbright fellow and has been awarded the Dayton Literary Peace Prize\, the Sue Kaufman Prize for First Fiction from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, a “5 Under 35” award from the National Book Foundation\, the California Book Award\, and a Pushcart Prize. For the past dozen years\, he has called the Sierra Nevada of Northern California home. \nAbout Stuart Vyse \nStuart Vyse is a behavioral scientist\, teacher\, and writer. He is a contributing editor for Skeptical Inquirer magazine\, for which he writes the “Behavior & Belief” column\, both online and in print. He has written personal and professional essays in a variety of places\, including the Observer\, Medium\, The Atlantic\, The Good Men Project\, Tablet\, and Time. \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Writers Group
DESCRIPTION:We welcome local writers for free-write sessions at 4 p.m.\, Mondays\, in the Ames Room. The sessions are open to anyone who feels like writing. \nLoosely based on the notion of stream-of-consciousness writing described by Natalie Goldberg in “Writing Down the Bones\,” the sessions are broken into three parts of 5 minutes\, 10 minutes\, and 5 minutes. A writer selects a topic from subjects previously placed in a box. For the first 5 minutes\, write whatever comes to mind. Don’t stop to correct\, just record whatever pops into your head\, even if it’s something like\, “I have no idea what to write…” Each person shares what they’ve written\, free of commentary or criticism. \nThen\, for 10 minutes\, writers write what comes to mind\, perhaps an idea or a subject someone had just read aloud or something you wrote in the first 5 minutes will lead to a focus. The group shares again. Writers write for another 5 minutes and then share. \nYou’ll be surprised at the places you’ll go with the topics in these sessions. They give you an opportunity to express yourself\, they’re therapeutic\, and they often lead to a lot to talk about after putting your pens down.

SUMMARY:Writers Group
DESCRIPTION:We welcome local writers for free-write sessions at 4 p.m.\, Mondays\, in the Ames Room. The sessions are open to anyone who feels like writing. \nLoosely based on the notion of stream-of-consciousness writing described by Natalie Goldberg in “Writing Down the Bones\,” the sessions are broken into three parts of 5 minutes\, 10 minutes\, and 5 minutes. A writer selects a topic from subjects previously placed in a box. For the first 5 minutes\, write whatever comes to mind. Don’t stop to correct\, just record whatever pops into your head\, even if it’s something like\, “I have no idea what to write…” Each person shares what they’ve written\, free of commentary or criticism. \nThen\, for 10 minutes\, writers write what comes to mind\, perhaps an idea or a subject someone had just read aloud or something you wrote in the first 5 minutes will lead to a focus. The group shares again. Writers write for another 5 minutes and then share. \nYou’ll be surprised at the places you’ll go with the topics in these sessions. They give you an opportunity to express yourself\, they’re therapeutic\, and they often lead to a lot to talk about after putting your pens down.
