KATE BRAVERMAN

--THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED!--

Many a year it has been acclaimed, longtime Los Angeles novelist and poet Kate Braverman has read here. Now transplanted to San Francisco—via the East Coast along the way—she returns tonight with her award-winning new nonfiction book, Frantic Transmissions to and from Los Angeles: An Accidental Memoir (Graywolf). This is history written, both personal and that of place. "Frantic Transmissions is first and foremost a narrative inspirited by space—an anatomy, as it were, of spaces and psyches...Frantic Transmissions dispatches a reckoning of that American space known as Los Angeles...A memoir? Essays? Kate Braverman is a legendary novelist, short-story writer, and poet, but this book reminds us that nonfiction must be at least as daring and innovative as our strongest novels and poems." - Robert Polito, judge for Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize.
