Please join us for an author Q&A with Guerilla Tacos founder and Chef Wes Avila, along with Richard Parks III, as they discuss his book, Guerilla Tacos. This cook book offers the story of their fame with their taco truck, which stands out in a crowded field because it is so unique and uses only stellar ingredients. With comic illustrations and stories throughout, and the 50 base recipes in this book, this is the final word on the subject.
Come to hear the 2nd Monday Poetry Party hosted by Cadence Collective, and hosted by poets Murray Thomas & Sarah Thursday. This site features poets who have lived, gone to school, worked or regularly been a part of Long Beach, and it always begins with an Open Mic, followed by featured readers of the month.
Come to hear author Douglas Trevor discuss and sign his book, Book of Wonders. This book is a collection of nine stories, and explores unsettling and comic situations in which people lose their bearings, reinvent themselves, or resolve—sometimes haplessly—to make sense of their lives. We are reminded not only of the struggle to connect, but also of what the most unlikely of people may realize they share.
Please join us to hear Steven J. Ross, son of Holocaust survivors, author and professor of history at USC, discussing and signing his new book, Hitler in Los Angeles: How Jews Foiled Nazi Plots Against Hollywood and America, in conversation with the host and producer of “Start Making Sense,” The Nation’s weekly podcast Jon Wiener (How We Forgot the Cold War: A Historical Journey Across America). The book examines how the Nazis plotted to sabotage the nation’s military installations, propaganda and communications along the Pacific Coast
Please join us to hear the Pulitzer Prize winning author for Hamilton, Ron Chernow, discuss and sign Grant, his newest masterful biography, about Ulysses S. Grant’s life as a general and president, whose fortunes rose and fell with dizzying speed and frequency. In conversation with USC professor and author William Deverell, Chernow offers this sweeping and dramatic portrait, that finds the threads that bind the disparate stores together, and makes sense of all sides of Grant’s life, contradictions, and accomplishments.
