The intellectual terrain within his orbit is as capacious as its geography—with deep-dive spannings from the readerly culture of Los Angeles to the art of the Russian avant-garde and featuring cameos from a constellation of extraordinary cultural figures—Susan Sontag, Orson Welles, Barbra Streisand, and Gore Vidal among them.Steve Wasserman is publisher of Heyday. A 1974 graduate of UC Berkeley, he holds a degree in criminology. His past positions include being deputy editor of the op-ed page and opinion section of the Los Angeles Times; editor of the Los Angeles Times Book Review; editorial director of New Republic Books; publisher and editorial director of Hill and Wang at Farrar, Straus &amp; Giroux and of the Noonday Press; editorial director of Times Books at Random House; and editor at large for Yale University Press.Barbara Lane is a book columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle, book reviewer for NPR, and several national newspapers, and author interviewer for City Arts &amp; Lectures, the Commonwealth Club, and a number of literary festivals.Our bookseller for this program is Sausalito Books by the Bay.Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.Cost: FREECategories: In Person, LiteratureVenue: Mill Valley Public LibraryAddress: 375 Throckmorton Ave., Mill Valley, CAMonday, October 28, 20249:00 am Japanese Tea Garden’s Free Admission Hour (Golden Gate Park) FREE* 5:00 pm NFL Monday Night Football + Happy Hour (’til 6:30p) at The Function (SF) FREE* 5:00 pm Chess Night at Barebottle Brewery FREE* 6:00 pm SF Arcade Bar “Emporium” 8 Free Game Tokens for “Industry Night” (Every Monday) FREE* 7:00 pm “Motown On Mondays” DJ Night (Madrone Art Bar) FREE* 7:00 pm SF’s “Wurst Drag Trivia” (Every Monday) FREE 7:15 pm Monday Night Free Comedy Showt at SF’s Newest Comedy Club (The Function) FREE* 7:30 pm Ahmad Alive Film Screening $15* 7:30 pm The Marsh’s Online Storytelling Night (Every Monday) FREE* 8:00 pm Mirthquake: Monday Live Comedy in the Richmond w/ $5 Drinks (SF) FREE* 10:00 pm SF’s Wild “1-Minute Open Mic Comedy Battle” Late Night (The Function) FREE* </div></body>
