EVOLUTION OF A WRITER
Keith Donohue
The Stolen Child
Inspired by the W.B. Yeats poem, Keith Donohue's debut novel tells of a boy kidnapped near his home by changelings; ageless beings whose secret community is threatened by encroaching modern life. With a fascinating combination of the fantastic and the realistic, Donohue creates a frightening, but familiar world. Please join us as Mr. Donohue talks about his debut, and discusses the writing process.

Michelle Slatalla
The Town on Beaver Creek
Michelle Slatalla has written a beautiful portrait of small-town America. The Town on Beaver Creek is the tale of a lost Kentucky community and the fascinating, uniquely American people who lived there-including Ms. Slatalla's great-grandmother, grandmother and grandfather. The Town on Beaver Creek is described by Kirkus Reviews as, "heartwarming, yet sober and unsentimental."
Wednesday, September 6th @ 12:30
MYSTERY CIRCLE
Andrew Vachss
Mask Market
Stacey's kicks off our Fall schedule with an event with Andrew Vachss and the latest page-turner featuring Burke. In Mask Market, Burke is witness to a professional hit that sends him on a hunt to find a girl he has rescued years before, a hunt that takes him down some of the darkest alleys of his past.
Friday, September 8th @ 12:30
Lynn Peril
College Girls
Lynn Peril, author of PinkThink, investigates the disparity between the cultural image and the real lives of college women. In an era when the majority of college graduates are female, Peril examines the cultural ambivalence that still exists around women in higher education, and the dual image that seems to persist: gawky geeks in denial of their femininity, or sex kittens in pursuit of a husband. Please join us for what promises to be a provocative discussion.
AFFILIATE EVENTS
Friday, August 11th @ 6:30 pm
MECHANICS' INSTITUTE
James Dalessandro
The Damnedest, Finest Ruins
The screenwriter, raconteur and best-selling author of 1906 presents his documentary expose about the 1906 earthquake, a saga of individual courage and political incompetence illustrated with rare photos and actual footage of the disaster. Included is an interview with Gladys Hansen, Founder of the SF Public Library's history section, and in a way, a latter day heroine of the Great San Francisco Earthquake. Five decades after 1906 she began the investigation that revealed the death toll of the quake to be far greater than the original 478 that was the official count. Please note: This event will take place at the Mechanics' Institute, 57 Post Street. Admission is free for members and $7 for non-members. For reservations and information, please call 415-393-0100 or email rsvp@milibrary.org.
Wednesday, August 23rd @ 6:00 pm
COMMONWEALTH CLUB
Geoffrey Nunberg
Talking Right
Modern linguistics is a primary front in the political fight says Geoffrey Nunberg, and the Right is winning the battles. Through manipulative use of language (he identifies "values" and "no child left behind" as neocon faves), conservatives have convinced many voters that issues they have traditionally cared about have been taken care of. Please note: This event will take place at the Commonwealth Club, next door to Stacey's at 595 Market Street, 2nd Floor. Admission is free for members, $18 for non-members. Check-in is at 5:30 pm. For reservations and more information, please call 415-597-6705.
