11/9  Bad Indians by Deborah Miranda 

Come honor Native American Heritage month! We are lucky to have author of Bad Indians, Deborah Miranda. Come learn about California Indian history, past and present. She will share with us what a hybrid memoir is, and how she came to write the book in that form rather than a straight narrative. The operating principles of the book are decolonization and survivance—both key concepts for all U.S. writers as we reckon with history and loss in these pandemic times. The book’s organizational principle is collage—a literary strategy that has gained greater resonance with this decade’s experiences of isolation and fragmentation. She is a local and we are lucky to be able to have her come here to educate our community. You can order her book at Heyday Books. Bring it with you and she will sign them following her presentation. Your cost includes refreshments. Held at 1400 Lake Dr.
