3 book events in Oakland in November!

For those of you who haven't yet been to an Oakland in Popular Memory book reading--you're in luck! I have 3 events in November. Come to hear about the latest innovative artists and musicians in Oakland. You may also get a sneak preview of my next book, featuring photographs of Bay Area social movements by Joe Sciarrillo.

The first edition of Oakland in Popular Memory is sold out! But if you're lucky, I may be able to unearth a few of the remaining highly-collectible first edition copies.

Here are the events:

Saturday, November 3: Book Reading at the 25th Street Collective in Oakland. The event is part of Oakland Art Murmur's Saturday Stroll, in collaboration with Art Beat. The book reading and audience Q&A is followed by a book signing and reception. 477 25th St., Oakland, 3-4pm.

Thursday, November 15: Authors of Oakland, Oakland Heritage Alliance. The event features author meet-and-greet and book sales/signing with Oakland's luminary authors like Ishmael Reed and up-and-coming writers like me. First Christian Church, Fellowship Hall, 111 Fairmount Ave., Oakland, 7:15-8:30pm.

Wednesday, November 28: Matt Werner Book Reading at Oakland Main Library (PDF). Author reading, Q&A, and book signing. Bradley C. Walters Community Room, Main Library, 125 14th St., Oakland. 6-7pm.
