Join us Wednesday July 13th at 6:30 pm as we welcome Elisa Albert to the store to discuss and sign Human Blues. Joining her inconversation will be Orli Auslander.This event is free to attend and will be held at DIESEL, A Bookstore ~ Brentwood. Masks are required to attend.
On the eve of her fourth album, singer-songwriter Aviva Rosner is plagued by infertility. The twist: as much as Aviva wants a child, she is wary of technological conception, and has poured her ambivalence into her music. As the album makes its way in the world, the shock of the response from fans and critics is at first exciting -- and then invasive and strange. Aviva never wanted to be famous, or did she? Meanwhile, her evolving obsession with another iconic musician, gone too soon, might just help her make sense of things.
Told over the course of nine menstrual cycles, Human Blues is a bold, brainy, darkly funny, utterly original interrogation of our cultural obsession with childbearing. It’s also the story of one fearless woman at the crossroads, ruthlessly questioning what she wants and what she’s willing -- or not willing -- to do to get it.
Elisa Albert is the author of After Birth, The Book of Dahlia, How This Night Is Different, and editor of the anthology Freud’s Blind Spot. Her stories and essays have appeared in Time, The Guardian, The New York Times, n+1, Bennington Review, Tin House, Michigan Quarterly Review, The Literary Review, the Los Angeles Review of Books, and elsewhere. She lives in upstate New York.
Orli Auslander grew up in London and worked as a milliner and radio DJ in New York City before devoting herself full-time to art and writing.
Her work has been shown in the US, England and Spain, and was featured on the Showtime series Happyish.
Her book I Feel Bad was developed into Amy Poehler's NBC sitcom of the same name, on which Orli served as consulting producer. She lives in Los Angeles, which is as close to an insane asylum as she can get without having padded walls.
