Duttons Books Brentwood & Beverly Hills – Critically acclaimed readings and events. Thu, 3/10, 5pm: Diane Leslie Book Group. Sat, 3/12, 2pm: Francine Kaufman signs Diabesity “. . . diabetes has become the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Hence, experts have begun to link the two as a single problem of ‘diabesity,’ especially in children. A pediatric endocrinologist and former president of the American Diabetes Association, Kaufman has written an enlightening text on this epidemic and its impact on the individual, family, and society.” Sun, 3/13, 2pm: Eric Wasserman signs The Temporary Life: Stories. Mon, 3/14, 7pm: Tom Russell signs Hotwalker, “a portrait of a segment of American culture in a time gone by. Through original songs, narration and the actual voices of literary and historical figures, Tom constructs a recollection of the outsider voices of American popular culture, literature and art of the 1960s. The taking-off point for Hotwalker is Tom’s correspondence with outsider writer/poet Charles Bukowski in the 1960s. The listener is taken on a tour of dive bars in downtown LA, Mexican border whorehouses, huckster revival meetings, Bakersfield honky-tonks, and more. It is a remarkable journey through Russell’s celebration of quirky American culture of the past and his lament on its decline and homogenization.” Tue, 3/15, 7pm: Matthew Carnahan signs Serpent Girl.
