Bryan Cranston Live
2017-08-30 19:00 - 20:30 | Downtown Central Library, 222 E. Harvard St., Glendale, CA, 91205, United States
Hear Bryan Cranston in conversation with KPCC’s John Horn as they discuss Cranston’s autobiography, My Life In Parts.
A LIFE IN PARTS, Bryan Cranston’s riveting New York Times bestselling memoir traces his zigzag journey from his chaotic childhood to mega stardom by vividly revisiting the many parts he’s played, on camera (astronaut, dentist, detective, candy bar spokesperson, President of the United States, etc.) and off (paperboy, farmhand, security guard, dating consultant, murder suspect, dock loader, son, brother, lover, husband, father).
With great humor, and much humility, Cranston chronicles his unlikely rise from a soap opera regular, trying to learn the ropes and the politics of show business on the fly, to a recurring spot as Tim Whatley on Seinfeld, finding himself an indelible part of popular culture. He recalls his run as the well-meaning goofball, Hal, on Malcolm in the Middle, proving to writers and fans that he was willing to do anything, anything, for a laugh, and he gives a bracing account of his challenging run on Broadway as President Lyndon Johnson, pushing himself to the limit as he prepared, physically and mentally, for a tour de force that would win him a Tony, to go along with his four Emmys.
Of course, Cranston dives deep into the grittiest, most fascinating details of his greatest role in Breaking Bad, explaining how he searched inward for the personal darkness that would help him create one of the most captivating performances ever captured on screen: Walter White, chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin.
Discussing his failures as few men do, describing his work as few actors can, Cranston has much to say about innate talent, its benefits, challenges, and proper maintenance, but ultimately A Life in Parts is about the necessity and transformative power of hard work.

Three Women Writers Celebrating Never Quitting
2017-08-17 19:00 - 20:30 | Downtown Central Library, 222 E. Harvard St., Glendale, CA, 91205, United States
Gleah Powers – Edna and Luna. Set in the American Southwest, Gleah Powers’ novel, Edna and Luna, is the story of two women: a lonely, recently widowed eccentric and a much younger new age healer. Facing old age and a hysterectomy, Edna, at 70, reminisces and ruminates about her losses as she makes unsuccessful attempts to start a new life. She tries to befriend her hairdresser, her gardener and a man she meets at a senior dance who makes sexual advances in the swimming pool. Luna, at 35, ridiculed since childhood for her unorthodox gift of healing, has left a violent husband before moving to a local trailer park. Despite Edna’s initial suspicions that Luna is both out of her mind and after her money, their relationship becomes an odyssey filled with unpredictable depths and discoveries for both women. For more than a decade, Gleah Powers has devoted herself to fiction and poetry, receiving an MFA in Creative Writing from Antioch University Los Angeles. Her work has been widely published in print and online. Currently, she is at work on a memoir and a short story collection.
Lisbeth Davidow was a finalist in Alligator Juniper’s national creative non-fiction contest and in The Southeast Review’s Narrative Nonfiction Contest. She was also nominated to be included in Best of Creative Nonfiction. Her writing has appeared in Alligator Juniper, Blue Lyra Review, Helix, Lunch Ticket, Mandala, Marco Polo, Pilgrimage, Prime Mincer, Revolution House, Spittoon, Sliver of Stone and The Tishman Review. A former modern dancer and choreographer, she is now a Feldenkrais practitioner. She is working on a book-length collection of essays and lives in Malibu with her husband.
Linda Davis was the winner of The Saturday Evening Post’s Great American Fiction Contest in 2014. Other publications include The Literary Review, Gemini Magazine, Flyway Note’s, Permafrost, and Tattoo Highway.

The Apology Documentary Film Screening
2017-08-11 19:00 - 22:00 | Downtown Central Library, 222 E. Harvard St., Glendale, CA, 91205, United States
The Apology is a 2016 documentary film by Tiffany Hsiung about three former comfort women who were among the 200,000 girls and young women kidnapped and forced into military sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II. The film is produced by Anita Lee for the National Film Board of Canada.
ReflectSpace at Downtown Central presents Do the Right Thing: (dis)comfort women, an exhibition reflecting on the silence and dialogue by and about the women who were forced to become sex slaves by the Japanese Imperial Army before and during World War II. The exhibition presents the work of twelve international documentarians and artists and runs from July 20 to September 3, 2017. Co-curated by Monica Hye Yeon Jun, Ara and Anahid Oshagan. An opening reception will be held on Friday July 21, from 6-9 pm, Downtown Central Library, 222 East Harvard Street, Glendale CA 91205.
The artists’ work invites reflection and dialogue but also creates tension: between the inability to speak about personal trauma and the deep human urge to tell. Artists explore this silence and simultaneously break it. (dis)comfort women is held taut in this tension and is a vociferous presence urging the acknowledgment of the horrors, lifelong indignity and shame suffered by the comfort women.
