STAFF PICK: Grapefruit
Grapefruit
Yoko Ono
Yoko Ono’s Grapefruit is a landmark piece of conceptual art. A poetic, mind-bending set of instructions, many of which are impossible to enact, Grapefruit brings art, and the reader’s mind, into a purely linguistic space, not unlike the meditative mindset elicited by a terse Zen koan.

STAFF PICK: How to Be Gay
STAFF PICK: How to Be Gay
How to Be Gay
David M. Halperin
How to Be Gay as an astounding analysis of gay male identificationrather than identity, the cultural markers that suggest the association of certain objects and behaviors as gay rather than a biologically essential character of a person. Here Halperin is not inquiring as to how people become gay but how these signifiers function against heteronormativity and allow…

Jon Macy
This is a beautiful erotic comic by Jon Macy, who I had become familiar with through my work at the Center for Sex and Culture. For a Wilde enthusiast and queer comic connoisseur, it’s just perfect.

STAFF PICK: Fire Shut Up in My Bones
STAFF PICK: Fire Shut Up in My Bones
Fire Shut Up In My Bones Charles M. Blow
New York Times columnist Charles M. Blow’s coverage of the shooting of Trayvon Martin, the cries to arrest and prosecute George Zimmerman and the trial that followed brought the writer to the attention of the masses when he was plucked to comment on the proceedings for MSNBC. Packing the emotion of a black father, his points were nevertheless delivered…

STAFF PICK: 300,000,000
300,000,000
Blake Butler
Like some unholy trinity of House of Leaves, American Psycho, and a dash of Dennis Cooper’s clarity and violence imbued with meaning, Blake Butler’s 300,000,000 takes apart the ritual and routine of American life with a kind of sentimental devastation.

STAFF PICK: Krautrock – Cosmic Rock and Its Legacy
Krautrock – Cosmic Rock and Its Legacy
Originally applied by British music journalists to describe a wide umbrella of German experimental and rock acts, ‘krautrock’ is distilled and collected here to illuminate many of the prominent artists (Can, Amon Duul, Faust, and a few that were new to me). Band photos and beautiful color album shots are included.

STAFF PICK: Woman With Guitar: Memphis Minnie's Blues
STAFF PICK: Woman With Guitar: Memphis Minnie’s Blues
Woman With Guitar: Memphis Minnie’s Blues Paul & Beth Garon
Everyone knows Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey and Billie Holiday but fewer are intimately familiar with the contributions made to modern blues and rock by Memphis Minnie. The Garons charted Minnie’s history, first published in 1992, revealing her to be as fearless and fierce on the fretboard as she was in her life. Minnie’s story is deep,…

Modern Times Bookstore Collective joins the Lit Crawl once again this year! We’re so happy to have them back! The Collective will be self-curating a fabulous event about Punk this year!
From Modern Times: Since 1971, Modern Times has survived the collapse of the New Left from which it emerged, the assault of chain bookselling, the death of independent stores throughout the country, gentrification of the Mission, and the competition from online booksellers. We see this as testimony to the commitment of our community to a literate and lively exchange of ideas and ideals. We wouldn’t be where we are without support from our ever-expanding community of friends, members, customers, authors, artists, and activists.

The object we call a book is not the real book, but its seed or potential, like a music score. It exists fully only in the act of being read; and its real home is inside the head of the reader, where the seed germinates and the symphony resounds. A book is a heart that only beats in the chest of another.
—Rebecca Solnit, The Faraway Nearby (via jarrettfuller)
