The book\, published in a dozen languages\, was named the year’s Best Non-fiction Book by Entertainment Weekly\, “Best Books of 2008” by Amazon\, and it won first place in the Barnes and Noble Discover Award in non-fiction. In 2009\, David was named to the Time 100\, Time magazine’s list of the World’s Most Influential People. A feature film adaptation of Beautiful Boy\, starring Steve Carell and Timothee Chalamet\, was released in the U.S. in October\, 2018 and internationally in February\, 2019. \nDavid Sheff wrote a book in 2008 that became a kind of landmark. Beautiful Boy\, a painful\, personal story of the battle he tried to fight with and alongside his son\, Nic\, who was addicted \nto methamphetamines. The book became an international bestseller and made David Sheff one of the country’s most prominent voices on addiction — not as a doctor\, an addict or an academic expert\, but as a father. Sheff has continued to try to figure out a road that can lead out of addiction\, and he presents that route in his new book\, Clean: Overcoming Addiction and Ending America’s Greatest Tragedy. \nFollowing in his father’s footsteps\, Nic Sheff became a writer and author himself. Two years after David’s book became a best-seller\, Nic wrote an article called “Breaking Dad\,” where he discusses how difficult it was to read that memoir. He was so fixated on his own addiction that he didn’t realize how much pain his drug use was afflicting on those around him. \nHe eventually wrote two books about his struggle\, 2009’s Tweak: Growing Up on Methamphetamines\, which is also listed as source material for the movie\, and 2011’s We All Fall Down: Living with Addiction. By 2013\, Nic had broken into television\, writing an episode for Netflix show The Killing\, then moved on to write\, story-edit\, and co-produce 13 Reasons Why\, drawing upon his own history of self-harm and attempted suicide.  Clean and sober since 2011\, Nic travels the country sharing an unglamorized\, authentic and heart-touching story of substance abuse and recovery.  He has been recognized as “a life-changing speaker.” His deeply engaging talks put a compelling human face on our nation’s substance abuse epidemic\, encouraging those who struggle to embrace help and bringing hope to all who are touched by it. \nDavid and Nic will share the stage at the Hanna Boys Center Auditorium on Monday\, February 3\, 2020\, moderated by Laura Zimmerman. \nSigned copies of their books will be for sale in the lobby by Reader’s Books before and after their compelling interview.

Bernice Bing (1936-1998) was known as “Bingo\,” and overcame multiple barriers of discrimination as a woman\, as an Asian-American\, and as a lesbian. She was among the courageous\, creative individuals withstanding the forces of conformity and oppression in post-World War II America. But Bing’s marginal status during the Beat era of the 1950s actually gave her an advantage. By the time she arrived on the scene\, San Francisco’s avant-garde had coalesced into a self-sufficient underground community\, op-erating its own artist-and-poet-run galleries and presses and providing much of its own audience\, and thus remained free from the tastemakers of the art establishment. \nSonoma Valley Museum of Art\, a nonprofit\, membership organization\, open to the general public\, is located at 551 Broadway in Sonoma. Call 707.939.7862\, or go to svma.org for more information.
