After Bridget Crocker’s parents’ volatile divorce, she moved with her mother from Southern California to Wyoming. Her life was idyllic, growing up in a trailer park on the banks of the Snake River with a stepfather she loved, a new baby brother, and the river as her companion—until her mother suddenly took up a radical new lifestyle, becoming someone Bridget barely recognized. The one constant in her life—the place Bridget felt whole and fully herself—was the river. When she discovered the world of whitewater rafting, she knew she’d found her calling.

In adulthood, they are content to be all but estranged, until Clara sees a woman who looks exactly like their mother on the streets of London, but unchanged by time and living a childless life. In this kaleidoscopic multiverse of daughterhood and longing, Daley-Ward examines the sacrifices Black women make to achieve self-actualization.   

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Tuesday May 27th at 6:30 pm as they welcome John Dinges to the store to discuss and sign Chile in Their Hearts: The Untold Story of Two Americans Who Went Missing After the Coup. Joining him in conversation will be Francisco Letelier.   

Set against the romance of revolution and the terror of a military coup, this arresting mystery is also a reckoning with the callousness of U.S. foreign policy.
 
In 1972 two idealistic young Americans, Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi, arrived in Chile to participate in President Salvador Allende's socialist and democratic revolution. A year later they were secretly executed as Chile's military, with U.S. backing, deposed Allende. Following a sham investigation and cover-up, a Chilean defector leveled a stunning but ultimately false accusation: a CIA agent was in the room when one of the killings was ordered.

Join us Diesel, A Bookstore Wednesday May 21st at 6:30 pm as they welcome Craig Mod to the store to discuss and sign Things Become Other Things: A Walking Memoir. Joining him in conversation will be Dexter Thomas.     

Photographer and essayist Craig Mod is a veteran of long solo walks. But in 2021, during the pandemic shutdown of Japan’s borders, one particular walk around the Kumano Kodō routes—the ancient pilgrimage paths of Japan’s southern Kii Peninsula—took on an unexpectedly personal new significance. Mod found himself reflecting on his own childhood in a post-industrial American town, his experiences as an adoptee, his unlikely relocation to Japan at nineteen, and his relationship with one lost friend, whose life was tragically cut short after their paths diverged. For Mod, the walk became a tool to bear witness to a quiet grace visible only when “you’re bored out of your skull and the miles left are long.”

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Wednesday April 23rd  at 6:30 pm as they welcome Makenna Held to the store to discuss and sign Mostly French: Recipes from a Kitchen in Provence (a Cookbook). 

In a bold and adventurous move, Makenna Held bought Julia Child’s summer home in Provence sight-unseen in 2016. Some of the most iconic culinary figures of the time visited Child’s quiet retreat, named ‘La Pitchoune’ (meaning “little one”): MFK Fisher, Richard Olney, Judith Jones, and James Beard. Today, Makenna operates a cooking school on the premises, and was recently the host of La Pitchoune: Cooking in France on the Magnolia Network (streaming on Max/Hulu) .Mostly French is Makenna’s story of finding herself in the slower pace of the French countryside. In the narrative woven throughout the introductory material and recipe headnotes, Makenna writes as much about developing as a person as she does about developing delicious recipes. With tips and tricks, and an extensive section on cheese and charcuterie boards for the golden hour of L’Apero, Makenna and Mostly French implore you to kick off your shoes, don some house slippers and apron, and celebrate cooking and community.

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Tuesday April 22nd at 6:30 pm as they welcome Matthew Specktor to the store to discuss and sign The Golden Hour: A Story of Family and Power in Hollywood  Joining him in conversation will be Tom Bissell. Sam Kovner reads messages on walls and hears voices in the hall, and wonders: if you find yourself losing your mind, how do you get well?

A personal and cultural exploration of the struggles between art and business at the heart of modern Hollywood, through the eyes of the talent that shaped it

Matthew Specktor grew up in the film industry: the son of legendary CAA superagent Fred Specktor, his childhood was one where Beau Bridges came over for dinner, Martin Sheen’s daughter was his close friend, and Marlon Brando left long messages on the family answering machine. He would eventually spend time working in Hollywood himself, first as a reluctant studio executive and later as a screenwriter. 

Now, with The Golden Hour, Specktor blends memoir, cultural criticism, and narrative history to tell the story of the modern motion picture industry—illuminating the conflict between art and business that has played out over the last seventy-five years in Hollywood. Braiding his own story with that of his father, mother (a talented screenwriter whose career was cut short), and figures ranging from Jack Nicholson to CAA’s Michael Ovitz, Specktor reveals how Hollywood became a laboratory for the eternal struggle between art, labor, and capital.

Join Diesel, A Bookstore on Wednesday April 16th at 6:30 pm as they welcome Cal Hoffman to the store to discuss and sign Easy to Slip. Joining him in conversation will be Arye Gross.

Sam Kovner reads messages on walls and hears voices in the hall, and wonders: if you find yourself losing your mind, how do you get well?

Winter, 1976, Columbia University. Hearing voices and seeing hateful writing on walls, early admission Sam Kovner walks the New York streets, sleepless thirty-six hours. Through the radiant specificity of memory, he reckons with a hard-driving father, a caring, sometimes careless mother, a generous, self-involved uncle who’s just become a movie star, and star-struck grandparents. Sam fears the undertow of feelings: he’s not quite spent the night with someone he’s fallen for. Home for high-school graduation, a prom night affair reminds Sam of how he once knew love, freeing him to face his encroaching psychosis. Entering a hospital, he confronts traumatic, repressed memories with unflinching courage. With irrepressible humor and pathos, Easy to Slip recalls an era when youth mattered and people healed from psychiatric illness.
