"Lamentation" Book Event with Author Joe Clifford, October 3rd at Florey's!

Florey's Books welcomes Oakland author Joe Clifford as he discusses his new book, "Lamentation".

***Saturday, October 3rd, 2-4pm***

About the Book:

In a frigid New Hampshire winter, Jay Porter is trying to eke out a living and maintain some semblance of a relationship with his former girlfriend and their two-year-old son. When he receives an urgent call that Chris, his drug-addicted brother, is being questioned by the sheriff about his missing junkie business partner, Jay feels obliged to come to his rescue. After Jay negotiates his brother’s release from the county jail, Chris disappears into the night. As Jay begins to search for him, he is plunged into a cauldron of ugly lies and long-kept secrets that could tear apart his small hometown and threaten the lives of Jay and all those he holds dear. Powerful forces come into play that will stop at nothing until Chris is dead and the information he harbors is destroyed.

About the Author:

As an artist, I explore the dark places, the uncomfortable places, the dingy bricks and concrete cracks of a cold uncaring city. I write about the criminals and dope fiends, the dealers and the dreamers, the cops with their heels on the throat, closing in on the kill. I know this scene well, because I once moved among them.

As a homeless junkie for several years, I stole with them, slept with them. I fought along side them. My work shows this world intimately, and ultimately it is not a loss I choose to lament; rather, it is a celebration I embrace. Because for as ugly as it gets out there at times, something beautiful can still shine through the darkness of that life. You just have to know where to look, and you only need to stay on your feet long enough to find it.

I made it out. Many did not. So I go back now and extract what I can, what was preserved, and I champion it. I do it for me. I do it for them. And I do it for you. Enjoy.

Pacifica Book Club: 'Everything I Never Told You', Sept. 29th at Florey's!

Florey's welcomes you to our book club!

***Tuesday, September 29th, 7:30pm-9:00pm***

Please join us in discussing Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng, "a literary thriller that begins with some stock elements: a missing girl, a lake, a local bad boy who was one of the last to see her and won’t say what he knows. The year is 1977, the setting, a quiet all-American town in Ohio, where everyone knows one another and nothing like this has ever happened before."

During this meeting we will also be setting the schedule for the books for the remainder of the year! Feel free to come with book in mind you'd like to have considered!

Get to know your neighbors and enjoy casual engaging conversation. All are welcome. Wine & light bites. All are welcome.
