was in town for his solo exhibition at Anno Domini. He spent the afternoon leading up to his opening reception wheat pasting his art on numerous walls and utility boxes surrounding the hotel in which he was staying — not that many of us in downtown San Jose ever saw it. Our city had a “zero tolerance” graffiti policy and a well-funded anti-graffiti team to back it up. By the next morning, they had completely and effectively eradicated Fairey’s art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11741849\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1069px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/ShepardFairey_AnnoDomini.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11741849\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/ShepardFairey_AnnoDomini.jpg\" alt=\"Shepard Fairey in San Jose 2000.\" width=\"1069\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/ShepardFairey_AnnoDomini.jpg 1069w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/ShepardFairey_AnnoDomini-400x269.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/ShepardFairey_AnnoDomini-800x539.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/ShepardFairey_AnnoDomini-768x517.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/ShepardFairey_AnnoDomini-960x647.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1069px) 100vw, 1069px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Shepard Fairey in San Jose 2000. \u003ccite>(Photo courtesy of Anno Domini)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Street art and graffiti have often been seen as two sides of the same coin when it comes to legal interpretation and ramifications, but the simple step of an artist asking and being granted permission has resulted in an explosion of murals on privately-owned buildings all over the world. San Jose has slowly but surely begun to acknowledge the contributions artists make towards a vibrant city that attracts and retains the creative class with much of the work being accomplished by a mix of inspired individuals, artists, grass roots collectives and civic-minded nonprofits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The murals highlighted below are just a few of the many outdoor art works that can be found in San Jose if you have the presence of mind to explore the neighborhoods and look up once in a while. These particular murals were chosen for their originality and contribution to the actual space surrounding them as well as the wonderment they inspire when you view them. It’s easy to imagine these murals as portals into other worlds where you can linger a while and give your cerebral side a rest and let your intuitive imagination side have some fun and play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One caveat of private/permissioned murals is that its longevity is uncertain. So consider a détournement next time you’re out walking, skating or biking this summer and see what beauty awaits you in the streets of San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11741845\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1127px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/IanYoung_CLakey.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11741845\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/IanYoung_CLakey.jpg\" alt=\"Mural by Ian S.

San Jose has slowly but surely begun to acknowledge the contributions artists make towards a vibrant city that attracts and retains the creative class with much of the work being accomplished by a mix of inspired individuals, artists, grass roots collectives and civic-minded nonprofits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The murals highlighted below are just a few of the many outdoor art works that can be found in San Jose if you have the presence of mind to explore the neighborhoods and look up once in a while. These particular murals were chosen for their originality and contribution to the actual space surrounding them as well as the wonderment they inspire when you view them.

Cold, windy, muddy, edged with dank scraps of dense, unfriendly vegetation, it’s just the place to take your family on an annual basis for an unpleasant and perhaps unholy Easter celebration. Smith, who tries to tell the story, but is prone to wind back and forth in his memory, recalls, as best he can, his brother Hanny, a mute whom his dangerously-devout mother hoped to cure with sinister rituals. There was a child’s body washed up in the mud and thorns that lined the shore. Did something fantastic intrude into these grim everyday lives, or were those lives simply worse than we care to imagine? Hurley’s powerful prose and his intense sense of place and character bring to mind the best that the Gothic fiction genre has to offer. Read it before booking that cottage on the coast.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689210\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/perri-the_assistants-1-400x603.jpg\" alt=\"'The Assistants' by Camille Perri\" width=\"400\" height=\"603\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11689210\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/perri-the_assistants-1.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/perri-the_assistants-1-398x600.jpg 398w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘The Assistants’ by Camille Perri\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cem>The Assistants\u003c/em>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>by Camille Perri\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Camille Perri’s debut novel, \u003cem>The Assistants\u003c/em>, is narrated by Tina Fontana, assistant to a billionaire media mogul who pays for an hors d’oeuvre what she pays in rent for her tiny apartment. The luxury gap is alive and well, and Tina is staring at a student loan debt of $20,000. Circumstances offer her an exit that she takes with the tiniest moral pivot, but one step away from the straight and narrow leads to another step and another debt-riddled ex-student. As Tina takes us down a rabbit-hole of cascading consequences, Perri crafts a novel that offers a charming look at friendship, courtship and corporate shenanigans in the early 21st century. You may guess where all this is going — a scheme, perhaps? — but not how far. And having Tina as your guide is the kind of bonus that even a benevolent corporation can’t offer. She’s witty and gritty, with a perfectly honed predilection for salty language that brings on the laughs. You may read it in a day or two, but it will play in your brain for much longer than that. There are a lot of ways to break the glass ceiling; some may involve breaking, or at least bending the law.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689212\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover-400x625.jpg\" alt=\"'The Race' by Nina Allan\" width=\"400\" height=\"625\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11689212\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover-400x625.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover-384x600.jpg 384w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover-768x1200.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover-755x1180.jpg 755w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘The Race’ by Nina Allan\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cem>The Race\u003c/em>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>by Nina Allan\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the debut universe, or more likely in one adjacent to ours, you can find Nina Allan’s remarkable \u003cem>The Race\u003c/em>. In admirably direct prose, we meet Jenna Hoolman, who tells us about her life in Sapphire in a devastated future. The only game in town is smartdog racing, which involves humans bonded to dogs. “There’s a lot of hard-science stuff I don’t understand fully,” Jenna tells us. In fact the future itself seems a bit blurry, until Allan snaps it into crystal clear focus. Our narrator may not be who we think she is. And the smartdog-runner relationship may prove to have parallels even the most literary aficionados may not suspect. Rest assured this is not the science fiction you thought you were buying, but something even stranger and more powerful. Stories unfold within stories, fiction begets even stranger fictions set in more familiar places. Here’s the good news: the best means of gaining any perspective requires one to step away from the object you are trying to understand. It’s essential to preserve the mysteries at the heart of this astonishing novel. But as Nina Allan whipsaws your mind from this world to the next and back to this one, upon your return to wherever you were when you started \u003cem>The Race\u003c/em>, you will realize that perspective cuts two ways. Try as you might, you can’t unsee the truth.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689387\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Muladona_picture-210-400x612.jpg\" alt=\"'Muladona' by Eric Stener Carlson\" width=\"400\" height=\"612\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11689387\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Muladona_picture-210.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Muladona_picture-210-392x600.jpg 392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘Muladona’ by Eric Stener Carlson\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cem>Muladona\u003c/em>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>by Eric Stener Carlson\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Tartarus Press is a specialty publisher from the moors of Britain with a focus on the supernatural and the weird. They were the original publisher of Andrew Michael Hurley’s \u003cem>The Loney\u003c/em>, before it started winning prizes and acclaim. Eric Stener Carlson’s \u003cem>Muladona\u003c/em> unfolds in 1918, as the Spanish flu kills off the residents of Incarnation, Texas. Verge Strömberg is a bookworm and the son of an overbearing town pastor, who leaves him behind to tend church elsewhere. That’s when the Muladona begins coming to him – a fire-breathing winged mule from hell (and Mexican folklore).

Barlough\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>The potential in fantasy literature for the weird is great, but the realization is low. We can thank Jeffrey E. Barlough, then, for his utterly unique Western Lights novels. They all stand alone, though they partake of the same backdrop — a sort of Victorian London plopped down in the American West and mid-west, sans gunpowder, but with mastodons, wooly mammoths and giant sloths roaming the hills. The latest entry, \u003cem>Where the Time Goes\u003c/em> finds Dr. Hugh Callender returning home to Dithering in the Lingonshire, to investigate the monster in Eldritch’s Cupboard, if indeed it even exists. The charm of Barlough’s work is that he writes as if he’s living in the world he has created with a lovely and enjoyably jolly faux-Victorian prose. He also loves his characters so much that you cannot help but feel the same. He creates real tension and when he dials up the creep factor, he can make your skin crawl with the merest suggestion. This is the ninth book in the series, so if you want to catch up while you wait for this one, there are plenty to read. Order is unimportant, but these books are an important reminder that the human imagination has no bounds. They also remind us that there is art in literature that simply cannot be experienced in any other way.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"When the fog rolls in, there's no better time to kick back in your cozy living room and read some really weird books.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1705033904,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":11,"wordCount":1718},"headData":{"title":"Really Weird Books for Fogged-in, Coast-Side Reading this Summer | KQED","description":"When the fog rolls in, there's no better time to kick back in your cozy living room and read some really weird books.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":""},"sticky":false,"path":"/arts/11670731/really-weird-books-for-fogged-in-coast-side-reading-this-summer","audioTrackLength":null,"parsedContent":[{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/series/hot-summer-days-and-nights-guide-2016/\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-11638282\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300.jpg 300w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\u003c/a>I live by the beach, and we know that summer begins when the sun disappears towards the end of May, for about three months.

Cold, windy, muddy, edged with dank scraps of dense, unfriendly vegetation, it’s just the place to take your family on an annual basis for an unpleasant and perhaps unholy Easter celebration. Smith, who tries to tell the story, but is prone to wind back and forth in his memory, recalls, as best he can, his brother Hanny, a mute whom his dangerously-devout mother hoped to cure with sinister rituals. There was a child’s body washed up in the mud and thorns that lined the shore. Did something fantastic intrude into these grim everyday lives, or were those lives simply worse than we care to imagine? Hurley’s powerful prose and his intense sense of place and character bring to mind the best that the Gothic fiction genre has to offer. Read it before booking that cottage on the coast.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689210\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/perri-the_assistants-1-400x603.jpg\" alt=\"'The Assistants' by Camille Perri\" width=\"400\" height=\"603\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11689210\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/perri-the_assistants-1.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/perri-the_assistants-1-398x600.jpg 398w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘The Assistants’ by Camille Perri\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cem>The Assistants\u003c/em>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>by Camille Perri\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Camille Perri’s debut novel, \u003cem>The Assistants\u003c/em>, is narrated by Tina Fontana, assistant to a billionaire media mogul who pays for an hors d’oeuvre what she pays in rent for her tiny apartment. The luxury gap is alive and well, and Tina is staring at a student loan debt of $20,000. Circumstances offer her an exit that she takes with the tiniest moral pivot, but one step away from the straight and narrow leads to another step and another debt-riddled ex-student. As Tina takes us down a rabbit-hole of cascading consequences, Perri crafts a novel that offers a charming look at friendship, courtship and corporate shenanigans in the early 21st century. You may guess where all this is going — a scheme, perhaps? — but not how far. And having Tina as your guide is the kind of bonus that even a benevolent corporation can’t offer. She’s witty and gritty, with a perfectly honed predilection for salty language that brings on the laughs. You may read it in a day or two, but it will play in your brain for much longer than that. There are a lot of ways to break the glass ceiling; some may involve breaking, or at least bending the law.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689212\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover-400x625.jpg\" alt=\"'The Race' by Nina Allan\" width=\"400\" height=\"625\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11689212\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover-400x625.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover-384x600.jpg 384w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover-768x1200.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover-755x1180.jpg 755w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/Race-TitanCover.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘The Race’ by Nina Allan\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003cem>The Race\u003c/em>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>by Nina Allan\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>On the other side of the debut universe, or more likely in one adjacent to ours, you can find Nina Allan’s remarkable \u003cem>The Race\u003c/em>. In admirably direct prose, we meet Jenna Hoolman, who tells us about her life in Sapphire in a devastated future. The only game in town is smartdog racing, which involves humans bonded to dogs. “There’s a lot of hard-science stuff I don’t understand fully,” Jenna tells us. In fact the future itself seems a bit blurry, until Allan snaps it into crystal clear focus. Our narrator may not be who we think she is. And the smartdog-runner relationship may prove to have parallels even the most literary aficionados may not suspect. Rest assured this is not the science fiction you thought you were buying, but something even stranger and more powerful. Stories unfold within stories, fiction begets even stranger fictions set in more familiar places. Here’s the good news: the best means of gaining any perspective requires one to step away from the object you are trying to understand. It’s essential to preserve the mysteries at the heart of this astonishing novel. But as Nina Allan whipsaws your mind from this world to the next and back to this one, upon your return to wherever you were when you started \u003cem>The Race\u003c/em>, you will realize that perspective cuts two ways.

Barlough\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>The potential in fantasy literature for the weird is great, but the realization is low. We can thank Jeffrey E. Barlough, then, for his utterly unique Western Lights novels. They all stand alone, though they partake of the same backdrop — a sort of Victorian London plopped down in the American West and mid-west, sans gunpowder, but with mastodons, wooly mammoths and giant sloths roaming the hills. The latest entry, \u003cem>Where the Time Goes\u003c/em> finds Dr. Hugh Callender returning home to Dithering in the Lingonshire, to investigate the monster in Eldritch’s Cupboard, if indeed it even exists. The charm of Barlough’s work is that he writes as if he’s living in the world he has created with a lovely and enjoyably jolly faux-Victorian prose. He also loves his characters so much that you cannot help but feel the same. He creates real tension and when he dials up the creep factor, he can make your skin crawl with the merest suggestion. This is the ninth book in the series, so if you want to catch up while you wait for this one, there are plenty to read. Order is unimportant, but these books are an important reminder that the human imagination has no bounds. They also remind us that there is art in literature that simply cannot be experienced in any other way.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/arts/11670731/really-weird-books-for-fogged-in-coast-side-reading-this-summer","authors":["88"],"series":["arts_1439"],"categories":["arts_73","arts_835"],"tags":["arts_1118","arts_1006","arts_596"],"featImg":"arts_11670736","label":"arts_1439"},"arts_11665282":{"type":"posts","id":"arts_11665282","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"arts","id":"11665282","score":null,"sort":[1465682449000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"lets-go-out-to-the-movies-five-free-outdoor-movie-events","title":"Let's Go Out To The Movies: Five Free Outdoor Movie Events","publishDate":1465682449,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Let’s Go Out To The Movies: Five Free Outdoor Movie Events | KQED","labelTerm":{"term":1439,"site":"arts"},"content":"\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/series/hot-summer-days-and-nights-guide-2016/\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-11638282\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300.jpg 300w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-32x32.jpg 32w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-50x50.jpg 50w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-64x64.jpg 64w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-96x96.jpg 96w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-128x128.jpg 128w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/SummerArtsGuide-2016-300x300-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\u003c/a> The season of sunscreen and uncomfortably-sweaty elbow-creases is quickly coming upon us.

The impulse to leave reality in the rear-view mirror is particularly strong during the warm-weather months, when we seem to prefer stimulation to reason and fleeting experiences to profound ones. While we can always count on Hollywood to deliver bombast and pyrotechnics — and to spend millions on TV ads alerting us to every weekend’s fresh spectacles — we need a bit of variety.

The festival has expanded its outreach in recent years with docs that are less identifiably Jewish and speak to the broader community, such as this year’s A New Color: The Art of Being Edythe Boone (a portrait of the East Bay artist-teacher-activist) and Audrie & Daisy (an indictment of sexual attacks against teenage girls and the scourge of cyberbullying). SFJFF is also the perfect place to prepare, fortify and inoculate yourself against the remake of Ben-Hur (opening August 12).

Broader than many of Streep’s vehicles, Florence Foster Jenkins features tasty performances from Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg and on-the-mark direction by the perennially underrated Stephen Frears.

The impulse to leave reality in the rear-view mirror is particularly strong during the warm-weather months, when we seem to prefer stimulation to reason and fleeting experiences to profound ones. While we can always count on Hollywood to deliver bombast and pyrotechnics — and to spend millions on TV ads alerting us to every weekend’s fresh spectacles — we need a bit of variety.

(For those who’ve never seen the 1984 original, it screens July 7 in the “Waterfront Flicks” series on the ferry lawn at Jack London Square.)\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11670021\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/For-the-Love-of-Spock-400x319.jpg\" alt=\"'For the Love of Spock'\" width=\"400\" height=\"319\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-11670021\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/For-the-Love-of-Spock-400x319.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/For-the-Love-of-Spock-752x600.jpg 752w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/For-the-Love-of-Spock-768x612.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/06/For-the-Love-of-Spock.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">‘For the Love of Spock’\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"http://jfi.org/festival/sfjff-2016/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">San Francisco Jewish Film Festival\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>July 21 – Aug. 7\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>The 36th annual roundup of movies from Israel, the U.S., Europe and South America makes room for everyone from TV pioneer Norman Lear to assassinated Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, author Philip Roth to Nazi prosecutor Fritz Bauer. The festival has expanded its outreach in recent years with docs that are less identifiably Jewish and speak to the broader community, such as this year’s A New Color: The Art of Being Edythe Boone (a portrait of the East Bay artist-teacher-activist) and Audrie & Daisy (an indictment of sexual attacks against teenage girls and the scourge of cyberbullying). SFJFF is also the perfect place to prepare, fortify and inoculate yourself against the remake of Ben-Hur (opening August 12).

In this late-summer crowd-pleaser, La Streep plays another erstwhile musician, a real-life 1940s Manhattan socialite who used her wealth and influence to pursue a singing career despite the minor disadvantage of possessing an awful voice. Broader than many of Streep’s vehicles, Florence Foster Jenkins features tasty performances from Hugh Grant and Simon Helberg and on-the-mark direction by the perennially underrated Stephen Frears.

And while the traditional dance season is formally over, an extraordinary variety of live dance performances continue unabated in the Bay Area through the summer. While a few familiar names and classic works pop up, you’ll run into many new faces and new ideas of what dance could be. So, for those needing some adventure in their lives, might I suggest having a summer fling with dance, and if the affair doesn’t last, bury your disappointment in the sand and surf, or in the mists atop Mount Tam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11636461\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11636461\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/EDF16_GSJ_0796_7x5-760x600.jpg\" alt=\"Dewa Ayu Dewi Larassanti, Gamelan Sekar Jaya (Photo: RJ Muna)\" width=\"760\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/EDF16_GSJ_0796_7x5-760x600.jpg 760w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/EDF16_GSJ_0796_7x5-400x316.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/EDF16_GSJ_0796_7x5-768x606.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/EDF16_GSJ_0796_7x5-1180x931.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/EDF16_GSJ_0796_7x5-1920x1515.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/05/EDF16_GSJ_0796_7x5-960x757.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dewa Ayu Dewi Larassanti, Gamelan Sekar Jaya (Photo: RJ Muna)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch3>The 38th Annual San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival\u003c/h3>\n\u003ch5>June 3 – 19\u003cbr>\nPalace of Fine Arts, San Francisco & San Francisco City Hall\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://worldartswest.org/main/home.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Information and tickets\u003c/a>\u003c/h5>\n\u003cp>Of the 32 troupes brought together this year to celebrate the crazy quilt that is San Francisco, 12 are brand new, covering a range of traditions from Senegalese to Tajik, Korean, Spanish flamenco, Afro-Nicaraguan, and more.
