Truong Tran reads from and signs How to Exi(s)t, his poetry memoir about leaving academia, in conversation with poets Prageeta Sharma and Mimi Tempestt.
A Pasadena institution that feels gloriously stuck in time, with creaky wood floors, handwritten staff picks, and the quiet confidence of a place that’s been outsmarting Amazon for decades. Wander the aisles long enough and you’ll forget your phone exists, which feels both radical and deeply correct.
