Writing The Body In Memoir: How To Work With What Our Bodies Know
BOOK TALK & LISTENING SESSION
This event is over, it happened on
June 17, 2026 at Local Economy in Oakland, CA
Part author talk, part listening session — Oakland author Matt Fogelson brings the soundtrack of his memoir Restrung: Fatherhood in a Different Key to life, from the Velvet Underground to the Sex Pistols to Soundgarden. Restrung is about music, grief, and the emotional distance between fathers and sons — and what it takes to bridge it. For this evening, Matt distills that story into six songs.
