Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes The Seated Diesels back to the store to discuss Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante on Tuesday, April 8th at 7pm.

Days of Abandonment tells the story of Olga, who feels an "absence of sense" after her husband abruptly announces that he wants to leave her, gently shuts the door, and disappears. Despite herself, she falls apart. Overwhelmed by small tasks, neglecting her children and her appearance, she spirals into self-pity, fury, despair, and near-madness. But in peering into the void, in falling headlong into it, she comes to grips with the dark psychology of the abandoned.

This event is free and all are welcome and encouraged to attend!
