Join The Booksmith as they welcome the author Jason Diamond on Thursday, January 19th at 7:30 pm in 1644 Haight Street, San Francisco, California.

Diamond will be having a book talk and signing on his new memoir, “Searching for John Hughes: Or Everything I Thought I Needed to Know about Life I Learned from Watching ‘80s Movies.” The hilarious and poignant book is about the story of how a Jewish kid from a broken family in a Chicago suburb found comfort and connection in the people living in the suburban Chicago of John Hughes’ oeuvre who has the same situation as him.

This memoir is one part big dream, one part bug failure, one part John Hughes, one part Chicago, and one part New York. It inspires the young creatives to pursue their dreams – no matter how absurd they might seem at first.
