Our friends at are thrilled to be hosting their friend Jerry Hsu ( ) this Saturday (9/12, 4-6) at Arcana for a book signing and discussion with longtime collaborator and Arcana Books manager, celebrating Jerry’s captivating and coveted new book from HOW ABOUT NEVER.

“Bringing together photographs Jerry Hsu has made in Los Angeles since 2011, How About Never is occupied with the almost sentient character of the city. Hsu’s photographs are sensitively attuned to the contradictions of the place, entangling allusions to hope and despair, beauty and pain in an atmospheric and uncanny sequence. Images of disfigured fences and physical injuries are interwoven with spontaneous compositions: a discarded toilet, a blood-stained mattress, crashed cars, a bank ominously aflame. Portraits seek an intimacy with their subjects among the disrepair and cruelty of the urban environment. These disparate and dissonant strands reach a beguiling harmony, together looking to destruction as a potential source of change and rebirth”.

AND Jerry has made an exclusive, limited edition Sci-Fi Fantasy T-Shirt for the event that will be available to those in attendance (sorry - no pre-orders for the shirt).

Enjoy cold drinks, good company, Jerry and Jesse bantering, and signed, first printings of a really, really, really great photobook. No RSVP is needed.

If you can’t be there, but would like your very own signed copy of How About Never you can order it on the Arcana website (link in comments).

Two new desserts from . Two very different love languages.

The Cinque Sensi Chocolate Cake — layered chocolate sponge, Guanaja dark chocolate filling, hazelnut Bavarian cream, and a crunchy chocolate cereal disk. for the ones who want it rich, dark, and a little dangerous.

The Torta della Nonna — crumbly buttery shortcrust pastry, smooth custard cream scented with fresh Amalfi lemon zest, toasted pine nuts. for the ones who want something that tastes like a hug from Italy.

Whichever one you are — they’ve got you.

Painted battleship gray, the residence overlooking Eucalyptus Hill has an almost industrial presence from the exterior. But one glimpse through the elegant entrance tells a completely different story. Beyond, expansive floor to ceiling sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, framing unobstructed views that are nothing short of breathtaking.
