The collection is built around the idea of keys — to a house, to a heart, or to a secret— which may unlock elements of her characters’ lives, only to promise further labyrinths on the other side. Is a key a gate, a gift, or an invitation? A mystical diary, a house of locks, a puppeteering school, locked libraries and hidden gardens: Oyeyemi’s tales span times, landscapes, and varieties of desire as they tease boundaries between coexisting realities. Oyeyemi talks about her work with her good friend [Catherine Chung](http://www.catherinechung.com/?ref=bklyner.com), award-winning author of the novel *Forgotten Country*, followed by a book signing and wine reception. ![larry murphy at myrtle comedy via splitting](/content/images/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Screen-Shot-2014-07-03-at-9.56.51-AM.png) ****[Comedy Show](https://www.facebook.com/fivespotsoulfood/photos/a.297218836749.154476.138343356749/10152628313236750/?type=1&theater)** ****When: Fridays at 8pm** ****Where: Five Spot Soul Food at 459 Myrtle Avenue** ****What: Free comedy show every Friday night.** **[Karaoke Night](https://instagram.com/p/0GnU8LEHZ3/?taken-by=sip%5Fbar&ref=bklyner.com)** **When:** Fridays from 8pm-12am **Where:** SIP Bar at 14 Putnam Avenue **What:** Every Friday night.

Gus lives in a big park in the middle of an even bigger city, and he spends his days with Ida. Ida is right there. Always. Then one sad day, Gus learns that Ida is very sick, and she isn’t going to get better. The friends help each other face the difficult news with whispers, sniffles, cuddles, and even laughs. Slowly Gus realizes that even after Ida is gone, she will still be with him—through the sounds of their city, and the memories that live in their favorite spots. Join Caron for a story time presentation including activities to explore the sounds of our city, our emotions, and the people and places we hold in our hearts, always.
