Author Reading | Author Talk & Book Discussion on Audition by Katie Kitamura (In Person AND Online!)
At this book club/author talk, the book will be Katie Kitamura's Audition, an exhilarating, destabilizing Mobius strip of a novel that asks whether we ever really know the people we love. Synopsis: Two people meet for lunch in a Manhattan restaurant. She's an accomplished actress in rehearsals for an upcoming premiere. He's attractive, troubling, young--young enough to be her son. Who is he to her, and who is she to him? In this compulsively readable, brilliantly constructed novel, two competing narratives unspool, rewriting our understanding of the roles we play every day - partner, parent, creator, muse - and the truths every performance masks, especially from those who think they know us most intimately. The author and readers everywhere will join a live conversation, in-person or online.

Author Reading | Hear National Book Foundation Honoree Discuss Her New Book
Author Jemimah Wei discusses her new novel The Original Daughter with fellow writer Gina Chung. Book synopsis: Before Arin, Genevieve Yang was an only child. Living with her parents and grandmother in a single-room flat in working-class Bedok, Genevieve is saddled with an unexpected sibling when Arin appears, the shameful legacy of a grandfather long believed to be dead. As the two girls grow closer, they must navigate the intensity of life in a place where the urgent insistence on achievement demands constant sacrifice. Knowing that failure is not an option, the sisters learn to depend entirely on one another as they spurn outside friendships, leisure, and any semblance of a social life in pursuit of academic perfection and passage to a better future. When a stinging betrayal violently estranges Genevieve and Arin, Genevieve must weigh the value of ambition versus familial love, home versus the outside world, and allegiance to herself versus allegiance to the people who made her who she is. In the story of a family and its contention with the roiling changes of our rapidly modernizing, winner-take-all world, The Original Daughter is a major literary debut, rife with emotional clarity and searing social insight. Jemimah Wei is a National Book Foundation 5 under 35 Honouree, William Van Dyke Short Story Prize winner, and was a Wallace Stegner Fellow at Stanford University and Felipe P. De Alba Fellow at Columbia University. A recipient of awards and fellowships from Singapore’s National Arts Council, Hemmingway House, Sewanee Writers’ Conference, Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference, and Writers in Paradise, her writing has appeared in Joyland, Guernica, and Narrative, amongst others.

Author Reading | Learning about the New Jewish School of Music with Researcher & Author (Online!)
The history of the “New Jewish School of Music” began when several music students from the St. Petersburg Conservatory founded the Society for Jewish Folk Music in St. Petersburg in 1908. The end of this movement came with the 1938 invasion of Austria by Germany and the dissolution of the Viennese Society for the Promotion of Jewish Music that same year. The fascinating and dramatic history of the New Jewish School is the subject of From St. Petersburg to Vienna: The New Jewish School in Music (1908-1938) As Part of the Jewish Cultural Renaissance by Jascha Nemtsov. While many other national "schools" of music—such as the Russian, Czech, and Hungarian—were able to develop freely and establish themselves in an environment of cultural transparency, the Jewish school was violently suppressed. From St. Petersburg to Vienna was first published in 2004 in German, focusing on the reconstruction of the Jewish school’s historical development in Russia and, after 1917, increasingly in other Eastern and Central European countries. Attend a discussion with Nemtsov about this recently-revised and translated edition of the book.

Author Reading | Cartoonist Guy Delisle Discusses His New Book
Critically-acclaimed cartoonist Guy Delisle provides a conversation about his latest engrossing foray into nonfiction, Muyridge, with fellow artist Sarah Glidden. Critically-acclaimed cartoonist Guy Delisle (Pyongyang, Hostage) returns with another engrossing foray into nonfiction: a biography about Eadweard Muydbridge, the man whomade pictures move. Despite career breakthrough after career breakthrough, Muybridge would only be hampered by betrayal, intrigue, and tragedy. Delisle’s keen eye for details that often go unnoticed in search of a broader emotional truth brings this historical figure and those around him to life through an uncompromising lens. Translated from the French by Helge Dascher & Rob Aspinall, Muybridge turns a spotlight on what lives in the shadow of an individual’s ambition for greatness, and proves that Eadweard Muybridge deserves to be far more than just another historical footnote. Guy Delisle spent ten years working in animation, which allowed him to learn about movement and drawing. He is best known for his travelogues about life in faraway countries, Burma Chronicles, Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City, Pyongyang, and Shenzhen. In 2012, Guy Delisle was awarded the Prize for Best Album for the French edition of Jerusalem at the Angoulême International Comics Festival.

Author Reading | Legal Advocate Maria Foscarinis Discusses Her Book on Ending Homelessness
Groundbreaking legal advocate Maria Foscarinis discusses her book And Housing for All: The Fight to End Homelessness in America with New York Times opinion writer Binyamin Appelbaum. In And Housing for All, founder of the National Homelessness Law Center Maria Foscarinis reveals the human impact of the housing crisis by sharing personal stories and examining the flawed policies that have perpetuated it. As millions face rising housing costs and encampments spread nationwide, she uncovers why past efforts have failed and what must change to achieve lasting solutions. Drawing from over 35 years of national advocacy, Foscarinis shares compelling stories of individuals and families impacted by homelessness, highlighting their resilience and growing leadership. Blending personal narratives with policy analysis, she reveals how deliberate decisions have fueled the crisis and how public narratives have sustained it. And Housing for All is essential reading for social justice advocates, policymakers, lawyers, and anyone invested in solving one of America’s most pressing challenges. Maria Foscarinis founded the National Homelessness Law Center (formerly known as the National Law Center on Homelessness & Poverty) in 1985 to mount a campaign for a federal response to the crisis which was just beginning to explode across the country. The Law Center won legal victories including the only major federal legislation addressing homelessness—now known and the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act—, upholding education rights for homeless children, converting vacant properties to housing, and combatting the criminalization of homelessness, while also laying the groundwork for the recognition of housing as a human right. She has been named a Human Rights Hero by the American Bar Association, and is a recipient of the Katharine and George Alexander Law Prize from Santa Clara University School of Law, the John Macy Award from the National Alliance to End Homelessness, and more.

Author Reading | Author & Performer Discusses His New Book about Displaced Music Culture in NYC
Author and pioneering klezmer performer Walter Zev Feldman discusses his book From the Bronx to the Bosphorus: Klezmer and Other Displaced Musics of New York with Princeton Professor of Near Eastern Studies András P. Hámori. From the Bronx to the Bosphorus explores the vibrant, yet largely concealed, musical culture of New York, tracing its origins to a period when the city served as a crucible for immigrants and their diverse musical expressions. Walter Zev Feldman chronicles his journey through the musical landscapes of post-WWII New York—from the declining world of East European immigrant klezmorim to the dynamic environments of Greek, Armenian and Caucasian musicians. The episodes from his earlier life related here portray the mysterious legacy of these forgotten ancestors in mid-twentieth century New York. Walter Zev Feldman is a leading researcher in both Ottoman Turkish and Jewish music. During the 1970s he spearheaded the revival of klezmer music. Today he is a performer on the klezmer dulcimer, the cimbal, and on the Ottoman lute, the tanbur. He had taught at Princeton, the University of Pennsylvania, Bar Ilan University and at NYU Abu Dhabi. Between 2011 and 2015 he researched the Jewish, Roma and Greek musical traditions of Moldova/Bessarabia, sponsored by NYU Abu Dhabi. Feldman is also an authority on Ashkenazic dance, forming part of his current research on the role of gesture in the performing arts, which he taught in the NYU Abu Dhabi core course “Gesture” (2013-15) and in NYU on the Square (2018). In 2017 he gave a series of workshops on this topic in Tokyo, Moscow, and Montreal. In 2004 he co-directed the successful application of the Mevlevi Dervishes of Turkey as a Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity for UNESCO.

Author Reading | A Musical Journey Across Cultures
Blending memoir and musical history, From the Bronx to the Bosphorus uncovers the vibrant, multicultural music scene of post-WWII New York. Feldman traces his journey from the East European klezmorim of the Bronx to the Armenian and Greek nightclubs of Manhattan, and ultimately to the klezmer revival of the late 1970s. Along the way, he encounters musicians from a range of traditions--including an Armenian virtuoso who once played for Stalin and the Shah of Iran--and studies with Dave Tarras, the greatest klezmer clarinetist of his generation. Rich with personal stories and cultural insight, this book is a celebration of music's power to connect communities across time and place.

Author Reading | Biology Expert Discusses His New Book on the Secret Sex Lives of Animals
Evolutionary biologist Nathan H. Lents joins us to discuss his latest book, The Sexual Evolution, about the secret sex lives (and sexual diversity) of animals with science writer and author of Been There, Done That: A Rousing History of Sex, Rachel Feltman. In The Sexual Evolution, Lents’s storytelling is as fascinating as it is topical, offering eye-opening stories about the diversity of animal life, while relating it to our own sexual journey as a species. . Nature, it turns out, has made a lot of space for diverse genders and sexual behaviors. And why? Because when it comes to evolution—diversity wins. This is not just a political or social message, instead it’s rooted in science and cultivated from understanding the full breadth of sexuality that exists throughout the world. At once a forceful rebuttal to bigotry and a captivating dive into the secret sex lives of animals, The Sexual Evolution is the rare book of pop science that leans into the controversy. Nathan H. Lents is a professor of biology at John Jay College, CUNY, and the author of Not So Different: Finding Human Nature in Animals and Human Errors: A Panorama of Our Glitches, from Pointless Bones to Broken Genes. He has appeared as a scientific expert in a range of national media, including The TODAY Show, NPR, Access Hollywood, 48 Hours, and Al Jazeera America.

Author Reading | MacArthur Fellow Discusses His Memoir about Blindness & Disability
Scientist Joshua Miele shares insights about life and disability from his extraordinary memoir, Connecting Dots: A Blind Life, with fellow writer and professor Andrew Leland. At the age of four, Joshua Miele was blinded and badly burned when a neighbor poured sulfuric acid over his head. It could have ended his life, but instead, Miele—naturally curious, and a born problem solver—not only recovered, but thrived. Throughout his life, Miele has found increasingly inventive ways to succeed in a world built for the sighted, and to help others to do the same. At first reluctant to even think of himself as blind, he eventually embraced his blindness and became a committed advocate for disability and accessibility. Along the way, he grappled with drugs and addiction, played bass in a rock band, worked for NASA, became a guerilla activist, and married the love of his life and had two children. He chronicles the evolution of a number of revolutionary accessible technologies and his role in shaping them, including screen readers, tactile maps, and audio description. Connecting Dots delivers a captivating first-person perspective on blindness and disability as incisive as it is entertaining, and ultimately triumphant. Joshua Miele's story is one of one ordinary blind life with an indelible impact. Dr. Joshua A. Miele is a prominent blind scientist, designer, and thought leader in accessible technology and disability. He is a recipient of the 2021 MacArthur “genius” fellowship, an Amazon Design Scholar, and Distinguished Fellow at UC Berkeley’s Othering and Belonging Institute. He is known for creating inclusive technologies that address critical needs and challenge societal assumptions, and for speaking with frank humor and directness about the lived disability experience.
