SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Oliver Gee [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:*Covid-19 Update: This fall\, the Library’s Evening with an Author series will continue to meet virtually\, via Zoom. These events\, which are free and open to the public\, require advance sign up. Evenings with an Author programs begin at 19h30 (Central European Time). Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \nJoin us for an evening with Oliver Gee!\nFollow this link to register. \nOliver Gee is an Australian who’s been in Paris since 2015. He arrived as a journalist\, but now makes a living as the host of the hugely popular Paris travel podcast “The Earful Tower”. This year\, he released his laugh-out-loud memoir\, Paris On Air\, which he will discuss with us live on Zoom. Oliver will give an entertaining performance and host a lively Q&A in which he’ll talk about publishing a book during a lockdown\, cancelling a mega US book tour and doing it virtually instead\, and the perks and perils of life as a podcaster in the City of Light.\n\n\n \nIn Paris On Air\, Oliver Gee tells of how five years in France taught him how to order cheese\, make a Parisian person smile\, and convince anyone you can fake French (even if\, like Oliver\, you speak the language like an Australian cow). \nA fresh voice on the Paris scene\, he shares the soaring highs and crushing lows that come with following your dreams to the French capital. \nHe also befriends the city’s too-cool-for-school basketballers\, chases runaway crocodiles\, and goes on a mammoth honeymoon trip around France on his little red scooter.\nTo order\, please visit www.theearfultower.com/memoir. \n  \n  \n  \nEvenings with an Author are generously sponsored by GRoW @ Annenberg

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Eula Biss in conversation with Susan Harlan [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:*Covid-19 Update: This fall\, the Library’s Evening with an Author series will continue to meet virtually\, via Zoom. These events\, which are free and open to the public\, require advance sign up. Evenings with an Author programs begin at 19h30 (Central European Time). Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \nPlease click here to register. \nJoin us for an interview with Eula Biss about her newest book\, Having and Being Had\, moderated by Susan Harlan. \n“My adult life can be divided into two distinct parts\,” Eula Biss writes\, “the time before I owned a washing machine and the time after.” Having just purchased her first home\, the poet and essayist now embarks on a provocative exploration of the value system she has bought into. Through a series of engaging exchanges— in libraries and laundromats\, over barstools and backyard fences— she examines our assumptions about class and property and the ways we internalize the demands of capitalism. Described by The New York Times as a writer who “advances from all sides\, like a chess player\,” Biss offers an uncommonly immersive and deeply revealing new portrait of work and luxury\, of accumulation and consumption\, of the value of time and how we spend it. Ranging from IKEA to Beyoncé to Pokemon\, Biss asks\, of both herself and her class\, “In what have we invested?” \nEula Biss is the author of four books\, most recently Having and Being Had\, which Cathy Park Hong calls “a revelatory and necessary primer on how late capitalism affects our daily lives.” Biss holds an MFA in nonfiction writing from the University of Iowa and has been teaching writing at Northwestern University for fifteen years. Her book On Immunity was named one of the Ten Best Books of 2014 by the New York Times Book Review and Notes from No Man’s Land won the National Book Critics Circle Award for criticism in 2009. Her work has been translated into over ten languages and has been recognized by a Guggenheim Fellowship\, a National Endowment for the Arts Literature Fellowship\, a Howard Foundation Fellowship\, a Rona Jaffe Writers’ Award\, a 21st Century Award from the Chicago Public Library\, and a Pushcart Prize. Her essays and poems have recently appeared in the New Yorker\, the Guardian\, the Times Literary Supplement\, The Believer\, Harper’s\, and the New York Times Magazine. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n \nSusan Harlan’s essays have appeared in venues including The Guardian US\, The Paris Review Daily\, Guernica\, Roads & Kingdoms\, Literary Hub\, The Common\, Racked\, The Brooklyn Quarterly\, The Bitter Southerner\, and Public Books. Her book Luggage takes readers on a journey with the suitcases that support\, accessorize\, and accompany our lives. She also writes satire for McSweeney’s Internet Tendency\, The Billfold\, Avidly\, Queen Mob’s Tea House\, The Hairpin\, The Belladonna\, Janice\, and The Establishment\, and her humor book Decorating a Room of One’s Own: Conversations on Interior Design with Miss Havisham\, Jane Eyre\, Victor Frankenstein\, Elizabeth Bennet\, Ishmael\, and Other Literary Notables was published by Abrams last October. She teaches English literature at Wake Forest University. \n  \n  \n  \nEvenings with an Author are generously sponsored by GRoW @ Annenberg

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: François-Xavier Fauvelle [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:*Covid-19 Update: This fall\, the Library’s Evening with an Author series will continue to meet virtually\, via Zoom. These events\, which are free and open to the public\, require advance sign up. Evenings with an Author programs begin at 19h30 (Central European Time). Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \nPlease join us for a book talk on The Golden Rhinoceros: Histories of the African Middle Ages\nClick here to sign up! \nFrom the birth of Islam in the seventh century to the voyages of European exploration in the fifteenth\, Africa was at the center of a vibrant exchange of goods and ideas. It was an African golden age in which places like Ghana\, Nubia\, and Zimbabwe became the crossroads of civilizations\, and where African royals\, thinkers\, and artists played celebrated roles in the globalized world of the Middle Ages.  Francois-Xavier Fauvelle brings this unsung era marvelously to life\, taking readers from the Sahara and the Nile River Valley to the Ethiopian highlands and southern Africa. Drawing on fragmented written sources as well as his many years of experience as an archaeologist\, Fauvelle painstakingly reconstructs an African past that is too often denied its place in history. \n  \nFrançois-Xavier Fauvelle received his PhD from the University of Paris-I-Panthéon-Sorbonne\, where he specialized in the history of Africa. Since 2002\, he has been affiliated with the CNRS and the Institute for African Studies  in Aix-en-Provence. He spent time as a researcher in the US\, Ethiopia\, and South Africa. Since returning to France in 2009\, he joined a research team\, TRACES\, at the University of Toulouse-II-Jean-Jaurès. With his colleagues François Bon and Caroline Robion-Brunner\, he created “le Pôle Afrique\,” a research initiative bringing together archaologists specializing in Africa and doctoral students\, some originating from Africa\, pursuing doctoral research in the field. He has been a professor at the Collège de France since 2019. \nTo order the book at a special discounted rate\, please visit https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691181264/the-golden-rhinoceros \n(Use code FAU20 at checkout to receive a 30% discount on sterling and euro + p&p) \n  \nEvenings with an Author are generously sponsored by GRoW @ Annenberg

It turns out that nothing in the City of Light can be taken for granted\, where even trips to the grocery store lead to adventure.

SUMMARY:Evenings with an Author: Peter Gumbel in conversation with Charles Fleming [Virtual Public Event; RSVP Required]
DESCRIPTION:*Covid-19 Update: This fall\, the Library’s Evening with an Author series will continue to meet virtually\, via Zoom. These events\, which are free and open to the public\, require advance sign up. Evenings with an Author programs begin at 19h30 (Central European Time). Please check eLibris or our programs calendar for updates and line-up. \nPlease click here to register. \n\nCitizens of Everywhere: Searching for Identity in the Age of Brexit\n\nIn 1939\, with Europe on the brink of war\, Peter Gumbel’s grandparents fled Nazi Germany for England. In 2019\, appalled by the result of the Brexit referendum and the ugliness it exposed in the UK’s politics and wider society\, he became a citizen of Germany\, the country that had persecuted his grandparents eighty years earlier. How had it come to this? In his latest book\, Citizens of Everywhere\, Gumbel uses the story of his family to explore existential issues of identity and belonging in today’s unsettled world. In this Evening with an Author\, he will discuss the essay and reflect on its key themes: the resurgence of a nationalistic world view\, the growing multiplicity of identity in the digital age\, and a surprising reversal of roles as Germany replaces Britain as the hope-bearer in Europe.\n\n\n \n  \nPeter Gumbel is a Paris-based writer and editor. He spent sixteen years at the Wall Street Journal\, including postings in New York\, Moscow\, Berlin\, and Los Angeles\, and moved to Paris in 2002 to cover European business and the economy for Time Magazine. In 2006\, the Work Foundation named him Journalist of the Year. He is the author of four books on France\, including a best-selling critique of the French education system\, On achève bien les écoliers (“They Shoot School Kids\, Don’t They?”) \nPeter will be interviewed by Charles Fleming\, a communications consultant and former Wall Street Journal reporter. \n  \nTo purchase Citizens of Everywhere\, click here. \nEvenings with an Author are generously sponsored by GRoW @ Annenberg
