SUMMARY:(Online) Sober Curious with Ruby Warrington
DESCRIPTION:Join Evenings with an Author (online) to discuss \nSober Curious\nwith author Ruby Warrington \nClick here to RSVP\nIn author and editor Ruby Warrington’s Sober Curious\, she dares to ask a question that many adults fear: what would happen if we reconsidered our relationship to alcohol\, and gave it up voluntarily? How would our bodies\, minds\, sleeping habits\, and productivity levels change? What could a life without alcohol look like? \nIn response\, she formulates the path of the “sober curious”: not a sober lifestyle following an alcohol use disorder\, but a series of steps taken by someone considering cutting alcohol out of their life to explore how their life might change. Leading by example\, Warrington describes how her own relationship to alcohol changed as she gained distance from it\, and how this distance revealed dependencies and physical reactions to alcohol to which she had previously been blind. She encourages readers to recognize their own blindspots when it comes to drinking\, and to begin to reconsider why and how alcohol consumption has become the standard in adult life. The choice to go “sober curious” brings a series of lifestyle changes which readers may find challenging\, yet Warrington’s encouraging and nonjudgmental voice offers the perfect blend of practical advice and motivational mantras\, making a more empowered\, alcohol-conscious life accessible to all.  \nClick here to RSVP\nAbout the speaker: \nRuby Warrington is an author\, editor\, and book doula. She has authored four books\, including Sober Curious (2018)\, The Sober Curious Reset (2020)\, and The Numinous Astro Deck (2019). Warrington is the host of the podcast Sober Curious\, and founder of the self-publishing imprint Numinous Books.  \nRegistration required. Free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) The Family Chao with Lan Samantha Chang
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nJoin Evenings with an Author (in person and online*) to discuss \nThe Family Chao\nwith author Lan Samantha Chang \nClick here to RSVP\nLan Samantha Chang’s latest novel\, The Family Chao\, gives new life to the ancient story of the son (allegedly) killing the father. Reminiscent of Dostoevsky’s Brothers Karamazov\, the work is catalyzed by the murder of a patriarch upon the homecoming of his three sons. Here\, patricide is exceptionally used to explore racist and anti-immigrant attitudes latent in American society\, showing how crisis pushes these sentiments to the surface. Set largely in and around the family Chinese restaurant\, this is a brilliant story of hunger and consumption: devouring traditional and Americanized dishes\, media\, and ideology\, characters are glutted on the drama of the murder\, the spectacle of an ensuing trial\, and the tantalizing mythology of the American dream. Chang will be in conversation with Alex Capdeville.  \nClick here to RSVP\nAbout the speaker: \nLan Samantha Chang is the author of four books\, including the novels Inheritance (2004) and All is Forgotten\, Nothing is Lost (2010). She is the Elizabeth M. Stanley Professor in the Arts at the University of Iowa and the Director of the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Chang has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, and the American Academy in Berlin. Her writing has appeared in The Atlantic Monthly\, Ploughshares\, and The Best American Short Stories. She was a 2015 recipient of the Library’s Visiting Fellowship\, sponsored by The de Groot Foundation. \nAlex Capdeville lives in Paris with his wife and five-year old daughter\, and works as a set constructor for French TV. He has published a translation of his short story “The Stranger Chain” in the French review Rue Saint Ambroise\, as well as an author interview with Ethel Rohan in the online magazine Scoundrel Time.  \nRegistration required.  \n*The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (Chang and Capdeville will appear in the Reading Room)\, the Library will stream the conversation on Zoom for a live viewing experience. Both in-person and online attendees will be able to pose questions. \nClick here to RSVP\n•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• \nImportant on-site information regarding COVID-19: Masks remain strongly recommended\, per the French Ministry of Health. \n \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
