SUMMARY:(Hybrid) The Forgotten Soldiers of D-Day with Linda Hervieux and Raymond Kemp
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]African Americans served with bravery and distinction in every conflict since the American Revolution. Yet the stories of these heroes have been consistently omitted from our collective memory. From the now-famed Tuskegee airmen to the 320th Barrage Balloon Battalion\, D-Day’s only all-Black combat unit\, modern historians have been tasked with setting the record straight.  \nAs we approach the 80th anniversary of D-Day\, join the author of Forgotten: The Untold Story of D-Day’s Black Heroes\, Linda Hervieux\, and Commissioner of the American Battle Monuments Commission Raymond Kemp as they discuss the achievements of the more than one million African American men and women who served in uniform during World War II. \nAbout the speakers: \nLinda Hervieux is a Paris-based American journalist and teacher who has lectured extensively about the forgotten African Americans of D-Day and World War II at venues including Harvard\, Princeton\, and the National African American Museum of History and Culture in Washington\, D.C. The men of Forgotten will be featured in an episode of the upcoming National Geographic/Disney+ series Erased: WW2’s Heroes of Color. \nRaymond D. Kemp\, Sr.\, was appointed by President Biden to the American Battle Monuments Commission. During a 33-year career in the U.S. Navy\, Kemp served as the first Black Fleet Master Chief for the U.S. Naval Forces Europe and Africa. He is the CEO of Kemp Solutions\, a best-selling author\, and executive coach.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nTom Brokaw calls Linda’s book “utterly compelling\,” and best-selling historian Douglas Brinkley writes\, “All Americans should read this World War II history\, which doubles as a civil rights primer\, to learn the true cost of freedom.”[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person. While the conversation will happen in person (the speakers 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. \nAttendance at this event constitutes permission for your photograph or video to be taken at the event and used by the American Library in Paris for marketing\, promotional\, pedagogical\, or other purposes.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]Read along with the Library! If you want to prepare ahead of this event\, copies of Forgotten will be on sale one week in advance\, as well as after the event. Stop by Member Services to purchase your copy.

In her new collection Solutions for the Problems of Bodies in Space\, Barnett probes the complexities of love\, loss\, and deliberate living.  \nMaureen McLane’s new book\, My Poetics\, explores poems as speculative instruments and as ways of registering our very sense of being alive.  \nBarnett and McLane will read and discuss loneliness as a source of artistic creation and the urgency of poetry in an increasingly isolating world.  \nJoin us as we explore the problems of being human brought into new relief through the contours of poetry.  \nAbout the speakers: \nCatherine Barnett is the author of four poetry collections\, including Solutions for the Problem of Bodies in Space (2024 Graywolf); Human Hours (New York Times “Best Poetry of 2018” selection); The Game of Boxes (James Laughlin Award); and Into Perfect Spheres Such Holes Are Pierced (Beatrice Hawley Award).

SUMMARY:(Online Only) A Personal History of Protest with Jen Silverman
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In There’s Going to Be Trouble\, a young teacher seeking new beginnings arrives in Paris as the Gilet Jaune protests are gaining momentum. Drawn into a love affair and the political turmoil simultaneously\, she struggles to distinguish between the overlapping passions of her new life. Accompanying this story is the discovery of a hidden family history of protest nearly fifty years prior\, in the late 1960s. As secrets of political alignment and engagement come to light\, our narrator discovers that the past and its consequences are nearer than she knew. \nJen Silverman presents a portrait that echoes across history\, and a searching investigation into the responsibilities we hold to past\, the present\, and future generations.  \nAbout the speaker: \nJen Silverman (they/them) is a novelist\, playwright\, and screenwriter. Their books include the debut novel We Play Ourselves (named one of the best books of the year by Buzzfeed; a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award)\, interlinked story collection The Island Dwellers (finalist for a PEN/Robert W. Bingham Prize)\, and novel There’s Going to be Trouble\, newly out from Random House. Their plays include Spain\, Witch\, Collective Rage: A Play In 5 Betties\, and The Roommate\, and have been produced off-Broadway\, across the US\, and internationally in countries including Australia\, The Czech Republic\, Brazil\, and the UK. Silverman wrote The Miranda Obsession as a narrative podcast for Audible\, starring Rachel Brosnahan; it debuted at #3 in Fiction on Audible’s weekly best-seller list and won four Signal Awards.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) The Shakespeare Industry with Elizabeth Winkler
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Shakespeare’s personal biography has mystified academics\, armchair fans\, and experts for centuries. So what happens when a scholar\, an actor\, or any authority\, suggests that perhaps those immortal plays weren’t all written by Shakespeare? Was the author an anonymous aristocrat? Or a spy? Perhaps a woman? \nShakespeare Was A Woman and Other Heresies by Elizabeth Winkler is an “extraordinarily brilliant” and “pleasurably naughty” (André Aciman) investigation into the Shakespeare authorship question. Winkler explores with humor\, fun\, and hell-bent detection\, all sorts of possibilities. But that’s only part of it. Winkler does much more than suggest alternatives; she delves into why doubters have been castigated\, and thrown to the literary curb. No matter what side you’re on\, Shakespeare Was A Woman And Other Heresies is more than a detective book for fans of Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets—it’s a fascinating and truly entertaining analysis of literary and cultural history. \n“No\, Elizabeth Winkler doesn’t reveal the true identity of the writer Ruth Bader Ginsburg termed “the literary genius known by the name William Shakespeare.” But she does explain how we’ve wound up with\, among an army of others\, a republican Shakespeare and a monarchist Shakespeare\, a Shakespeare who hated his wife and one who loved his\, a Shakespeare who wrote all the plays and a Shakespeare who could not write at all. Along her intrepid way\, Winkler charts\, with refreshing clarity\, the much-contested ground underfoot\, studded with flinty convictions\, gnarled fictions\, and a surprising number of land mines.”\n—Stacy Schiff\, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Revolutionary and American Library in Paris Writer-in-Residence \nAbout the speaker: \nElizabeth Winkler is a journalist and critic whose work has appeared in the Wall Street Journal\, the New Yorker\, the New Republic\, the Times Literary Supplement\, and the Economist\, among other publications. She received her undergraduate degree from Princeton University and her master’s in English literature from Stanford University. She lives in Washington\, DC.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Learn more: \nRead excerpts from Winkler’s book on Martin Droeshout’s portrait of Shakespeare published in the New Statesman and Shakespeare’s reputed birthplace in Stratford-upon-Avon\, published in the New York Times.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” el_width=”10″ accent_color=”#bf7a03″][vc_column_text]Important information: The discussion will be available both online and in person.

SUMMARY:(Hybrid) On Reading with Joanna Biggs and Lauren Oyler
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In A Life of One’s Own: None Women Writers Begin Again\, author Joanna Biggs’s divorce catalyzes a fascination with women across history whose artistic innovations emerged out of conflict with gender expectations. Considering the likes of Mary Wollstonecraft\, Virginia Woolf\, and Zora Neale Huston\, Biggs discovers the strength and resolution that emerge when one is faced with the task of reconfiguring one’s life.  \nBiggs will appear in conversation with critic and novelist Lauren Oyler\, who similarly engages with literary history in her project of shaping and critiquing the literary present. They will discuss the constraints and liberties of writing as women in the contemporary world\, creative heritage\, and their sense of responsibility toward the future. \nAbout the speakers: \nJoanna Biggs is an editor at Harper’s Magazine. A Life of One’s Own: Nine Women Writers Begin Again was a New York Times spring pick and was shortlisted for the Marfield Prize / National Award for Arts Writing. The book also earned Biggs a grant from the Robert B. Silvers Foundation. Her writing has appeared in the London Review of Books\, the New Yorker and the New York Review of Books. While she now lives in New York\, where she is at work on a novel\, she lived in the 12ème arrondissement in 2003\, when a demi-baguette cost 20 cents. \nLauren Oyler‘s essays on books and culture appear regularly in the New Yorker\, the New York Times\, Harper’s\, the London Review of Books\, and many other publications. She is the author of the novel Fake Accounts and an essay collection\, No Judgment\, which was published this year. She lives in Berlin.
