SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Bruce Springsteen\, Born to Run
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Bruce Springsteen\, Born to Run. \nIn 2009\, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band performed at the Super Bowl’s halftime show. The experience was so exhilarating that Bruce decided to write about it. That’s how this extraordinary autobiography began. Over the past seven years\, Bruce Springsteen has privately devoted himself to writing the story of his life\, bringing to these pages the same honesty\, humour and originality found in his songs.\n\nBorn to Run will be revelatory for anyone who has ever enjoyed Bruce Springsteen\, but this book is much more than a legendary rock star’s memoir. This is a book for workers and dreamers\, parents and children\, lovers and loners\, artists\, freaks or anyone who has ever wanted to be baptized in the holy river of rock and roll. Rarely has a performer told his own story with such force and sweep. Like many of his songs (‘Thunder Road’\, ‘Badlands’\, ‘Darkness on the Edge of Town’\, ‘The River’\, ‘Born in the U.S.A.’\, ‘The Rising’\, and ‘The Ghost of Tom Joad’\, to name just a few)\, Bruce Springsteen’s autobiography is written with the lyricism of a singular songwriter and the wisdom of a man who has thought deeply about his experiences. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Book Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. 
 \nPlease stay tuned for more details about an in-person location for this event when more information becomes available.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Octavia E. Butler\, Parable of the Sower
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower. \nThis acclaimed post-apocalyptic novel of hope and terror from an award-winning author “pairs well with 1984 or The Handmaid’s Tale” and includes a foreword by N. K. Jemisin (John Green\, New York Times). \nWhen global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s\, California becomes full of dangers\, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father\, family\, and neighbors\, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk\, she suffers from hyperempathy\, a debilitating sensitivity to others’ emotions. \nPrecocious and clear-eyed\, Lauren must make her voice heard in order to protect her loved ones from the imminent disasters her small community stubbornly ignores. But what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: the birth of a new faith . . . and a startling vision of human destiny. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Book Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Liz Moore\, Long Bright River
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Liz Moore’s Long Bright River. In a Philadelphia neighborhood rocked by the opioid crisis\, two once-inseparable sisters find themselves at odds. One\, Kacey\, lives on the streets in the vise of addiction. The other\, Mickey\, walks those same blocks on her police beat. They don’t speak anymore\, but Mickey never stops worrying about her sibling. \nThen Kacey disappears\, suddenly\, at the same time that a mysterious string of murders begins in Mickey’s district\, and Mickey becomes dangerously obsessed with finding the culprit—and her sister—before it’s too late. \nAlternating its present-day mystery with the story of the sisters’ childhood and adolescence\, Long Bright River is at once heart-pounding and heart-wrenching: a gripping suspense novel that is also a moving story of sisters\, addiction\, and the formidable ties that persist between place\, family\, and fate. \n“[Moore’s] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates Long Bright River from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love.” – The New York Times Book Review\n\nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Book Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. 

 \nPlease stay tuned for more details about an in-person location for this event when more information becomes available.

SUMMARY:Tuesday Night Book Club: Charles Yu\, Interior Chinatown
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is Charles Yu’s Interior Chinatown. \nWillis Wu doesn’t perceive himself as a protagonist even in his own life: He’s merely Generic Asian man. Sometimes he gets to be Background Oriental Making a Weird Face or even Disgraced Son\, but he is always relegated to a prop. Yet every day he leaves his tiny room and enters the Golden Palace restaurant\, where Black and White\, a procedural cop show\, is in perpetual production. He’s a bit player here\, too\, but he dreams of being Kung Fu Guy—the most respected role that anyone who looks like him can attain. At least that’s what he has been told\, time and time again. Except by one person\, his mother. Who says to him: Be more. \nPlayful but heartfelt\, a send-up of Hollywood tropes and Asian stereotypes\, Interior Chinatown is Charles Yu’s most moving\, daring\, and masterly novel yet. \nWe are still waiting for more information about whether we will be able to hold this event in person. However\, we are also committed to continuing offering access virtually to Tuesday Night Book Club for all our new audiences! You can register now for Zoom access to the event. When you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation.

SUMMARY:History of Philadelphia Soul
DESCRIPTION:Class Schedule: Thursdays – Sept. 9\, Sept. 16 and Sept. 23 | 7:30 – 9:00 PM \nThis three-session virtual course taught by Kit O’Toole\, traces the history of Philadelphia or “Philly” Soul\, which greatly impacted not only the sound of 70s soul but the development of disco. Its lush string arrangements\, horns\, seductive vocals\, and varied lyrical content added an element of sophistication to funk and soul\, paving the way for disco and the 1990s neo-soul movement.  \n The class will begin with influences such as Phil Spector’s “wall of sound” production\, Motown’s pop/soul gloss\, and James Brown’s “on the one” funk. Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff\, the chief architects of the Philly Soul sound\, will be explored in depth\, as their compositions and productions resulted in classics by the O’Jays\, Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes\, and Billy Paul. The duo would also form the Philadelphia International label\, whose legendary house band MFSB helped craft the sound. Along the way\, the sound helped create disco and influenced acts as diverse as David Bowie\, Hall and Oates\, and Jill Scott. In addition to multimedia presentations\, group discussions will further enhance understanding of this greatly influential genre. \nZoom Link will be provided upon registration.

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: Jennifer Egan\, A Visit from the Goon Squad
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan. \nJennifer Egan’s spellbinding novel circles the lives of Bennie Salazar\, an ageing former punk rocker and record executive\, and Sasha\, the passionate\, troubled young woman he employs. Although Bennie and Sasha never discover each other’s pasts\, the reader does\, in intimate detail\, along with the secret lives of a host of other characters whose paths intersect with theirs\, over many years\, in locales as varied as New York\, San Francisco\, Naples\, and Africa. \nA Visit from the Goon Squad is a book about the interplay of time and music\, about survival\, about the stirrings and transformations set inexorably in motion by even the most passing conjunction of our fates. In a breathtaking array of styles and tones ranging from tragedy to satire to PowerPoint\, Egan captures the undertow of self-destruction that we all must either master or succumb to; the basic human hunger for redemption; and the universal tendency to reach for both—and escape the merciless progress of time—in the transporting realms of art and music. Sly\, startling\, exhilarating work from one of our boldest writers. \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. GET MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE ZOOM

SUMMARY:The Fine Art of Denim
DESCRIPTION:EXHIBITION EXTENDED UNTIL OCTOBER 14!!\nDenim\, with all its symbols and dualities\, is a common item of clothing that unites many around the globe. Dad Jeans\, skinny jeans\, low riders\, bell bottoms\, boot leg\, wide leg\, no leg\, 501s\, 504s\, button fly\, stretch jeans\, the American dress code writ large across centuries. With so many styles available and ways to accessorize/manipulate the fabric\, denim has historically allowed for a freedom of expression representing both individuality and shifts in cultural movements. Denim comes in a wide range of blues and other colors\, washes\, fades and textures making it a perfect\, but not obvious\, medium to create fine artwork. Denim that was discarded can open up a new way of looking\, a startling way of seeing past the everyday. What we have abandoned\, will be presented again\, re-purposed from the lives we lived\, to moments we experience together “forever in blue jeans.” \nMonmouth University’s Center for the Arts is pleased to present The Fine Art of Denim\, a juried exhibition of artists who use recycled denim in new and creative ways. The works featured in this exhibit come from artists all over the United States and abroad. \nPieces were selected from almost 100 entries by juror Vincent DiMattio\, an accomplished artist and Monmouth University Professor in the Department of Art and Design\, where he has taught for over 50 years and served as department chair and as gallery director for more than 20 years. \nExhibiting Artists include: Michele Fandel Bonner\, Howard Brandenburg*\, Kerstin Bruchhaeuser\, Emily Budd*\, Don Coulter\, Allison Dent\, Debra Disman\, Heidi Drahota\, Shelley Gardner\, George Gianakopoulos\, Sabine Heinlein\, Malka Kutnick\, Tanya Lucadamo\, Bob Mosier\, Johanna Norry\, Janice Patrignani\, Leah Poller\, Mary Schwarzenberger\, Ashley Thomas\, Ann Vollum\, Shirley Wagner \nVirtual Exhibit:  \n \n  \nThe Fine Art of Denim Artist Statements \n \n*artists featured in virtual exhibit only. \nVirtual Opening Reception:\nJune 24\, 2021 at 7 p.m. via ZOOM

SUMMARY:Virtual Tuesday Night Book Club: David Guterson\, Snow Falling on Cedars
DESCRIPTION:Join us for Tuesday Night Book Club! Hosted by Monmouth University’s Ken Womack and Michael Thomas\, each month we’ll explore a different novel. All you have to do is Zoom in and join the discussion! \nThis month’s novel is David Guterson’s Snow Falling on Cedars. \nSan Piedro Island\, north of Puget Sound\, is a place so isolated that no one who lives there can afford to make enemies. But in 1954 a local fisherman is found suspiciously drowned\, and a Japanese American named Kabuo Miyamoto is charged with his murder. In the course of the ensuing trial\, it becomes clear that what is at stake is more than a man’s guilt. For on San Pedro\, memory grows as thickly as cedar trees and the fields of ripe strawberries—memories of a charmed love affair between a white boy and the Japanese girl who grew up to become Kabuo’s wife; memories of land desired\, paid for\, and lost. Above all\, San Piedro is haunted by the memory of what happened to its Japanese residents during World War II\, when an entire community was sent into exile while its neighbors watched. Gripping\, tragic\, and densely atmospheric\, Snow Falling on Cedars is a masterpiece of suspense— one that leaves us shaken and changed. \n“Haunting…. A whodunit complete with courtroom maneuvering and surprising turns of evidence and at the same time a mystery\, something altogether richer and deeper.”—Los Angeles Times \n“Compelling…heartstopping. Finely wrought\, flawlessly written.”—The New York Times Book Review \nWhen you register you will be provided the meeting link to join the conversation. GET MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO USE ZOOM
